“Northern Sacred Bears? What are those?” Mo Fan asked blandly.

Jiang Shaoxu and Zhao Manyan were wearing grim faces now. It was obvious by their expressions that the Northern Sacred Bears were a bunch of troublesome people.

“They are a group of mercenaries from northern Europe. Their influence is strong enough to affect some countries. Many countries hire them to do their dirty work.” Xinxia explained, having also heard of the organization before.

The Northern Sacred Bears were mainly active in northern Europe. It was strange for them to travel so far to the east. It seemed like they had long been aware of the Lanyang Earth Core’s existence.

“Mo Fan, the client that hired us to rescue Guan Songdi is from the Northern Sacred Bears,” Lingling relayed after hearing the situation through their communication devices.

It seemed like the Northern Sacred Bears had been looking for the Lanyang Earth Core. However, Guan Songdi, who had been sent here to scout the city, had used up his energy and been trapped in the Sharkmen’s hunting game.

Guan Songdi had found the entrance to the Lanyang Earth Core, but he had not found the Earth Flame Pistil. Mo Fan and his crew happened to be going deeper into the Lanyang Earth Core, so he conveniently tagged along and constantly updated his group about the situation.

“No wonder our communication devices are working now. He must have a military-grade device with him!” Jiang Shaoxu pointed at a watch on Guan Songdi’s wrist that was glowing dimly.

Guan Songdi had transmitted a message to the Northern Sacred Bears after they had discovered the mysterious Feathers. The people of the Northern Sacred Bears had to be on their way. They would be here very soon. The source of this content ɪs N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

“Mo Fan, how dare he set us up? Let’s feed him to the sharks!” Zhao Manyan snarled.

Mo Fan shook his head. He did not seem angry at all.

“We have no means to transport the Earth Flame Pistil, either. It doesn’t matter if they take it. Guan Songdi, our job is done once you leave with your men. You still have to pay us. Do you understand?” Mo Fan said calmly.

Guan Songdi was startled.

Why were they giving up on the Earth Flame Pistil so easily? He had already prepared himself to fight these people after his peers arrived!

“They are the ones who hired you. You can ask your client for the money. You have done your job as long as I’m alive, but are you really going to leave the Earth Flame Pistil to us?” Guan Songdi was having trouble believing Mo Fan.

Guan Songdi knew how strong Mo Fan and his crew were. The Northern Sacred Bears only stood a chance with their advantage in numbers!

“We only came here for the Totem Beast. The Earth Flame Pistil is an unexpected discovery. I wouldn’t mind if you are willing to share a portion of the profit with us. We can cooperate with you and help you take out the Sharkmen outside,” Mo Fan proposed.

“Wel

Guan Songdi did not know what to say.

He was surprised by Mo Fan’s change of attitude. He had waited for this moment to get back at Mo Fan, yet he no longer had any reason to do so.

While they were talking, several figures came in through the cracks above them. Their cultivation was obviously impressive, displaying why they were able to take on difficult jobs given by other countries. They were a powerful organization!

The people were dressed in light armor with the emblem of a vivid golden bear on their chests. It felt like the bear was going to lunge out from their chests at any second under the bright light of the Earth Flame Pistil.

Abulky man with auburn hair was leading the group. His hair and beard were thick and shaggy, hiding his facial features. His nose was twice the size of a normal person, with lots of blackheads on it.

If he draped a brown coat over his shoulders, he would have looked like a ferocious bear standing on its hind legs.

Another man whose hair was like Santa Claus was standing right beside him. His hair was dirty blond. He perfectly resembled a golden bear in the shiny golden armor he was wearing.

The two of them were clearly brothers, looking and feeling very similar.

“They are the Sacred Bear Brothers. They founded the Northern Sacred Bears when they were younger. The organization grew very quickly in northern Europe. It easily took over the Hunter Groups in the region.” Xinxia had heard of the brothers before, and easily guessed who they were after seeing them.

“What a surprise, I didn’t expect we would be robbed one day. These two are very strong, not to mention the others with them,” Zhao Manyan sighed openly.

It took them great effort to find the treasure, but they could not claim it in the end. It could not be any worse!

“We aren’t far from Fanxue Mountain. We can still call for backup,” Jiang Shaoxu whispered.

The Northern Sacred Bears had sent a lot of men. Even though they were more renowned than Fanxue Mountain, Fanxue Mountain had many strong Mages, too. They had a good chance to win if Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue were able to handle the two brothers.

Besides, they did not necessarily have to win. They were in Chinese territory. They just had to hold on until the military arrived. The Northern Sacred Bears would be executed for trying to steal the country’s resources!

“There’s no need for unnecessary sacrifices. These people aren’t easy to deal with,” Mo Fan shook his head, disagreeing with Jiang Shaoxu’s suggestion.

Jiang Shaoxu wanted to say something, but Xinxia shook her head, telling her to stay silent.

They did not want to mess with the Northern Sacred Bears. The Parthenon Temple had once had a conflict with them. In the end, the troop that the Hall of Judgment sent out had suffered heavy casualties.

The Parthenon Temple demanded an explanation from some of the countries in Northern Europe that were involved, but the nations had completely turned a blind eye to the incident.

The insiders in northern Europe knew the Northern Sacred Bears were more or less the army for several nations there. They were not as vile as bandits and mercenaries, but they were cruel and merciless when huge interests were involved.

The military tribunals of the countries there had naturally overlooked their actions as a result!

‘Mo Fan’s crew was short on numbers, and they were currently in the Sharkmen’s territory. It was meaningless to fight the Northern Sacred Bears.

“You want a share of it?” the man with brown-red hair repeated.

“We won’t take it for nothing. We’ll help you with the Sharkmen,” Mo Fan proposed.

“HAHAHAHA, we are confident that we can deal with the Sharkmen ourselves. Thank you for finding the Earth Flame Pistil for us. I will sincerely express my gratitude to you,” the man said, bowing to them.

“What the heck? What’s the meaning of that? Can I kill you and then burn joss paper in front of your grave, then?” Zhao Manyan snarled. He was not willing to give up on the loot so easily!

“Then I guess we have to do it the hard way,” the man with dirty blond hair said, his eyes cold..
