After listening to Chen Yuan's words, Ji Jie's face suddenly turned pale.

Sweats on my forehead and my lips were pursed tightly, and there was obviously a huge fluctuation in my heart.

Xu Ziling looked at her worriedly and couldn't help but persuade, "Chen Yuan, it's almost OK."

"Ji Jie is a girl. She will naturally be a little scared when she goes to the mine for the first time. Why do you always say strange words to stimulate her?"

"Okay, let's not talk about it," Chen Yuan shrugged.

Turning to Ji Jie, he smiled and said, "I encountered too many unexpected situations tonight, my mind was a little confused. I said something unpleasant, don't take it too seriously."

Ji Jie trembled slightly, looked up at him, and nodded slightly.

After a while, I heard a "Gar" sound.

The elevator that the three of them rode slowly landed deep into the mine.

Chen Yuan looked up and found a winding corridor in front of him, with a faint light coming from it.

He took the lead in walking down the elevator and headed towards the corridor.

Seeing him walking away, Xu Ziling turned to Ji Jie and said, "He is a little weird tonight, don't care too much."

Ji Jie shook her head and didn't say anything, but her face was still a little pale.

Xu Ziling did not ask any further, walked down the elevator with Ji Jie and chased after Chen Yuan quickly in the direction of leaving.

The corridor is very narrow, and can allow up to two people to pass side by side.

Walking through the smooth moss, you can hear subtle sounds of water from time to time.

Chen Yuan walked in front alone, while Xu Ziling and Ji Jie followed carefully.

The three of them walked along the winding corridor for five or six minutes, and met more than a dozen dark-faced miners dressed in work clothes one after another.

These people looked dull and did not show any desire to communicate with others. They knocked and beat the mines they had chiseled out, turning a blind eye to the passage of Chen Yuan and the other two.

After another ten minutes, the three of them finally walked out of the corridor and came to a ten-meter-square open space.

Around the open space are seven or eight entrances to corridors leading to different directions.

As I was lingering, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from the intersection in the southeast.

Turning around, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties slowly walking towards the entrance.

He had messy hair, wearing a yellowish work clothes, his skin was sallow and dull, and his face was covered with stubble with a look of carelessness. He said to Chen Yuan and the other two: "You three are the 'mine protection warriors' invited by the company?"

Chen Yuan looked at him and nodded, "Yes, Captain Liu asked us to come down to patrol."

"Parliament?" The middle-aged miner raised an eyebrow and said with a little contempt: "Look at how you look, are you lost?"

As he said that, he pointed to the entrance of a corridor in the northwest corner and said, "This road is 'the site of the incident'. Captain Liu said hello in advance, so there is no need for you to patrol yourself. Other lines are connected to mining areas that are normally started. You just need to patrol these areas."

"I know." Chen Yuan smiled, "We know the rules and will not cause you trouble."

"Just know," the middle-aged miner responded, and flew straight past the three of them and walked towards the entrance of the corridor ahead.

A few minutes later, the sound of footsteps finally drifted away.

Seeing that there were no one around, Xu Ziling lowered his voice and said, "Chen Yuan, will we not investigate the 'different beast'?"

"Check." Chen Yuan's eyes sank slightly, and then said, "You are here to accompany Ji Jie, I will go to the 'site of the incident' to see it'

go."

"What?" Xu Ziling was about to speak.

Ji Jie, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke, "I'll go with you."

Chen Yuan looked up at her and smiled faintly, "Why, I'm not afraid now?"

"It's much better to adapt to the environment." Ji Jie said, "You're right. Most of people's fears come from the 'unknown'. If you understand some things, you may be able to understand them."

"Okay, then follow me," Chen Yuan glanced at her playfully.

The cat stood up, and with a "swoosh", it rushed into the black corridor like an arrow.

Ji Jie's eyes flashed, her body jumped out quickly, and she quickly followed.

"You two wait for me," Xu Ziling was slightly stunned, and had been left far away by the two of them. He smiled bitterly and immediately activated his body to follow.

The three of them were like ghosts in the dark night, swiftly passing through the dark and wet corridor.

After a while, he had already rushed out a hundred meters away.

Chen Yuan was moving forward rapidly, suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice: "Wait, there is a smell of blood."

Ji Jie and Xu Ziling stopped immediately when they heard him say this.

After Chen Yuan's cultivation level was promoted to level F, his six consciousnesses were more than ten times more sensitive than before.

Sniffed in the dark corridor and walked towards an inconspicuous stone wall.

After a while, he came to the stone wall.

He raised his hand to turn on the light of the miner's hat a little, and carefully observed the traces on the stone wall. After a moment, his eyes sterned, "It's this."

