My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1036: Still So Stupid

"Monkey, you really haven’t changed a bit, despite thousands of years passing, you’re still so dumb," Qing Li sneered and provocatively asked, "Have you read Legend of the Condor Heroes?"

Yuan Hong was dumbfounded by this leap in logic, "What do you mean?"

Once the mechanism was activated, countless drops of mercury began falling from above Qing Li and me.

Mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal, whether inhaled into the lungs or absorbed through the skin.

It would poison Qing Li and me, killing us stiff.

Qing Li leaned towards me, "Carry me, I’ll tell you how to walk."

"Alright~ Granny," my mood lifted from being pushed into despair to suddenly being invigorated.

I carried the frail Qing Li on my back, following her directions.

In less than ten seconds, I was standing in front of Yuan Hong on the other side.

"The solution was demonstrated in Legend of the Condor Heroes, for those who understand the Fuxi Eight Trigrams Formation, any complex mechanism in the eyes of fools can be solved with just one glance," Qing Li coughed lightly and scoffed, "Just the likes of the King Yu’s Tomb, you think it could stop me?"

"You... actually solved the Plum Blossom Piles’ formation in such a short time!" Yuan Hong was terrified when he saw me pulling out the fire charm, and started to run.

I still needed Yuan Hong’s help to crack the mechanisms along the way, so how could I let him run away?

In a moment of inspiration, I stepped on the Golden Lotus to chase, my spell was cast swiftly, speeding up two or three times faster than usual.

Qing Li shot out a strand of blood-colored spider silk and said to me, "Wanwan, don’t chase, that monkey is crafty and treacherous, be cautious of more mechanisms on the road."

"Oh oh oh." I was just a small fry watching the deities fight, obediently responding, "But if he runs away, we’re unfamiliar with the Royal Tomb, how do we continue to find the Demonic Cave?"

Qing Li laughed sinisterly, "He will come back and obediently lead the way for us."

The spider silk flew out for only half a minute.

Yuan Hong returned, fuming, "When did you cast the Forbidden Woman Witchcraft on me?"

Upon closer inspection, there was a tattoo of a blood-colored human-faced spider between Yuan Hong’s eyebrows.

The human-faced spider seemed to be both a tattoo and a living thing.

Nesting between the white hairs of Yuan Hong’s brow, the red web slowly spread across his entire body.

"From the moment you fell from the top into the Nether Spring, I started casting the spell on you," Qing Li nonchalantly taunted Yuan Hong, "If you had realized it immediately and interrupted my Art, you wouldn’t be like this now."

"Despicable and shameless, you’re just as cunning as you were back then!" Yuan Hong raged, the angrier he got.

The more the red spider silk spread across his pale skin, the deeper the grip of this spider Forbidden Woman Witchcraft became the angrier one got.

Qing Li played with the spider silk like puppet strings, maneuvering Yuan Hong to kneel on the ground, "You now have only one path, to pledge loyalty to me, or else you’ll just drop dead here."

"I... I choose to be loyal." Yuan Hong knelt on one knee, clenching his fist to his chest.

Biting his teeth in humiliation...

And so, Yuan Hong led the way for Qing Li and me.

We passed through a series of intricate, ornate, and treasure-filled burial chambers.

Yuan Hong led us into a narrow corridor.

The murals depicted scenes of people entering the Underworld after death.

Quite eerie, I couldn’t help but take a cold gasp in fear.

Afraid that Yuan Hong might trigger some mechanism and cause trouble in the corridor.

"Big Sister Qing Li, where exactly is the Demonic Cave, you must tell me," Yuan Hong stopped at a fork in the corridor, with twelve separate paths, he looked at the different routes and said hesitantly, "Otherwise, this Royal Tomb is so vast, searching aimlessly might take us three years and we still might not find it."

"The Demonic Cave is drawn to the Emperor’s aura, head first to King Yu’s main burial chamber, and don’t try any tricks," Qing Li warned Yuan Hong.
