At three o'clock in the morning, Gu Tao got up to use the bathroom.
"Still not back?"
He had deliberately stayed over at Xin Chen's place today. Although the conditions were poor, he couldn't resist the burning fire of gossip. He waited until 11:30 p.m. and noticed that guy hadn't returned. He assumed they might have gone to a movie, so he didn't pay much attention. But now, this guy still wasn't back, and that was a big problem. Normally, he wouldn't stay out past midnight, especially since it was Friday, and they had a guild activity that night. There were only two reasons that could make that guy give up a team dungeon.
The first was that he'd met his demise, perhaps by accidentally provoking something terrifying, like accidentally rousing a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox or a Kirin, those swift-wind creatures. According to the legends, any mere Earth Immortal was like a mere chick in front of such beings; if encountered, they'd be done for.
