The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 204 Falling into the Cave (2)

A strong mountain wind blew by, and Hua Chao and Ling Mi lost their balance and hurriedly leaned against the cliff behind them.

There was a loud bang and the cliff collapsed. The two people lost control of their bodies and fell backwards at the same time.

Hua Chao felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit. His body kept falling and the sound of wind was heard in his ears. After a long time, his feet stabilized and he fell steadily to the ground.

Before Hua Chao could react, there was another loud noise beside him and Ling Mi fell down.

It was pitch black before their eyes, the whole world was pitch dark, and the two people reached out their hands in panic to grope around.

"Sister, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Ling Mi groped around Hua Chao, and Hua Chao could clearly feel that Ling Mi was trembling slightly.

"Ling Mi, how are you..."

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

In the darkness, the two sisters hugged each other tightly, warming each other with their body temperature.

Hua Chao clearly felt that Ling Mi's trembling body gradually stabilized.

Hua Chao looked up to see how high they had fallen.

There was no light above my head. The rocks collapsed when I fell, so why can't I see any light now?

"Sister, what should I do now? How could I be so unlucky? After resting for a while, I fell into such a weird place."

"Lingmi, quickly take the flint and see where this place is."

Ling Mi said as he took out a flint from his backpack.

Hua Chao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked around and found that this was actually a natural cave.

The cave is full of strange-looking rocks and stalactites of various shapes, postures and colors.

Delicate and translucent, like crystal glass.

Some are shaped like a strong buffalo, and some are like a flying dragon.

Hua Chao and Ling Mi were shocked by the sight before them. They didn't expect that they would fall into such a big cave just by taking a rest beside the tooth.

"Wow... this cave is really big. How are we going to get out of such a huge cave?"

Ling Mi looked around with the torch in hand. In the empty cave, a small torch could not illuminate the entire place and could only illuminate a limited area around it.

Hua Chao took the torch and held it high up, wanting to see where they fell from.

Only then did I realize that the place where I fell was like a patio, and the cliff walls were extremely smooth.

Crystal clear water droplets were still oozing out from above, and when the torch was shone upwards, it was impossible to see the end.

"It's so high, I can't climb up even if I want to! These water droplets are seeping from the cliff. Even if I want to climb up, it's so slippery that I can't climb up at all."

Hua Chao reached out and touched the crystal clear water droplets. They felt cool and were no different from ordinary dew drops.

I sniffed it again and there was no strange smell.

Hua Chao sighed helplessly.

"Hey...it looks like it's impossible to crawl out from here."

Turning around and looking straight ahead, I saw that everywhere else was rock walls, with a winding road leading straight ahead and no other way to go.

Hua Chao held up the torch and took Ling Mi's hand.

"We have no choice but to take this road now. Lingmi, you must follow closely. We don't know where this place is yet."

"We have to be alert and hope we can find a way out. It's already afternoon now. If we don't hurry up, it will be dangerous if we haven't escaped by nightfall."

The two people followed closely, moving forward step by step cautiously.

Try not to make any noise with your feet, and light the cave in front of you little by little with the torch in your hand.

The light behind you also has to follow little by little.

The torches lit up the rocks in front, and gradually the stalactites became more peculiar, looking like a devil's cave.

The further you go in, the wetter it gets, and gradually the sound of dripping water becomes more frequent.

Hua Chao stepped on the wet ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow. His shoes were soaked and made a clacking sound.

Her whole body was soaked by the dripping water, and her clothes were all stuck to her body. Hua Chao felt very uncomfortable.

In the already eerie and damp cave, all their clothes were wet and Hua Chao and Ling Mi were shivering with cold.

But she didn't dare to stop, Ling Mi was a little discouraged.

"I've been walking for so long, but I still can't see the exit. If I keep going, when will I end?"

"There is no other way. We have no choice but to move forward."

"We have to hurry up. We have no idea when we'll be there in the cave. Lingmi, hold on."

"I still have some dry food here. Sister, do you want to have a bite?"

Hua Chao shook his head, but did not stop walking.

"If you're hungry, just eat a little, but don't stop!"

Suddenly, a huge rock appeared in the direction where the torch was lighting up in front of Hua Chao, blocking her way.

Tall stalactites hung down, cutting the only road in half.

Hua Chao rushed to the stone pillar in a hurry and looked up. The entire stone pillar looked like a giant pillar falling from the sky.

Blocking Hua Chao and Ling Mi's way, the milky white stone pillar was flashing with firelight, and drops of water dripped from the top of the stone pillar to Hua Chao's feet.

Ling Mi reached out and patted the stone pillar, causing the water droplets on it to splash everywhere.

"Oh my god! How come such a huge rock fell from the sky while we were walking? Do we have to go back?"

Hua Chao squatted down helplessly, gasping for breath, and hurried along without daring to stop.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Hua Chao felt weak all over. He didn't dare to stop, nor did he feel tired, until now, extreme fatigue quickly spread throughout his body.

Ling Mi also squatted down, and her rapid breathing sounded very clear in the empty cave.

"Sister, have a drink of water."

Lingmi took out the bamboo tube she carried with her and handed it to Hua Chao.

The cool water flowed down the throat into the stomach, instantly making the stomach feel refreshed. The cool feeling made Hua Chao feel very comfortable, and the impatience in her heart slowly eased.

Hua Chao stood up and looked around. Apart from the road they had walked on, there were strange rocks on three sides. There was no way to move forward.

Lingmi held a torch and looked around to explore.

Hua Chao took the torch from Ling Mi's hand, squatted down and took a closer look, and found that the water under his feet was like a shallow river.

The ground was no longer the wet ground it was when we fell into the cave.

“Ling Mi, you see the water on the ground here has formed a small river. It looks like we have to go all the way down before the water will gather into a river.”

"That means there is a river somewhere nearby. If we can find a river, the water will definitely lead to the outside world."

Ling Mi rushed to Hua Chao with joy.

"Hmm... So, as long as we find the river, we can find a way out."

Hua Chao signaled Ling Mi to keep quiet, and she laid on the ground with her ear close to the ground, and sure enough, she heard the sound of running water...
