Damn it!

After confirming that he was completely surrounded by the endless sand scorpions, Su Hai's eyelids twitched...

To be honest, Su Hai had every opportunity to escape before.

But he didn't cherish it at the time...

Now, Su Hai has been completely surrounded by these hideous sand scorpions, so he has no chance to leave calmly...

Of course, if he really made up his mind to leave, he could still do it!

However, he couldn't do that, because if he really did, it would cause a huge commotion...

Su Hai was not far from Hu Xiaobei and the others, so he knew that if he made a big noise on his side, it would definitely attract the other party's attention.

Once he really attracted their attention, it would be impossible to continue tracking, and naturally, there would be no opportunity to know the exact location of the treasure.

"At this stage, for me, the treasure is the most important! The treasure is the most important! The treasure is the most important!"

After muttering this lowly several times, Su Hai completely recovered...

At the same time, he somewhat reluctantly took out a dark black puppet from his inner pocket...

This puppet was only the size of a palm but was carved extremely lifelike...

Looking closely, you would find that the puppet actually has a resemblance of fifty to sixty percent to him...

Its name is Substitute Puppet...

After using it, it can generate a substitute for a short time.

This substitute doesn't have much combat power but can attract attention.

This thing is extremely precious, bought by Su Hai at a high price previously...

Before, Su Hai was really unwilling to use it.

But now, he really cannot but use it...

Because he knows that if he does not use this Substitute Puppet now, he will definitely be discovered by these sand scorpions, and once they are really entangled, the matter will really become quite troublesome...

Using this Substitute Puppet, although it will cause a significant loss, it can really help him avoid being discovered by these sand scorpions.

...

"Once I obtain the treasure, all losses will be completely compensated!"

Murmuring this softly, Su Hai restrained his reluctance and quickly dripped a drop of blood onto the Substitute Puppet...

As the Substitute Puppet began to glow the moment it absorbed the blood, Su Hai quickly placed it aside.

The next second, it began to change.

Soon, it became a person identical to Su Hai.

Of course, although it looked similar, in reality, the gap was really huge.

Because there was not a single bit of vitality on it.

Without such vibrant vitality, this Substitute Puppet would have a hard time deceiving anyone.

But deceiving these sand scorpions with little spiritual wisdom is very easy...

The moment it appeared, countless sand scorpions began to agitate...

Before, when they passed by, they sensed a different kind of atmosphere...

They were very disturbed by this atmosphere, so after sensing it, they quickly gathered over.

Now, sensing it clearly, they quickly surrounded this Substitute Puppet.

Seeing this scene, Su Hai's expression eased slightly.

"Now's the time!"

Quickly muttering this to himself, Su Hai rapidly concealed all his aura.

The next second, he disappeared quickly...

He knew that now all the sand scorpions' attention was attracted by his Substitute Puppet, so he must leave quickly; otherwise, there would really be no chance...

As he moved, these sand scorpions sensed it.

However, they did not care because Su Hai's aura, having been concealed, was not strong, so it did not attract much attention from these sand scorpions.

After running a few hundred meters in one breath, Su Hai stopped and quickly composed himself.

At the same time, he warily turned around and looked a few times.

After ensuring that those sand scorpions would not continue to chase him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, he looked at the Substitute Puppet he had thrown out earlier, and in that instant, his face turned extremely unpleasant.

Because it had been completely devoured at this time.

"The strength of these sand scorpions really seems to be more exaggerated than I imagined!"

Murmuring this coldly to himself, Su Hai continued to compose himself...

Su Hai had thought it through at this moment; if these sand scorpions do not leave, he would definitely not make any movements again.

Because if entangled by them again, he no longer had another Substitute Puppet to use.

While Su Hai made such a resolute decision, not far away, the corners of Hu Xiaobei's mouth curled into a faint smile...

"The Substitute Puppet that guy threw out at the last moment seems a bit interesting!"

Hu Xiaobei didn't know what exactly this puppet was, but seeing the effect it caused, it really seemed interesting!

Compared to ordinary people, Hu Xiaobei's perception ability was ten times, a hundred times sharper...

Because of this, when setting out earlier, Hu Xiaobei had very clearly sensed someone following him.

After confirming he was being followed, Hu Xiaobei thought a lot.

He knew such a tailing must have some plot in mind.

It might even be for the treasure map in his hand...

With this speculation, Hu Xiaobei didn't rush to expose him but decided to play along with the scheme to see what exactly was hidden in his intentions.

Earlier, when the sand scorpions were quite far away, Hu Xiaobei sensed them very clearly.

So, if Hu Xiaobei were willing earlier, he could really easily shake them all off.

But Hu Xiaobei didn't do so because he planned to use these suddenly appearing sand scorpions to test the person tailing him!

Now, the test was over!

Hu Xiaobei also came to a conclusion that this person was indeed not simple.

Knowing this result, Hu Xiaobei's smile grew even wider...

He knew the more this person was not simple, the more interesting the matter would become...

...

"Xiaobei, what are you thinking about so seriously!"

Seeing the faint arc at the corners of Hu Xiaobei's mouth, Lin Ling'er and Gu Xinxin standing beside Hu Xiaobei opened their mouths curiously.

Just now, they were preparing to say something to Hu Xiaobei, but before they could speak, they saw this expression of Hu Xiaobei.

Slightly surprised, they gently opened their mouths.

"Nothing, just zoned out a bit earlier!"

Hearing their curious questioning, Hu Xiaobei glanced at them and softly explained.

The timing wasn't right, so Hu Xiaobei didn't plan to reveal the fact that someone was following them!

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's gentle response, they nodded lightly.

Half an hour later, all the sand scorpions had passed...

Seeing this scene, everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.

Just now, although there was an array to protect, watching such a number of sand scorpions at close distance still sent chills down their spines.

Now, as they entirely passed, everyone's mood once again improved completely.

"Alright, since all the sand scorpions have left, let's continue moving forward!"

Feeling that everyone had recovered, Hu Xiaobei smiled and spoke softly, looking composed.

At the same time, Hu Xiaobei quickly retracted the array he had just set up.

"Okay!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they quickly agreed.

Soon, everyone continued to move forward in great numbers...

At this point, they were all more cautious because they really found this place very terrifying.

Hu Xiaobei sensed their change, a faint smile shadowing the corners of his mouth.

Just as Hu Xiaobei and the others left, the solemn-faced Su Hai appeared...

"My Substitute Puppet is completely destroyed!"

After speaking this coldly, he looked into the distance and continued with venomous words, "Hu Xiaobei, it's because of following you that my Substitute Puppet got destroyed, so I will definitely make you regret it!"

After speaking venomously, he took a deep breath and proceeded forward expressionlessly...

To be honest, Su Hai now wanted to tear Hu Xiaobei to pieces.

But he knew it was still too early now; after completely finding the treasure, it would be most appropriate to do so.

Because he really needed Hu Xiaobei to lead the way now...
