"We're a combined team from Xingfuxing and the Dragon Clan, here for the crystal token."
The Dragon Clan leader replied calmly.
"A strong team protecting a weaker one?"
The Insectoid boss raised an eyebrow to one side. Such a pairing was only common on the battlefield.
He continued,
"There are no crystal tokens here. Everyone who arrived earlier has already searched."
After the Insectoid boss finished speaking, he turned back to continue chopping his tree.
Once the situation was confirmed as safe, the Dragon Clan leader signaled behind him, and the remaining people emerged from the shadows one by one.
Compared to other teams, the combined force of Xingfuxing and the Dragon Clan, with the addition of Huayu and Hongwan, was indeed very large.
"Quite interesting."
A beautiful yet seemingly saintly woman on the opposite side chuckled lightly, covering her mouth.
Other teams cast their gazes towards the newcomers. Some, uninterested, retracted their sights after a second; a low-level planet held nothing of interest.
"Then we'll be imposing on you."
The Dragon Clan leader quickly found a relatively safe spot. Cheng Shiqin was tasked with using his wood-elemental mental power to construct small wooden houses, finally providing a place to stay, avoiding sleeping outdoors with insects and beasts.
"What the— are they cheating!"
The Insectoid boss glanced at the trees he had just chopped, then at the small house slowly being built next door, and exclaimed in exasperation.
"They're rather intriguing."
A delicate man with pointed ears nudged the little boy beside him.
"William, go and give them some of this meat. I'm curious about what kind of food they'll prepare."
The man instructed.
The little boy nodded and approached, carrying a pile of meat that was unidentifiable as to what animal it came from.
Lu Mingming stepped forward and reached out to take it.
"Hello, this is a gift my brother wants to give you."
"It's you."
Lu Mingming's eyes softened.
She had some recollection of him being the highly anticipated favorite in the first round of the junior保育师 (bao yu shi -保育师 is likely a specific term for a caretaker or a guardian role within the novel's context) competition.
...Could that man sitting over there be the legendary Elf Prince?
Lu Mingming glanced over discreetly, her gaze meeting his awkwardly. The man curved his lips into a friendly smile.
Other teams turned their heads in unison, quietly swallowing.
