Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

The explosion came swiftly and violently. Apart from the option of the Peng bird to perish along with the enemy, there was also the natural explosion in this area. However, for Chi Yu, this was not a fatal situation.

Debris fell from great heights, covering everything with dust.

The barrier created by the previous skill was about to run out of effectiveness as time went by, and the dark blue cursed power emerged from Chi Yu's body.

The golden spell was written quickly, and an invisible force field rose quietly in the space, wrapping around the owner of the spell power and firmly keeping the heat wave out.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment.

In the cave filled with flames, this was the only energy restricted area that even the laws of nature were powerless to change. Chi Yu stood there, becoming the absolute controller of the area.

But the horizon of difference will always end, and the energy storm shows no signs of stopping.

Chi Yu's deep blue snake pupils reflected the flickering fire not far away. In the center of the storm, where the corpse of the Peng bird was, a glass-like gem was hanging there quietly.

[Heart of the Peng Bird: The past cannot be told, and the future cannot be discerned. The blessing of this place is also a curse. Pick it up, and perhaps you can put an end to it all.]

A strange appetite and desire suddenly entangled in his heart. Chi Yu frowned, dismissed the thought, calculated the consumption of his spell power in his mind, and thought about what to do next.

Although the extended visual threshold can perfectly restrain the negative environmental effects brought about by the explosion, it consumes too much magical power and cannot be used as a long-term solution when energy cannot be restored naturally.

If he removed his defense, he might be roasted in the next second.

Although death is not scary for Chi Yu, it is ultimately a helpless choice due to his own situation. He can die, but he will never sit and wait for death.

The dark blue domain shrank in scope under Chi Yu's control. It separated the heat flow in accordance with its master's wishes, allowing Chi Yu to get closer to the center of the storm.

The strong wind pressure was like a knife, clamoring to strangle the invader completely.

But they were never able to get past the protection of the spell, and ultimately had to allow Chi Yu to easily pick the heart of the Roc from the center of the storm.

Then the mountains stopped shaking, and the strong winds rested.

The heat current swept up into the sky with the smell of blood, and then returned with the cold wind of the glacier.

The glass-like heart was beating in Chi Yu's hand, as if conveying some secret message to him.

The blood erosion rate, which had been stable for a long time, now reached an extremely dangerous peak.

Horn feathers grow in the hair, scales cover the back of the neck from behind the ears, and new limbs emerge from under the clothes...

The human side was infinitely suppressed by the inhuman part at this moment. Chi Yu slowly lowered his head, and the silky crow feathers framed his eyebrows.

It was quiet here and no one would disturb his sleep.

Chi Yu had a dream.

The dream is starry, long and grand.

-

Zhang Qiling pulled the knife out from the rock wall.

This wasn't the only thing that fell next to him when the explosion occurred, but it was the only thing that belonged to Chi Yu.

There were quite a few scratches caused by the chaos, so much so that there were many small wounds on his body that were bleeding, causing a subtle feeling of dizziness.

The mountain collapsed severely. Judging from the severity of the explosion, it was impossible for any living creature to survive in such a situation. Given Chi Yu's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to know this.

But why did Chi Yu choose to give him the chance to survive at that moment?

Zhang Qiling didn’t know.

Chi Yu has always been resistant to blood connections. He regards this relationship as a disaster, and sometimes even chooses to deliberately go against it.

Zhang Qiling was already used to this feeling, but he understood Chi Yu's desire to refuse others to get close to him when he was alone, so he chose to be tolerant.

They can be temporary partners on the road and go their separate ways after achieving their goals, just like Zhang Qiling has always done. They don't need to be friends or need company.

They are familiar strangers, so there is no need to share any happiness or pain.

That's enough.

Therefore, when Chi Yu acted as if to protect him, Zhang Qiling was actually a little confused at that moment.

What was he thinking when he watched Chi Yu's figure disappear behind the stone?

Zhang Qiling raised the knife in his hand, watched it spin, and hit the rock hard. He thought, he should take Chi Yu away from the mountain.

Chi Yu's final destination should not be here.

In this situation, the precious sword that could cut through iron like mud could only become a tool to pry open rocks. Zhang Qiling dug in the mountains for three days.

The knocking sounds echoed in the mountains with a strange but pleasant rhythm, but the person making the sound had no intention of appreciating it and just kept digging.

Until the blocked tunnel was finally cleared to create a small opening, Zhang Qiling stopped moving, and his bones made a dense noise as he crawled through the hole.

The once peaceful nest is now a mess.

The broken pieces of the Peng bird's flesh piled up like a small hill. Even though this mythical creature had long been dead, its corpse seemed to still be alive, maintaining a strange activity.

Chi Yu was lying in the flesh and blood. The flesh and blood wrapped around Chi Yu like an unborn baby, beating rhythmically.

Light poured down from the broken ceiling, casting a layer of soft blood-red light on Chi Yu.

It looked bloody and peaceful.

Zhang Qiling limped to Chi Yu's side and looked down at him.

Chi Yu's face was mostly covered by pitch-black wings, with soft horn feathers and hard scales appearing on his body at the same time.

The blood congealed on his face, like some beautiful dying creature, with a shocking sense of brokenness.

Zhang Qiling has experienced too many deaths and separations, both strange and ordinary, but he always tries his best to prevent them from happening to those people.

It's the same this time.

Zhang Qiling was half-kneeling on the ground, his hand hesitated in the air, reached forward, but stopped at a faint sound.

The horn feathers that were originally folded stretched out, and under the wings, the deep blue snake eyes were staring at him.

The flesh and blood that seemed to be breathing just now dissolved in an instant, leaving only this young man who was as transparent, pale and beautiful as a corpse.

"Our cooperation has ended. Why did you come back?"

Zhang Qiling took a deep breath and said, "I'll return the knife."

Chi Yu said lightly: "I give it to you."

Zhang Qiling's lips moved. He wanted to say something else, but he found that Chi Yu closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a longer dream.

"Chi Yu?"

no respond.

Zhang Qiling put away his knife and carried Chi Yu on his back.

Chi Yu was very light, his blood was still warm, but his body was terribly cold. If he was not still breathing, he would hardly look alive, and more like a pure white statue made for God.

Zhang Qiling turned his head, looked at the person sleeping on his shoulder, and sighed.

He didn't know what price Chi Yu paid to save his life in the explosion, and he didn't want to find out.

What he has to do now is to put his original promise into action.

The cliff was very high, but climbing it was not difficult compared to digging through a collapsed cave. Zhang Qiling tied everything together and let out a sigh of relief.

"I'll take you away."
