The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 207 Discovery of Black Hole

Hua Chao walked around the stone pillar and shone the torch in his hand towards the place that had been unable to illuminate just now.

Glancing around the stone pillar, I suddenly discovered that there was an area near the base of the pillar that seemed completely beyond the reach of the firelight.

Hua Chao thought that it was a problem with the direction of the torch. The other stone pillars around blocked the light and could not illuminate that area.

So he moved his feet and turned the torch to illuminate that area to see what it was.

Ling Mi beside him asked softly.

"Where is that place, sister?"

"You also discovered it. I don't know what happened. Is it because the stone pillar next to it blocked its light?"

Ling Mi pressed close to Hua Chao, and the two of them, using the light of the torch in their hands, carefully imagined that dark place.

But as the torch in his hand turned, that area remained dark.

It was as if the light in one's hand was absorbed into there and could not illuminate anything at all.

"Sister, you might as well get closer, there must be something there."

"okay……"

Hua Zhao stood on tiptoe and raised the torch in his hand higher, wanting to see more clearly.

"Sister, I'll support you..."

Ling Mi reached out to support Hua Chao, who was staggering a little, and asked her to raise the torch in her hand as high as possible.

"A little higher, a little higher, sister..."

The torch that Hua Chao held high still couldn't illuminate that dark area.

"Ling Mi, there might be a cave there, so the light can't illuminate it. But why is the entrance to the cave at the top? Could it be that it leads to the outside world?"

"But it's so high. How can we get up there? We don't have any spiritual power at all. How can a mortal body reach such a high place?"

Hua Chao stared at the dark area, wondering how to get up there.

Suddenly, a bright and crystal light flickered in that place.

It was just a fleeting moment, but it didn't escape Hua Chao's eyes.

"Sister, did you see it? There was a bright spot just now. Suddenly it flashed in that dark place. What was that?"

Hua Chao didn't even turn his head, still staring at the strange place.

"You saw it too, so it's not my fault. Could it be that there is something there, or is there a living creature in there?"

"Sister, please stop scaring me. There aren't spiders in those places, are there?"

Hua Chao looked back at Ling Mi, who looked a little panicked, and felt a little amused.

"You! You seem to be quite brave at ordinary times, but why are you afraid of that little thing at this moment?"

Ling Mi grabbed Hua Chao's sleeve tightly and said timidly.

"It's such a dark and damp place, and the hole must be quite large. If it's really a spider, how big would it have to be? Who wouldn't be scared? Anyway, spiders are what I fear the most."

Hua Chao gently patted Ling Mi's hand.

"Alright, alright, stop scaring yourself. We don't know what it is, and if you scare yourself first, how can we continue the investigation?"

Ling Mi's voice trembled slightly, but she pretended to be calm.

"Oh... okay! Let's quickly find a way to escape from here! We'll be safe once we get out."

Hua Chao looked around and saw that the dim cave was completely pitch black.

There didn't seem to be anything to stand on.

"Let's try to find some rocks and pile them up so we can get closer to the cave entrance."

"Sister, your idea is not bad. But the cave ceiling is so high, how many stones do we need to find to reach it?"

"Not too much, raise it a little higher. I'll raise the torch higher and take a closer look at what's going on over there."

"As for how to get up there, we'll figure it out later."

"Okay... then let's see what it is first?"

Ling Mi turned around and looked for rocks to stand on. It was such a big cave, so it was easy to find a few rocks to stand on.

The rocks piled up higher and higher, and soon they were taller than Hua Chao's chest.

"Okay, this height is good enough."

Hua Chao bent down in the river water at his feet and washed the wet mud off his hands!

Then he shook his hands and straightened his back, walking around the stones he had just stacked to check whether they were solid.

"It looks OK, it should be stable. Sister, let me go up! You can just hold me from below."

Ling Mi said this and was about to climb up.

Hua Chao pulled her down.

"Ling Mi, don't do anything stupid. Just hold me up from below and I'll be fine."

"Besides, I'll go up and see clearly what's going on. What's the point of you going up and observing and then telling me?"

Ling Mi pouted and muttered somewhat angrily.

"Oh...you're always the first to rush forward when something happens, and it's the same again this time."

Hua Chao just smiled faintly, said nothing, and stepped onto the high stone platform.

When it was shaking below, the stone platform didn't shake much.

But after Hua Chao went up, he found that the stone platform was not very solid.

Try to control your body and maintain balance while squatting.

"Be careful, sister!"

Ling Mi held the stone platform with one hand and tightly grasped the torch with the other, looking at Hua Chao who was high above her with a worried look on her face.

"It's okay, it's just a little shaking, it's not a big deal, pass me the torch."

Hua Chao took the torch, controlled his body and tried his best to maintain balance, and gradually the stone platform under his feet stopped shaking.

I stood up slowly and found that the stone platform under my feet was not shaking much.

So he mustered up the courage to stand up straight, slowly raised the torch, and tried to get as close to the dark place as possible.

"Sister, you must be careful."

Ling Mi reminded Hua Chao with a trembling voice.

Hua Chao didn't bother to answer her, he just focused on staring at that place.

The sound of her heartbeat was clearly heard in her ears, and the blood in her body was flowing rapidly.

In the flickering firelight, the dark area gradually appeared in front of Hua Chao.

The surrounding stone pillars were all illuminated, except for that place which was still dark.

"Ling Mi, find me a small stone and let me see if I can throw it there. If it bounces back after I throw it there, it only means that there is only a dark place there."

"Okay...then stand still, I'll find it for you right away."

Ling Mi said as she searched on the ground and soon found a few small stones under her feet.

"To my sister..."

Hua Chao took the stone, aimed at the direction and threw it.

"Bang..."

But the stone actually hit the stone pillar next to the black hole.

"It's okay sis, aim better next time."

"Okay...I won't throw it anywhere else this time!"

Hua Chao turned the torch in his hand, tried to aim in the right direction and threw the stone out again.

The stone flew out and soon entered the shadow.

But no sound was heard, as if being sucked into the black hole.
