The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 257: Thorn Barrier

Hua Chao fell into the nine-headed snake demon's barrier again. The dark barrier was full of thorns.

There were withered yellow thorn bushes everywhere, and there was no land at all. There was no place to stand up and find a foothold.

The ground was covered with thorns, making it impossible to escape.

Hua Chao looked at everything around him anxiously, trying to find a way to escape.

The voice of the mysterious woman in black came to my ears, every word filled with hatred.

"Just remember, today is the day you die. Everything that's happening to you is your own fault. Just be on your way!"

Hua Chao looked up at the dark, starless night sky, and could not see anything except the night sky.

"Who are you and why do you only want to kill me? Three years ago at the Cliff of Broken Souls, you pushed me to the limit. I jumped off the cliff and that was what you wanted. Now you appear again and want to kill me. What is the grudge between you and me?"

The voice was filled with gnashing teeth and hatred, as if it wanted to eat Hua Chao alive.

"The grudge between you and me cannot be explained in a few words. Now that you have fallen into my hands, don't even think about getting out alive! If I don't kill you, this seductive witch, I will never be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Suddenly, Hua Chao felt a chill above his head, as if the entire night sky was pressing down on him.

Hua Chao raised her eyes and saw a huge hand pressing down from midair. Her fair skin looked even paler against the night sky. The nails on her slender fingers were dyed red, like sharp knives, carrying gusts of wind and pressing down on her who was lying in the bushes.

Hua Chao endured the waves of severe pain coming from her body. The thorns that had pierced deeply into her body were still drilling into her flesh.

Each thorn kept piercing Hua Chao's meridians, and every time she moved, the thorns penetrated deeper into her body.

The more they moved, the deeper the needles went, and some of them seemed to have penetrated into the bones.

Every time Hua Chao moved, the thorns pierced into his bones and meridians, causing him to feel an piercing pain.

Hua Chao was in so much pain that stars appeared in front of her eyes and sweat from her forehead dripped onto the thorns.

Hua Chao didn't care about the severe pain in her body at the moment, even though the pain made her almost faint.

But if he didn't move now, he would just be crushed or strangled to death by that giant hand.

Now the group of people that Hua Chao cares about the most are waiting for her to save them. She can’t just wait to die like this.

It is easy for Hua Chao to die, but Ling Mi, Huo Ling'er, Maomao and Brother Yang will all fall into the hands of the Demon King, and will suffer all kinds of humiliation, and then be refined into pills by the Demon King.

Hua Chao glanced at the thorn bush beside him and pounced on the withered thorns with his fleshy hands.

In an instant, withered yellow thorns pierced into the palm of Hua Chao's hand, and the blood instantly dyed Hua Chao's white palm bright red.

Hua Chao endured the severe pain without uttering a painful groan. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to hold up her body.

Looking again, Hua Chao's hands had turned bright red, and long thorns pierced her fair hands.

The whole hand was like a bright red hedgehog, and its thorns were still trembling slightly in the wind filled with yellow sand.

"what……"

A shrill scream caused the entire barrier to tremble slightly.

The royal red nails on that giant hand were like a huge eagle claw, grabbing Hua Chao in the thorn bush.

"call……"

It came with gusts of wind like a mountain pressing down, and in an instant dust and grass fragments flew everywhere in the thorn bushes.

"Hahaha……"

"You, a witch, have finally come to this day. Let's see how you can continue to use your magic to seduce men. It's too late for him to find you now. From now on, he will only have eyes for me!"

The giant hand turned over, but there was nothing else in the palm except a bunch of messy thorns.

"You are indeed a witch. You can actually find a way to escape from such a state. Prepare to die!"

The red nails on that giant claw grew longer in an instant, and the five nails stabbed straight at Hua Chao who was hiding aside like giant knives, at a speed as fast as lightning.

"Click..."

Hua Chao's ice-blue dress was like a dying blue butterfly among the withered yellow thorns, fluttering left and right. Suddenly, the ice-blue butterfly gradually turned into bright red.

There were dots of bright red flickering in the thorn bushes, and ghostly lights were flickering on those reds.

At first, it only appeared and disappeared from time to time, but gradually, as the bright red color became more and more, the spiritual light gathered into a piece.

The more they gather, the bigger they get. The more they gather, the more they get…

The originally indistinguishable color of the spiritual light gradually revealed its color, flickering with an icy blue color.

At this moment, Hua Chao felt that he was getting weaker and weaker, but the giant claw was attacking faster and faster.

The giant claws that smashed down from mid-air pulled out the thorns by the roots with every strike, and the flying sand and stones hit Hua Chao, causing him to be unable to breathe for a long time due to the pain.

Golden stars flew in front of Hua Chao's eyes and his ears were buzzing. In a trance, he saw the familiar Feihong coming again.

The flashing red color of the royal robe was so dazzling at this moment. Hua Chao shook his head and, using all his strength, turned his body over again and hid in the thorn bush beside him.

At this moment, Hua Chao could no longer feel the pain of the thorns piercing her body.

Everything in front of him disappeared, and only the red claws of the princess could be seen, the red claws that wanted to take his life.

Hua Chao's orchid-colored eyes were fixed on the claw that wanted to kill her, and the color in front of her eyes gradually turned red.

It was like a giant net that trapped Hua Chao tightly inside. This time, Hua Chao was no longer able to fight back. She didn't have any strength left in her body. At this moment, Hua Chao wanted to force herself to hide aside again.

But I found that I couldn't move even a finger.

It was as if all the muscles and bones in my body were pulled out, and everything in front of me began to blur.

"Maomao... Yang Shilin..."

"Suffer death..."

"Whirring whirring……"

Suddenly, the entire barrier flashed with a faint blue color, and every thorn in the thorn bush emitted an icy blue light.

Those dry yellow thorns suddenly emitted an icy blue light, and each thorn instantly turned icy blue.

In the blink of an eye, the thorns in the barrier gathered into an ice-blue barrier, firmly protecting Hua Chao who fell in the thorn bushes.

"You witch, why are you still acting like a demon before you die?"

Fei's red claws smashed into the ice-blue thorn barrier like a bolt of lightning.

"Bangdang..."

There was a loud bang, and the red claws of the princess were instantly covered in blood.

Ice-blue thorns pierced into the fair skin, and continued to pull the pupae inside.

The thorns flashed with ice-blue light and were covered with red sharp claws.

“Ah…it hurts so much…”

The giant claw disappeared in an instant, and the entire barrier immediately returned to silence.

Only a thorn barrier with an icy blue light was left.

The thorns trembled slightly towards the night sky of the barrier, like tiny guards protecting the elves and fairies within the barrier.
