After Cold Flare unconsciously voiced his taunt, the rest soon began to realize there were indeed a few people missing from the original number.
Aside from Emberwolf, there were actually a few more people who could not be found.
"Oh right, I forgot to enable the feature." At this mont, Xu Feng suddenly realized sothing and turned on a few features back for his raid mbers.
A few seconds later, the others ca to a realization that around 20 players had their nas grayed out in the list, equivalent to saying that they had been eliminated from the raid.
They were probably still hovering around in their ghost-like forms, but they were no longer capable of helping the battle.
"How did so many players die?" Gentle Wind furrowed her brows, finding these numbers to be abnormal.
Even Stormspear from the Storm Runners Adventure Team nodded his head in agreent. No matter how badly they played due to a new environnt, they can't possibly be that terrible, right?
Stormspear was one of the few unaware of the undercurrent that had been happening, so he gazed at Xu Feng. "Was there sothing wrong with the information and data given to them?"
Hearing that question, Xu Feng shook his head and found a pri spot to stand on.
He clapped his hands a few tis, bringing everyone's attention to him.
Once everyone was focused on him, Xu Feng announced, "For those who have died, you all can relax. They died because they were part of the sabotage group who wanted to ruin the raid."
"A sabotage?"
"The rumors were actually real?"
"Hot damn, soone really wanted to sabotage the raid."
"And these people actually paid real money to sabotage? I want that kind of sabotage too!"
The crowd went into an uproar, especially those who were the lower-ranking mbers who weren't privy to much confidential information.
Simultaneously, OneMandia's stream was currently exploding in the comnt section, with many going bunkers at the revelation that the death count was filled with saboteurs.

Browsing through the fast-paced comnt section, OneMandia saw a surge of activity and the response was going in a good direction.
Naturally, there were still so users talking badly about Xu Feng's conduct.
Things such as why he spent ti dealing with saboteurs and not focused on the raid. Another most common being that he was stalling to generate more inco and publicity.
However, OneMandia had no intention of clarifying or even entertaining these comnters.
Without a doubt, these people should have been bought by the Reaver Guild or those jealous of the Vanguard Guild's current popularity.
By addressing them, it ant that he would give them a spotlight to echo their negativity further.
'Hmph, keep on comnting like fools. I have the comnts saved and will investigate it once the raid is over.' OneMandia sneered inwardly.
While this was ongoing, Cold Flare raised another doubt, "Wait, so if the Sky Hunters Adventure Team and Astral Guild were the saboteurs, then why are they alive?"
Cold Flare then pointed at the few survivors such as Soulstrider and Spirit Fang.
"What are you pointing your fingers at?" Soulstrider coldly snorted and continued, "I've been doing my duty in clearing the oppressive pillars. If you don't believe , then Blake from the Solaris Guild can vouch for ."
"Yes, that's the truth," Blake nodded his head and vouched for the latter almost instantaneously.
Stupefied, Cold Flare was starting to get confused by the situation. So were they saboteurs or not?
Alas, he couldn't get to ask further when his boss, Moon Arrow halted him.
"Since the saboteurs and oppressive pillars have been cleared, can we still proceed with the raid?" Moon Arrow inquired, clearly skeptical of their success rate.
If a raid required 100 players, they were not shortened by a large margin already. It would be ridiculous to not doubt whether they could proceed any further.
As Moon Arrow brought up a crucial point, Xu Feng didn't falter and laughed in amusent.
"How's the viewers' reacting?" Rather than replying to Moon Arrow directly, Xu Feng turned to OneMandia.

"The viewers are asking about if you can succeed or not." OneMandia hurriedly replied after glancing at the comnt sections.
"Very well, create a money poll and have them vote whether we can succeed in the raid of the boss in one attempt or not. The payout rate for failure is 1 to 5 and the success payout rate is 1 to 1." Xu Feng exclaid, taking the opportunity to create a gambling poll.
anwhile, the raid mbers soon felt their faces twitching at Xu Feng's conduct.
A gambling poll at this mont?
Was he being serious right now?
Their doubts were soon cleared, given that OneMandia wasted no ti in creating the poll, going as far as clamoring for it like so third-rate pop-up advertisent that people usually exit out imdiately.
"Co on, the poll will end in 5 minutes, so make sure to place your vote. The payout rate is 1 to 5 for failure!" OneMandia exclaid excitedly, almost as if he was praying for the raid to fail.
Little did they know, OneMandia had bet his own inco on the successful raid outco.
'Hmph, as if I will believe Guild Leader Lin Feng is that generous. He's definitely confident so the payout failure rate is just a bait to steal more money from the viewers.' OneMandia would be a fool to believe Xu Feng had a sudden change of heart.
As the scene turned very lively despite the grim atmosphere, Zhao Xin grabbed Zhao Kai aside and asked, "Is your Guild Leader that short of funds? Also, where is your friend, Cool Wind?"
"He's busy earning so extra money…" Zhao Kai responded awkwardly, his gaze subtly looking at Xu Feng.
