Several hours after Xu Jingming and the others set out,
Li Hao, Tian Yao, and several others had also gathered somewhere on the ice plains.
Yet after waiting in place for over an hour, they still had not seen Nava and the others.
"What's going on? Why aren't Nava and the others here yet? We can't reach them through the communicators either."
Looking at the communicator's display showing no signal within a 200-kilometer radius, Tian Yao frowned, her willow eyebrows drawn tight.
"Six hours ago, the rankings of all three of them suddenly dropped to zero. They still haven't recovered, so they were most likely killed or trapped somewhere."
Li Hao said thoughtfully as he glanced up at the leaderboard in the sky.
"Killed? Impossible."
Tian Yao instinctively shook her head. "With the strength of those three, they could escape even from a Ninth-Order Upper-Level Metahuman."
"Who knows? After all, no one knows what dangers this Void Shattering Tower is hiding."
Li Hao was noncommittal as he turned around. "Let's go. Whatever happened to them, waiting any longer is just a waste of time. We should continue searching for the passage to the next floor."
Li Hao and the others did not have methods like Xu Jingming's, so even now, they had yet to find the direction of the passage leading to the next floor.
As for Nava and the others' disappearance, Li Hao did not take it too seriously.
After all, he was stronger than Nava. Their assistance would not make much of a difference anyway.
"Three Ninth-Order Metahumans disappearing at once... This is going to be troublesome."
Tian Yao sighed, unease rising in her heart.
One S-rank Ninth-Order Lower Position and two A-rank Ninth-Order Middle-Level Metahumans.
Even for the massive Heaven's Mandate Sect, they were indispensable combat power.
