"Boss, there's smoke over there. Should we go check it out? There must be a team cooking there, or maybe they're leaving some kind of mark."
The scout, who had just finished scouting the situation, flew to the campfire. Opposite him sat a man with exquisite features, dressed in luxurious clothes.
Strangely, his ears became increasingly pointed from front to back, forming a very beautiful shape that added to his charm, making him look as bizarre as a character model in a StarNet game.
The man possessed an almost otherworldly, perfect beauty. His smiling eyes were incredibly approachable, making it impossible to discern his true emotions.
By the campfire, one of the younger contestants spoke up: "Brother, do you want to go take a look? We just found a token numbered three over here, maybe we can go and gamble again?"
Let's go take a look!
A hint of interest appeared in the man's eyes. He turned to the young contestant and said, "William, remember to introduce me to the contestant you lost to in the first round. I'm very curious about what she looks like."

A noticeable air current suddenly swept through the sky, blowing aside the layers of trees that had been blocking the view, and the faint sound of wings flapping could be heard approaching from not far away.
As if sensing their predator, the wild boars on the ground abandoned their food and turned to run into the depths of the jungle, disappearing from sight.
The enormous creature that suddenly appeared was nearly two meters tall, shaped like a mantis, with thin, cicada-wing-like wings on its back, and its entire body covered in glossy black armor.
With a flick of his sharp sickle, he easily cleaved the black snake coiled in the tree in two, its death a truly gruesome sight.
“There are signs of use here, there’s a pile of bear droppings nearby, and there’s the smell of roasted meat underneath.”
The Zerg, having just arrived in the northern region, used their keen sense of smell to discern the usage of the entire area.
Several pairs of scarlet compound eyes were scanning the surroundings:
"It should be going forward in this direction, right in the direction of the smoke... Found it, there are a few banana leaves tied here, most likely left by them."

"Over there! Look over there! Could it be Lu Mingming and the others? In my heart, only she can cook such perfect dishes!"
Xu Jiajia took a deep breath, filled with anticipation.
She turned her head and glanced at the limbs bound by vines, which still held her tightly in mid-air, with no possibility of loosening their grip.
They had been trapped here for a whole afternoon. The vines around them imprisoned everyone's bodies, yet they did not damage them, and they could not be burned away by fire.
Oscar, being at the back, was the first to escape.
"Let's wait for them to come."
The dragon uncle sighed.
However, he had a bad feeling about it. He thought that a lot of people were heading in this direction.
The night breeze was cool, carrying with it a faint, unpleasant, sour smell from afar.
The dragon uncle gazed intently in a certain direction: Had he smelled something wrong...? Why does it smell so strange?
Immediately, some astute viewers in the live stream followed the direction the Dragon Clan Uncle was looking and zoomed in on that area.

[Wow, what happened over there? I just dragged my things to the south area and saw that all the squirrels were half-dead; it was a complete disaster.]
Instead of worrying about Xing Fuxing's team, I'm watching several top teams on the screen, preparing to head in this direction.
[It smells so good—the beggar's chicken they said is ready, Lu Mingming is going to go get it.]
...
"Almost done, almost done."
Lu Mingming waited by the earthen bed, calculating the exact time, waiting for the fire to gradually die down.
A subtle aroma of meat slowly wafted from the earthen kang (heated brick bed), only detectable when one got very close, and the fragrance was intoxicating.
"No way."
Lu Mingming felt a sense of foreboding; something must have cracked somewhere in the soil. He hoped that the dish hadn't turned out badly.
Because she was afraid of getting burned, she used a wooden stick to pull the five round balls of mud out of the dust and let them cool.
The little ones couldn't sit still, and eventually they all came over and squatted together in front of the mud balls, looking somewhat comical and cute.
"Don't touch it yet, it'll be very hot."
Lu Mingming found a mud ball with a crack.
Around the gap, tiny cracks spread intermittently across the originally smooth surface.
The surface was scorched very hot, and you could clearly see that the banana leaf in the middle was slightly burnt.
Lu Mingming tentatively used her fingers to pry open the not-so-hot edge little by little.
With a "crack," the soil parted along the cracks around it, revealing banana leaves that had turned dark green inside. A fresh fragrance, completely irrepressible, gushed out from the crack.
The aroma of banana leaves permeated the chicken, and everyone stared at the delicious food in front of them like hungry tigers.
“I’m thick-skinned and tough, I’m not afraid of getting burned, let me do it.”
Cheng Shiqin couldn't help but reach out and quickly untie the banana leaf's ribbon, spreading the leaf out evenly and neatly.

The whole chicken is golden and tender, with a layer of shiny oil on the skin.
"Luckily, it was wrapped thick enough, so it didn't burn."
