888 Missed the Last Chance

Lu Dajiang and the others discussed for a while, but there was nothing they could do. It was as if there was no solution at all. They could not help Liu Yan and the Origin Territory at all.

Seeing that they couldn't come up with a solution, Wei Feng sighed helplessly and said, "This matter is too troublesome. We can only think of a way later. Fortunately, the Origin Territory has the protection of the territory barrier for the next ten days. It's temporarily safe. We still have time to help Liu Yan and the others think of a way."

Lu Dajiang also nodded and said, "That's right. Moreover, the experts of our Team Lighthouse have to be busy recovering their combat strength and then encircle and suppress the Flame Demon King to complete the S-grade mission. It is the most important thing at the moment. I reckon that Luo Rui and the others won't be in a hurry to deal with the Origin Territory. I'll try to persuade them. There might be a turning point in this matter."

After some discussion, they could only plan further.

At this moment, an exclamation came from outside the stone house.

"Captain, bad news. Luo Rui and the others have just returned. The Flame Demon King is already dead. We can't complete the S-grade mission."

When Lu Dajiang and the others heard this, their expressions immediately changed, and they opened the door.

Outside the door was an expert from Lighthouse Academy who had specially come to inform Lu Dajiang and the others.

"How did the Flame Demon King suddenly disappear?" Wei Feng said in surprise.

Lu Dajiang was also puzzled. "Although the Flame Demon King was seriously injured, it was not fatal. How did it suddenly die? "

"I don't know either. Captain and the others are informing all the core members to discuss this matter." The expert in charge of informing them said with a blank expression.

Lu Dajiang and the others looked at each other in confusion. They could only hurry to the lord main hall.

Not long after, in the lord main hall.

The core members of Team Lighthouse gathered again.

At this time, the experts of Team Lighthouse received the news from Luo Rui and were discussing this matter with faces full of disbelief.

"What's going on? Why is the Flame Demon King suddenly gone?"

"Doesn't that mean we can't complete the S-grade mission and get the generous rewards?"

"Although we failed this time, we still have a chance to complete the S-grade mission later. Doesn't that mean we don't have a chance now?"

"Could it be that our Lighthouse Territory can only miss the generous rewards of this S-grade mission?"

"It's said that if you can't obtain the generous rewards of S-grade and above missions, a territory can't grow."

"Luo Rui, are you sure you've investigated thoroughly? Could it be that the Flame Demon King didn't die and just escaped?"

"Yeah, have you investigated it thoroughly? If they escape, we can still find them and kill them. There's still a chance."

...

At this time, the captain of Team Lighthouse, Luo Feng, also arrived.

Luo Feng's face darkened when he heard the news.

As the captain of the Team Lighthouse, Luo Feng knew more about the importance of the bountiful rewards of this S-grade mission.

The reward of this S-grade mission could not only increase the strength of the Lighthouse Territory, but it was also extremely crucial.

Without the generous rewards of this S-grade mission, the Lighthouse Territory would never be able to become a powerful territory.

All of this was because one of the most important rewards of an S-grade mission was that it could increase the potential of the territory.

Only when the territory's potential increases would it have the chance to become a powerful territory in the future!

Luo Feng was clear that only by obtaining the S-grade mission reward would the Lighthouse Territory have a chance to grow and become a top territory. In the future, it might even grow until it passes the final trial and leaves the sixth level of the Tower to head to the higher levels.

If they didn't have this opportunity, no matter how hard they worked and how much they increased their strength, the upper limit of the Lighthouse Territory would still be there.

In that case, no matter how hard the Lighthouse Territory worked, it would only become a little stronger. It would not be able to become a top-tier territory. It meant that no matter how hard the people in the Lighthouse Territory worked, they would only be able to survive. They would never be able to leave the sixth level of the Tower.

The sixth level of the Tower was like a cage to them!

At this moment, Luo Feng's expression was also somewhat serious as he looked at Luo Rui and said, "Luo Rui, are you sure you've investigated thoroughly? Did the Flame Demon King leave, or is he dead?"

The rest of Team Lighthouse's experts also looked at Luo Rui with nervous expressions.

If the Flame Demon King escaped and left Flaming Mountain...

They could also find the Flame Demon King and kill him.

Although it would be hard to find the Flame Demon King in the huge Wind Barrier, there was still a chance.

However, if the Flame Demon King were already dead, they would have no chance at all.

But Luo Rui said with a face full of certainty at this time. "Don't you know my perception ability? I couldn't be careless about this matter. After arriving, I carefully sensed it. Not only did I not find the aura of the Flame Demon King, but I also found signs of the Flame Demon King's blood essence and soul dissipating not far away from where we surrounded the Flame Demon King. It was obvious that the Flame Demon King had already died. It was completely dead, and its soul had dissipated. Moreover, according to the signs on the spot, the Flame Demon King should have died within a minute after we retreated. It seems that the moment we left, the Flame Demon King died completely."

When the experts of Team Lighthouse heard this, their expressions immediately turned ugly.

From the looks of it, the Flame Demon King was indeed dead.

At this moment, Lu Dajiang thought of something and said hurriedly, "According to Luo Rui's meaning, this Flame Demon King died less than a minute after we left. In such a short time, it should also be counted as us killing the Flame Demon King, right?"

Everyone was stunned and immediately reacted.

It was true. They had left for less than a minute, and the Flame Demon King had died.

In that case, the Flame Demon King might be seriously injured and died because of their siege. They had killed it, so the S-grade mission should have been completed.

"I'll go check it out and find out," said Luo Feng.

Luo Feng headed to the mission hall.

Everyone waited in anticipation.

Not long after, Luo Feng returned with a gloomy expression. He looked at everyone and said, "Not only did we fail to complete the S-grade mission to clear the Flaming Mountain, but this S-grade mission has also disappeared. It means the Flame Demon King was not killed by us. Instead, it has already been killed by someone else."

"This..."

In the hall, the many experts of Team Lighthouse were suddenly confused. They did not understand what was going on.

"It seems that not long after we left, someone took the opportunity to kill the Flame Demon King," Luo Rui analyzed.

"This is the only possibility."

"What a pity. We should have continued fighting back then. Perhaps we would have had a chance."

"Yeah, the Flame Demon King looked very powerful at that time, but it might have been an arrow at the end of its flight. It wouldn't have lasted for long. We just had to hold on a little longer, and we would have been able to finish the Fire Demon King. "

"Who took advantage of the situation and killed the Flame Demon King? We can't complete the S-grade mission now. This is too despicable."

"If I find this person, I will kill them."
