The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 278 I want to go back

“Swish…swish…”

A familiar cry came from the innermost part of the cave. The shrill cry was like a knife piercing Hua Chao's heart. It was indeed the cry of the Crystal-thorn Pterosaur, but how was this possible!

Could it be that the Crystal Thorn Pterosaur is really trapped here?

Hua Chao accelerated his pace and ran towards the sound. The Crystal Thorn Pterosaur was here, but where was Huo Ling'er? Where was Ling Mi?

The last time Hua Chao saw them, Huo Ling'er and Ling Mi were lying on the back of the Crystal Thorn Pterosaur, dying. Now that the pterosaur is here, where did they go?

Suddenly, in the dim cave, a pterosaur covered with ice thorns appeared in front of Hua Chao.

The ice spikes all over its body were like crystal clear ice knives, each of which swayed slightly, flashing dazzling light.

A pair of big eyes as crystal as gems were full of desolation. It was staring at Hua Chao intently. Thick iron chains were tied to its four hooves, and its ankles were stained with blood.

“Swish…swish…”

Hua Chao wanted to rush over and hug it, hold it in his arms, and gently stroke its ice spikes. He really missed the Crystal Thorn Pterosaur. In this strange fantasy, seeing the Crystal Thorn Pterosaur would make Hua Chao feel a little more comfortable.

Suddenly, a colorful barrier blocked her view, separating her and the crystal pterosaur into two worlds.

"Weng Rong, be careful..."

The person behind her grabbed Hua Chao and held her in his arms. A ray of spiritual light from a barrier whizzed past Hua Chao. If she had been a step later, she might have really been hurt by the colorful spiritual light.

Hua Chao was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, but she calmed herself down a little, broke free from Xuan Jin's restraints, rushed to the barrier, looked at the crystal pterosaur trapped in the barrier, and wanted to force her way in again.

"You can't force your way in. If you do, your father will find out that someone is tampering with the barrier he set up. How can we still have a chance to save it?"

Hua Chao turned around and looked directly into Xuan Jin's eyes. At this moment, she was no longer afraid to look into those eyes.

"Is there still a chance to save it? What does this mean? Do you have a way to save it?"

"Of course there is, but now is not the right time. We have to find a better time."

"The pterosaur is still very weak. We need to find a way to restore its spiritual power. After its spiritual power is restored, we can rescue it and then leave Huanyue Island to a place where no one knows us."

"Then I can't just watch it suffer in the barrier! Look! What has become of the Crystal Pterosaur's four hooves!"

"Weng Rong, you must listen! Don't be so impulsive. If your father finds out that we are disturbing his barrier, there will be nothing he can do!"

A furry and wet thing was rubbing against Hua Chao's hand. The damp and warm feeling startled Hua Chao so much that he stepped back repeatedly. When he lowered his head and took a closer look, he found that it was actually a fiery red Qilin beast.

The little beast was lying next to the barrier just now. Hua Chao was so focused on running towards the Crystal Thorn Pterosaur that he didn't really see it.

The mythical beast was bright red all over, and the kirin pieces on its body were like fireworks. It stared with a pair of ruby-like eyes and lowered its head as it came closer!

Hua Chao slowly squatted down, took the Fire Kirin into her arms, stroked its Kirin pieces, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Huo Ling'er, my Huo Ling'er..."

In this strange dream, Hua Chao was able to truly hug the Fire Kirin. At this moment, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad. It felt like a century had passed since he left them, and he didn't know if he could go back.

Now only Huo Linger can be truly held in her arms. But it is her Huo Linger, the good son of her and Yang Shilin, Huo Linger!

I remember the last time I saw Huo Ling'er, he was lying on the back of the Crystal Thorn Pterosaur, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. Now in the illusion, it has become a speechless divine beast.

"Weng Rong, what did you call it? Huo Ling'er, is that the name you gave to the Fire Kirin?"

Xuan Jin behind him looked doubtful and asked slowly.

Hua Chao finally reacted and for a moment forgot that there was a Xuan Jin behind him who he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend. But the words had already been spoken and he couldn't take them back, so he evaded the question.

"Oh! I've always wanted to call it Huo Ling'er..."

"The first thing Fire Kirin wanted to do after returning was to visit its friend, Crystal Thorn Pterosaur. After it left, it was worried about Crystal Thorn Pterosaur's safety every day. Now that it is with Crystal Thorn Pterosaur, you can rest assured!"

"My Fire Kirin... Oh! From now on, it will be called Huo Ling'er. This name suits it very well!"

"My Huo Ling'er is the most alert. If there is anything wrong, she will send out warning signals. The two of us should go and guard outside!"

As he spoke, his slender fingers stroked the Fire Qilin's horn.

"But I just want to stay here with Crystal Thorn Pterosaur and Huo Ling'er. I won't go anywhere else! If you want to go, go by yourself."

Hua Chao understood what Xuan Jin meant. He wanted her to leave here, but here were her adopted son Huo Ling'er and the Crystal Thorn Pterosaur.

How could she follow a stranger to enjoy herself somewhere else and leave her child and the crystal pterosaur to suffer in this dark and damp cave?

Even if she still couldn't find a way to escape from Fantasy Moon Island, she would protect them and stay with them. She would never be separated from them again.

"Weng Rong, please don't be so willful! Let's go out and find a solution. Otherwise, if we stay here too long, your father will find out!"

"After we get out, let's work together to rescue the Crystal Thorn Pterosaur..."

How could Hua Chao listen to anything? At this moment, she was only thinking about the Crystal Thorn Pterosaur that was trapped in the barrier and in great pain, and the pitiful Fire Kirin beside her.

"No... I will never leave Huo Ling'er and Crystal Thorn Pterosaur again. I will protect them. You can go outside by yourself! No one can separate us again."

Xuan Jin slowly squatted down, suddenly embraced Hua Chao in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice.

"In that case, let me take you out of Fantasy Moon Island! What's the point of guarding this lonely Fantasy Moon Island now?"

Hua Chao heard what he said and looked at him in surprise.

"What did you say? Can you take us away from this Fantasy Moon Island?"

I raised my eyes and met those amber eyes filled with tears.

"I can take you away from here. I have always had the ability to take you away from Fantasy Moon Island. Your father's magic power is not enough to trap me."

"But I'm waiting for your determination, waiting for the day when you say you want to leave here. Because this is your home, with your family who gave birth to you and raised you."

"I can't be so selfish as to only care about myself and ignore your feelings. As long as you don't want to leave Huanyue Island, I will always be here with you!"

"Really? You really have a way to leave Fantasy Moon Island? That's great. Why are you still hesitating? Let's leave now. I don't want to stay here any longer... I want to go back..."
