But Ben and Joka weren't the only ones who went underground. Workers entered the tunnels from several main entrances and soon dispersed. He glanced around and, seeing Yuta, Medisha, and Qian silently merging into the crowd, felt a bit relieved. Then he withdrew his gaze and followed Joka ahead in silence.
The place Joka mentioned was far from the surface but not the deepest part of the mine. According to Kevan, the deepest part of the mine connects underground with Jogen Digan; however, Ben thought it might be the uppermost layer of Jogen Digan, the so-called 'Big Beehive'.
The paths there are intricate and widespread; once lost within, it's hard to find an exit. This is one of the biggest barriers between Jogen Digan and the surface world. Moreover, the Big Beehive itself is a place of turmoil, a habitat for many monsters, far from peaceful.
