The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 205: Strange black and purple rocks.

Hua Chao signaled Ling Mi not to make any sound, then he lay on the ground and listened carefully, and sure enough, he found the sound of flowing water.

And the sound seemed quite loud, not like the sound of a small stream.

"Lingmi, listen to the sound of water. It sounds quite loud!"

"Really? Sister asked me to listen too."

Ling Mi said this and imitated Hua Chao, lying on the ground with her ear close to the ground and listening carefully.

A pair of bright eyes opened wider and wider, and a smile gradually appeared on its face.

"Really, sister! There really is the sound of running water, and it sounds quite loud! That's great, it looks like we have a way to get out this time."

Hua Chao stood up, and the water on his body dripped down his clothes to his feet, splashing on the ground.

The two men wrung out the water from the corners of their clothes and then looked around carefully. However, it was not easy to see clearly in the dim cave.

"Since there is the sound of flowing water in Lingmi, there must be a place to get out. We must carefully observe every rock and not miss any corner. Find the exit as soon as possible! You go over there and I'll go over here."

"Okay... Sister, don't worry, we will find a way."

"Okay, got it..."

Hua Chao knew that Ling Mi was worried that she was too anxious, so she deliberately said these words to comfort her.

He turned around and carefully touched the rocks beside him, afraid of missing any one.

Every piece of the cold and wet rock was damp, and soon Hua Chao's fingers were frozen.

Hua Chao found a small rock, which felt heavy in his hand.

"bang bang..."

When she knocked the rock in her hand against it, it sounded muffled, and Hua Chao knew that this was not the stone she was looking for.

This time you don't need to touch the rock with your fingers. Just tap the rock in your hand. This is actually faster than checking it with your hands.

"Lingmi, find a stone and use it to knock on those rocks, the kind that makes a muffled sound. There must be nothing underneath."

"If it sounds empty when you knock on it, that's what we're looking for."

Ling Mi asked in surprise.

"Ah! Sister, how do you know so much? Haha... this is a good idea."

Lingmi also followed her sister's example, found a stone and knocked on the rocks around her.

The two men began to knock on the rock wall carefully, not missing a single spot.

In the dark and damp cave, each rock wall has a different shape with strange bumps and depressions.

…………

Hua Chao used the rock in his hand to knock on a black and purple rock, and the sound made by this stone was a little different.

Hua Chao was a little unsure, after all, it was the first time she encountered such a thing.

Having no experience, he knocked gently around the black and purple rock.

"Boom thump... thump thump..."

The sound sounded a little hollow, and Hua Chao observed the rock carefully.

This rock was black with a hint of purple, and had some pearly luster on it, and its surface looked more moist than other rocks.

The entire rock looks like it was inlaid, completely different from the milky white stalactites around it.

The whole shape looked like a round hole, and the more Hua Chao looked at it, the faster her heart beat.

So he picked up a stone and hit the small rock carefully, thinking that if he could break the rock, he might be able to find an exit.

But the opposite happened, and Hua Chao hit the rock hard several times.

But there was no reaction at all. Apart from a few sparks caused by excessive force, the black and purple rock remained stable and unchanged.

This made Hua Chao a little anxious, so he used more force in his hands and raised the stone high.

“Bang…Bang…”

He hit the black and purple stone in front of him hard again and again, and really wanted to smash it to pieces with one stone.

"Sister, have you discovered anything?" Ling Mi asked, turning her head.

"I struck the stone and it made a hollow sound, but no matter how hard I struck it, it wouldn't budge."

Ling Mi brought the torch in her hand closer to Hua Chao and carefully observed the black and purple rock.

"Hmm... this black and purple rock looks different from the others. It seems to be inlaid separately."

"Let me knock it and see. I just can't believe that a small piece of rock can't be knocked."

Ling Mi said as he picked up the rock in his hand and smashed it hard.

"Bang..."

But after hearing a crisp sound, the rock did not change at all.

"Oh my, it's quite strong. I didn't believe it."

As he said this, he raised the stone in his hand high up, intending to smash it down hard once again.

“Spiritual honey…”

Hua Chao reached out to stop Ling Mi.

"It's useless to smash it like this. We might as well think of other ways."

"What else can we do besides smashing it? We don't have any other tools, so we can only smash it now."

Hua Chao stood aside with his arms folded, staring at the black and purple rock.

"He looks ordinary, but I didn't expect him to be so strong."

"It seems to have been carefully placed there. Is there some mechanism somewhere else? Otherwise, how could it be so secure?"

Ling Mi finally reacted and suddenly realized.

"My sister is smart. I only know how to use brute force!"

"Then I'll hold the torch for you, and you just focus on searching! Come up with a solution quickly so we can escape from this dark cave."

"Good! We better find an exit quickly!"

Hua Chao looked around, but the surrounding rocks didn't seem to have anything special.

In the dark and empty cave, there were rugged rocks and no light except the torch in the hand.

"This piece of rock is a bit strange in color and is relatively hard. The rest is no different from other rocks."

Suddenly an idea flashed through my mind. Since its characteristics are color and hardness, I might as well look for it according to color first.

"Lingmi, let's look around here first for rocks that are the same color as this black and purple rock, and see how many rocks there are around."

"Okay! I'll find it right away..."

The two men began to search carefully in the cave, but the cave was empty and one torch could not illuminate the entire cave.

You can only look carefully for the sound of dripping water in the empty cave not far away.

It sounded extremely eerie, and water dripped onto Hua Chao from time to time.

Soon Hua Chao felt extremely wet, as if she had just emerged from the water.

I had to stop, take off my clothes and wring them dry.

I felt a lot more comfortable when I put it on again, but my feet were almost numb from soaking in the cold water.

Hua Chao didn't care about her feet which were as cold as stones, and searched around carefully.

Suddenly, a drop of water as big as a fist fell in front of Hua Chao's eyes.
