The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 203 Falling into the Cave (1)

As soon as Hua Chao climbed up the Cliff of Broken Souls, he felt his head dizzy, his feet went weak, and his hands were shaking slightly.

She didn't dare to climb any further, so she stopped and took a deep breath, letting the damp air from the cliff sink into her lungs.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The events that had happened in the past few days were too much for this mortal body to bear.

But even so, she had to persevere, because her Maomao and Brother Yang were still waiting at home for them to find the orchid grass to save their lives.

Hua Chao licked his lips, took a few deep breaths, and felt his head seemed to be much clearer.

So he aimed at a cliff rock above his head and continued to climb up by changing his steps.

I continued with all my strength without stopping. This seemed to be much better than before, and my legs no longer felt weak.

Two delicate figures moved lightly on the cliff of Broken Souls Cliff and soon climbed to the middle of the hillside.

Hua Chao stopped and looked up, gasping for breath. Ling Mi was not far above him.

She was also panting and her feet were covered in mud.

"Sister, this Soul-Breaking Cliff is really hard to climb! Ling Mi has never seen such a difficult cliff to climb in her memory."

“I wonder if I could have climbed up this kind of cliff if I had encountered one when I was a flower elf! Haha…”

"Ling Mi, don't think too much. Focus on your feet and don't think about useless things."

"This is within the control of the thousand-year-old fox demon. We don't know what will happen next. You must be careful and don't be absent-minded."

Ling Mi's voice came from above, and the empty valley made her voice sound somewhat strange.

"Oh... I see. I'll just be more careful, sister."

Hua Chao stepped tighter and looked down at his feet.

The mountains were no longer visible, only a thin layer of mist under my feet.

We had already climbed halfway up the mountain, and there was not even a blade of grass between the cliffs except for green moss.

Where can I find orchid grass on such a big mountain?

Hua Chao looked around and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, as it was almost noon.

The two of them had only climbed halfway up the mountain, and it would probably take almost 3 p.m. for them to reach the top.

Even if I climb to the top of the mountain, I may not be able to find the orchid grass. The more I think about it, the more anxious I become.

He couldn't help but speed up and soon caught up with Ling Mi.

"Sister, didn't you tell me to slow down? Why are you climbing so fast?"

Ling Mi clung tightly to a protruding rock and turned to look at Hua Chao.

"Look, it's already noon. If we don't move faster, it will be almost 3 p.m. by the time we reach the top of the mountain. You and I have experienced how terrifying the Cliff of Broken Souls is when night falls."

"Now let's push our feet harder and speed up. I hope we can find the orchid grass without having to climb to the top of the mountain."

Ling Mi nodded and said no more, and the two of them climbed up.

Suddenly Hua Chao discovered that there was a protruding area not far above his head, which looked like a small platform.

She was indeed feeling a little tired now, and it would be great if she could rest there for a while.

When we continue climbing the mountain later, we will definitely be much faster than we are now.

"Lingmi, let's go over there and take a rest. I am indeed a little tired."

"okay……"

It didn't look far away, but it took a lot of effort to climb up to it.

Only when Hua Chao got closer did he discover that this protruding rock was very smooth all around.

It is covered with moss, and the whole rock is tightly connected to the mountain, forming a small platform.

It is really a great luck to find such a place to rest on such a steep cliff.

Hua Chao and Ling Mi lay on the cliff and observed carefully, then found a place with less moss.

Hua Chao first climbed to the edge of the cliff to find a good position, and then let Ling Mi climb over.

Ling Mi was agile and Hua Chao held her up with one hand from below. Ling Mi then stepped over with one foot and moved forward little by little.

But the moss on the protruding rock was too slippery, and she slipped down before she put her foot on it and put any force.

Fortunately, the center of gravity of the body has not shifted, Lingmi patted his chest lightly.

"It's a bit scary. I don't believe it yet. Let me try again."

"Spiritual honey won't work. You should remove some of the moss first. That way it won't be so slippery."

Hua Chao handed her the small shovel in the backpack. Ling Mi took the shovel and cleared a large area with two or three strokes.

He stretched out his hand and put the shovel into his backpack, then he put his leg on it.

This time Lingmi quickly climbed up the rock and started removing the moss from it piece by piece.

He turned around and lay on the cliff, reaching out one hand and holding Hua Chao's hand tightly.

Hua Chao didn't dare to use too much force and could only move his feet slowly.

The sharp mountain wind made Hua Chao's body sway slightly in the wind.

There was a gust of wind in his ears. Hua Chao was extremely tired now. There was no strength in his arms and his feet felt like they were stepping on soft cotton.

When I raised my eyes, I saw Ling Mi's cheeks, which were red from holding her breath too hard.

Hua Chao used up his last bit of strength, pushed his feet and leaped lightly upwards.

Lying flat on the protruding rock.

Suddenly I felt my body being supported, and my heartbeat began to accelerate.

Ling Mi moved her body and also lay flat on the platform.

Although the mountain wind was blowing, my body had solid support.

This feeling made Hua Chao feel as if all the muscles and bones in his body were pulled out. He was so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger.

I turned over and lay flat on the cliff, and the clouds above my head slowly drifted away.

At first glance, you still can't see the top of the cliff, as if the Cliff of Broken Souls has no top at all except the cliff wall.

"Oh... Ouch... Haha... This mountain climbing almost exhausted me to death. I didn't expect that I, a mountain elf, would one day become so exhausted from climbing a mountain." Ling Mi panted and laughed at herself.

Hua Chao was already out of breath, and Ling Mi's few words made him cough violently.

"Ahem...you still have the energy to joke around, you're not tired!"

"Hahaha……"

The two people lay on their backs on the small platform. Although the mountain wind was strong, it was still relatively safe to lie flat on the cliff.

I lay there quietly, listening to the mountain wind whistling through the silent valley, with a few wisps of clouds passing by from time to time.

After resting for a while, the two of them sat up.

The cliff was not big enough to accommodate the two of them, and it looked quite sturdy.

The surrounding cliffs are extremely smooth, completely different from the abrupt cliffs in other places.

It looked as if it had been carefully polished. Although it was covered with moss, it did not look messy at all.

"Sister, this place is so strange! It looks like someone comes here often."

Hua Chao didn't say anything either, just carefully observed the rocks around him.

But no matter how you look at it, this small piece of land cannot accommodate a person living here for a long time.

Suddenly a mountain breeze blew, and Hua Chaozheng and Ling Mi lost their balance and leaned against the cliff almost at the same time.

As soon as my body touched the cliff, I felt the rocks behind me collapsing.

The two people lost control of their bodies and fell backwards at the same time. They felt like they were falling into a bottomless pit, and their bodies kept falling...

"Yang Shilin...Maomao..."
