Chapter 188 Stop pretending
Cai Ji easily wiped out a group of low-level demon kings, absorbed the spiritual power from the corpses, and flew back to the city gate tower.
What greeted him was the people's thunderous cheers.
"The envoy is mighty!"
"The envoy is mighty!"
"The envoy is mighty!"
The guards on the city wall raised their demon-slaying swords and shouted excitedly in unison.
After witnessing Cai Ji killing a group of demon kings as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, people's morale reached an unprecedented high.
For thousands of years, the human race has been passively beaten.
The territory becomes smaller and smaller, and the population becomes smaller and smaller.
Like today, human masters took the initiative to go out of the city and killed a group of demon kings without leaving a single piece of armor. The people present had never seen it with their own eyes, let alone heard of it in their lives.
Cai Ji felt a little overwhelmed when he saw everyone cheering for him.
His old face turned red, and he waved his hands modestly: "Alright, alright, stop shouting! It is our duty to exorcise demons, so there is no need to be so polite..."
"Long live the special envoy! The human race will win!"
"Long live the special envoy! The human race will win!"
"Long live the special envoy! The human race will win!"
When everyone heard Cai Ji's words, they shouted even louder.
The Lord of Sand City also came forward with his men, and while he saluted to Cai Ji with an excited expression, he said, "Thank you, Special Envoy, for saving Sand City from danger! This kind of victory is what we need right now, it's really encouraging!"
"Yeah!"
"This way, everyone will have the confidence to fight the demon clan!"
"This battle comes just in time!"
The other generals also echoed.
When Cai Ji heard this, his heart suddenly moved.
He looked up at the excited human guards in all directions, and the pattern in his mind opened up again.
Boost morale!!!
Correct!
The demon race is about to launch a general attack. In addition to enhancing the strength of the human race, boosting morale is equally important!
Because the human race has been suppressed by the demon race for thousands of years, they have been in fear.
Many people have formed the pessimistic idea that the demon race is much stronger than the human race.
This kind of pessimistic thinking is okay under normal circumstances, but once the two sides go to war, it will become a time bomb.
Once the battle situation turns unfavorable, the confidence of many people can easily collapse.
Therefore, before the full-scale war breaks out, everyone must know that the human race will win this battle!
To achieve this goal, the simplest way is to let everyone know one thing - there are invincible strong people among the human race!
What demon king and demon emperor!
In front of a truly powerful human being, they are completely vulnerable!
Cai Ji's mind raced, and he decided on the spot to give up the idea of becoming the King of Gou.
The previous pattern was still too small!
From now on, he will be a savior!
The savior who doubles mankind’s confidence!
Stop pretending!
Cai Ji made up his mind, took off his helmet on the spot, raised his hand and said loudly: "My fellow countrymen, please be patient! Please listen to me first."
Swish!
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings immediately became quiet.
Everyone shut their mouths and looked at him intently.
"My last name is Cai, and I'm an innkeeper." Cai Ji briefly introduced himself, and then acted like a master: "I don't like fighting and killing, I just want to live a peaceful life! But not long ago, I accidentally learned that the demon race is preparing to launch a full-scale attack in a few months to completely wipe out the human race!"
Wow!
Upon hearing this, the people present were once again in an uproar.
"What? The demon tribe is going to launch a full-scale attack?"
"Damn monster! You're pushing it too far!"
"Can we hold it?"
"We have to defend it even if we can't! Fight them!"
The grassroots demon-suppressing guards and the common people did not know the news yet, and were all shocked and angry at this moment.
Seeing this, Cai Ji continued, "Don't be afraid! For thousands of years, the demons have been suppressing us! But from now on, I will let them know what it means that there are always people better than you! It's not that we humans can't beat them, we just don't want to cause suffering to all the people! Since they don't want to give us a chance to live, we will send them to hell in advance!"
"Correct!"
"Kill the demon clan!"
"Send them to heaven!"
As soon as the words fell, shouts were heard again all around.
However, this shouting was much weaker than before.
Many people are skeptical about Cai Ji's words.
The number of monsters is many times greater than that of humans, and they occupy most of the world's territory.
It’s good enough if the human race can hold on!
How is it possible to just destroy the demon clan?
Brag it!
Cai Ji had anticipated the crowd's reaction and continued, "I know many of you don't believe me! So to prove that I'm not bragging, I'm going to get the Sand Scorpion Demon Emperor's head for everyone to admire!"
Wow!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sensation at the scene.
"What? The Sand Scorpion Demon Emperor?"
"That's the Demon Emperor!"
"What is the level of cultivation of the Special Envoy?"
"What are you afraid of? I trust the envoy!"
Everyone's face changed drastically and they whispered nervously.
The people of Pingsha City are very familiar with the Sand Scorpion Demon Emperor.
This Demon Emperor has been entrenched in the vast desert in the north for thousands of years. Not only has it cut off the trade route between Zhongzhou and Beizhou, it also personally attacked Pingsha City hundreds of years ago and almost destroyed the entire city!
Now, the special envoy actually said that he wanted to take the Demon Emperor’s head?
This……
Whoosh!
While they were discussing, Cai Ji, who was the focus of everyone's attention, suddenly jumped into the sky and flew rapidly towards the north.
"City Lord, isn't the special envoy being too rash? What if the Demon Emperor fails to be killed and is angered, causing him to come and attack Pingsha City again?" A general complained nervously upon seeing this.
"Shut up!" The Lord of Sand City had a gloomy face and said in a cold voice: "Since Envoy Cai dared to make such a boast, it means he has the ability to do it! Tell the people below to stop gossiping and continue to guard the city wall!"
It was just noon and there was still a lot of time left before the full moon.
Although the first two waves of demon kings have been annihilated, strictly speaking the demon siege has not ended and the defense cannot be relaxed.
"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, the general immediately went down to pass on the order.
……
time flies.
Guided by the pointing box, Cai Ji flew to the bone cemetery that the dung beetle demon king had mentioned.
This is an area in the center of the desert. The ground is littered with the remains of various creatures, most of which are animal skeletons, covering an area of more than ten miles in radius.
In the middle of the bone cemetery, there is a group of building ruins.
Most of the buildings built with giant stone slabs have been buried under the sand, leaving only some tall buildings with their upper half exposed above the sand.
The Sand Scorpion Demon Emperor is hiding in a building.
"A tornado is coming down from the sky, blowing away the dust!"
Cai Ji was in a hurry, so after flying over the ruins and observing the terrain briefly, he began to cast magic.
The Dung Beetle Demon King once said that the magic that the Sand Scorpion Demon Emperor is good at is "Gathering Sand"!
Blow away the nearby sand first and see what it does!
Whoohoo!
As soon as he spoke, a huge tornado appeared out of thin air driven by spiritual power.
The center of the tornado sucked up the sand from the ruins like a vacuum cleaner, and then used strong winds to roll the sand high into the sky and scatter it far away.
In less than a moment, the sand in the ruins was drained away, revealing mottled floor tiles and broken walls.
"Squeak!"
Hundreds of sand scorpions of all sizes were sucked out of their nests in the ruins and flew into the air.
Boom!
A giant scorpion with a pitch-black body and a human-like upper body smashed through the stone wall of the ruins and suddenly rushed out of the ground.
It held up a rusty sickle, pointed it angrily at Cai Ji in the air, and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you destroy my home!"
