Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

The temperature in the cave is higher than that outside. The wind and snow are blocked outside by the rock walls. The air flows through the narrow gaps, bringing with it a scorching breath that is picked up from nowhere.

Chi Yu and Zhang Qiling walked in a passage that had not been modified by any human beings. Zhang Qiling held their only light source in his hand to dispel the darkness in the cave.

The route here is not complicated, it can even be said to be very simple.

——Natural caves are nothing more than cracks that appear accidentally in the mountain.

This gap extends all the way to the outside world. They just need to follow this road and walk to the end. This is what is shown on the Moyu map.

However, since Zhang Qiling insisted on acting with him, there was one thing they needed to resolve before meeting the Boss.

Chi Yu thought about it, put his hand on the weapon box, and tapped the wooden surface lightly with his fingers, making a regular rhythm.

Zhang Qiling stopped and looked back at Chi Yu. Chi Yu's weapon box had been opened and the exquisite weapons were presented in front of him one by one.

Although dozens of knives are of different sizes, their auras complement each other and they form a set. The sharpness emanating from the flashing flames shows that they are all excellent knives that can cut through iron like mud.

"Pick one." Chi Yu said, "I'll lend it to you temporarily."

No matter how good your skills are, your combat power will be different when you are unarmed and when you are armed.

Although there are special cases where people are born unable to use weapons, Zhang Qiling is obviously not one of them. He is good at using a knife, but sometimes he chooses not to use it.

After Zhang Qiling tried all the knives in the box and selected the most convenient one, Chi Yu closed the weapon box and continued to move forward with him.

The roc is sleeping in the deepest part of the mountain. It regards this place as its nest and has transformed the environment into one that is most suitable for survival.

Temperature is the most obvious change.

As they went deeper, the temperature inside the cave gradually rose. The Tibetan robes, which could originally bring warmth to people in the snow, now had the opposite effect.

Zhang Qiling wiped the sweat off his forehead, half-took off his outer robe, tied it tightly around his body, and rolled up the sleeves. A large dark-blue mark appeared on his left arm, like an ink painting, but it was not very clear because of the obstruction of the clothes.

Chi Yu took a glance and quickly looked away, wondering what was wrong with the people in this world. It seemed that anyone with a special bloodline could not do without tattoos.

But he didn't seem to be in much better condition. The scales behind his ears were not even easier to cover up than tattoos.

Annoying.

Chi Yu curled his lips and counted the sins of the system on this silent road forward. He found that it and its broken company were indeed unforgivable.

——But the Stranger Territory map is really useful, which is forgivable.

Chi Yu and Zhang Qiling stopped at the end of the tunnel. The huge creature was sleeping in its nest, and the rhythm of its breathing was vaguely in sync with the mountains.

A beam of sunlight shone in from the hole above and gathered on the body of the Peng Bird, as if covering it with a layer of gauze. Fine snow fell slowly into it, and was quickly melted into water droplets by the heat wave, and then evaporated as it fell.

It was so quiet and silent here, as if even nature was fascinated by this mythical creature and didn't want to disturb its sleep.

Unfortunately, all this is destined to end today, Chi Yu thought carelessly.

When it comes to the task, beauty or ugliness is not important to Chi Yu. He will not be moved by the beauty of things.

But to say that he treats everything in this world equally is not entirely correct. At least, Chi Yu cannot tolerate ugly things.

Therefore, the way he treats things, whether good or bad, is actually completely in accordance with his own wishes.

Zhang Qiling quickly assessed the danger of this creature in the silence. He turned his head and looked at Chi Yu. He didn't say anything, but the meaning in his eyes was very clear: "Are you sure you want to kill it?"

"As the 'Lord of this Place', it has blocked the snow mountain. If we don't kill it..." Chi Yu thought for a moment, "Both you and I will eventually be trapped and die here."

After all, his life span is not infinite. If he wastes hundreds of years here doing nothing, he will definitely be exiled.

But this was just a casual remark. After all, Chi Yu was not stupid. Even if he died before his effective lifespan expired, he could be resurrected quickly. Even if he encountered a difficult mission target, it was not impossible to solve it.

It's just to give Zhang Qiling an excuse to get away with it.

After all, smart people always like to think too much, and giving your motives early can also prevent the other person from making wild guesses in his mind.

Zhang Qiling nodded, he stuck the torch into the cliff, and held the knife: "It's too big, be careful."

The two men held knives and stared at the Peng bird fiercely. The Peng bird seemed to sense that its life was about to be in danger, and it spontaneously woke up from its sleep and slowly opened its eyes.

The roc shook its feathers and tilted its head to look at the two uninvited enemies.

There was a natural sense of cruelty in the changes in the beast's eyes. It seemed to have confirmed something in the process, and its figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

A scorching breath came with murderous intent, and a hint of blood was mixed in the dust, heading straight for Chi Yu's face.

Chi Yu waved away the sharp scales and feathers that were attacking him, and sent out a flash of knife light with his backhand, using the force to turn his body to another place.

After him, another figure quickly filled Chi Yu's vacancy and launched an attack on the big Peng bird with its door wide open behind it.

The clanging sound caused by the collision between the two continued to echo in the mountain. The blood bar belonging to the big bird suddenly rose and appeared in Chi Yu's field of vision.

At the same time, a special reminder from the system made Chi Yu sneer.

[Deadly Hatred (activated): Since you killed the Peacock, all the descendants of the Phoenix will regard you as their mortal enemy. The hatred engraved in the blood may only end when one side is completely destroyed. ]

For Chi Yu, "hate" inherently carries a very special meaning.

When you choose to hate someone, then from that moment on, that person becomes a special existence, connecting two individuals who originally had nothing to do with each other.

Therefore, Chi Yu will not hate, nor will he care about other people's one-sided hatred. He will only cut off this connection and erase this relationship.

——Completely.

Chi Yu turned the knife in his hand and easily cut through his own flesh.

A large amount of blood suddenly gushed out of the body, and the lingering smell of blood lingered and filled the cave in the mountains.

They transformed into an equally bright blood-red barrier that rose up around Chi Yu, but not everyone could notice this scene.

All Zhang Qiling could see was the harm Chi Yu caused to himself.
