Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

There was a wonderful rhythm in the tone of Chi Yu's chanting of the prayer, and the feeling of thirst gradually left Jie Yu Chen with the words, and was replaced by a sense of fullness.

In this process which could be considered a blessing, Xie Yuchen was able to see the same pale skin exposed under Chi Yu's sleeves through his hand that was close to his.

——It was a skin color that was obviously unhealthy just by looking at it.

If we judge Chi Yu in this way, we can only come to the conclusion that "he is a civilian who neglects outdoor exercise", but it is obvious that the result of this judgment is ridiculously wrong.

Chi Yu is very good at downplaying the abnormalities in himself. If it weren't for the contact during this period, Xie Yuchen might have found it difficult to discover his other side and would have only regarded him as an ordinary partner.

Just like if Chi Yu chose not to use the spell on him, Xie Yuchen would never know that he also possessed such an ability that could quickly affect humans.

"How do you feel now?" Chi Yu withdrew his hand and asked Xie Yuchen.

"Much better." Xie Yuchen raised his eyes and watched Chi Yu put on gloves and cover his pale skin with black leather again. He firmly isolated the influence of sunlight on him.

Xie Yuchen's lips moved. He seemed to have something to say, but found it difficult to put it into words. In the end, he just pursed his lips, stood there and whispered "thank you".

Chi Yu's gaze was cast on the opened system interface. In response to Xie Yuchen's thanks, he said "hmm" and casually thought that given the complicated situation in the underground palace, Xie Yuchen might have to say thank you to him many more times in the future.

The outer Yadan landforms are a natural protective barrier here, and they have passed through these obstacles and are about to reach the center where the silver dragon surrounds and guards.

——It was a rock pillar also covered with white plaster mud. Only obvious signs of wind erosion could be seen on it, and nothing else.

Xie Yuchen and Chi Yu stood in front of the pale rock wall and looked up at the situation above for a while.

"Thousands of years have passed. Even if this place has been artificially modified, no useful information can be found now." Xie Yuchen said, sighing, "Terrible time, terrible nature."

"It would be really scary if you could still easily see something useful from it now." Chi Yu said as he walked to a sunken area in the sand.

This is the entrance shown by the system. There is no special mechanism here. It is simply completely covered by sand. If they want to enter, either Chi Yu will use the spell again, or they can only -

"Go dig." said Chi Yu.

"What?" Xie Yuchen didn't hear clearly. He shifted his attention from the surrounding environment and looked at Chi Yu again.

Chi Yu motioned him to look at the sand: "The entrance you are looking for is here, but it is buried."

"Under normal circumstances, the use of spells is also limited. I have already used it once to dispel your abnormal state just now." Chi Yu explained patiently, and handed Jie Yuchen a shovel, "So, dig."

This was the first time he took the initiative to bestow a blessing on others. The spell he had just cast casually had no time limit, so it drained away most of his stored energy.

Although this energy will soon recover over time, Chi Yu is not prepared to use the power of the spell at will before that.

As for this lucky guy who accidentally gained immunity to diseases for a long period of time, Chi Yu thought about it and felt that at least for now, he couldn't let this kid Xie Yuchen have it too easy.

——After all, the gift bestowed by fate has already been secretly marked with a price, and his blessing is not something that can be easily obtained.

Xie Yuchen was caught off guard when a shovel was stuffed into his hand. He stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, his expression a little confused and speechless: "Digging is no problem, but just me? What about you?"

"I'll help you keep an eye on the surrounding situation." Chi Yu said seriously.

The long-haired young man seemed very confident when he said this, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said to his employer.

Xie Yuchen still held the shovel handed to him by Chi Yu in his hand, but he was wondering whether he should listen to Chi Yu and dig the sand, or hit him in the face with the shovel.

But in the end, he neither dug the sand nor slapped the shovel on Chi Yu's face. He just sighed softly and asked Chi Yu, "I thought we were at least in a partnership now?"

Chi Yu didn't say anything, but just said "Hmm?" to show that she was listening to him.

So Xie Yuchen continued: "Since we are in a cooperative relationship, it is obvious that you should not let me do the excavation work here alone."

Chi Yu remained indifferent to Xie Yuchen's words, and even seemed a little unkind: "So?"

Well, it seems that this person has made up his mind to let him dig alone.

Xie Yuchen took a deep breath and thought that being dirty was one thing, as he had to dig the sand anyway. But if he was working hard and there was someone idle around him, it would definitely not be a pleasant experience.

Chi Yu has always liked to play such a not very likable role, and Xie Yuchen just can't do anything about him.

——Most people can be driven by him through money, but Chi Yu is also good at this and has enough determination for it.

So he really had to do it alone.

Xie Yuchen thought about it and walked silently to the sand pit where Chi Yu pointed.

"Here?" he asked.

Chi Yu nodded, so Xie Yuchen waved the shovel and began to dig down.

Seeing that every shovel of Xie Yuchen's shovel seemed to carry real resentment, Chi Yu raised a slight smile and walked lightly to Xie Yuchen's side.

Neither of them said a word.

One person is working hard to dig sand, the other is acting as an overseer, and everyone has found his own position.

As the cold and hard sand was being dug, it also took away some of Li Yuchen's physical strength, and the evil supervisor even found time to be distracted, thinking that there was no need to let two people do the work that could be done by one person.

——Anyway, this pit is not that difficult to dig. As long as we dredge the water downwards, a gap will soon appear. It’s not a big problem.

The only drawback was probably that even though Xie Yuchen himself tried to avoid it, his light-colored clothes still had obvious marks in the process.

Chi Yu looked at those marks, and thought that his own clothes were now made of ordinary materials. He couldn't attach dust-proof and waterproof spells on them like Logos himself.

However, the direct-sale items displayed in the system store were all priced unfairly - Chi Yu discovered this when he drew the white sand candy stick that was given to him as a gift from Lao Li during his first ten-draw.

Lao Li even stuffed a letter into the big bag of white sand candy, denouncing the system's unscrupulous behavior and saying that he didn't even get any share from it, which was really hateful.

Oh, I really hope that his next ten draws can draw Saori from the valley.

Amid the background sound of the frequent contact between the metal shovel and the sand, Chi Yu thought that he really needed it.
