Chapter 575- The Scattered Expedition Force (2)
Nine hours into the exploration of the 45th floor, another piece of news came to light, some unknown people hiding their identities, were targeting guilds and stealing the rewards amidst the chaos.
At first, the other guilds ignored it but when they themselves became the next victim, things became more chaotic. It wouldn't have bothered them much if it was just some ordinary treasure; however, if the news were to be believed, the treasure chest had spirit orbs inside them.
An unparalleled treasure like that was a loss that was hard to swallow. Not to mention many guilds had also suffered numerous casualties because of the masked people stirring things up while they were fighting the monsters.
Such reports started coming from everywhere and soon things started going out of proportion. Although the guilds were unable to identify these masked people, they were at least aware that it was the doing of some guild.
