I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Medusa, what's wrong with you?" Thesis, who had recovered, seemed to think she was in a daze and asked in confusion.

“Nothing.” She smiled and shook her head. “It’s getting late. Let’s go. I can’t wait to have a garbage dump adventure!”

Before meeting Thesis, Medusa would stand at the window every day, staring outside in a daze. She could see the situation at the garbage dump very clearly. When she said she could guarantee Thesis' safety, she was definitely not bragging.

Moreover, in the past few days, Basilisk would go in whenever he had time and would not come out for a long time, and there was no accident. What's more, Tesis also went in to buy treasures every now and then, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Medusa was originally asking him with great interest what he usually picked up to bring back, but her nose was suddenly filled with a pungent odor and she almost fainted on the spot. Fortunately, Thesis was there to help her.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"It's okay... Do you usually have to endure this smell when you come to the garbage dump to pick up things?"

Medusa stood up with difficulty and looked at him with great admiration.

The stench of rotten meat, the pungent fishy smell, the greasy smell and other indescribable smells mixed together, dealing a heavy blow to Medusa mentally and physically.

She had thought that there would be a lot of unpleasant smells in the garbage dump, but she didn't expect it to be like this. She felt that as soon as she came into contact with the air here, her whole body would itch and her skin would ulcerate.

It’s a pity that Thesis comes here every now and then.

He seemed to have anticipated Medusa's reaction and said with a smile: "See, you are really not suitable to stay here."

"It's okay. I just haven't been out for a long time and I'm not used to it for a while." Medusa tried her best to overcome the heavy smell, and her dark blue face finally eased a little.

She used to smell a lighter odor occasionally, and at the time she just thought it was the manure water her parents carried when growing vegetables. Now it seems that it is most likely drifting over from the garbage dump.

No wonder Thesis said he only picked up things from the edge. It was already stinking as soon as he arrived. If he went further in, any living thing would probably be corrupted on the spot.

Normally, Basilisk's sense of smell should be very sensitive, but it seems that because his eyes are too special, the abilities of his other senses are relatively weak. Fortunately, he cannot smell this terrible stench that can take his life.

By concentrating her energy against the enemy, she was able to keep her sense of smell barely alert, but this meant that Medusa could not put what she saw into her brain and her vision became blurry.

It felt like the stench that I had deliberately ignored had all turned into smoke that blocked my eyes. Let alone finding the treasure, it was hard to even see the road clearly under my feet. It was almost impossible to move forward.

Medusa gave up and lay on Thesis's sturdy chest, pounding it softly: "I admit that I underestimated this place."

"Haha, it's okay, I can do it alone." Tethys touched her head gently and said with a smile: "Anyway, I always came here by myself before."

Inspired by him, Medusa felt that she couldn't give up easily.

After all, the purpose of this trip is to spend more time with him. If they can't even take this first step, their common topics will become less and less.

Thinking of this, Medusa regained her spirit and covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, which finally made her feel better.

"And keep poking at it." She gave a thumbs up, signaling to Thesis that she could do it.

But just as she solved the problem of the bad smell, she ran into trouble again.

Medusa had basically never been to such a place and usually never even left the house. When faced with a messy garbage dump, she often didn't know where to start.

It was too embarrassing to ask for help from Thesis as she had just acted like a spoiled child to him, so Medusa mustered up her courage and took a few steps.

Seeing that the action went smoothly, she jumped twice more, but she didn't stand firmly and her whole body fell onto the hard iron pestle next to her.

"Be careful!" Thesis, who had been watching over her carefully, immediately reached out and reached down, actually picking up Medusa with both hands.

"I... I'd better just watch from the side." Medusa shamefully buried her beautiful head in Thesis' arms, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Tethys gently placed her in a relatively clean place nearby and walked in to search skillfully.

During this time, Medusa would occasionally remind Thesis to be careful of gravel or other sharp objects under his feet. With her help, he wouldn't have to exert so much effort with every step, saving a lot of time.

Originally, Medusa thought that even if she was not good at physical work, nothing would go wrong as long as she followed Thesis. However, she didn't expect that the garbage dump was more troublesome than she had imagined, and she would get injured and broken skin if she was not careful.

She couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought about the inexplicable wounds that always appeared on Thesis' body.

No wonder he never wears new clothes and shoes. It turns out that he is afraid that the environment he comes into contact with on a daily basis will damage these precious things to him.

Even if he forced Thesis to wear the clothes, he took great care to preserve them and not to damage them easily. It seemed that he put a lot of thought into it, which made him inefficient in doing other things.

"Thesis, let me accompany you from now on." Medusa looked up and said to him.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

"This is not a request, I just wanted to let you know."

She had long anticipated that Thesis would refuse, and she adopted a calm attitude that would not tolerate any negotiation.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Thesis didn't know what to say and could only ask her to be more careful.

"The pile of scrap metal ahead is prone to collapse, so be careful."

"There are a lot of rusty nails around your feet, be careful not to step on them."

"Go to the right. It's spacious there."

With Medusa watching beside him, Thesis felt much more relaxed. He no longer had to pay attention to his feet as before, and he could also keep his clothes clean.

In addition, Basilisk always likes to shuttle around and clear out all the snakes, insects, rats and ants nearby, further reducing the danger.

Thesis was rummaging through the garbage dump excitedly. If you didn't know him, you would think he was looking for some rare treasure. It was obvious that the arrival of Medusa and Basilisk provided a lot of convenience.

Medusa was originally afraid of causing trouble for him and felt that she should not have come, but seeing Thesis so happy, she couldn't help feeling satisfied.

In the days that followed, she was always very busy.

When Tethys was not around, she was busy embroidering clothes and watering the flowers, always thinking of him in her heart, and even these repetitive and boring things that happened every day seemed to be full of fun.

As Thesis's searching efficiency increased, he not only saved time, but also found a lot of good things.

Although Medusa thought they were just ordinary garbage, Thesis said that as long as his brother transformed them, these broken things would look brand new.

Medusa didn't believe it at first, until she saw with her own eyes that Thales took back a tattered little wooden box, and the next day it turned into a beautiful gift box. Only then did she have to sigh that Thales was really good.

When Thesis took it, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, no matter how good this thing was, it was still a modified piece of garbage. It would be a bit unfair for him to give it directly to Medusa.

Unexpectedly, she liked this thing so much as soon as she saw it. She acted coquettishly and begged Tesis to give her this exquisite little thing. She didn't care at all even though she knew it was modified from garbage. She even sighed that her brother's craftsmanship was amazing.

Seeing her so happy, Tethys couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart.

That afternoon, they were searching for treasure in the garbage mountain as usual, when they suddenly heard the loud noise of rapidly rolling wheels and neighing horses in the distance, and finally there was a loud bang, as if something was smashed to pieces.

Before the two could figure out what was happening, the pile of scrap metal next to Medusa began to shake violently and completely fell apart, sending rusty steel bars and iron sheets flying in all directions.

Seeing that Medusa was about to be smashed to pieces because she could not avoid it in time, Thesis suddenly rushed over and hugged her tightly. A thick wall of sand rose at their feet, blocking all the flying heavy iron pieces.

Medusa was so frightened that it took her a while to come to her senses. She realized that she was too close to Thesis and couldn't help but crave the warmth in his arms, but she had to separate because she was too shy.

Unexpectedly, Tessis hugged me even tighter and almost blurted out, "I like you."
