Chapter 688: Jackdaw’s Pain! (2/2)

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…
