The next morning, Su Yutang and Bo Jingzhou packed up and carefully placed the few tools that might come in handy into their backpacks, making all preparations for departure.

Just when they were about to leave, Xiao Hengyu arrived.

He was also fully armed, wearing thick gloves, and it was obvious that he came well prepared.

Su Yutang felt strange and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Hengyu glanced at her, then quickly looked away and said coldly, "I'm going too."

Su Yutang: "Are you going treasure hunting too?"

Xiao Hengyu snorted coldly and said as a matter of course: "That's right, I'm worried that you will steal my treasure and run away."

When Su Yutang heard this, she frowned and said, "We are not that kind of people."

She felt that Xiao Hengyu was simply judging others by his own standards, as they had never thought of such an idea before.

Xiao Hengyu said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, I told you I'm worried and I have to go and see you."

After saying that, Xiao Hengyu set off and walked straight towards the entrance of the treasure hunt.

Su Yutang and Bo Jingzhou looked at each other.

Bo Jingzhou said, "Let him be."

Su Yutang nodded.

Zhang Suo, however, was extremely nervous. He said with a worried look on his face, "Boss Bo, Madam, you must be careful."

Seeing this, Su Yutang forced a smile and comforted him, "Don't worry, even Xiao Hengyu dared to go down, so we don't have to be afraid."

Before leaving, Bo Jingzhou walked up to Zhang Suo and told him some things.

Zhang Suo nodded firmly, "Boss Bo, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task."

After Bo Jingzhou finished giving his instructions, Su Yutang and Bo Jingzhou set off together.

Soon, their figures disappeared at the entrance.

It was pitch black below, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Only a few lamps emitted dim light in the darkness, illuminating the way forward.

After entering, I saw a long passage. The passage was narrow and cramped, only wide enough for one person to walk through. There was a faint smell of damp and mold on the walls.

Xiao Hengyu walked in front with a map in his hand, looking cautious. He checked the marks on the map from time to time with the help of the light to confirm the direction of the route.

Su Yutang walked in the middle, and Bo Jingzhou walked at the back.

After walking about thirty meters, they came out of the narrow passage and came to a place that looked like an underground palace.

Su Yutang shone the light above her head around her, and when she did, she couldn't help but gasp.

The ground was covered with the corpses of bats, piled up in all directions. The dense crowding of them made one's scalp tingle.

In addition, there are many dead poisonous spiders, their colorful yet strange shells glowing coldly under the light, also scattered all over the ground.

It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of corpses alone, and the entire ground is almost covered with them.

In the corner, there were ashes from the fire, and it seemed that the previous battle was quite fierce.

Those dead creatures must have been eliminated by the four people who came to hunt for treasure first with great effort.

Su Yutang felt something strange under his feet. He lifted his head and saw that there were indeed several pieces of debris under his feet.

Seeing this, Xiao Hengyu snorted in satisfaction and said, "It seems that those idiots have wiped out everything here. It really saves us a lot of trouble."

Bo Jingzhou glanced at him and said solemnly, "Don't be too happy too soon. This is just the beginning. According to the time they entered, there should be a lot waiting for us later."

Just as he finished speaking, a black unidentified object suddenly flew over like a black lightning, carrying a gloomy aura, and pounced straight towards Xiao Hengyu.

It was moving so fast that in the dim light, only a black shadow could be seen, and it was close in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Hengyu reacted quickly. He suddenly pulled out a knife from his waist, raised his hand and slashed with the knife. With a "swish" sound, the sharp blade accurately cut through the air and instantly cut the flying bat in half.

The chopped-off bat fell to the ground with a buzzing sound, its body splattered, and its black blood was particularly glaring in the silent and gloomy underground palace.

It looks like this thing wasn't completely cleaned up.

Xiao Hengyu's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Let's go and look forward."

Seeing this, Su Yutang and Bo Jingzhou continued to follow. With Xiao Hengyu leading the way ahead, the two felt much more relaxed.

Bo Jingzhou was paying attention to the movements around him while keeping an eye on Su Yutang's situation to make sure she would not encounter any danger.

As they continued to walk deeper into the underground palace, the air around them became increasingly cold and damp, and the pungent stench of decay became stronger and stronger, as if something had been rotting in the darkness for a long time.

Faintly, you can hear some strange noises, like something wriggling in the dark, or like the whistling of wind passing through a narrow gap, which makes people feel cold on their backs and creepy in their hearts.

After walking for a while, there was a fork in the road ahead. One road meandered to the left, while the other extended to the right. Both roads looked deep and dark.

Xiao Hengyu frowned, stopped, raised the map in his hand, and looked at it carefully under the light.

Su Yutang and Bo Jingzhou also came over, and the three of them gathered together, their eyes fixed on the map.

Su Yutang said, "These two roads lead to the same direction. The one on the right is the waterway, but it's blocked here. We should go from the left, which is closer to our destination."

Xiao Hengyu said: "Then let's go to the left."

At this moment, a strange sound came again from the passage on the left, as if something was approaching them quickly.

Everyone was stunned, and Xiao Hengyu's face instantly became even gloomier. He raised his foot and was about to move forward to find out what was going on.

Suddenly, Bo Jingzhou said, "Wait!"

After saying that, he quickly reached out and pulled Xiao Hengyu's arm back, stopping him from moving forward.

Then, Bo Jingzhou quickly took out a torch from his bag, lit it with a lighter, and threw it forward with force.

The next second, with a whoosh, a fire started in front, and the raging flames instantly illuminated a small area in front.

At the same time, the insects surging in the dark seemed to be stimulated by something. They all crawled out frantically and fled in all directions in dense groups.

Some of the insects began to crackle and burn as soon as they came into contact with the flames, and fell to the ground in an instant. After struggling for a few times, they stopped moving, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning.
