《Actually, I also Have Plug-ins》


 C1

    Tris Town.


    The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Jimmy''s face, who had just walked out of the smithy. His face was completely red, and his body was as long as a bamboo stick under the light, his distorted shadow hanging on the wall of the smithy.


    Jimmy placed the sword he had just bought onto his waist. His eyes flickered with excitement and excitement, as if he had thought of something, and narrowed his eyes once more. That look seemed to be planning something, and no matter what, it added a hint of distortion and malice to his handsome face.


    After a while, he left the wide street and arrived at an inn.


    In less than half an hour after he entered, another three youths arrived in succession. All of them were dressed in luxurious clothing, and all of them exuded the extravagant aura of aristocrats.


    The three of them gathered in Jimmy''s room.


    "Jimmy, did you succeed in your plan?" The second person to enter the room was a young man with short golden hair and a handsome and childish face. He was Ariel, the most impatient of the four.


    Jimmy couldn''t help but smile, "Our plan is foolproof, there''s no way he would notice it."


    Ariel''s face was immediately filled with excitement.


    "We still have to be careful. That person is very vigilant. If he discovers that something is amiss, then our plan will be ruined." This was the steady and steady Carlos. He was the sponsor of the plan this time, and his status and authority were also the highest.


    Jimmy and Ariel immediately calmed down after hearing his words.


    The last person to walk in was Cessie.


    The four of them confirmed their plans.


    The curtain of night descended very quickly. The entire Triese Town was shrouded in darkness, but Carlos and the other three did not stay in their room.


    Tris Town was a rather special town. On the surface, it was a small town, but in reality, it was as prosperous as a middle-sized city. The area was the size of a small city, and it was located at the border between two countries.


    The Tasha Forest was located to the north of the town. There were many Magic Beast living in the forest, which was why it attracted many adventurers to come every year. This was one of the reasons for the prosperity of the town.


    However, once night fell, Tasha Forest would become extremely dangerous because night was the time when Magic Beast were at their most active. Thus, unless one was extremely confident in their own strength, adventurers would usually rush out of the dangerous forest before dusk.


    When Carlos and the other three arrived at the Tasha Forest entrance, they could smell a thick smell of blood.


    Silver moonlight shone down on an empty area in front of them. It was the entrance to the Tasha Forest, and two three meter tall boulders were erected on both sides of it.


    The large stones were usually covered in dust, but at this moment, under the moonlight, they were covered with irregular black patches. If one looked carefully, they would see that they were actually blood stains.


    Not only that, there were also many corpses of Magic Beast on the ground. All of them had their arms and legs broken, and one of the Magic Beast''s stomach had been cut open, as if a pale white hand had pierced through its stomach. Fresh blood and internal organs flowed all over the ground, the cruel and bloody scene caused the four people''s faces to turn pale.


    "Ghost, ghost ¡­" Cessy, who was the most timid of them all, fell to the ground. The moonlight revealed his pale face, and he stared at the stone on the left side of the entrance to the forest with fear in his eyes. There stood a faint shadow of a human figure.


    The other three, who had followed Cessy''s line of sight, immediately felt their hearts tighten when they realized the existence of this black shadow.


    Carlos and Jimmy pulled out their swords from their waists at almost the same time and pointed them at the black figure. The former suppressed the unease that nearly jumped to her throat and shouted: "Who''s there, come out!"


    After a short period of deathly silence, the black shadow suddenly moved. A slightly swaying black shadow walked out from the darkness, and a weak moonlight shone on his face. His handsome face was like a knife cut, and his pitch-black eyes were as cold as the abyss.


    When the four of them saw each other''s faces, they suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. They only felt a cold, sinister aura suddenly surge up from the bottom of their feet, causing their bodies to turn cold in an instant.


    "Why aren''t you dead?" Jimmy jumped up as if he had been stepped on to a painful foot, and looked at him in fear, as if he had seen something unbelievable.


    These words instantly brought the other three back to their senses. They had finally determined that the man in front of them was the target of their plans, but shouldn''t he have died inside the Tasha Forest, the trap that they had specially set for him?


    Carlos''s eyelids fiercely twitched. For some reason, he didn''t know why, but the unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and he felt that something was wrong. Suddenly, he noticed the man''s hand, or more accurately, the longsword that Rex was holding.


    Fresh blood dripped down from the sword and gathered behind the tip. It could not bear the weight and dripped down onto the grass bit by bit. The fresh blood seemed endless.


    Carlos''s gaze suddenly shifted back to the man''s face, just in time to see the savage smile that still lingered on the corner of the man''s mouth. It was as if the plot was about to unfold, causing him to feel "joyful" and his heart to tremble, "We can''t let him off!" This sentence was like a shot in the arm for him.


    "You must die here tonight!" Carlos became calmer as he stared coldly at the man, as if he was looking at a dying man.


    "That''s right, you must die!" Jimmy was infected by his calmness, and finally managed to calm down. If there was anyone in this world who wished for this man to die the most, then Carlos and the other two wouldn''t even be in line. This person could only be him, because he had to kill this man for his own reasons.


    Jimmy turned his head and said to the other two: "Young Master Ariel, Young Master Cessy, pull out your swords. We four will fight together, he has just fought, he will definitely not be our match right now."


    Ariel and Cessy, who had been persuaded by him, had gathered the man in the middle, their sharp swords shining coldly under the moonlight.


    "Looks like everything is ready. Let''s all go die." The man raised the blood-stained sword in his hand. The cruel smile on his face was made even more eerie by the hazy moonlight.


    The warm liquid was caught off guard and splattered Cessie''s face.


    Sissy touched his face blankly, only to see his hands covered in blood. Then, he suddenly heard Ariel shouting out Carlos''s name, wasn''t Carlos standing beside him? Cessy turned his stiff neck, then saw Carlos''s hand covering his neck as fresh blood spewed out from the gaps between his fingers, instantly dyeing his front lapel red.


    Carlos''s eyes widened, and he fell down hard on the ground behind him. After a while, he had completely breathed his last, frightened expression on his face, causing Cessy to scream in fear.


    "I will kill you!" Ariel raised his great sword and rushed towards the man in anger.


    The man waved his sword, and an arm holding the sword flew into the air.


    Ariel kneeled on the ground and let out a miserable wail.


    "I don''t want to do it, I don''t want to do it!" Once again, this scene caused Cessy''s mind to collapse. He threw away the treasured sword in his hand, turned around, and ran.


    The sword flew out and pierced through his back.


    Cessie was dead.


    The man looked at the only fully armed Jimmy, and with half of his face hidden in the darkness, he walked towards him.


    "Impossible, this shouldn''t be. How could this be? How could you be so powerful at this time ¡­" Jimmy shook his head in shock, as if he couldn''t wrap his head around the scene in front of him no matter how hard he tried.


    The man''s hand moved toward him.


    "Go to hell!" Jimmy suddenly raised his head, and with a sinister look on his face, he swung his sword at the man.


    Boom!" Bang! With a loud noise, Jimmy was sent flying. After falling not too far away, he twitched a few times and then stopped breathing.


    The last one.


    The man''s eyes that looked like they were hunting locked on to Ariel who had a face full of fear and couldn''t help but retreat.


    "..."


    Even when he was hit by the car, Ge Yan did not feel the pain as clearly as he did right now, it was so painful that he could not breathe, because he seemed to have died very quickly, and before he could even think about it, he had already died, but what was he doing now, wasn''t he dead, or could he even feel the pain after he died?


    Ge Yan thought that he would die after lying down for a while longer, but the pain became more and more obvious, as if he was stuck in a trap. He felt a burning pain in his neck and chest.


    What the f * ck!


    However, the most exciting thing was that he was still waiting for it. A soft and dull sound was amplified in the darkness, and the trembling music notes floated into Ge Yan''s ears.


    It was a tall and sturdy man with a face that could not be seen clearly. However, he knew that he had accidentally entered a murder scene ¡­

 C2

    Jesus, was there a murder in hell?


    Ge Yan suddenly took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, the sound of him inhaling had exposed his identity.


    The man looked in his direction, and his sharp, cold gaze froze him instantly.


    "Save ¡­ Save me!" A man hoisted into the air by his neck sent him a distress signal.


    Ge Yan, "..." Bro, I''m about to die, how can I have the strength to save you? It''s better if you come to save me, even if he''s fine, he doesn''t think he can beat this man whose body was emitting a dangerous aura.


    "Crack!"


    Ge Yan''s heart skipped a beat as he looked at the man who broke the neck of the man who was begging for help. His head tilted to the side without a sound and his heart skipped a beat, he had a bad premonition. Sure enough, the man casually threw the corpse over and walked over, every step he took felt like he was stepping on a wound, it was so painful that he spasmed.


    "Bro, can we talk about this? I swear to the heavens that I won''t tell anyone about you killing others, or else I will be punished for not having any big words in my next life." Ge Yan blinked his eyes as he looked at her sincerely.


    The corner of the man''s mouth curled up slightly.


    Using the moonlight, Ge Yan was able to see that Ge Yan was silent for a moment.


    The man raised his hand without a word.


    Ge Yan''s attention shifted to his hands and saw nothing. After that, a wave of blood and flesh flew across the air, and a pile of minced meat amidst the blood exploded like a flower of blood. It was so beautiful, so brilliant, so unbearably beautiful, so bloody.


    Ge Yan was dead.


    When he was hit by the car, he was fully prepared, but this time, he died without a complete corpse.


    Not to die in silence, to explode in silence.


    Ge Yan could not take the burden anymore. Could it be that the heavens wanted him to live another life to experience a new way of dying?


    F * ck you, I''m not playing with you anymore.


    Right, he was currently in a soul state. When he was killed by a man, he actually did not feel too much pain, his soul had quickly been squeezed out as if it had been pushed away by his body, and it was as if his mind had lost his mind.


    Just like that, Ge Yan''s posture of looking down on the heavens was sucked towards his back. When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was a patch of black sky, the same heaven defying existence that he had looked down upon a moment ago.


    Player is dead. Would you like to revive in situ?


    Yes.


    Ge Yan opened his eyes and saw a pair of scarlet eyes, it must be the way he revived himself. Hmm, I have to start again, then close my eyes again, and the next time I opened my eyes I saw the murderer walk towards me, and again, the closer the murderer got to me, the shorter the distance between us was, and then again ¡­ ¡­ What the hell, did he dare to choose the location of his revival?


    Ge Yan lifelessly sat up on the ground and felt a dull pain in his chest, as if he had been struck by a heavy rock. Just this action of his had consumed 90% of his strength, and the remaining 10% was used on him to spit out a mouthful of blood, shocking him.


    The man had reached him.


    "Stop, I have some last words to say!" Seeing that the man was about to raise his hand again, Ge Yan immediately reacted as if he had been pricked by a needle. He definitely didn''t want to experience the brutal way his body exploded and died again.


    The man didn''t know why, but for some reason, he actually stopped walking. However, there was a layer of shadow on his face, causing him to be extremely shocked.


    Ge Yan''s brain immediately started to work: "Big brother, I''ve already died twice, and I don''t care about the third time, but before I die, can you listen to what I have to say?"


    "Yes."


    "Eh?" Ge Yan didn''t react in time as he stared at the man in a daze.


    The handsome features of the man were still sharp and cold, but his eyes were a ferocious scarlet. He was truly afraid that this man would once again kill him without saying a word.


    The man raised his hand.


    "Wait a moment." Ge Yan was shocked. If he had hair, the man would have definitely seen him exploding like a hedgehog, it was too savage. In his previous life, he had only borrowed ten dollars from someone else.


    "Big Brother, the person you just killed was also me." Ge Yan pointed at Carlos''s body, and looked at the man''s expressionless face with a terrified look, thinking that this persuasion wasn''t enough, he forced out his greatest secret, "I don''t know why I appeared in his body. In fact, I was knocked to death by a car a moment ago, and when I woke up I was right here.


    Ge Yan carefully looked at him.


    "I don''t believe you." The man''s words were like ice.


    Ge Yan was confused. He was so straightforward, he thought that the other party would at least reply with a "What do you think".


    "What do you want to believe?" Ge Yan''s expression was on the verge of death.


    "Give me a reason to let you go." The man looked down at him condescendingly.


    Ge Yan did not hesitate at all: "Do you still need things to hang on your thighs?"


    The man raised an eyebrow.


    Ge Yan coughed dryly, "I''m saying that I''m willing to follow you. If you tell me to head east, I definitely won''t dare to head west.


    "You want to be my servant?" The man squinted his sharp eyes as if he didn''t recognize the person in front of him. He looked at him with a look that carried a sense of oppression, like a sharp blade that could fall from Ge Yan''s head at any time.


    "Yes, as long as you don''t kill me." As long as he could survive, his dignity was nothing. After dying two times in a row, he now had a deeper understanding of life, so it was better for him to stay alive.


    "A servant would betray his master. Only a dead person would not."


    The word "die" made Ge Yan shiver. He knew that this person had not given up on the idea of taking his life. He was afraid that the other party would cut off his little life just because he didn''t understand. After racking his brains for a long time, he suddenly froze and looked at the man with ecstasy.


    "Well, I''ll tell you a great secret about this body."


    His sparkling eyes were especially bright in the dark. They were clearly deep sapphires, but he thought of the charming and elegant black gemstones. The man thought like this and became interested in his so-called secret. "What secret?"


    A piece of brown hair, or rather a wig, was thrown onto the ground by Ge Yan. Then, he removed the thing in his eyes.


    The man''s eyes fell on his head. The brown wig turned to soft black hair, and his eyes became an enchanting black.


    The black-haired, black-eyed young man looked at him nervously, as if worrying that he might not be satisfied with this secret. He hurriedly explained, "Although I don''t know why the master of the body has to hide his characteristics, it should be very important to feel."


    "As you wish." The man''s mouth bloomed with a mandola smile, his eyes shining.


    The youth was immediately happy. He didn''t seem to know how to hide his emotions. The joy that came from the bottom of his heart was expressed on his face like a fool.

 C3

    The smell of blood in the air was getting thicker and thicker. Ge Yan heard the roars of wild beasts coming from the direction of the forest. Until now, he still had not found out what kind of world he had entered.


    The only thing he could be sure of was that this was a bizarre world. The people here not only used weapons to fight, but also had a mysterious and strange power.


    A reference object was a man who had just become his master. With a wave of his hand, he could kill a man. It was even more brutal than a killing machine.


    The ferocious killing machine suddenly walked towards him, with a face as cold as ice, Ge Yan took a step back, but tripped on something obstructing his feet, causing it to fall down. Something touched his butt, and he pulled out a pale white arm from underneath his body, with a broken bone in it.


    Maybe it was because his expression was too obvious that he was afraid, but the man who had arrived in front of him glanced at him condescendingly. There was a trace of disgust in his eyes, as if he thought of something and became disgusted.


    Ge Yan could not even think about it, his reaction was just a beat too slow, the man was already far away, he immediately crawled up and chased after him, suddenly, the low growl of a beast came from behind him. He turned his head to look, and instantly sucked in a breath of cold air, his right foot tripping over his left foot, almost causing him to fall down to the ground and eat sh * t.


    His agile figure jumped out in quick succession, his sharp fangs dripping with saliva. There were four or five of them, and each of them was a wild wolf, but they were one or two times bigger and more ferocious than the wild wolves he had seen in his previous life. They were definitely not ordinary wild wolves.


    Fortunately, they did not chase them, but instead surrounded the scene of the murder. The creepy chewing, swallowing and cracking sounds of bones indicated that they were eating. With food, they did not need prey, and the cruelty of the world could be seen.


    Ge Yan was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit, but was unable to do so.


    The man walked quickly, with each stride, he was almost equivalent to Ge Yan taking two steps, and in a short while, he fell behind by a large margin. Ge Yan had yet to notice, he only wanted to escape from the murder scene behind him as soon as possible, in case he was targeted by the wolves, and become their food.


    In the silence of the night, the soft and crisp sound of footsteps magnified several times. Ge Yan, who finally realized that something was wrong, raised his head, and was momentarily stupefied.


    Where did he go?!


    The dark path gave off a sinister aura, and the low growls of the wolves that came from behind made him shiver. He, who was already injured, couldn''t run away, and his legs went limp as he sat on the ground. There was a tree to lean on, otherwise, his injuries might get worse.


    It wasn''t easy for him to retrieve his life from the man''s hands. Could it be that he would die here in the end?


    The smell of blood spread in all directions, and the sound of rustling came from behind him. He heard that the smell of the beasts were all very sensitive, especially at night, when it was as if they had been added to the blood, and the smell of the blood was enough to attract them over.


    Ge Yan''s mind flashed the word ''rest'', he closed his eyes and prepared to die. The cold wet wind blew past his face, and after 30 seconds, he sneezed.


    Ge Yan secretly opened one of his eyes, the wild beast did not appear in front of him, but a handsome carved face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. The deep outline of the face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost, but his attention was immediately attracted by the blood on the man''s hand.


    Being in a relaxed mood, he didn''t notice the man''s expression become even gloomier because of his actions. He shook off the blood on his hands, turned around, and left without saying anything.


    That ugly pig face crumbled down, and his facial features were squeezed together, causing his entire body to be covered in blood. Only then did he remember that there was a sound of impact, and that there was blood on the man''s hand for no reason. Did he come back to save him?


    "Hurry up and catch up!" The man turned his head, the word "chuan" between his brows very fierce.


    Ge Yan had never felt that this man was especially kind and benevolent. If only he could continue to be like this in the future, it would be great! His chest immediately no longer ached, and he crawled up, feeling extremely happy as he followed the man. It was unknown if it was because he was in a better mood, but this time, he could keep up with the man''s footsteps.

 C4

    The dazzling sun rose from the east. The morning sunlight shone down on the body and warmed it, dispersing the darkness and humidity. From afar, they could see the people coming and going like little black dots, creating a bustling atmosphere.


    Ge Yan finally had a feeling that he was alive, he even thought that everything that happened last night was just an illusion. In fact, he was even holding onto a bottle of soy sauce as he hailed a taxi by the side of the road.


    Ge Yan sighed in his heart, but when he saw the man''s figure, he suddenly fell back into reality. It was as if someone had smashed his head against him, causing him to recall a fact he wasn''t willing to face. From today onwards, he would forever lose his freedom.


    He had never seen such a servant, panting to death with just a few steps. The servants of other families all followed their master''s steps, while his servants, on the other hand, occasionally stopped to wait for him, as if they were walking a dog, and the man couldn''t help but wonder if it was the right decision to agree to let him be their servant.


    If Ge Yan knew what he was thinking, he would have gone crazy. You''re a dog, you''re a f * cking family dog, he also wanted to leave faster, but this body of his was already injured to begin with, and he almost vomited blood.


    Ge Yan walked for half a day before he was finally walked to the entrance of the town by the brutal master. He was so tired that he anxiously found a rock to sit on, and waved his hands at the man: "I can''t take it anymore, I need to rest for a while."


    Just as he finished his sentence, the surroundings suddenly quietened down. It was as if someone had suddenly pressed the ''pause'' button in the market. The surroundings became so quiet that only the sound of his breathing could be heard.


    Ge Yan raised his head and was shocked, only to see that all the people who were waiting in line to enter the town, as well as the scattered people who were walking in from the back, had all looked at him, a mixed emotion appearing on their faces. There was shock, there was doubt, there was surprise, there was curiosity, and there was a sly smile that could not be described with words?


    Before he could figure out what the hell was this, everyone retracted their strange gazes, but there were still some people who kept looking at him from time to time, and some people who knew him were whispering to each other. Although they did not point at him, Ge Yan felt uncomfortable under their gazes, as though he was an object in their eyes, they looked at him with gazes that seemed to be examining and commenting on him.


    This feeling didn''t diminish with time, especially after the man told him he was going into the town.


    The two soldiers stared at him with a more obvious expression than the others. Fortunately, they were more surprised, so they did not make things difficult for them. They paid the entrance fee and let them in.


    These people were the same as the people outside, when they saw him, their eyes became very strange. Some people''s eyes even gave him a burning sensation, as if he was a piece of fat, and they were a starving refugee. He touched his face, immediately becoming terrified. This thought struck him as soon as it popped into his mind.


    Ge Yan hurriedly ran behind the man. Right now, he could only feel a sense of security by following the man.


    Just as Ge Yan''s body was about to be unable to take it anymore, the man finally stopped and walked into a building that looked extremely grand and tall, but also had a bit of dignity and grandeur to it.


    Combined with the people he had seen along the way, he thought that he finally knew what kind of world he had travelled to. It was indeed a strange and bright world, and people like him who had no fighting strength should be at the bottom of the food chain. Thinking about this, an expression of hopelessness surfaced on his face.


    In a sense, he was right.


    The space inside the Mercenary Union was even larger than it was outside. The large hall was filled with people, and with a single wrong glance, the man''s figure would be submerged within the crowd.


    Ge Yan immediately retracted his train of thoughts and followed closely behind him. With a man leading the way, he did not need to be pushed around by the crowd that was bigger than him.


    "I want to submit my mission." The man came to the reception desk and spoke to the young man in charge of recording. His voice was slightly low.


    With a professional smile on his face, the young man began to inquire his name.


    "Rex."


    Ge Yan immediately revealed an expression of "So this man is called Rex" behind him, and silently ridiculed him for two seconds, his expression suddenly became extremely strange, and when he stared at the man, besides shock, he also had a "truth" feeling.

 C5

    Not many people could understand Rex''s name, but when it came to Tyrannosaurus Rex, everyone knew about it. It was one of the most famous carnivorous dinosaurs in the late Cretaceous, and was not only the strongest carnivorous dinosaur, but also one of the top predators in the food chain. Tyrannosaurus Rex was not called Rex Tyrannosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus even had the meaning of "Tyrant" in Greek.


    No wonder why the man was so fierce, so it turned out that he was a violent dragon in nature, and how could he let his enemy go so easily? He must have used the cruelest and bloodiest way to kill them, and even if they didn''t see blood, they couldn''t be called tyrants. When he thought about how he was going to follow this tyrant who had an unstable personality and ruthless methods, he felt that he would never be able to see the future.


    Rex didn''t know that someone had scared him yet again because of his name.


    The smile on his face changed after seeing Rex''s information, and he repeatedly confirmed that he was here to submit a mission, not to give up the mission. Only then did he take a deep breath, and the gaze in his eyes, other than shock, was more filled with respect and respect, because in front of him, there was actually a strong mercenary who could complete an [A] class mission on his own, and this strong mercenary was only at the [B] class.


    An A level mission was a high level one, and there were very few people who could complete it. Even an A level mercenary had a high failure rate of eighty to ninety percent, let alone a B level mercenary.


    However, the young man was truly surprised that although Rex''s mercenary rank was only B, he had already completed three [A] class missions. Adding the fact that there were four [A] class missions in total, the amount was already very shocking, because the [A] class missions were different from the [B] class missions. Other than having a high failure rate, the death rate was also very high, which was why many mercenaries could not advance at all when they reached [B] class.


    Rex completed the procedures but did not accept the new mission, and walked out of the Mercenary Union under the respectful gaze of the young man.


    He thought that the people on the street were already "enthusiastic" enough, but he didn''t think that the mercenaries inside would be even more "passionate like fire". Their eyes were always staring at him, and they didn''t even need to turn their heads to feel the burning sensation on his back.


    Turning his head back to take a look at the Mercenary Union gate, Ge Yan''s gaze unexpectedly met with a man who just happened to walk out. The man was startled for a moment, then moved away as if nothing had happened.


    The market of Triese Town was very prosperous. Every day, there were many caravans passing through the town. There were also many adventurers and mercenaries. Therefore, there were many inns in the town, but there were also a lot of people staying there.


    Rex brought him to a small inn. The location of the inn was a little off, so there were not many people there. There were still a lot of empty rooms, so Rex asked for a room.


    Hearing that, Ge Yan walked out from behind Rex, wanting to say that there were two of them, why did they only need one room, but before he could finish, Inn Owner looked at him and suddenly smiled, and without asking anything, he registered a room for them and brought them to the door of his room before leaving.


    Ge Yan saw a water jug on the table go to pour him a cup of water, just as it was about to reach towards his mouth, a hand suddenly extended out from the side and took the water cup away, turning his head to watch Rex drink the water in one gulp, his actions extremely cold.


    "Are you unhappy?" Rex noticed the anger in his eyes, his grave eyebrows raised, and the aura of a bastard suddenly spread throughout the cramped room.


    "It''s my honor to serve my master." Ge Yan instantly put on a serious face, but in his heart, he was upset. He had forgotten that he was a man''s servant, so he didn''t hesitate at all as he poured himself another cup. The hot water slid down his throat, warming his injured internal organs. No wonder.


    He vomited once, and the table was covered in blood.


    This mouthful of blood seemed to have caused him to lose all anger. Ge Yan''s face was frighteningly pale, and his four limbs were also ice-cold.


    Rex frowned, remembering that the original owner of this body had once withstood his furious attack. It didn''t look bad on the surface, but his internal organs should have been severely injured, and being able to hold on until now was truly not easy. His previous action of dragging it out was explained as well, and a ball of light appeared in his hand.


    Ge Yan suddenly felt like he had returned to his mother''s embrace. From head to toe, his entire body, from inside to outside, seemed to be immersed in a warm liquid, and the pain in his chest was becoming lighter and lighter, comfortable to the point that he wanted to sleep and not wake up. In his dreams, he thought like this, only to see Rex''s enlarged and stern face.

 C6

    Ge Yan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realised that something was not right. How could his heavily injured body do such a violent movement and not be affected at all, he then realised that his internal injury had instantly healed by about seventy to eighty percent, although it was not completely healed, but at least he no longer had to live or die. He was immediately shocked, the world of magic was actually so mystical, it was clearly almost dead, yet it was alive and kicking in the next second.


    It was obvious who was treating his injuries. With such a powerful master protecting him, he should be able to live in this world for a little longer in the future. His displeasure from being forced to be a man''s servant had also disappeared, right?


    Ge Yan didn''t notice that Rex was staring at him with a sharp gaze. His gaze was like a radar with a tinge of aggression, scanning his expression inch by inch without missing a single corner or corner.


    When Ge Yan looked at him, he withdrew his gaze.


    "Master, master, thank you for healing me." Ge Yan dryly expressed his thanks to the man, his tongue awkwardly rolling back the words he was not used to saying. He originally lived in a world where everyone was equal, so words like master would never appear in his life.


    "I do not wish Master to serve his own servant in reverse." Rex''s eyes narrowed dangerously a little, but he didn''t have an expression on his face, so the words that came out weren''t very pleasing.


    Ge Yan was in a good mood, and decided not to fuss about it. After walking around the room, the inn was simple, there were not many things, and the bed was not too big, if there were two women who could squeeze in for a night, the two men would be very reluctant, and asked: "There''s only one bed, where do I sleep at night?"


    "Where should the servants sleep?" Rex glanced at him.


    Ge Yan was startled, under the situation where there was only one bed, the servant would obviously only be able to sleep on the floor, which was something that even a three year old child would know, because his master was above him, and his servant was below him, but he was not a real servant. Seeing that the man would naturally lie down on the bed, he swallowed his words and sleep on the floor.


    It was still daytime, so the room was very bright. Ge Yan looked at the man who seemed to be asleep, rubbed his stomach, which was growling loudly. He then got Inn Owner to prepare some food for him to eat.


    Just as he turned around and walked out of the room, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. His blue starry eyes were as deep as the ocean, yet at the moment, they were brimming with power and ferocity.


    The food here seemed to be quite simple. Originally, there was even a plate of barbecue, but taking into account that he had just "recovered from his sickness" and the fact that the barbecue in the inn did not seem to be very delicious, he gave up.


    Rex was still sleeping, he did not wake them up and started eating. He was disgusted by the bread because it was too tough, he had to drink it after eating two bites, otherwise, he would not be able to swallow it. He only needed to drink it after drinking it, and after a burp, he finally understood why there were no customers in this inn.


    Ge Yan looked at the empty room, and his gaze landed on the blanket that was abandoned by Rex on the side. Since Master did not use it, then there shouldn''t be a problem for him to lay the floor, right?


    He crept over to the bed and looked at the man''s calm face. He had to admit that this man''s facial features must have been favored by God, especially when he was asleep. His handsome face was no longer ferocious, and it had lost a bit of its fierceness.


    Ge Yan couldn''t help but touch his own face. Speaking of which, he had never seen his own appearance before, I hope it wasn''t too bad.


    After admiring God''s masterpiece, Ge Yan walked to the end of the bed, knelt on one knee, stretched out his neck and hands to grab the inner blanket. After spending a long time without waking the man up, he finally took the blanket out, turned around, and didn''t find that the man had let go of his clenched fingers.


    At night, the bustling Triss Town also fell into a deep sleep.


    From the far end of the corridor came the faint creak of someone''s feet on the wooden floor. Two furtive figures were reflected in the dim moonlight coming through the window, then stopped in front of a door.


    "Are you sure it''s this room?"


    "There''s no mistake, there''s only two guests in the entire inn."


    "Then what are we waiting for? Take it out quickly."


    Under the urging of the other party, the other person took out a slender tube from his sleeve. The tube was hollow, and inside the tube was a small mechanism, storing medicine that could make one unconscious. As long as it was just a little bit, no matter how strong the mercenary was, they would be hit by it.


    Rex who was on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

 C7

    Rex''s cold eyes caught sight of a black shadow flashing beneath the crack of the door. He turned his head around and saw Ge Yan, who was sleeping like a dead pig, raise his thick black eyebrows and take out the square wooden pillow in front of his bed.


    Ge Yan was having a beautiful dream right now. In his dream, there was no cruel master, and he was not killed by a car, so he sat in the living room with the heater on, enjoying his mother''s delicious cooking with his mouth full of oil and fruits. As he ate, he watched TV, and laughed with his family due to the snacks inside, at this time, the chandelier above his head suddenly fell.


    Borrowing the moonlight that had fallen by the window, he could see exactly where he was. It seemed like he was really dreaming, and luckily he wasn''t dead, Ge Yan touched his forehead which was drenched in cold sweat, and when his fingertips touched it, he let out a cry of pain, only then did he realize that his forehead was swollen like a bump.


    "What''s going on?" Ge Yan was stunned. He was sleeping soundly, why did his forehead suddenly swell? He could not recall having the habit of sleepwalking.


    At an angle that he did not see, the weapon was clearly lying there.


    "Did you have a nightmare?" Rex''s low and deep voice came from within the darkness.


    "Motherf * cker." Ge Yan was so scared that all the hair on his body stood up, with a bang he crashed into the table beside him. Another fragrant bun was cooked, good things come in pairs, it was just this willful.


    Rex, "..."


    Ge Yan held onto the newly-made bun and looked at the culprit miserably. There were complaints in his eyes, and if not for the sudden outburst from this person, he would not have been scared, nor would he have been struck.


    From a certain point of view, Rex was indeed the main culprit, but the main culprit did not have a single bit of guilt in his heart. He only indicated for him to look outside, and said: "If you have nothing else to do, then go to sleep.


    Ge Yan understood in an instant, stood up and quietly walked to the door while saying: "Okay."


    The room was silent again.


    The mercenaries who were hiding outside did not dare make a sound when they heard it, but after waiting for a while, thinking that they had fallen asleep, they took out pipes and extended them through the crack of the door, preparing to blow the knockout drugs inside. Just as their mouths moved closer, the pipes were suddenly pulled by a force, Ding dong, Ge Yan found a tool, the two mercenaries were stunned for a moment, then realised that they had been tricked, they immediately unsheathed their swords and kicked the door open.


    "Hand over the person if you know what''s good for you." After one of the mercenaries rushed in, they took the initiative to intimidate the others, their gazes swept around the room and landed on Rex, who was hiding behind him, holding onto the tube that was taken away from them, causing the two mercenaries to become angry, looking like it was not easy to provoke.


    To Ge Yan, this kind of reaction looked fake, it only required a look from a truly strong person to make him feel like a coward. A truly strong warrior only needed a glance to make him feel like he was retreating, the powerful aura was innate, when he was not speaking, his imposing manner and oppressive feeling was very scary, he had only seen one such person, although he did not want to admit it, Rex was truly powerful.


    "What if I don''t?" Rex swept his eyes across Ge Yan and asked back expressionlessly. His cold expression contrasted sharply with the false bravado of the two mercenaries.


