The Half-Buddha Statue had indeed been hollowed out.
Bai Xiaoyi's ethereal form passed through the stone wall, entering the interior of the statue.
About ten meters inside the wall, Yi Lin's "sight" suddenly cleared.
In front of Bai Xiaoyi lay a passage whose destination was unknown.
The passage wa crudely carved, as if dug out by an excavator, just wide enough for one person to pass through.
Electrical wiring, pulled from somewhere, ran along the passage walls, extending into the depths.
Above the passage, old, energy-saving LED bulbs hung sporadically, providing a limited source of light.
Yi Lin noticed several exhaust windows around the tunnel, with the shadows of fan blades moving inside.
"The amenities here might look old, but considering the difficulty of excavation, it couldn't have been completed in a short time. It seems this is one of the Dawn Church's secret bases, and it's been here for several years."
