Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

"Can you please stop asking me to bite someone?"

A small voice came from Chi Yu's hand.

Chi Yu glanced at the person he was talking to, raised his hand, and looked directly at the white snake: "You are a poisonous snake. If you don't need to bite, what can you use to attack the enemy?"

Hearing this, the white snake hesitated for a moment and said, "But biting people is too dirty. Can't you really let me grow up a little? If you are willing to let me grow up, then I can strangle them with my tail."

"Allowing you to grow this big is the limit of my tolerance. If you dare to grow any bigger, don't blame me for strangling you to death."

"I'm not even as thick as one of your fingers. Is that considered big?"

"Calculate."

Knowing that Chi Yu would not agree to its proposal this time, the white snake immediately lowered its head and crawled back into Chi Yu's sleeve listlessly.

Chi Yu put down his hand, put the trekking pole back to his waist, straightened his clothes, and started to return to the camp.

This white snake was what Chi Yu hatched from the [egg to be hatched] rewarded by the system after his trip to Baigong Mountain.

Perhaps due to system optimization, it has the ability to think independently since birth. Through testing, Chi Yu discovered that the White Snake's IQ is roughly equivalent to that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.

It doesn't have much demand for food and is not very interested in the common diet of snakes. Instead, it is very eager for Chi Yu's blood.

So Chi Yu tried to feed the white snake with his own blood. Soon, he felt a subtle connection between the two.

Moreover, this connection slowly deepened with the increase in the number of feedings, allowing Chi Yu to understand the meaning of the white snake's words even without increasing the degree of blood erosion.

After about a month, as soon as Chi Yu had a thought in his mind, the white snake could successfully receive his message and be driven by him.

Through several subsequent exchanges, Chi Yu also had a general understanding of the effects of his blood.

According to the White Snake, his blood is full of spiritual energy, and if specially processed, it will become an excellent tonic.

But if it is unprocessed blood, the energy contained in it is too concentrated, and any weaker creature that comes into contact with it accidentally will die.

So out of the instinct of self-preservation, they would choose to stay away from Chi Yu.

This also confirmed what Black Glasses had once mentioned to him, the feasibility of using blood to drive away snakes.

However, the White Snake also said that if they encountered those legendary mythical creatures, Chi Yu’s blood would be of no use, because the power possessed by the other party should not be underestimated, and the status of the two is the same.

As for the White Snake itself, because it was a priest in its previous life, it had been strengthened, and later it was pulled in by the system as a reward, so it was very adaptable to Chi Yu's power and was not afraid of the risks involved.

After being raised by Chi Yu, he spontaneously acted as a bodyguard, hiding himself in his sleeves and secretly spying on everyone who might have bad intentions towards Chi Yu.

Chi Yu had no objection to this, but only made one request, which was to not allow the white snake to continue to grow in size.

——He really couldn't accept a big snake clinging to his arm. The foreign body sensation would be too obvious.

This is why the white snake still appears to be no longer than 20 centimeters.

Those who had been taught a lesson by Chi Yu walked very fast. Chi Yu fell a little behind just because he had a conversation with the White Snake, and then he found that they had disappeared in front of him.

But Chi Yu didn't care about these little things. He walked slowly along the river beach, just enjoying a stroll in nature.

So when he finally returned to the place where he had camped before, he found that the camp was now brightly lit by flashlights, with shadows of people everywhere, and someone was shouting something.

Chi Yu stood outside and observed for a while, figuring that the noise would not stop for a while, so he walked inside.

"Military Advisor Chi! Military Advisor Chi is back!"

"Military Advisor Chi, there are blood-sucking carpets everywhere. We can't hold on any longer. Please help us!"

Several people who had suffered losses at the hands of Chi Yu before saw Chi Yu returning to the camp, and immediately asked him for help with shining eyes.

When other people nearby saw what the others were doing, they tried to imitate them. In an instant, voices calling for help from Chi Yu rose and fell among the crowd.

Chi Yu didn't even bother to pay any attention to the noise. He found the man with black glasses in the chaos, walked around the men who wanted to grab him, and walked towards him.

"what happened?"

Hearing the voice, the man with black glasses turned around and found Chi Yu standing there looking at him.

The commotion among the crowd didn't seem to affect him at all, and he still had that indifference as if he was independent of the world.

However, the more Chi Yu looked like this, the more the man with black glasses wanted to break his apparent calmness.

After all, people still need to show some vitality, otherwise their appearance will always be lifeless. Even if they have a good-looking face, the black glasses will always make it look less interesting.

Unfortunately, he has to take care of business now and has no time to tease Boss Chi.

Thinking of this, the man with black glasses took a step forward, kicked away Cheng Bingqiang who was almost caught by the vampire blanket, and smiled at Chi Yu.

"Just now, someone was drawing water from the lake and saw a black object floating on the water. He stupidly threw a stone at it and ended up scaring all these guys. Isn't that funny?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

Chi Yu checked the enemy details on the Moyu map. In the red area where they were, there was only one type of enemy in a triggered state.

Other creatures that could cause harm to the exploration team have not yet launched an offensive.

Faced with the attack of this group of blood-sucking carpets, everyone in the camp was busy.

The team that Cheng Bingqiang had put together was now split into several small groups, all of which were fighting on their own, not caring about the lives of others.

Chi Yu is the only exception in this team.

The reason is simple. As the name suggests, the main method of attack of vampire blankets is to use the lamp-sized suction cups on their abdomens to bite the enemy, and then suck the opponent's blood like a leech.

However, facing a tricky existence like Chi Yu who could kill anyone who touched him, it was difficult to eat the vampire blanket.

The desire for blood and the fear of death filled the vampire carpet's poor brain. In the end, the instinct for survival made them retreat, and they all moved away from where Chi Yu was and turned to attack other people.

When the man with black glasses saw this, he was immediately amused. He left Cheng Bingqiang beside him and came to Chi Yu, resting his elbow on his shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "Boss Chi, I didn't expect you to be so powerful? This thing looks afraid of you."

"If they drink my blood, they will die. Of course they are afraid."

Chi Yu glanced at Cheng Bingqiang, who was well protected by black glasses, and raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect you to work seriously. I thought you would find that the client was missing after you came back this time."

The man with black glasses coughed dryly, "That was an accident. I am also very professional, okay? If I receive the money, I will definitely do the job."

While the two were chatting, Cheng Bingqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief when the blood-sucking carpet retreated.

But he found that the monsters still did not retreat, but for some unknown reason, chose to change their attack targets.

Looking at the group of people who were in a tough fight, Cheng Bingqiang finally seemed to react. He slapped his head and said to the man with black glasses, "Mr. Hei, these monsters are afraid of fire. Please use fire to drive them away."

"Afraid of fire? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The man with black glasses had a half-smile on his face. He took out a torch from somewhere, lit it, and waved it towards the already crazy vampire carpet.

Seeing this, others also found torches and lit them.

As more and more torches were lit, the vampire carpets were forced to retreat step by step.

Finally, they flapped their symmetrical horns, spread their wings, slid back into the water along the ground, and soon all disappeared.

"Have they left?" Cheng Bingqiang murmured while looking at the lake.

Chi Yu looked at the direction where the monsters disappeared.

On the Moyu map, the blood-red areas have returned to their pure white color, representing safety.

At least for now, they won't come back.

This sudden attack left many people injured. Some even had the skin on their feet peeled off, revealing their pale muscles, with only a few drops of blood oozing out occasionally.

Blood, fear, and wailing.

This was their first night in the rainforest.
