Yuna happily collected crystal cores, murmuring to herself, "Look at all these, they're like money! It's such a waste not to pick them up after putting in the effort to kill the monsters!"
"I was in a hurry to save you earlier, I didn't have time to collect crystal cores," Lin Feng replied without any politeness as he tapped Yuna's head.
When he saw her suddenly disappear while running, his heart hung in suspense.
He quickly drew a circle on the ground for Rosa Linda and Emily, then hurriedly went to find Yuna.
"Fine, I won't nag you anymore. Anyway, I know you'll get annoyed if I say too much," Yuna reluctantly poured all the collected crystal cores into Lin Feng's bag, her eyes filled with reluctance.
At that moment, Lin Feng noticed that Yuna also had a small pouch tied around her waist.
He took a look and found that it was filled with many crystal cores as well.
"Why didn't you give me this bag too?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Yuna took the pouch back.
"No, no, no. These crystal cores are what I've saved up for myself. I'm keeping them for personal use, I can't give them to you," Yuna blinked her eyes and revealed a meaningful smile.
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized.
Wasn't this her secret stash of money?
"Are you... saving money?"
Yuna nodded and openly admitted, "Yes!"
With their relationship, she could just ask for whatever she wanted, and Lin Feng would buy it for her.
Why bother saving money so diligently?
It was a complete lack of trust in her husband, utterly unforgivable.
He would have to punish her when they got back...
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Yuna from head to toe. "What do you plan to do with this money?"
"It's a secret, I can't tell you."
???
This was turning into a reversal!
Seeing his beast-eared wife harboring unknown thoughts, Lin Feng felt a mix of emotions.
The old Yuna wouldn't have been like this. If he asked her something, she would have honestly answered.
But now, she was teasing him and keeping him in suspense.
Yuna patted her chest and said with excitement, "But don't worry, Master. I won't squander the money."
This person could only be described as stingy.
Even if the equipment was worn-out, she wouldn't be willing to replace it.
Squandering money? It was simply impossible.
"I'm not worried about you wasting money, it's just..."
"Just what?" Yuna bent down and picked up another crystal core, glancing at Lin Feng.
Words failed Lin Feng at the tip of his tongue.
When he watched his wife gradually grow up, he felt an indescribable feeling.
This feeling was filled with joy and happiness, but also accompanied by some unease and helplessness.
He felt that Yuna was no longer the naive orc she used to be, she was gradually becoming independent and beginning to face her own life and decisions.
It made him both relieved and somewhat sad.
"What's wrong? Master, your gaze suddenly became strange."
"It's just that I feel like a father watching his daughter grow up." Lin Feng took hold of her wolf tail and gently swayed it from side to side.
Yuna was momentarily stunned.
Wasn't she supposed to be a bodyguard and a wife?
Although it was a strange way to describe it, she didn't delve into it.
"Master, we've collected all the crystal cores. Let's figure out a way to get out of here," Yuna suggested.
Lin Feng led her back to the room.
Based on his experience, he groped along the stone wall for a while and found the concealed switch on the wall.
Gently pushing it down, a narrow passage appeared in front of him.
Yuna poked her head in and observed for a while before tiptoeing inside.
"Could there be a treasure in this maze?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
"If we're lucky, it's not impossible. Few people enter this trap-filled maze, and it seems like no one has passed through the obstacles yet."
The room where the giant crocodile was just now was very clean.
There were no human skeletons in sight.
In theory, adventurers of average strength would be instantly defeated by a small boss like that.
Unless it was a seasoned team of adventurers, it would be extremely difficult to kill it.
If someone had been here, they should have left some traces.
Upon hearing this, Yuna's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lin Feng's hand, muttering to herself, "If we find it, you get seven shares, and I get three..."
Seeing her foolish and cute appearance, Lin Feng couldn't help but tease her a bit.
"A little beast-eared girl wants three shares? Wishful thinking!"
Yuna pouted and complained, "Then... then I'll settle for two shares."
"According to reason, I saved your life, so at most, I can only give you some soup to drink, one share tops."
"Even a small fly is meat, one share is enough!"
Yuna's tearless expression was somewhat adorable.
Lin Feng crossed his arms and said with a smile, "But... if you perform well later on, I might consider giving you a little more reward."
"In what aspect, for example?"
"If you encounter a monster like the one we just fought, I hope you can try to kill it."
After all, it's all about experience.
Hunting monsters that are higher level than you can yield rich experience rewards.
"Now that I'm by your side, you can go all out without worry." Lin Feng hugged Yuna from behind and sniffed her wolf ears.
"But... aren't Emily and the others still outside? If we stay in here for too long, won't they worry? And there should be dangers around here too..."
"Don't worry, although Emily is naive, Rosa Linda is smart. With her there, nothing will go wrong."
Yuna hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Since Lin Feng said so, she couldn't really refuse.
After the battle with the giant crocodile just now, she was a bit timid, afraid that she would lose her life with a single misstep.
Now that Lin Feng was behind her, she wanted to fight with this kind of monster without any worries.
After walking for a while, the two arrived at the end.
This time, before Lin Feng could reach out to explore the switch, the stone wall automatically opened to the sides.
The interior still resembled an arena, but the only difference from the previous room was that a blue crystal was hanging from the ceiling by an iron chain.
Once the two entered, the stone door closed as expected.
"Master, look at this beautiful crystal. You can't blame me for it."
Lin Feng glanced at it.
It was indeed beautiful, but the creatures inside looked quite ferocious.
Appraisal.
[Sealed Crimson Dragon, Level 35]
A dragon?
This thing was no pushover.
No matter what it was, once it had the word "dragon" attached to it, it instantly became more awe-inspiring.
"Be careful later, this guy is even harder to deal with than the giant crocodile just now, and who knows, it might even fly."
"Fly?"
Yuna shuddered.
Wasn't this a nightmare for her?
Before she could even complain, the suspended blue crystal gradually dissolved, and the transparent liquid flowed down to the stone platform.
After a while, the crystal detached from the chain and fell heavily onto the stone platform.
The Crimson Dragon opened its golden eyes, like a king looking down from above, surveying its surroundings.
It wanted to see what kind of thing had disturbed its beauty sleep.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar echoed through the labyrinth as the Crimson Dragon spread its massive wings, soaring into the sky, looking down upon the two with arrogance.