    The two of them looked at each other, and they could see the fear in each other''s eyes. They had followed Rex here since the moment they came out of the Mercenary Union, and knew that Rex was also a mercenary, and the aura around him was not like ordinary mercenaries, and that was why they wanted to use medicine, but they did not expect to be discovered, and since they had already done it, there was no reason for them to give up halfway. Furthermore, if they succeeded in this deal, then in the future, they would no longer need to earn a living.


    Rex''s handsome face revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.


    Ge Yan who had accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene knew that his master was going to turn black again, and black meant savageness. He wanted to cover his eyes, but his actions weren''t as fast as a man''s.


    As the sword slashed down, not only did the Sword Qi slash the body of a mercenary into two, it even left a deep mark on the wall. The stench of blood immediately spread throughout the room as blood flowed everywhere, and one''s internal organs could be seen clearly.


    The other mercenary was so scared that he started to piss his pants.


    Ge Yan held his nose and opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Did he have to be such an exaggeration, to be able to pee out of it was understandable, and even sh * t could jump out, ah, these few days he had not defecated ah, the smell of blood and feces was mixed together, the smell was so intoxicating that it made him green in colour. He rushed out of the room, the fresh air filled his chest and only then did he feel alive.


    In less than five seconds, Rex walked out with not a drop of blood on his body.

 C8

    Ge Yan did not hear the other mercenary''s voice, but seeing the man''s satisfied look on his face as if he had just killed someone, he knew that the man was probably up for something. He wanted to see the situation, but he was afraid of a bloody scene, so he decided to give up.


    Inn Owner''s tardy footsteps finally reverberated in the corridor. Other than him, there seemed to be other people, and the footsteps were a mess.


    Ge Yan perked up his ears, noticing that there were at least three people there. He remembered that when he checked in during the day, he did not see so many people, only the boss seemed to have food for him, and the food he ate was even brought over for him by the boss himself. The boss was very enthusiastic and always asked him if there were enough for two people to eat, wanting him to take more.


    Looking back now, that Inn Owner''s reaction was indeed a little off. He was overly enthusiastic, and with such a big thing happening, he only appeared now. If there was no problem, he wouldn''t have believed it.


    In such a short period of time, Inn Owner had brought along three people and rushed up. Just as Ge Yan had guessed, these three people did not look like shop assistants, even such a small inn would not be able to afford three shop assistants.


    Ge Yan was alert and calm as he hid behind Rex. Master, it''s your turn to go up on stage again, there''s no need to be so polite and fight everywhere, right?


    Bloody scenes were like those of an aunt. She would get used to it after a few times.


    Rex looked at Inn Owner who was running in front of them with his sharp eyes, the evil and bloody aura on his body had not dissipated yet, his aura was releasing out, shocking the four Inn Owner s, but it was only a single exchange.


    "Those two fools couldn''t even manage a small matter." A mercenary with a scar across his face looked like their leader, the scar moved as he spoke, like a twisted earthworm. Seeing that Rex was not injured at all, the mercenary thought that something huge had happened, but the other party''s face became extremely ugly.


    "We have four people, it''s enough to deal with the two of them. Leave the short one to me and the big one to you." The Inn Owner was worried that the boss of the mercenaries would be angered and hurt her, so he took the initiative to suggest.


    The boss mercenary felt that one of them was enough, but he agreed to avoid any unnecessary trouble.


    On the other hand, Ge Yan was completely furious. You''re just a dwarf, your entire family is poor and short, how is he short? Where was he short? He had never measured it before, but he felt that this body''s worst case scenario should not be less than 1.78 meters. How could he have become short, in his original world, more than 1.78 meters was already pretty good. Ge Yan stared at them one by one in anger, and saw that they were all at least 1.85 meters tall.


    "Master, kill them. Let them experience your ruthlessness for themselves." Ge Yan''s eyes were exceptionally vicious as he stared at Inn Owner.


    Rex looked at him with unfathomable eyes, and the word "master" came out more and more smoothly. In the next second, he reacted as if he had thought of something, and as a result, he immediately cast aside this thought.


    The boss of the mercenary group rushed over with three subordinates. Inn Owner wanted to circle around Rex to capture him, but Ge Yan stuck close to his back with complete self-awareness, wishing that he could become''s spirit.


    Unable to find an opportunity, Inn Owner could only surround and attack Rex together with Boss Mercenary, and then, they could only look for an opportunity to strike together, but Rex would never give him an opportunity. He swung his sword like a heavy sword, and with a loud sound, his body heavily smashed into the wall, causing the dust on the ceiling to fall down. He clutched his chest as he leaned against the side of the door, and his eyes subconsciously looked into the room.


    The title of tyrant was not given in vain.


    The boss mercenary simply did not know what kind of monster he had offended. After a short exchange, he discovered that Rex was very strong, and his movements were extremely rough and efficient. With just a slight mistake, one of his subordinates was decapitated by a sword, and blood spurted onto his face.


    The headless body fell towards the Inn Owner, its screams piercing through the darkness, forming a song.


    Rex looked at the boss of the mercenaries, the sinister and terrifying smile on his face became even more terrifying under the moonlight.


    His perception of danger had allowed him to avoid many dangers over the years, thus he did not hesitate to kick his subordinates towards Rex, taking advantage of this time to turn around and escape. The speed at which he was fleeing made Ge Yan exclaim in surprise, but it was useless, he knew that Rex was not an ordinary Swordsman.


    Rex hacked the annoying mercenary in front of him into half with his sword, at the same time, he made a gesture with his left hand, causing the air to seem to change, the boss of the mercenary who was running suddenly exploded into a rain of blood, the sword in his hand flew out and stabbed into the wooden stake, his lower body swaying back and forth a few steps before collapsing, he was dead.

 C9

    Inn Owner was frightened out of his wits. Suspicious yellow liquid flowed out from between his legs, and his fighting strength dropped to minus one hundred.


    If Ge Yan went up and stabbed him with a knife now, he probably wouldn''t resist at all, and would even break down in tears of gratitude. He wouldn''t even have any psychological obstacles when hugging onto his thighs and calling out to his parents, since dying in his hands was better than being torn into shreds by Rex.


    Unfortunately, Ge Yan was not able to help him realize his wish, as he had already vomited on the railings due to his disgust. From last night to now, he had already seen bloody scenes three times, more than he could bear.


    "Don''t kill me, don''t kill me! This has nothing to do with me! They found me first to help you capture your companions, and I have no other choice. I don''t dare to do it anymore, so I beg you to let me go! I will definitely start anew in the future!" Inn Owner poured out the reason for this sneak attack, in exchange for the man''s sympathy. His expression was extremely fearful, and tears also flowed down his face.


    Ge Yan stopped vomiting and looked over in shock. He had always thought that they were careless and stayed in the black shop, and the mercenaries were here to steal money, but they did not expect it to be because of him.


    "Why me?"


    Hearing his words, Inn Owner glanced at Rex in fear, seeing that he did not have any reaction, he anxiously replied: "Because of your looks."


    "What''s wrong with my appearance?" Ge Yan caressed his own face. If he remembered correctly, this body had a little Jiji. No matter how good-looking he was, he couldn''t possibly arouse the interest of other men just by looking at their skin. There must be a reason that he did not know.


    Inn Owner suppressed the doubt in his heart and nervously explained: "Because you have black hair and black eyes, men and women who possess this kind of appearance are extremely rare, and are very popular in the Ezra Continent, especially in the noble class. Every time one of them appears, it would cause a huge commotion in the circle of aristocrats, especially those with more outstanding looks.


    Ge Yan''s face turned black before he even finished speaking, he had already felt that this situation was too unbelievable for him, so he didn''t think about it at all. No wonder the original owner hid the color of his hair and eyes, no wonder Rex let him go, if people knew he had black hair and black eyes, they would be waiting for him to become a noble''s pet.


    I am only the owner of this inn. I definitely do not have that ability, and these mercenaries did not know where they found out that you were staying at the store. They threatened me to cooperate with them, or else they would kill me. Inn Owner did not notice his expression, thinking that he would let him go after he finished speaking.


    "Then the bread and pastries ¡­"


    "Bread and snacks are fine. Originally, they wanted to use the food to charm you to death, then kill your comrades before transporting you away. However, since your companions didn''t want to eat it, they asked me to replace it as soon as they were afraid of alerting others." Inn Owner wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and begged: "This is the situation, can you let me go now?"


    Ge Yan looked at Rex and Inn Owner also looked at him in anticipation.


    Rex frowned, he did not move, the sword light had cut off Inn Owner''s head, and he did not even have the chance to scream in pain, he could be considered the most straightforward death, even though he also died without an intact corpse.


    opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not ask anything. Inn Owner''s reaction was very consistent with a person who wants to live, but he was a little careless, the distance between when they entered the inn and when he went down to get food was only a short interval. How did those mercenaries manage to successfully threaten Inn Owner in such a short period of time? In addition, they were the only guests in the inn, so when the various coincidences added together, he felt that Inn Owner was lying. The most likely scenario would be that they were in the same group.


    After Ge Yan followed Rex into the mansion, he went straight to Huang Long''s place. After discussing it with the owner in his heart, he decided to stay there automatically. As expected, sleeping in a bed was different from sleeping on the floor, it was so comfortable that the moment he touched the pillow, he fell asleep.


    The next morning, Ge Yan was almost abandoned by Rex when dawn broke. He was so scared that he quickly followed behind Rex, and when he knew that his appearance would bring about a disaster, he decided to follow wherever Rex went, his life would not be as important as the collapse of the sky.


    After exiting the mansion''s back door, Ge Yan suddenly called out to Rex who was about to walk onto the street.

 C10

    "I want to buy a cloak." The sunlight just so happened to land on his face. The two bags were as clear as red life bags, as if they could smell the fragrance of a bun, as a sweet person, they must be sweet.


    Rex was quiet for a moment, then turned and walked onto the busy street, which was not the direction he went yesterday.


    Ge Yan immediately followed, and with the strange gazes of the people on the way, he had a feeling that something was wrong, but now that he knew, he felt uncomfortable, especially those who looked strong and powerful, but when he saw them talking while looking at him, he felt that they did not have good intentions, and subconsciously followed behind Rex.


    After walking for a long time, Rex suddenly stopped in front of a shop.


    Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the name of the shop from the corner of his eyes. In an instant, the sun had risen, his waist was not sore, and his back was no longer in pain. It seemed that Rex was not as unreasonable as he thought, there must be something soft at the bottom of his heart.


    The shop was a clothing store. Although the layout was small, it had all sorts of internal organs.


    Ge Yan asked him to bring a cloak over for him. Hearing his voice, the clothing shop owner noticed his presence and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. There was no helping it, Rex''s presence was too strong, if he stood there, anyone who stood beside him would be ignored.


    Ge Yan was not annoyed. In fact, he felt that the clothing store owner''s reaction was much better than others, his expression was just shock, but his eyes did not reveal any hint of anger. He was even more determined to buy a cape.


    "Bring him two more sets of practical clothes." Rex called out to the clothing store owner with his deep and heavy voice.


    Ge Yan knew that his clothes were dirty and tattered, but he never thought that Rex would take the initiative to speak. He was slightly touched in his heart, this person was indeed not as evil as he thought, and was suddenly so touched.


    There was nothing to be picky about. The two sets of clothes were indeed practical, the fabric was a bit thick, the style did not have any special characteristics, but it was better than the original clothing habit of wanting both to look good and to be soft. Because the original body seemed to be unable to wear it, the clothes and clothes on the body were all useless in comparison to the original body.


    Rex paid the bill and the two of them walked out of the clothing store.


    Ge Yan was wearing the cloak that he bought, and sure enough, no one was looking at him weirdly. His mood immediately became good, and he caught up to Rex and asked: "Where are we going?"


    He thought that it was an extremely ordinary question, but Rex suddenly stopped in his tracks, and looked at him expressionlessly. Ge Yan felt that he was slightly uncomfortable with his deep gaze, from the moment he met this man, he had never seen him before, so he might as well go straight to the point.


    After a second of silence, a loud noise came from the front.


    This Mercenary Regiment was called the Black Wolf, and they were currently looking for someone. The identity of the person they were looking for was not ordinary, and the commotion caused by the people they were looking for was quite big, and it was said that there were bounties placed on them as well. As long as they gave the correct clues, they could get a thousand gold coins, regardless of the size of the clues.


    Ge Yan did not know how much a thousand gold coins could cost, but he knew that a hundred silver coins could be exchanged for one gold coin, and the clothes and cape Rex bought for him only required thirty silver coins, so a thousand gold coins should be a lot, and two mercenaries were tempted.


    Rex had always been observing his expression, and noticed that he didn''t have any other reactions other than curiosity when he heard Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment. With a plan in mind, he quickly walked into an alleyway with no one around him after saying "Follow me".


    Ge Yan was already a little used to him making any kind of decision for no reason at all. He would know at that time anyway.


    There were a lot of people coming and going at the door, and when people were free they wanted to chat about the situation. No matter if it was men or women, the content of the conversation was the same as the inn they stayed in yesterday, and the corpse inside had already been found. To Ge Yan''s surprise, there were some people who seemed to know that the inn was a black shop, and most of them were just discussing the miserable state of the corpse.


    Rex asked the owner for a room.


    Don''t you have to sleep in broad daylight again?


    Ge Yan thought, but he had only recovered half of his injuries, so he was willing to not rush over to rest. Just as he walked into the room, Rex closed the door.


    Ge Yan turned his head in confusion, the man''s deep voice came out from above his head, causing his body to tremble.


    "How much do you know about Jimmy?"

 C11

    Because of Rex''s words, Ge Yan''s pupils suddenly shrank, he thought that he had revealed a flaw, but he did not know that Rex was only asking out of caution, and his reaction meant that there was a problem, yet this slight change in his expression did not escape Rex''s eyes. With a loud crash, Ge Yan''s neck was gripped by his hand, and his back forcefully smashed against the door.


    "You lied to me." Rex stated with an expressionless face, but his voice did not fluctuate, but it carried a dangerous aura.


    "I want five minutes to file a complaint." Ge Yan cried out in pain, a burst of heat hit him from the back, he felt the five fingers on his neck slowly closing in, and his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of Rex''s other hand lifting up, as though this hand would stab into his stomach in the next second and bring out a bunch of intestines, immediately scaring him to take the initiative to confess, afraid that he would be one step slower than others.


    Rex stared fixedly at him, his blue eyes seemed to have turned into ice, as if he could see a world of ice and snow.


    Ge Yan shuddered, goosebumps began to form all over his body, he decided to make the long story short: "I did not intentionally hide it from you, but I am indeed not Jimmy, the thing was that after I died, I did not know the reason, my soul followed that person called Jimmy for a few days, and then I found out some of his secrets."


    At that time, he still thought it was strange that his soul would follow Jimmy, but it was only after entering his body that he found out this was a predetermined body.


    "What secret?" Rex still did not let go of him. His expression was as cold as usual, completely unable to discern what he was thinking.


    Ge Yan had no choice but to continue: "The reason they set up this trap was because Jimmy instigated you. He seemed to be very afraid of you, and during those few days when he was hiding in his room by himself, he would always nag you." After saying that, he suddenly looked at Rex with an extremely complicated expression, as if he was unable to explain his feelings.


    "What are you muttering about?"


    He always said that as long as you died, those things would all be mine. What about before you grew up, how can you escape this time, what Son of Fate, he doesn''t believe that the current you doesn''t have any foundation, and can still avoid that kind of thing, so I suspect that he was reborn, moreover, that he was reborn from the future. He knows that the future you will become very powerful, he wants to kill you before you grow up, and take away those things that will belong to you in the future.


    If Rex was really the Son of Fate, then it was no wonder that he would go crazy with jealousy. The Son of Fate was definitely a good thing, it meant that the person was favored by the gods, even if they were to stumble on the road to growth, in the end, they would still meet with misfortune and become stronger and stronger due to all kinds of fortuitous encounters. This was a huge temptation that could make people lose their rationality and humanity.


    Ge Yan could understand what Jimmy was thinking, but he also felt that he was overthinking things. If Rex was really the Son of Fate, then even if the current him wasn''t strong, God still cared for him, so how could he let them plot and design him to be dead? Moreover, their fate had already given them the answer, and the words "impossible" said by Jimmy before his death already implied that Rex''s fate had changed due to his rebirth, which was also known as the butterfly effect.


    "I didn''t believe him at the beginning, but after thinking about how I was still conscious after my own death, it should have been possible for him to have that kind of situation." Ge Yan finally saw a subtle ripple in Rex''s eyes, but he did not dare to relax. What if Rex did not believe him?


    He didn''t know that Rex was thinking about something else. His fate had changed because of Jimmy''s rebirth, so this matter might be true.


    "Do you believe me?" Ge Yan looked at him with anticipation.


    Because of his frown, Rex''s brow grew even steeper, but he still released his hand.


    Ge Yan slid back onto the ground, touching his neck with lingering fear, knowing that there was definitely a five fingered mark on it. Suddenly, he felt that it was best to keep his feet firmly planted on the ground.


    "They are members of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment."


    "Hmm?" Ge Yan''s reaction was slow, he looked at Rex who said suddenly, and his expression changed slightly, "They don''t seem like it, aren''t they noble children, aren''t their Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment supposed to be a group of desperate thugs?"


    "Black Wolf is not an ordinary Mercenary Regiment. In the beginning, it was just established by certain aristocrats in order for the younger generation of the family to obtain better training. Later, it was completed through a quest and became an A grade Mercenary Regiment." The smile on Rex''s face turned into a sneer.


    Ge Yan understood that now, it was actually equivalent to the difference between an ordinary merchant and an emperor merchant. The position of the young masters such as Carlos was equivalent to a crown prince, and the disappearance of the crown prince was nothing compared to a normal mercenary member, they definitely had to find him, if the news of them dying were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge uproar, but he and Rex who were still alive and well would definitely be suspected. Luckily they dodged it quickly, as long as he had the cape, Rex would be in trouble.

 C12

    "Oh yeah, I remember that Jimmy once recorded a part of the content. I want to take a look ¡­" Ge Yan thought of this matter and immediately rummaged through his pockets.


    Therefore, he had to write down a note and carry it closely with him. He was afraid that Rex would discover his secret, so he didn''t dare to think about what had happened previously.


    Jimmy hid the note very well. If he was not in a soul state, he would not have been able to see it, because it was a pocket that was sewn into his sleeve. The pocket was not large, so it was just right for him to hide the note.


    Ge Yan handed the slip of paper to Rex, and said with expectation: "The records above all contain information that Jimmy knew about in his previous life, and there seems to be some information regarding Triese Town and Tasha Forest inside there. Take a look to see if it''s important."


    Rex opened the folded slip of paper, and there were more than ten densely packed lines of information on it. There was also the date, which was about three months ago, which meant that the time of Jimmy''s rebirth should have been three months ago.


    This content was related to Tasha Forest.


    Rex''s five senses were originally sharp and cold, after seeing it, a bright light shot out from his eyes, causing everyone to shiver. He felt as though he was being stared at, and that it was a bloody scene, Ge Yan had experienced this firsthand.


    "Is it going to work?" Ge Yan could not see through him.


    Rex folded the slip of paper and stuffed it into his hands, and at the same time, walked out. Walking to the door, he suddenly remembered something, and turned around, only to see Ge Yan who was looking at him anxiously, frowning slightly. The words that was about to come out of his mouth turned around and he changed his mind, "Stay by my side and don''t speak nonsense."


    Ge Yan''s eyes lit up and immediately nodded, indicating that he would definitely shut his mouth tightly and not speak carelessly, and then followed him out.


    There were many people eating in the lobby, most of them were just mercenaries, sitting in groups of two or three while eating and talking. It was as lively as a market, a few waiters were shuttling through the crowd, carrying everyone''s food in their hands, their movements very agile.


    Not long after the two of them sat down, a young shop assistant arrived in front of them and asked them what they wanted to eat.


    Rex said a few simple things, but the bread, meat and wine were all not bad.


    Since Ge Yan had eaten bread at that Black Hotel, he thought that they were all the same. Thus, right now, he had no feelings for the bread, but was instead curious about the meat and wine. The waiter did not make them wait for too long, and after a while, the food arrived at the table.


    Perhaps it was because most of the customers were mercenaries and mercenaries liked to eat and drink with large mouthfuls of meat, so the meat here was rather coarse and did not actually taste bad, but in his eyes, which had eaten much better, it was not much good. The only thing he was satisfied with was the wine, which was a type of fruit wine that was said to be brewed with spirit fruits.


    Just as Ge Yan was about to ask Rex, he suddenly heard a low voice coming from the table next door. They were so close that they could vaguely hear him.


    It''s fine if the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment is looking for people, but why are even the people from the crow Mercenary Regiment here? In my opinion, there must be some unspeakable secrets here, don''t you know something?


    "You asked the right person. I''m telling you, don''t tell others."


    "Don''t worry, I won''t tell a third person about this even if you know about it."


    "I heard that the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment''s young masters have indeed disappeared, and they are also looking for them. But it''s just along the way, that the real reason is Tasha Forest, and I heard that a Holy Beast appeared there."


    "My god, it can''t be, it''s actually a Holy Beast, this is extremely good news ah."


    That''s why I told you not to tell anyone else. If even more people knew, how many people would compete for the Holy Beast s? I''m afraid even the entrance to the Tasha Forest would be sealed, how would we be able to pick up the loot?


    "That''s true."


    Ge Yan bit onto the meat, suddenly feeling as if he had seen it somewhere. After thinking for a while, he realised that it was the second step that Jimmy had written down on the piece of paper, which was the second step in his plan. He wanted to snatch the opportunity that belonged to Rex.


    If this world was a novel about YS upgrades, then anything rare or special that appeared would, needless to say, be the standard for the protagonist. Destiny was like the pen in the author''s hand. No matter what happened, the protagonist would always receive what belonged to him, and that was how willful he was.


    After all, even he, an outsider, was a little excited. As the main character, however, after knowing his future fate, he was still this calm. Maybe it was because of the difference between the main character and the cannon fodder.

 C13

    "Do you want to go to Tasha Forest?" Ge Yan thought that the reason he was here was for the Holy Beast, so they would definitely go there too. If they were to be discovered that the death of Carlos and the other two was related to them, no matter how strong Rex was, he wouldn''t be able to win against so many people.


    Rex did not answer his question, but he had already made a decision in his heart, he would leave the inn immediately after eating.


    Ge Yan followed him all the way to another street, and discovered that even though this street was also very lively, it was very easy to discover that there were quite a few relatively old idle people by the side of the road.


    There was a young man in his teens and a child around eight or nine years old. These people would always come up and talk to strangers when they saw them, and all of these people seemed to be coming to Triese Town for the first time.


    Before Ge Yan could even ask, Rex had summoned a child. Closer inspection, the child was even younger, only seven years old, and when he was called over, his eyes were as bright as stars. His face was ashen, but his eyes shone with a hopeful light.


    "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" The child was a bit nervous and nervous. His two small hands tightly clutched at his tattered clothes. His lips were very dry, as if he had not drunk any water one day. His body was so thin that only a few strands of flesh remained.


    "What''s your name?" Rex took out five silver coins and gave it to him.


    The child hesitated for a moment before accepting it, and then said his own name: "My name is Simon, feel free to speak your mind, if there is anything I can do, I will definitely do it for you."


    Rex said indifferently: "Help me do something, after that you will get 1000 gold coins."


    Simon''s eyes widened, his heart beating even more vigilantly, how could there be such a good thing, even if there was, for a thousand gold coins to be equal to one thing, it would definitely be extremely difficult, he was self-aware, and with his ability, he could only earn a few silver coins at most.


    In the eyes of Rex and Ge Yan, Rex did not react at all, or perhaps, he was a person who did not have any sympathy in the first place, but Ge Yan felt that this child must have experienced a lot of hardships that no one else had, or else the adults in the family would not let him earn money right now. Forget about earning money when he was young, he would only steal from his parents, hmm.


    "Sir, a thousand gold coins is too much. I''m afraid I can''t do it." Simon said honestly, he only wanted to earn money to support his family, and did not want to lose his life.


    "You only need to pass on the message that I''ve told you to someone else. There won''t be any danger." Rex said calmly.


    The trace of hesitation in Simon''s eyes showed that he did not believe it.


    Ge Yan already knew what Rex was planning and immediately explained: "We just wanted you to pass a message to our Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, that A-Ranked Mercenary Regiment, have you heard of it?"


    The matter of Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment searching for people had long been spread out. The thousand gold coins was very tempting, and there were some people who wanted to trick them into earning this gold, but most people only thought about it, since this was Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, after all, they only dared to deceive people like them because they had ambition and leopards in their hearts. What use would there be if they had money and no life to spend it on?


    Simon immediately believed in eighty percent of it, and still had twenty percent to doubt, but he was smart enough not to ask, because since he was already certain that there was no danger, he was not stupid enough to give up this chance to live a better life with his family, so he immediately changed his words: "What does Mister want me to do?"


    They found a place where no one was there. Rex told him the message he wanted to pass on, Simon was very smart and his memory was also good. He didn''t wait for him to say anything and asked a few questions that he needed to pay attention to.


    Simon then rushed to the inn where Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment were staying. The large inn was very easy to find, it was the biggest and most bustling main street in Triese Town, a crossroad that connected to another street. Some people with extraordinary statuses would choose that place to stay at, and some strong Mercenary Regiment would choose that place to stay.


    The Main Hall was in an uproar, yet Simon found the person with Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment accurately.


    The leader of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment was called Locke. He was a powerful swordmaster, with extremely rough facial features, and half of his face was covered with a black beard, which made him look very intimidating normally. He had a very high prestige among the black wolves, but he was not bad to the members of the Mercenary Regiment, and his attitude was not that high.


    Locke''s face was gloomy, his eyes revealed a berserk aura, as though he was about to erupt at any time. No one dared to offend the Guild Leader, and they also knew why the Guild Leader was acting this way.


    When Simon saw him, he mustered the courage to walk over. However, halfway through, he was stopped by a member of Black Wolf Tribe.


    "Where did this kid come from? This isn''t a place for you to play. Hurry up and leave."

 C14

    Simon did not cower, and instead shouted towards the Regiment Commander Locke across the member of the Mercenary Regiment: "Are you a Regiment Commander Locke of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, I have something very important to tell you."


    It was not loud, and the surroundings were once again filled with noise, but Regiment Commander Locke was not an ordinary person, upon seeing that it was a seven or eight year old child, he had a serious expression on his face, as if he was not a child of his age. He had wanted to get his subordinates to send him away, but he suddenly changed his mind, thinking that he might regret missing out on this child.


    How could a seven or eight-year-old kid be a threat? A dignified swordmaster would only be embarrassed if a child got out. Seeing that the leader had already spoken, his men did not stop him.


    "What''s your name? What business do you have with this captain?" Regiment Commander Locke squinted his eyes and sized Simon up. Although he did not think that the enemy would send a child to ambush him, he did not dare to let his guard down.


    "My name is Simon, I heard that you guys placed a bounty." Simon answered truthfully according to what Rex had taught him. There was no panic on his face, only a sense of nervousness.


    Regiment Commander Locke was so excited that he stood up, staring at Simon with fiery eyes, calling him a new parent would not be an exaggeration.


    Those young masters were not ordinary people, if anything happened to them, they would all be in trouble, and even though the time from the offering of the bounty to now wasn''t long, their mood was plummeting like a roller coaster.


    On the other hand, they were truly worried that something had happened to the young masters. They had an important mission on their hands, so they were so anxious that their hair almost fell off. Now that they heard someone was looking for them because of the bounty, they felt as if they had seen God.


    "Simon right? Do you know the information about the person I''m looking for?" Regiment Commander Locke took a deep breath and stared at him with a hint of nervousness and apprehension.


    Simon hesitated for a moment before nodding, "I''m not sure if those people I saw were the people you were looking for, but they did look a little similar to the ones you described."


    The reason was because Carlos and the other young masters had not been in the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment for long, and very few people had seen them. If the other party had spoken with certainty to start the conversation, it would have been suspicious, but in order to confirm that the child was indeed looking at them, the Regiment Commander Locke asked Simon a few questions, such as the color of their clothes, and other accessories they had.


    Simon answered them one by one, but he did not answer all of them. Some of the questions only gave a vague answer, or maybe he did not know, and that was all taught to him by Rex.


    Regiment Commander Locke was certain that the people he saw were Carlos and the rest, and immediately became excited, and asked for their whereabouts.


    Furthermore, when Regiment Commander Locke asked Simon, he had already sent people to investigate Simon''s identity, and the answer they received was naturally ordinary civilian guides, especially for the level of a guide. People of this profession would usually wander around the main streets of the town, and there was a large chance that they would see the people who went in and out of the town.


    After leaving the inn, Simon made sure that he did not follow them and secretly went to the agreed location.


    "Sir, I have already told them as you instructed." Simon carried a heavy bag of gold coins. He had never seen so much gold coins in his life before, and it was so heavy that he felt like he couldn''t lift it.


    "You did well, this bag of gold is yours." Rex had already seen that Regiment Commander Locke did not have any doubts, so he was very satisfied with Simon.


    Simon was startled, "Sir, this, this is truly too much, I am only helping to pass the message, the reward is already given by you."


    Ge Yan noticed that Simon''s first reaction to hearing these words was not to be happy, but rather to act in a panic and worry. It was obvious that he had appeared so calm in front of them the first time they had met each other.


    A thousand gold coins was indeed a heavy burden to a person who had never had a thousand gold coins before. In fact, when Simon came out of the inn, they saw two or three people with ill intentions following him out. Of course, they were all taken care of by Rex in the end.

 C15

    "I said it was yours." Rex''s voice could not be doubted.


    "But I really can''t accept ¡­" Simon''s voice became softer and softer under Rex''s cold gaze, and his hands once again grabbed onto the hem of his clothes nervously.


    Ge Yan saw that Rex did not plan to explain himself at all, and could only say: "If he says he will never take back what he says, then take it. If you are worried about the people coveting these gold coins, the people who came with you will already be taken care of by us, no one will find trouble with you in the near future."


    Simon''s expression changed slightly, and looked at him hesitantly, "Big brother, can I ask you for a favor?" After saying that, he sneaked a peek at Rex. He could tell that this man was the only one out of the two that was not to be trifled with. The other was unsure, but he could only give it a try.


    "Tell me about it." Ge Yan did not disappoint him, as long as it was not something that made him particularly uncomfortable.


    "Can you help me store these gold coins in Mercenary Union?" If a child took so many gold coins to the Mercenary Union, it would easily be remembered.


    "Mercenary Union can also save money?" The Mercenary Union could have saved money in the first place. After all, it was impossible for aristocrats to carry a bag of gold every time they went out.


    In the end, Ge Yan helped him store the 1000 gold coins into his Mercenary Union and obtained the lowest levelled copper card. The highest levelled card was a Crystal Card, with the middle having a silver card and a gold card.


    His face was filled with a brilliant smile that would never have appeared before, just like a real child''s. He bowed towards Ge Yan and Rex, thanking them 90 degrees, then ran back home with light steps. On the next day, this kid brought his mother and brother Lei Li and left Trice Town, heading towards a new place to live.


    "Are we going to the Tasha Forest as well?" asked. Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment now knew that Carlos and the others had gone missing before Tasha Forest, so Regiment Commander Locke would definitely take a walk around once. Carlos and the other two had indeed died in Tasha Forest, but he didn''t really understand why he could lure them there.


    Rex suddenly stopped and turned back to say the longest sentence they had ever known: "Carlos and the other two are dead, but you are not dead yet. Now there are only two results, one is to completely abandon Jimmy''s identity and become another person.


    If there was someone else, it would be him who would choose the first one. Who wouldn''t want to live with his true identity, and besides, Jimmy''s situation was a little special, it would be easy to leave behind hidden dangers, because he wasn''t sure if anyone else knew or had seen Jimmy''s true appearance before. If there was someone else, their lies would be exposed, which meant that they would have been handed over to the other party.


    Rex looked at him but did not say anything.


    After that, the two of them found a bounty related to Holy Beast s on the Mercenary Union s quest list. The Mercenary Regiment s as well as the ones that were not named were all there, and the highest bounty on the Mercenary Union s was the wealthy and imposing Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment s. The lowest requirement was that the other party had the cultivation of a Advanced Swordsman or a Mage.


    Ge Yan realized that they had an innate advantage, and that was the location of the Holy Beast. Originally, they did not know but they did not have the chance to see it written down on the paper slip.


    Rex bought some food in the town, the majority of which were bread and Magic Beast meat, as well as a few bottles of fruit wine. The two walked into an alley, and when they walked out again, they had already lost a large amount of food.


