Chapter 101 - Too Much Excitement

The entrance in front of her it's a medium-size hole cover with tree roots, she lit up the torch again she shift the root to the side, the air is damped and cold she can sniff muddy and earthy smelled around her, the ground is wet and slippery thankfully because she wears special boots she can walk easily in a wet surface.

[It's so damp in here, there should be water stream around here" Lory wipe water from her eyes.

[It's still far below…] said Girsha.

[Good, wherever you lost, you must follow the water stream]

[Do you smell anything…] Girsha sniffed his beak.

Lory unconsciously sniffed too [Yeah, I smell something too...]

[It's not good, It's like...…feces…?] Girsha not sure.

[Really? It's like rotten meat for me] Lory twitches her nose, the smelled suddenly become awful.

Lory hears sounds above her head, her reflexes are raised the torch above her head and what she sees give him chilled to the bone, on the ceiling hundreds of cocoon hanging on the ceiling

[What the....] Lory shocked.

One of the cocoon shaking tremendously then suddenly it's fall in front of her feet, Lory take a step back but her eyes stare at the falling cocoon in front of her, the cocoon slowly split a green liquid flow from inside then a creature emerged from inside it, a fat worm with protrude mouth cover with small sharp teeth, it got one big eye on the center.

[What an ugly creature!] Girsha awed and disgusted at the same time.

As if the creature understand girsha mockery he jumps at Lory, she surprised something so fat can jump so high, she pulls the dagger from her left arms and stabs the creature right on its body, the blood spilled from the creature is even more awful then the green liquid inside the cocoon.

[YUCK!] Lory hold herself no to vomit, she swings the dagger to rid the remaining blood on her pristine dagger.

[Lory….] Girsha wing nudged her cheek.

[What?] Lory still bother with the stained on her beautiful dagger.

[I Think its Mom is angry…] he said quietly.

[What Mom?] Lory frowned, then he feels big shadow hover above her, she slowly looks up and there it is, a same creature like the worm she killed but in giant size, the creature sees his offspring killed while Lory holds the dagger stained with the small creature blood the eye on the creature head become wider.

Lory quiver [Holy Shit!]

[RUUUNSS!!] Girsha shouted.

Lory awaked from his stupor she run like hell while the giant worm shriek in anger chasing her, her heart racing she feel her leg is not fast enough, why she must run into the ugly worm nest, she really wanted to blame someone and where the hell is her OP boyfriend when she needed him the most?

she looks behind her the giant warmed open its mouth baring a line sharp teeth down to its throat, what a disgusting and scary creature, she doesn't want to be killed by something so ugly, the creature pounced on her, luckily she got god reflex she jumps then somersault upfront, the creature miss her a second end up hitting the ground with loud 'BANG'

then she pulls out a bamboo tube from inside her rings she stuffs the tub with a rag then she lit the rag, without looking back she throws the tube behind her and instantly something explodes, the giant creature shriek louder but not dare to cross the fire.

[Nice one Lory!] Girsha praise her.

[Yeah, but it won't hold that thing for long!] Lory hastes her pace, just like Lory said after the fire subsides the worm chasing her again and this time even more aggressive than before.

[Lory it's a cliff at the front!] Girsha warned her.

Her option is to jump to the cliff become minced meat or eating by a disgusting giant worm, well…minced meat it is….

Fortunately, she sees a range hanging root from the ceiling, Lory feels she just got amnesty she accelerates her runs she leaped with all her strength while the worm opens it jaw ready to swallow her whole, she can smell disgusting smelled coming from the creature breath she can feels the creature mouth is so damn close to swallowing her.

Lory grab the root tightly the root swing on a half-circle, the creature miss her again the creature barely can stop itself on the end of the cliff because the creature massive weight the ground can't hold its weight then the ground suddenly crumbles and the creature fall in a deep abys leaving only a long shriek.

Lory panting while hanging on a tree root, she saw the giant worm fall down she still shock with disbelieved, she actually managed to survive, or does she?

[Lory the root can hold you too long!!] Girsha shouted.

[CRAP!!] she cursed, the root jolted and Lory hastily jumps to another root but the root also not that strong to withstand her weight, she grabs another root and jumps to another root just like Tarzan, only Tarzan didn't look freak out as her and cursed every time she jumps.

She painstakingly reaches the end of the cliff, she groans tiredly while forcing her self to climb up.

[That's was too close for comfort] Lory lay on the ground while panting heavily.

[seriously, you need to lose some weight…] Girsha also lay beside feel worn out.

[...….] she too tired to refute.

Lory sit on the ground, this too much excitement drained her, just a few hours she almost died at least five times she would run out of luck sooner or later, she takes out waterskin from inside her spatial ring, she gulps down amount of water the freshwater reminds her how thirsty she is after she finished drinking she takes out meat bun and grapes fruit for Girsha, both of them munching their food without bother to talk.

After she finishes eating she looks around the place she found a secluded place on the corner who is cover by big stones above it, This place is a good place for camping, she did not dare to make fire just in case it's would attract whatever beast who saw it.

She covers herself with cloak then she leans on the wall she released a long exhale she wonders what Zhao Li Xin does right now, does he worry about her? A few minutes later she dozes off meanwhile Girsha watching over her.

____________________________________________________

Meanwhile Zhao Li Xin is in his wits end, every minute he can't find her the anxious he becomes, he killed every beast who appear in front of him without hesitation he fry them to the bones everywhere they go they can smelled burning flesh and feel extreme hot air, the cave who supposed to be cold it feels like sauna for Bei Li Yan and the others.

Deep down they all pray for the Young Madam to returned immediately before they boiled to death by their Lord

'Young Madam where are you, we feel like a steamed bun in here!!'

_________________________________________________________________________

Lory suddenly awoke, her eyes blink a few times she thought someone calling her, it's probably just a dream so she brushes it off.

After a few hours of sleep she feels a lot better, she drinks again and filled her stomach with a bento box.

[Where should we go from here?] Girsha asked.

[I don't know, I need to find Zhao Li Xin first] she said while chewing her food.

[Yeah, this place is too dangerous without your boyfriend and his crew]

Lory didn't bother how weird using that terms in this world but, oh well….

[Yes, we just lucky so far if it's going like this I won't make it to pick up that brat] Lory wiped her mouth, she wishes that brat asking her to pick her up somewhere more safe, like tea house or something just like normal people should, but that's brat is not normal.

Lory put away everything back to her spatial ring, then she does some stretching as people do before heavy work out then she pours herself with the same powder Zhao Li Xin gave her to concealed her body odor so the beast wouldn't notice her, then she takes out a few more arrow and cover it with poison, after she finishes her preparation she tide her hair tighter and fixed her clothes.

She takes a deep breath before she said to Girsha

[Let's go!]
