The Legendary Man

Chapter 1169 The Hidden Underground Chamber

The hook serpent's body wasn't particularly thick or large, but Jonathan, currently inside the serpent's stomach, couldn't penetrate its body with his spiritual sense.

However, even within it, Jonathan could clearly feel the serpent's body rapidly constricting.

It seemed that he was being swiftly pulled underwater.

With the continuous movement of the serpent's esophagus, Jonathan slowly slid down while still being shielded by the bronze handbell.

At that moment, it became much easier for Jonathan to take action against the hook serpent.

Every child who grew up in Chanaea had seen this kind of situation in fantasy movies, so everyone knew the classic move of diving into a beast's stomach and pounding it from the inside until the poor thing cried for mercy.

Jonathan only needed to remove the shield and use his Heaven Sword to make a gutting strike from the inside out, and the hook serpent's life would surely come to an end.

However, Jonathan dared not attack the serpent that had swallowed him.

Its speed in the water had already been demonstrated. It was incredibly fast.

More than ten seconds had passed from the moment he was swallowed by the serpent until the serpent's return to the water.

In this span of time, the serpent had not shown any signs of slowing down. Even now, Jonathan was still in a head-down position.

If the serpent continued to descend, then he was probably already more than three hundred meters below the surface of the water.

An important fact to note was that water pressure was directly related to the depth of the water.

At this depth, even with Jonathan's water-elemental extrication technique, if he were exposed to the water, he would likely be instantly crushed by the pressure.

Thus, he didn't dare to kill the hook serpent just yet. He could only hope that the serpent's ultimate destination wouldn't be the extreme depths.

Otherwise, even if he managed to slay the serpent, it would be impossible for him to return to the surface.

Within the serpent's stomach, after dozens of seconds, Jonathan finally felt his body being repositioned upright.

Then, the serpent rapidly ascended. After another ten or so seconds, Jonathan felt that the serpent had finally come to a stop.

Sensing the serpent's body gradually relaxing, Jonathan became somewhat puzzled.

According to reason, after descending with the serpent for dozens of seconds, he should be at least several hundred meters underwater.

Based on Jonathan's deduction, this was likely some kind of underground river.

Even if the serpent ascended for another ten or so seconds, it still wouldn't be enough to bring him back to the surface.