    However, this type of storage space was usually not too big. For example, Regiment Commander Locke of Black Wolf, the storage space on his waist is usually not too big, but he can only store one of the twelve boxes on his belt, and the amount of storage space in each box is also limited. And this is only a relatively good storage space.


    Ge Yan also had a storage belt, it was Jimmy''s, and inside it was a little gold coins, not much, and the space was not big either. There were only five boxes, and a bunch of random things.


    The area of the Tasha Forest was very large, and there were many powerful Magic Beast dwelling there. Without a bit of true strength, one would not be able to stay inside for a day, and the least they could do was to have the strength of an Intermediate Swordsman.


    Not long after, the two arrived at the entrance to Tasha Forest. More than half of the mottled blood stains on the ground were buried by sand and footprints, and the bloodstains on the two stones had already turned black.

 C16

    Rex took out two swords from his storage ring. One of them was the one Carlos used to kill him that night, and there were a lot of dried up blood stains on it.


    He didn''t understand it then, but when he recalled it now, it was probably for this moment.


    The other sword was Ariel''s and even the sword scabbard was very clean, because at that time, he did not even have the chance to pull it out, but obviously, it could not be used in such a clean manner. Rex made a bit of dirt and threw it near the entrance, creating a false impression that they were in trouble but might still be alive.


    Ge Yan watched as he finished everything, counting and counting, there were only two swords, three of them had died, the three young masters were all from Swordsman, could the third sword have any other uses?


    An hour later, someone found Carlos''s treasured sword in the grass. The treasured sword was engraved with the symbol of the Treacherous clan, which was precisely Carlos''s clan.


    When they thought about the bounty missions that the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment had issued a few days ago, as expected, they found another treasure sword in the vicinity. The two swords were then brought to the Regiment Commander Locke.


    He was so shocked that he did not dare to wait any longer, and immediately had the person bring him to the treasured sword''s location, and then they found a few ''witnesses''. The person claimed that they did indeed see a lot of Magic Beast''s corpses and blood at the entrance that night, and also some scraps of clothes.


    When Regiment Commander Locke heard this, his face turned black. He no longer dared to imagine how furious those few people would be if they knew that Carlos''s three young masters had been killed, and how he would definitely be implicated.


    "Captain, don''t worry. It''s not like we don''t have the chance to make amends."


    The one who spoke was Ma Wen, he was Regiment Commander Locke''s trusted aide, unlike the vice-captain who wanted to pull him off the horse at all times, he trusted him the most. Hearing this, he immediately understood what Ma Wen meant.


    "You mean the Holy Beast?"


    "Exactly, as long as we can obtain that Holy Beast, Duke Xian wouldn''t make things too difficult for you with your help, furthermore, we still have a way out. We only found the swords of the two young masters Carlos and Carlos, they might not have been killed, and Young Master Sayin and Jimmy, as long as we can find them, we should be able to know what happened at that time."


    Regiment Commander Locke felt that what he said made sense. He immediately sent a few of his men to find Sayin and Jimmy, and the rest followed him to capture the Holy Beast. Compared to finding the person, the Holy Beast was much more important, because even if he found the person, he would not be able to escape his responsibilities.


    After a day and night of travelling without rest, Ge Yan and Rex finally arrived at the vicinity of the Moonlight Ridge. Along the way, they met a few high level Magic Beast.


    As for Moonlight Ridge, this forced them to mention that Magic Beast of the seventh level, the Gale Demon Wolf, was a high level Magic Beast that only resided in the depths of the forest, which was also Moonlight Ridge. Normally, it was impossible for it to appear at the edge of the Tasha Forest, however, the Magic Beast they met that night was the Gale Demon Wolf.


    In order to do the whole show, they came here on purpose.


    Throwing Cessy and Jimmy''s swords into the Moonlight Ridge, Rex left some more clues before hurrying to his next destination, which was the Yin Wind Mountain Range. It lingered in the center of the Tasha Forest and was split into two gigantic mountains in the north and south side of the forest.


    Ge Yan panted as he walked. His body that was more than half recovered now became heavier instead of resting, and his chest felt like it was in pain, giving him attacks from time to time. He could not hold himself back anymore, he leaned against a big tree, his hair was drenched in cold sweat, and his face was as white as paper.


    Rex walked a few steps and noticed that the footsteps behind him had disappeared. When he turned his head to see this scene, his expressionless face creased into a frown before disappearing.


    "I have a sore wound and would like to rest. Why don''t you go first?" Ge Yan thought that he was here to rush him, so he did not realise that there was something wrong with his words. If Rex still did not believe him, then sending him away like this would actually make Rex suspect that he was planning something, and the trust he built up would return to before liberation.


    Rex stared at his face, his eyes focused and a bit sharp. This person was able to hold on until now, and could endure even more than he had expected.


    If it was a normal day, Ge Yan would definitely have sensed it, but now he was only concerned with the pain.


    A ball of white-gold light appeared in Rex''s hand, and the ball of light entered Ge Yan''s chest. Like last time, the pain slowly disappeared, and by the time he came back to his senses, all his internal injuries had healed.

 C17

    "What''s the name of this spell?" Ge Yan could not help but exclaim. This should be a spell with healing powers, he did not know the name, and in his previous life, he did not read much novels or movies, but it was something that he had seen a long time ago. He had completely forgotten about it.


    Rex''s eyes flashed with surprise, "You don''t know?"


    "Should I know?" Ge Yan looked at him suspiciously. Although he had obtained Jimmy''s body, he could not obtain''s memories, if not he would not be as blind as he was now. He would have to rely on him for everything.


    Rex did not answer, but said, "This is light magic, also known as light magic. Only people with talent in light can use it."


    "Then do I have any talent in the light element?" Ge Yan was immediately excited. Wasn''t this supposed to be a wet nurse in the game? He had played this kind of game before, although the combat power wasn''t too strong, but in this kind of world, it was a very good way of protecting his own life.


    Rex coldly shook his head, "Ask yourself."


    Ge Yan was disappointed. He felt that he wouldn''t have it, but he still didn''t give up and asked: "How can I know if I have this kind of Inherent Skill?"


    "Mage''s Guild can be tested." Rex''s last sentence paused for a moment, before he lightly added: "If you want to go after this, then you can go after the assessment. Right now, business is more important."


    Ge Yan nodded, this was the only way.


    Just as the two were about to start their journey again, they suddenly heard two loud voices arguing in front, it was not loud, but just as they were about to pass by, they realized that it was two adventurers. They should also be mercenaries, and with the cover of the trees, they did not notice their presence, one of them suddenly kicked a sturdy tree, causing the leaves to fall down onto the ground.


    "Don''t think that I don''t know what you are thinking. You obviously want to keep this Magic Beast Egg for yourself first." The man who kicked the tree turned around and scolded his companion in dissatisfaction.


    "John, calm down. Don''t tell me you want to attract others over?" Jay frowned, the hands holding onto the Magic Beast Egg tightened without leaving a trace, as though he was worried that John would make a move.


    John who was called out suddenly laughed coldly, "It''s fine for me to be calm, but I want this Magic Beast Egg, that Holy Beast for you."


    "No way!" Jay rejected him without thinking. He would only agree to the other party''s request if he was stupid.


    John had already seen through his true face, so hearing this, he was not surprised at all. His face immediately revealed a ridiculing look, "You don''t even want that Holy Beast yourself, why are you giving it to me?


    "But don''t forget, our plan was perfect. If it wasn''t for you making a mistake in the middle of it, that Holy Beast would not have escaped. Why did you make such a mistake that I have to bear the risk?" He could not refute this fact because Jay did not want to fall out with him. It would be bad for him if he did that, but in order to stabilize him, he had thought of a compromise.


    "Actually, there''s no need for us to waste our time arguing here. Right now, the most important thing is to find that Holy Beast before the others do, it''s good that we can find it, but if we can''t, then we can discuss the location of the Magic Beast Egg later."


    These words were more or less what John was thinking, he said that he did not care about the Holy Beast, after all, it was a genuine Holy Beast, and the egg in Jay''s arms could not be guaranteed that it was a Holy Beast before confirming, but the chances were still very high, because the cave where they stole the egg was the Holy Beast''s cave.


    "What about the egg?" Living things couldn''t be stored inside the storage space.


    The egg was a little big, so it was obviously not suitable to be kept in his bosom. If he met other adventurers or Mercenary Regiment, the risk of being discovered was huge, and they might not be able to protect themselves, but it was best to find a safe place to hide. His suggestion was subsequently approved by John, and the two of them would probably stay inseparable for a period of time.


    Ge Yan watched as they hid their Magic Beast Egg and then watched them leave together. Suddenly, he had a feeling that he was eating meat with the Son of Fate, that a Magic Beast Egg and possibly a Holy Beast, had fallen into their hands so easily. If he was them, then when he returned and saw that the Magic Beast Egg was gone, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.


    After the two had left, Ge Yan ran over to dig out the Magic Beast Egg they were hiding in. He brought it in front of Rex, grinning from ear to ear.

 C18

    "I actually didn''t bring such an expensive Magic Beast Egg with me. No matter how inconvenient it is, only by putting it on my own body will it be safest. But is this really a Holy Beast egg?" This was the first time he had seen a Magic Beast Egg. It was indeed ten times bigger than an egg he had seen before, and its shell also felt relatively hard. Other than that, there was nothing else special about it.


    Rex didn''t know either, but a young Magic Beast like his was rarely seen. Unless it were someone who had specifically studied this type of knowledge, no one else would be able to see it from the outside.


    Ge Yan put down the egg in his hand, and a thought suddenly flashed across his mind: "Could the Holy Beast that they are talking about be the one that Jimmy was talking about?"


    From their conversation, they could roughly guess what had happened. In other words, the two of them were lucky enough to find the location of a Magic Beast, with a Holy Beast and a Magic Beast Egg inside. In order to capture the Holy Beast and steal the Magic Beast Egg, the two of them lured the Holy Beast away, but after obtaining the Magic Beast Egg, they accidentally let the Holy Beast go.


    "But I don''t really understand, aren''t the Holy Beast very powerful? Those two people don''t look that powerful either. From their tone, it seems like as long as there''s no accident, the Holy Beast is definitely theirs."


    If the problem was not the Holy Beast, then what methods did they use?


    "Are we still going to the Evil Wind Mountain Range? They seem to know the specific direction of the Holy Beast. " Ge Yan looked at Rex, who had not spoken much from the start, even though he had not talked much in the first place.


    "No need." Rex''s low and deep voice carried a heavy sense of quality. If Ge Yan was a girl, he would definitely have a huge favorable impression of him because of this voice, because it was simply too pleasing to listen to, and too manly.


    "Why?"


    "Some Magic Beast have a special reaction towards their relatives, especially the Holy Beast. The Holy Beast can take the initiative to sign a Guardian Contract with the baby, and through the Guardian Contract, they can sense the approximate location of the target." Rex used a calm and indifferent tone of voice to speak his pleasant voice, causing people to suspect if there was anything else on the Ezra Continent that could attract him.


    "How do you know that Holy Beast will sign a protection contract with this Magic Beast Egg?" Ge Yan asked curiously.


    "The object in the Guardian Contract hasn''t broken through the shell, and lines will appear on the eggshell."


    Ge Yan immediately turned the Magic Beast Egg in a circle, and sure enough, there were a few lines at the back. The lines were a little light, and couldn''t be seen in detail, "There really is one, these Magic Beast are too cautious, they took precautions before the baby is even born, and those two definitely didn''t find it, if not, they wouldn''t have needed to look for the Holy Beast at all, and would have directly carried it and waited for the Holy Beast to take the initiative to come to our doorstep."


    Therefore, if a chance was given to you, you would miss out on those people. He suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for those two, and when they found out the truth, they would definitely suffer a huge blow.


    The time and place were on their side, so there was no need to go to the Evil Wind Mountain Range.


    "Where are we going to wait for the Holy Beast?" Since Holy Beast were so powerful, they should at least find a place that was beneficial to them.


    "No, just wait here."


    Ge Yan looked at him in surprise, only to see that the man''s pair of deep blue eyes had become extremely deep at this moment.


    When they were carrying the Magic Beast Egg and waiting for it to come, on the other side of the mountain, someone discovered the tracks of the Holy Beast, and after the news quickly spread, a large group of people rushed to the mountain and created this commotion. It was caused by Jay and John who did not know that they were helping others.


    Don''t underestimate the age of that Holy Beast, it was born a Holy Beast. This showed how powerful its bloodline was, so even if it did not receive the complete inheritance, its power should not be underestimated.


    Jay and John were merely high level intermediate Swordsman, they relied on their own means to gain an advantage from its claws previously. But now that they had their guard up, trying to catch it was simply wishful thinking. A bolt of lightning abruptly struck the completely unprepared John, causing him to instantly suffer from no small amount of injuries.


    "It''s actually a dual attribute Holy Beast?"


    They had originally thought that the Shadow Winged Tiger was just a wind-type Magic Beast, but now that they realized that it was a dual-attribute Magic Beast, there was a better explanation for why it could escape from their trap. The battle prowess of the dual-attribute Magic Beast was definitely higher than the single-attribute Magic Beast.


    "John, let''s retreat. The commotion here must have caught the attention of others, at least we still have that Magic Beast Egg." Jay was also a little afraid of this twin elemental Holy Beast. It had to be known that it was not a good thing to be targeted by it.


    John was injured, and agreed to his suggestion without even thinking. However, the two wanted to escape safely, but they still had to ask if the Shadow Winged Tiger agreed to it. After stealing its Magic Beast Egg, it had already made up its mind to kill these two despicable and shameless humans at Sky Cliff Sea Horn.


    As a result, the two discovered that the Shadow Winged Tiger''s attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer. John''s injuries became heavier and heavier, and even Jay was slightly injured.


    Just as they were about to be killed by the Shadow Winged Tiger, a group of people appeared.

    This group of people were precisely the ''old acquaintances'' Regiment Commander Locke s of Ge Yan and Ge Yan. Currently, there was no trace of Jay and John in his eyes at all.


    Initially, he thought that it would be impossible to find this Holy Beast. As long as he caught this Holy Beast, even if Norman could only find Young Master Sayin''s corpse or news of his death, the Duke would not blame him for it. Thinking of this, the Regiment Commander Locke''s gaze on the Shadow Winged Tiger became more and more passionate, and just as he was preparing to give the order, another group of people suddenly came over.


    Seeing the leader, Regiment Commander Locke''s face immediately changed.


    "Black Crow, why are you here too?"


    "You being able to come, why can''t I come? Tasha Forest isn''t yours alone." Black Crow was a mature man, and because he looked young, he looked to be around 30 years old. In fact, he was already 70 or 80 years old, and although he was clearly a mercenary leader who licked blood off his blade, when he smiled, he looked like a gentle and refined gentleman.


    He was the leader of the crow''s Mercenary Regiment, and his code name was Black Crow. In a sense, he was also a sword master, and was a person who was on par with the Regiment Commander Locke. However, what was different about him was that crow also represented killing.


    The Regiment Commander Locke said with a dark face, "Then we will have to depend on each other''s abilities."


    Black Crow laughed, "Alright, if I catch this Holy Beast, don''t come snatch it away from me."


    "That will depend on if you have the ability to defend." After Regiment Commander Locke said this, he pulled out his sword and rushed towards the Shadow Winged Tiger like a bolt of lightning.


    "I never thought that Regiment Commander Locke was such a despicable person." Black Crow laughed, but his movements was not slow either.


    On the other side, Jay and John took advantage of the moment when everyone''s attention was focused on the Shadow Winged Tiger''s body to secretly escape from the scene. Their escaping speed was so fast that it was completely impossible to tell that they had sustained injuries, and it was only when they could not see anyone nor hear anything that they slowed down their pace.


    With the matter at hand, the two finally gave up on the Shadow Winged Tiger. After all, there were so many people who wanted to obtain the Holy Beast, and they were only two small fries. They couldn''t afford to keep watch over the only Magic Beast Egg, so the two of them returned to the place where the Magic Beast Egg was hidden.


    "John, I''ll be watching. Go and dig out the Magic Beast Egg." Jay suddenly said to John.


    The first reaction John had was unexpected, the second reaction was that he did not expect Jay to trust him so much, but the grudge he had from the previous argument had weakened a little instead. Relieved, he turned around but did not see the vicious expression on Jay''s face the moment he turned around.


    If it was a normal situation, John would have been able to dodge critical spots, but that battle with the Shadow Winged Tiger caused his injuries to be quite severe, and his fighting strength had been greatly reduced.


    "Jay!" John glared at him venomously as he fell to the ground.


    Jay looked down at him and revealed a complacent and wild smile, "You are too naive, did you really think that I would share that Magic Beast Egg with you? How could I possibly share it with a fool like you? As long as I sell it or offer it to a great noble, my future life will be guaranteed, and I will no longer have to live in a place where I can lose my life at any time. "


    John was so angry that he attacked his heart, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he tilted his neck, not even having the time to say a word before he died.


    Without a shred of mercy, Jay kicked away his corpse and stabbed the sword in his hand to the side. He used his bare hands to dig away the dirt on the ground, but he did not notice this, he excitedly dug up the soil, but he did not see any signs of any Magic Beast Egg, and was instantly stunned, "No?", "How could he not see any Magic Beast Egg?", he mumbled to himself, but his hands did not stop moving. Very quickly, he dug a huge hole, but there was nothing.


    "Could it be that John dug out the Magic Beast Egg ahead of time? "Impossible, absolutely impossible! We''ve been together the entire time, and he didn''t even have the chance to sneak over. Could it be that he was discovered by someone else and was taken away?"


    This conclusion made Jay so angry that his eyes turned red. This possibility was the highest, he angrily smashed the ground with his fists, until his hands were red.


    Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from behind him.


    Jay turned his head abruptly, his attention not only not looking at the other party''s appearance, but instead landing on the Magic Beast Egg in his embrace. His face quickly revealed a look of ecstasy, and in the next second, he stared at the other party viciously: "It''s you who stole my Magic Beast Egg, put it down!"


    He was Ge Yan.

 C20

    Jay did not naively think that he was the only one, in fact, when he said this sentence he had already been scanning his surroundings vigilantly. Soon enough, he saw Rex leaning on a tree, compared to Ge Yan who looked as weak as a chicken, Rex''s existence had caused his guard to immediately rise to the peak, his right hand immediately grabbing onto the sword at his waist.


    "Who are you? Why are you stealing my Magic Beast Egg?"


    "Are you sure this is your Magic Beast Egg?" Hearing this, Ge Yan felt it was funny, and touched the egg in his arms.


    It''s impossible, it''s impossible for the two of them to know the origins of this Magic Beast Egg, he must be trying to trick me, "This Magic Beast Egg was buried here by me, it''s not mine, if it''s still yours, if you''re sensible then give it back to me, I won''t pursue the matter of you stealing my Magic Beast Egg."


    "You are too thick-skinned. You obviously stole the egg, yet you dare to steal my Magic Beast Egg and my Magic Beast Egg. I also said that whoever has this Magic Beast Egg will own it." Ge Yan smiled, he was not affected by Jay''s killing intent at all. He was weak, but he could not resist Rex.


    As expected, they knew.


    What was left was his fear of Rex. He had not spoken a word from the beginning, but the feeling of his existence was so strong that it made his scalp tingle, he felt that this person was definitely not someone to be trifled with, but it was impossible for him to give up on the Magic Beast Egg. For the sake of this Magic Beast Egg, he had even killed his companions, and he would kill whoever dared to obstruct his path.


    Thinking about his glorious future, Jay put away the hesitation in his heart. If he did not give it a try, how could he know that this man was not as strong as he thought he was?


    shrugged and retreated back to Rex''s side. As expected, wealth and power were things that people could bet all on, in truth, even if Jay did not intervene, Rex would not let him go.


    In the beginning, he couldn''t understand why Rex was staying here, because if he was discovered, the existence of Magic Beast Egg s could possibly be leaked out. But later on, he thought that Rex was probably trying to kill all the people who knew him, so there wasn''t a wall in this world that didn''t leak out wind. Carlos was still a hindrance, but he wasn''t even qualified to call for help.


    The naive Jay would pay the price for his desire very quickly. Before he died, he regretted killing John so quickly, so maybe he would have a chance to escape.


    The air was filled with the smell of blood.


    Rex''s killing methods were always bloody, he would never stop until he cut someone into pieces. However, the stench of blood could attract all the Magic Beast nearby, and if they got surrounded and attacked, it would be troublesome.


    Just as the two of them were about to move away, a loud explosion sound came from afar, causing the ground to tremble slightly. They could even feel it from the distance, showing how powerful it was.


    The Magic Beast Egg in Ge Yan''s embrace almost fell, scaring him to the point that he was covered in cold sweat. His mind unknowingly formed a picture of a pool of egg yolk, and beside the yolk liquid, there was also a conversation bubble. The words "I died a miserable death" appeared from the yolk bubble, causing him to silently wipe away the cold sweat, before quickly throwing this strange scene out of his mind.


    Rex looked in the direction of the sound, precisely towards the direction of the Yin Wind Mountain Range.


    "What just happened?" Ge Yan supported his Magic Beast Egg and asked.


    Rex suddenly looked over, his gaze landed on the Magic Beast Egg in his embrace. To be more precise, it was hidden under his clothes, causing his stomach to grow a size bigger, like a woman with six armors. He was already nine months old, and his eyes suddenly revealed an unspeakable weirdness, as if he was looking at a lunatic.


    Seeing him looking at his own stomach, Ge Yan didn''t know what he was thinking. Being stared at by his eyes made Ge Yan feel a little awkward, he dryly laughed and explained, "This way it wouldn''t be so easy to throw an egg. Other people probably wouldn''t have thought that there was a Magic Beast Egg here, right."


    Rex looked at him deeply, then walked towards the Yin Wind Mountain Range.


    hurriedly followed, and immediately he tasted the taste of the "ninth month of gestation". The Magic Beast Egg bounced on his stomach as he walked, and that feeling of something hitting his stomach was extremely pleasurable, like a pregnant woman. This thought flashed across his mind and struck his head like a bolt of lightning, and he finally understood why Rex was using such a strange gaze to look at him. After much soul-searching and self-criticism, he finally got into the right position.

 C21

    The two of them were not far away from the Yin Wind Mountain Range, and not long after, they arrived at their destination. Near the place where they had heard the loud noise, they saw a large group of Magic Beast s rushing down from the mountain before they could even get close to it.


    Some were too close, and just as they cried out, they were quickly drowned in the pile of Magic Beast. Others did not escape in time, and were besieged by a few Magic Beast, and were torn into pieces on the spot.


    Without saying a word, Rex carried Ge Yan on his shoulder and quickly escaped the place.


    There was still some distance between them and the thousand Magic Beast, but quickly a group of fleeing mercenaries appeared behind them. The majority of them were all members of the two Mercenary Regiment, Crow and Black Wolf.


    Rex realized that, he did not put on any disguise, but even if they recognized him, they need not worry, because the message Simon sent them did not include him. On that day, he also did not interact with Carlos and the other three, so Regiment Commander Locke temporarily suspected that he was not around, and even if he did, he would at most ask him if he had seen the four of them that day.


    With him deliberately maintaining a distance, the people from Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment did not have the chance to approach him. The earth-shaking sounds slowly faded away, and they were finally able to escape the fate of being crushed by over a thousand Magic Beast.


    When Ge Yan was put down, his face did not look good, but he looked extremely disgusting. He felt like he was about to vomit as he squatted on the ground with the Magic Beast Egg s he had been protecting with all his might. He vomited for a long time, but it seemed like he did not feel well, on the contrary, he felt even more uncomfortable.


    "Where are we?" Ge Yan wiped his mouth and asked.


    "A camp." Rex replied and walked towards the direction of the voice.


    Such a dangerous Magic Beast Forest actually had a camp inside?


    Ge Yan immediately followed. After walking for a while, he felt like he was suddenly enlightened, that kind of bustling and noisy place that could only be seen in cities and towns.


    On the hillside, there was a tent that only camping could use, and many people were standing around the tent. These people were currently discussing what had happened today in loud voices, and there were some who did not speak, but felt that there was a strong sense of presence, such as the Regiment Commander Locke of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, which had a very gloomy expression.


    From the discussions of these people, they finally knew how the Magic Beast tide came about.


    Originally, when Regiment Commander Locke and Black Crow fought over a Shadow Winged Tiger, they were both sword masters and had very strong powers, so no one could get close to them. Logically speaking, two powerful sword masters together should have had a huge chance of winning against the Shadow Winged Tiger, but the two of them did not want the other party to succeed, so whenever the other party was about to win, the other person would immediately take action and stop them, allowing the Shadow Winged Tiger to escape.


    This Shadow Winged Tiger was very smart, it had directly escaped into the Yin Wind Mountain Range. At that time, the Regiment Commander Locke and the crow did not think too much about it.


    For example, the Holy Beast all had a very strong territorial awareness. How could humans who were acting wildly in their own territory make these Magic Beast angry, and as a result, the scene of over a thousand Magic Beast rushing down from the sky could be seen.


    No one would have thought that such a thing would happen, including the two main culprits of Black Crow and Black Crow. Normally, when there were more than a hundred Magic Beast, it would be a small-scale beast tide, and when there were more than a thousand Magic Beast, it would be a large beast tide.


    For example, Trees Town would be attacked by many large and small beast tide every year. The number of times a large beast tide occurred was one or two times, and every time, a lot of people would die.


    Comparing the two of them, everyone was so scared that they didn''t even have the thought of resisting. It was normal for many people to die, and those who survived would burn incense in their previous lives.


    In this kind of situation, it could be said that Black Wolf and Crow''s Mercenary Regiment could be described as'' losing a man and then losing a soldier ''.


    Now, not only did they let the Shadow Winged Tiger escape, they had also lost many of their subordinates. At that time, the two Mercenary Regiment were the closest to the Sound Wind Mountain Range, when the Magic Beast tide exploded, these people were the first to be affected. Most of the people did not even have time to run, they were stomped to death by the Magic Beast rioting, not because they were weak, but because they were stomped to death alive.


    In just one battle with the tides of Magic Beast, the two great Mercenary Regiment s had suffered heavy losses. Even the Black Crow, who always disguised himself as a smile, could not laugh anymore.

 C22

    So there was actually still someone who wanted to stand out and criticize Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment and crow Mercenary Regiment. After all, it was because of them that caused this wave of Magic Beast to erupt.


    Most of the people had never faced the shock and threat of death caused by a large wave of Magic Beast at such a close distance before. Some of their friends and relatives even died in the wave of Magic Beast s just now.


    However, after seeing the expressions of Crow and Regiment Commander Locke, they hesitated for a moment before dispelling this idea. Smart people knew that this was not a good time, after all, the two captains were not kind people.


    In fact, the two adventurers who were hiding in the corner started to talk bad about the black wolf and the crow. In fact, it wasn''t really a bad thing, it was just a schadenfreude.


    Ge Yan did not want to eavesdrop, it was just that the two of them were really close, the conversation drifted over, and entered his left ear, unable to go out through his right ear.


    "The two Mercenary Regiment, Black Wolf and Crow, have offended quite a few people this time. I don''t think it''s possible for them to regain their prestige back in the future."


    "Is it that serious? Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment should have some kind of background after all. As long as this matter passes, time will sooner or later make everyone forget about today''s matter and complete a difficult mission. The prestige they lost will return soon."


    "That would require someone''s consent."


    His companion said this with an unfathomable smile. It immediately aroused the interest of his friends and Ge Yan.


    "Quick, tell me, what is the situation? Black Wolf and Crow are also in the top ten A grade Mercenary Regiment, could it be that there is still someone who dares to target them?"


    "So what if it''s ten A-ranked Mercenary Regiment, they''re not the only ones! Sometimes, even if they''re all famous, it doesn''t mean that their strength is equal, just that the Galaxy Mercenary Group is the strongest of the ten A-ranked Mercenary Regiment, and that it has hundreds of years of history, and Black Wolf and Crow have only been levelling up for a mere ten or so years, and although they''ve leveled up very quickly in the past few years, they''re still too weak. If it weren''t for the fact that other Mercenary Regiment hasn''t come, do you think that the Holy Beast would be able to fight against them?"


    "The person you''re talking about couldn''t be Xinghe, right?"


    "That''s not it, but that''s not far. Do you know who died in this Magic Beast tide?"


    "How could I know? There were so many dead people, and I didn''t even have enough time to run for my life. How could I have noticed who was dead?"


    "I see. Do you know who Alva is?"


    "Alva? I''ve never heard of it. "


    "Heh, ten days ago, I also didn''t hear that Alva was the grandson of the Alice''s Mercenary Regiment''s vice-captain, Tangles. Just now, I saw with my own eyes that he died in the Magic Beast tide."


    "Heavens, is this true? The Alice s are famous for being protective, and in the entire Mercenary Regiment, not a single one are not abnormal. Especially their Guild Leader, who is so abnormal that even an important name like Mercenary Regiment was given to his daughter, Alice. When I heard that Alice s were not very famous yet, there were countless people who mocked that name, and the number of people who waited to watch them make a joke out of it is countless.


    "Just you wait and see, Black Wolf and Crow, these two Mercenary Regiment are definitely in big trouble."


    When it came to people who protected their own lives, he had seen one in his previous life. This family had one characteristic, and that was that they were unreasonable, regardless of whether it was his own family members'' fault, it was your fault if you dared to bully their family members. But in his previous life, he lived in a world of laws, so no matter how crazy those people were, they could only try to win a full score through talking about others.


    When he came back to his senses, the two men had already finished their conversation and left.


    The Magic Beast tide had persisted for more than half a day before calming down. This was rather fast, as the large Magic Beast tide in the past wouldn''t go away for more than two or three days.


    With a glance, one could see traces of blood everywhere. There were many people who had died, and the number of people who had been stomped to death was even more tragic, their internal organs had all been squeezed out, and even their facial features had been stomped into a pile of rotten meat. Some people could not take it anymore, and vomited out the acid in their stomachs.


    The expressions of Regiment Commander Locke and Black Crow who were walking in front became more and more unsightly. It was not only because of the scene in front of them, but also because of the looks everyone was giving them, that they finally understood that the consequences of this matter were much more serious than they had imagined.


    "Look, that Shadow Winged Tiger has appeared again!" A cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd.


    Everyone''s eyes immediately locked onto the black figure that flashed past them. The first to react were naturally Regiment Commander Locke and Black Crow, and the two people chased after it from the front and back.


    Things had already gotten to this point, so they could only try their best to recover their losses, and the biggest compensation would be this mutated Shadow Winged Tiger. After all, if not for it, they would not have charged into the Yin Wind Mountain Range, and would not have encountered the Magic Beast tide if they did not charge in.

 C23

    Ge Yan and Rex were at the back of the crowd, upon hearing the voice, they also noticed the existence of the Shadow Winged Tiger.


    Why would the Shadow Winged Tiger appear here?


    The Wind Mountain Range was still quite a distance away from here. It should be able to sense that there were a lot of people here, so it was fine to fight one-on-one. However, it still showed up without any hesitation.


    As Ge Yan thought about it, his gaze suddenly fell on the Magic Beast Egg that was wrapped in a cloth in his bosom, and he suddenly became embarrassed. He thought that he knew the reason, this Shadow Winged Tiger must have been found because of this Magic Beast Egg, and when he told Rex his conjecture, Rex''s face did not look surprised at all.


    "Black Wolf and the crow have suffered so much, they will definitely blame it on the Shadow Winged Tiger. The Holy Beast mentioned in the note should be it, do we need to chase after it?" Unknowingly, Ge Yan had already treated the Shadow Winged Tiger as Rex''s possession, and the direction he was thinking about was naturally to save the Shadow Winged Tiger.


    "No, it will come back." Rex spoke with unfathomable profoundness.


    Ge Yan didn''t know why he was so sure that after being surrounded by so many Rankers, the Shadow Winged Tiger would still be able to break through the heavy encirclement and arrive in front of them. If it was possible for them to escape in the direction of the Shadow Winged Tiger, then the opposite direction meant that the Shadow Winged Tiger had to avoid all the humans that could capture it. In any case, he didn''t quite believe it. In order to avoid being seen by others, they still chose to move their position.


    As the sun gradually moved from overhead to the horizon, the forest began to sink into darkness. Dusk was approaching, and the roars of Magic Beast could be heard from afar. It was as if their nature was being suppressed and being released at night was the world of Magic Beast.


