"Ah~ I can't find the entrance again. When will I be able to get out of this place?" Iris sighed and looked up to the sky, with a dejected expression on her face.
Her sigh scared away the nearby monsters, as they scattered in all directions, afraid of angering Iris, the two-legged beast.
In the Abyss, weaker monsters would gather in groups for warmth and survival, while the stronger ones would live alone, having their own territories. The news of the two-legged beast killing the lake python had spread in the monster community, so anyone who dared to provoke Iris was simply seeking death.
Iris had been searching for the entrance for over half a month now, but still had no results.
During this period, whenever Iris fell asleep, the Dream-Eater Eagle would appear in her dreams. And Iris would retaliate by giving the Dream-Eater Eagle a heavy beating and pulling its feathers, while launching a verbal attack.
Iris's words were extremely vulgar, like that of a crude and savage countrywoman. She didn't know why, but the more she cursed, the more addicted she became, and the more passionate she got.
Most importantly, the Dream-Eater Eagle kept claiming to be her mother, which was completely absurd.
So every time the Dream-Eater Eagle would be fiercely beaten by Iris, without any mercy. Since it was just a dream, Iris behaved arrogantly and freely, doing as she pleased.
"I wonder if the Dream-Eater Eagle will come during my rest today. It would be a good opportunity for me to vent my anger," Iris began to fantasize.
...
During this half a month, Iris had made Ling Guang extremely angry.
"This wicked girl! Not only did she pull out my feathers, but her mouth is so venomous! And the more she curses, the more she gets into it. The most important thing is that I can't fight back in the dream, she's completely bullying me!" The more Ling Guang thought about it, the more angry he became. He wished he could drag Iris out and give her a good lesson to vent his anger.
"This brat! I must educate her properly, otherwise she'll really ride roughshod over me!" Ling Guang gritted his teeth.
"Calm down, Ling Guang. She's just a little kid who doesn't know any better. Why bother being angry with her?" Jian Bing looked at Ling Guang's angry expression and comforted him.
"What do you know? She's my child, and I can discipline her however I want," Ling Guang said angrily.
"Okay, fine. I won't interfere with that," Jian Bing shrugged helplessly and said, "A few days later, Meng Zhang and I will go and open the passage to the Abyss. Don't let the kid run around."
Ling Guang waved his hand impatiently, saying, "I got it."
Seeing Ling Guang's appearance, Jian Bing couldn't help shaking his head. This poor little guy was really pitiful. He probably would miss the days spent in the Abyss.
Jian Bing flicked his sleeve and left.
...
"Help! Someone save me!" Iris didn't notice the ground beneath her feet and accidentally fell into a passage.
"Ouch~ Ouch~" Iris fell face-first into the ground, in pain as she grimaced and screamed.
"My poor butt." Iris covered her backside and wailed, "Who is so wicked to dig such a deep hole? Did they completely lose their manners?" Rubbing her sore bottom, she felt extremely annoyed. She was going to kill that bastard when she got out.
Slowly standing up, she dusted off the dirt from her pants and looked around. She found herself trapped in a giant tunnel, surrounded by pitch-black darkness where she couldn't see her own hand in front of her face.
At that moment, the sound of monsters howling came from above, sounding as if they were very happy, as if they had encountered something good.
A monkey-like monster blocked the entrance with a big stone when it saw Iris trapped inside.
The monkey-like monster let out a piercing scream, seemingly informing its companion that the two-legged beast had been locked inside.
A series of roars swept through the entire Abyss, indicating that those monsters had killed two-legged beasts even stronger than the white python.
"This... seems to be the entrance mentioned in the diary, but I can't see the surroundings clearly in the darkness..." Iris muttered to herself.
Iris shook her left hand, and a white flame ignited, illuminating her surroundings. "The diary clearly states that a spider with a human face will appear soon."
Iris cautiously moved forward, not daring to be the slightest bit careless, not even making a sound when she walked.
After a moment, a fist-sized spider silently crawled up behind Iris on a spider silk.
The white flame from Iris's left hand burst out uncontrollably again, transforming into a giant white flame lion, swatting the small spider away with one paw.
Upon seeing this, Iris was surprised and murmured to herself, "Bai Yan is so vigilant." She turned to look at the spider, only to find that it had already turned to ashes.
The white flame lion did not return to her left hand. It stood in front of Iris and let out a low and majestic roar.
Countless green pupils appeared, surrounding Iris, giving off an eerie atmosphere.
Iris felt the strong aura of danger around her, and her heart started pounding uncontrollably. She took out the pale blue sword from her storage space.
The white flame in her left hand rose again, turning into a giant white flame bird shadow, protecting Iris by her side.
With the roar of the white flame lion, the green pupils became denser, as if they were endless.
