Conflict at the Post Station

After Lin Chen joined the Skyfire Squad, they did not immediately choose to go outside the safe barrier. Instead, they rested for a few days until Wang Min's injuries had almost healed before taking a bus to the Snow Mountain Station.

After traversing a vast expanse of desolate forest outside the city and through numerous mountains, Lin Chen and his group finally arrived at the Snow Mountain Inn.

"Lin Chen, when we hunters go out to hunt demons, we usually stop at military post stations like this for supplies." After getting off the bus, Zhang Tian pointed to the snow mountain post station locked by a giant stone gate and introduced it to Lin Chen.

"And don't underestimate these small post stations. They may be small, but they are fully equipped. You can buy supplies for the wild here, and you can also sell the monsters we hunt to the merchants who harvest them here."

Lin Chen nodded.

After waiting for a while at the entrance of the inn, the gate of the Snow Mountain Inn opened with a rumbling sound, and Lin Chen and his group walked into the inn.

"Liu Lin, Liu Meng, Wang Min, and I are going to buy some things. You take Rou Rou and Lin Chen to look around here," Zhang Tian instructed.

"No problem!" Liu Lin nodded, waved to Lin Chen and Rou Rou, and turned to walk towards the shops on both sides of the post station.

"Sister Lin, this post station only has one main road, you can see the end of it at a glance, there's not much to see, right?" Lin Chen asked, following behind Liu Lin with some confusion.

"Hehe!" Rou Rou chuckled and explained to Lin Chen, "The captain doesn't really mean for us to wander around, but rather for us to find some hidden gems. Sometimes you can find some good things at the post station that no one else has discovered."

Lin Chen suddenly realized.

As Lin Chen strolled along the main path, he was immediately captivated by these things, which were the first time he had seen them in this world. Before he knew it, he had fallen behind Liu Lin and Rou Rou by several steps.

……

"Chen Ze, does that person look familiar?" A man pointed at Lin Chen at a stall and asked his companion.

"Bo City is only so big, and there are only so many mages who dare to go out and hunt demons. It's not normal for them to look familiar," Chen Ze said, pursing his lips, but still looked in the direction Zhang Qiang was pointing.

"Damn, isn't this the kid who robbed our Demon Wolf? Let's go tell the boss right away." Chen Ze stared at Lin Chen for a while, then turned and walked in another direction.

……

"Kid, you're all alone now, huh? You still recognize me, don't you?" A sinister voice suddenly came from behind Lin Chen, startling him.

Lin Chen immediately turned around and saw five people standing not far behind him, two of whom were the two men he had met after killing the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf.

"Of course I recognize them. Now that they've found a backer, aren't they planning to slink away?" Lin Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile. He didn't have a good impression of these two.

"I only let you off the hook because your friend was with me," Chen Ze said hastily, his face darkening.

"Kid, for the sake of your friend, I won't say I'm not giving you a chance. As long as you return the corpse of that demonic wolf to us at a discounted price and kowtow to me to apologize, I won't pursue the matter further," Chen Ze said, glancing at the man behind him and using his influence to intimidate him.

"What if I say no?" Lin Chen frowned, his face instantly turning ugly. Taking his things and then making him kneel down and apologize was outrageous.

"No?" The skinny man who was the leader of the five took two steps forward and said fiercely, "Kid, I advise you to agree. A mid-level mage friend can't protect you."

"You came to the Snow Mountain Inn because you wanted to go out and hunt demons, right? The wilderness is not like a safe barrier; it's too easy for someone to die silently." The thin man walked up to Lin Chen and whispered in his ear.

"What do you think you're doing, you lifelong bachelor?!" A furious shout rang out from behind Chen Ze and the others.

Immediately afterward, Liu Lin and Rou Rou bypassed Chen Ze and the others, came to Lin Chen's side, pushed the skinny man aside, and shielded Lin Chen behind them: "Gao Gu, you damn baboon, stay away from my brother, don't bully him. If you want trouble, come at me, and I'll beat you to death."

Lin Chen listened to Liu Lin's foul language and his face showed disbelief. He never expected that the handsome Liu Lin would be so fierce.

"Sister Rou, are you sure Sister Lin is an ice mage and not a fire mage?" Lin Chen couldn't help but complain, but he felt a warm feeling in his heart. It felt so good to be protected.

"You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it." Rou Rou blushed slightly and smiled awkwardly.

"He's one of yours? I don't remember having such a person in your Skyfire Squad?" Gao Gu's already dark face looked even uglier, after all, no one likes being scolded like that: "Don't make something out of nothing just to cause trouble for our Battle Axe Squad."

"This is a new member of our Skyfire Squad. You didn't expect this, did you? Even though your Battle Axe Squad threatened everyone in public not to join our team, we still managed to recruit someone." Liu Lin glanced at Gao Gu, her eyes full of disdain.

"Your Skyfire Squad calls itself an elite squad, so how come you're so arrogant now that you've recruited a low-level mage? Have you really fallen so low? I really disdain to associate with you."

At that moment, a voice came from outside the crowd. As the crowd parted, a tall man with bandages wrapped around his body, and blood seeping through the bandages, walked in.

"Chen Fu!" Liu Lin's eyes were full of fear.

"Kid, the Skyfire Squad can't protect you. What belongs to our Battle Axe Squad, you'd better hand it over." Chen Fu came up to Liu Lin, his gaze passing over Liu Lin and landing on Lin Chen.

"Hmph! We'll only know if it's safe after the fight!" Liu Lin took a step to the right, completely blocking Lin Chen behind her.

"Really?" Chen Fu scoffed. "Can your Skyfire Squad compare to our Battle Axe Squad?"

"Why can't we? If we couldn't, why didn't you kill that three-eyed demon wolf, but we did!"

With a loud shout, Zhang Tian arrived with Liu Meng and Wang Min.

With Zhang Tian's arrival, Chen Fu's imposing manner subsided somewhat. He glanced at the members of the Skyfire Squad and said, "Hand over this kid, and I won't pursue the matter of him stealing our monster."

Zhang Tian snorted coldly: "It's impossible for our Skyfire Squad to hand over our brothers. And let me tell you again, we killed those three-eyed demon wolves with our own skills, we didn't steal them."

"Skills?" Chen Fu scoffed, "What skills does your Skyfire Squad have!"

"At least you won't be wrapped up like a dumpling every time you go out," Liu Lin said sarcastically.

"you!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became extremely heavy.

Just as the fight was about to break out, a figure descended from the sky.

The newcomer was none other than Zhan Kong, the chief instructor of the Snow Mountain Station.

"I warmly welcome you to the Snow Mountain Inn to eliminate demons. If you want to cause trouble at the Snow Mountain Inn, go back to where you came from!" Zhan Kong said, glancing around at the surroundings.

"clear!"

"knew!"

Zhang Tian and Chen Fu responded respectively.

Zhan Kong nodded, glanced at Lin Chen, and said, "You're very good. I believe in you. Keep it up!"

After saying that, a pair of wind wings appeared behind Zhan Kong, and he left the place.

"This isn't over!"

Chen Fu spoke to Zhang Tian, ​​then glanced at Lin Chen with a serious expression, waved his hand, and turned to leave with his teammates.
