Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Although the house was warm, he felt a little bored after staying there for a long time. Seeing Zhang Qiling drink the medicine, Chi Yu opened the door and walked outside.

The pure white snowfield occupied this land and became the only scenery here. The river valley was completely frozen. In the thick snow, only the tops of a few Tibetan-style buildings could be seen.

Chi Yu looked back at the house he was in. This house built with white stones was located at a higher level than the snowfield, thus avoiding the fate of being completely buried.

The scene in the dream flashed before his eyes. Chi Yu remembered that this place used to be a valley full of greenery.

The hollows under the snowfield were farmlands, and streams once flowed through the cracks. More white houses stood there, where the Kangba people once lived.

Everything ended with the collapse of the snow mountain.

The heart of the roc seemed to resonate with the environment here, flashing in the system backpack.

Chi Yu opened the system interface, stared at the glazed gem for a while, and took it out.

Chi Yu received all the information that this heart had ever recorded. Its ability to pull people into dreams was unable to bypass the protective net woven by the banshee and produce any effect without Chi Yu's rejection.

However, compared to that insignificant dream, Chi Yu cared more about the fact that he would have a strong appetite after coming into contact with the heart of the Roc.

The Dapeng bird is the offspring of the Phoenix. Theoretically, it is a legendary mythical creature, and the magical powers that occur in it are enough to prove this.

But no amount of deification can deny the instincts of the Peng bird as a living being, and it may even further amplify its characteristics.

Chi Yu looked at the glass heart in his hand, and that restlessness appeared in his heart again.

The Heart of the Roc also seems to represent the heart of the beast. It infinitely magnifies the "beast" side of the holder, so much so that it can temporarily overshadow human rationality.

But Chi Yu has always been good at restraining himself and finding the answers he wants from the information.

Killing is the instinct of all living things. This instinctive impulse is recorded in the genes of all living things. The thirst for blood, flesh and nutrients drives them to plunder everything until the target is devoured.

It would be better to say that the fact that the Peng bird chose to sleep here instead of rushing out and eating all the Kangba people to prolong its life shows that it attaches great importance to the agreement.

Chi Yu thought casually, it was a pity that in the end neither side ended up well.

The glass heart continued to flicker, like a flash of sunlight when the clouds drifted, and every move had a natural rhythm.

What would it feel like if he ate this heart? And what changes would it bring to him?

I don’t know, but Chi Yu is not going to try eating it raw.

The system interface contains countless synthesis formulas for props and potions. The spoils that Chi Yu obtains in every battle have a corresponding destination and there will be no waste.

Chi Yu opened the blending interface and placed the Glass Heart on the assembly table.

After the game is physicalized, the cooking station only has the function of a research and development menu, and all food needs to be made by oneself. However, the assembly station is different. It can still prepare those unconventional creations that do not conform to the current world view for players to use.

Therefore, as long as the main materials that meet the requirements are placed on the assembly table, the system will naturally unlock new recipes for the players and provide production services.

It's the same this time.

[Blood Vein Regulator A: A medicine used to treat blood vessel erosion symptoms. ]

[Attached is a message from the medical department: This is not elimination, but complete integration. You will always retain this characteristic, but I promise that it is controllable. ]

[This potion can only be effective against one bloodline at present. Doctor, for the sake of your health, please do not accept the support of other operators at will until the influence of the bloodline is completely eliminated.]

Chi Yu's gaze lingered on the message for a while, and without any hesitation, he clicked the button to start assembly in the void.

Soon, a dark blue potion appeared in the system's backpack, and the glass heart and other additional materials all turned into streams of light and disappeared.

Chi Yu took out the medicine. Unlike the coolness of the snowy mountains, the transparent glass tube still carried the cold air from the laboratory.

The glazed fluorescent powder floated slowly in the blue liquid. They mixed together but were not completely fused. Occasionally, a few tiny bubbles could be seen rising and exploding in it.

...Well, it doesn't look like it would taste very good.

But you have to drink this stuff.

Chi Yu made a "tsk" sound in his heart and drank the potion in one gulp.

The bitter taste of the potion was mixed with an unknown sourness, as if the sweet scent Chi Yu smelled when he looked at Liuli Xin was all his illusion. He didn't know whether it was a deliberate revenge by the person who made the potion.

But the bad taste is nothing compared to the good results it brings. The data indicating the degree of blood erosion in the status bar is decreasing at an accelerated rate.

The horn feathers in the hair began to regress, and the winding branches began to retract. The black wings reluctantly passed between Chi Yu's eyebrows and disappeared along with the horn's torso.

Not even the original little horn was left.

But Chi Yu could also feel that he could make the disappeared Jiao Yu reappear at any time.

Just as "controllable" as promised in the message, he can now freely retract the features that belong to the banshee.

Chi Yu smoothed his slightly messy hair and thought in his mind.

Although the controllable feature is not the part of Teng Snake that he urgently needs at the moment, partial controllability is also good news.

The reduction of blood erosion degree is not as obvious as the elimination of characteristics, but as long as the speed of value reduction is faster, he can leave here earlier and complete this commission.

and……

Chi Yu looked into the distance.

After he drank the potion, the originally weak sensation became more obvious.

But he didn't need to doubt this, as the system's dynamic column had already explained to him why all this happened.

[You defeated the "Lord of This Place" and passed the test of Liuli Heart.]

[Since you have accepted the inheritance of this place, the wind and snow will protect you. ]

[Achievement obtained: Lord of this place. 】

The mountains resonated and cheered, as if celebrating the birth of their new master. There seemed to be a sound from underground sighing deeply, but when Chi Yu listened carefully, he could only hear bronze chains swinging in the depths.

Amid the howling wind and snow, Zhang Qiling came to Chi Yu's side. He and Chi Yu stood side by side, gazing at the mountains in the distance together.

There are exposed black rocks, and a crack running across the mountain is like a hideous scar on the earth, showing its uniqueness in a ferocious manner.

Zhang Qiling stood there, and the two of them were silent for a long time.

"Do you want to know the story here?"

"what?"

Chi Yu looked at Zhang Qiling, and Zhang Qiling looked back at him.

“Everything about this place.”