"What does it mean?" Xu Ziling couldn't help asking.

Chen Yuan did not answer immediately, and reached out to gently stroke the dark red marks on the stone wall.

After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "If I guess correctly, this is the place where the workers were killed."

“What…what?”

After hearing what he said, Xu Ziling and Ji Jie's faces changed in a terrifying mood.

Chen Yuan looked around the two of them, turned around and looked at the stone wall, and then said, "Look, most of the surrounding stone walls are smooth and flat, but this stone wall is covered with claw marks, and there are still a large amount of dry blood left around it. From this we can see that there must have been a very fierce battle here."

The two of them approached the stone wall and saw the claw marks and blood stains on it.

Xu Ziling's face was already scared and said in a trembling voice: "I...I'll go, it's really..."

Chen Yuan squatted beside the claw marks and blood stains for a while and whispered, "From the shape and size of the claw marks, the size of this 'different beast' should not be too big. Since it can attack humans in such a deep mine, it means there must be a 'secret passage' for passing nearby. Let's look for it separately and find clues."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man's low voice suddenly came not far behind him: "Why, are you so interested in the 'different beast'?"

The three of them were shocked and looked back.

I saw Liu Heng taking several mine protection team members, turning out from a cluster of stone edges, stepping on the slippery ground, and strode towards them.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm afraid you won't get used to it on the first day of work, so I'll come down to take a look."

Liu Heng smiled and said without a smile, "You are a little unauthorized now. When signing the contract just now, he kept emphasizing the safety issue to me. Why, now you are not afraid of death?"

"I'm just curious for a moment, there's nothing to make a fuss about," Chen Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, "You're better

Strangely, even though you spent money to treat the 'anti-beast', you promised to protect us well. We were like eating a meal. Even if you Changfeng is rich, you can't do this, right?"

Liu Heng lowered his head and smiled, saying, "So, are you trying to test me if you put forward the 'safe clause'?"

Chen Yuan shrugged, not saying anything, but the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

"Tell me the truth," Liu Heng smiled helplessly and said, "If it weren't for your 'civil and military top scholar' who suddenly decided to stay, the 'safety clause' would be just 'terms' and would not have been implemented so quickly."

"What did you say?" Xu Ziling suddenly heard what he meant and said angrily: "What do you mean is that if Chen Yuan did not stay, you would not consider the life or death of the other five of us?"

"The reason is this, but it is not as ugly as you said," Liu Heng smiled and said, "Chen Yuan is the top scholar in civil and military affairs in Linjiang City. The attention he received is naturally different. If something unexpected happens during the 'work-study and study' period, it will definitely have some bad impact on the 'Changfeng Group'."

"Captain Liu is so serious," Chen Yuan smiled, "I spent a lot of money to invite us over, but I didn't let us do things. Your company's operations are really interesting."

"It's not that you don't do things, but that you don't 'take the initiative to find trouble'," Liu Heng corrected. "When you were in the 'Baisha Mine Cave, as long as you don't take the initiative to go to the 'site of the incident' to find trouble, other mining areas can patrol at will. This will not only ensure your safety issues, but also make the money worth the money."

Chen Yuan immediately heard the mystery of the other party's words, narrowed his eyes and said, "What you just said was 'not to take the initiative to find trouble'. What if the matter gets into trouble, what should we do?"

"How to deal with it," said Liu Heng. "The 'additional column' of the confidentiality clause is very clear. The mine only has the 'reminder obligation' for possible dangers. If the 'different beast' suddenly appears, everyone will have their own destiny."

"I see."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Now that things have come to an end, he finally understands what Liu Heng wants to express.

Because of the "Baisha Mine Cave" incident in the mine, it issued a false task and hired college students as "patrol warriors" to enter the mine.

Liu Heng's wishful thinking was originally intended to let these students rush to the front line and solve the "exotic beast" in time when it appears to ensure that the mining area can maintain normal production. As for students' safety, it is not within the other party's consideration.

The e-level task has certain risks. Even if there are casualties among individual students, as long as the compensation is reasonable, it will generally not cause much impact.

But he did not expect that he would take on this task and chose to stay.

This undoubtedly disrupted Liu Heng's previous plan and forced him to pay attention to the safety of the warriors who started to protect the mines, so as not to cause casualties, and had an excessive impact on the reputation of "Changfeng Mining".

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suddenly felt suspicious.

Since he is a trouble for "Changfeng Mining", why did Liu Heng try every means to persuade himself to stay? Just remove himself directly. Why do you have to do this and negotiate with him about "safety terms"?

In addition, Chen Yuan felt quite surprised during the experience along the way.

Especially the test of Ji Jie just now shows that there must be tricks in this student team.
