The blood giant's mournful screams gradually faded away, and his body was burned to ashes by the Soulfire.
The domain he created completely collapsed, the surrounding scenery returned to normal, and the power that had been pressing down on everyone disappeared entirely.
Shen Hao's thinking was correct; the Soulfire was extremely powerful. If an enemy couldn't be burned to death in one attempt, then they could try again.
If the fire is strong enough, anything can be burned to ashes.
"Your enemy died in fear, and you gained 2000 points of Fear Points."
Hearing the system notification, Shen Hao was very happy.
Surprisingly, even after using the Soulfire three times, he still ended up making a profit.
It's like he killed someone, and that person gave him a big gift before they died.
This feels really good.
As the group was freed from their fear, they gradually emerged from their panic and felt a wave of lingering dread. If it hadn't been for the miracle, they would have truly died.
The crimson giant that Possession Wu Cheng had completely disappeared, and everyone looked at Wu Cheng's corpse on the ground.
He had been charred black by the flames and was completely lifeless; he was truly dead.
Everyone was quite annoyed that they had almost been killed by him.
Several people walked over and kicked him hard several times, venting their resentment.
After calming down, someone said, "What exactly was that flame? Was it really a miracle?"
"Yes, if it weren't for those flames, we would all be dead."
"How could it be a miracle? Someone must have saved us. Can a miracle happen twice in a row?"
"It's a miracle precisely because it happened twice in a row!"
"I can't handle this kind of pressure."
Everyone looked at Xia Bing; she was the commander of this operation, and perhaps she knew something.
"I don't know either. I thought one of you had used some special item."
Xia Bing was also full of confusion. She didn't know anything either; she had just thought she was going to die here.
Hearing Xia Bing's answer, everyone was somewhat disappointed.
It seems there's no way of figuring out what the flame that saved their lives was.
Gradually, the joy of escaping death faded, and someone said,
"Team Leader Xia, you've really put us in a terrible situation this time! We almost all died here!"
"Exactly! So many people died this time, we almost suffered a total wipeout, you have to take responsibility."
"We joined the mission because we trusted you, you can't betray us like this."
The crowd began to vent their dissatisfaction on Xia Bing.
After all, they had almost lost their lives just now.
"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. The information from above was wrong."
Xia Bing apologized while simultaneously shifting the blame.
She was also helpless; she thought it would be a simple task, but it ended up like this.
No one could have imagined that Wu Cheng would be Possession something so powerful.
These people came here purely to die.
If the guild had known this, they should have deployed even stronger forces.
"You absolutely have to give us an explanation this time, or I'm quitting!"
"Yes, I quit! I quit!"
"What a lousy guild! Their intelligence is so wildly wrong, they almost killed us!"
We need an explanation!
"Yes, we need an explanation!" Shen Hao joined the crowd, demanding an explanation from Xia Bing.
"We can't just let it go with one sentence saying the intelligence was wrong; we need to show sincerity!"
Shen Hao's voice was loud, and the others noticed him, expressing their agreement.
They all just saw it; Shen Hao was almost killed.
Wu Cheng was already planning to make his move; if the flames hadn't arrived in time, they would have been finished.
Therefore, they still sympathized with Shen Hao; this person was closer to death than they were, and they certainly had reason to be angry.
"You're right, this matter can't be left like this!"
"If I don't get a satisfactory explanation, I will absolutely not participate in any more missions."
"This guild is trash! If they don't give us a satisfactory explanation, we're all leaving!"
Seeing the indignant guild members, Xia Bing had no choice but to say,
"I'm truly sorry, I really didn't expect things to turn out this way."
But don't worry, the guild will definitely treat everyone well.
I will report this incident as soon as possible and come up with a compensation plan to make amends for the mistake.
Xia Bing's words calmed the crowd's anger somewhat.
Although this was indeed very dangerous and resulted in so many deaths, it is still acceptable if sufficient compensation is received.
After all, that's the kind of work they do; all sorts of unexpected things can happen.
Guild intelligence cannot be 100% accurate.
They won't dwell on this too much, but they'll definitely take the opportunity to cause some trouble.
After all, anyone would feel upset in this situation, and it would be a huge loss if you didn't make a scene and demand more compensation.
Before long, Sun Wanli arrived with the other guild members.
Upon seeing the branch president arrive, everyone rushed over to tell Sun Wanli what had just happened, and in the process, they caused a little commotion.
"Chairman Sun, we've risked our lives for the guild, you can't treat us like this!"
"Yes, Chairman Sun, we need an explanation."
Sun Wanli was also very troubled. This time, the guild's intelligence was indeed wrong, and these people had enough reason to cause trouble.
"I apologize to everyone first. The guild's intelligence was wrong, which put everyone in danger. It was indeed our fault."
Please don't get agitated. I will report this matter to my superiors as soon as possible and demand an explanation. I will make sure that no one suffers this injustice for no reason.
All guild members who participate in this operation will receive compensation based on their assigned tasks.
We were wrong to begin with, and I promise that this will never happen again.
Sun Wanli rambled on and on, and after receiving his assurances, the crowd had vented their anger and dispersed.
The Zhongzhou City the Alliance Guild suffered heavy losses this time, losing almost a third of its combat strength.
Sun Wanli felt very heavy-hearted.
But it was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; if it weren't for the mysterious flames that saved everyone's lives, he would have had a very difficult time getting out of this mess.
However, Shen Hao was quite happy. He had thought the mission would be boring, but it turned out to be unexpectedly interesting.
Moreover, he earned over a thousand Fear Points today and could also collect some compensation from the guild.
It looks like a very profitable business.
A week later, Shen Hao received compensation from the Alliance Guild.
They gave him 300,000 yuan in cash.
The main reason is that he was on the periphery when he was carrying out the mission, which was not a very dangerous position, so the compensation was relatively small.
Guild members who directly participated in the operation received more compensation.
In addition, the guild awarded him the honorary title of Gold Member and a banner.
Shen Hao was stunned after learning about the privileges of this Gold Member.
When Gold Member posts content on the Thriller Paradise game forum, a small Gold Member tag will appear.
It's of no use whatsoever.
By the way, you can also enjoy a 10% discount when purchasing game guides, but this cannot be combined with other discounts.
But he is a Class B employee, and he is entitled to a 30% discount.
Therefore, this is a complete waste product.
Fortunately, there was a reward of 300,000 yuan in cash, otherwise Shen Hao would have really wanted to burn them all to death!
Something else happened that day that made Shen Hao happy: he was matched with a new Instance.
He waited a week before he was finally able to enter the Instance.
