"..."
Seeing Keli's excited expression, Jiang Mu and the others looked at her speechlessly.
"Look, my treasure is so big, it was buried right here before..."
As she spoke, Keli pointed to the small grave mound next to her... cough cough, no, it was a small drum, and looked at Jiang Mu and the other two with a wronged expression.
Jiang Mu and the other two were at a loss for words...
"A hole has been dug out..."
After a long while, Paimon spoke first, looking at Klee and echoing her.
"Wait, what's that over there..."
Suddenly, Ying's eyes caught sight of a red figure not far away, and she cried out in surprise.
"It's an Abyss Mage!"
Paimon hid directly behind Luminous, looking at the Abyss Mage floating in mid-air not far away, and said with some surprise.
"Why...why would such a monster appear here?"
"No, what is it holding in its hand..."
Suddenly, Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, while Klee, who was not far away, screamed in surprise.
"Ah! It's my treasure!"
"Tch, that girl actually brought helpers, the plan has changed..."
Seeing the group, especially after their gazes lingered on Ying for a few seconds, the abyss mage simply snorted. Without another word, he turned and swiftly departed…
"Hey, don't run away if you dare!"
Paimon called out urgently, while Ying glanced at Jiang Mu and said.
"Let's give chase!"
Jiang Mu nodded as well.
………………
"Why haven't I seen this guy in the forest before...?"
As he ran, Paimon muttered to himself in confusion.
"Hmm..."
While busy keeping up with Jiang Mu and the others, Klee looked at the Abyss Mage flying ahead, her big eyes shining, and murmured to herself.
"It looks...pretty cute, and I imagine it would feel nice to touch, all fluffy and soft..."
"Hey, Klee, isn't there something wrong with your focus?"
Paimon complained.
Finally, after chasing for a long time, the abyss mage stopped as if trying to find its way. The others took the opportunity to block its path, and Paimon spoke up.
"Hand over the treasure now!"
Upon hearing this, Ying and Jiang Mu couldn't help but chuckle, but they didn't say anything and just quietly watched Paimon's performance, while Little Klee's eyes lit up and she exclaimed in amazement.
Wow! Paimon is amazing!
"call……"
The abyss mage seemed to be out of breath, looking at the group and saying breathlessly.
"Ugh, so annoying... I finally got it... how could I possibly give it back to you... Humph!"
As he spoke, the Abyss Mage waved his staff lightly, and then more than ten fire-attribute slimes appeared around them and launched an attack.
"Let's go!"
Since Klee possesses a Pyro Vision and uses a Catalyst weapon, Jiang Mu simply pulled her behind him. Immediately afterward, a pure water elemental force appeared in his hand, transforming into a long sword, which he held diagonally beside him.
"Klee, take care of yourself."
With that, Jiang Mu charged straight toward the group of fire slimes.
"Seriously, wasn't that a bit too reckless..."
After muttering something, Ying charged directly towards the group of slimes, her wind elemental power surging wildly as she shielded Jiang Mu's back.
Wow! My older brother and sister are so awesome!
Klee jumped up excitedly, clapping her hands continuously.
How could that group of slimes, big and small, be a match for the two of them? Soon, Jiang Mu and his companion wiped them all out. When they turned around, they were surprised to find Paimon lecturing Klee with a serious expression.
"Little Klee, you mustn't be fooled! The Abyss Mage is a bad guy!"
"Ah...yes..." Klee nodded, seemingly confused, in response.
"The troupe leader told me that stealing is wrong..."
………………
After chasing for a while longer, the abyss mage seemed to think they couldn't catch up and stopped again, panting in place. However, when Ying, Paimon, and Jiang Mu caught up with him again, he was completely stunned once more...
"stop!"
Paimon once again stood in front of it, looking quite smug.
"Huff...huff..." the Abyss Mage said defiantly, panting heavily.
"If you're not here, and it's just that little girl alone..."
"snort!"
As the Abyss Mage snorted, another group of slimes emerged, this time with lightning attributes.
"Klee, go!"
This time, Jiang Mu directly pulled Ke Li out, and Ke Li, upon hearing that it was her turn, immediately perked up, and then...
"We can blow them all up!"
In the blink of an eye, all the Rei Slimes vanished without a trace.
"No...no way..."
Both Ying and Paimon stared wide-eyed at the smug little girl.
"How could this be..."
"You must not underestimate this little girl."
Seeing their surprised expressions, Jiang Mu smiled and said to them.
"How could her strength be too weak, given that she is a formally recognized knight with a title in the Knights of Favonius?"
"Okay... alright..."
Upon hearing this, Ying subconsciously swallowed, and then, as if remembering something, her gaze towards Jiang Mu became even more uncertain and doubtful.
"Wait, I remember... Klee just used a bomb, right...?"
"So they finally found it..."
With a smile, Jiang Mu looked at the Abyss Mage not far away.
"Now, let's just hope Klee's bomb doesn't explode prematurely..."
………………
Excitedly, Ke Li returned to Jiang Mu and the other two. She looked up at Jiang Mu, gave him a military salute, and said with a grin.
"Reporting to Brother Jiang Mu, Ke Li has successfully eliminated the enemy. Please give further instructions!"
"Well done!"
Gently patting Keli's head, Jiang Mu thought for a moment, then took out a large lollipop from his system space and handed it to Keli, saying...
"Come on, Klee, have your brother's lollipop."
"Yay!"
Klee took it and held it in front of her face, sticking out her little tongue and licking it little by little.
"this……"
Looking at Klee and the lollipop in her hand, Ying subconsciously swallowed.
Girls naturally have a natural affinity for sweets, and to reward Klee, Jiang Mu even had the system print the shape of a bouncy bomb on the lollipop.
Of course, it uses edible, non-toxic pigments that are harmless to the human body.
