Shocked, Gu Luoxin looked around, but Jin Jiuchi had really vanished without a trace! Colors drained from his face and he stuttered out, "I–I swear he was just here seconds ago!"
Shen Nianzu clenched his teeth in frustration. Checking the time, he said, "We still have twenty minutes until the plank to the ship is lifted. Let's search around for ten minutes at most and meet here again!" Gu Luoxin nodded, and they both went in separate directions.
"Da Shen!" Gu Luoxin called out anxiously. "Da Shen, where are you?!"
Meanwhile, Shen Nianzu's eyes were sharply scrutinizing his surroundings. Jin Jiuchi was tall and he had a muscular build that made him stand out from the crowd. It should have been easy for Shen Nianzu to find him, unless he was crouching on purpose or… there was a supernatural element at play here.
