Women Are Not A Good Thing

Z Brother and Silica have arrived at the place where the Luminous Egg Flower grows as they stood in front of it.

Zack said, "Let me and Second Brother pick Luminous Egg Flowers, Third Brother and Silica keep an eye on Luminous Lion!"

He did not wait for them to agree with his orders, he and Second Brother squatted before the Luminous Egg Flower.

"Be careful not to touch its stalk, it's poisonous!"

"I know, I know," Zaky annoyedly replied.

Silica remained silent on the spot, her eyes fixed on Luminous Egg Flower in front of her. Her heartfelt is happy that she could finally rank up to E-Rank Mage.

Thinking of becoming an E-Rank Mage, she was really looked forward to it and started planning the next step after she ranked up.

She was obviously didn't listen to what Zack has been instructed to her as she originally doesn't like being ordered around by someone inferior to her. She will become their leader sooner or later anyway, so might as well just act like she's a boss who is waiting for her minions to harvest their loot.

On the contrary, Zeke obediently did what his First Brother told him to do. In his mind, his First Brother is always right, and so he should listen to every word of him and did whatever he told to him. Anyway, he is aware of himself that he is stupid and needed his brothers to guide him properly.

He keeps an eye on Luminous Lion fixedly as later he didn't find any movement from it.

But suddenly Zeke saw a stone flying upward and fell on Luminous Lion's body, the scene is too fast that he can't catch up with what the hell happened and where is that stone comes from. Although he is stupid, he can tell what will happen after that stone landed on Luminous Lion's body.

Even though the stone is merely small, it's enough to give an alarm for Luminous Lion.

Zeke hesitantly asks his brother, "Second Brother, are you done?"

Zaky gave a casual replied, "Not yet"

For the first time in the entire day, Zeke revealed an urgent tone, "First Brother, Second Brother, you have to hurry!"

This time it was Silica who answered with a look of annoyance in the deep of her eyes yet she still reveals her gentle side on the surface, "What's wrong, the Third Brother? Your brothers must be careful when dealing with this type of flower. They must smear their hands with the antidote in case they accidentally touch stalk, so, it's natural that the process takes some time"

Zeke hesitantly looked at the three of them as he turned his head back at Luminous Lion's side, his mouth revealed an '0' shape as he didn't know how to describe this current situation, "What if that whatever monster wake up?"

Silica chuckled instead, "Brother Zeke mean Luminous Lion? what is Brother Zeke afraid of? with the three of you, an E-Rank Mages here what could that monster do? even you all don't match for it, we still have a chance to run away with Luminous Egg Flowers in our hands besides, I already active Luck Blessing ever we entered this place"

Zack rebuked her slightly, "Don't talk nonsense, although the three of us are E-Rank Mages, we still no match for Luminous Lion as its strength almost comparable with D-Rank Mage. Even though we still have a chance to fight against it, it best if we avoid the unnecessary fight with it!"

"You too, Third Brother, keep an eye on that monster and don't talk too much, in case the monster will wake up if it heard our conversation ..."

Zeke, "But it's awake"

huh?

Zack, "..."

Zaky, "..."

Silica, "..."

The three of them froze for a moment after hearing Zeke's declaration as they turned their head toward Luminous Lion who is its eyes stubbornly lock on them.

They looked at it incredulously and they have the same thought at their minds, 'How is it possible?!'

On their side, they have activated Luck Blessed, alas luck is still not on their side. Zack couldn't help to ask the unreliable woman who still in a state of stunned silly, "You activated Luck Blessing?"

Silica anxiously defend herself, "I did it, this... is just a small mistake"

Zack furious, "A small mistake? this is what you called a small mistake?"

Amid her trepidation, Silica unconsciously raised her tone toward Zeke, "Brother Zeke it's your fault, if only you remind us earlier, the thing wouldn't turn this way"

Not only was Zack stunned, even Zaky who always sided with Silica was also stunned. The thing would be fine if she only apologized sincerely but instead, she put blame on their youngest brother. How could Zack not furious.

Zeke was nervous after being accused, he thought, this was his mistake. Not only he failed the task but he also jeopardized the safety of the team. Blame him for being stupid...

"I..."

"Shut up! you have the nerve to blame our Third Brother, why didn't you ask yourself! what did you do when I ask you to put an eye on that monster. Don't think I didn't pay attention to your behavior in the whole time, you acted like a boss and regard us as your lackeys. Just because you have Luck Blessing that doesn't mean you're a Queen. Now that your trump card won't work, what are you gonna do?"

Silica dumbfounded after fiercely chided like that, this is the first time in her entire life she received this harsh treatment. She was embarrassed and wronged at the same time, is this her fault?

Zaky smiled awkwardly, "First Brother, now it's no to time to blame each other, we should make a move"

Zack snorted, "Humph, what makes a move, Luminous Lion already in front of us, did you think we can run away?"

"Prepared for battle! I and Second Brother will interrupt Luminous Lion, Third Brother try to open the path and bring that woman out of here, she will hinder us!"

Zaky and Zeke nodded while Silica still being a weeping woman behind them.

The moment Z Brothers and Luminous Lion starts to fight, Lilia watching on the other side, a pity she didn't have popcorn here, otherwise this will be more enjoyable here bah... she can't forget about her goal.

As the fight dragging into further and further, they're unaware that actually, it gives a small theft a chance to steal the treasure away.

Lilia tried to reduce her presence as much as possible and hurriedly squat down in front of Luminous Egg Flowers. Although she doesn't have an antidote like the group, she has already learned a lesson from the previous host, as long as she accurately spots on its receptacle, she will not be infected by the poisonous microorganisms on its stalk.

She cut the first Luminous Egg Flower scrupulously and did it with the same treatment on the other four.

Upon finishing her task, she stored it in her cosmos ring. She smirked, "Want to stole my quest? why don't you ask it's protector first and I will steal it for you"

Lilia was happy finally her E-Rank quest is completed, although she uses an unscrupulous mean, she doesn't give a damn, she is not a person who easily succumbs, to begin with.

This is a competition of who will complete the quest first.

Since she was in the dark, she was in an advantageous position whereas, the group was at a disadvantage one because they still did not know who their enemy was, they don't even aware that they have schemed by.

...

Meantime, Zeke had brought Silica out of the cave, he was about to go back inside to help his two brothers fight that whatever monster.

However, just when he was about to go inside, he saw the figure of a woman who swiftly came out of the cave, her movements were so suspicious as if she was wary about something.

Even for Zeke who has a slow brain, he slowly enlightened what actually happened here and who was the culprit behind this mess...

He gritted his teeth, for the first time in his entire life he feels so frustrated, "Women are not a good thing!"
