Chapter 688: Jackdaw’s Pain!

Bai Xiaofei returned to the inn with an uneasy stomach, thinking about how he could resolve his financial issues . However, this place wasn’t Starnet, and he could not come up with any ideas .

“Heh, it seems I’ll have to live off my wives . ” With a long sigh, Bai Xiaofei made a ‘tough’ decision .

As he stood at the door planning the conversation, it was abruptly opened from the inside, followed by a frantic Leng Liuying, who crashed into Bai Xiaofei’s arms .

“Don’t you know to knock on the door when you come back?!”

Rubbing her forehead, Leng Liuying glared at Bai Xiaofei . Meanwhile, the latter ended up even worse . She was hit only on the forehead while he was hit on the nose…

“You’re blaming me? Why are you in such a hurry at night? You have a little lover to see?!” Bai Xiaofei refused to be outdone and retorted sharply .

“Alright, cut it out! We have something more important right now,” a serious Leng Liuli stopped Leng Liuying, who was about to retort .

“What’s wrong?” Bai Xiaofei frowned in confusion . He rarely saw such a serious expression on her .

“There was an incident with Jackdaw . They brought back some very important news and plan to make it public . Didn’t you notice that there was no one below when you returned?”

Her words struck Bai Xiaofei into realization . He had just wondered why the inn was so cold and lifeless today .

“We wanted to wait for you to come back, but there wasn’t even a shadow after half a day, so we were about to go and have a look . But now that you are back, we can save a lot of trouble . ”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei immediately understood . Blackie jumped off his shoulder and the appearances of the triplets changed…

The Jackdaw group’s place was not far away . When the group arrived, however, let alone the inn, even the outside were crowded, where the wind and snow were automatically ignored by everyone .

Nothing was more important than intel at the moment!

“Brother Feng!” a shout rang out from the crowd .

Looking in that direction, Bai Xiaofei saw three familiar faces .

“Big Brother Han San, I didn’t expect to see you here again!”

Greeting Han San who was rushing over enthusiastically, Bai Xiaofei made a gesture of silence to the three sisters .

“These three are…”

“My wives . ” Bai Xiaofei didn’t mean to hide it at all and was even a little proud when he said this, resulting in the triplets feeling warm in their hearts . It was a simple happiness for them to be introduced like this .

“My brother is so blessed!” At first glance, the figures of the three sisters looked almost the same, and Han San knew the tradition of the Snow Kingdom . Therefore, he was quick to label Bai Xiaofei as ‘abundantly happy . ’

“You flatter me, brother . By the way, do you know what Jackdaw is up to?” With some expectations, Bai Xiaofei steered the topic to his concerns . After all, he had missed out quite a lot of things .

“You asked the right person . I watched them withdraw from the mountain!” Han San patted his chest, saying what Bai Xiaofei wanted to hear the most . “Let me tell you, Brother Feng, this Holy Snow Mountain is truly formidable . If you are unsure, do not go in . There is an Emperor Rank beast inside!”

Han San’s expression was as exaggerated as could be, just like he had seen the magical beast with his own eyes .

“The Jackdaw Mercenary Group sent two whole branches this time, and the Fifth Team that arrived today was native to the Snow Kingdom, a very experienced team . Yet, they were nearly annihilated in the cave this afternoon . Only their two team captains and some elites escaped, the rest all died inside!”

Han San grew increasingly emotional the more he spoke with a hint of fear on his face . He had initially planned to try his luck this afternoon, but now it seemed that he was lucky not to have gone in…

At that information, Bai Xiaofei was surprised .

He had seen Emperor Rank magical beasts . The kind of soul-crushing power they showed really could make a person despair . He could also guess why Jackdaw wanted to gather so many people .

“Finally!” someone exclaimed .

The noise around came to an abrupt end . All eyes gathered on the stage of the second floor where two people with dignified expressions entered everyone’s field of vision .

Those two were no strangers to Bai Xiaofei – Jackdaw and Qiu Feng!

“I think you all know what happened this afternoon . I grieve for my brave brothers, but I will not disappoint their sacrifices,” Jackdaw said and raised his hand . A Recording Eyeball flew up, projecting the video saved inside onto the night sky .

Everyone had thought that they could catch a glimpse of the magical beast in question, but aside from seeing fire, they could only hear shouts and screams from the Jackdaw Mercenary Group .

The video was not long, but in this period, several hundred members were burned to death in batches!

“This is all we have . According to the judgment of our survivors, this unseen enemy has at least the strength of an Emperor Rank . The fire it releases can ignore most shield abilities and cannot be put out by water . Once set on fire, the only way is to cut off the ignited part immediately . ”

Jackdaw said slowly, and the crowd immediately grew chaotic . Most started to retreat .

“This beast is entrenched in a very important fork . From there, we feel a very rich and pure force . If we’ve guessed correctly, it should be an origin mine,” continued Jackdaw when people started to leave .

As soon as he finished, everyone stopped .

An origin mine…

As a necessity, an origin stone had the exchange rate of one to thirty Amethyst Coins . A raw origin mine was worth at least seven to eight times as much Amethyst Coins .

Moreover, no one could empty an origin mine alone . Therefore, as long as the magical beast was killed, everyone present would get a piece of the pie!

“ I stand here today and say this in the hope that we can unite . Our Jackdaw Mercenary Group alone is not enough to take down an Emperor Rank magical beast . Only when everyone joins hands can we have a chance at victory,” Jackdaw said solemnly, but there was no response .

Are you kidding? Even the elites you recruited from all over the continent were wiped out . You want to push us toward death?

Just when everyone thought that Jackdaw was wasting his words, he suddenly laughed, his laughter cold and full of irony…