    The campsite they had just left had been set ablaze once more, and many adventurers came rushing over. Unless they were powerful mercenaries, no one would dare to walk around in the forest after nightfall.


    Ge Yan did not know about all this, but as he followed Rex, they became further and further away from the camp, and the human traffic became less and less, and he did not even see many Magic Beast s, just when he could not help but want to break the silence, a small rustling sound suddenly came out, the sound became louder and louder, and when Ge Yan looked over, a black figure suddenly rushed out from the grass and pounced towards him.


    He was shocked, and quickly dodged aside, but his movement was not as fast as Rex''s.


    The black shadow was hit down from the sky by Rex and crashed onto the ground with a loud thud. The black shadow seemed to have no ability to resist and it laid on the ground.


    When Ge Yan walked in, he discovered that the black shadow was actually the Shadow Winged Tiger, with the wings on its back hanging listlessly at its sides, making it look extremely miserable. It suddenly revealed a face of surprise, not expecting Rex''s words to hit its mark, it had come to find them.


    Although it was unexpected, but just as Jimmy had said, the Holy Beast still belonged to Rex. If Black Wolf and the Black Crow knew that they were doing this for Rex, they would probably vomit blood, and just as they were rejoicing, Ge Yan suddenly noticed that a pool of blood was slowly forming under the Shadow Winged Tiger''s body. He immediately realized that he was injured, no wonder he was lying on the ground motionlessly.


    Seeing its miserable state, Ge Yan sympathized a little with it. Although its body was much smaller than what he had imagined and it did not have the majesty of a Holy Beast, it was already very impressive to be able to reach this step.


    "Don''t you know healing magic? It doesn''t look good. " Ge Yan said to Rex.


    Rex did not say anything, but walked towards the Shadow Winged Tiger, it suddenly raised its head and revealed a sinister expression, its two sharp and sinister teeth made a threatening sound.


    Even if it had already lost ninety percent of its combat power, the dignity of the Holy Beast would not allow it to show weakness to humans.


    When Ge Yan saw it move, the blood flow became even more fierce, and the wound seemed to become even larger. Ge Yan immediately said, "Don''t be afraid, we don''t have any evil intentions, he just wants to heal you."


    Everyone said that Holy Beast were intelligent, so he should be able to help Rex and give them a good impression.


    Strangely, the Shadow Winged Tiger calmed down and laid its head on the ground again. Its two round black eyes looked at him innocently, and in a second, it turned from a ferocious beast to a cute tiger.


    Ge Yan suddenly had a feeling that the Shadow Winged Tiger was acting spoiled towards him, and this act of acting like a spoiled child carried a sense of grievance, hmm, it must be his imagination.


    Looking at it again, the other party was still wearing the same expression, and his expression seemed to be even more wronged, so it was not that he had seen wrongly, but the mini Shadow Winged Tiger was really acting coquettishly towards him.


    A complete blank!

 C24

    Ge Yan took the initiative to approach the Shadow Winged Tiger, and sure enough, it did not reject him. Its bright black eyes flashed with an excited light, and the tail behind it began to shake more and more, becoming faster and faster, like a cute tiger waiting for its master to scratch it. Was this cub really a Shadow Winged Tiger that had laid down the two captains, Black Wolf and Black Crow? He had a feeling that something was wrong.


    He did not dare to be overly confident, as this might be a move that the Shadow Winged Tiger was trying to use to make him let go of his guard. He did not forget what the Holy Beast had done during the day, and how it was still able to find him despite being surrounded by the Regiment Commander Locke and the rest.


    A minute later, Ge Yan squatted on the ground and touched the Shadow Winged Tiger''s head speechlessly. The mini Holy Beast''s eyes narrowed in comfort, and if not for the fact that its stomach was injured, its brain would have formed a picture of a cute tiger rolling on the ground.


    Speaking of injuries, Ge Yan took a closer look at its wounds and discovered that they were even deeper than what he had seen just now. At this angle, he could actually see the white bones that had been flipped over, and it hurt so much just thinking about it, but it was still able to endure it.


    This time, the Shadow Winged Tiger did not resist Rex''s approach.


    The light enveloped its body, and the wound on its abdomen quickly stopped bleeding. Even though Ge Yan had already seen it twice, he still felt that it was mystical.


    However, because the Shadow Winged Tiger''s injuries were somewhat serious, it wasn''t possible to heal them that quickly. At the very least, it would no longer have much of an impact on the Shadow Winged Tiger.


    Ge Yan saw that the wound had stopped bleeding, but the injury still looked bleeding, but Rex had already stopped and asked curiously: "It''s not fully recovered yet, why aren''t it continuing to treat it?"


    As soon as he finished, he knew why.


    The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the dense forest in front of them. Soon after, three figures appeared in their line of sight, and the Shadow Winged Tiger beneath their feet immediately revealed their great surprise.


    It really was like stepping on broken iron shoes, finding a place without any effort at all.


    The three of them rushed over without saying a word, their stance was like hungry sheep pouncing at a tiger, completely disregarding Rex and Ge Yan who were at the side.


    Confidence was definitely a good thing. An excessive amount of self-confidence was sometimes more than just a small loss.


    A swift sword light flashed past, like the speed of thunder, it was so fast that it was shocking. The three people rushed to the fastest person, and hurriedly used their own swords to block it, causing sparks when the swords collided with each other, as well as a force that could not be ignored. That person was instantly blown away, and only when his back hit a tree did he tumble down awkwardly, but his face could not hide the shock.


    The other two companions stopped in their tracks and retreated to the man, "Frank, are you alright?"


    "Small wounds, it''s fine. Let''s attack together, you guys stall them first, I''ll go catch the Shadow Winged Tiger, once we succeed, immediately retreat." Frank''s expression was extremely sinister, but the hand holding the sword was still trembling slightly, with blood flowing out of the tiger''s mouth, although it was a small wound, but it was clearly not as easy as he said, what was hidden was only his scheme.


    The opposing Ge Yan was surprised, because this was the first time he had ever seen a person able to escape from Rex''s sword, his sword technique was always fast and rough, and when one was not prepared for it, it would be very difficult to dodge it, but since this person was able to do it, then it should be very capable, just that he already knew how cruel the continent was, so he did not believe Frank at all.


    His two companions, however, did not doubt his words and agreed with the division of labor. One of them attacked Rex, while the other attacked Ge Yan.


    Ge Yan immediately carried the Shadow Winged Tiger and hid behind Rex.


    When the person who had targeted him saw this scene, his face immediately revealed a trace of disdain. Within the, this kind of person who only knew how to hide behind other people would be looked down upon by others, especially by a man.


    Ge Yan did not feel that it was shameful, he was not a person of this world and had only been in it for a few days, how could he know how to use the power of this world? Furthermore, he did not know what talent Jimmy had, and he did not think that Rex was not strong enough to fight three passersby.


    Rex immediately used his actual ability to prove this point.


    The strength of the two was obviously not as strong as Frank''s. The one who rushed over first conceited did not think he was a problem, and when he raised his head, he only saw a flash of cold light. Then, he no longer had any consciousness.


    The other wanted to take advantage of his companion being entangled with Rex to grab onto Ge Yan, but who knew that his companion wouldn''t even be able to hold on for a single round, and after charging over, he had instead brought himself in front of his companion, causing his field of vision to suddenly flip, and he saw his lower body standing there motionlessly. In the air, his upper body was separated from his lower body, and his bloodied wounds could be seen through his internal organs.


    What happened to him?

 C25

    The plan was a complete failure. Frank''s two companions did not display the effects that he had imagined.


    One of them died instantly, without even having the time to feel fear, while the other one died a painful death. His upper body fell on the ground, and a trail of blood appeared behind him as he reached out his bloodied hands towards Frank, shouting "save me!"


    Frank stared at Rex in fear, like a dark demon who was about to take his life, a burst of cold air suddenly rose from his feet, his intuition told him that this man was extremely dangerous, at that moment, there was only one thought left in his mind, which was to escape, and he ran for his life, and without question he was lucky.


    Just as Rex was about to chase after him with his sword in hand, another voice came over, the voice seemed to indicate there were more than just two or three people there, Rex''s fierce face flashed a trace of gloominess, the black eyes stared straight at Frank''s figure that was running away, a black shadow flashed past, and disappeared in the direction Frank had escaped in.


    In a blink of an eye, Rex''s figure appeared beside Ge Yan. He quickly carried him and ran in the opposite direction.


    By the time those people appeared, not a single person could be seen, leaving behind only two shocking corpses on the ground.


    The person who had been cut in half had already died from excessive loss of blood, and his expression was still that of fear and distortion before death.


    "Such a cruel method." A mercenary said in shock.


    At that moment, another group of people rushed over.


    "Long regiment Locke, it seems that I have underestimated your methods." The person who came was Black Crow, and the first to arrive was Regiment Commander Locke, who mistakenly thought that the person was killed by Regiment Commander Locke, and his words contained a trace of ridicule.


    Regiment Commander Locke frowned.


    "You guys have misunderstood, the person was not killed by our Guild Leader, we were already like this when we first came, we should have been late, that Shadow Winged Tiger might have already fallen into someone else''s hands." His trusted aide Ma Wen stood out and explained.


    The thick smell of blood almost covered the Shadow Winged Tiger''s body. Fortunately, they had caught up in time, and the smell had not completely disappeared. The Shadow Winged Tiger had not completely learned how to control its own strength, which was why they were able to discover a trace of it.


    "If that''s the case, I would really like to know who that person is. Such a bloody method suits my taste quite well and I really want to get to know him." Black Crow licked his tongue sinisterly, a hint of blood on his smile. He forgot to mention, this man had a special hobby.


    "Black Crow, if you want to think about all these boring things, why don''t you think about who took away the Shadow Winged Tiger? If I''m not wrong, this mission is a hidden [S] class mission, crow Mercenary Regiment wants to use this mission to break through to [S] class right?" Regiment Commander Locke suddenly said.


    Black Crow''s face changed, his eyes became sharp, "How do you know?" He did not deny it, because he knew that since the Regiment Commander Locke was able to say it, he must have found out about it from a place he did not know about.


    "How should I know? The most important thing is that our target is that Holy Beast, and right now, someone has snatched the Holy Beast away. If we don''t find the person, it is very possible that he has left the Tasha Forest." At this time, he couldn''t care so much about it. Although Regiment Commander Locke didn''t seem to be in a rush, he was actually the most anxious one.


    To Crow, having failed the S Level Mission, there was still a chance in a few years, but to him, there was no leeway at all. This concerned his future and prospects, how could he not be anxious, and the only one who knew of this secret was Ma Wen.


    "You want to seal off the entrance to Tasha Forest?" Black Crow''s face was slightly pale, and he immediately guessed Yue Yang''s intentions.


    "That''s right." Regiment Commander Locke generously admitted that Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment alone was impossible, but with the addition of Crow Mercenary Regiment, he had a seventy to eighty percent chance of success.


    The Black Crow suddenly laughed, "Your calculations are brilliant, what happens after things are settled? You and I want the Holy Beast, don''t tell me you are willing to give it to me?"


    "Of course not. I have to get the Holy Beast." Regiment Commander Locke''s attitude was very firm.


    "If that''s the case, then what else is there to talk about? Everyone just needs to rely on their own abilities." The Black Crow had expected this would happen, he waved his hands and prepared to leave.


    "How about I trade you something of equal value?" Regiment Commander Locke called out to him.


    At first, Black Crow only suspected a little, but now he was certain that this Holy Beast was extremely important to him. As for how important it was, he did not need to know, and he would not let go of this opportunity. Crow Mercenary Regiment was indeed doing an S Level quest, but there was not only one S Level quest, so they were not really in a rush.


    Black Crow turned around with a smile on his face and once again revealed a smile. Anyone who knew him well would know that this was not a good thing.


    At the same time, Rex and Ge Yan who had left the scene of the crime did not know that Regiment Commander Locke and Black Crow had reached an agreement on a preliminary cooperation. Once the entrance to the Tasha Forest was controlled, it would indeed bring them some trouble.

    When the wind blew past his ears, Ge Yan''s mouth was immediately filled with wind, and he couldn''t even speak if he opened mouth, so he could only shut his mouth. However, for some reason, he felt that his scalp was hurting more and more, and in the end, he couldn''t help but turn around to look, and instantly met eyes with two that were round and large like black diamonds.


    The other party was looking at him innocently, the wind was fiercely pouring into its mouth, its cat face was more than doubled the size of a balloon, its two sharp teeth had turned from domineering to a retard, and what made him most speechless was that its two front claws had somehow gained the power to miraculously grab onto his hair, and its body flapped up and down, swaying back and forth, and its hind legs occasionally kicked twice in the air as if it was more powerful.


    Ge Yan admitted that he had accidentally forgotten about it because he only had two hands left, he could only hold the egg in his embrace. He did not expect that its ability to save itself was so impressive, he was not pleasantly surprised, he only had a stupefied look on his face and almost wanted to ask which acrobatic group it came from.


    After a while, Rex finally stopped, the wind that was blowing painfully on his face also stopped, the Shadow Winged Tiger stuck itself onto the back of his head with a squelch. This fellow also understood the principle of climbing along the pole, and actually sat on his neck with its hind legs spread out, looking like it deserved the beating of the wind.


    Ge Yan instantly had the illusion that his tongue was taken away by a cat, and immediately brought it down with a darkened face.


    The Shadow Winged Tiger hung in his hand, its forelimbs and hind legs curled up together as it blinked its innocent and pure eyes, its large eyes reflecting its figure. Just as it was about to speak, its gaze suddenly noticed the small Jiji below it and it immediately changed its focus.


    "Strange." Ge Yan muttered.


    Rex, who had taken his actions very seriously, "..."


    Ge Yan noticed his gaze and laughed awkwardly: "So this Holy Beast is male, I thought it was female."


    Rex was silent for a few seconds, then took the initiative to ask: "Why is it a female?"


    "I thought this egg was born from it, but I didn''t expect it to be male. Are the Magic Beast giving birth so early now? "It''s not that big, but it feels like it''s got young teeth. For it to lay an egg this big, I can''t help but feel that it''s inconceivable." Ge Yan held the egg in his arms, this time, he was not embarrassed at all, and a discordant scene appeared in his mind.


    "¡­" Rex was once again speechless.


    "What''s wrong?" Ge Yan took note of his reaction.


    Rex looked at him deeply for a second, then retracted his gaze: "Nothing."


    Ge Yan kept having the feeling that something was amiss with his expression, but he couldn''t quite put his finger on it.


    Right at this moment, the Shadow Winged Tiger''s attention finally fell on the egg in his embrace. Its eyes immediately lit up, and with a low growl, it pounced towards him excitedly, and in one pounce, Ge Yan almost fell backwards along with the egg. Even though the Shadow Winged Tiger''s head was not big, it still had some weight, so he simply placed the egg on the ground.


    "Look, Rex, this egg is indeed its child." Ge Yan was also very happy. He squatted down and stroked the Shadow Winged Tiger''s soft head, and the latter squinted her eyes with an expression of enjoyment.


    Hearing him unconsciously call out his name, Rex''s sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, but he did not say anything.


    "Crap." Ge Yan suddenly jumped up, "That person called Frank, he knows that the Shadow Winged Tiger is in our hands, will he tell other people about this news?"


    "Yes." Rex did not pause at all, it was obvious that he had already known about this outcome when Frank had escaped.


    Ge Yan originally wanted to say a few words, but seeing that he did not seem to be worried at all, even though he had always been this cold and expressionless, his heart had also calmed down.


    "We''ve already gotten the Holy Beast. Do we want to leave the forest now, or wait?"


    "We can''t wait. Regiment Commander Locke should already know that the Holy Beast has fallen into the hands of another, and will very likely seal the entrance to the Tasha Forest."


    "With just Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment? Isn''t he afraid of offending people? "


    "Plus a crow, so of course I''m not afraid."


    "But aren''t they hostile?"


    Rex knew that his way of thinking would sometimes be very naive, so he was not surprised at all. He explained: "As long as there are benefits, no matter how hostile the forces are, they will be like grasshoppers on a string."


    "Then what should we do now?" Staying here was waiting for their deaths, going out would also be their death, there was clearly no way to retreat, Ge Yan was a little anxious when he thought of this, even if he was not clever, he knew that their current situation did not allow them to meet the Regiment Commander Locke.


    Rex''s gaze fell on his face, but he did not speak. As he felt more and more uncomfortable, he suddenly shifted his gaze away, landing on the Shadow Winged Tiger who was hugging the egg and looking completely carefree. He suddenly pointed at it and said, "Try taming it."


    Ge Yan had a silly look on his face as he asked, "How do I test this?"


    "Summon your magic power and try to communicate with it. If it accepts your magic power, you will know what to do."


    Ge Yan suddenly hesitated.


    "Why?"


    "Uh, how do I summon out magic power?" After Ge Yan finished speaking, he felt extremely awkward, because it sounded like a very basic thing.


    Rex, "..."


    Seeing him not speak, Ge Yan also knew that this question was very foolish, and explained: "You know that I came from another world as well. The world that I lived in before did not have such a thing, and it was just a world of ordinary people.


    "Close your eyes and feel if there is a warm current in your body. Focus on this warm current and have it gather in your palm, then transfer to the Shadow Winged Tiger."


    Ge Yan was stunned for a moment and immediately followed his instructions. He thought that it would not be possible to feel it so quickly, but to his surprise, this process was not difficult at all, it should be due to his body''s memory instincts, and although Jimmy''s soul had disappeared, his body had actually underwent many years of practice. When he channeled this demonic energy into the Shadow Winged Tiger''s body, it did not resist, but instead very docilely narrowed its eyes.


    When Ge Yan withdrew his magic power, he could faintly feel an indescribable connection between him and the Shadow Winged Tiger. He seemed to be able to feel the feelings of the Shadow Winged Tiger, be it happiness, anger, sadness, every single one of them seemed to be extremely clear.


    "What''s going on? It''s like I''ve made a contract with it. " He was clearly just doing what he felt.


    "It''s an equality contract. If both sides are willing, and the Contractor does not have any thoughts of enslaving Contract Magic Beast, the rules will automatically help you establish an equality contract." Rex looked at him, a profound look flashed past his eyes.


    "And if not willingly?" Ge Yan asked.


    "Unless the Contractor''s spirit is higher than the Magic Beast, he will suffer a backlash, the contract also has a master and servant contract, the Soul Contract, the latter is a shared life, if one party dies, the other party will suffer a backlash, they can only contract a single Magic Beast." There were also some unequal contracts, which were not beneficial to the Magic Beast in the contracts, but there was no need to mention it.


    Ge Yan nodded his head, then suddenly froze: "No, isn''t Shadow Winged Tiger your Holy Beast, how did it become my Contract Magic Beast, shouldn''t you do it yourself, can you remove it this way?"


    "Other than master and servant contracts and other unequal contracts, neither equality contracts nor Soul Contract s are allowed." Rex''s expression did not change.


    Ge Yan was dumbstruck, so was this considered stealing the opportunity from the Son of Fate? He clearly knew that the Equality Contract could not be dissolved, but why did he let him try? Could it be that he did not care about a Holy Beast? Maybe he thought it was a master-servant contract, but he knew he didn''t know anything, so how could he make him do something so risky?


    "You can store your Contract Magic Beast in your space of consciousness now." Rex seemed to not notice the conflict on his face and continued to guide him.


    "What''s in the space of consciousness?"


    "It can also be called Spiritual Space. Only the Magic Beast under the Soul Contract can enter, and concentrate."


    Ge Yan tried it again, and the Shadow Winged Tiger that was curious about him suddenly disappeared. The Spiritual Force then appeared again, and it thought that Ge Yan was playing with it, and happily grabbed onto his leg, wanting to try again. Ge Yan then put it back into his space of consciousness, after a few tries, he became excited, and finally understood the reason why Rex allowed it to contract with him. No wonder he was not anxious at all, there was actually such a mystical space.


    "It''s a pity that this egg can''t contract right now. Otherwise, it could be stored in the Space of Consciousness."


    What he did not know was that Rex actually still had other things that he did not say, because not everyone could have their own space of consciousness. Even if it was Rex himself, he did not have any sort of space of consciousness because only one kind of person in this world could have that kind of ability.


    After settling the problem with the Shadow Winged Tiger, Rex did not plan to stay in the Tasha Forest, and the two immediately set off.


    There were indeed twenty or so people guarding the entrance of the Tasha Forest of Black Wolf and Crow. Anyone who wanted to leave this place would have to accept their scrutiny, and some people were unwilling to offend them, so they might as well compromise, but there were also some people who were very dissatisfied with the result, believing that they would not be afraid of the two Mercenary Regiment at all. This caused quite a few adventurers to agree with them, and so the two sides clashed.


    When Rex and Ge Yan arrived, the two had just finished a round of quarreling, and the atmosphere was slightly tense, as though a bomb that would ignite at any moment, the situation was rather grim.

 C27

    "With so many people guarding this place, if we just go over like this, it would attract attention. It would be bad if the people from Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment recognized you, but they might even recognize me." Seeing that these people were surrounding the entrance so tightly that it couldn''t be breezed, Ge Yan immediately had a bitter face. He didn''t want to be the scapegoat that killed Carlos and the other two, and even more so, didn''t want to be targeted wherever he went due to his eyesight and hair color.


    "Wait for me here." Rex left with these words.


    If Ge Yan had not trusted him more, he would have thought that Yue Yang would leave him behind and just leave. However, after being together with him for the past two days, he still had a kind of blind confidence in Rex, so he decided to hide and watch the show.


    The two groups of people guarding the entrance of the Tasha Forest were both trusted people by their respective captains, and they were also relatively strong, so they were all in order to prevent the person who captured the Shadow Winged Tiger from actually appearing here. When the time came, they would fight and if the person they sent wasn''t strong enough and was snatched by their opponent, it would be impossible for them to snatch it back, so Regiment Commander Locke had sent his trusted aide Ma Wen over, while Black Crow sent his assistant Donglin, whose strength was only second to his.


    Right now, their common opponent was a group of free adventurers. As the number of adventurers increased, both Ma Wen and Eastwood felt a lot of pressure.


    At first, Mercenary Regiment''s reputation had already been damaged by the Magic Beast tide, but now, they were dissatisfied with the sealing of the forest. Ma Wen and Eastwoods seemed strong on the surface, but they were actually a little worried.


    "Everyone listen to me, the reason why Black Wolf and Crow have two Mercenary Regiment bullying us lone adventurers is because they rely on their strength. In their eyes, we are just a bunch of insignificant people, and they simply go too far, I suggest that we attack together. With so many of us, how can we be afraid of them?" An adventurer stood out from the crowd, his indignant words resonating with many people.


    There were indeed people who had suffered a loss to their Mercenary Regiment before, and there were some who were looked down upon by them. There were also people who were already disgusted by their disdain towards others, and for a moment, the sound of their agreement nearly drowned out all other sounds.


    Seeing that they were ready to make a move, Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment and crow Mercenary Regiment were both a little worried. If they really started a fight and their own captain was not here, they might not be able to deal with them.


    "He''s right, we can''t remain silent. I saw them let off a few people with some background just now, but Black Wolf and Crow only bullied us because we have no power, why should we swallow our anger? They are human, don''t tell me we aren''t human anymore?"


    "Well said, all of us will attack together, who cares about that black wolf crow, I don''t believe, even Alice''s Mercenary Regiment has never sealed off this kind of bird thing, why the hell are you two hanging on the back of a crane, it''s just a Mercenary Regiment that was built only in the last ten years, count as a bird!"


    Hearing this, Black Wolf and Crow''s men were instantly enraged.


    "What did you say? Say it again to your father if you dare?" One of the Black Wolf''s mercenary who couldn''t suppress his violent temper glared at the man who said this. If it wasn''t for his companion pulling him, he would have already rushed over and attacked.


    On the surface, Black Wolf and Crow seem to have [A] Class Mercenary Regiment, but who doesn''t know that you two have the least amount of qualifications? Only you two dare to compete with an established power like the Alice, so you guys aren''t afraid to laugh your teeth off. "


    "You''re courting death!"


    The man sneered and was about to counterattack when a loud voice came from behind.


    "I don''t know who the person seeking death is, but I heard that the grandson of Alice''s Vice Guild Leader Tangles, Alva, died in the Magic Beast tide at Evil Wind Mountain Range. This matter was personally witnessed by someone."


    Hearing this, everyone forgot to look for the person who just spoke and exploded after a few seconds of silence.


    Tangles, that madman''s grandson actually died in the Magic Beast tide? They must have heard wrongly. Tangles treasured his grandson so much, how could they let him come here alone with Tasha Forest?


    Almost everyone knew that Alice was a concentration camp for madmen, and their biggest feature was to protect their shortcoming, and even at the risk of their lives. Just like Tangles, his precious grandson was practically a very abnormal person, and if that person was right, when Tangles''s grandson really died in the Magic Beast tide, the two Mercenary Regiment, Black Wolf and Crow, would probably never have peace.


    When Ma Wen and Eastwood thought of Tangles, or even the entire Alice, their faces immediately turned pale white.


    "That''s not it, that person must be trying to take the chance to provoke us, how can Tangles''s grandson die that easily, and we didn''t even get a single piece of information, that person must be spreading rumors, the purpose is to mess things up." The smartest Ma Wen immediately denied the news, because he knew that even if it was true, they could not admit it, but he did not know that his last words of denial were actually the closest to the truth.


    "That''s right, we can also testify that Tangles''s grandson did not appear here." Donglin had already guessed Ma Wen''s motive. At this point in time, the only thing he could do was to echo him and not let this matter spread further. As long as he took the initiative, there would be room for manoeuvre.


    You guys just don''t want the news to spread, that''s all. You guys have offended the Alice, so they will definitely not let you off. Everyone listen, the Black Wolf and Crow are finished, so we don''t need to be afraid of them anymore.


    The adventurers who had seen through their goal all pulled out their weapons and pointed them at the people of Black Wolf and Crow. Their words were filled with great motivation and immediately provoked the courage of many people. They raised their weapons and rushed over one after another.


    It was already too late for Ma Wen and Eastwood to stop them, a few adventurers rushed to their front and had no choice but to pull out their swords to fight, the scene immediately became chaotic, it was unknown who saw the blood, and several people were injured in succession, some people''s eyes immediately turned red from killing, and the situation immediately became unmanageable. Ma Wen knew that it was someone else''s scheme, but he could not stop them.


    Rex, who was in charge of everything, returned to Ge Yan''s side.


    Ge Yan''s jaw dropped. He couldn''t close his mouth for a long time, he just couldn''t wrap his head around it, Rex''s single sentence actually made them fight, and the information he had heard before, could actually have such a huge impact. If it was him, he probably wouldn''t have thought that the two could be linked.


    The two of them took advantage of the chaos and left the Tasha Forest. Almost no one noticed, but the two of them were not the only ones who took advantage of this situation.


    By the time Regiment Commander Locke and Black Crow had led their men here, the adventurers had already fled. The so-called cooperation was only to help them offend even more people.


    Black Crow''s expression was as ugly as his name. If he knew that cooperating with Black Wolf would end up like this, he wouldn''t agree to anything. In the end, he left with his remaining subordinates without even looking back.


    "Captain, there''s something I have to tell you." Ma Wen walked to Regiment Commander Locke with a worried expression. He knew that the leader was angry, but he had to say it out loud, otherwise, if he waited for another two hours, there would be an even worse result.


    "What is it?" Regiment Commander Locke had a gloomy face. He knew that this could not be blamed on Ma Wen and no one would have thought that such a thing would happen.


    "It''s Ailee ¡­"


    "Captain!" He was one of the people that was sent by the Regiment Commander Locke to find Sayin and Jimmy after arriving at Tasha Forest. He was in an extremely sorry state, and his body was covered in blood, so it was obvious that he had experienced a dangerous change.


    Regiment Commander Locke''s gaze immediately turned to him, his expression dark, "Why is there only you, where are the others?"


    The mercenary cried out, "They ¡­ they''re all dead."


    "What happened? I told you to go find Young Master Sayin, didn''t you find him?" Regiment Commander Locke''s rough and crude face suddenly trembled. He didn''t even realize that when he said those words, there was a trace of nervousness on his face. Since he couldn''t catch the Holy Beast, he only had this hope now.


    "There''s also this ¡­" The mercenary took out two swords.


    Regiment Commander Locke suddenly opened his eyes wide, snatching one of the swords, his breathing became ragged: "This is Young Master Sayin''s treasured sword, you have found him?"


    "We found these two swords in the Moonlight Ridge. They fell near the den of the Demonic Gale Wolf. We even found Young Master Sayin''s jade plates there." The mercenary took out a bloodied jade tablet, this jade tablet signified Sayin''s identity, like a treasure sword that would not leave his side. With these two items as proof, Sayin would definitely be in trouble, as for Jimmy, no one would care about his life.


    Regiment Commander Locke''s vision turned black. He had never thought that he would be forced into such a desperate situation.


    Ma Wen immediately held the Guild Leader and asked, "Other than Young Master Sayin and Jimmy''s things, did you not find anything else for the both of them?"


    The mercenary hesitated for a moment and nodded his head, but he remembered that they had already found the swords of the two young masters, and the Magic Beast that had eaten the corpse had confirmed that it was the Demonic Gale Wolf. The two young masters'' strengths were not high, it was impossible for them to escape from the Demonic Gale Wolf''s mouth, but he did not voice out his doubts.


    "Captain, it looks like Carlos and Ariel are still alive." Ma Wen said in a lucky tone.


    "You go back to the town first." Regiment Commander Locke passed the treasured sword and sign to Ma Wen, his eyes filled with an unyielding will. He couldn''t give up until the very last moment, but he, who was holding onto a sliver of hope, didn''t know that there was still a more hopeless news waiting for him in Triese Town.

 C28

    The news of the Magic Beast outbreak had not spread out yet, otherwise, it would have spread far and wide. However, the two Mercenary Regiment, Black Wolf and Crow, as the instigators of it all, did not escape the fate of being discussed.


    On the streets, people could be seen discussing this matter, especially between the adventurers. Although the prestige of the two great Mercenary Regiment s wouldn''t drop to the lowest point overnight, most people were no longer as anxious or respectful as before when they were mentioned. This was also what the Regiment Commander Locke was worried about.


    Rex brought Ge Yan and stopped in front of a strange shop. Rex told him to wait, he went in, and came out after a while.


    After a while, Ge Yan knew what he was going to do. When they walked out of the hidden alley, the cape on his head had already disappeared, and was replaced with brown hair and blue eyes. He then reverted back to his original Jimmy appearance.


    "As expected, it''s still this convenient." Ge Yan stretched and twisted his neck. Ever since he wore the cape, he had never felt as comfortable as he did now. Of course, it would be more comfortable if he did not wear the wig and the change in color crystal card.


    Just as he was thinking, a black cloth suddenly covered his eyes. Ge Yan was speechless to find that Rex had put the cape on his head again, he wanted to take it off, but was stopped by Rex, his strength could not compare to the other party, so he had to rely on his mouth.


    "Don''t I have a wig and a crystal chip? Why would I need to wear a cloak?"


    Rex did not explain and indifferently said: "It would be useful if you could wear it."


    His attitude was both tough and overbearing.


    Ge Yan didn''t understand what he was thinking, and could only endure it, grumbling inwardly in his heart, causing him to be happy for nothing. He thought that Rex had only bought it because he had sensed his feelings, although he was indeed a little sentimental, but there was no need to slap his face so quickly.


    After asking around, they found out that Black Wolf and Crow had returned from the Tasha Forest, and the news of Tangles''s grandson, Alva, dying because of them had also spread. The people who were discussing this matter were even more active than when they had heard about the outbreak of the Magic Beast tide, and it was obvious that people were talking about it wherever they went.


    Ge Yan followed Rex back to the Tasha Forest, and just as he was about to ask the reason, he saw Rex turn around and call out to him.


    Ge Yan was caught off guard and suddenly ate a mouthful of sand, instantly making him dumbfounded.


    Not only did Rex not feel any guilt, he did not stop until the clean and tidy person turned into a pile of dust and dirt once again.


    "I know you don''t like me, but I must remind you that even servants have dignity." Ge Yan spat twice before spitting out the sand in his mouth and shouted at him aggressively.


    Rex coldly looked over.


    However, just as he finished oiling himself, he caught a glimpse of Rex''s hands suddenly raising up from the corner of his eyes, scaring him so much that he quickly held his head, "I was wrong." What dignity. At this moment, his life was not even the least bit important.


    "Wait for me here." Rex threw those words and turned to leave.


