The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 213 Key

When Hua Chao saw the painting right above the box, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart.

In pain, Hua Chao quickly covered her chest, trying to relieve some of the pain.

But the pain became more and more severe, as if thousands of steel knives were scraping my heart at the same time.

Hua Chao's forehead was covered with sweat due to the pain, as if another hand was tearing his heart apart.

Hua Chao's body trembled slightly due to the pain, and suddenly her body tilted.

A slightly sweet taste rushed out from my heart, and I spat a mouthful of blood directly onto the man's portrait.

In an instant, the man's entire body was dyed blood red.

The man in the portrait was completely covered in blood, and his original appearance could not be seen.

"Sister...what's wrong with you..."

Seeing this, Ling Mi didn't care whether Hua Chao was angry or not, she rushed over to support her sister. She wiped the blood from the corners of her lips, patted Hua Chao's back, and asked with a sob.

"What's going on? Why are you vomiting so much blood? Did you get injured in the fight with the pterosaur just now..."

Hua Chao wiped the sweat from his forehead, suppressed the heartache, and looked at the blood he had vomited in front of him in disbelief.

"I don't know what happened, but I suddenly felt an awful pain in my heart... It felt like someone was tearing my heart apart. My heart has never hurt so much before..."

Hua Chao still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he squatted down, gasped, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Sister... I think we should leave here quickly. Ling Mi feels that this place is a bit scary. We'd better not look at what is in this stone box!"

Hua Chao was speechless. The pain in her heart eased a little at this moment, but she still needed to take a breath.

As for why he suddenly vomited blood just now, Hua Chao didn't know what happened, he just felt inexplicably painful in his heart.

I have no relationship with the people in the painting, and have never heard of the story in the painting.

Why do I have such an incredible feeling?

Could it be that this stone box really has some unspeakable secret, and this will happen whenever someone touches it?

Hua Chao covered his chest and suppressed the pain in his heart.

Now the two of them must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise they will be in such a small space.

If they were to meet that pterosaur head-on, the two sisters would have no way out but death.

Now that I'm here and have seen the painting on the stone box, although I don't understand its meaning, Hua Chao can still make out some of it.

It seems that this is a sad love story that is hidden here and discovered by the two sisters.

There must be a reason behind this, maybe there is a way to escape from the dark cave.

Now that it has come to this, how can I let go so easily!

Thinking of this, Hua Chao no longer hesitated, holding Ling Mi's hand and slowly stood up.

"Ling Mi... I'm fine, you should go hide over there... We have to move faster... Open this stone box... Maybe we can find a way to escape from here. Maybe there's a map or something in it."

"Sister... I'm here with you... If anything unexpected happens, I can help you."

Hua Chao said in a firm tone.

"Ling Mi...be obedient...I'm fine...go quickly...if something unexpected happens, both of us won't get hurt."

Ling Mi knew that her sister always kept her word and would never change her mind once she made up her mind.

Although she was extremely worried, she could only find a corner to stand in, raise the torch in her hand high, and try her best to help her sister Hua Chao make the stone box brighter.

Hua Chao used the torn piece of clothes in his hand to wipe the blood off the stone box bit by bit.

However, there were still traces of blood on the portrait of the man that could not be wiped clean.

Although Hua Chao had carefully wiped away all the blood, the blood on the man's body seemed to have seeped into him.

Even though Hua Chao wiped it again and again, it couldn't be cleaned. She didn't have time to worry about it anymore. The most important thing right now was to open the box.

Hua Chao clasped both sides of the stone box with his hands, and pointed his ten fingers upwards with all his strength.

But the stone box remained motionless, with no sign of being opened.

Hua Chao was a little anxious now. There was no place to put force on the entire box, and she couldn't move it even a little bit even if she tried hard.

Hua Chao raised his hand and clenched his fist. Because he was using too much force, his entire fist looked slightly red.

"哐...哐..."

The more Hua Chao smashed the box, the angrier he became. How could such a small box be so sturdy?

The two sisters went out to look for the orchid grass. Brother Yang and Maomao at home were still waiting for them to find the orchid grass to save their lives!

They were trapped in this dark cave, unable to escape. Every moment of delay would increase the danger to the two people at home who were waiting for help.

Hua Chao was furious, and he raised his fist high and punched the top of the stone box randomly.

The pink fist hit the man tied up with iron chains in the portrait right on the body.

Suddenly the man seemed to come alive, and the chains on his body swayed slightly.

The head with long hair hanging down suddenly raised up.

The eyes emitted an amber light that shot straight up to the top of the cliff.

Hua Chao was caught off guard and stepped back in fright, standing where he was, staring at the light.

But after the light hit the top of the cliff, a strong spiritual light was emitted from there, as if there was a mirror there that reflected the spiritual light back to the stone box.

As the spiritual light shone on the stone box, the stone box, which had been motionless, suddenly emitted a stronger light.

In the shimmering light, the stone box slowly opened.

The entire cave was illuminated as if it were daytime, and Hua Chao's eyes were stung by the sudden strong light.

Hua Chao endured the pain and squinted his eyes to see the stone box slowly open.

I hurried forward to see what was inside and why it was hidden so deeply.

When I got closer, I saw something like a key inside.

The color is actually the same as the strange black and purple rock below, as if it was carved out of a piece of stone.

"Why is it the same as that strange rock? Why make such a small piece of rock so mysterious?!"

Ling Mi came over and saw it, and curled her lips in disdain.

"That may not be the case! This thing looks like a key. If we get it, we may be able to escape from here. The reason we came to the Cliff of Broken Souls is to find the ghost grass."

"Only by leaving this cave can we find the ghost grass. In this case, you and I will go down now and see if this key can find the exit of the cave."

Hua Chao said as he reached out and picked up the black and purple key from the box.

This key looks only the size of a palm, but it feels heavy in the hand.

It feels icy to the touch, the same temperature as the rock wall, but it feels slippery and moist in the hand.

Hua Chao shook it in his hand.

"As expected of a key made of rock, it's surprisingly heavy."

"Sister...how about letting me take a look? It took the two of us a lot of effort to figure out such a small thing."

Suddenly, a cold light flashed before Hua Chao's eyes. It was a very familiar shimmering cold light...
