From a distance, the Void Island appears to be shrouded in clouds and mist, but when everyone is actually there, the wind is gentle and the clouds are clear, the scenery is pleasant, and there is no trace of fog at all.
As the people from the Demon God Temple announced the start of the competition, more than a thousand people quickly dispersed and rushed to the island, fearing that they would miss out on a good spot if they were late.
After all, the inner lakes come in different sizes. Even if you think carefully, you know that the larger the inner lake, the greater the probability of catching a high-year-old Void Beast.
Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao were not in a hurry, but this made Hou Tu very anxious, and she wanted to rush in to help them grab a position.
Damn it, even though he told them to just let go and ignore everything else, but... they were just too relaxed.
It really makes people hate it...
Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao's behavior caused the gods to laugh at Houtu again. Houtu was so angry that he almost burned his hair.
Void Island is truly a paradise, with lakes hidden among the emerald mountains, like mirrors and pearls.
"It's still early, let's go for a walk first." Lai Siyu was in a good mood as it was her first time in this place and the scenery was pleasant.
"Okay!" Mu Lingxiao looked around and agreed happily.
Mountains surround water, water marks the mountains, sea breeze blows on your face, and phoenix flowers bloom...
Most monks have already occupied their favorite lakes, baited their fishing rods, and leisurely waited for prey to come to them.
Lakes that are not very large are occupied by monks with higher levels of cultivation.
As Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao traveled along the way, not only were they looked at with contempt or vigilance by those cultivators, they also witnessed many incidents of lake robbery.
After all, everyone came here at the risk of their lives, and it would seem like we would be letting ourselves down if we didn't occupy a larger lake.
The world of monks is so cruel. Maybe when the competition is over... there will be a scene of murder and treasure grabbing.
The Void Island is huge and boundless, with countless lakes scattered on it, large and small, shimmering in the sunlight like broken diamonds.
Although there are many lakes, there are only a few large and relatively large ones.
This is also why there is a fight among just a few thousand people.
Seeing that Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao were finally walking further and further away from the core area, the disdain and contempt in the eyes of those monks who had already started fishing became more and more intense.
These two people didn't know what kind of luck they had, everyone else died, but they were the only two left alive.
But so what?
If you can't occupy a good lake, how can you catch the Void Beast of the previous year?
The Void Island is very large. Although the monks sat down to fish, their spiritual consciousness was directed outward, so everything around them was in their minds.
Finally, the two stopped on a hillside covered with phoenix flowers.
Phoenix flowers, as their name suggests, bloom bright red, their bowl-sized flowers, reddening the years and enchanting midsummer...
The two of them strolled to the small lake at the foot of the mountain, and Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao slowly began to set up the place.
Soon, a small thatched cottage was built at the foot of the mountain.
In front of the small hut, the two transplanted a phoenix tree and set up several tables under the tree.
The young man in gray placed his fishing gear by the lake, while the young man in white burned incense and brewed tea beside the table.
This action of theirs not only surprised the cultivators whose spiritual consciousness had spread to them, but also made the twelve main gods who had spread their spiritual consciousness twitch their lips.
"Hou Tu, did you find these two funny guys yourself?" The Rain God covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Haha, Hou Tu, are these two guys planning to settle down here?
I think you can help them."
"Hou Tu, don't stay here and embarrass yourself. You're already going to lose anyway, so just pay for the divine stone and leave!"
Everyone was laughing unscrupulously, and Hou Tu's face was darker than the bottom of the pot.
But he had publicly asked others to let the game go, and now it was difficult for him to go back on his word and kill the two people.
Forget it, just bear with it for now and settle the score later!
As for... quitting midway, Hou Tu had never even thought about it.
Even if he loses, he has to lose with dignity!
There was really nothing interesting to see during the competition. After the gods took a look around, they withdrew their spiritual consciousness. Naturally, there were people watching the scene of the competition, so they didn't need to worry about it all the time.
To be honest, if they hadn't placed a huge bet this time and Bai Qi from the Demon God Temple was not present in person, they would not have come to join in the fun.
(Well... okay, the real reason is that everyone is bored and wants to have some fun.)
This was enough ridicule from the eleven main gods, and the monks participating in the competition were also very happy.
It’s fine if the two men are being affectionate, but what the hell is this? Are they going to get married and have a child here?
The point is, two men can’t give birth to a child.
Well, since there are funny people willing to entertain them, of course they are happy to watch.
It would be a waste not to enjoy the fun that comes to your door for free!
The two-day competition is long, so of course there are bets.
There are only a little over a thousand people in the finals, so everyone can place a bet.
Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao are also on the betting list.
The people from the Demon God Temple waited until everyone's positions were determined before starting the gambling game, and the odds were also determined according to the size of the lake occupied by the monks.
Therefore, Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao, who occupied the smallest lake, had the highest odds in the entire betting list.
Ten to one.
While distributing the betting slips, the people from the Demon God Temple also distributed specially made fish baskets, telling the monks to put all the void beasts they caught in the fish baskets to facilitate the calculation of points.
At the same time, Yan Shen does not allow snatching.
Once this statement was made, it stopped many people from wanting to snatch others' points at the end of the game.
Countless monks with low cultivation levels were originally worried about what to do when the competition ended, but with this statement, their hearts instantly settled down.
This way you don't have to worry about being robbed or losing your life.
Most of the cultivators bet that Siyu and Mu Lingxiao would not be able to make it into the top 20. This is an opportunity to make a fortune that is right at their doorstep. There is no reason not to cherish it.
Only a few people bet that Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao would win the championship, and the amount of money they bet was not small, which made the deacon of the Demon God Temple laugh at them.
I don’t know if those people were bored and had too many divine stones to burn, and they actually wasted them like this.
The deacon of the Demon God Temple finally went to the smallest lake among the cultivators where Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao were. He handed the things to the two with an arrogant look and lazily asked them if they wanted to place a bet.
Thousands of names were listed on the betting slip, and beneath each name were some fluorescent words.
That indicated the stakes that everyone had placed. Lai Siyu took a look and discovered that the direct disciples of eleven temples, including the Ice Temple, Rain Temple, and Wind Temple, had a strong chance of winning the championship.
Of course, she and Mu Lingxiao were the most popular, and almost everyone bet that they would not make it into the top 20.
If they could bet that the two of them would come in last, these people would probably place the bet without hesitation.
