The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

Su Yutang's face turned pale when she saw the scene in front of her: "What kind of insects are these? Why are there so many of them!"

Those bugs were as long as my forearm, black all over, and the way they squirmed was disgusting.

She took a few steps back, getting closer to Bo Jingzhou, and Bo Jingzhou subconsciously reached out and pulled her in.

Xiao Hengyu was also startled by the sudden swarm of insects, but he quickly recovered and said with a frown, "Those idiots came in so long in advance to clear the passage, and this is what they ended up with?"

At this time, Bo Jingzhou said: "These insects are difficult to kill. Although they are afraid of fire, they cannot be burned to death. As long as you give them a quarter of an hour, even if only a little bit of their body is left, they can revive and regenerate a complete body."

Su Yutang: "There are actually insects that can be resurrected after death?"

Bo Jingzhou nodded: "Well, this is due to the special genes in their bodies. However, this insect is highly poisonous. Be sure not to get bitten or entangled by it when you go there later."

After listening to this, Xiao Hengyu turned to look at him with a hint of surprise on his face. He asked, "How do you know so much? Have you seen this thing?"

"Since you're here to search for treasure, you should do your homework in advance."

Seeing that the torch was about to go out, Bo Jingzhou ignored him and looked at Su Yutang and said, "Let's go, follow me."

Xiao Hengyu gritted his teeth. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Bo Jingzhou's attitude, he knew that now was not the time to worry about these things.

He looked at the insect corpses still emitting green smoke on the ground, then looked at the dark passage ahead, took a deep breath, and followed the pace of Bo Jingzhou and Su Yutang.

After walking for a while, I finally got away from those disgusting bugs and no longer heard any strange sounds around me.

However, the rare silence around at this moment did not let everyone relax their vigilance. Instead, they felt that there might be a greater crisis lurking beneath this calm.

The two of them had unknowingly changed positions, with Bo Jingzhou walking in front and Xiao Hengyu following behind.

Suddenly, Bo Jingzhou, who was walking in front, stopped and stopped walking.

This sudden pause made Xiao Hengyu, who was following behind, feel very strange. He frowned and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Bo Jingzhou did not respond to him, but made a hushing gesture to him with a serious expression and hushed him.

He kept his eyes fixed vigilantly in a certain direction ahead, as if he had noticed some unusual movement there.

Seeing this, Xiao Hengyu was angry in his heart, but he had to shut his mouth. However, there was anger in his eyes and he gritted his teeth secretly, wondering what kind of tricks Bo Jingzhou was up to.

He waited for several minutes, and just when his patience was about to run out, Bo Jingzhou suddenly walked in one direction with light footsteps.

He moved carefully, without making any unnecessary noise.

Su Yutang and Xiao Hengyu held their breath and said nothing.

After walking for a distance, Bo Jingzhou stopped in front of a wall. The wall looked no different from the surrounding stone walls, except that there seemed to be some faint scratches on the wall, which could not be seen without careful observation.

Bo Jingzhou gently touched the scratches with his hand, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

Xiao Hengyu came forward and asked in a low voice, but with dissatisfaction: "What did you find out? Stop being so mysterious and tell me!"

Su Yutang also stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything wrong with these scratches?"

Bo Jingzhou then raised his head and said solemnly, "Well, this is an ancient mechanical device. It's obvious that the mechanism here has been triggered by someone, and these marks are exactly what those sharp weapons left behind. In other words, when the mechanism was triggered, the hidden sharp weapon or some lethal object was ejected, leaving marks on the stone wall."

He paused, then continued, "But what I find strange is that if someone triggered the mechanism here, there should be corpses or debris left behind. After all, once this mechanism is activated, the lethality must be enormous, and it would be almost impossible to escape unscathed. But I just came all the way here and found nothing. Don't you find it strange?"

Xiao Hengyu frowned: "What do you mean?"

Bo Jingzhou looked at him and said, "Judging from these scratches, if someone triggered the mechanism and died here, there would definitely be traces left, but now we don't see any wreckage, unless..."

"Unless what?" Xiao Hengyu asked.

Bo Jingzhou lowered his voice and said, "Unless someone has set a trap and wants us to be killed without a complete body."

He paused and said in a deep voice.

"I suspect someone knew about the traps here in advance. After triggering them, they cleared away the bodies or debris. They deliberately created a false sense of security to lure us deeper, leaving us defenseless and triggering the next trap, ultimately killing us."

After hearing this, Xiao Hengyu frowned even tighter and said impatiently, "What do you want to say?"

He really couldn't stand Bo Jingzhou's slow analysis. He felt that every second of delay would bring the treasure further away from him, but he also felt that what Bo Jingzhou said made sense, which made him more and more annoyed.

Bo Jingzhou looked at Xiao Hengyu and said seriously, "What I want to say is that there are more hidden traps ahead that could kill us at any time. Moreover, the person who arranged all this is probably watching us in the dark, waiting for us to fall into their trap. We can't go any further."

Xiao Hengyu: "Not continuing? Do you mean to go back the same way?"

Bo Jingzhou nodded: "That's right."

Xiao Hengyu snorted coldly, "Bo Jingzhou, you're not stalling for time, or making up an excuse not to go treasure hunting, are you?"

As he spoke, Xiao Hengyu's face had turned cold.

Bo Jingzhou frowned and said calmly, "If I didn't want to go, I wouldn't have come down with you."

Xiao Hengyu said angrily, "But we're already here, and you want me to go back? What else can you say if it's not that you don't want to go back?"

Bo Jingzhou looked at him, his tone still calm: "I am saving your life. If you insist on going forward, that will be a dead end."

Xiao Hengyu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said, "We haven't even continued yet, how can you be so sure?"

At this time, Su Yutang, who had been standing nearby, spoke up. She looked at Xiao Hengyu and said, "I believe him, Xiao Hengyu. Now we are all on the same boat. Since we entered here together, our lives are together. We are not the kind of people who are afraid of death, but we will not joke with our lives either."

She knew that Bo Jingzhou would not make such a decision for no reason, and he must have sensed a great danger, so she stood up to support Bo Jingzhou without hesitation, hoping that Xiao Hengyu could also calm down and think carefully about the current situation instead of acting impulsively.

After hearing what Su Yutang said, Xiao Hengyu was slightly stunned. The anger in his heart subsided a little, but he was still a little unwilling. Seeing that the treasure was so close, he was unwilling to give up.

He looked at Su Yutang and Bo Jingzhou, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Just because of a few words from you, you want me to give up? I won't give up. The treasure is just ahead. Maybe I can find it in a few more steps. If I go back now, won't my trip be in vain?"

Su Yutang frowned: "You mean, even if you die, you have to continue?"

Xiao Hengyu looked at her with a firm look in his eyes: "That's right."
