Chapter 887 - 887 Just One More Step
887 Just One More Step
In the Lighthouse Territory.
After the battle at the Flaming Mountain, especially after the battle against the Flame Demon King, many of the experts of the Team Lighthouse suffered heavy losses and were seriously injured.
After a night of treatment, their injuries had improved, but they still hadn’t recovered. Their combat strength had decreased by quite a bit.
In the meeting hall, the people who were waiting for the collapse were all a little angry at this moment.
They had initially thought that he would be able to complete the S-grade mission this time and obtain a generous reward, allowing the strength of the Lighthouse Territory to improve.
However, they did not expect they would fail at the last step.
In the end, not only did he fail to complete the S-grade mission, but he also suffered severe injuries.
Fortunately, no other territories knew the coordinates of the Lighthouse Territory and could threaten it. The Lighthouse Territory was still safe for the time being.
“We’re so unlucky. I’m just one step away from completing the S-grade mission. I’m just short of killing the Flame Demon King.”
“That’s right. The Flame Demon King has already been heavily injured by us. It won’t be long before we take it down. For some reason, the Flame Demon King’s strength has suddenly increased significantly.”
“Looks like we underestimated the Flame Demon King. We’re not prepared enough.”
“It’s an S-grade mission. Even if it’s an S-grade mission from the novice territory, it’s still difficult. It’s not that easy to complete.”
…
The experts of Team Lighthouse were annoyed at this moment.
Luo Rui sighed helplessly and said, “The main thing was that we were distracted by Liu Yan, so we didn’t dare to attack with our full strength. We were afraid that he would sneak attack us. Otherwise, we would have attacked with our full strength earlier and wouldn’t have given the Flame Demon King a chance. We would have taken it down long ago.”
Luo Rui’s words were throwing the responsibility for the failure to defeat the Flame Demon King to Liu Yan.
At this moment, Lu Dajiang still wanted to speak up for Liu Yan. He could not help but say, “What does this have to do with Liu Yan? They are just guarding against us. It’s human nature. We can’t blame them.”
“Yeah, if it weren’t for the Origin Territory, we wouldn’t have been able to obtain this S-grade mission.”
“If you can’t do it yourself, why are you looking for excuses?”
“This matter indeed has nothing to do with the Origin Territory.”
When Luo Rui heard that Lu Dajiang and the others were defending Liu Yan and the Origin Territory, he could not help but sneer and say, “Guys, although you and Liu Yan are both humans from the Blue Planet, don’t forget that you are all from the Lighthouse Territory. You have to consider the interests of the Lighthouse Territory. Please understand your position.”
“That’s right, figure out your position.”
“We’re all from the Lighthouse Territory. How can we help outsiders?”
“Are you members of Lighthouse Territory?”
“Vice-captain, it’s not good for you to be like this.”
…
For a moment, the Lakonians, Lu Dajiang, and the others were at daggers drawn. The atmosphere was a little tense.
Luo Feng, who had been silent all this while, said furiously, “Enough!”
The quarreling crowd instantly quieted down, clearly afraid of Luo Feng.
Luo Feng wasn’t just the captain of Team Lighthouse. He was also the strongest person on the entire team.
Even Lu Dajiang and the others were filled with respect for Luo Feng, let alone the Lakonian experts.
Luo Feng said calmly, “It’s already happened. There’s no point in arguing so much now. Although we failed this time, our S-grade mission is still there. We’re only one step away from completing the S-grade mission. As long as we rest for a while, we can make a comeback and encircle and annihilate the Flame Demon King again. Next time, we won’t give the Flame Demon King a chance. We’ll attack with all our strength and kill the Flame Demon King. Then, we’ll be able to complete the S-grade mission and obtain generous rewards.”
When everyone heard this, they could not help but agree.
Soon, the core members of the Team Lighthouse were arranged.
On one side, Luo Rui led a few experts and set up a scouting team to go to Flaming Mountain to investigate the situation and movements of the Flame Demon King. The purpose was to investigate Flaming Demon King after yesterday’s battle and its injuries. On the other hand, it was also to monitor the movements of the Flaming Demon King. They could not let the Flaming Demon King escape.
After all, they had to defeat the Flame Demon King to complete the S-grade mission.
If the Flame Demon King escaped, Team Lighthouse would not find the Flame Demon King and kill it. Then, Team Lighthouse would no longer be able to complete the S-grade mission and obtain generous rewards.
Luo Rui and the others were responsible for investigating the Flame Demon King. The other experts of the Team Lighthouse stayed in the Lighthouse Territory to rest and recuperate as soon as possible. They recovered their combat strength and prepared for the next big battle to encircle the Flame Demon King.
Soon, the discussion was over, and they split up.
After the meeting ended, Lu Dajiang and the others gathered alone.
Ning Shanshan was a little annoyed. “I knew it. This Luo Feng isn’t reliable. He said he wouldn’t attack Origin Territory, but it doesn’t count. He still wants to attack Origin Territory.”
Liu Qingrou was a little worried. “Liu Yan and the others are all very talented. Their current strength is far more powerful than when we first entered the sixth level of the Tower. However, they have just entered the Wind Barrier, so their strength has not grown much. If we fight them, they will not be a match for our Lighthouse Territory.”
Wei Feng sighed, “Fortunately, Liu Yan and the others are smart. They retreated in time. Otherwise, if a conflict happened, we really wouldn’t know what to do. On one side is our territory, and on the other is our former junior who saved our lives. We don’t know who to help. ”
When Lu Dajiang heard this, he could not help but smile and say, “Liu Yan and the others are indeed smart. We didn’t even notice Luo Feng and Luo Rui preparing to attack Origin Territory. However, they were able to sense it first and retreat. Finally, Liu Yan has such a secret skill. He managed to escape from our senses. He’s quite capable”
Liu Qingrou nodded. “After all, they are a new territory. With the protection of the territory barrier, they are still safe for the time being. Luo Rui and the others can’t do anything to the Origin Territory, but it’s hard to say in the future. The territory barrier will eventually disappear. According to the time, it will only be a matter of ten days. ”
For a moment, the few of them were somewhat helpless.
They wanted to help Liu Yan but they were people from the Lighthouse Territory. They did not know how to help Liu Yan.
On the other hand, the Origin Territory was too close to the Lighthouse Territory, and the difference in strength was too great.
Even if they wanted to help Liu Yan and the others, they could not do so.
After all, Liu Yan and the others couldn’t abandon Origin Territory and enter the dangerous Wind Barrier to survive alone.
Without the protection of the territory, it was too difficult to survive alone in the Wind Barrier.
In this way, Liu Yan and the rest could not escape.
As long as Luo Rui and the others wanted to fight, the Origin Territory could not escape and could only fight.
However, the difference in strength between the Origin Territory and the Lighthouse Territory was too great.
In Lu Dajiang and the rest’s view, it was impossible for Liu Yan and the rest to be a match for the Lighthouse Territory.
