Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Hearing Cheng Bingqiang's words, the crowd suddenly became panicked.

They couldn't see how many deadly monsters existed in the swamp, nor did they know whether they would be killed by that monster in the next second.

Everyone was terrified to the extreme by this unknown feeling. They no longer cared about maintaining their formation and physical strength and only wanted to quickly escape from this haunted place.

Several people ran back to the hill they had passed by before.

But more people realized that although they could gain temporary safety if they returned to the mound, they might be trapped and die there, so they ran forward desperately.

Cheng Bingqiang was also running forward desperately, catching up with the Peacock Boy who wanted to escape alone, grabbed him and cut his arm.

The peacock boy wanted to cover the wound with his hand, but Cheng Bingqiang stopped him with a knife in hand, so he could only let the blood fall into the water.

Several people who seemed to know the inside story approached them and moved forward in a group.

When the others saw their behavior, they realized something and looked resentful, preparing to go find Cheng Bingqiang to ask for an explanation.

It seems that if the other party does not tell the truth today, the worst that can happen is that everyone will stay here and die together.

Cheng Bingqiang had no way to deal with them and could only explain the matter about the Peacock Boy to everyone.

"Brother, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I originally thought that the monster in the swamp was just a rumor to scare away outsiders, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"And the news I got also said that the monster was afraid of the magic power of Lan Lana, and also afraid of her descendants, so I kept this kid here."

Some people didn't believe it and asked suspiciously, "If you don't care about these rumors, why did you bring people here? What else are you hiding? You'd better tell us all now. Otherwise, it's not that the brothers don't want to make money with you, but that you have been playing tricks on them!"

Cheng Bingqiang gritted his teeth, looked at the people who were obviously no longer willing to believe him, and pushed the boy into the crowd: "Okay, since you want to know why I must bring this guy with me, then I will tell you now."

"Where we are going is a canyon with complex terrain. It is the only safe way to the Peacock Country. Moreover, that road is very strange. It only recognizes people with Peacock Country blood. Unless we bring this guy with us, we won't be able to find that road at all."

The group of people looked at each other, and a restless emotion continued to surge among the crowd.

"You know so much, you must not just get it from the people in the village, right? Do you have all the information recorded on you?"

"No, I have nothing on me except the map..."

Without further communication, everyone took out their weapons in tacit understanding.

"Why, you want to fight here?"

"Brother Qiang, you have been so secretive when speaking. I don't want more brothers to die because of the information you concealed. I can only wrong you and hand over everything."

Cheng Bingqiang smiled, and a fierce look appeared on his originally kind round face: "You bunch of bastards, I wanted to bring you here to make a fortune, but you wanted to play this trick on me, Brother Qiang?"

At this point, Cheng Bingqiang and his gang, along with everyone else, had already formed a situation of confrontation between the two sides, and they no longer cared about the other dangers surrounding them.

After their already shaky alliance was broken, everyone just wanted to take the immediate benefits for themselves.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Chi Yu chuckled.

Seeing the expression on Chi Yu's face, Black Glasses immediately realized why the other party had to smear blood on him for insurance, and couldn't help but be a little shocked: "Boss Chi, did you do all this?"

Hearing this, Chi Yu tilted his head towards the man with black glasses and said, "Isn't it because of that person's blood that these creatures that look like they haven't eaten meat for a long time were attracted here?"

But he did add some spice.

[Originium Bug Trap (modified): Since Originium Bugs do not exist in this world, after modification, it can lure specific creatures around for a certain period of time. But the name of the item remains unchanged, which may be the last bit of stubbornness of the engineer. ]

This is a biological luring device that Chi Yu found in the system. As long as you choose the object you want to attract and then turn on the switch, those targets will come to you on their own.

It's just right to use here.

Although Cheng Bingqiang is his client, he does have ill intentions towards Chi Yu.

Chi Yu would never let such a person live in this world for too long, and the mission did not require that Cheng Bingqiang's safety must be guaranteed.

Now let him suffer a little at the hands of this group of people, just as collecting some interest in advance.

As long as he can successfully lead his men to the Peacock Kingdom, there should be no problem even if Cheng Bingqiang is half dead by then.

So even though they were about to fight, Chi Yu had no intention of stepping forward to stop them. Instead, he was very satisfied with the situation he had created and was happy to watch the show from the sidelines.

Regarding Chi Yu's tricks, the man with black glasses clapped his hands with a smile, then looked at the crowd and touched his chin, thinking: "It seems that Cheng Bingqiang brought too few people. What if we really can't beat them later?"

"Since he dared to bring so many people of unknown origin here, he should have a backup plan. Even if he didn't, I will not let him die so easily with me here."

Chi Yu looked at the people who were still in the standoff and replied, "After all, he is my client, so I still have some face."

"Then he is really lucky to meet a guy like you who has such a dedicated spirit."

"Really? I think this guy is pretty unlucky."

The man with black glasses smiled and asked him, "Why do you say that?"

Chi Yu sneered, "If he had invited someone else, it would be fine. I don't bother to care about the life and death of irrelevant people. At most, I would despise him on a moral level."

"But he invited me and put his plan on my head. So, no matter what Cheng Bingqiang wanted to gain from this operation before, from the moment I arrived, his goal was impossible to achieve."

Hearing this, the man with black glasses nodded with empathy: "Well, it seems that he is indeed unlucky."

Only then could he and Chi Yu, two uncontrollable time bombs, be accurately selected from among so many people.

The two sides soon started fighting, with someone firing a few cold shots from behind from time to time. Even without the monster attacks, the number of people was reduced.

Seeing this, Cheng Bingqiang's already bad expression became even worse. He cursed and looked around. Seeing Chi Yu and Black Glasses watching the show on the side, he immediately felt like he had eaten a fly.

"Master Hei, Military Advisor Chi, are you two just standing there and watching? I haven't treated you badly in terms of money, have I?"

The man with black glasses didn't tolerate him. With a half-smile on his face, he waved his hand at Cheng Bingqiang and said, "It's too dangerous here. A blind man like me can't be of any use. Boss Cheng, you should take care of yourself."

Feeling that the other party's gaze fell on him again after listening to the words of the man with black glasses, Chi Yu looked at him calmly and spoke in a calm voice.

"I can only find traps and explore the way, I can't fight."
