Hearing Lily's call, Takagi Akira replied in a very calm tone without even turning his head.

"I know. I left those two on purpose."

Lily was so furious at Gao Muming's indifferent answer that she didn't even bother to pick up the fallen magic stone. She screamed and ran to Gao Muming's side, grabbing the hem of Gao Muming's clothes tightly with one hand.

"Lord Takagi Akira, are you crazy? You are deliberately attracting so many killer ants here."

"Even a five-man team of experienced LV1s may not be able to guarantee their safety under the siege of so many killer ants. If you want to kill Lily, just say so directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Hearing this, Gao Muming chuckled and raised his hand to rub Lily's little head.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I can protect you. This is not the first time I have done this."

Just when Lily wanted to say something else, the killer ants gathered towards the space where Gao Muming was. Looking at the densely packed red eyes, Lily felt a little weak.

"This is the end. There are so many killer ants gathered here. You are really the one who killed them."

As she spoke, Lily took out the magic sword from her arms.

"Let's find a way to fight our way out as soon as possible."

Gao Muming grabbed Lily's collar with one hand and lifted her up behind him.

"Just wait here quietly and watch my performance."

Under Lily's shocked gaze, Gao Muming just stood there without moving his feet, the spear in his hand flying up and down, and all the killer ants that besieged him were killed by Gao Muming at a distance of 1 meter around him.

Watching Gao Muming killing killer ants with ease, Lily felt for the first time at such close range and intuitively how powerful a truly powerful adventurer is.

As Gao Muming killed people, the expression on Lily's face changed from fear to shock, then to calm, and finally to excitement.

"According to the agreement before we went down to the dungeon, all the dropped items will be split 50-50 in the end. Lily should be able to get a large amount of profit. Lily is one step closer to saving enough money to leave the clan and gain freedom."

After the excitement, Lily fell into silence and began to think in her mind.

"No, Lily must do something, otherwise she will feel bad for giving away such a great benefit for nothing."

Knowing that her abilities were limited, Lily had to focus her attention on the rock wall behind and above Gao Muming and help Gao Muming do some simple guard work.

Just as Lily was looking around on guard, a sound of cracking walls was heard above their heads.

Lily looked in the direction of the sound and saw several monsters crawling out from the wall above Gao Muming's head.

Lily looked at the monster in the wall, then looked at Gao Muming who was busy fighting with the queen ant as if he didn't notice it. She immediately loaded arrows into her crossbow and shot at the monster on the top of the wall.

Gao Muming noticed this and in order to make Lily feel a little more involved, he secretly retracted the transparent barrier that was protecting himself and Lily.

Time passed slowly, and soon Gao Muming once again eliminated all the killer ants that were attracted to the ninth floor.

After the battle, Lily looked at the piles of magic stones and dropped items on the ground and smiled happily. It was only at this time that Lily noticed that when fighting with the killer ants just now, Gao Muming had always stood in one place without moving at all.

After realizing this, Lily couldn't help but scream.

"We just fought for such a long time, but you stood there without moving. Are you really a Level 1 adventurer? Are you pretending to be a Level adventurer, the top adventurer in Orario?"

"What are you thinking about? I hope your guess is right, but unfortunately you are wrong. If I were really a first-level adventurer, I would have been exposed to the public by the bored gods of the guild."

After collecting all the magic stones and props on the ground, Lily followed Gao Muming out of the dungeon with an expression that showed she had learned something new.

Feeling the heavy weight on her back, Lily was thinking with great anticipation about how much Fari she could get in exchange for so many dropped items.

"At this rate, it won't be long before I earn enough fares, and soon I'll be free."

Just as Lily was thinking this, Gao Muming's words hit Lily over the head. Seeing her freedom just before her eyes, Lily, who was a little anxious, quickly grabbed Gao Muming's clothes.

"Why don't you continue going down to the dungeon tomorrow?"

"Why don't you go to the dungeon? Now that I've made money, the first thing I'll do is, of course, find the person based on the clues you provided, and then take you there to make amends."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Lily lowered her head a little embarrassedly.

"Well, the adventurers that Lily chose to steal from were all relatively wealthy, so the fari she earned tonight wasn't enough to pay for the damages."

"I know. I can tell from the magic sword in your arms. Whether you bought the magic sword yourself or stole it, just by looking at the very unattractive price of the magic sword, I can tell that the victims must have suffered a lot of losses."

"So the main purpose of me taking you to the dungeon tonight is to show you that I have the ability to help you make a lot of money."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Lily looked up in surprise and looked at Gao Muming. Then Lily understood what Gao Muming meant.

"Lily knows. Lily will take out the gems stored in the East District Goblin Rental Vault and compensate them."

As Lily said this, her body trembled slightly and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

Seeing that Lily took the initiative to expose her wealth in front of him, Gao Muming's mouth curled up slightly and he felt a little relieved in his heart. He reached out and rubbed Lily's head.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Lily's body, which had been tense after she told her last secret, finally relaxed.

On the way back to the clan with Lily, Gao Muming couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he saw Lily, who had obviously become much happier.

"It's really hard for Lily. After seeing so many dark sides of adventurers, she still took the risk of being robbed by me and took the initiative to tell me her saved property."

Just as Gao Muming was sighing, Lily, who was walking in front of him, was also beating her heart like a drum.

"I said it out. I really said it out. It's incredible. Lily actually said that she had stored a lot of money in East Street."

Thinking of this, Lily secretly turned around to glance at Gao Muming, and after confirming once again that Gao Muming's face did not reveal the kind of malicious and greedy look that was unique to the adventurers who had bullied her before, she nodded secretly.

"Fortunately, Lord Takagi Akira lived up to Lily's trust. He is worthy of being a follower of the gentle god Hestia."