    Ge Yan carefully raised his head, Rex''s figure was already nowhere to be seen, and he immediately heaved a sigh of relief, then suddenly realised that he was not trying to take the chance to dump him, this was a burden, and that it was very possible, because he was not Jimmy himself, and was also hiding a secret, giving him 10 guts would not dare to take the initiative to run in front of Jimmy''s acquaintances, and that way, Rex would have no reason to bring him back.


    As he was lost in his thoughts, Rex had returned with a python that no longer breathed, its fatal wound dripping with blood. He did not explain, the moment it appeared, he smeared the snake''s blood on his face and even on his clothes, all that he needed to wipe. Even though he still did not know what he wanted to do, Ge Yan knew that he must have some sort of unspeakable plan.


    Rex also helped himself, but the amount was a bit less, and he still looked handsome and cold.


    Ge Yan looked at him, waiting for him to explain.


    Rex threw the snake body to the side and started to explain the plan to him. Actually, it was just for him to cooperate, but it was very challenging for Ge Yan''s acting skills, because this part of him was the key.


    Ge Yan immediately felt a sense of pressure, as if he was shouldering a huge mission.


    Rex''s thought process was more meticulous, and he noticed the problems that he didn''t notice. The two had prepared all the confessions ahead of time in order to prevent themselves from being questioned separately, and there was one sentence that was extremely disadvantageous to both of them. Rex would absolutely not allow this kind of foolish mistake to occur, so he began to help Ge Yan consolidate his memories repeatedly.


    "Why did Carlos and the other two go to the Tasha Forest, and why did they die?"


    They eavesdropped on the news of the Holy Beast. Carlos wanted to find a Holy Beast, so he instigated us, and we met a few Magic Beast at the entrance, and with great difficulty, we managed to kill a head of Magic Beast. However, a few Gale Demon Wolves appeared, and Carlos and Ariel died.


    "How did Rex save you?"


    Hearing these words, if not for them colluding and confessing, Ge Yan would have thought that his skin was especially thick, "He originally didn''t want to save us, because he was no match for the Demonic Gale Wolf himself. He originally wanted to escape and inform the lot of you, but Sayin just discovered his existence.


    "Your strength is not as strong as Carlos''s, why are you fine after they die?"


    "Ah, didn''t you already say that you saved me?" Ge Yan asked doubtfully.


    Rex said: "The lives of Carlos and the other two are more valuable than yours, so they must be thinking the same thing in the heart of Regiment Commander Locke.


    "Wait, the word ''also'' means something. In your heart, don''t tell me that these dead people are more valuable than me?" Ge Yan looked at him with an injured expression. Although they hadn''t been together for a long time, he thought that they had already developed an unerasable bond.


    "Stop messing around." Rex frowned.


    "I didn''t cause trouble. I asked you this question very seriously. You answer first, and then I''ll answer you." He had to know Rex''s opinion of him today, and this decided his attitude towards Rex in the future.


    Rex did not answer immediately, but only looked at him quietly. Seeing his resolute expression, his precipitous brow wrinkled, and said in a compromising manner: "I don''t think that their lives are more precious than yours. In the eyes of all the members of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, your status is indeed not higher than Carlos''s.


    "Really?" Ge Yan stared intently at his face, not sparing even the slightest of expression.


    Rex nodded speechlessly.


    Ge Yan was finally happy and waved his hand: "Then they definitely know that Jimmy''s strength is not as high as Carlos''s group of three. Furthermore, the place he was standing at just happened to be outside of the range of the Demonic Gale Wolves'' attacks, so he managed to escape this calamity."


    "Very good."


    Black Crow had already left with his subordinates, leaving only Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment behind in the inn. There were no signs of them in the hall, so the two of them went up to the second floor, where they were stopped by two mercenaries at the stairs. One of them suddenly called out Rex''s name.

 C29

    Only after the mercenary shouted Rex''s name did he notice his presence. When he took a look, he couldn''t help but take a deep breath, as if he had been shocked.


    "You are Jimmy?" His companion stared at Ge Yan with his eyes wide open, as if he was extremely inconceivable to be here.


    Just as Ge Yan was about to answer, he heard flustered footsteps as Regiment Commander Locke''s figure appeared in front of them. His gaze lingered on for a second, then looked at Rex beside him, and also looked behind them without stopping. When he realized that there was no one around, he could not hide the disappointment in his eyes.


    "Follow me." With that, the Regiment Commander Locke turned and left with a gloomy face.


    Ge Yan glanced at Rex.


    Rex silently followed the figure of the Regiment Commander Locke.


    The group arrived at Regiment Commander Locke''s room. Without his orders, Ma Wen had the others stand guard outside, and did not let anyone near, before closing the door. Naturally, the less information they had about Carlos and the other two, the better.


    Regiment Commander Locke didn''t say anything after he sat down, he only stared coldly at Rex and her, especially Ge Yan, who was under the greatest pressure. He was the last person to be with Carlos and the other two before they went missing, so he naturally became the prime suspect.


    Ge Yan remembered Rex''s warning, but before he could even think, he fell to his knees and started bawling: "Captain, Captain, I finally meet you, Carlos, Carlos and the others are dead."


    It was just that he was not willing to believe it. Jimmy''s words finally broke through his delusions, and as expected, they died, thinking that not only could he not capture the Holy Beast, but he had also caused trouble for the three young masters under his protection. Regiment Commander Locke knew that not only would his status not be saved, even his life would be in danger.


    "Captain." Ma Wen looked at him worriedly.


    Regiment Commander Locke suddenly stood up, he extended his hand and lifted Ge Yan up from the ground, his eyes red with fury: "How did they die?"


    Ge Yan acted as if he was frightened, and then he blurted out all the details that Rex had handed over to him. Everything was settled later on, and he calmly put Sayin''s death onto the dead man''s body, this way, there was no proof for it, and the two remaining people were still in the same group. Regiment Commander Locke definitely would not think of it, because almost everyone in Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment knew that Jimmy and Carlos were in the same group, and they had always looked down on Rex.


    "They''re actually dead ¡­" staggered a few steps back. His back smashed heavily into the door frame, causing him to groan in pain, as he held onto his chest with a weak look.


    Ma Wen sighed, he knew that the Guild Leader would not be able to accept this fact for the moment, and turned to look at Ge Yan as he frowned: "You said that the reason why Young Master Carlos went to Tasha Forest is because you overheard someone saying that a Holy Beast appeared in the forest?"


    Ge Yan nodded.


    "Who dares to speak of this matter so boldly? Do you see clearly who leaked the news?" Ma Wen''s eyes darkened as he shouted in anger.


    He even told Carlos and Sayin to look for me at the end. At that time, I advised them to tell the captain about it, but Carlos said that the captain already knew about it, and he did not tell us that he definitely did not want us to know about it, and in the end, he even threatened me not to speak about it. How could I have known that his luck was so bad, if Rex had not saved me, I would not have been able to come back. "


    I actually hope that you won''t come back, even if it means that any one of the three young masters of the Carlos family will be more valuable than you.


    Ma Wen thought, then asked him about the process in detail. Even Rex was asked about it, and the two of them answered it extremely closely, but Ma Wen did not notice any loopholes, so he only allowed Ge Yan to go out and rest after catching a glimpse of the deep look of exhaustion on his face. He called for one of his subordinates outside the door.


    "Arrange a room for the two of them to rest."


    His subordinate was stunned for a moment. "Two people in a room?"


    "We don''t have any extra rooms at the inn. Let them stay in one room for the time being. We''ll talk about it when there''s an empty room." Ma Wen''s expression did not change as he finished speaking to Ge Yan. "You two should be able to sleep in the same room, right?"


    Ge Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Alright."


    The subordinate knew that there was still room, but he did not expose Ma Wen''s lies and calmly brought the two of them to the room.


    "Wait a minute, what''s that thing behind you?" Ma Wen suddenly called out to Rex who had turned around, as if he had noticed that there was a round object tied to the cloth behind him.


    Rex expressionlessly told him that it was a Magic Beast Egg, but he did not intend to open it.


    The Magic Beast Egg s were also divided into different grades, Ma Wen obviously did not think that this was a high level or higher level Magic Beast Egg, seeing his extremely calm expression, he did not think much, and only thought that it was a low level or middle level Magic Beast Egg.


    Once they left, Ma Wen immediately called for the people in charge of the Mercenary Regiment over, telling them to thoroughly investigate who revealed the news of the Holy Beast''s cubs.


    On the other side, a subordinate brought Rex and Ge Yan to his room, telling them to find him if they needed anything. Before walking out, he took the initiative to close the door for them.


    Just as Ge Yan wanted to speak with Rex, he was stopped by a glance from him.


    The subordinate standing outside the door stood in the corridor for a while. Seeing that it was extremely quiet, the two of them seemed to have nothing to say. Then, they left.


    Sensing that he had left, Ge Yan moved to Rex''s side and asked carefully: "What''s wrong?"


    "Ma Wen is a suspicious person." Rex only said this.


    Ge Yan understood, and did not speak any further with Rex. As he was indeed a little tired, he fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.


    Rex sat on the opposite side of the bed with an unfathomable expression.


    That night, when everything was quiet, a noise suddenly came from inside the inn, the shouts of the people as well as the running sounds on the wooden floor, a cluster of torches lit up the inn as though it was day, causing Ge Yan to be woken up by the noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw a black figure standing on his bed, which scared him, and he thought that he had met a ghost, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was Rex.


    "What''s going on outside?" Ge Yan lifted his blanket and sat up, he was no longer sleepy at all.


    "I don''t know." Rex answered straightforwardly.


    Fortunately, Ge Yan did not have any hope of getting the answer from him. Putting on his boots, he asked, "Should we go out and take a look?"


    Rex nodded.


    The spacious backyard had become crowded because of these people, and there seemed to be two people kneeling in the middle. Standing in front of them, with his back facing them, Regiment Commander Locke could not see his expression, but his cold and gloomy aura revealed that he was in a bad mood. The two of them continuously begged Regiment Commander Locke for mercy, and said something like ''they don''t dare to do it anymore''.


    Just as Ge Yan wanted to ask Rex, Ma Wen who was in front suddenly turned his head, as if he knew they were standing here, and looked over without hesitation.


    "Why did you guys come out?" Ma Wen intentionally walked over.


    "I heard a sound. Did something happen?" Ge Yan didn''t really understand how Jimmy usually got along with the people from Mercenary Regiment, so he could only try to reduce the feeling of his own existence as much as possible to make himself less prominent.


    "You don''t know them?" Ma Wen suddenly asked.


    Ge Yan let out an ''ah'' sound, as if he didn''t understand what he meant, and said with a blank expression: "Aren''t they members of Black Wolf?"


    Ma Wen saw that he was not pretending and said indifferently: "It won''t be from now on, they are the people who leaked the news about the Holy Beast. If the Guild Leader wants to punish them, do he want to stay and take a look?"


    Ge Yan subconsciously wanted to look at Rex, but thankfully he held back. He looked a little dispirited as he said: "Forget it."


    "That''s good. We''re leaving tomorrow morning. Have a good rest now."


    Ge Yan nodded, without looking at Rex, he turned and left.


    Rex nodded at Ma Wen and followed along.


    Ma Wen watched the two of them walking away with their backs facing each other. Until now, their actions were very normal, as if there was no reason for them to suspect them.


    Back in his room, Ge Yan immediately held onto his chest, "I was so scared, I thought he found something."


    "You just did a good job." Rex praised him.


    Ge Yan was pleased, "I never thought that a casual excuse you said would actually leak out. Luckily they were found out, otherwise Regiment Commander Locke would definitely suspect that we were lying."


    "Not at all."


    "Then how did you know?"


    Rex did not explain. Instead, he walked to the side of the bed and laid down with his eyes closed.


    Ge Yan watched for two seconds, then suddenly realised that this guy had slept on his bed. Although Rex ''saved'' Jimmy''s life, they were originally not compatible, so they could not get close together immediately, Ma Wen had purposely arranged for them to stay together in order to test them out, but Rex could not act too close to him, but Jimmy could. Thinking of this, Ge Yan felt that there was no burden on him anymore, he took off his boots, and stepped on the bed, suddenly he was kicked down, his knee heavily hitting the edge of the bed, causing his face to be pushed away from the pain.


    "Why did you kick me?" Ge Yan lowered his voice and asked angrily.


    "I have to ask you." Rex sat up, and stared at him with narrowed eyes, like a ferocious beast shrouded in darkness.


    Ge Yan was no longer afraid of him, and said confidently: "Of course to sleep."


    "You sleep on the floor."


    "I don''t."


    Rex looked at him with surprise, and his courage grew.


    Ge Yan raised his head and raised his chest.

 C30

    Ge Yan who was not afraid of Rex still slept on the floor in the end, because when Rex raised his hand, he knew that the poor and lowly could not be shifted away.


    The two mercenaries who had leaked the news were finally dealt with. Their voices turned into screams as they disappeared into the darkness. The night had calmed down once again, as if all of this had never happened.


    Ge Yan laid on the ground, suddenly unable to sleep.


    Just when Ge Yan thought that he would ask him why he couldn''t sleep, the sound of insects breaking the silence came from outside the window. When he raised his head, he realised that the other party was already asleep, holding onto his stomach full of curses.


    At dawn the next day, there was a sudden knocking at the door.


    Ge Yan was woken up, but he did not open his eyes, so he turned his body and went back to sleep.


    Rex walked over to open the door.


    One of the mercenaries stood outside and took a quick glance inside, from this angle he could see Ge Yan who was sleeping on the ground, "Captain told you all to wake up, we''re leaving in an hour." The leader was Ma Wen.


    "Got it." Rex closed the door.


    "Why are you leaving so soon? Are you in a hurry?" When Ge Yan heard the mercenary''s words, he immediately got up, without a trace of sleepiness.


    "Something so big happened, don''t you think?" Rex poured a cup of water and rinsed his mouth, then picked up the treasure sword on his waist. He had clearly just woken up, yet his entire being seemed to be in the best state of mind, his deep blue eyes appearing vast and deep under the sunlight.


    Ge Yan thought about it, but then he started to worry, "But I don''t know anything about Jimmy, and other people might not even know, what if I reveal myself?"


    "I know a little."


    "How do you know?" Ge Yan looked at him suspiciously.


    Rex did not reply. Perhaps to him, this was just nonsense.


    An hour later, Ge Yan finished his breakfast and was about to leave. However, there was a heavy atmosphere around the group, the joyous laughter and chatter of the past had all turned into silence, and when they left Trees Town, there were still some people whispering on the road. Although they couldn''t hear what Ge Yan said, everyone knew that in their hearts, and only after they had stepped onto the official road did everyone relax a little.


    Ge Yan followed behind Rex as they listened to him talk about Jimmy''s Mercenary Regiment.


    A young mercenary suddenly walked over from the front, and as if he did not want too many people to see him, his eyes lit up when he saw Ge Yan, and he quickly arrived in front of them. He sneaked a glance at Rex before whispering to him in a familiar tone, "Jimmy, come with me, I have something to tell you."


    The moment Ge Yan heard this person''s name from Rex and his general relationship with Jimmy, he immediately calmed down and followed him to the front.


    "Jimmy, didn''t you hate Rex in the past? Why are you always following him this time?" He even frowned and looked towards Rex''s direction, as if he did not like Rex.


    Ge Yan looked at him strangely: "I used to hate Rex, but that was in the past. After all, Rex had saved my life, if not for him, I would have died a long time ago in Tasha Forest. As a person, I can''t just repay kindness with hatred, right?


    "That''s true." Seeing that, Colin looked embarrassed on the outside and changed the topic: "Is Carlos and the rest really dead?"


    "Did I see it with my own eyes? Even now, I can''t forget. As long as I see the bloody scene, I will immediately think of the tragedy that happened." As if he thought back to the scene at that time, Ge Yan''s face immediately turned pale white.


    Looking at his expression, Colin did not seem to be lying. He rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of tragedy was there? Can you tell me?"


    "I remember there were four or five Whirlwind Demonic Wolves at that time."


    "Aren''t the Demonic Gale Wolves staying in the Moonlight Ridge? Why would they appear at the entrance of the Tasha Forest? And there are four to five of them all at once. There''s too many of them." As Colin imagined the scene, he immediately swallowed his saliva. Oh my god, that was a high level Magic Beast, no wonder a genius like Young Master Carlos died there.


    Ge Yan shook his head, "I don''t know."


    Collin asked a few more questions, but none of them were useful. In the end, he returned resentfully.


    The Jimmy after his rebirth was even harder to get along with compared to his previous life. He only trusted himself, so how could his relationship with Colin be any better.


    The official road was wide and flat, much faster than walking on the small paths, but the Ezra Continent was too big, after a day and a night, the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment finally arrived at Ma Nan City. Ma Nan City was a middle-class city, it was very prosperous, and had an abundant amount of resources, many of the caravans that passed by would choose to stay in the city for a day or two, to rest or to replenish their resources.


    This was the first time Ge Yan had been to a city, and he felt that there was something new about everything, but he did not dare to act excessively, because the original products were not people like this. After his rebirth, Jimmy''s personality was actually quite gloomy, and he was not close to anyone.


    Regiment Commander Locke decided to spend the night in Ma Nan City and leave tomorrow. He asked Ma Wen to bring a few people to buy some food, and then brought some people to find an inn to stay.


    Just as Ma Wen was about to leave, a group of people suddenly came in from the city gate behind him.


    The surrounding people immediately retreated, they did not mind this situation, but stood not too far away to watch the scene. The Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment''s flag was always so ostentatious, and someone quickly recognized it.


    "This is the first time I''ve seen someone who dares to go against Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment."


    The moment these words left his mouth, he was immediately ridiculed by the people beside him, "So what if you have Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment? If you knew who these people were, you wouldn''t have said that."


    "How arrogant. Who are they?"


    "Have you heard of the famous Alice''s Mercenary Regiment?"


    "Heavens, how could Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment offend this madman''s Mercenary Regiment?"


    "You''ll know when you see it."


    Everyone was excitedly waiting for a good show, the Regiment Commander Locke who recognized these people as Alice''s Mercenary Regiment was not in a good mood, especially when he saw the face of the man walking towards him, his expression became more and more gloomy, the muscles on his body tensed up, and there was an extra trace of caution in his eyes while staring at the man.


    "Regiment Commander Locke, long time no see." This was a man who was as handsome as a god. His smile was like a sun god, attracting countless women to fly into the fire, the screams of women came from the crowd, and there were even people shouting the words "Daniel, I want to marry you". Unfortunately, this man was already married, and had a happy and happy family, of course, this was a few days ago.


    "You''re Daniel from Alice, what do you mean by that?" Regiment Commander Locke did not dare to relax even a bit. The person who was bewitched might not know, but he had heard of Daniel''s achievements before. This man with a handsome appearance and warm smile was even worse than the madman Tangles.


    Daniel smiled gently, "Does Regiment Commander Locke not know what I mean?"


    Regiment Commander Locke frowned, knowing that this matter would not be good, "If you came here for your son, I am very sorry. Magic Beast Forest are extremely dangerous, and no one wishes for that kind of thing to happen."


    "So, the Regiment Commander Locke wants to say that my precious son Alva''s death has nothing to do with you?" Daniel''s smile became brighter and brighter. Anyone who didn''t know him would never think that the man''s mood would have reached the peak of explosion.


    "I don''t think it matters." Regiment Commander Locke sneered in his heart. Although Alice are strong, that did not mean that a dignified sword master would be afraid of a junior whose strength was inferior to his own. It had not been many years since Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment was established, but there was still a noble behind it.


    "In that case, you can go down and accompany Alva in death." The gentle smile on Daniel''s face was replaced with a sinister tone, causing people to uncontrollably shiver.


    When the first person saw blood, the crowd finally realized that this was not a simple act of accountability. The weak ones ran away screaming, and no matter how handsome a man was, he was not as important as his life.

 C31

    Black Wolf was coincidentally called over by the Regiment Commander Locke to buy something on the other hand. Due to the consecutive days of blows, the remaining people didn''t have the crazy strength from the Alice, so they were at a disadvantage in just a single exchange.


    Ge Yan was afraid that he would be exposed, and immediately followed Rex out of the battlefield''s area of effect. In the end, there were two Black Wolf Mercenaries that thought that the range was too small, and so they blocked the attacks from the Alice, and at the same time, followed them into a corner, where they were accidentally protected by two mercenaries, it was a beautiful misunderstanding.


    Not long after, death began to appear on the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment. The ruthless methods and true killing intent finally made the Regiment Commander Locke angry, he never thought that the Alice''s Mercenary Regiment would actually dare to kill his men. After exchanging blows with Daniel, both parties took a few steps back.


    "Daniel, you dared to kill my subordinates. Today, none of you should even think of leaving." Regiment Commander Locke roared in anger, the aura of a swordmaster erupted in an instant.


    As the leader of an [A] class Mercenary Regiment, a sword master was not an expert whose Ezra Continent could be seen everywhere. Furthermore, Regiment Commander Locke had been stuck at this realm for many years. In these few years, it was impossible for his cultivation to not advance at all.


    Receiving the attack from the front, Daniel raised his eyebrows and smiled: "No wonder Regiment Commander Locke is so confident, to think he is already a ninth stage swordsman."


    Each rank was divided into a total of one to nine stages. A sword master at the ninth step meant that they had reached Great Swordmaster not long ago.


    "So what if I am? I admire you for your courage, but I have seen many young people who don''t know your limits. Today, if you dare touch the people of my Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your father. " Regiment Commander Locke looked at him with contempt. As a fourth stage sword master, even if he made a breakthrough on the spot, it was impossible for him to win.


    Daniel laughed out loud, "Regiment Commander Locke, you better not mention my father. If he was here, I''m afraid you would have to escape with your tail between your legs."


    "That''s truly a pity. Your father is not here. The person who will be escaping with his tail between his legs is you." The Regiment Commander Locke laughed coldly, and suddenly made his move.


    His sword was 1.5 metres long and wider, and also dozens of times heavier than normal swords. When he swung, he could hear the sound of wind, and when he swung his sword, he smashed the floor that Daniel was standing on into pieces.


    Daniel retreated a few steps, but did not reveal the least bit of fear on his face. The warm smile on his face gave birth to a bit of evil Qi, and his ice-green eyes revealed a cold look.


    "Come out, my friend."


    A black figure burst out from Daniel''s embrace into a streak of black light and landed in front of him. With a roar, it transformed into a tall and mighty Blue-eyed Ferocious Lion.


    Seeing the Magic Beast, Regiment Commander Locke''s face immediately turned as ugly as if he had eaten shit. His eyes revealed deep shock, and he yelled out: "You actually have a Contract Magic Beast?"


    It was no wonder that Daniel, who was only a Level 4 Sword Master, dared to challenge him. He originally had a mature Magic Beast, but this was not what shocked him the most, what he was truly shocked about was the aura this Magic Beast was emitting, it was actually a mature Holy Beast.


    "Hehe, Regiment Commander Locke can also go contract a Saint Level Magic Beast." Daniel stroked the Jade-Eyed Lion''s fur, but his smiling eyes were filled with deep malice.


    The stronger the Magic Beast, the more difficult it was for it to kneel at a human''s feet. Forcefully contracting the Magic Beast would cause it to suffer a backlash, and it was extremely likely that the loss would not make up for it, unless it was a newborn or a young cub that had not broken the shell yet. In this state, it was the easiest for the Magic Beast to contract, because their Spiritual Force might not be stable yet, or they might be very weak, but the stronger Magic Beast had a stricter opinion of their young, so it was difficult for humans to take advantage of them.


    This was the reason why so many people in Triese Town rushed over one after the other the moment they heard about a young Holy Beast. Having a young Holy Beast could not only nurture their relationship from a young age, but also help them greatly when they grew up.


    Daniel''s strength was one level lower than the Regiment Commander Locke, so logically speaking, he wouldn''t be able to defeat the Regiment Commander Locke. However, he had a Saint Level Magic Beast, and an adult Holy Beast''s sharpness made even the Regiment Commander Locke have to avoid half of it.


    "What do you want?" When the Holy Beast appeared, he knew he had no chance of winning.


    "I have already said it before, Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment must bear half of the responsibility for Alva''s death." Daniel laughed and said.


    The other half naturally belonged to Crow Mercenary Regiment, but Regiment Commander Locke didn''t feel too happy. One must know that even if it was ten percent, the consequences wouldn''t be too good.


    "Captain." Ma Wen and a few of his subordinates finally rushed over.


    Seeing him, Regiment Commander Locke suddenly had more confidence. Although he couldn''t beat the mature Holy Beast, but if he could delay it, Ma Wen could deal with Daniel.


    It had to be said that Ma Wen was a very qualified confidant, most of the time, he would immediately understand what Regiment Commander Locke meant by just a glance. Although he was not there, it did not stop him from guessing what Regiment Commander Locke was thinking.


    Daniel seemed to have seen through their thoughts, the smile on his face became wider and wider.


    "Who is this man called Daniel, he looks so arrogant." Ge Yan who was hiding in a corner whispered to Rex.


    "He must be Avar''s father." Rex said.


    He looks so young. I don''t think that Aval is even a few years old." Ge Yan had a face of disbelief. He had always thought that the unlucky Ah Wa should be at least a little over ten years old, if not, how could his family be at ease while he was sent to the Magic Beast Forest.


    "You''re thinking too much."


    "Alright, but are adult Holy Beast really that powerful? Are my contracted Shadow Winged Tiger also that powerful?" Ge Yan asked excitedly.


    "You''re thinking too much."


    "..." What do you mean, not good? However, all of them are Holy Beast s, so I admit that its size is relatively small, but its power shouldn''t be limited to its head, right? " Ge Yan was a little unconvinced. He subconsciously ignored the scene where his Holy Beast was being chased all over the place in Tasha Forest. Son of Fate''s Holy Beast were definitely very strong.


    Rex shot him a glance, "Your Contract Magic Beast is still young."


    Ge Yan, "..."


    In that moment, he suddenly hated himself, who was reading Rex''s eyes for the first time for the first time.


    A violent explosion shook him out of his stupor.


    It turned out that Daniel and Regiment Commander Locke were fighting again. This time, neither side planned to hold back. The wide streets were so affected that there were almost no longer any places to go.


    The soldiers of the city guards had long heard the noise and rushed over, but when the leading man saw that the two sides were fighting with two [A] class Mercenary Regiment, Black Wolf and Alice, they did not know what to do, their strengths were not as strong as their families, if they rushed over, they would only be implicated, but it was not good for them to just watch, the fights between the strong people were not light at all, the shops on both sides of the road had collapsed, and some of them did not have any plans to stop, the guards also started to panic.


    "Hurry and pass the City Lord." The captain said to a soldier behind him.


    The soldier took the order and ran back.


    Right at this moment, a cry suddenly came from somewhere. Everyone turned their heads, only to see that a young man from the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment camp had been carried into the air by the shoulder of a Magic Beast.

 C32

    At this moment, Ge Yan only had the mood of a blind dog. He had clearly been hiding in the corner and watching everything, and even before he finished his words, both of his feet flew off in the next second. Rex''s face slightly changed as he immediately appeared in front of him, but unfortunately, it was getting further and further away.


    "All of you, stop." Daniel''s voice was not loud, but it happened to reach everyone''s ears.


    Everyone, including those who were spectating, looked towards Daniel. The first thing that those with Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment saw was Ge Yan, who had fallen into his hands, and all of their expressions were a little subtle.


    The members of Alice''s Mercenary Regiment all retreated back to Daniel''s side. Their bodies were more or less stained with fresh blood, but most of their blood were people from the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment. In terms of strength, Black Wolf was indeed not as good as.


    "Daniel, what are you doing?" When Ma Wen saw that Ge Yan had landed in his hands, he could not help but frown, as he was unable to fathom his motives.


    "Nothing, I just want to invite this little brother to Alice as a guest. Once you''ve thought it through, come ask me for more people. Otherwise, I won''t guarantee that this little brother will be complete by then." Daniel had a smiling expression, but his words were a threat.


    Even the intelligent Ma Wen could not react in time, and did not immediately respond.


    Regiment Commander Locke did not care who was in his hands, and coldly spoke: "Daniel, is your Alice so despicable and shameless?"


    "If this is called despicable and shameless in the eyes of the Regiment Commander Locke, then so be it. I am a reasonable person, as long as you give me a satisfactory answer, I will let him go."


    Someone from the Alice was being reasonable? This was the same principle as becoming a Sword God overnight.


    "And if not?" Regiment Commander Locke looked at him provocatively.


    Daniel smiled slightly and suddenly struck the Black Wolf Mercenary who was closest to him. With a loud bang, the other party''s body exploded like a flower of blood, and the nearby area became a rain of blood, causing the surrounding spectators to scream in pain. The rumor of the Madman being abnormal spread like wildfire, and in the midst of the blood, he laughed like a sun, "If not, then this is the result.


    The people from Alice came and left as quickly as they could.


    "Captain, are we going to chase him?" Ma Wen walked over to Regiment Commander Locke''s side.


    Regiment Commander Locke had wanted to say that there was no need for it, but he changed his words: "Daniel has contracted a Holy Beast, we are not his match. We will discuss this further and find a place to settle the injured."


    "Yes, Captain."


    But there were only a few injured people, because the rest were all dead, and the fame of Alice was not just for show, other than being crazy, they were also vicious and never showed mercy to their enemies. If not for this sudden turn of events, Black Wolf would definitely not have just killed a few members, and the Regiment Commander Locke himself would probably have had to pay a heavy price.


    Rex stood in place, looking at the direction where Ge Yan was taken in, for a long time, he did not move. Ma Wen who was walking ahead suddenly turned his head, and saw that he did not follow him.


    "Rex, are you worried about Jimmy?"


    Rex did not answer, his expressionless face looked a little stubborn, but of course, it was fake.


    Ma Wen thought that he had guessed right, and explained with a sigh: "You saw it too, we are not Daniel''s match right now, but you can rest assured that the Guild Leader will definitely not abandon any of our members. You should have heard Daniel''s last words, he will definitely come back to find us, and I and the Guild Leader will think of a way to save Jimmy."


    "I know." Rex said coldly and turned to follow the team.


    He had thought that they had colluded together to hide a secret that no one else knew, but it would be beneficial if he wanted to string them together into a rope. However, he had no choice but to overturn this conjecture now, because if something were to happen to Jimmy, the person who would want to see this result the most should be Rex. However, his reaction was different, as if he was worried about Jimmy.


    Ge Yan, who had become a hostage for no reason, had yet to recover from the shock even now. No matter how hard he tried, he could not understand how he ended up in the hands of the people from Alice, and how they aimed their attacks at him, who should have been hiding in the corner without any feeling of existence at all.


    "Let''s go in." His captor gave him a rude shove.


    Ge Yan almost fell down to the ground and bit into the mud, his shoulder hurt a little, as if he had internal injuries. He thought that he would be locked up, and when he turned his head, he saw the other party fumbling for a thick rope to tie him up, he quickly said: "This big brother, there are so many of you, and each of you are so powerful, I definitely cannot escape, there''s no need to tie him up anymore, right?"


    The mercenary glanced at him from head to toe, as if he was measuring his strength. Ge Yan immediately shrugged, and after two seconds, the mercenary nodded his head: "Look at your shoulder, a weak chicken that can''t be lifted, that''s true."


    Ge Yan grinded his teeth. You are the weak one, I just haven''t started learning, otherwise I would have scared you to death.


    Ge Yan was not very happy that the other party was no longer tying him up, because he realised that he could not escape. This place did not look like an inn, but more like a house.


    He did not know how Rex was faring, and if he would come to save him, maybe he would be happy to lose him, but as for Regiment Commander Locke, he did not hope that he could be worth more than Black Wolf, an ordinary mercenary. How could Regiment Commander Locke risk his life to save him, when the time came, he would have brought his subordinates back to the capital.


    Ge Yan sorrowfully discovered that it was with great difficulty that he was able to avoid being bloomed twice by Rex. He did not expect that he would actually fall into the hands of someone with the same hobby. He was speechless.


    Probably because his emotions had affected the Shadow Winged Tiger, he vaguely sensed that the other party wanted to leave the space of consciousness. Ge Yan walked to the door to observe, and only released the Shadow Winged Tiger after he was sure that there was no one watching him.


    The Shadow Winged Tiger that was locked up for a long time pounced at his face, clawed at his head a few times, and his fine hair was turned into straw. Ge Yan immediately tore it off.


