Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Zhang Qiling sighed softly.

Three short sleeps restored his physical strength to its peak state, but if the two of them continued to be deadlocked here, it would delay their journey.

In Zhang Qiling's opinion, Chi Yu is a very strange member of the tribe.

Although the other party's identity is still in doubt, and he never takes the initiative to explain his origins, the blood connection cannot be deceived.

If we look at this relationship alone, the two of them can at least be considered close.

But Chi Yu seemed to be quite resistant to this.

I don’t know whether it was out of knowledge or ignorance.

Zhang Qiling's soft sigh earned a slight glance from Chi Yu. Chi Yu shrunk the window on the system interface, turned it aside, and raised an eyebrow at Zhang Qiling without saying a word.

"Can I see your hand?"

Zhang Qiling looked at Chi Yu's slightly stunned expression, stretched out his hand to him, and added: "Right hand."

What's so good about his hands?

Chi Yu's gaze lingered on Zhang Qiling's hand for a moment. The man's skin was very white, and there were obvious calluses all over his hands. He looked like someone who was used to wielding a knife.

But this is not the most important thing.

Zhang Qiling's index finger and middle finger, which were longer than those of ordinary people, made Chi Yu squint his eyes, and his fingers couldn't help but curl up.

...Could this guy think he is a member of the Zhang family?

Alas.

Although blood resonance can indeed give people this illusion, it does not mean that Chi Yu is willing to be treated as a member of the family and implicated inexplicably.

——Especially when this family, which existed in name only, could not bring him any benefits.

Moreover, unless a person's characteristics are deliberately hidden, they will be obvious to an observant person.

They have been together for so many days and have already had a clear concept of each other's existence. Zhang Qiling should be very clear about whether Chi Yu has the Fa Qiu Finger.

However, now, Zhang Qiling suddenly asked to see his hand. Rather than believing that the other party had a sudden idea and was ready to confirm the characteristics of Chi Yu's hands, he would rather believe that this was a test.

If Chi Yu pretended to be clueless and extended his hand, perhaps he could go along with it and acknowledge this relationship.

But it would be a shame to do this just for a secret you don't know.

Thinking of this, Chi Yu let out a "tsk".

So what’s wrong with everyone in the Zhang family? They’re all like this.

He did not extend his hand, but changed to a more comfortable sitting position, "I am not a member of the Zhang family, my last name is Chi, the Chi of pool water, Chi Yu."

Zhang Qiling took his hand back, his face calm: "Surnames don't explain the problem."

"I'm not trying to prove anything to you." Chi Yu said, "Our bloodlines are not from the same source, and I don't want to have anything to do with you, please."

Zhang Qiling nodded and crawled out of the snow cave.

Chi Yu watched him leave, stood up from the ground, picked up his coat, patted the snow stains on it, and walked out slowly.

It was already dark outside, and the bright starry sky hung in the sky. Although not as dazzling as the sun, it could guide travelers.

Zhang Qiling's figure appeared on the snow slope not far away, and he walked all the way down. His target seemed to be somewhere under the valley, but his pace was not fast and he was always within Chi Yu's sight.

It was not until Zhang Qiling's figure almost turned into a dark dot that he turned around, waved at Chi Yu, and gestured for him to come over quickly.

"There is a shortcut here." Zhang Qiling said, "It's a one-way street. No matter where you find it, it will only lead to one destination."

So no matter how the terrain changes here, this shortcut can point them to the right path.

Chi Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the stone bridge buried in the snow.

The dark rocks are the most common things in the Himalayas besides snow. They are part of nature but have no life.

Even if it is artificially shaped into another appearance, it is only to increase the convenience of travel, not to pose a threat to anyone.

So when the snow covers them all, the Stranger Map will not give any special reminders.

And when the snow is cleared, the new route will be updated and flash on the map of Stranger Region.

This bridge created by human power seemed to be the only exception here. Chi Yu and Zhang Qiling walked along this road, allowing the surrounding blocks to change, but they could do nothing about it.

It was not until they passed a mountain pass three days later that the view became wide and bright. Chi Yu saw a large amber lake, embedded in the snowfield.

It shines like a gem.