The spiders rushed towards Iris like a tide, densely packed and overwhelming.
Iris remained calm and inserted the sword in her hand into the ground. In an instant, flames splashed, and the fire spread out like waves, instantly devouring countless spiders.
Just as she finished killing one wave, another wave came. Both in quantity and quality, they were much stronger than the first wave.
"Geez, they keep coming! Have they never died before?" Iris couldn't help but curse as she saw the spiders charging towards her again.
The white flame lion let out a low growl, and then spat out a huge fireball.
The fireball drew a beautiful arc in the air and instantly hit a group of small spiders' heads.
With a loud bang, the fireball exploded and countless small spiders were blasted into pieces.
Spiders would also fall on Iris from above, but the white flame bird shadow would burn them all to ashes in the next second.
"The spiders have human faces on their lower bodies. They're really disgusting, and most importantly, their faces are so ugly. They must have been grown by eating shit." Iris kept cursing.
Since no one was there to discipline her, Iris let herself go and cursed as she pleased. Her words were vicious, far from being like a princess. They were more like a scolding shrew.
"Boom!" There was another loud explosion, and countless spiders were blown to pieces.
Iris didn't know how long she had been killing, but her hand was starting to ache from wielding the sword for so long. She still cursed relentlessly. Her voice became hoarse, showing signs of weariness.
It seemed like the number of spiders would never run out, wave after wave continued to surge up.
The white flame lion was not a monster; it was a creature formed by flames and never tired. With a swipe of its paw, it instantly killed hundreds of spiders.
After a while, Iris saw a larger spider, the spider king.
This spider king was over four meters tall, with a pair of shiny green eyes fixed on Iris, like a fierce devil wanting to devour her alive.
Iris stepped forward, wielding her long sword and charging at the spider king.
"Swish~" The sword slashed through the air, leaving behind a beautiful arc and aiming towards the spider king's head.
"clang~" The spider king's head emitted a red light, blocking Iris' sword strike with force.
The sword blade collided with the spider king's head, producing a muffled sound. The spider king remained motionless, but Iris' right arm was numbed by the impact.
Iris could feel that her body was nearing its limit. If she continued to fight like this, she would be defeated in less than a minute. She quickly stopped her attack and retreated.
Iris's action surprised the white flame lion, seemingly unexpected that Iris chose to retreat.
It stood there stunned for a moment, then let out a roar, leaping towards the spider king.
As the white flame lion was formed by white flames, its temperature was absolutely high.
"Boom~" came a muffled sound.
The spider king was slapped away by the searing hot white flame lion, its body slamming heavily into the ground, creating a deep crater.
The spider king kept rolling in the pit, trying to extinguish the white flame on its body, but the flames were too hot for it to extinguish. The white flame lion ran over and pressed its paw against the spider king's head. Clumps of white flames continuously erupted, burning the spider king to death.
The white flame lion did not stop, continuing until the spider king turned into a pile of powder, then returned to Iris' side.
"Phew~ So tired~" Iris collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, wiping the sweat off her forehead.
The White Flame Lion did not retract the white flames in its left hand and lay quietly beside Iris. Iris understood, leaning on the White Flame Lion and falling asleep.
The back of the White Flame Lion was warm and comfortable, quickly sending Iris into a deep slumber.
"Whoosh!" At that moment, several spiders rushed out, their speed astonishingly fast. In the blink of an eye, they were by Iris's side, ready to bite.
The white flame bird illusion on Iris's body flickered, forming a thin film in front of her, protecting her. The spiders were instantly incinerated.
In her dream, Iris encountered the woman in red again. Before the woman could speak, Iris cursed, "Stupid bird, can't you give it a rest? We have no relation whatsoever, why do you keep bothering me?"
"No relation? You have the audacity to say that while using my Zi Yan. You want to distance yourself from me," the woman in red said, crossing her arms and coldly snorting.
"What's yours is yours, huh? You're just jealous of me," Iris shot back.
Before another word could be said, Iris landed a slap on the woman in red's face.
Then, she began to incessantly rant, "What's yours? Do you want me to acknowledge you as my mother or something? Why don't you just go to hell? Shameless."
"You! How dare you insult me? And dare to hit me?"
"So what if I insult you? So what if I hit you? Don't agree? Come on, hit me," Iris extended her hand, showing a provocative stance, truly going to the extreme.
The woman in red was so furious that her face turned red. She raised her hand and slapped towards Iris.
Iris was well-prepared and swiftly dodged the strike, followed by an elbow strike towards the woman in red's abdomen.
After being hit, the woman in red staggered and fell to the ground before disappearing.
A faint smile appeared on Iris's lips, as if she could feel the pleasure of bullying in her dream.
