My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1033: King Yu Statue

"Next time, if it happens again, cut off your own tongue." Qing Li’s cold gaze was fixed on the utterly humble Yuan Hong.

"Granny, you actually drew the Snake Seal for me! Luckily, you were so thoughtful; otherwise, I would have drowned." I hugged Qing Li’s arm joyfully, sweetly expressing my gratitude, "Thank you~ I like you the most~"

Actually, I was not totally unprepared; I had also considered how to handle things once in the water.

Within the Taoist Sect, there is a unique hand seal, known as the Water Repelling Spell.

If Qing Li hadn’t helped me carve the Snake Seal, I would have expanded the range of the Water Repelling Spell to protect both myself and Qing Li.

However, the hand seal for the Water Repelling Spell has a significant flaw.

One must constantly maintain the grip on the hand seal; otherwise, it loses effect immediately in the water.

Unlike the Snake Seal carved into the palm by Qing Li, though it was excruciatingly painful, it allows one to move in the water like a fish for a short period.

This way, if encountered by enemies, one wouldn’t be hindered by holding the hand seal, unable to fight.

Qing Li glanced at me helplessly, somewhat worriedly saying, "Wanwan, it’s not time to be happy yet. King Yu’s Tomb sunk into the Nether Spring is merely your speculation, and it’s hard to determine whether it actually fell in the same place as us. We don’t know if diving further will truly find it."

"There’s really no need to worry; look at that." I pointed in a certain direction within the darkness, prompting Qing Li to look over.

Both Qing Li and Yuan Hong lowered their heads to look in the direction I pointed.

In the water, with no light source, we could only rely on the extent of our own eye training to pierce the darkness and see the situation in the water.

The depth of the Nether Spring seemed infinite, yet it was not far beneath our feet.

A majestic statue actually emerged, with the angle just right to see the statue’s impossibly broad shoulders and its neck which was empty, missing a head weighing hundreds of pounds.

As everyone was in a daze, the Dust World Serpent’s statue already brought us before the divine statue.

"It’s King Yu Statue." Qing Li’s gaze was fixed on the statue in the water, "It was directly carved into the mountain’s belly, and it... actually fell into the Nether Spring too."

The statue was carved directly with the mountain’s stones during the hollowing of the mountain’s belly, connected with the mountain.

Thus, the mountain that collapsed also ended up in this part of the Nether Spring.

After being submerged, it seemed to restore its previous completeness, right behind King Yu’s Statue.

Yuan Hong was dumbfounded, kneeling and kowtowing in earnest repentance, "My lord, I didn’t mean to... lose your head, please forgive me."

The head of King Yu, which Yuan Hong was holding in his arms, was extraordinarily large; if it weren’t for his monster strength, there was no way to carry it around.

However, when he fell into the Nether Spring, he was overwhelmed, and soon the head was lost in the water.

"Since King Yu’s statue appeared here, it indicates that the Royal Tomb likely fell as well." As I analyzed, the Dust World Serpent landed atop a massive glazed treasure dome underwater.

As weight pressed down, the glazed tiles slipped off.

Beneath these glazed tiles was not a mausoleum palace; instead, it was an indestructible surface paved with Vajra Stone.

This means the glazed tiles were merely decorative, and the Royal Tomb was encased in Vajra Stone as securely as a fortress.

"Big Serpent, we can’t enter the Royal Tomb from here; why don’t you take us down to have a look." I bent down and patted the snake’s head on the statue.

Soon, the Dust World Serpent spiraled downward to the bottom of the Nether Spring.

In front of us were two immense stone doors carved with various exotic birds and beasts, matching the Royal Tomb’s height perfectly.

Too... incredible... it was...

It hardly seems like something that could be crafted by human hands... much less by ancient people... such architecture...
