“Boss, I feel like something’s not right. Is the mission really that simple? It’s just building a temple?” Miao Miao said.
"Let's adapt to the situation. In short, everyone should be on high alert."
"understand!"
Cao Lihao glanced at Lu Jing and said somewhat apologetically:
"I was just thinking of letting you try it out, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of rule-based dungeon on our first try."
Lu Jing didn't care at all. "It's nothing. This is my first time entering this type of instance."
"You entered the instance before?" The monkey noticed the loophole in Lu Jing's words.
"Mm." Lu Jing nodded.
"How many times? Once or twice?"
Lu Jing counted them carefully on his fingers.
But he forgot about it because it happened so many times.
"Probably ten or so times."
"Pfft~"
Both the monkey and Miao Miao couldn't help but laugh.
Miao Miao reached out and ruffled Lu Jing's hair.
"One braggart is worth two!" the monkey bluntly exposed.
Lu Jing wanted to explain.
But Cao Lihao didn't give him that chance and waved his hand.
"Alright, everyone, get some rest. I'll keep watch tonight!"
Although it appears to be safe at present.
However, in the dungeon world, you must never let everyone fall asleep at the same time.
In case of an accident, it could be a matter of life and death.
The next day.
They continued to build temples as before.
Nothing unexpected happened during this time. They went up the mountain again, borrowed an oxcart from the villagers, cut down enough wood, and brought it back.
I guess I won't need to go up the mountain anymore.
After all, Gao Mingyuan died there.
After three days, the temple had already taken shape.
At this rate, they will be able to complete their mission in less than ten days.
But then, unexpectedly, something happened.
It was midnight on the fourth day.
The one on night watch is a monkey.
"Get up! Something's happened! Get up quickly."
The monkey's first shout.
The other three, who were more perceptive, had already opened their eyes.
Flames were seen shooting into the sky outside.
"Is there a fire there?"
"Damn! It looks like the direction of the mountain god's temple."
Fan Zhida's roar could already be heard outside.
..........
Bad news: The mountain god temple has been burned down.
Good news: The fire wasn't too bad; it wasn't completely destroyed.
Zhang Songgan inspected the place from top to bottom and said:
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened, and the snow on top made it difficult to burn."
"It's not a big problem; it just takes a few more days and won't delay our plans."
Only some wood was damaged; the basic structure remains.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Damn it, don't let me find out who did this!"
Fan Zhiyu said angrily.
Not only Fan Zhiyu, but everyone involuntarily clenched their fists.
There's a saying that goes, "The grandson sells his grandfather's land without a second thought!"
The mountain god temple in front of them was a matter of life and death.
Moreover, they cut down each log individually and transported them back one by one.
Finally, they meticulously crafted each piece into the necessary components for the mountain god temple, enduring hardships known only to themselves.
However, the villagers were even angrier than they were.
When the villagers heard the news that the mountain god temple had been burned down, they all came out of their homes and gathered at the temple.
Anger and dissatisfaction were evident on everyone's face.
People started discussing it, and voices rose and fell.
"Who did this? How could they treat our mountain god temple like this!"
"This is blasphemy!"
"Needless to say! It must have been done by those people surnamed Li."
Someone said angrily.
The voices were filled with indignation, and others echoed their agreement.
"These people are really bad."
"Disrespecting the mountain god will bring retribution sooner or later!"
"Let's go settle accounts with them!"

As emotions ran high, someone in the crowd suggested going to settle scores with the group surnamed Li.
"Let's go! Let's settle accounts with them."
A burly man shouted.
The voice was loud and firm, and it immediately received a response from the others.
"Go, go, go!!"
People joined in the shouting, determined to demand an explanation.
So, a group of angry villagers marched away in a large procession.
........
The group of outsiders looked at each other.
"It seems there are quite a few conflicts among the people in this village."
"Why are there only people with the surnames Li and Zhang in this village?" Miao Miao asked curiously.
The vast majority of villagers in the village are surnamed Zhang.
The villagers with the surname Li only make up a small portion.
Cao Lihao said, "Perhaps it's a merger of two villages, one with the surname Li and the other with the surname Zhang."
Miao Miao nodded, finding the reason quite reasonable.
Fan Zhiyu said, "What are we going to do in the future? We can't just stay at the mountain god temple day and night, can we?"
Staying up all night is no problem for them, but it's impossible for anyone to stay outside the village at night.
The biting cold was unbearable even for the awakened.
"Cough cough~"
Zhang Songgan coughed as he spoke:
"Perhaps we can talk to the villagers and see if they can help us. Judging from the villagers' attitude, they seem to value the mountain god temple very much."
