"We were among the first people to come in. Most of the Players who came before us were already dead. There were only more people around today. It seems unlikely anyone's found an item in the Dungeon," Long Aotian said.
Xu Huo studied his expression. It seemed Xiao Ling and the others had already told him about the Dungeon's time trap.
"How did you run into each other?" he asked.
Long Aotian scratched his head. "Don't get me started. I was unlucky and got cornered by a group of people who'd come in earlier. It took everything I had to get away. Then I ran into Xiao Ling and the others, so we decided to stick together."
