The Black Bear County Magistrate and the Golden Hair Constable were talking to each other via telepathy, leaving Chen Lin out in the cold.
Chen Lin was speechless, but did not show any displeasure. Instead, he became more alert.
After the two finished chatting, he immediately said goodbye: "Since the two adults are busy, I will not disturb you. I will visit you again after I finish my business in your county!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
These two guys actually conspired in front of him, which might be harmful to him. He could not stay here any longer.
However, before he could take a step, he heard a loud noise coming from the city gate, followed by a rumbling and chaotic sound of horse hooves, shaking the ground of the county government office.
The golden-haired constable's face turned pale and he said angrily, "Oh no! It's Zhu Sankui's Black Bull Army that's attacking us!"
Chen Lin didn't know what the Black Bull Army was, nor who Zhu Sankui was, but when he saw that the Golden Haired Constable and the Black Bear County Magistrate were both in a panic, he knew that the one who came must be the monster from Taiqing Mountain.
This made his face change and he immediately walked out of the county government office.
“It’s too late!”
The Black Bear County Magistrate calmed down and spoke in a deep voice.
Then he added, "The black bull mount is incredibly fast, coming and going like the wind. Moreover, the enemy is coming with great momentum this time, and they must be attacking the county government. If we go out now, we will be attacked by them. Brother Chen, it is better for you to fight side by side with the two of us and repel the powerful enemy!"
Chen Lin's face turned black, but he still stopped.
Because in his perception, a team of dozens of people had arrived outside the county government office and surrounded the entire county government office. If they went out, they would definitely have to face the monster directly.
He immediately took out his rusty knife and prepared to fight, but he still said in a deep voice: "They are attacking your county government, not me. We can't fight side by side. Please gather your men quickly, sir, and don't place too much hope on me."
We still need to make things clear.
It's not that he is still afraid of fighting, but to prevent himself from being assigned a mission without any reason. Without a mission, he can fight when he wants and leave when he wants. But once he has a mission, it will be hard to say.
The Black Bear County Magistrate gave a bitter smile and said, "Brother Chen, haven't you figured it out yet? All the capable fighters in this county have died in the battle. There are only two people left in the county government: me and Captain Jin. And those powerless women in the backyard, so don't expect any reinforcements."
Then he continued, "Zhu Sankui is a demon king who kills without blinking an eye. He will not let anyone go. Don't have any illusions. As long as you help me kill Zhu Sankui, all the previous promises will be valid, and you will be allowed to choose your own territory at will, and you will not be controlled by this county!"
After saying that, he took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote down the contents. Then he stamped the official seal on it and threw it to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, but still took it.
After a quick glance, he found that it was actually a contract document for a task. The terms agreed upon were the same as what the other party had said, and there were no restrictions on him, nor any words like there would be punishment for failure to complete the task.
At this moment, there was another loud noise, and the gate of the county government office was broken into five holes and became shaky.
"Brother Chen, this is a temporary request for help. It has my official seal on it and is protected by the Magic Law. It is impossible for me to regret it. At this point, you have no way out. Use whatever means you have."
The Black Bear County Magistrate spoke in a hurried voice, and it was obvious that he was very afraid of Zhu Sankui, so the conditions were so lenient, and it was also the maximum authority he could exercise.
Chen Lin's eyes flickered, and then he put away the contract document and said with a determined look: "Okay, since the county lord needs my little fighting power, then I will sacrifice my life to assist the county lord in strangling the bandits, and I will accept even if the princess scolds me for this!"
After making all the preparations, he summoned Hua Ruyu with a thought.
Hua Ruyu was not wearing a special robe at the moment. After absorbing a large amount of magic crystals, her two small horns were particularly black and shiny. She had a pair of snow-white wings, and the three-colored petals between her eyebrows were slowly turning, giving people a kind of weird beauty with great visual impact.
The Black Bear County Magistrate and the Golden Haired Constable looked at each other with surprise and joy. This time, Hua Ruyu was much stronger than the last time they saw her.
"Brother, this woman is really strange. She is a combination of god and devil, and she also has the aura of the devil. Will using them to deal with Zhu Sankui lead to a wolf entering the house?"
The golden-haired detective took advantage of the conversation between Chen Lin and Hua Ruyu to convey his concern.
The Black Bear County Magistrate immediately replied in a deep voice: "I can't care about that. If this county is taken away by Zhu Sankui, the two of us will be transformed into demons in no time without the protection of our official positions. Let's focus on the present first. Besides, the other party doesn't have the appointment documents, so no matter how powerful he is, he can't do anything to us. In the demon world, everything must be done according to the rules!"
The golden-haired detective did not ask any more questions, nor did he have the time to ask any more questions.
The loud noise occurred again. The gate of the county government office had been blown to pieces. A burly man with a pig's mouth and fangs, holding a five-toothed rake that was shining with cold light, rushed in riding a giant black bull.
There were more than twenty riders following behind him.
The sound of hooves rumbles and the momentum is like a rainbow.
