The others had just finished digging holes in the mud and buried the banana leaves and wooden skewers, which had been stained with the smell of meat, deep into the soil to avoid attracting the attention of wild animals nearby.
They all looked up when they heard what the uncle said.
The dragon clan leader added, "If we stay here for three days, each person will only get 300 points, which is far from enough to achieve the victory target."
Upon hearing the word "crystal," Lu Mingming gently scratched at the bulging backpack with her fingertips, unexpectedly touching a small protrusion that rubbed against her fingertips.
"Why don't we continue forward and look for crystals?"

Oscar was the first to offer his opinion.
He had an intense desire for victory, because it was related to his future wealth and glory!
What if they're lucky enough to find a crystal...
But then another problem arose. Xu Jiajia tentatively asked, "How should we divide it?"
In terms of strength, none of Xing Fuxing's group seemed particularly capable fighters, while the dragons were all fierce and could easily steal the crystal.
Originally, it was thought that this awkward topic would make both sides become more aggressive, but to everyone's surprise, the dragon leader smiled calmly and generously replied, "Let's decide by rock-paper-scissors! It's all about luck. We won't bully the weak."
Xing Fuxing and her group breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the other party had given them a lot of face.
Having made up their minds, the dragon uncle led the way and walked along the stream. Occasionally, an eagle would soar across the sky, but fortunately, they did not encounter anything else dangerous.
The little cubs were quite young, and they couldn't stand the fatigue after walking for long; their little legs were sore and aching.
The group had to stop and rest for a while. As time went on and the sun began to set, the little ones had almost lost all their strength. Their eyelids drooped down visibly, and they were half asleep.
口口五六三七四三六七五
Lu Mingming took out a dried bear skin and gave it to the little ones as a warm blanket.
Staying here isn't going to work; a bunch of guys are blocking my victory...
Oscar gritted his teeth and volunteered, "Let's regroup and go find the crystal token, and leave a few of us here to watch over these kids. What do you think?"
The dragons did not object and selected Cheng Shiqin, Hua Xia, Lu Mingming, and another dragon to stay and take care of them.
A gentle breeze was blowing, and the setting sun gradually hid behind the trees, casting a thin, orange-gold veil over the forest.
As usual, they buried a patch of preserved bear dung around their camp, temporarily designating this area as their territory.
After finishing their work, Lu Mingming leaned against the shade of a tree to rest, carrying her backpack. Hua Xia and the Dragon Clan sat together to the side, while Cheng Shiqin patrolled the area and took turns.
Lu Mingming lowered her head to look at the wound on her hand where the little guy had bitten her. It was a little warm and hot, but there were no special marks left on her fingers. Instead, it was smooth and untouched, as if nothing had happened.
"How strange..."
"What's wrong?"
QQ: 563743675
Hua Xia suddenly asked.
"It's nothing, I thought my hand was injured, but it turns out it wasn't."
Lu Mingming smiled and made up a lie, not revealing the truth.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, there was still no news of the team that went out to explore returning. The cubs, however, were hungry. One by one, they woke up from their sleep and sat obediently in place, yawning sleepily.
Lu Mingming couldn't bear it, so she opened a small bag of snacks and shared them with the cubs.
Seeing this, Hua Xia interjected, "Did you do all of this?"
Lu Mingming nodded in agreement.
"You are remarkable; you have led the Interstellar Alliance to significantly improve the quality of life."
It was rare for China to show a smile.
Lu Mingming asked in confusion, "How could that be? As beastmen, you are ultimately more familiar with your own kind."
口口伍陆彡⑦④彡陆⑦伍
Hua Xia remained silent, which made Lu Mingming a little embarrassed.
Seeing that he was deliberately avoiding the question, the resting environment became unusually quiet, with only the sound of the cubs chewing their food being heard.
During the time the two remained silent, messages flooded the screen.
[I saw the Alpha team coming this way, so I switched to this live stream perspective, haha.]
[They just stole the kids from the last team they encountered, perfectly exploiting the loophole of "protect a kid, get 100 points".]
Which team is resting here? How come three people are bringing so many cubs? This is paradise on Alpha Planet!
As the comments on the screen said, not long after, Cheng Shiqin ran back at a faster pace: "A group of people are coming, everyone get ready!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people dressed entirely in black emerged from the woods. Two burly men at the head of the group escorted Oscar. Even though there were only five of them at first glance, their imposing presence was not to be underestimated.
Each of them was followed by two or three cubs. The cubs didn't seem afraid, but there were far too many of them, nearly ten in total, which was quite strange.
Seeing Lu Mingming's face, Oscar said nervously, "I got separated from the Dragon Clan. This is the Alpha Star team. They're demanding all their cubs in exchange for my safe return. Please make the exchange quickly!"

These remarks were startling. All the members of Xingfuxing's team stood up, protecting the frightened cubs behind them, their four pairs of eyes filled with wariness.
Are you forcibly increasing the basic score?
Lu Mingming figured out the other party's scheme and unconsciously touched the backpack on his chest.
No matter what, she would never hand over the child.
Alpha's team leader recognized Lu Mingming at a glance, pointed at her and said, "If you don't need the little one, or if you can be used to exchange for your team members, I'd like to see what you're capable of."
