Chapter 172 Beast Temple
Around midnight, Lei Jun's barbecue stall had run out of food. Compared to the surrounding stalls, which were closing early amidst the reluctance of their customers, it was a good start to the day.
They returned to Miler's place and began to tally up their earnings for the day. They had earned nearly 3, which wasn't a small amount, but considering the summoning fees weren't that high...
They gave Miler 5000 for tomorrow's summons; they still had over 22,000 left.
Each person needs to prepare about 6,000 yuan to summon 6 summoned beasts, and they only have enough for 3 people to complete the summoning.
Yufei and Lei Jun discussed it and decided to prepare more ingredients tomorrow so that all ten brothers could summon six summoned beasts and experience this otherworldly competition together.
However, only three people can summon tomorrow, so they discussed it together and decided who should go.
Yufei and Lei Jun definitely secured two spots, and for the third spot, they didn't give way to each other; instead, a fierce yet fair free-for-all ensued.
Surprisingly, Li Lanjuan defeated all the other contestants except Lei Jun and secured the spot for tomorrow.
Yufei and Miler looked at Li Lanjuan with bright eyes. As expected, Sister Juan is a powerful queen!
At that moment, Mi Le regarded Li Lanjuan as her idol and immediately wanted to become her apprentice.
After deciding these things, they started thinking about where they would sleep that night.
Lei Jun suggested finding a short-term rental, but Miler rejected the idea, explaining that their city didn't have daily rentals, only monthly rentals.
However, the preliminary rounds in her city only last five days. If they were to follow the competition, they would have to head to Wangwu City, a city at a higher level than hers, after the five-day preliminary rounds.
Monthly rent isn't very cost-effective either. Staying in hotels would be too expensive for them, so small hotels and hostels are the only options left.
Yufei also rejected these two options. A small hotel would be a considerable expense for 10 people, and a youth hostel was just a place to stay in a shared accommodation arrangement.
Living with other strangers would be very inconvenient for them, so after considering it together, everyone decided to spend the night in the suburbs and try to find a small inn to visit tomorrow.
Find a place that is relatively clean and has a simple staff.
When Miler heard that Yufei and the others were going to sleep in the countryside for the night, she immediately objected. Going to the countryside at night was dangerous, even knowing that the ten of them had spent their nights there before.
(Milo thought that Yufei and the others came from the deep mountains and had been living in the suburbs.)
But now that she'd heard it, and genuinely considered them friends, she immediately said that if they didn't mind, they could sleep on the floor in her open space, since there was plenty of room outside where she lived.
This is a rooftop in the city, and generally no one goes up here. She's lived on this rooftop for the past few years.
Lei Jun looked at the open space and thought it was feasible. He then looked at Yufei and asked for her opinion.
Yufei was definitely fine, so after the ten people expressed their deepest gratitude to Miler, they began to unroll the tents that were rolled up on their backpacks and quickly set them up.
After all that commotion, they didn't fall asleep until almost 2 a.m. The Miler brothers had already gone home, and Miler himself had returned to his room and drifted off to sleep.
After rinsing their mouths and washing up, the group returned to their respective tents and fell into a deep sleep.
Around 8:30 the next morning, Lei Jun and his team woke up and tidied up a bit.
Miler was still asleep, so they used the time to prepare breakfast. Today's breakfast consisted of steamed buns and corn.
They took out a steamer and some pre-made steamed buns, along with about ten ears of corn, from their dimensional pocket and started steaming them in the kitchen. At the same time, they cooked a pot of millet porridge.
Miler was awakened by the aroma of food; she groggily remembered the young lady who cooked so delicious meals.
Now that he was mostly awake, he slipped on his slippers and rushed outside.
She saw a group of people busy outside, and when they saw her, they greeted her warmly and told her to hurry up and wash her face and brush her teeth, as breakfast would be ready soon.
Miler went back into the room to listen to them, quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and returned to the courtyard.
When she returned outside, Yufei and the others were already seated at the dining table, on which were two bowls.
There was a basin filled with these long, yellowish-orange things. Yufei told her that they were corn.
There was also a bowl filled with something white and steaming hot—that was steamed buns.
Miler sat in the spot specially prepared for her, with a bowl of pale yellow liquid in front of her.
"This is millet porridge. You can have a sip of this, then a bite of that plump, white steamed bun. Even a god wouldn't trade this life for something like this."
Yufei took a bite of porridge and a bite of steamed bun, looking completely satisfied.
At the same time, they also kindly reminded Miler to be careful of the heat.
Miler picked up a white bun from the bowl, and her fingers couldn't help but squeeze it. Mmm, so soft!
Miler unconsciously twitched her fingers and pinched again. Yufei watched as the little girl did something indecent.
A bead of sweat the size of a goose appeared on his forehead. He gestured to Miler to quickly taste it.
Miler finally snapped out of the fun of making the buns and put one in her mouth.
Mmm~ So delicious! That soft and chewy texture, with each bite, a subtle sweetness slowly unfolds in her mouth as she chews.
This made her eat the bun faster. When she bit into the meat filling with broth, the flavor of the flour combined with the meat...
Miler was filled with admiration for what a brilliant invention it was; her attention was completely drawn to the breakfast before her, and she even felt a little thirsty.
I blew on the steam from the millet porridge, not caring that it was too hot, and took a sip.
My stomach immediately felt warm; this is what life is all about!
After breakfast, Miler ate four or five steamed buns, an ear of corn, and two or three bowls of millet porridge—an amount almost equal to that of Lei Jun and several other grown men.
Another meal has successfully stuffed Miler, which is a happy problem. Ever since she met Sister Yufei, she's been stuffed at every meal.
She was still not satisfied and wished she could grow another stomach.
After breakfast, led by Miler, they arrived at the Temple of the Beast God.
In front of the Beast God Temple stands a gigantic four-winged leopard, poised to roar.
Looking at the sculpture, Yufei and the others felt a sense of oppression coming from above.
This is a sacred beast, a light and shadow beast, one of the Four Heavenly Kings beasts. Of course, it's not the most powerful summon beast known at present, but it's the first summon beast we've encountered with extremely powerful strength.
It is of great historical significance, which is why the sculptures in the Beast Temple are all based on it.
Passing the sculpture of the Light and Shadow Beast, you'll reach the Temple of the Beast God, a magnificent and imposing building, somewhat similar to the cathedrals in the western part of their planet Earth.
The walls are covered with reliefs, recording their historical connection with the summoned beasts.
