"Back to my lord, lunch will be in half a quarter of an hour. I need to organize myself. You see..."

When Bai Sanyi heard that Chen Ning asked him to chat alone, he was naturally excited, but he felt somewhat helpless when he thought that he still had things to do.

"That's it, then it doesn't matter if I wait for you for a while... Did you just talk about lunch?"

Chen Ning didn't mind waiting a little longer. He knew very well that these two days would be his free time.

This is a good thing for him. Maybe within these two days, he can find a better way to destroy the lair of the Fire Temple in one fell swoop.

What Chen Ning was speechless about was that it was already evening, but he was still having lunch?

"Yes, my lord, because after this meal, the miners have to continue working for six hours, and then there is a solid food supper."

"...I understand, go ahead and do your work. I won't disturb you for now. I'll take a look around by myself." Chen Ning was speechless for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Thank you, sir. You can go around as you like. I'll arrange the food. It will only take about a quarter of an hour."

"By the way, can I go underground and have a look?" Chen Ning suddenly asked again.

"Of course you can. If you go forward, you will see the underground entrance when you reach the border. But don't forget to go in the direction of the palace, otherwise you will be punished, and in severe cases, you will be killed on the spot." Bai San nodded directly.

There is nothing special about the underground tunnels for those who live in the main hall. Those with some status will only move around in the completed area and will not go to the construction site area at all.

Chen Ning nodded, and then looked in the direction pointed by Bai Shan. A gravel road was trampled to light, and after about a kilometer, it reached a dark cliff wall.

This cliff is actually the real cliff at the entrance of the underground cave. The dark color shows that it has been burned by high temperature flames. It is obvious that a volcano erupted here countless years ago.

The area where Chen Ning and the others are now is the original boulder solidified by magma. It can be said that the density of the stone here is very high, making the space here very solid.

Chen Ning has always refrained from using his senses, because he is afraid that there are some special surveillance methods or formations here, which will bring trouble to himself.

Moreover, Chen Ning also knew very well that with such density of volcanic rocks, his perception would be weakened by most of it. He estimated that if he probed into the mountain, he would be able to explore about three to four hundred meters.

Without letting Bai San continue to follow, Chen Ning walked directly along the path to the end of the cave. He soon saw a cave entrance, and in the corner of the cliff around the cave entrance, there was a long piece of gravel piled up.

The entrance to the cave was very spacious, about five meters high and three meters wide. After walking down a few meters, Chen Ning discovered that there were two rails in the center of the passage, which were obviously used to transport gravel outwards.

The cave is not straight down, but a spiral path, which ensures that the slope is not too steep.

Chen Ning turned around three times and went down to a depth of fifty meters before reaching a flat position. This was a large square space, estimated to be more than 200 square meters and more than five meters high. There were some seats piled with stones. Leaning against the wall, there were some scattered clothes and some broken iron tools.

This space is square and square. Except for the side where Chen Ning entered, the other three stone walls have two or three exits to the distance.

Chen Ning was also curious as to why the space of the Fire Temple was still expanding downwards even though it was clearly sufficient. It must not only be for the purpose of living more spaciously.

Chen Ning was just about to choose a cave entrance to enter and investigate when he heard noises coming from one of the caves and people moving towards it.

Chen Ning guessed that it was time for those workers to have lunch.

As the crowd approached, Chen Ning also heard the conversation of this group of handymen.

"When will this day end? I really don't know which of us will die next time."

"Yes, one person died in the past one or two months, but for some reason recently, one person dies every three to five days."

"I've heard that miners in other districts are also in the same situation as us."

"It's really evil. Li Si, who was the strongest among us, suddenly fell ill and died!"

"Okay, stop talking. If the manager listens, we will have to work overtime again, and we may die more."

A group of people came one after another and soon arrived at the exit, just in time to see Chen Ning standing here.

In an instant, each of these handymen closed their mouths, stopped with a hint of fear and trepidation, and bowed to Chen Ning.

Chen Ning was very interested in the conversations of these people. People seemed to be dead here, and people often died mysteriously recently.

"You just said another person died. Where is that person?"

Chen Ning didn't introduce himself, just released a bit of pressure and asked in a cold voice.

There are more than a hundred people in this group of handyman miners, and a dozen of them are in the Qi refining stage, and the rest are in the innate realm.

Chen Ning's casual release of breath was enough for more than a hundred people to feel the weight of Mount Tai.

He is indeed a big shot!

These handymen didn't know anything about the clothing of senior personnel in the Fire Temple, so they didn't know Chen Ning's specific position. Anyway, just this powerful aura was enough to awe them in their bones.

"H-Sir, the dead man has been taken away by the steward."

A team leader of Qi Refiners responded cautiously despite the pressure.

"Where were you taken?"

Chen Ning asked further.

"This little guy doesn't know. Every time someone dies, a steward will come forward to take the person away." The team leader replied quickly.

Chen Ning felt slightly regretful. He was also curious about how people died. With his medical skills, it should be easier to detect the cause of death.

Chen Ning thought for a while, these people should have no chance to betray themselves, so he asked directly; "I didn't know the situation outside before, but you guys often died mysteriously just now. I am very curious about this matter, tell me the specific situation. "

Chen Ning just became curious about this matter, and he definitely didn't care about the life and death of these people in the Fire Temple.

If something was killing people in the Fire Temple, it would be too late for him to be happy, and he might even secretly help them.