"Hahaha, Xiong Ziqi, Jin Zhenshan, you two cowards think you can get away with hiding in the county government office. I have the appointment documents. I can be the county magistrate as well as you can. Even if I execute you in the county government office, it won't violate the rules!"
The men and horses ran up to the few people, and the leader looked at the Black Bear County Magistrate and laughed.
Chen Lin looked at the other party who was looking down on him with an arrogant attitude, and his face couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
This person must be Zhu Sankui.
Its aura is really powerful, and its appearance is really ugly. Even its pig mouth and fangs are somewhat beautiful. It is simply a pig monster with a cracked face. Its hideous face can stop children from crying at night if it is placed anywhere.
The men behind him were all majestic and their murderous aura was tangible. Their eyes were as big as copper bells, as if they were ready to choose someone to devour.
The people that Chen Lin feared the most were the two people around Zhu Sankui.
One is dark and strong, the other is fair and beardless. Both of them have undergone some degree of abnormalities. The energy fluctuations on their bodies are subtle yet surging. It is obvious at first glance that they are not to be trifled with.
The other side had strong soldiers and horses and came with great momentum, while they only had four people on their side, and the golden-haired captain was injured, so the difference in strength was immediately apparent.
"What do you think our chances are?"
Taking advantage of the confrontation between the two sides, Chen Lin immediately sent a message to Hua Ruyu.
He was not a subordinate of Magistrate Black Bear. He was just unlucky to be dragged into the fight between the two sides. There was no distinction between camps, let alone loyalty. He would take action when there was profit to be made, and would watch or run away when there was no profit to be made.
It doesn't matter to him who is the county magistrate.
If Zhu Sankui could offer a higher reward, he could even kill the two Black Bear County Magistrates. These two men were arrogant at first but servile later, and they conspired in front of him, but they didn't have any good ideas.
Moreover, Chen Lin also discovered that the mutated people like Black Bear County Magistrate and Zhu Sankui did not have any aura of the demonic world, and were very likely outsiders like him.
This made him even more alert. The strength of an outsider who could reach the level of county magistrate was beyond doubt.
"Master, don't worry. These people are probably outsiders who are suppressed by the rules of the demon world. As long as we act within the rules, they are nothing to worry about."
Hua Ruyu's confident voice rang out.
Chen Lin suddenly felt relieved. His servant's strength had increased dramatically recently, and his confidence also increased accordingly. He was not so confident when he came in last time.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to deal with these bandits on his own.
Moreover, he not only has to deal with Zhu Sankui and others, but also has to be wary of the Black Bear County Magistrate. The other party and the Golden Haired Captain are sneaky and cannot be trusted completely.
The two of them just exchanged a few words when the confrontation over there ended.
Zhu Sankui waved his five-toothed rake and shouted, "Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
As the other party's voice rang out, Chen Lin and Hua Ruyu immediately retreated, and flew into the air, looking down at the other party from the airborne barrier.
If the battle took place in the outside world, he would definitely strike first, or even launch a sneak attack long ago, but he still had to be careful in the demon world. He was not worried about anything else but breaking any rules.
"kill!"
The Black Bear County Magistrate also shouted angrily, and a large black spear appeared in his hand. His body swelled up, and he fought with Zhu Sankui with determination.
You and I exchanged moves, and three moves were completed in a flash.
Although there were no fancy magical lights, Chen Lin could feel that every attack from the two was extraordinary. If he didn't rely on treasures, he might not be their match.
The golden-haired captain followed closely behind, and took out a large ring knife to block the black-towered man who was rushing towards him.
The two of them fought evenly.
But Zhu Sankui's party did not want to fight alone. The white-faced, beardless man who looked like a scholar urged the black bull under his crotch and rushed up first.
"Mr. Chen, what are you waiting for!"
Seeing this, the golden-haired detective became anxious and let out a roar.
Hearing his words, Zhu Sankui's eyes flashed, and he immediately said: "Aren't these two friends from the county government? Why bother getting involved in this mess? You can just stand aside and watch. When I sit on the county lord's throne, I will double all the benefits Xiong Ziqi promised you!"
"He's farting!"
Xiong Ziqi immediately said anxiously: "The county magistrate does not have such great authority. Brother Chen, don't listen to him. He is trying to divide us again. Once the two of us die, it will be your turn next!"
"Hahaha, just because you don't have the authority doesn't mean I don't have it, Brother Chen, right? Don't worry, I, Zhu Sankui, will do what I say and will never break my promise!"
Zhu Sankui laughed loudly, and while the Black Bear County Magistrate was distracted, he smashed down with a rake, creating ripples in space.
The Black Bear County Magistrate was unable to dodge and could only move his head to avoid the fatal wound, but a large piece of flesh was torn off his shoulder by a tooth.
“Brother!”
The golden-haired captain cried out in grief and was about to go over to help, but then the black tower man's mace came over. He hastily blocked it with his knife, but his injuries flared up and he couldn't use his full strength, and the large ring knife was smashed away.
In an instant, the Black Bear County Magistrate and his companion showed signs of defeat and were in imminent danger.
