Time ticked by, second after second.
Before long, it was late at night, and then, in the blink of an eye, noon the next day.
The Su Family disciples formed teams of three, taking turns exploring the ruins.
"Su Nan, it looks like we won't gain anything this time," someone in one of the teams sighed.
