Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

This was the fourth time Chi Yu met the young man in the snow.

It was obvious that before this, every time the two separated, they chose not to disturb each other and went in opposite directions. Even the display on the Moyu map showed that the avatar representing each other did appear in a direction away from Chi Yu.

——But they still saw each other again, more than once.

Chi Yu looked at the young man expressionlessly, and the young man looked at him with the same expression.

In an unsafe environment, every variable needs to be vigilant, whether it is a wild beast that can attack at any time or a person who seems to have no emotional inclination.

What's more, the mere existence of this person will have an impact on him.

Even if this inexplicable feeling of intimacy could be restrained, Chi Yu was not going to tolerate it any longer.

There was an indescribable emotion gradually spreading in the air. Snow foam stuck to the young man's face, and even his eyebrows looked pale.

In this world where only the wind and snow howled, the young man wiped his face, looked at Chi Yu, and said, "The terrain here is different from before."

Chi Yu tilted his head slightly, without any expression, and waited patiently for the other party's next words.

He knew very well what the young people's words meant.

The terrain changes prompted by the system are not a secret belonging to Chi Yu alone, but a fact that everyone can perceive.

People outside the mountain can only see the collapsed road, but the young man should have gone deep into the snow mountain before this change occurred, so he can realize more clearly how big the changes here are.

In this already dangerous snow-capped mountain hinterland, the road ahead becomes unfamiliar, the surrounding environment becomes even more dangerous, and monsters from the snow-capped mountains are lurking around.

Although they will never know where the strange changes in the snow mountain came from, any smart person should choose to leave before things get worse.

Instead of continuing to wander around here.

unless……

He couldn't leave.

The young man was indeed like this. His eyes were calm, and he didn't seem to be bothered by the current predicament. He was just simply explaining a conclusion to Chi Yu: "The route outside keeps changing, and we can't get out."

The guess in his mind became a reality. Chi Yu lowered his eyes and clicked on the map of Moyu, dragging it to the edge.

On the white area connected to the camp, the silk thread representing the road was blocked at some point. Not only that, the outer areas also kept showing [Terrain Changing].

No wonder this person couldn't get out and kept running into him, Chi Yu thought.

According to the information provided by the system, Chi Yu is now unable to return to the camp to rest via the original route. He can only leave after he completes his task.

If this kind of news happened to ordinary people, it might make them feel anxious, but for Chi Yu, there was no need to take it to heart.

Chi Yu knows what he can do, so whatever he wants to achieve will definitely succeed.

But before that, the young man would probably have to continue wandering in the snowy mountains for a while.

I don’t know if his supplies can last until Chi Yu completes the commission.

What bad luck, haha.

Chi Yu figured out the key, but he had no intention of taking the responsibility for the other party's inability to leave on himself. After getting the explanation he wanted, he turned around and left like he did the previous times.

But the young man was also observing Chi Yu while he was speaking. He also had a thorough perspective on things and came to a conclusion: "You know how to get out."

The young man expressed his demands bluntly.

Just like the young man chose to solve Chi Yu's doubts when they met again before, he thought that Chi Yu should also solve his doubts now.

This could be seen as an equal exchange, but if Chi Yu answered this question, it would raise another question, and then those questions would all pile up together and become a trouble.

So you can answer, but it doesn’t have to be true.

Chi Yu stopped, turned around and looked at the young man: "I don't know."

The young man looked at him steadily and repeated: "You know."

The wind in the mountains gradually died down, and the snow stopped falling randomly. The young man looked at Chi Yu in silence, and did not back down - he was always like this, and would not change his mind once he made up his mind.

Making assumptions around the question of "knowing" or "not knowing" is just a waste of time, so the young man simply skips this step.

"Waiting won't solve any problems. I need to get out. If it's difficult to meet the conditions, I will help you." The young man said, "You just need to tell me the method."

The method is very simple, just deal with the "Lord of This Place", but there are too many blocks generated on the map this time, and he is not sure where his target is yet.

Chi Yu thought casually.

Judging from the fact that he was able to survive on his own in the snow, the young man had good skills, and he was confident that he could handle the difficulties on his own, so he offered to help.

But Chi Yu has no intention of adding a new member to his team for the time being. Here, the increase in the number of people will not only fail to effectively improve the efficiency of problem solving, but will also slow down his actions.

However, if the young man knew the news of the "Lord of This Place", it would save Chi Yu from having to open the map everywhere to look for the target. It is not impossible for him to be more tolerant of him because of the time saved.

But will he know?

"I'm looking for a creature that is the cause of the changes in the snow mountain. I don't know what it is, nor do I know its characteristics. The information I got only calls it the 'Lord of this Place'."

Chi Yu looked at the young man and asked, "You know this area. Can you think of what this information is?"

This time it was the young man's turn to remain silent.

He lowered his eyes and thought about the information given by Chi Yu. He was silent for a while, and then raised his head again under Chi Yu's gaze: "I don't know."

Chi Yu:.

He didn't even know what he was looking forward to just now.

Chi Yu looked at the young man and saw that he didn't seem to be pretending. He gave him an emotionless smile, nodded at him, and left without hesitation.

waste time!

The young man stood still and said calmly, "But I know where the most turbulent places in the snowy mountains are."

Chi Yu immediately turned his toes back.