    "Enough, it''s not like I intentionally locked you up. If you don''t stay inside, if you are found out, they will snatch you away and force you into a contract. If you fail, they will even dissect you."


    The Shadow Winged Tiger slapped its claws on his face, scaring me.


    Ge Yan moved its claws away speechlessly. Are all Magic Beast this intelligent? In fact, I should have guessed long ago where there is such a small tiger. Oh right, I have yet to choose a name for it, it can''t be called Shadow Winged Tiger, it''s name is too long, in the future, let''s call it Dark Night King, what a mighty name, what do you think? "


    The night turned its head and looked around, ignoring him.


    "You like it too? Then that''s your decision." Ge Yan decided on its name.


    Suddenly, a series of soft footsteps came from outside. Sensing that someone might be coming, Ge Yan immediately kept Xiao Hu into his space of consciousness. Right when he finished doing that, the door opened.


    The mercenary appeared at the door again, shouting at him, "Come out."


    Ge Yan walked out and could not help but ask: "Big Brother, where are you bringing me to?" He actually wanted to ask if it was time to eat. He hadn''t eaten in the afternoon, and it was almost night.


    "Stop bullshitting, be more honest. If you dare to have any bad intentions, I''ll break your legs." The mercenary pushed him impatiently.


    Ge Yan cursed silently, if he truly had any idea, he would definitely let you know, judging from the other party''s attitude, he had probably guessed that this was not a good thing, he had wanted to wait a bit, thinking that if someone came to save him, maybe the other party would see through his intentions, or have a good temper. After being pushed around by him with all his might, Ge Yan finally gave up.


    When they arrived at their destination, Ge Yan was standing at the door and was not in a good mood before he was pushed inside. There were not many people, and sitting in the middle of the room was the handsome man called Daniel.


    "What''s your name?" seemed to have seen through his nervousness, taking the initiative to ask, a smile on his face could make people let their guard down, but Ge Yan had seen his true face, not only did he not relax, he was even more vigilant.


    "My name is Jimmy." Ge Yan thought that if he told him now that he had caught the wrong person, he wondered if the other party would kill him out of embarrassment.


    Daniel asked the others, "Have you heard of such a person in the Black Wolf?"


    The subordinates looked at each other, then shook their heads.


    Daniel frowned and looked at Ge Yan: "Do you think your Guild Leader will come and save you?"


    Ge Yan hesitated, but still shook his head.


    "Aren''t you a member of the Black Wolf?"


    Ge Yan nodded, that should be the case.


    "Since that''s the case, why won''t he save you?"


    Ge Yan could not help but ask: "Can I ask why you want to capture me?"


    The person beside him said confidently, "At that time, you were being protected by someone, so you could tell with a glance that your position is extraordinary. If I didn''t capture you, who else would I capture?"


    Ge Yan''s tears almost fell. He might as well not know the truth.


    Seeing his expression, everyone guessed that they had probably really misunderstood, and the first one who confirmed the truth was Daniel. He thought about Regiment Commander Locke and Ma Wen''s reaction and performance at the time, and if they were really nervous, this person would more or less show a little bit of worry, but they did not, so he was mistaken. With his personality, he should have been angry at them, but this time, he did not have any signs of anger.

 C33

    "Since you no longer have any use, give me a reason to let you go." The smile on Daniel''s face turned into a demon. Behind him, there seemed to be a pair of black wings, giving off a notorious aura.


    Long ago on the main street, Daniel had already been labeled as being as cruel as Rex. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Isn''t the person who has enmity with you the Regiment Commander Locke?"


    "Wrong, it''s Black Wolf. You said yourself that you are a member of Black Wolf." Although the most responsible person was Regiment Commander Locke, how could a Regiment Commander Locke dispel the hatred in Daniel''s heart? The one who died was his most beloved son, the adorable Alva. He was only thirteen years old, at the age where he was the most carefree, most beautiful and most lively.


    Ge Yan should have been glad that Daniel was the one to bring them here. If it was Tangles or Daniel''s wife, with their violent temper, they would not have the patience to talk to him like this.


    "No, no, no. Actually, I''m not really a member of the Black Wolf, I just happened to be following Carlos out for training. If I were to return to the capital this time, I definitely wouldn''t be together with the people from Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment." Hearing that, Ge Yan immediately cut all relations between them.


    "Carlos is the person Locke is looking for?"


    Ge Yan was startled, the man''s focus was a little crooked, but the key point was actually a good hand, "It''s him, there are two other people."


    "They''re dead?" Daniel suddenly squinted his eyes.


    Since the news about Ala had already reached Alice''s Mercenary Regiment''s ears, there was no reason for him not to know that Regiment Commander Locke was looking for Carlos and the other two. Ge Yan did not know why he suddenly started to pay attention to this matter.


    Captain, this Carlos is the young master of the Zerich family, his position within the family is not small. If he dies, the Zerg family will definitely be furious, he is under the protection of the black wolf. His subordinate seemed to have heard of Carlos before, when his eyes suddenly lit up. Needless to say, his brain was working really fast, and he immediately thought of the key point.


    "You''re right, but that''s not enough." Daniel''s voice suddenly became gloomy, and his expression became somewhat terrifying.


    Ge Yan was immediately excited when he heard this. In a sense, they could also be considered to be on the same boat, so perhaps he could make use of this opportunity.


    "This little brother seems to have some ideas, why not tell it to me?"


    Daniel''s interesting voice suddenly pulled Ge Yan back from his thoughts, he raised his head and saw a group of people staring at him, causing him to feel pressured, he thought for a bit and said: "It''s not much, you must know of the rumors regarding the Holy Beast, Regiment Commander Locke originally wanted to capture this Holy Beast to win in, but the mission failed."


    "So?"


    Ge Yan saw that they were not moved, and said: "Someone told me, if Regiment Commander Locke were to return to the imperial city like this, he would not end up well. If you want to take revenge, you can make a move in this regard."


    "Go on." Daniel put on an attitude of listening attentively.


    What the heck, has he finished yet? Ge Yan secretly cursed in his heart, but he absolutely could not say these words. If this master was displeased, what would he do if he killed him without even saying a word?


    "The reason why Regiment Commander Locke wanted to catch the Holy Beast was simply because he felt that Carlos and the other two were already dead, so he did not try his best to find them, but wanted to capture them instead. We can release the news and blame their deaths on the Regiment Commander Locke for their negligence."


    "Looks like you really aren''t a member of the Black Wolf. If that crude Locke heard this, he would definitely want to kill you." Daniel smiled as he looked at Ge Yan, feeling that he was extremely interesting.


    "I''m not." Ge Yan laughed awkwardly, it was all because of you.


    "To be honest, it can''t be that you have a grudge against him, right?" Daniel asked with interest.


    Ge Yan rolled his eyes and lowered his eyelashes: "There''s not much hatred between us, but it''s true that I don''t like Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment. I''m different from Carlos, I''m not a noble, in the eyes of those people, I''m just Carlos''s followers ¡­" The unspoken word gives one infinite reverie.


    Everyone instantly revealed expressions of no wonder, real people immediately revealing their disdain towards Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment. In their Alice, this kind of thing couldn''t possibly happen, as long as you put in effort, you could still get respect from others even if you weren''t so strong.


    Daniel stared at Ge Yan''s face, and suddenly spoke in a shocking tone: "Your eyelashes are actually black."


    Everyone: "..."


    Ge Yan''s heart jumped, oh my god, could it be that he was discovered?


    His subordinate obviously did not expect Daniel to be so unreasonable, and after a period of silence, he subconsciously looked into Ge Yan''s eyes. He was instantly surprised, and one of them shouted: "It''s really black, this is the first time I''ve seen this kind of phenomenon, it''s too strange."


    The others also joined in. They were all distracted by their leader.


    Ge Yan thought, if he had known this would happen, he wouldn''t have lowered his eyelashes. How often would he droop so much, and what would he do if his psychological shadow drooped? The next time he saw Rex, he would definitely ask her to take him to dye his eyelashes.


    Fortunately, Daniel only said that and did not have any other thoughts, so the others had even less of a chance to think about it.


    Ge Yan was brought back down the stairs again, since he wouldn''t believe his words, but this time the treatment was much better than an empty room, so they arranged a single person''s room for him.


    With a bed and a blanket, there was no need to sleep on the floor. His small life should have been saved, thus on the first night of being kidnapped, Ge Yan slept soundly, to the point that when someone found him, his face was dark.


    Ge Yan, who should have been woken up in a gentle manner, fell off the bed with a thump. The pain caused him to immediately open his eyes, before he could even cry out in pain, he was startled by the black shadow standing beside the bed. Still robbing money, but he had no money. Could it be that he was robbing sex?


    Rex''s brow creased because of the rich expression on his face, "It looks like you want to stay here forever."


    Hearing this familiar voice, Ge Yan''s eyes immediately filled with tears. "Nonsense, I don''t want to stay here at all." Then he realized he could speak.


    "How did you find this place?" Ge Yan asked again.


    Rex did not reply. He swept his gaze across the room, "Is this how Alice treats captives?"


    Ge Yan did not argue, he had long gotten used to this kind of Rex, and said in a slightly pleased tone, "Of course it''s impossible, don''t you see who I am, with my perfect tongue ¡­"


    "What did you say?" Rex interrupted him and stared at him sternly. In the darkness, his eyes were sharp.


    Ge Yan was so happy that he did not notice it, and told him the conversation they had during the day, "They seem to be skeptical of my words, and I do not want to stay any longer. Since you have come, shall we leave now?"


    "No." He would not hand over his fate to someone else, but to someone who posed a threat to him, he would think of a way to kill them. He only had eighty percent confidence in being able to deal with Carlos, and the remaining twenty percent of the chance was with Locke and Ma Wen.


    "Not what?" Ge Yan asked.


    Rex''s gaze fell on Ge Yan''s curious face, "You can''t leave now, I have another plan that requires you as a chess piece."


    "¡­" Ge Yan, is it really okay to say so openly that others are pawns?


    Rex told Ge Yan of his plan. The two of them had plotted for an hour, but he had only gone back and forth. Ge Yan waved at his back, wanting to say something that would take me away.

 C34

    The next day was bright and fresh.


    Ge Yan slept until the afternoon before he was woken up. To be more precise, the other party could not bear to see him not having the awareness of being a hostage, and slept like a dead pig on the first night. Normally, people would not be able to sleep due to the restlessness, but it was also because of this calmness that the other party looked up to him a little more.


    "Bro, our boss said that since you did quite well yesterday, you can walk around this house today. But don''t think about escaping. If you are found out, your little life will be ruined."


    Ge Yan nodded his head furiously as he ate, but he didn''t even stop when he was given the gold.


    Seeing him act so obediently, the mercenary had a good impression of him, "If you don''t have enough food, you can go to the kitchen and ask for more. In the kitchen, you can go straight out and take a left turn."


    "Thank you, big brother. I remember." Ge Yan wiped the oil from his mouth.


    "Just call me Ted." The more the mercenary saw, the more he liked the bold actions. In his opinion, men should be like this. He thought that this person really was not a noble''s son, because there were always many different rules for noble sons, just like a woman.


    "Ted, you can call me Jimmy too." Ge Yan smiled, a light flickering in his eyes, as though he was looking at his prey.


    Just then, a mercenary stuck his head in and impatiently said, "Ted, when did you become so long-winded? Don''t forget that he is still Black Wolf''s man."


    "Got it, I''ll be right out." Ted obviously did not take his words to heart.


    Ge Yan did not care about the other party''s attitude at all, since he was not prepared to calculate the Alice, there was no need for him to feel guilty, so in the next two days, he began to silently seek out Ted''s good impression. If the affability level was 100, then he would at least bring Ted''s affability level up to 40, and even though it did not exceed half, it would already be very difficult to change someone who wanted to kill him to this step.


    After getting along with Ted for the past two days, he had eaten three meals with him. However, he did not see anyone else today.


    Ge Yan thought back to what Rex had warned him again. After that night, he came to find him again and even brought him some news. It was now the right time for this.


    "They went out to find out." Ted didn''t know what he was thinking.


    "Ask for information? It couldn''t be related to Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, could it be that you have found a way to deal with Regiment Commander Locke? "


    Ted mumbled, "Pretty much."


    "What do you mean ''similar''? "Yes, yes, no."


    Ted suddenly looked at him, and asked suspiciously: "Why are you suddenly so concerned about this matter?"


    Ge Yan said calmly, "Isn''t it normal for people to be concerned about me? How could that be? Forget about me not knowing where they are, I don''t even have any good feelings towards the Black Wolf. To be able to see their bad luck, it''s already too late for me to be happy. "


    "That''s true." After he had observed them for the past few days, Ge Yan''s actions were indeed normal. Seeing that he usually ate and slept soundly, and ate soundly, those who did not know the reason would think that he was a member of the Alice. Thus, they could just relax and tell him what they had done in the past two days.


    The words Ge Yan said that day had indeed inspired them, so it had become very effective after Daniel sent them out to spread the news. According to reliable sources, the Regiment Commander Locke would no longer dare to return to the imperial city, but the news would not stop there.


    "So you''re saying that Regiment Commander Locke should be desperately trying to find a way to prevent the Treacherous Family from punishing him?" Ge Yan''s eyes lit up slightly.


    Ted nodded, "That''s right."


    Ge Yan suddenly clapped his hands, "If you say it like that, then I remember something. I remember one time when I overheard the conversation between Regiment Commander Locke and Captain Ma Wen, it seemed to be related to this matter."


    "What is it?" Ted asked quickly.


    Ge Yan pretended to work hard to recall, "I remember hearing Captain Ma Wen faintly saying that the Dragon Fruit might be able to help them solve this problem, but I wasn''t sure about the specifics, so I couldn''t hear the words that came after."


    "Are you sure it''s the Dragon Fruit?" Ted suddenly stood up, his expression was both surprised and happy.


    "I''m sure."


    "Why didn''t you say so earlier?" Ted suddenly became anxious.


    "That''s something I have to remember." Since Rex didn''t come to find him, he would never be able to ''think'' about it.


    Ted was no longer able to care about him and quickly ran out. Ge Yan still wanted to ask him what exactly the Dragon Fruit was before he disappeared, forget it, his mission was already completed, so he calmly swept the food on the table. When Ted came back, he saw his satisfied expression and was instantly speechless.


    "You still have the mood to eat? Come with me quickly, our captain wants to see you." Ted pulled him up and walked out.


    "Slow down, I''m a bit full." Ge Yan burped.


    The two of them quickly arrived in front of Daniel.


    Daniel did not change at all, his appearance was still as handsome and dazzling as before, but his gaze was much sharper than two days ago. He had never averted his gaze from Ge Yan''s entrance, and he said with a hint of urgency, "Are you sure you heard about the Dragon Fruit from their mouths?"


    Just as Ge Yan was about to nod his head, the other party''s sinister voice sounded out again.


    "You better not lie to me, or else you''ll see the same scene from that day. That''s what happened to them."


    "How could I lie to you? I don''t even know what a Dragon Fruit is." Ge Yan said helplessly.


    "You don''t know?" Taylor shouted exaggeratedly, as if he was looking at a fool.


    "Is it strange?" Ge Yan grinded his teeth.


    Taylor did not notice that he was grinding his teeth in anger at all, and nodded his head sincerely: "Yes, it''s very strange, the Dragon Fruit is a good thing, it''s a fruit that contains a great amount of magic, this magic power can make the person who eats it instantly increase the strength by one to three levels, the different levels of increase the strength, I am a Advanced Swordsman of the fourth step, if it was given to me, I can directly break through to the seventh step."


    "That powerful?"


    "Of course."


    Ge Yan thought of a question, "But if it''s just a matter of increasing his strength, why would the Regiment Commander Locke view the Dragon Fruit as a life-saving medicine?


    "That''s because he''s a ninth step swordsman." "The Dragon Fruit is one of the only fruits that can be used by the Great Swordsman and Sword Masters at the same time. Especially the Swordsman who is stuck at the breakthrough point, the Dragon Fruit can guarantee that they will have an eighty percent chance of success."


    As long as one was not too unlucky, there was an 80% chance that they would be able to succeed, so as long as they could obtain the Dragon Fruit, it was equivalent to having the key to success.


    Even though Level 9 Sword Masters were also very powerful, they were not very rare, unless it was from the Great Swordmaster s. For big nobles like Streak, they did not recruit many Great Swordmaster s, which was why they were considered precious because there were not many experts, thus the Great Swordmaster who were recruited would receive a lot of treatment. This was Locke''s last straw of hope, only by finding the Dragon Fruit s and raising his strength to the Great Swordmaster could he avoid the punishment that would ruin his future.


    Speaking till here, Ge Yan finally understood that Rex was planning to use Dragon Fruit to fish for Regiment Commander Locke''s prawn. "But since Dragon Fruit is such a rare item, how is it possible that they would appear when he needs it?"


    "Since he could think of this method, then he must have heard about the Dragon Fruit from somewhere. The presence of the Dragon Fruit is of great importance, they can''t hide it. I''ll send someone to check it out first."


    "Can I find this thing just by checking it out?" Ge Yan felt that this was quite unbelievable.


    "Dragon Fruit can''t grow everywhere." Daniel smiled faintly, because of the important news that Ge Yan had brought, he had become more patient with him.


    The name Dragon Fruit could very easily be associated with dragon saliva. In fact, it wasn''t dragon saliva, but it wasn''t too different from a dragon''s saliva either, because only places where dragons existed could produce Dragon Fruit. Thus, one could basically determine the location of the Dragon Fruit, and that was Magic Beast Forest.


    Magic Beast Forest here wasn''t referring to Tasha Forest, at most, it could only be considered a small forest derived from Magic Beast Forest, and its degree of danger was not more than one percent of Magic Beast Forest.


    Therefore, without the strength of a Advanced Swordsman or above, one could forget about going to the Magic Beast Forest, because even if one were to linger around the edges of the Magic Beast Forest, they could still be torn into pieces.

 C35

    Ge Yan finally understood how alluring the Dragon Fruit''s power was. According to Ted''s words, there were other fruits in the process of breaking through the ninth stage, such as the Dragon Strength Fruit.


    Not only was there no side effect, the success rate was also 100%. But the Dragon Strength Fruit was only 1% of a Dragon Fruit''s rarity, and no one had ever found it in any of the places in the past few years, so everyone was so excited when they heard about the Dragon Fruit.


    Even though Daniel was only a Level 4 Sword Master now, after obtaining the Dragon Fruit, he could use some methods to store them away. At that time, it would also be possible to use them again.


    "Captain, should we spread the news?"


    When Ted thought of this question, the moment he finished speaking, he was glared at by Daniel.


    "Spread it out for others to come and steal from us? It''s only just Locke, last time he didn''t use his real identity, this time he won''t let them off so easily, I''m taking the Dragon Fruit for sure. " Daniel''s facial features suddenly became sharp, and his body started to emit an imposing aura that was determined to win.


    Ge Yan''s eyes flashed. Only he knew, that Daniel''s wish was destined to not come true, but when he sent his people to investigate about the specific details, the news of the Dragon Fruit''s appearance spread like wildfire, and in less than a day, it had become known to everyone, and in the end, everyone was discussing about it. When Daniel''s subordinates heard about it, they hurriedly ran back, and upon hearing that the news was spread, Daniel did not become as furious as everyone had expected, but instead had an attitude of anticipation.


    "Captain, aren''t you angry?" Ted was the first to be pushed out, and came in front of him and asked.


    Daniel waved his hand, "There''s nothing to be angry about, the Dragon Fruit is such a big thing, I can''t hide it even if I wanted to.


    It''s been notified already, there''s also concrete information on the Dragon Fruit, and it''s definitely within the Magic Beast Forest. As for the specific maturation time, we still have to verify it, but we heard that the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment has departed, and there''s still the crow Mercenary Regiment, their speed is not slow. "Yes," another replied.


    Daniel walked back and forth in his original position, then turned around and made a decision, "We can''t wait any longer, notify them immediately, and set off in half an hour, we have to hurry to our destination before the Dragon Fruit matures."


    "Yes, sir."


    Ge Yan thought that they would not bring him along as a burden, but the moment he walked out of the door, he was brutally dragged away by Ted. When he found out that he was also going to Magic Beast Forest, he was stupefied.


    "If you don''t go, you''re going to stay here?" Ted retorted quickly, not giving her the tone to refuse.


    Ge Yan did not directly answer him, and said: "My strength is so low, and I''m not too familiar with Magic Beast Forest either.


    "Not necessarily." Ted smiled mysteriously.


    Ge Yan asked, but he kept quiet, so he hated people who kept half of their words.


    In order to gain more time, they would travel nonstop during the day and night. Sometimes, they would only stop to rest for an hour or two, but they were completely unable to sleep soundly, because Ted and the others were already used to this kind of travelling intensity, but it was the first time that Ge Yan experienced this kind of pain. Within a few days, his face became as haggard as a national treasure, and after being mocked like a weak chicken by Ted, Ge Yan was too lazy to argue with him.


    Although it was tiring, the advantage was that the original distance of seven to eight days had been shortened to four days. And this was under the condition that they had to take a shortcut. If they were to take the official road, it would take at least half a month.


    The evening sun hung on the treetops, drawing the shadows of the group even more slender than bamboo poles. In front of them was an endless expanse of Magic Beast Forest, looking from afar, it looked like an opening black hole, as if it would be engulfed if it got any closer. The sun was overhead, but it did not feel that hot.


    The first destination for the group was Sag City, which was not far from the Magic Beast Forest. Sago City was a fortress facing the Magic Beast Forest, and the huge city gates and walls had mottled marks left behind, left behind from the attacks of the Magic Beast tide every year. From these marks, one could see how tragic the year was, and because of that, the city guards were extremely strict with the outsiders who entered Sag City.


    Daniel''s group all carried with them the killing intent unique to strong mercenaries. The city guards asked about them according to convention, and after knowing that they were Alice''s Mercenary Regiment, they immediately became extremely respectful.


    Ge Yan thought that if he came here alone, he would probably be questioned by the others as if he was a traitor.


    After entering the city, they turned several corners and arrived at a house. Upon entering the house, they saw two mercenaries guarding outside. When they saw them arrive, the two mercenaries revealed expressions of joy.


    "Captain, you''ve finally arrived. Madam is already waiting for you inside."


    Daniel nodded, "Thank you."


    At this time, a person suddenly walked out quickly from inside, so fast that even when standing in front of them, there was a gust of wind blowing towards them, it was the lady they were talking about, her beautiful face was no longer young or tender, but not old at all. Her wavy hair was stuck to her waist, golden light shone on her back, her enchanting figure revealed the charm of a mature woman, her tight red dress seemed very neat and clean, and when she did not speak, she had a strong woman''s scent, and when she opened her mouth, she immediately gave off a fiery and violent aura, as if she knew that this person was not to be provoked.


    "Is that Locke dead yet?"


    "Heidi, let''s talk inside." Daniel''s gaze fell upon her beautiful face, her expression becoming extremely gentle, the way she spoke carried a tone of doting affection, one could tell with a single glance that she loved her wife very much.


    Heidi expressionlessly replied as she turned around and walked back.


    Ge Yan stood at the very back, and was just thinking if he should enter or not, when Ted signalled for him to follow him.


    "Who is he?"


    Ge Yan raised his head and saw Daniel''s wife Heidi looking at him, and frowned.


    Daniel explained in a concise manner. Just as she was about to explode, he explained that was the one who told them the news regarding the Dragon Fruit.


    Ge Yan''s sharp senses could feel that the obvious sense of direction had disappeared, and his heart relaxed. After all, being stared at by a beauty would cause him to feel pressured.


    So the reason why Heidi didn''t go with Daniel was because she had led people to find trouble with the Black Crow. Furthermore, they had a huge fight with the Black Crow, and Heidi''s temper wasn''t as gentle as Daniel''s, so after confirming the identity of the Black Crow, she killed a few members of the Crow Mercenary Regiment without saying anything. Furthermore, a party leader who was relatively stronger had also died in her hands.


    The Black Crow was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Even so, he did not dare kill Heidi because he knew that if he was not careful, he would attract the revenge of the entire Alice''s Mercenary Regiment. Crow Mercenary Regiment could not bear it.


    After Ge Yan finished listening, he only had one thought. Luckily, the person who kidnapped him was Daniel.


    Locke had arrived in Zag City a day earlier than them and they had already departed this morning. The reason why Heidi stayed behind was to wait for Daniel and at the same time, bring news of the Dragon Fruit.


    Heidi had already determined that the Dragon Fruit was in a place called Thorny Valley, and the maturity of the Dragon Fruit would probably only be half a month later, but because no one knew how the news spread, there were currently many adventurers and mercenaries rushing over every day.


    When Daniel heard that there was only half a month left, he originally wanted to let his subordinates rest for two days, and immediately decided to set off tomorrow morning. Heidi had been waiting impatiently, but taking into account that they had travelled continuously during this period of time, he agreed to it.


    "Where do I sleep?" Ge Yan asked Ted who was beside him the moment he stepped out of the door.


    Ted found an empty room for him.


    Ge Yan didn''t seem to notice that the two people who were standing nearby seemed to be chatting, but were actually monitoring him. After closing the door, he directly went to bed, and slept all the way until the morning of the next day.


    Before the sky brightened, he was already woken up by Ted. So it turned out that Daniel and the others were already preparing to leave, they had woken up early and had already eaten their breakfast, only Ge Yan had not had time to eat. Fortunately Ted had left him a portion, they could only eat on the road.


    The morning in Zag City was even more lively than the night, and many children had already woken up. One of the children who was playing on the street suddenly ran into Ge Yan who was chewing on a piece of bread, and almost knocked him out of the bread he had just swallowed. Just as Ge Yan was about to say a few words, his expression suddenly changed, and he gave the child a big smile.


    "Little friend, next time when you go out, remember to keep your eyes open as well, do you understand?"


    "Got it, Uncle." The child showed an innocent smile and ran off with his friends.


    No one noticed that Ge Yan''s right hand was tightly holding a ball of paper, and the kind of secret that only he could know, caused his heart to tremble slightly. Rex finally came to look for him, and he waited a long time for this moment, he was extremely excited, and after a while, he slowly turned into a person walking at the back. Only when no one noticed him did he secretly open the ball of paper, and only four words were written on it.


    "Follow them."


    Ted realized that Ge Yan had not followed him, and turned his head around to see him looking like he wanted to eat someone. He crazily tore off a piece of paper, then threw it onto the ground and stomped on it with all his might, while muttering the words "I''ll stomp you to death" in his mouth.


    "Brother Jimmy, are you alright?" Ted hesitated for a while before walking over, but he did not dare get close, and looked at him from two to three meters away.


    After Ge Yan finished venting, she looked at him with a ''Brother, are you crazy?'' expression. After being silent for a while, he shook his head and walked past him coldly: "Don''t worry, let''s go."

    The greatest danger to the Magic Beast Forest came from the group of Magic Beast s that lived in groups. They might not have much strength, but their numbers held the absolute advantage, so if they were to accidentally barge into their territory or lair, if they were not able to rush out in time, they could fall at any time.


    Since the day they entered the Magic Beast Forest, they had encountered over a dozen waves of attacks from Magic Beast s. Sometimes, they could not dodge and could only fight, this thing could almost be killed or not be killed, it was especially troublesome, in the end, powerful beings like Daniel and Heidi became impatient. But after all, they were experienced and could slowly avoid it in advance.


    Ge Yan did not need to put in effort to follow them, it was not because he was weak, rather, he was not a member of Alice after all. Other people, even if they were on good terms with him, Ted would not hand him their backs, so other than travelling quickly, he did not need to do anything else, in order to avoid being found out.


    They were probably close to their destination Thorny Valley, where they met more and more adventurers and mercenaries, and where most of them were talking about Dragon Fruit s.


    During this period of time, they encountered three adventurers who were being besieged by a group of saber-deer. The saber-deer was a level 5 Magic Beast, and could be considered the bloodiest and most brutal amongst the deer Magic Beast, its level was not high, but the saber-deer were social Magic Beast. If they met, as long as their speed was fast enough, they could basically escape.


    Daniel had saved them.


    Of course, it was not because of his sudden act of kindness. The three adventurers were roughly aware of this. Not only were they grateful, they even told them all the news that they knew.


    For example, the giant dragon that protected the Dragon Fruit was a Scarlet Shelled Earthworm with a bad temper and was a sub-dragon. It was extremely powerful and was considered a top existence among Holy Beast.


    Other than that, they had also heard from the three that Black Wolf and Crow had gone to the Thorny Valley. It was said that the Dragon Fruit would mature in the next few days, and the three of them had initially wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of it, but the two Mercenary Regiment s, Black Wolf and Crow, actually wanted to seal off the Thorny Valley.


    Heidi laughed coldly, "There is a path to heaven that does not lead, there is no door to hell that wants to enter. This time, I will take care of them all and avenge Alva."


    Hearing this, the three adventurers'' necks shrank.


    Daniel let them go, and the three immediately ran away as if they were fleeing for their lives. The matter of Alva had been the talk of the town lately, and had already spread to Sag City.


    They set off again, their speed increasing. They finally arrived at the Thorny Valley before sunset, and in front of them appeared a red bonfire, where a large number of adventurers were stationed.


    Because the Dragon Fruit had not matured yet, the adventurers did not dare to rashly enter the Thorny Valley. If they angered the huge dragon in the valley, not to mention picking the Dragon Fruit, they might not even be able to survive. The sun was about to set and they could not walk in the Magic Beast Forest at night, so they found a relatively large and easy place to guard.


    When Daniel and his group just got close, they were already discovered by the people in the camp.


    "Who is it, the newspaper ¡­" Before he could even finish, the other party had already stopped talking and looked at Daniel and Heidi in shock. His attitude was so haughty just a moment ago, but now, his legs were weak and he almost sat down on the ground.


    "It''s someone from the Alice''s Mercenary Regiment. I''ll go tell the Guild Leader." The other person left him and ran off. Although he said that he was informing the Guild Leader, he was actually scared away. Who didn''t know that Alice''s Mercenary Regiment wouldn''t stop until one side died?


    These two people who looked down on others with arrogance were people from Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment. Because they had aristocratic backgrounds, the members of Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment would always act extremely arrogantly in front of outsiders.


    Heidi sneered, her gaze filled with killing intent landing on the man who did not have the time to run.


    The man was scared to the point of peeing, and the smell of urine wafted in the air.


    Heidi kicked him away with a darkened face, and the group walked in the direction of the two Mercenary Regiment camp of Black Wolf and Crow, their intention to look for trouble was placed on the surface. Before they even got close, the people nearby could already feel the atmosphere of the Black Wolf and Crow as though they were facing a great enemy, and those who did not know what was going on felt that it was strange.


    "Why do the two Mercenary Regiment Black Wolf and Crow seem to be afraid of Alice''s Mercenary Regiment?"


    I heard that a while ago, Black Wolf and the crow had caused the death of''s grandson, because of a fight over a young Holy Beast. The two people leading the group were Tangles''s son, Daniel, and his daughter-in-law Heidi.


    "Such a big thing actually happened, and now that we''re caught by the Alice again, I think there''s going to be a good show."


    "Do you think they''ll fight?"


    It''s hard to say. Black Wolf and Crow must be working together now, and Alice is a little difficult to deal with them, not to mention that the Dragon Fruit will ripen very soon.


    Ge Yan happened to pass by the two of them, and upon hearing what they said, he looked over in surprise. The man also happened to look over, and thought that Yun Che was also from Alice''s Mercenary Regiment, and immediately shut his mouth, this man was truly talented, such an important matter, wouldn''t he know it?


    Black Wolf and Crow''s campsite were very eye-catching, both sides were relatively close, probably just to guard against this. The two captains already knew about the arrival of Alice''s Mercenary Regiment, and the atmosphere was even more tense than everyone had imagined.


    "Heidi!" Although he was stronger than her, but she had a Contract Magic Beast. It was because of this Magic Beast, that she was able to kill so many of his subordinates, and even lose the life of a party leader in her hands, the blow could not be considered small.


    "We meet again, Black Crow." Killing intent surged on Heidi''s face, the anger and hatred in her heart was not less than Black Crow''s. If it wasn''t for Daniel pulling her back, she would have already rushed forward to fight him.


    A malicious smile appeared on his face: "You have killed so many of my subordinates, yet I have not settled the score with you. Instead, you have delivered yourself to me, and waited for me to obtain the Dragon Fruit, then I will at least properly settle this debt with you."


    "Pfft, someone as ugly as you still wants to get your hands on the Dragon Fruit. I won''t wait for that time to kill you first." Heidi''s domineering and explosive words made many people stare.


