trial platform to have anything......” “谁去看看试炼平台发生了什么……” Some people responded quickly, said: „That is not the trial platform haze, is on him, there is magic weapon that covers up the secret......” 有人很快反应过来,说道:“那不是试炼平台起雾,是他身上,有遮掩天机的法宝……” slow Elder realized anything probably, stands up fiercely, the complexion is stunned: „Is he!” 徐长老像是意识到了什么,猛地站起身,面色愕然:“是他！”
