Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chapter 59: One of the Three People is Always Redundant

In fact, they originally brought this bone fragment by accident when they were collecting other things.

Originally they were not very interested in it and were ready to throw it aside, but they did not expect that after picking it up, they felt a comfortable power from it.

This power can increase the strength of the person holding it. Although the increase is not high, it is still a good weapon.

However, the power of this bone fragment seems to only work on some specific people. In the hands of more people, it is just an ordinary piece of fragment.

Seeing this, Black Glasses touched his chin and said, "Oh, so what I felt before was not an illusion. It seems that this thing is really useful."

Chi Yu turned to the next page of his notes, glanced casually at the man with black glasses who had just finished messing with the child and came closer, and asked him, "You think this thing can be useful to you too?"

"correct."

The young man who was leading the way in front stopped immediately when he heard this, turned around and looked at Chi Yu and the man with black glasses, with a very interesting expression on his face.

Seeing that he was not leaving, Chi Yu casually flipped through the contents of the notebook, then closed it, held it in his hand, and asked the boy, "What's wrong?"

"Oh... nothing, I just feel complicated."

The young man said slowly, facing Chi Yu's urging eyes, and took another step, "I didn't feel the feeling you described at all. It was just because this was something my mother gave me later, so I kept it on purpose."

"Really? Then it seems your mother can also use this bone fragment."

The boy nodded and explained to them, "Yes, my mother is the best person in our village. If...if it weren't for that old beast, in a few years, when the old village chief retires, she will be our new village chief."

"Because of my mother's influence, I was able to learn some things that other children didn't know since I was a child. For example, this notebook. Even other people in our village, not everyone knows about it and can see the records in it."

At this point, the boy's expression showed some pride and nostalgia: "But not only do I know it, I can also read the contents."

Chi Yu nodded and said "hmm", "then what?"

A Ling was immediately deflated: "Can't you provide me with some positive emotional value? I am very serious about leading you now."

"Okay, then I'll praise you."

This was the second time that Peacock Boy had asked him for emotional value.

After all, they are in a cooperative relationship now. Although he can continue to refuse, he still has to consider the other party's mood to avoid the situation where his mood is too bad and he chooses to go on strike.

Chi Yu thought for a moment, his eyes wandering over the boy's messy hair, and finally reached out his hand, patted his shoulder, and smiled at the boy: "You are amazing."

A Ling had already gotten used to the coldness and criticism from this man who usually had no other expression on his face, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually respond to his words this time.

Looking at the smile on Chi Yu's face, which was in stark contrast to his own temperament, A Ling couldn't help but be dazed for a moment. He was not paying attention and was tripped by the protruding tree roots under his feet and fell to the ground.

What’s even more hateful is that when they saw that he was about to fall, neither Chi Yu nor the guy with black glasses had any intention of pulling him up, and just let him have close contact with the ground.

When A Ling quickly got up from the ground, shook off the branches and dirt on his body, and looked back, he saw that the smile on Chi Yu's face had disappeared, and there was some disgust in the look when he looked at him.

The man with black glasses stood next to Chi Yu, his arm on his shoulder, leaning against him and laughing strangely.

"Stop laughing. It's just a fall. What's so funny?" A Ling yelled at the man with black glasses in anger, but it was of no use because the man laughed even harder after hearing what he said.

No, if they continue like this, it will soon be dark. When will they be able to reach the royal tomb?

Chi Yu glanced at the sky and thought that he had to unlock the location of the lost royal tomb at least before the end of today, so he used his elbow to push the black glasses leaning against him and said, "It's getting late. We have to find the location of the royal tomb today. Don't interrupt him here."

After that, he said to the peacock boy seriously: "He is just like this. Just ignore him and continue to lead the way."

So the young man snorted at the man with black glasses, closed his eyes and felt the direction again, then continued to move forward with the two of them.

The three of them walked in the jungle for about two hours. During this time, the young man stopped to rest for a while and replenish his energy.

Chi Yu had no objection to the fact that his guide was exhausted and needed to rest. After all, not everyone could be as energetic as him and Black Glasses.

However, even though the Peacock Boy is only a child of twelve or thirteen years old, and we shouldn't demand too much from him, his physical fitness is indeed a bit poor for the current situation.

Although the specific situation of the royal tomb is still unclear at present, according to the description in the notes, even descendants with blood advantages will encounter countless dangers after entering it.

In this case, if we were to bring this slightly weak boy along, it would be like bringing along a huge burden.

Thinking of this, Chi Yu opened the Moyu map and looked at the white area in Peacock Country that had been unlocked by them. He asked the boy, "How far are we from the Royal Tomb now?"

The young man, who had no idea that he was about to be abandoned by Chi Yu, thought for a moment and replied, "It should be not far ahead. I can feel that we are very close to it now."

"Okay, let's find a suitable place nearby to rest for the night." Chi Yu's eyes lingered on the gray blocks closest to them on the Moyu map. "It's too dark at night and not suitable for action. Let's set up camp and rest as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Hearing that he could finally take a breath, A Ling's spirits lifted.

He chose a relatively dry place, and went there with Chi Yu and Black Glasses. At night, listening to the crackling sound of the fire outside the tent, he had a rare good sleep.

But when he woke up the next day, facing the burnt-out campfire and the empty space with only his tent left, A Ling fell into an indescribable silence.

Looking at the supplies that Chi Yu and Black Glasses had left for him beside the tent, as well as the note informing him that he could leave on his own, A Ling's chest heaved violently.

"Chi, Yu——!"