    Everyone subconsciously looked at Black Crow''s face. Honestly speaking, he wasn''t ugly, but he was a bit handsome. But compared to Daniel, he was indeed weaker by more than a level.


    Black Crow''s face was gloomy, he stared at Heidi with killing intent, "Don''t think that just because you have Contract Magic Beast, you will become extraordinary, and even if you are husband and wife, I will not be afraid of you."


    The corner of Heidi''s mouth raised in ridicule, and her cold gaze shot towards Locke, "Your reason is merely because of your Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, two cowards coming together is still a coward."


    "Say that again if you dare!" Regiment Commander Locke''s face sank, and he could no longer remain silent. Originally, he had felt that it was a bit wrong, but since the Alice''s Mercenary Regiment was so overbearing, he could not endure it any longer. If Tangles was not here, if he could not even beat two of the younger generation, then how could he continue to be in the Ezra Continent in the future?


    "It''s all the same to me a few times. If you''re not cowards, why would you be afraid of us? My husband and I are weaker than you."


    Heidi''s mocking words caused the two of them to feel that they had lost all face, and they were unwilling to be outdone, so they ridiculed back. But even so, the two of them could not be as shameless as Heidi.


    Ge Yan took the opportunity to look towards the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment camp when they were arguing. Not long later, he saw Rex leaning on the tree with a calm face, he just happened to look over, and their gazes met.

 C37

    Ge Yan secretly glanced at Rex, he had long forgotten how angry he looked when he saw the slip of paper, and blinked his eyes to signal for to come and save him. Although he was not abused, he did not want to stay in the Alice at all, and his life of acting was rather tiring.


    Rex raised his eyebrows, using his gaze to indicate that he should stay calm. After pausing for a moment, he mouthed out a word, and at the same time, indicated that he should take a look at Locke and Heidi who were arguing.


    Ge Yan didn''t know if he understood or not, but he stared blankly, and did not react for a long time.


    Seeing that, Rex was not surprised, in fact he did not even hope for the idiot to understand, as expected, the expectations was not too high. Just as the thought flashed through his mind, he saw that Ge Yan had suddenly thought of something, and pulled Ted''s hand onto his arm, as if he was being controlled, he shouted at Regiment Commander Locke.


    "Captain, you finally came to save me? They also said that it was impossible for you to save me, because I was just an insignificant member of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and said that I was not Captain Ma Wen, so I knew that they were lying. As expected, you did not give up on a single member of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment. "


    The sound was so loud that almost everyone heard it.


    Some people were stunned, while some people''s faces darkened.


    "Little brother, you are too naive, how could your captain be here to save you? He came here for the Dragon Fruit, as for your life or death, he did not even put it in his eyes. In the Regiment Commander Locke''s heart, if you die, an insignificant subordinate can come look for you at any time." The first one to react was actually the fiery Heidi. She knew that Taylor was lying just by looking at their expressions, but what did it matter? Since the other party wanted to trap Locke, she was willing to help him.


    "Isn''t what she said true? "Guild Leader." Ge Yan looked at Regiment Commander Locke sorrowfully.


    Regiment Commander Locke glared fiercely at Heidi, his voice filled with righteousness: "What she said is obviously not true, any member of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment is extremely important, how can I give up on you guys?"


    Heidi laughed as if she had heard a fantasy story, "I really am not ashamed. If you really think his life is important, then why didn''t you send someone to save him after he was captured for so many days? Even though we know that Alice''s Mercenary Regiment are cruel people, do you not know that if he fell into our hands for a day, he could lose his life at any time? "


    Ge Yan was shocked, he muttered: "I do not believe that the Guild Leader is such a person."


    Locke Wilson is such a person, at the most critical moment he can even use you little pawns as a shield. Thinking about when the Tasha Forest appeared, wasn''t it because he was trying to catch that Holy Beast no matter if you guys were dead or alive, in the end, not only did he fail to catch the Holy Beast, he even caused a lot of your comrades to die. After that, he did not even offer any condolences, what''s so good about following a captain like that, I think you should just withdraw from the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment.


    "Heidi Ferguson, if you continue to speak such nonsense, this old man will not be courteous to you." Regiment Commander Locke''s face was flushed red, both of her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Heidi.


    "If Regiment Commander Locke wants to do anything to my wife, he has to get past me first." Daniel stood out, his sharp eyes staring coldly at Regiment Commander Locke, his body releasing a powerful aura.


    Heidi laughed coldly, "I''m spouting nonsense? Ask your men if I''m telling the truth. "


    Everyone subconsciously looked at the people from the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, only to see that each and every single one of them had a strange expression on their faces. Surprisingly, no one stood up to defend their Guild Leader.


    Regiment Commander Locke angrily turned his head to look at his subordinates. He was so angry that his liver was aching, but he couldn''t hide the fear in his heart. He had indeed forgotten about this matter.


    It still depended on whether or not this person was worth following, just like Alice''s Mercenary Regiment. Even though they were famous lunatics, it was precisely because the upper echelons of the Mercenary Regiment were all extremely protective people, so even if their reputation was not great, there were still people who were willing to follow them.


    "Everyone, don''t listen to this woman sow discord. You have to blame me for this matter. Actually, the Guild Leader had already instructed me. However, I forgot when I was busy. This is my responsibility." Ma Wen stood up immediately to take on the responsibility.


    Heidi laughed, "Captain Ma Wen is indeed worthy of being Regiment Commander Locke''s trusted aide. Such actions of wiping the butt of his own captain''s work are really easy to do."


    Ma Wen''s face instantly turned ugly.


    "Woman, don''t speak nonsense. How could Captain Ma Wen help the leader wipe his butt so often? Ge Yan stood out and accused Heidi, his tone full of confidence and righteousness.


    Everyone was stunned. After a moment, they could not help but smile.


    "Haha." Heidi unceremoniously laughed at him.


    Ma Wen looked like he had just eaten two kilograms of feces as he glared fiercely at Ge Yan.


    Ge Yan''s expression was innocent, as though he did not know that he said the wrong thing. When everyone''s attention shifted away, he who had completed his task made a V gesture towards Rex that no one else could see, but they had forgotten that Rex could not understand.


    Rex''s eyes revealed an extremely faint smile, he retracted the preface, this person was actually not stupid, instead, he was very intelligent.


    If Ge Yan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him that he wasn''t smart enough to show his worth to him.


    The Dragon Fruit was about to mature, so they couldn''t lose too much weight because of a small loss. Thus, Heidi and Daniel, the husband and wife, each disguised themselves as a dark face and the other as a white face, had their face damaged, causing the two Mercenary Regiment s to lose both face before they called for their troops to stop.


    At this time, the sun had already set, the Magic Beast Forest was pitch black, and the campsite''s light had become the only source of light in the night.


    Ge Yan wanted to go find Rex, but the moment he stood up, he was spotted by Ted.


    "Where are you going?"


    "To return to the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, of course." Ge Yan replied matter-of-factly.


    After Ted heard this, he did not agree, "You tricked them just now, do you think they will accept you?"


    Ge Yan said with a sincere and serious expression on his face, "How could I lie to them? What I said was all true."


    Great beauty Heidi appeared behind him. He glanced at Ge Yan meaningfully and said, "If he wants to return, he can let him go, and he will very quickly find out that the Black Wolf is no longer the Mercenary Regiment that can tolerate him. I heard that you are called Jimmy, right?


    Ge Yan was unable to tolerate him in the first place, so he silently cursed under his breath and then raised his head to put on a stubborn expression. He angrily roared at them: "Don''t even think about sowing discord, Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment is not like you guys said, our Guild Leader is so nice, to every member, he is like his own brother, I will always support Regiment Commander Locke."


    He then lifted his head, stuck out his chest, and walked towards the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment''s camp without moving under their gazes. His roar was transmitted to the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment''s camp a hundred meters away as he wished.


    Heidi leaned onto Daniel''s chest as though she had no bones, her beautiful face revealed an appreciative smile: "I like him, his personality is just too interesting."


    "Darling, I''ll be jealous if you say you like another man in front of your husband." Daniel embraced her waist and pressed her upper body into his embrace, lowering his head and kissing his alluring red lips.


    "I like the way you''re jealous." Heidi giggled and took the initiative to grab onto his neck and kiss him as if no one was around.


    Although it was just a kiss, it caused the atmosphere to become overflowing with the smell of sex and blood. Surrounded by hot-blooded men, one could faintly hear the sound of someone secretly swallowing saliva, but no one dared to steal a glance at them, because Daniel, this man who was as handsome as a gentleman, was a famous berserker who protected his wife.

 C38

    Ge Yan arrogantly returned to the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and the stomachs of some people which they had prepared were instantly useless. Even the "victim", Ma Wen, couldn''t really say anything, and could only fake a smile as he welcomed him back. Looking at his expression, one could just barely imagine the grievance in his heart, but there were a few people who were not as repulsed by Ge Yan because of this matter as in the past.


    "Don''t those people from Alice''s Mercenary Regiment hate our Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment? Why would they let you return so easily?" A slightly high-pitched voice suddenly sounded from the harmonious sound.


    Ge Yan tilted his head and saw that the person who had just spoke was a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He looked at with a hint of hostility in his eyes.


    I don''t know either. That woman said that the Captain and Captain were narrow-minded and vengeful people, and said that I offended them, so they won''t welcome me back. I said that I don''t believe that the Captain and Captain are such people, and they told me to come back. After Ge Yan finished speaking, he looked at him innocently.


    The young man was somewhat uncomfortable looking at him, rebutting that he was not, not rebutting that he was not, and immediately looked towards Ma Wen, as if he was saving him.


    Ge Yan blinked his eyes, "Look at what the Captain is doing, could it be that he ¡­"


    "Don''t speak nonsense, the captain is not the one to order me around." The young man loudly denied it in a moment of desperation.


    "I didn''t say that the captain was going to order you around. Why do you think that?" Ge Yan looked at him, then looked at Ma Wen. Although he did not say it, his expression gave others a feeling of enlightenment.


    Everyone''s gaze moved between Ma Wen and the young man, and it was unknown what they were thinking, but their expressions became complicated.


    Ma Wen''s face was as dark as a black cloud. He gave the young man a hidden glare, and the fool who did not fail immediately changed into a concerned expression when he turned towards Ge Yan, "Jimmy, Captain and I were just discussing how to get you back from the Alice''s Mercenary Regiment. It''s good that you came back safely.


    "I knew that the Guild Leader wouldn''t care about the lives of us small fry like us." Ge Yan''s face was swept clean of disappointment as he said happily.


    A few words came out from Ma Wen''s forehead, he almost wanted to sew up his mouth. Even though what he said was normal, but why did it sound so similar?


    Ge Yan walked in front of Rex and was slightly pleased. Seeing how beautifully he completed the mission, Ma Wen and Regiment Commander Locke must hate him to death now.


    "Well done." Rex praised.


    Ge Yan was immediately overjoyed, thinking about how he had tried to rope him in when he was still young, and how she had told him about this matter.


    was a little surprised upon hearing this, he did not know that still had this kind of ability, it actually made the Daniel couple, who were notoriously difficult to deal with, to have a good impression of him, "It''s better to have another friend than an enemy, in the future, they might be able to help you."


    Ge Yan nodded.


    There were no sounds of insects in the Magic Beast Forest at night, only the roars of Magic Beast coming from afar. Other than the people on night duty, everyone else was asleep, filled with worry.


    On the second day, when the sun had just risen, the dormant camp began to revive, and was bustling once again. Other than a few adventurers, the three Mercenary Regiment s had not left the outskirts of the Thorny Valley.


    Ge Yan followed behind Rex, and Rex also followed along with the footsteps of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, as the group of people stealthily entered the Thorny Valley.


    The inside was even bigger than what Ge Yan had imagined, the road was filled with thorns, and these thorns were even alive. They would actively attack the person who enters the Thorny Valley, causing physical attacks to be useless, because no matter how many cuts you make, the thorny fire will not die.


    The Regiment Commander Locke had the Fire Mage open a path for them. The higher the rank of the Fire Mage, the more powerful the fire was. After a short while, the fire was burnt to ashes, and the dirt on the ground turned black.


    Half a day later, they finally traversed the path of thorns. However, they had also encountered the first wave of attacks from Magic Beast s after entering the Thorny Valley.


    The Illusory Butterfly was a very difficult to deal with level four Magic Beast, and its strength was not very high generally. The reason it was difficult to deal with was because its pollen had a bewitching effect, and it almost penetrated every nook and cranny, accidentally sucking in a bit of it would cause a lot of trouble.


    Ge Yan was fine with being protected by Rex, but the other mercenaries were not so lucky. Two of them accidentally inhaled a bit, and then, one of them probably dreamed of something terrifying, and started to swing his blade around, getting knocked out by Ma Wen''s palm, while the other crippled himself and stabbed himself in the abdomen. Immediately, fresh blood flowed out, howling in pain as he woke up from the illusion.


    The pale face of the mercenary looked at his captain with a look of deep concern, as if he was afraid that his captain would throw him out.


    Regiment Commander Locke was a little impatient. Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled by Ma Wen to give him a hint, for the two mercenaries to take him and the unconscious man out of the Thorny Valley.


    There was a lake in Thorny Valley, and just as they were preparing to cross the river, they were attacked by the devil fish in the river. The devil fish could let out a wail that sounded like a baby''s cry, it could disturb one''s mind, stimulating the ruthless factors in the depths of their heart, making those who crossed the river more and more irritable.


    "Didn''t you say that the stronger a person is, the less likely they would be affected?" Ge Yan walked behind and asked Rex softly. He felt that Regiment Commander Locke seemed to be the person who was affected the most.


    "If your emotions aren''t firm, you''ll be affected somewhat." Rex coldly swept a glance at the Regiment Commander Locke who was walking at the very front, his expression unfathomable.


    As the instigator of this, Ge Yan immediately shut his mouth, and secretly chuckled in his heart.


    Rex shot a glance at him. If Ge Yan were to raise his head and look at him now, perhaps he would be able to see an extremely faint smile in the depths of his eyes.


    From afar, it looked very spectacular. This was how the river water of the Thorny Valley came about, and the top of the cliff actually looked like it could enter the valley, but first, the sky was the home of the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm, and it was easy to be discovered, and once it was discovered that it was almost a dead end, only Sword Saint level experts could fly in the air, but how could such a strong expert possibly look at a mere Dragon Fruit, so this road basically wouldn''t work.


    When they arrived, Alice''s Mercenary Regiment and crow Mercenary Regiment were already lurking in the other two directions, observing the terrain inside the valley.


    According to reliable sources, Dragon Fruit grew on the cliff behind the waterfall, and came out from the crevices of the rocks. The Scarlet Shelled Earthworm''s nest was also at the back of the waterfall, when the Dragon Fruit matured, it would emit an alluring smell, and the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm would rely on the smell to stick its head out of the nest to pick the fruits.


    There were only two ways to stop the Dragon Fruit from maturing, and two, to get rid of the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm.


    The former was basically impossible, because there were too many people coveting Dragon Fruit in the corners, and no one wanted to help others with the task of cutting off their scent, so no one thought of using this method. The latter had to work together with everyone, but with the grudge between the three great Mercenary Regiment s, the possibility of cooperation was also cut off.


    The three great Mercenary Regiment s simultaneously thought of this point, and began to arrange their troops to set up a formation. Right at this moment, Regiment Commander Locke suddenly said something that made everyone quieten down.

 C39

    "When the Dragon Fruit matures, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm will definitely appear. All of you go and block first. Once I finish harvesting the Dragon Fruit, we will immediately retreat." Regiment Commander Locke did not reply after he finished speaking.


    Although they only had the strength of the Saint Level Magic Beast, their strength was comparable to that of the Divine Beast s. In front of such a powerful Magic Beast, little soldiers like them were just going to die, let alone whether or not he could snatch the Dragon Fruit, even if he could get it, the entire Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment would be destroyed.


    In the end, it was Ma Wen who stood up to bring up the atmosphere.


    At this moment, a sweet fragrance suddenly drifted over.


    Everyone was stunned, and in the next second, someone shouted loudly: "Has the Dragon Fruit matured?"


    Following his words, countless figures suddenly rushed towards the waterfall, their speed so fast that one could only see afterimages. Among them, there were three leaders of the Mercenary Regiment, Regiment Commander Locke was one of them, his reaction was not slow at all, and even those at the front, who thought that the Dragon Fruit was his life, and would not lose if he did not risk it.


    Just as they were about to approach the place where the Dragon Fruit''s scent came from, a intimidating dragon roar came from behind the waterfall. When passing through the waterfall, it was a little weak, but there was an echo from the valley, just like when the entire valley was filled with the voices of Scarlet Armored Land Dragons.


    After a while, the head of the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm stuck out from behind the waterfall, causing splashes that turned into arrows that flew out in all directions. It was obvious that the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm had discovered the intruders in the valley, as an angry pressure instantly swept out, and Regiment Commander Locke and the rest who were running in front took the lead.


    At this moment, someone let out a series of miserable screams.


    Some people actually wanted to fish in troubled waters, so when the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm''s attention was attracted to the Regiment Commander Locke and the rest, they swam towards the bottom of the lake. Unexpectedly, there were Magic Beast s underneath the lake, and someone''s leg was snapped off right after he entered the water.


    This Devil Fish was actually different from the one they encountered when they first entered. Before, it was only a level four or five Magic Beast, but this one was at least level seven.


    Before everyone could recover from their shock, a few more Devil Fish jumped out from the water. Without exception, these Devil Fish had the strength of at least a sixth or seventh stage Magic Beast.


    At this point, no one dared to swim over the surface of the water. Even if they were to swim over the surface of the water, they would be attacked by a group of devil fish.


    If they lost the convenient shortcut, they could only walk towards the sky. However, in the air, more than half of the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm''s body stuck out from behind the waterfall.


    The Scarlet Shelled Earthworm''s body was enormous, with only half of its body visible. From afar, it looked like it occupied more than half of the sky. If its tail were to extend outwards, no one would dare approach it.


    He would not be able to pick Dragon Fruit s if he did not go near. When he saw that the Dragon Fruit s had matured, if he did not take them off in time, they would automatically fall off. After they fell off, the Dragon Fruit would fall into the lake, and there would be countless devil fish baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.


    The fragrance was getting stronger and stronger. Everyone knew that the Dragon Fruit was about to fall off, so the Regiment Commander Locke who was blocked by the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm could only place their hopes on Ma Wen.


    Ma Wen immediately brought his men to the lakeside. They were still a hundred meters away from the waterfall, and the surface of the lake were covered with dozens of reefs, some of them trying to get past them, but all of them were forced back into the water by the demon fish. Some of them even directly fell into the water, struggling for a while before sinking.


    If it was in the past, they would definitely obey as long as the captain opened his mouth. However, since they knew that the captain didn''t take their lives seriously, they didn''t say anything, but their hearts were already filled with resentment and resistance.


    Ma Wen was obviously aware of this point, his face darkened as he thought of his plan. If he lost the trust of his subordinates, he and the Guild Leader would become bachelors sooner or later, and would be unable to continue like this, causing Ma Wen''s brain to spin quickly. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Rex and Ge Yan who were standing at the back, and he immediately had a thought of killing two birds with one stone.


    "Rex, Jimmy, come over here for a while."


    Hearing Ma Wen calling them, Ge Yan suddenly had a bad idea. Seeing Rex walking towards him expressionlessly, he forced himself to walk in front of him.


    "Is there something wrong with Captain Ma Wen?"


    Ma Wen said amiably: "You have been in the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment for a while, and have yet to do anything for it. This time is the moment when you all show your abilities to the Mercenary Regiment, Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment does not raise idle people, so I have a plan."


    It must be because of them being used as bait to attract the Devilfish. Ge Yan immediately looked at Rex, discovering that he was asking for his plan with a calm expression. If it wasn''t for the fact that he already knew what kind of person he was, even he would have been tricked into thinking that Rex was a good subordinate.


    Ma Wen did not know, but he told her his plan.


    Just like what Ge Yan had thought, they were using the two of them as bait. There were many reefs on the surface of the lake, which could form multiple routes, but there were three paths in the direction they were heading towards. He wanted Ge Yan and Rex to take two of them and attract the attention of the Devil Fish.


    "The Devilfish under the water all have the strength of an Intermediate Magic Beast. There aren''t many that can contend against us here, but I do have a method to ensure the lives of our brothers." Rex''s face did not reveal a single trace, his low and calm voice allowed others who heard him to feel that he was calm.


    Ma Wen did not expect him to say these words. He wanted to teach the two of them a lesson, but being told by him was instead hinting that he was someone who did not care about his subordinates'' lives. Looking at Rex''s smiling expression, he sneered in his heart. Even though he thought this in his heart, he still asked, "Since you have a good idea, why didn''t you say it earlier? Quickly, tell me about it."


    "The method is very simple, it''s just that the intermediate level Magic Beast''s Devil Fish is not an intelligent Magic Beast. They only attack the people that walk past them, we only need to catch a few Magic Beast and throw them down, we can even use them as stepping stones ¡­"


    When Rex finished speaking, other than Ma Wen, the rest of them had strange looks in their eyes. This method was much better than what the captain had said, as it could almost guarantee their lives.


    "Rex, your method is indeed good. How about this, everyone should go and capture a few Magic Beast and bring them over." Ma Wen praised Rex fakely but the smile on his face did not reach his eyes. If one looked carefully, they would be able to see the haze in his eyes.


    Everyone immediately ran out to catch the Magic Beast.


    When the crow Mercenary Regiment and Alice''s Mercenary Regiment people noticed this scene, they thought that they would escape before the battle, and immediately sneered at them with faces full of disdain.


    Not long after, each of the s returned, one by one. Some of them were already dead, while others even had half a life left, and they threw them into the lake, where a group of Devil Fish swam over in an instant. Seeing that this method was very effective, everyone threw the remaining Magic Beast s down.


    Ma Wen was overjoyed, at this time, he could not care about Rex and the others, and seized the opportunity to rush towards the waterfall opposite him. A hundred meters of distance was actually not far, and he had already dived behind the waterfall.


    So this was how it could be played!


    The adventurers and mercenaries all scolded loudly and rushed over. Especially Crow and Alice, they were worried that Ma Wen would pick the Dragon Fruit first, so for a moment, everyone crowded over here.


    At this time, the Demon Fish at the bottom of the lake had finished enjoying the great meal which was used by Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment to attract them. When they once again surfaced, the adventurers and mercenaries who had crowded together were caught red-handed, and their miserable screams sounded out once again.


    Perhaps because this place was too lively, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm''s attention was also brought over. As a result, when it realized that Ma Wen was about to pick the Dragon Fruit, an angry dragon''s roar suddenly sounded from above its Thorny Valley.


    "Be careful!" The Regiment Commander Locke roared.


    A huge draconic tail extended out from the waterfall and fiercely flung towards Ma Wen who was on the cliff. With a loud bang, rocks and water arrows flew in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, a fault appeared on the waterfall. The cliff that had been polished to a very smooth surface, suddenly had a wide and long fissure appear on the cliff where it was cut in half, but Ma Wen disappeared without a trace.


    "Where''s the Dragon Fruit?" The Regiment Commander Locke''s angry and unwilling voice suddenly sounded.


    Daniel and his wife also reacted when they heard him. At that time, Ma Wen seemed to be not too far from the Dragon Fruit, when the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm''s tail lashed out, it even included the place where the Dragon Fruit grew up.


    With the Dragon Fruit gone, there was nothing left for them to fight for.


    Daniel and Heidi looked at each other and immediately ordered their retreat.


    Black Crow did not expect this, but seeing Daniel and his wife''s retreating movements, he understood, only Regiment Commander Locke held onto a sliver of hope, if he did not see it with his own eyes, he would not have given up. It was a pity that the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm did not give him the chance, seeing how this reckless human kept provoking his dignity again and again, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm was furious.


    The dragon tail angrily swept towards its surroundings, and the entire valley seemed to start shaking, as the water in the lake came gushing out, flooding the entire land, causing countless of stones to fall from the cliff face, smashing onto the bodies of the people who did not have the time to escape, and letting out blood-curdling screams and wails that filled the entire Thorny Valley.


    Amidst the chaos, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Ma Wen who was heavily injured by the lake and rushed to the corner.

 C40

    Although Ma Wen was not hit by the dragon''s tail, in order to defend himself from the dragon''s furious attack, he suffered a considerable amount of internal injuries. His internal organs seemed to have been displaced, and fresh blood spurted out of his mouth.


    Seeing the Rex that suddenly appeared in front of him, Ma Wen did not reveal the joy of being saved, his pupils suddenly shrank, the expression on his face was actually replaced with anger.


    The people outside thought that he was still a few meters away from the Dragon Fruit, but only he knew that he had actually already encountered it. It was just that at that time, he didn''t even have the time to say a single word before he was discovered by the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm.


    Ma Wen was a smart person. When he saw that the so called Dragon Fruit was actually just a small cyan fruit, and there were still a few more months before it would mature, he had already thought it through.


    It was true that there were Dragon Fruit s in the Thorny Valley, but the date of maturity was wrong. Clearly, someone had spread the news that the Dragon Fruit was about to mature on purpose in order to lure them here, and that person was Rex who had leaked the news to them.


    On the day they arrived at Ma Nan City, people from Alice''s Mercenary Regiment came to look for them, and Jimmy was taken captive by Daniel. After that, Rex deliberately used the Dragon Fruit to lure them in, and the Regiment Commander Locke anxiously tried to make up for it by taking the bait easily.


    He just could not understand what Rex''s goal was. If it was just to save Jimmy, then there was no need to go through so much trouble. However, after seeing Rex appear, he finally understood.


    "Carlos, you killed Ariel and Sayin, the three young masters, right?" Ma Wen''s face was filled with anger as he stared at Rex, a cold light exploding out from his eyes.


    Rex didn''t say anything, he only stared at him expressionlessly, but of course she didn''t stop him from speaking.


    However, Ma Wen received the answer he thought of from his silence. He could not help but burst out laughing, and after laughing, he coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood, holding onto his chest and said: "My clever life was in vain, I was actually toyed around with by a little kid. It''s just that I have two questions I do not understand."


    Rex did not respond. Ma Wen spoke while minding his own business, "First question, if you do not do these things, we will never know that Carlos and the other two were killed by you.


    Rex looked at the Regiment Commander Locke outside who was fleeing in panic from the attacks of the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm, his voice cold: "You are smarter than Locke."


    Ma Wen was stunned, he had never thought that the person he was following would one day become the reason for him to be targeted. The smart guy immediately thought of the meaning behind those words, exactly because he and Regiment Commander Locke were on the same boat, their interests were tied together, then no matter what, he would think of a way to help Regiment Commander Locke get out of the situation, and the best way was to frame Rex as having murdered Carlos and the other two.


    "Second question. I don''t understand how you managed to get Jimmy, who doesn''t like you, to agree to act with you."


    He suspected that they were doing it precisely because of Jimmy''s personality. Jimmy wasn''t the type of person who would repay favors with favors, and he could tell at a glance the kind of hypocrisy and hypocrisy this youth disobeyed in his bones. He was someone whose heart had already been corroded by darkness.


    In Rex''s mind, he recalled Ge Yan''s face that sometimes seemed very stupid, after thinking back to his cage, he pulled out the sword at his waist, "It''s time to end this."


    Ma Wen, who did not get the chance to hear the answer, regretfully died. His body was thrown into the lake by Rex, and the smell of blood had attracted the attention of the devil fish.


    As for the second person.


    Rex turned around and walked towards the young man who was standing not far away from him.


    The sunlight shined through the clouds and landed in the Thorny Valley.


    The chaotic Thorny Valley finally calmed down after the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm finished venting its anger. The huge dragon returned to its nest and silently waited a few months for the Dragon Fruit to mature.


    The terrified adventurers and mercenaries who had to face the Magic Beast outside the valley after escaping the Thorny Valley, in the end, they did not manage to reap any benefits, and instead suffered a lot of casualties. Among them, the one who suffered the most was Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and without the protection of the Regiment Commander Locke, Ma Wen had also died, yet he had unluckily encountered a group of wild cows.


    "Back to Sag City." Regiment Commander Locke walked out of the forest in a sorry state. He did not even spare them a glance as his face became gloomy and terrifying.


    The remaining seven to eight subordinates stood on the spot for a while, most of them with their heads lowered, unable to see what they were thinking. After a while, they caught up to the Regiment Commander Locke and did not say a word on the way back.


    Returning to Sag City, the Regiment Commander Locke locked himself in his room. In his heart, he probably thought that it was still the same as before, that Ma Wen had died. He forgot that no one would help him after he recovered from his injuries.


    The next day, as his injuries had not recovered, Regiment Commander Locke had no choice but to come out. When he wanted to find someone to order him around, he found that he could normally see a lot of people casually.


    "Where are they? Where are they?"


    The mercenary who was being held by him happened to be Colin. He suppressed the anger in his heart, lowered his head and said, "They said they don''t want to stay in Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, so they all left."


    Regiment Commander Locke threw him out, his entire being was filled with rage, "Trash, why didn''t they stop them? What kind of place do they think their Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment is at, they think they can come and go as they please?"


    "There are so many of them, how can we stop them? Moreover ¡­" If it weren''t for you, they wouldn''t have left, Colin thought indignantly. If his clan hadn''t been in the imperial city, he would have left with them long ago.


    "And what, what do you want to say?" Regiment Commander Locke''s facial features were sinister and terrifying, like an irritable lion. He no longer had his usual calm and steady demeanor of a Guild Leader, but successive blows had finally caused him to lose more than half of his rationality.


    Just as Colin was about to say something, Regiment Commander Locke''s fists suddenly beat him senseless.


    A few people who were spectating nearby hurriedly walked over to mediate, but were treated as a group by Regiment Commander Locke who had lost his rationality, and accidentally killed a mercenary. In the end, the last few people who were watching also ran away, and Regiment Commander Locke became the commander of the group.


    The two people who had caused this were now on the streets of Sag City.

 C41

    As one of the strongholds of the Atherenka Empire, Zag City''s prosperity far surpassed that of the Southern Horse City. Although there were many ordinary commoners, there were even more adventurers going in and out of the city gate.


    Adventurers with weapons could be seen everywhere on the street, and occasionally, people with Magic Beast s could be seen following them. Every time one of them appeared, people on the street would subconsciously look at them, and most of them had an envious expression.


    Ge Yan curiously looked around, a small head peeking out from his chest, turning around just like him, to look around. It was the Shadow Winged Tiger after its camouflage, and then it would be the dark night, it was originally small in size, but after its camouflage, it was only as big as a fist, if one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see it.


    Rex turned his head around and saw that the man and the beast had moved their heads, their pace almost identical.


    Ge Yan didn''t notice that Rex had already stopped moving. When its forehead touched his shoulder, the Dark Night in his embrace cried out, as if it was the one who bumped into it. Seeing Ge Yan looking down at it, its big blue eyes revealed an excited expression, and in that moment, it was as if Ge Yan thought he had raised a Husky.


    "Aren''t we going to the Mage''s Guild?" Ge Yan put its head back into his clothes and focused on Rex. When it looked over, Rex had already retracted his gaze.


    "We''re here." Rex said.


    Ge Yan followed his line of sight and saw a signboard with the words "Mage''s Guild" written on it. He thought that this kind of place that sounded very imposing, would be a building that had a very spectacular and majestic appearance like Mercenary Union. It took up an extremely large area and was extremely eye-catching, but when he looked at it, he realized that he was overthinking.


    The Mage''s Guild in front of his eyes was not even half of the Mercenary Union. Although the position was more conspicuous, it was not prominent enough, and there were less people than the Mercenary Union.


    The two of them went in, it was also empty inside, there were not many people inside, Ge Yan looked in and saw a young man with a lazy expression, the young man yawned, looking drowsy and confused, and did not realise that a guest had entered.


    "Why are there so few people?" Ge Yan could not help but ask.


    "In the end, Zag City isn''t a big city, and it''s also a fortress close to the Magic Beast Forest. Pure Mages won''t come here to die." Without waiting for Ge Yan to understand what the words meant, Rex walked towards the young man and knocked on the clean table.


    The young man instantly came to his senses, an impeccable smile hung on his face as he changed his expression perfectly. "Hello, how can I help you?"


    Rex pointed at Ge Yan: "He wants to test his Inherent Skill."


