Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

After the two men ran out, three bodyguards seemed to want to assist Baoyi and ran over as well. The scene seemed a little chaotic under the swaying lights.

Zhou Zixu looked at the direction they disappeared and wanted to follow them to see what was going on. However, before he could run a few steps, he was grabbed by the man with black glasses.

"Master Zhou, someone has already gone to chase them. You'd better wait here quietly and don't join in the fun." The man with black glasses chuckled and held Zhou Zixu tightly with his hands, making him unable to move.

"Okay, I won't join in the fun, just let go of your hand."

Only then did the man with black glasses let go of his hand.

Zhou Zixu shook his arm in pain, complaining as he shook it: "You're using so much force, we don't have any grudges against each other, right? I didn't realize you were so strong before, you really can't judge a person by appearance."

"If I hadn't held you back just now, you would have probably run away with those people."

The man with black glasses shrugged his shoulders. "Look at your thin arms and legs. Why do you want to imitate those bodyguards and chase people? If you really encounter an emergency, you will need others to protect you. Wouldn't that be a hindrance?"

Zhou Zixu was so embarrassed by what he said that he could only say awkwardly: "I just saw that they all went there, so I subconsciously wanted to follow them..."

With typical herd mentality, Chi Yu withdrew his gaze from the system map and glanced at him.

The icons of Bao San and Bao Yi just flashed on the map and then disappeared. Currently, only the avatars of a few other people are still displayed on the nearby blocks, but they have also started to return along the same route.

But let him disappear. He is not everyone's babysitter, so he has to take care of everyone. The most important thing now is to get Zhou Zixu out.

However, there has been no new movement on the platform above. Even if the equipment needs to be dismantled, it will not take so long.

Thinking of this, Chi Yu frowned, walked forward, stretched out his hand and shook the rope.

The system interface suddenly popped up when he looked up. A line flashing red light stretched out from a block deep underground and entangled with the white block representing the bluestone platform area. The blood-red mark immediately covered it.

That is the sign of [Enemy Attack].

There is a situation in the game where some enemies will suddenly appear in an originally safe area and entrench themselves there.

If the player chooses to leave them alone, these enemies will march towards the camp every day until the player is forced to give up exploring and fight them.

——Something might have happened to the person above.

After realizing this possibility, Chi Yu groaned. He has always been a proactive person and didn't want to sit and wait for death, so he said to the man with black glasses: "Protect Zhou Zixu."

Then he took a deep breath, touched the ground with his toes, and using the force of pulling the rope, he rose up lightly like a flying swallow. In almost the blink of an eye, he was on the platform.

Before Zhou Zixu had the chance to ask Chi Yu what he wanted to do, he saw him easily climb up the platform, which would have taken several minutes to reach even with help.

"Fuck, is this the legendary Qinggong?"

Zhou Zixu took a breath of cold air and looked up quickly, but he could only see a piece of clothing passing by the entrance, and then he could see nothing.

"I said that Brother Chi doesn't look like an ordinary person. It turns out that I am quite good at judging people..."

Zhou Zixu tilted his head back, maintaining that position without moving, muttering to himself, looking quite stimulated.

There was also a flash of surprise in the man with black glasses’ eyes.

He smiled and whistled, opening his mouth to say something, but before the man with black glasses could finish his words, Zhou Zixu turned his head, looked at him dimly, and asked, "Do you think I can learn this kind of kung fu?"

The man with black glasses chuckled and patted Zhou Zixu's head: "If you want to learn, find a good master and practice hard for more than ten years, then you should be able to get started."

Zhou Zixu slapped his hand away angrily.

While chatting and laughing, the three bodyguards who had left to chase someone also returned to the hall.

They were all panting, with panic on their faces. They pointed behind them and shouted, "There are so many corpses! The corpses are alive and they are following us! We have to run!"

After saying that, he ran to the rope, trying to escape from here by climbing.

But the enemy's arrival did not give them any chance to leave. Almost as soon as they heard the news, corpses rushed out from the darkness.

"Are these corpses? They are basically the monsters on the murals. Didn't Brother Chi say that the Queen Mother of the West took them all away? How come there are still some here?!" Zhou Zixu's face was almost distorted, and his voice was so terrified that it almost broke.

Hearing this, the man with black glasses laughed loudly. While shooting at the approaching corpses, he also had time to explain to Zhou Zixu: "Master Zhou, you see, most of these corpses are naked, without any fur. They are obviously the failed works of the Queen Mother of the West. Since they are failed products, of course they will not be taken away."

"But wouldn't it be more terrifying if the corpse could move?" Zhou Zixu looked even more devastated.

"It's very common for us in this business."

The man with black glasses grinned at him, approached the rope and pulled the bodyguard down: "I wonder why you bodyguards have no sense of humility at all? At a time like this, of course you should let the boss run first."

The bodyguards were pointed at with guns by him, and some dared not speak out. However, Black Glasses ignored the resentful look of the other party and smiled at Zhou Zixu, "Master Zhou, hurry up, okay?"

Chi Yu was completely unaware of the chaos going on below.

After he returned to the platform, he saw a black shadow passing by. Chi Yu dodged and tried to dodge, but found that the originally empty platform was now crawling with densely packed snakes, leaving him with no place to step.

Chi Yu pulled out a trekking pole from his bag as a makeshift weapon, and tried to clear a space to land, but he found that the snakes seemed to be consciously avoiding him. Before he could even put the pole down, the snakes scattered wherever he looked.

Faced with such a strange scene, even Chi Yu was a little confused for a moment. He stood in the position made for him by the snakes, touching his walking stick and falling into confusion.

"We are not the enemy."

The shadow that Chi Yu had dodged earlier made intermittent sounds. Chi Yu looked over and found that the person who spoke was one of the bodyguards who returned to the platform first.

But his breath was different from the fresh feeling he had felt before, it had become as turbid as a pool of stagnant water.

Chi Yu stared at the man and found that his face was stiff and he still maintained an expression of disbelief.

Even though he was in this state, his mouth was still opening and closing: "We are the same kind. Stay here. Leave them here as sacrifices."

As the man spoke, Chi Yu finally figured out what was controlling him.

It was a snake hidden in his mouth.
