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.
