Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chi Yu's words came true a week later.

The tail could be seen jumping around on the day before, but it disappeared on the seventh day, and its snake pupils and pointed ears also turned back to their human appearance.

Apart from the scales that can only be seen with careful observation, there are almost no inhuman traces left on Chi Yu's body.

Seeing Zhang Qiling not happy about leaving early, Chi Yu asked, "Three days earlier than expected, this should be good news. Why do you look disappointed?"

Zhang Qiling withdrew his gaze from behind Chi Yu and looked back calmly: "No."

All right, if you say no, then no. Chi Yu curled his lips and stood up to take the weapon box next to the other party.

During these days, Zhang Qiling mostly spent time collecting usable supplies in Kangba tribe and collecting corpses for the Kangba people.

Chi Yu has always been indifferent to the death of others. He will not mourn for the departure of anyone, so the whistle of the banshee has never been heard in this silent valley.

Besides that, Zhang Qiling's main job was to maintain the weapons in Chi Yu's box. Chi Yu could kill a lot of time just by sitting there and watching Zhang Qiling take out the props from the weapon box, polish and clean them, and then put them back one by one.

Zhang Qiling once asked him what the words engraved in the box meant, and Chi Yu didn't mind talking to him about stories and beliefs related to the Candle Bearer in his spare time.

Of course, they are all local adaptations.

Otherwise, where would he find Terra and Yan Country?

Zhang Qiling listened carefully and occasionally asked some questions.

"Drive away the shadows of giant beasts and observe the dangers to the country. Is this why you have been hunting these strange beasts?"

"Not exactly." Chi Yu said, "I do this mainly based on my mood and needs. After all, I'm not a formal candle holder."

"then you……"

Chi Yu looked at Zhang Qiling. His tone was very light, and his expression was half-smile. "The person who gave me this hope is not in this world, but I have to respond to it. If conditions permit, I am still willing to fulfill this promise."

So Zhang Qiling did not continue this topic. He lowered his head and continued to wipe the knife, letting the room return to a quiet atmosphere.

Chi Yu carried the weapon box on his back. The weight did not change at all, and the number of weapons in the box did not decrease.

The knife that Chi Yu had casually said he would give to Zhang Qiling was returned to the box by the other party.

Zhang Qiling said that he didn't have a scabbard worthy of the sword at the moment, and he didn't want to let down the thoughtfulness of this gift, so Chi Yu let him go.

After all, the set is not missing, and it looks more pleasing to the eye when placed there neatly.

Zhang Qiling packed up the necessary supplies and tied them to his backpack.

The charcoal fire in Bai Shi's house had long been extinguished. When the two came outside together, they saw new snow falling slowly from the sky, and it was so vast that it almost covered the entire Kangba Village.

"It's snowing again." Chi Yu glanced at the weather conditions on the Moyu map and said lightly, "This snow probably won't stop until the beginning of next spring."

"The snow will only get heavier from now on. We'd better leave before the mountain is closed off by snow."

What Zhang Qiling said was exactly what Chi Yu was thinking, and the two of them walked together on the stone steps in the valley.

Countless Mani piles were placed there, gathered in groups. They went up along the frozen river, and soon they came to a cliff.

A completely black Lama temple stood there solemnly. The cliff was its top, but as long as he looked down, Chi Yu could see all the beautiful scenery here.

This of course includes Lake Combalo.

When the breathtaking blue mark came into view, Chi Yu suddenly understood why Zhang Qiling said to him "This place will be more beautiful if you look at it from a high place" when they came here for the first day.

The beautiful colors, so clear that they seem unreal, are like soft silk, and the lake surface sparkles like gems under the refraction of natural sunlight.

The blue and white complement each other, and together they create an indescribable beauty of this place.

Chi Yu blinked and looked at the scenery in front of him. Suddenly, he wanted to record it all.

It is not for data retention, but simply out of human perception of beauty.

"It really looks good." said Chi Yu.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Qiling, who considerately lagged behind him by a few steps, as if to allow him to fully appreciate the scenery.

But he was actually more curious about what Zhang Qiling was thinking when facing such a scene.

——That certainly won’t be indifferent.

Otherwise, why would he subconsciously praise the scenery from above in front of Chi Yu?

Chi Yu thought about it and asked this question.

Zhang Qiling stepped forward.

Maybe humans are naturally highly adaptable to everything.

When Zhang Qiling saw the sacred and solemn snow-capped mountains and the mysterious and tranquil lake again, the impact of these beautiful scenes on his heart was no longer as great as when he first saw them, and they were no longer enough to break through his defenses.

But one thing is certain, Zhang Qiling thought.

He looked at the young man beside him.

The other person's deep blue eyes were still staring at him without blinking, waiting for an answer earnestly.

"Your eyes are like this lake."
