Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chi Yu stood in the snow, wiping the knife in his hand. The snow under his feet was completely dyed red by the blood of his prey. If you look down from the air, it looks like flowers blooming in winter.

It had been several days since Chi Yu went deep into the snow-capped mountains. The system's prompt of "he is not welcome" at that time was more like the embodiment of some kind of rule than a simple description.

The space of the Stranger Map seems to be infinitely extended, with no end in sight. Enemies are encountered more frequently during exploration, and the energy that normally recovers automatically after using skills is also restricted in its recovery speed.

The "Lord of This Place", the core target of this battle, is still hidden in the gray area that has not been unlocked, as if expecting Chi Yu to struggle and die in this endless battle.

But ordinary enemies will not make Chi Yu spend much energy.

Even though he consciously reduced the use of spells after he discovered that there was a problem with his energy recovery, Chi Yu's combat methods were not limited.

Just because swords are hidden in their cases doesn't mean they are harmless.

When the sharp blade easily cuts through the throats of the beasts, all they can do is whimper and die.

The creatures that most often attack Chi Yu always appear at night. Their fur color blends perfectly into the environment and they look like big cats.

If it weren't for the fact that they attacked Chi Yu so many times and seemed impossible to kill them all, he would have thought they were snow leopards.

Chi Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the beast lying on the ground.

The white creature's body was completely motionless, and its hair was stained with its own blood. When the cold wind blew, even the remaining warmth disappeared, and the hair condensed together and froze hard.

In addition to this common enemy, there is another kind of creature in the snowy mountains. They have human-like characteristics and are not encountered as frequently as big cats, but are more troublesome to deal with than them.

As for where the trouble lies...

Chi Yu dodged the cold wind coming from behind, and where he was originally standing, a monster lying on a big cat appeared.

When the monster saw that its attack missed, it turned around, stared at Chi Yu, pulled its claws out of the big cat's body, and let out an indescribable scream.

The same cry echoed all around, and countless pairs of eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness, shining in the light of the moon.

These monsters have the habit of hunting in groups. They move swiftly and have extremely sharp claws.

Even though most of their attributes are within the scope of ordinary monsters, the leader who leads them to attack is actually a small boss.

It is impossible to solve them without paying any cost.

Chi Yu made a knife flower and pointed the blade at himself calmly. A blood-red barrier rose up, symbolizing the prelude to the attack.

The monsters were attracted by the blood that still carried a fresh scent, and surrounded the prey with some anxiety. However, the shrinking encirclement did not mean that the prey had no way to resist. Instead, it was like a sacrifice of itself.

There is more than just a knife in Chi Yu's weapon box, and he can use more than just knives.

A dart was thrown from the fingertips, passing through the air with a murderous look. Chi Yu looked coldly and avoided the attack from the leader monster with a few missteps, pointing the knife in his hand directly at its throat.

The blade collided with the monster's hard skin, making a clanging sound.

Chi Yu was not greedy for the sword. He broke away with one strike and decisively left the attack range of the leader monster. He threw another dart in the gap and killed the chasing monster.

Seeing that not only did he fail in the hunt, but he also lost two of his own kind in an instant, the leader of the monsters let out a distorted cry.

The shrinking encirclement suddenly stopped. The little monsters on the periphery stared at Chi Yu hungrily and stopped moving forward. However, the enemy's retreat would only provide Chi Yu with a better offensive environment.

Chi Yu twisted his waist to avoid the claw attack from the leader monster. He tapped his toes lightly and at the same time, weapons were unsheathed from the box. Two knives tied with thin wires flew into the encirclement of the monsters, splashing blood all over the ground.

In a flash, Chi Yu casually pulled the thin wire, as if he was playing with a simple toy, and the knife flew back like a piece of cake.

He grasped the knife that had turned back and chopped it at the pursuing leader monster. A deep scratch immediately appeared on its skin, and then a large amount of blood gushed out.

This may be seen as an injury for an injury in the eyes of the leader monster, but in reality it is not the case.

The blood-colored barrier rippled like water waves in this collision, absorbing all the attacks from the opponent, while the color only became slightly lighter.

Chi Yu listened to the leader monster's scream of pain, but his heart did not feel any fluctuations. He calmly calculated the time and the remaining blood volume of the Boss, and his light snake eyes narrowed slightly.

not enough.

However, he might have to encounter such monsters several times before the commission is completed. Before finding the "Lord of This Place", in order to ensure his own recovery, the skill [Risk Taking] should not be used too many times in the same battle.

Chi Yu's hand gently stroked the blade. The dark leather and light metal created a sharp contrast, and both emitted the same cold light under the moonlight.

A small amount of energy was precisely organized into a curse that brought damage to the enemy and entangled on the blade. Through Chi Yu's attack, they were transferred to the leader monster's body and penetrated deep into its bone marrow.

The health bar representing the leader monster was reduced by half by Chi Yu without him noticing. The fear of death made it make the wrong decision - escape.

The monsters scattered like birds and beasts at the command of their leader. Chi Yu looked at the scene in front of him and sighed softly.

A sufficient number of javelins appeared in his hands, turning into precise reapers, taking the lives of those ordinary monsters.

Now, there is only one object left to deal with.

The blood spread all over the snow. The leader monster fled very quickly, but Chi Yu was faster than it.

Chi Yu swung the knife in his hand, and the knife's power was so dazzling that even the moonlight had to temporarily avoid its edge.

The health bar of the last enemy suddenly dissipated in the void and turned into the system's combat settlement interface. Chi Yu raised his arm, wiped the blood stains on the long sword, and calmly put away the sword.

The monster's blood was all over the ground, and Chi Yu just stood in the snow. This was a scene that had been repeated countless times in the past few days.

There is only one difference.

Chi Yu raised his head and looked at the young man in Tibetan robe who appeared here for some unknown reason.

The young man was standing not far from him, looking at him calmly. Even though he had just witnessed a bloody show, he did not show any surprise.

Generally speaking, Chi Yu is very good at judging people. No matter who it is, he can guess the other person's character almost accurately after just one meeting.

This time should be no different.

But what disturbed Chi Yu's thoughts was the strange and strong sense of intimacy that surged in his heart as he began to look at the other person.

Different from the ambiguous feeling he had when facing the Zhang brothers and sisters before, this strong emotion made Chi Yu alert.

...something's wrong.

Chi Yu's hand touched the weapon box again.

The young man seemed to be in the same situation. He looked at Chi Yu's posture and made a more relaxed gesture, indicating that he had no hostility.

However, even so, there are not many flaws in his body. Even if Chi Yu chooses to attack suddenly, the opponent can react at any time.

——Although Chi Yu didn’t think there was anyone in this world who could survive three rounds at his hands.

Chi Yu thought calmly.

This person will have an impact on him and is an unstable factor, but he does not harbor any ill intentions, so there is no need to create trouble at this time.

So just mark it for now and stay tuned.

Chi Yu put down his hand and the young man nodded slightly to him.

They didn't say anything to each other, but tacitly chose to leave in different directions.

Chi Yu walked quickly and decisively, and soon disappeared in the wind and snow.

The young man turned around in the heavy snow.

He looked in the direction where Chi Yu left, with a thoughtful expression.
