"Your Highness, it's so hot here!" said Ge Hong behind Lin Yi.

"This shows that there is geothermal lava underground, which is very similar to the characteristics of the dragon vein recorded in ancient books, this is really a dragon vein holy land! The dragon tail of the dragon vein of the Zhou Dynasty is legendary!" Guo Pu was very excited, regardless of wiping the sweat off his body, his hands were full of stones, and the lower the soil, the softer the soil became.

"It's far more than I imagined, and I didn't expect that not only was the belly of the mountain hollowed out, but a huge hole was dug into the ground. Although there are tens of thousands of laborers here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete such a huge project without a year and a half, and it seems that they have been planning for a long time! Now I am afraid that we have gone deep into the ground for hundreds of zhang, and the following has become more and more narrow, and there are more and more supervisors, I am afraid that it will be difficult to mix in again, and if we startle the grass and snakes, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for us to approach in the future!" Lin Yi sighed. They had already arrived at a platform, about hundreds of zhang in area, with a lot of earth and stones piled up on it, and there were countless laborers digging around the platform, and Lin Yi and the four of them were also mixed into this group of laborers. The purpose of this group of laborers was to dig the platform wider so that the earth and rocks to be transported could be piled up.

In the soft candlelight, a fiery red light flashed in the middle of the platform, and the heat in the belly of the mountain was originally from this place. As the shouting of the trumpet sounded rhythmically, countless boulders were pulled up by ropes from the mouth of the fiery red light hole.

The earth and rocks below were pulled up directly by ropes, and the entrance to the cave was full of rope-pulling labor, and they could not go deeper into this fiery red hole without the orders of the overseer.

"Wait another half an hour, it's so hot and dry down here, I'm afraid that those hard laborers won't last long and they will have to change shifts, or someone will die of exhaustion, so we just go to the top shift!" Seeing that Lin Yi wanted to leave. Xu Xun said that he and Ge Hong had been secretly inspecting the place for months, so they knew the customs and customs of the place very well, and although the overseers spoke in the dialect of the Di people, he could still understand what they were talking about.

Sure enough, as Xu Xun expected, a moment later, there was a shouting sound from below, and several male prime-age corpses were pulled out of the rope. Lin Yi and the other four hurriedly pretended to carry the soil and stones at the corner of the platform, and unconsciously walked into the overseer who pulled the rope.

"You, and you, you guys go down!" The overseer suddenly pointed to Lin Yi and Guo Pu beside him and a few young adults who were pulling the rope, leaving behind the very lost Xu Xun and Ge Hong, the overseer probably disliked these two people because one was too old and the other was too young.

"Jing Chun, there must be a lot of garrisons down here, I'm afraid that every move will be under the supervision of the overseer, let's still act separately, no matter what the result is, we will try our best to leave this place after an hour!" Lin Yi said to Guo Pu secretly. As soon as I entered this fiery red deep hole, I felt a hot wind blowing in my face, and my mouth was dry.

Along this rope, after a while, Lin Yi finally slipped down this deep cave, but saw that there was a hole in the middle and bottom of this hole, although the ground was all red, but this space was indeed larger than the platform above, and there were many more overseers here than hard laborers, those hard laborers could only engage in carrying boulders and dirt such foul language, while those hundreds of overseers took out tools the size of hoes in their hands, and kept digging on the ground, not knowing what they were looking for.

The hard labor here was not very labor-intensive, and the main task was to tie the red clay and stones dug out by the overseers to the reins that stretched from above.

It's just that the temperature here is really unbearable for ordinary people, there is a high temperature of nearly half a hundred, and even the heat of those overseers can't stand it, and everyone has countless water bottles hanging on their bodies, constantly pouring them all over their bodies, but those hard laborers don't have these treatments, they can only have a wet cloth in their mouths.

Although most of these hard laborers were strong men, they could not last long in such heat, and many of them had dried up their sweat and their hair was scorched by the heat, but they still did not dare to slack off.

Although such a high temperature had no effect on cultivators like Lin Yi and Guo Pu, they didn't dare to attract too much attention. At this time, their faces were as red and hot as monkey buttocks, and from time to time they took out towels and dipped them in water and wiped them on their heads.

Lin Yi's gaze kept glancing at the highest place in this red clay cave, where there were more than a dozen warriors, their eyes were like eagle eyes watching everyone in this cave, and the clothes were obviously different from those overseers, all of them were black power suits, it seemed that these people should be Qi Wannian's henchmen. In particular, a bald man in the middle, motionless as a loose one, shirtless, revealing a large patch of chest hair and a terrifying scar. Lin Yi saw that this person was a little familiar, and after a closer look, he recognized that this person turned out to be the general who fought with Xu Chao yesterday, claiming to be Qi Fei, the right general of the rebels.

Although the place where those people are located is the lowest temperature in this cave, they can maintain their peace of mind and not panic in such a high temperature, which shows that these people are by no means ordinary rebel soldiers, but strong men who have grown up through countless life and death passes.

Although there are nearly 100 laborers here, there are only a few people who can really work hard, after all, the temperature here is too high, and saving life is the first priority. Besides, the overseers here are much gentler, with a lot less whipping and scolding, and it may be that they also have their own labor tasks, and this damn heat, as long as these labor are not too lazy, they have no intention of caring about these labor at all.

But I saw that among the laborers, two of them were working very hard, and most of the boulders in the cave seemed to have been moved out by them. These two people are about one in their thirties and the other in their twenties, their facial features are so similar, and even their movements are the same, if it weren't for the obvious difference in age, they really think they are twin brothers, but they should be brothers.

Although the two of them had already been soaked with sweat, and even stripped naked in the heat, leaving only a pair of obscene pants to cover their bodies, they were not affected by the heat at all, jumping up and down like monkeys, looking very excited, as if they had inexhaustible strength all over their bodies, and even hummed a little song, which was so harsh in this hot cave. The bald man's gaze was probably mostly on the two brothers.

Without these two brothers, the speed here would be at least half as slow. Therefore, the bald man was afraid that he had already suspected the identity of the two brothers, but he was reluctant to break them. The servants regarded the two brothers as saviors, and if they were gone, they would have died several more brothers by this time.

Lin Yi had naturally noticed the two brothers a long time ago, and they were all wrapped around their bodies with a light blue light mask, which mortals couldn't see, but naturally they couldn't escape his eyes. It was this shield that protected them, keeping them out of the heat and dryness of the air.

Lin Yi even felt a strong sword intent on their bodies, but there was not the slightest hostility, these two people must have been in the sword path for decades without breaking it, but I was afraid that their swordsmanship had already reached the realm of sword qi, and their cultivation was even higher than it. Could it be that they are the disciples of the Five Great Sword Immortal Families, but why did they also appear here to wade through the troubled waters. What's even more strange is that not only did they confiscate their cultivator aura, but they also showed such a striking appearance, even ordinary mortals recognized the suspiciousness in them.

There is only one possibility, are these two people stupid? Thinking about the expressions of these two people who were stunned, and the stupid and stupid looks, Lin Yi had already made up his mind that these two people were fools. But it's cute and respectable, and only fools are the happiest people in the world, carefree, Lin Yi even envied them a little.
