The Missing Companions
"Big brother, shall we go?" Zheng Shi'an came over with a smile.
"Mm." Bi Fan put away the token and smiled with satisfaction as he held the Willow Leaf Flying Knife he had just seized.
This was a Chaos Exotic Item worth a fortune. Su Bai was still missing a weapon, so it was perfect for him.
At the thought, his expression suddenly changed. He turned to Zheng Shi'an. "Did you send word to everyone to come over?"
The latter nodded instinctively. "I did. I sent it right at the start." Then, as if realizing something, he froze and said, "They still haven't come over..."

Bi Fan nodded without a word.
What puzzled him was this: given Mo Tian and the others' strength, what kind of adventure group could have taken them all
