Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

The man with black glasses did not stop them nor follow them.

His reaction was good news for these people.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other, thinking that maybe Chi Yu was not that important to Black Glasses, which was why Black Glasses chose to leave Chi Yu alone at this time.

People are creatures that tend to form habitual thinking. They feel that Chi Yu's abilities are not worthy of his current status, and they firmly believe in their own ideas.

He had never thought deeply about it. The reason why Black Glasses chose to let them go and let them leave together was because Chi Yu did not need his help and preferred to deal with these blind guys by himself.

The six people walked along the wetland. Soon, the beach disappeared and the lush vegetation reappeared before their eyes.

"Brother Qiang said that after we re-enter the forest and walk a little further, we will see a large swamp. There is no way to bypass that swamp, so we can only go through the middle tomorrow."

"Let's go ahead and check out the situation of the land. If we find that the water is rising, or if we encounter any dangerous animals, come back and report so that they can be fully prepared."

Chi Yu glanced at the person who was speaking, nodded, and they entered the endless jungle again.

There is a temperature difference of about ten degrees in the rainforest at night compared to during the day.

Feeling the cool evening breeze, Chi Yu was silently thinking in his mind how to deal with these idiots around him later.

Before they came, they talked with Cheng Bingqiang, who not only knew what these people were planning, but also gave them a reason.

But the core goal has not been achieved yet, so it is not appropriate to break off relations with his client, so he cannot let these five people go without returning.

But it's not impossible to find an unlucky guy to make an example of.

Seeing the five people who were ready to make a move, Chi Yu happily decided to deal with whoever came forward first.

The group walked forward for about ten minutes, each with their own thoughts, and then stopped at the edge of their target swamp.

Several people held flashlights and pointed them at the water surface. They looked around and saw dense reeds standing in the middle, which seemed to be about four or five meters high.

"I don't know how deep this swamp is now, and whether we can pass through it successfully." The man who spoke felt a little nervous. He probed forward, approaching the swamp area, and then poked the walking stick in his hand into the water.

Almost instantly, his almost one-meter-long walking stick was completely submerged, with only a small section remaining exposed.

The man pulled back his walking stick and observed the mud and water above it: "It's about 80 centimeters deep in front, and 60% of it is peat. It's not easy to walk."

Several other people also talked about their own observations: "There are no signs of large creatures living nearby, but I found snake skins nearby. In addition, it is possible that there are some other small creatures in there."

"Little Military Advisor, why are you standing so far away? Are you scared?"

"Don't talk to the young military advisor like that. Maybe he has some special abilities and can tell what the swamp is like without even coming here."

"Yes, you are right, brother."

Several people burst into laughter immediately, and looked at Chi Yu with more teasing eyes.

Well, he certainly can.

Chi Yu withdrew his gaze from the map details and looked at the five people surrounding him: "Are we going to take action now?"

The leading man smiled at him and said, "There's nothing we can do, little military advisor. We brothers have been unhappy with your face for a long time. If it weren't for Hei Ye who had been protecting you, we would have wanted to talk to you a long time ago."

Hearing this, Chi Yu raised an eyebrow, "Do you think that I can get to where I am now all because of Black Glasses' help?"

Although he would not deny that Black Glasses did help him a lot in this regard, why do some people always think that Chi Yu's own efforts are not worth mentioning?

Is appearance really that influential?

Thinking of this, Chi Yu subconsciously touched his face.

As Chi Yu's thoughts drifted away, the man who spoke took the lead in attacking him. His fist was wrapped in a fierce gust of wind, and his target was Chi Yu's clean and harmless face.

Suddenly, a white shadow jumped out from Chi Yu's sleeves, pounced on the opponent's fist, and entangled with it. Chi Yu also took a side step, making the leading man's attack miss.

Chi Yu pulled out a portable trekking pole from his waist, swung it casually, and unfolded it completely.

Then he thrust his cane into the abdomen of another man who was rushing towards him, and taking advantage of the other man's instinctive reaction when he felt pain, he elbowed him in the back of the neck, and the man immediately fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the other three hurriedly tried to join the battle, but were interrupted by the screams of the leading man.

“Ah! My hand—!!”

The man's clenched fist turned black and swollen almost in the blink of an eye, and the color spread upwards, soon covering his entire arm.

"Knife...quickly use the knife to cut off my hand!" The man cried out in pain, but was not rescued as he wished.

When his younger brother reached out to take the knife, the dark mark spread to his shoulder.

Even if the opponent chopped off his arm at his fastest speed, the poisonous blood had already entered his torso.

The broken arm and blood were spilled on the muddy ground. After a few seconds, the owner of the arm became silent, shook a few times, and fell down.

The culprit who caused all this chose to leave as soon as the younger brother raised his knife to attack him.

At this moment, it was perched on Chi Yu's hand, constantly sucking its tongue, staring at them coldly with its blood-red snake eyes.

An indescribable atmosphere formed between the four people and one snake present.

The three people who were still awake looked vigilantly at Chi Yu and the white snake that was standing on his hands, as if ready to attack at any time, and were in a stalemate with him.

"Military Advisor Chi, you just killed two of our brothers. It will be hard to explain this to Brother Qiang when you go back, right?"

"Only this one died. The intact one was still breathing." Seeing their timid appearance, Chi Yu chuckled, "As for the explanation, it's very simple."

"We just accidentally encountered a snake. This guy was unlucky and got bitten. The poison took effect too quickly and we couldn't save him."

"As for the guy lying on the ground, he was too sad to accept the reality and was too emotional so he fell into a coma. Am I right?"

Chi Yu looked a little nonchalant when he said this.

But the implication of his words was also very clear, as if to imply that if the other party disagreed, they would all be "killed".

Hearing Chi Yu's subtext, the three looked at each other and gritted their teeth: "Military Advisor Chi is right, this is how it is."

"What happened today was caused by our brothers' mistakes, and it is also the end of my eldest brother's life. This is how it should have ended."

After saying this, in order to show their sincerity, they put away their weapons. Two of them pulled up the unconscious person and walked back in silence.

Chi Yu looked at them and called out to the one who still had empty hands.

"Since you are so aware, then throw your eldest brother into the swamp. After his death, he can be transformed into nutrients for nature, which can be regarded as a waste utilization."
