Who are you?
Cheng Shiqin stood there, stunned, staring at the girl in front of him.
The girl had an extremely delicate and pretty face, long curly hair that reached her waist, and her eyes were full of intelligence. Soft white feathers covered the bare skin from her neck to her hands.
The feathers were slightly damp after being exposed to rain.
The girl quickly put down the little one she had been protecting in her arms, took off her wet coat, and used the dry inner lining to wipe the few raindrops off the little guy's body.
She kept talking, frankly revealing her identity, giving Xing Fuxing's team a sense of security.
“I am a member of the bird race, and my name is Hua Yu. I am the only one here to participate in the conservationist competition on the main planet.”
Lu Mingming handed them the dried bearskin to keep them warm.

Hua Yu said thank you, then lowered her head and muttered a complaint.
"It's strange, it wasn't raining when I came from the west, but it suddenly started raining when I was only 100 meters away."
Lu Mingming remained silent in the corner.
The dragon clan member poured her a cup of hot water as usual and quietly asked, "Isn't the bird clan usually one of the strongest contenders? I remember last year the bird clan made it into the top ten and ranked third. How come you're the only one this year?"
"Oh, this? Our bird clan has welcomed back a new holy son, I think he's some kind of black phoenix? Anyway, he's very rare, so they only sent me to compete."
After Hua Yu finished answering, she carefully squeezed out the dampness from her long hair, pursed her lips, and smiled softly: "This is the time since the main planet started hosting this event that the Bird Clan has participated the least, because almost everyone went to attend the investiture ceremony of the Holy Son."
Black Phoenix and the Bird Clan?
Lu Mingming took a sip of hot water and gently tapped his fingers on both sides of the banana leaf cup.
She vaguely remembered that Hua Hua was from the Xuanfeng Clan, and according to Xing Chang, she had already been taken to the Bird Clan.
Could it be the other person?

Hua Yu added, "This weather is really unpredictable. I see a bunch of people sitting outside. Aren't they going to come in?"
Lu Mingming continued, "They're trying to snatch the cubs, and they've gone to great lengths to scatter our team."
"Huh?! It's that scary? Then I'll stay with you and keep going. Anyway, it's the same for me wherever I go."
No one objected to Xing Fuxing's decision, given that the bird race posed an extremely low risk.
Hua Yu hummed a little tune, snuggled up happily in a ball on the side of the blanket, shook her fluffy feathers like a bird, and gradually fell asleep to the white noise of the rain.
The thunderstorm outside the window showed no signs of stopping. Lu Mingming looked out and saw that the small forest was shrouded in mist and rain, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring in the distance. A few minutes later, a terrifying bolt of lightning flashed white.
From the opposing Alpha team, someone ran back under the banana leaves in the rain from afar, relaying all the information they had gathered after scouting the area.
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Alpha team turned around and met Lu Mingming's gaze, his eyes gradually becoming deep and unfathomable.
It seems that Xing Fuxing has been hiding her true identity quite well.
Hidden by the rain, Lu Mingming saw the other person open their mouth and utter a lip-reading phrase. After speaking, he turned around and greeted them.

The Alpha team obeyed orders and began packing their belongings. They were going to find a safe cave to take shelter from the rain, while Oscar was left behind as a burden, and no one cared about his safety.
Lu Mingming continued to exert mental control, and a wave of mental energy subtly extended into the forest, keeping the weather in a continuous drizzle.
After doing all this, she quickly asked Cheng Shiqin to pick up Oscar and bring him back to the cabin, her mind replaying the words the Alpha leader had said to her just a second ago.
"I know it's you. I'm looking forward to our next meeting."
Watching the Alpha team disappear into the distance, Lu Mingming thought to himself, "I hope we never see each other again."
Cheng Shiqin carried Oscar, who was shivering from the cold, into the cabin.
"What do you mean? Why didn't you use the cubs to replace me just now?"
Oscar regained his strength and was the first to fire at the Xingfu Star team, causing the Dragon Clan members to frown deeply.
Cheng Shiqin snorted coldly: "Are you joking? It seems you've completely forgotten about the 'Cub Protection Law.' Besides, are you sure you can guarantee the safety of all the cubs?"
"I understand, you're all rejecting me, aren't you?"

Oscar clearly wouldn't listen. He threw away the hot water the dragon had given him, completely disregarding Cheng Shiqin's words and rejecting everything to vent his anger.
"Then I won't tell you where the rest of the dragons are! From today onwards, I declare that I am leaving Xing Fuxing's team, and I will not help you anymore. Don't let us meet again, or I won't hold back."
Oscar slammed the door and left, leaving a group of people standing there completely bewildered.
Hua Yu asked curiously, "Were they your former teammates?" Lu Mingming replied while cleaning up the water stains on the wooden board, "They were before, but maybe not anymore."
Once the rain stopped and the sky cleared, the dragons asked to go find their teammates first, and Xing Fuxing's side naturally did not refuse.
They followed the direction the dragon caravan had left in. Every so often, Huaxia would use strips of grass torn from banana leaves to tie a bright ribbon to each large tree they passed as a marker to prevent them from getting lost.
In addition, the bird people have excellent eyesight, which allows them to avoid most unexpected disasters along the way.
While watching Xing Fuxing's team search for their teammates, people in the live stream chatted amongst themselves.
That rain just now... it couldn't have been ordinary rain, could it? I only found this one spot where it was raining among all the security cameras.
[There must be a powerful figure among them who is helping Xing Fuxing's team. China hasn't intervened; could it be him? I think it's very likely.]
Discussion group 563743675
[What if it were Lu Mingming? After all, she passed the intermediate qualification exam in a row.]
[Lu Mingming is indeed a good cook, but my intuition tells me she's not that great. Oscar left Xing Fuxing's team, so now their team only has Hua Xia and Cheng Shiqin left who can really fight?]
Xing Fuxing's weaknesses were obvious, and everyone who supported her was on tenterhooks.
It was dinnertime, and the staff served a rather sumptuous meal to the audience in the stadium.
Morian stared at Lu Mingming's game on the big screen in the stadium, while noticing that Oranner still hadn't returned and was completely unaware of his opponent's situation.
He glanced at Gudfen on the main stage.
A staff member quickly approached Goodfellow and whispered something in her ear.
Goodfellow nodded, which made Morian's mood even heavier.
The plan is about to begin.