    The young man''s gaze landed on Ge Yan, his smile not changing: "The test for talent requires a fee, you can hand it in after the test, there is only one type of talent that requires 5 gold coins, two or more are not charged at all, if there are no problems, please enter, someone will bring you guys for the test."


    Rex nodded and brought Ge Yan inside.


    "What was the pure mage you were talking about?" Ge Yan asked as he walked.


    Rex thought about how he did not know anything and explained in a rare manner: "It''s just that only with a Mage''s Inherent Skill, he can''t become a Swordsman. Sage City will be attacked by the tides of Magic Beast s every year, Mages will only use Magic, their bodies are too weak, so very few Mages will come to Sage City.


    The test for the talent of a Mage was usually conducted at the age of seven, so there were very few adults who came to take the test. The only exceptions were conditions such as poverty or other special circumstances.


    After Ge Yan heard this, he suddenly thought of a question, "Am I a pure mage?" He did not want to be a weak man, but he felt that he did not have the talent to become a Swordsman.


    "Jimmy is a Swordsman."


    "That''s good, isn''t this the so-called dual cultivation of magic and martial arts?" Ge Yan asked excitedly. It sounded really cool.


    Rex looked at him strangely, "There are a lot of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, this is not strange at all."


    "Huh?" Ge Yan received ten thousand points of damage.


    His name was Mars, and he was a pure mage. Knowing that they were here to test his innate talent, Mars introduced himself briefly before bringing them to the test site.


    It was a relatively large hall, and because no one seemed to be empty, there was a stone platform in the middle of it. On the stone platform was a crystal ball the size of a durian, and the crystal ball was transparent.


    Mars asked Ge Yan to place his hand on the crystal ball and imbue his Qi into the crystal ball. Through sensing, the crystal ball would impart his Inherent Skill.


    The brighter the color, the more outstanding the talent, the easier it would be for him to learn in the future. Yellow represents earth, blue represents water, green represents wind, green represents wood, and so on.


    Ge Yan was a little perturbed in his heart, afraid that he did not have this Inherent Skill. He followed Mars'' instructions and closed his eyes, quickly feeling a warm current flowing into the crystal ball.


    The crystal ball began to shine brightly, lighting up the entire hall as if it was day, not even sparing the corners. After a while, the inside of the crystal ball suddenly turned into a vast ocean, like dark blue seawater rolling inside, but the light was very bright.


    This was the first time he saw such a bright blue color. This young man undoubtedly had water talent, and not only that, judging from the brightness, his talent was very high in water magic. Just as Mars wanted to speak, the crystal ball changed, and the gentle blue seawater turned into a bright green.


    At the same time, the airflow in the space seemed to have changed. With Ge Yan at the center, the water and wood elements in the air actually entered his body little by little.


    Mars'' jaw almost dropped to the ground as his eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets in the next second. He was completely dumbfounded by what he saw, and after a while, he rubbed his eyes with his hands to make sure that he wasn''t mistaken. It was just a patch of green, and the color was very bright.


    However, he had never met someone who simultaneously possessed water and wood element magic, especially someone who could draw magic from the air. This meant that the other person had the body of an elemental, and furthermore, the body of an elemental, water and wood element. This talent, combined with the body of an elemental, represented one kind of person, and in the end, they became the most respected people in the Ezra Continent.


    The atmosphere calmed down, and the green light in the crystal ball dispersed. However, the crystal ball was still glowing, but this time it was completely colorless. After a while, the crystal ball gradually dimmed down.


    Mars was only filled with shock, he did not notice this phenomenon, and when he looked at Ge Yan again, not only was there admiration in his eyes, there was even more respect.


    However, Rex noticed it.

 C42

    "Congratulations, the blue and green colors represent the water and wood elements, respectively. It has been a long time since I have seen anyone with these two gifts since I have come to Sag City, I didn''t expect to see the birth of a noble Beast Trainer in my lifetime." A noble Beast Trainer was actually excavated from his hands. As long as this matter spread, their Mage''s Guild would definitely attract even more people.


    Ge Yan''s expression did not reveal the reaction Mars expected him to have. He blinked his eyes, as if he did not understand what this meant.


    A passionate Mars: "..."


    Rex who knew the truth suddenly coughed.


    He had always thought that Ge Yan was someone who had once suffered from an unforeseen event, hence he only came here to test his Inherent Skill now. One must know that only those who knew their own Inherent Skills could cure the illness, so even if it was commoners, they would still think of ways to gather five gold coins in front of a child, because the earlier they train, the better it would be for the child.


    However, after realizing that he did not even know what a Beast Trainer was, Mars couldn''t help but suspect that he came from some remote corner, a place that might have been extremely backward.


    Thinking like this, he did not have any thoughts of looking down on Ge Yan. Ezra Continent was not without powerhouses who were born with low status, so Mars'' face immediately straightened, and started to explain to Ge Yan what a Beast Trainer was.


    "Since you are not clear about it, let me explain to you that only those who possess both water and wood elemental magic, as well as bodies of water or wood elements, are qualified to become Beast Trainer. Both of your talents are extremely outstanding, which means that in the future, you will be able to become an extremely powerful Beast Trainer."


    "As the name implies, Beast Trainer is a tamed Magic Beast, and you also know that Magic Beast are wild and untamed, especially those with stronger abilities such as high level Magic Beast, or those who have not been tamed, so it is very difficult for humans to form a contract with them. Later on, there would be a Beast Trainer, and all the tamed Magic Beast could form a contract with anyone, and there would be no risks at all."


    Ge Yan could not help but be curious, "Are there very few Beast Trainer s?"


    "Of course, I don''t know more than a thousand Beast Trainer. It is recorded that the probability of those who possess these two Inherent Skills is one in a hundred million, second only to those who cultivate both magic and martial arts."


    Ge Yan immediately took in a deep breath. One in a hundred thousand, he had actually won the prize. If he knew earlier that he should have bought the lottery in his previous life, he would have had to chance of it happening.


    "So you''re saying I''m rich?"


    "That''s why I have to congratulate you. Beast Trainer''s position in the Ezra Continent is very prestigious, and very few people would dare to offend Beast Trainer. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties, as long as you reveal your identity as the Beast Trainer, the other party will definitely not make things difficult for you. Not only that, they will even have to curry favor with you."


    Ge Yan imagined a group of people crawling at his feet, and instantly laughed out loud.


    Rex, "..."


    If he also knew how to laugh secretly, then he said: "Since Sir has taken the test for dual element Inherent Skill, according to the rules of the guild, you don''t have to pay 5 gold coins, and you can also receive many preferential treatment in the Mage''s Guild. Please follow me and handle the formalities."


    The badges were divided into five categories according to their level. The lowest level badge could only enjoy one type of discount, and that was that there was no need to pay any fees to enter the city. The higher the discount, the higher the discount.


    Mars actually wanted to give Ge Yan a diamond badge, but because of some reasons, they did not have that right for now, and it would take a while for him to apply, so the badge they could give him now was a Level 4 Crystal Badge. Although it was one level lower than the diamond badge, but it still had a high level of entitlement, and as far as he knew, the crystal badge that Mage''s Guild could give out wasn''t many either.


    After Ge Yan finished listening to what he had to say, he asked him about the time of submission. After learning that it was at least a month, he immediately lost all interest in him and they did not plan to stay in Sago City any longer.


    "You don''t have to worry, with your status as the Beast Trainer, it won''t be hard for you to request for another diamond badge in the future. Furthermore, this diamond badge is just a icing on the cake for you."


    The meaning behind his words was that the status of the Beast Trainer was already noble enough.


    Ge Yan was in a good mood because he did not care about the diamond badge that much.


    When the young man at the counter found out that he was actually a noble Beast Trainer, he was annoyed that he had dozed off and did not leave a good impression. After completing the procedures, Ge Yan and Rex left the Mage''s Guild together.


    With a serious face, he said to the young man: "Bring this news to headquarters immediately, a new Beast Trainer has appeared. I have a premonition that this young man will definitely shock the world with his Ezra Continent, and our Mage''s Guild will definitely not be his enemy."


    The young man nodded seriously, he was thinking the same thing. It had been so many years since a new Beast Trainer had appeared in Ezra Continent, but at this critical moment, a new genius had appeared.


    Leaving the Mage''s Guild, Ge Yan suddenly asked Rex: "How did you know I had this kind of Inherent Skill?"


    Jimmy was even more certain that if he had the talent of the Beast Trainer, he would definitely not hide it from the public, and would spread it around for everyone to know, making the people of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment not look down on him, and would probably want to hold him in their hands, so he dared to conclude that this talent was probably unearthed because of his arrival.


    Rex''s expression did not change, and only replied with a question, "Do you know why Beast Trainer''s innate talent is water and wood, and not something else?"


    Ge Yan thought for a while, "Is it related to taming Magic Beast?"


    Rex said, "The water element is the gentlest of all the elements, and the wood element represents nature. When two elements are combined together, it can cause Magic Beast to develop a good impression and become close to the Beast Trainer, so they can tame Magic Beast."


    "I understand. That night, you were close to me, so you suspected that I had the talent of the Beast Trainer, which was why I let me contract with it. I didn''t think that I would succeed so quickly, so you confirmed your guess right?" Ge Yan was not far from the truth.


    "The dark night?" Rex raised his eyebrows.


    Ge Yan immediately laughed, "That''s right, I named the Shadow Winged Tiger as Dark Night, how is it?


    Rex looked at Hei Ye, who was peeking at him with a stupid and adorable head at his collar. The name was indeed domineering, but it still had to be looked at, he gave a light hum of affirmation.


    Ge Yan thought that he liked this name a lot as well. He pointed to the egg behind him and said, "I named Dark Night. After it breaks the shell, I''ll give you its name."


    "It doesn''t matter."

 C43

    The two of them were preparing to go back when a noise suddenly came from the front, it just so happened to be right in front of Mercenary Union, and normally it would be noisy like this, so people who passed by wouldn''t be surprised, Ge Yan subconsciously looked over, but just as he was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure.


    "It''s that person, the one called Frank." Ge Yan suddenly grabbed Rex''s arm excitedly.


    Rex subconsciously wanted to struggle free. He was not used to people touching him, but in the end, he endured it and followed his gaze. Sure enough, at the Mercenary Union entrance, he saw the Frank who escaped from his hands.


    Compared to the person who was in high spirits back then, Frank was now in a more miserable state. He looked like a withered figure, like two people with a layer of dark haze covering their foreheads, and their entire bodies looked very gloomy. It had only been a few days, not even a month, yet he had fallen into this state.


    Ge Yan was originally thinking about how to deal with this person. Seeing his miserable side, he immediately felt that even if they didn''t come out, this person would not be able to threaten them.


    Frank was an arrogant person, but this was because he was talented and had power, thus, for the past thirty years, his life had gone smoothly, and the people around him had also followed his lead. This made him feel extremely superior, but ever since he went to Tasha Forest, his life seemed to have suddenly turned a corner, and an earth-shattering change happened in an instant.


    When his companion in Tasha Forest died was a friend''s brother, his friend knew that his brother had died and accused him of bringing him back but did not bring him back, in order to sever all relations with him, and even instigated others to target Frank. Frank was arrogant, but in his heart, he had never treated them as true friends, and he even thought that it was better this way.


    At that time, he already knew that the two Mercenary Regiment, Crow and Black Wolf, had not found the Shadow Winged Tiger, and was sure that the young Holy Beast would definitely land in the hands of Rex and Ge Yan. Although he did not know who they were, he could sell them the information.


    However, when he left Tasha Forest, he discovered that Black Crow had already left Triese Town and Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment had also left. It was said that he was preparing to return to the Capital, so he chased after them, and after finally reaching Ma Nan City, he heard that they had gone to Magic Beast Forest, so Frank did not dare go to Magic Beast Forest alone.


    This wait was enough to cause trouble again.


    Frank discovered that there was a problem with his body. Every time he circulated the Qi in his body, he would feel a bit of obstruction, and as time passed, the obstruction would become more and more clear. Frank finally started to panic, he found a mage who was good at healing, and asked him to check if there was anything wrong with his body.


    He could not help him and Frank had to look for someone to think of a way. In the end, he was targeted, and the other party used the excuse that he had met with similar situations to deceive him, causing Frank to be anxious to solve his problem, to be duped without any further confirmation. All the gold coins he had were tricked by the other party, and then he disappeared.


    Frank who had nowhere to go could not even eat three meals, so he could only come to Mercenary Union to earn money from missions. But before receiving the missions, he had already angered the infamous Earth Scorpion Mercenary Regiment.


    The Earth Scorpion was a third-rate Mercenary Regiment, and their leader was called Lauren. It was a Advanced Swordsman, and his greatest ability was to bully the weak, mainly staying in Sage City, and often staring at the weaker adventurers, especially those who exposed his wealth. Although Frank was almost full from three meals, he paid a lot of attention to his appearance, and just like that he was being targeted.


    If it was in the past, Frank wouldn''t need to be afraid of a third-rate Mercenary Regiment, but the present was different from the past.


    Seeing Lauren''s boorish face revealing a naked extortion and the expressions of the spectators watching with rapt attention, Frank felt slightly humiliated. However, after considering the strength of both sides, he chose to compromise.


    "I don''t have any gold coins on me, but I have a way for you to get a lot of gold coins. However, you can''t let anyone else know about this, otherwise it''ll be useless." Frank said in a low voice.


    "Is that true?" You can''t be trying to lie to laozi, right? " Lauren coldly snorted.


    A look of disgust flashed past Frank''s eyes, and he said impatiently: "Since it''s like this how can I lie to you? This method is only known to me, and there is no need to pay any price.


    Lauren was still half believing and half doubting, but he guessed that he wouldn''t be able to overturn any big waves, so he let his subordinates take him and leave the Mercenary Union''s gate first.


    Outside the crowd, Ge Yan did not hear their soft conversation, but his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good thing. Maybe it was related to them, so before he could even open his mouth, he heard Rex say "Follow".


    Lauren brought Frank to an alley where no one else had walked in and asked his subordinates to release Frank. With a rough voice, he said, "You can say it now."


    Frank rubbed his shoulders and spat in his heart, only then did he tell Su Yun about the Holy Beast''s cub. However, he was smart enough to keep it a secret, "As long as you tell this news to the crow Mercenary Regiment, for the sake of that cub, they will definitely agree to this deal."


    He had concealed the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and this was the only way out for him. However, if he knew that only the Regiment Commander Locke was left of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and his position as the Guild Leader was still unprotected, he probably wouldn''t think this way.


    "Why are you so sure that Crow Mercenary Regiment will agree?" Lauren was not stupid, if the crow Mercenary Regiment did not feel that it was worth it, then he would not be able to get any benefits at all.


    Frank had already thought of a response, and vowed: "Of course I''m sure, because that Holy Beast cub is the mission of the crow Mercenary Regiment. Think about it, if there''s a sudden change in the mission, would they not agree? If it wasn''t for them suddenly going to the Magic Beast Forest, and if I hadn''t come to Sag City later on, I would have come to them to make a deal. I heard that they are about to leave Sago City. "


    Lauren had indeed heard of this matter, and immediately believed his words. If this was really the case, then he was rich, crow Mercenary Regiment was not a third-rate Mercenary Regiment, it was an A grade Mercenary Regiment, and with their rich and imposing manner, they should be willing to give up some wealth in exchange for this important information.


    "Fine, I''ll believe you for now, but if you dare to lie to me, I''ll definitely make you regret it for the rest of your life. Scram."


    Hearing that, Frank heaved a sigh of relief, he dared not say more, and turned to leave.


    "Wait." Lauren called out to him again.


    Frank suddenly had a bad premonition, he turned and frowned: What else do you want?


    Lauren suddenly felt that he could not let him go just like that. He had to confirm whether what the other party said was true or not, as he could not afford to anger Crow Mercenary Regiment, so he immediately said overbearingly: "I have decided, you still can''t leave, wait till I send someone to investigate and get back."


    Frank''s face immediately became cold, "What do you mean by that?"


    "I want to make sure you didn''t lie to your father. That''s what I meant." Lauren squinted his eyes and said sinisterly, "Or is the news fake, which is why you are in such a hurry to leave?"


    "As you wish. Anyway, what I said is the truth. You''ll be able to find out just by checking." Frank''s expression instantly darkened like a dark cloud. He had not deceived Lauren, so he naturally did not need to worry, he only erased his Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment. He was afraid that the other party would think of this point, but he was also afraid that his insistence on leaving would anger Lauren.


    Seeing that he was no longer talking about leaving, Lauren snorted, and immediately ordered his men to investigate the matter.


    This conversation was heard by Ge Yan and Rex. Even though they had a premonition about it, they never thought that Frank would actually tell the people of the Earth Scorpion Mercenary Regiment about the Holy Beast''s cub, and many people immediately came to know of it. Even if Frank had only told them about the crow Mercenary Regiment, as long as they told them the characteristics of their appearance, the crow Mercenary Regiment people would probably think of them.


    "This is troublesome. Is there any way to stop them?" If he had known earlier, Frank would have come out to stop him before he could say anything. Ge Yan could not help but regret.


    Rex was still expressionless, his deep eyes staring at the direction they left in was filled with emotions that Ge Yan could not understand. Seeing that he seemed to be deep in thought, Ge Yan thought that he was thinking of a way.


    The person Lauren sent over had quickly returned, and the incident at Tasha Forest had long ago spread to this place. It wasn''t difficult to find out the exact information.


    The news brought by his subordinate wasn''t too different from what Frank was saying, of course, there was an additional Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and the matter of the Thorny Valley had now spread. Seeing that Lauren did not seem to have any suspicions, Frank heaved a small sigh of relief.


    "How is it? I was right, right? Can I leave now?" Frank said confidently.


    Lauren was currently rejoicing at the news, but after hearing his words, he no longer bothered Frank, and his ferocious expression turned into a beaming smile, "Alright, you can leave now."


    Frank immediately stood up and left. After walking out of the inn, he quickened his pace, made sure no one was chasing him, and slowed down his pace. He couldn''t help but feel weak as he leaned against the wall.


    Frank wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and suddenly revealed a sinister expression on his face. He made a decision in his heart, and decided to look for Crow Mercenary Regiment now, because Lauren dared to threaten him like this, so he was not a good person, in any case, his Ezra Continent was so strong, after he left Zag City, how could the Earth Scorpion Mercenary Regiment people find him? Right at that moment, he suddenly heard someone call out his name.


    "Frank."

 C44

    Frank subconsciously turned his head, only to see a young man standing at the entrance of the alleyway. The golden sunlight shone down on his head, as if he was in a halo, and the young man smiled at him.


    Frank''s expression suddenly changed, he recognized this young man, it was because of them that he was reduced to such a state. A sinister look flashed across his eyes, he did not forget the man with the young man, even if he turned to dust, he would never forget.


    Where is the man?


    Frank''s gaze swept behind the young man, then looked around in shock. He did not see the man''s figure, and just as he was about to heave a sigh of relief, he saw a tall figure walk out from the corner of the wall behind the young man.


    Seeing Rex, Frank''s mind unavoidably recalled the miserable scene that happened that day. Back then, even he, who was in his best condition, could not defeat a man, let alone now.


    A crazy voice in his head shouted for him to hurry up and run. It was impossible for these two people to suddenly come looking for him just to chat, and they definitely did not come at this time. However, their instincts told them that the other party was not friendly, and so he ran.


    Ge Yan stood at his original position waiting for Rex, he would not participate in the following matters.


    In less than ten minutes, Rex appeared in the direction that led deeper into the alley, walking steadily towards him, his hands, clothes, and face did not have a drop of blood on them, but he could smell a faint scent of blood, he had not realised how sharp his nose was.


    "Done?" Ge Yan looked at Rex who had walked to his side and asked with a normal expression that seemed as if it was as natural as if he had already adapted to the cruel laws of this world.


    Rex nodded, "Let''s go."


    It was time to achieve his next goal.


    The Earth Scorpion Mercenary Regiment''s Lauren was actually not as stupid as he thought he was. On the contrary, he was a very clever man, especially regarding matters relating to money, so after Frank left, he immediately called his subordinate who he had sent before to ask him a few questions. Afterwards, he revealed a meaningful look of playfulness and ruthlessness.


    "Frank thought that I was a fool. He really thought that I did not know that it was not only Crow Mercenary Regiment that was fighting over the Holy Beast. The captain of the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment, Locke, was even more interested in that Holy Beast than the Black Crow."


    "Boss, then aren''t we rich? I heard that the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment is much richer than the crow''s Mercenary Regiment. Back then, for the sake of finding people, they had placed a bounty of 1000 gold coins on us, so no matter what, we should be able to get a reward of over 10,000 gold coins." His men were extremely excited as they began to silently work out a plan.


    Lauren grinned, "What does ten thousand gold coins count for? That''s a young Holy Beast, a strong Magic Beast that can''t be measured by gold coins is at least one hundred thousand gold coins."


    "Boss is right, then should we go find Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment first?"


    "That''s right, Frank definitely did not say it on purpose, he must be planning something on Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment. We can quickly sell the information to them before he does, it wouldn''t be too late for us to look for Crow Mercenary Regiment after we obtain the gold."


    Lauren and his subordinates thought that they had made a very smart decision, but didn''t know that it was because of their decision, they had actually given Rex and Ge Yan a chance.


    The place that the crow Mercenary Regiment was temporarily staying at was in a bustling city street, so all the way there were many people. Rex did not have the chance to make a move, but his Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment was different.


    The Earth Scorpion''s Mercenary Regiment was very conspicuous, but when they walked into the two''s line of sight, Ge Yan immediately noticed them.


    "They''re coming, they''re coming."


    Lauren did not bring all of his subordinates over, only roughly counting the seven of them. Other than him who was a Advanced Swordsman, the rest of them were all Intermediate Swordsman s or below.


    Even the Advanced Swordsman Lauren didn''t notice. After he turned a corner, he found a person standing in the middle of the road, but the other party did not seem to have any intention of giving way.


    "Who are you?" Lauren stopped, he looked at Rex with a trace of viciousness in his eyes.


    Rex looked at Lauren coldly, and walked towards him without saying a word.


    Lauren immediately pulled out his sword, pointed it at Rex and said with killing intent filling his entire face: "Stop, do not come over, if not, do not blame me for being rude."


    Rex acted as if he did not hear anything, raising his sword and chopping down without a word.


    Lauren used his sword to block. With a "clang", the sword broke, and the half of the blade fell to the ground, stuck into a crack on the stone floor. It shook a few times before it stopped moving.


    "You are the Great Swordsman?"


    Above the Advanced Swordsman was the Great Swordsman. Only people with a strength one level above his could so easily cut apart his sword, Lauren was immediately terrified, he did not know when he had offended such a powerful person. He wanted to explain that it was a misunderstanding, but Rex did not give him the chance.


    Blood spurted out of his wounds, and his hands were covered in blood. He screamed in fear when he saw his boss fall to the ground. The remaining six men ran for their lives.


    Rex held his sword and chased, almost every one of them.


    One of the mercenary soldiers was very smart, he knew that if everyone ran in one direction, they would die sooner or later, so after running for a distance, he immediately turned towards another direction. Turning his head to look, he realised that Rex was not chasing after them, and became very excited.


    "I''m sorry, but you can''t leave." This man was Ge Yan.


    Hearing that, the mercenary''s subordinate immediately knew that he was in cahoots with Rex. He was afraid of Rex, but was not afraid of him.


    Ge Yan was indeed a little weak, after all he had not received any training before, but he was not alone.


    Although it was not fatal, it caused the mercenary to lose his mobility and combat ability. His body was half burnt and he was spitting white foam on the ground, twitching non-stop, his eyes were wide open, as if he had discovered a secret, and stared straight at the arrogant face of Hei Ye, who was sitting in Ge Yan''s hands.


    Ge Yan walked over, picked up the sword on the ground and touched the mercenary a few times. After confirming that he did not have the ability to stand up anymore, he then patted Ye Wen''s head and praised him: "Well done."


    Hei Ye narrowed his eyes comfortably.


    After a while, Rex walked over with his dripping blood sword. Seeing that the mercenary on the ground was not dead yet, and that the element of lightning still remained in the air, he could not help but frown, "Why didn''t you kill him?"


    "Waiting for you." Ge Yan said.


    Rex did not budge, and looked at him meaningfully: "There has to be a first time."


    Ge Yan went silent for a moment, and said after a long time, "In my original world, killing people is against the law."


    "The piece of land you are standing on is the Ezra Continent."


    Ge Yan sighed as he looked into the sky, his eyes filled with melancholy: "So that''s why I''m trying so hard to adapt, don''t tell me that you didn''t notice that I have already improved a lot?"


    "Nope." Rex said heartlessly.


    "¡­" Ge Yan compromised, "Alright, I''ll try."


    Then, he stabbed the mercenary with the sword a dozen times before letting him die completely. Before dying, the mercenary revealed a look of hopelessness, he would rather bite his tongue and commit suicide if he knew.


    Under Rex''s strange gaze, Ge Yan quietly threw away the sword, his face full of disdain: "This sword is too blunt."

 C45

    When Ge Yan and Rex returned to their residence, they had not even entered but they had already seen the Regiment Commander Locke at the door, as if he was waiting for them. When he saw them return, he said that he was going to prepare to return to the imperial city and he didn''t look like he was about to go crazy.


    "Regiment Commander Locke came out of the shock? "The expression just now was a bit scary." Ge Yan felt goosebumps just thinking about it.


    "I don''t know." Rex stared at the direction where the Regiment Commander Locke left in, his eyes narrowing slightly, his thoughts unknown.


    Regiment Commander Locke, who had calmed down, did not ask the rest of them where they were going. It was obvious that he knew the reason why they were going.


    On the contrary, their journey was very smooth and their speed was neither fast nor slow. Half a month later, they finally returned to the Saint Laner Capital.


    Holy Orchid Empire was the imperial capital of Atherenka Empire, and Atherenka Empire was the largest, most prosperous city within the Ezra Continent, the center of the political economy. The headquarters of the famous Mercenary Union and Mage''s Guild were established here, and some famous merchant guilds were also established in the imperial capital.


    This was the first time Ge Yan had come to the Saint Laner Capital, and the surprise in his eyes was almost unconcealable. He thought that Zag City was already big enough, he didn''t expect that the Saint Laner Capital was even larger than this, to the point where he felt that it wasn''t enough to describe it as spectacular.


    After entering the city, before they could even tour around, the Regiment Commander Locke had already brought them to a place.


    Due to the fact that their Saint Laner Capital was too great, they rented two griffins near the city gates. The griffins flew above the imperial city, and even at a glance, they still could not see the end of the imperial city.


    Ge Yan looked down from above and couldn''t help but exclaim once again at the majesty and grandeur of the imperial city.


    The clouds covered their line of sight, and they could not see the buildings and symbols in front of them. Ge Yan did not know where the Regiment Commander Locke was planning to take them, so he could not help but ask Rex when he and Rex were riding on the same Griffin. The Regiment Commander Locke was on the Griffin in in front.


    "Where are we going?" Ge Yan''s voice was blown away by the wind and the Regiment Commander Locke in front of him could not hear it, but he heard it bit by bit.


    "The Zerich family, Carlos''s family, is also the master behind the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment." However, it was no longer a secret. Everyone was just tacit agreement.


    "Is it because of Carlos''s death?"


    Rex nodded: "Carlos''s father is the family head of the Zerich family, and at the same time, is also the emperor''s personal Duke. Carlos''s mother is a favored princess of the imperial family, and as their son, Carlos''s position in the Saint Laner Capital is only second to the prince or princess. His death is naturally a major event, not only does the Zerg family take him seriously, even the imperial family takes him seriously.


    Ge Yan felt like he was knocked unconscious.


    Although he knew that their identities were not ordinary, but as a murderer, could you not use such serious words that seemed as if their deaths had nothing to do with you? Even if he were to face the relatives of the people you killed later, he would still feel a little pressured.


    Ge Yan was completely convinced by Rex''s calmness. Even though he knew that this fellow was not human, he still underestimated him.


    "Do you think Carlos''s father will suspect us?" he whispered.


    "Yes." Rex answered without hesitation.


    It was impossible for the head of the family to believe with a few words that his son would die so easily. Doubts were certain, but they were only suspicions.


    Ge Yan felt as if his one word "breath" had been taken away, "Then what do we do?"


    Seemingly sensing his anxiety, Rex rarely comforted him, "Don''t worry, as long as you follow what we said before, I will make the other arrangements."


    Ge Yan stared at his face, as though he wanted to see if there were any problems from his expression, as if to prove that he was sure or not, but Rex''s facial paralysis was not something that could be seen through after training, and in the end, he could only believe him based on his past experiences. From the moment he met him, Rex seemed to have a plan for everything, and this time was probably not an exception.


    Half a day later, they finally saw the house of the family. It was a huge building that was as magnificent as a palace. The area it covered was over ten thousand mu, and it was astonishingly vast.


    The nearby streets were completely empty. This was because the northern side of Saint Laner Capital was where the Imperial Palace was located, and aristocratic families like Streak were also located in the north. The reason they couldn''t see the Imperial Palace was because the Saint Laner Capital was far too vast, and the area of only the northern side was several times larger than that of Sag City.


    As they were about to approach the family, griffins were not allowed to fly in the sky, so they landed at the closest place. After that, they had to ride a carriage, or else they would have to walk for another half a day.


    The Regiment Commander Locke sat in the same carriage as them, so Ge Yan did not dare to speak to Rex.


    Just as they were about to arrive, Regiment Commander Locke suddenly said, "After meeting Duke, remember not to speak carelessly."


    Ge Yan was stunned, facing the warning from Regiment Commander Locke, with a hint of sharpness, and a threatening tone, he suddenly understood, it seemed that this Regiment Commander Locke had not given up yet.


    He did not respond, nor did Rex, as if she did not hear his words.


    A trace of anger flashed past Regiment Commander Locke''s eyes. He wanted to say something, but seemed to have some scruples. In the end, his face darkened and he did not speak any further, until the carriage stopped.


    They arrived at their destination.


    The news of their return had already reached Duke''s ears. Standing at the door, Duke''s followers had arrogant expressions, as if they did not put them in their eyes. They indifferently swept over them, and only brought them in after asking about their identities.


    Once they entered, they would ride on the carriage, and after a while, they would stop. A follower brought them to a courtyard, told them to wait outside, and then went in to inform them that the Duke did not make them wait too long, as it concerned their son''s matters, how could they not pay attention to it? Very soon, a follower came out to tell them that the Duke had allowed them to enter.


    The three of them followed their follower to Duke''s study.


    Ge Yan finally saw the Duke of a king and prince whose statuses were only inferior to the Atherenka Empire. The figure of this Duke was extremely tall and mighty, and the imposing aura he gave off was enough to make the person standing in front of him lower his head in an instant.


    "Reporting to Patriarch, the person has been brought." The servant said respectfully.


    The Duke waved for him to get down, and waited until his followers left before looking at Regiment Commander Locke. The dark and gloomy anger that shrouded his eyes made Locke feel pressured, and he kneeled down on the ground.


    "Locke has disappointed your expectations. Please punish me."


    His attitude was very good, causing Ge Yan, who thought that he knew how to scheme and target them, to be surprised for a moment.


    Duke suddenly threw the book on the table at Regiment Commander Locke heavily, he did not conceal his anger, and turned around angrily: Locke, what I said to you when I first handed Carlos over to you, I told you to definitely protect his safety, how did you do it, to actually let him die such a miserable death in Tasha Forest, in vain did I trust you so much, you have disappointed me too much.


    "When Duke wishes to punish Locke, Locke has nothing to say. This matter was indeed a dereliction of duty on my part, but there are some things that I must say." Locke looked up at Christopher, his resolute expression and his upright back extremely magnanimous.


    Duke''s expression was unfathomable, the anger on his face had almost disappeared, as if the scene that happened just now was just an illusion, he said, "Seeing as you were doing your best in the past, I will give you a chance to explain."


    Regiment Commander Locke did not immediately say it. He hinted at Ge Yan and Rex to glance at each other.


    The duke tells them to wait outside, and the two of them close the door for a whispered conversation.


    Ge Yan followed Rex out of the study room, and the two of them stood in the hallway. Since they were only separated by a wall, he didn''t dare ask Rex as he was afraid of being overheard.


    Regiment Commander Locke had already changed from kneeling to standing, his face no longer had the fear from before as he looked at them complacently.


    This scene made Ge Yan''s heart sink, the little bitch Regiment Commander Locke must have said something that was not good for them, thinking of the trust Duke had for him, there seemed to be no need to guess who he would believe.
