Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chi Yu planned a new return route for the three of them.

This route is shorter in a straight line, allowing them to return to the city more quickly.

——It’s just a little difficult to walk.

Black Glasses has traveled all over the country for so many years, and there is no dangerous place he has not encountered, so he has adapted well to this.

But A Ling spent three days that were too painful to recall.

The rainforest not only has a changeable climate, but also complex and varied terrain, from lowland plains dotted with rocky hills to plateau canyons crisscrossed with streams. A Ling not only witnessed the diversity of this forest maze, but also realized for the first time that flying in the sky was not as joyful as he had imagined.

Some of the rugged mountain roads were not something that a child could handle.

At that time, he was faced with a cliff more than three meters wide and an abyss below that seemed to have no bottom. But before he could figure out how to get through it, he felt himself being lifted up by a cold hand.

Before A Ling even had the chance to struggle, he felt a familiar feeling of weightlessness, accompanied by the sound of wind whistling in his ears, and was thrown directly to the other side, lying on the grass that smelled of earth, looking very embarrassed.

"Little guy, how long are you going to lie on the ground? Boss Chi is usually like this. He won't talk unless he takes action. You should be used to it by now."

The man with black glasses smiled and squatted in front of him, poked A Ling's cheek, and pointed to Chi Yu's figure in front of him: "Look, Boss Chi has walked so far alone. If you don't get up, we will leave you here."

"Didn't you two agree that one of you would hurt my fragile heart, and then the other would coax me to continue on my journey?"

Ah Ling stood up depressedly and looked at the man with black glasses. "I admit that I'm not as good as you two guys. I can walk on such a difficult road as if it were flat ground. But why do you have to throw me around? I'm not a rag sack."

The man with black glasses smiled at him and said, "You should know that Boss Chi and I have no obligation to take care of you. We can take you with us now because we like you and you are an interesting kid. In fact, we can just leave you behind and maybe we can leave here earlier."

In fact, A Ling understood the principles behind Black Glasses.

He was a pretty smart kid.

After leaving his carefree environment and facing the malice of this world, A Ling became more aware of how rare the care that Black Glasses and Chi Yu gave him was under such circumstances.

So he also sincerely regarded these two people as trustworthy companions.

...Although these two people are often more unreliable than each other.

Even though A Ling understood that many times, Chi Yu chose to help him because he knew that he could not do something or that it was too difficult for him to do certain things.

But this does not mean that A Ling is willing to passively accept Chi Yu's kindness in such an embarrassing way every time.

Ah Ling wiped his face and said to Black Glasses in anger: "I know you have good intentions, but can you try a different approach next time? Thank you in advance."

"It's no use telling me this. You have to go ask Boss Chi if he's willing to do this."

The man with black glasses shrugged at him, spread his hands and smiled, "It's not me who made you look so embarrassed. Don't look for the wrong person, kid."

So A Ling patted the dirt and grass residue on his body, spat twice, and spit out the weeds on his mouth, then followed Black Glasses to chase Chi Yu who had already walked a long way ahead.

After crossing the cliff and walking forward for a while, you will need to go down the cliff. Although the height of the cliff is only a few hundred meters, it is very steep and it looks difficult to climb.

Chi Yu looked down the mountain, stood on the edge of the cliff, and silently waited for the two people who fell behind.

With Black Glasses' ability, he doesn't need to worry about whether the other party will fail even if they are climbing without protection, but the same cannot be said for the Peacock Boy.

Even though Chi Yu's backpack contained plenty of safety ropes, enough for the other party to use, if the young man had to climb up by himself, it would probably take him an unknown amount of time.

So the fastest solution is to carry the person away directly.

It's a pity that this height is too dangerous. He can't just throw the person down, otherwise he wouldn't even need to carry him...

Well, it doesn’t seem impossible?

Chi Yu's mind popped up a scene of himself kicking the person down, then using Qinggong to catch the person before he hit the ground, and he suddenly felt eager to do something.

But soon, reason suppressed this impulse.

Well, the Peacock Boy is not his toy after all. Even if he can do it, if something unexpected happens and he accidentally causes the other party to send it, wouldn’t he become a sinner for all eternity?

Although Chi Yu showed no mercy to those who became his enemy's targets, he was not a man who took human life lightly.

Even though what he did in the past were not entirely innocent, at least he did not do anything harmful to the world later on.

You know, if Chi Yu hadn't traveled to this world and become busy again, he would probably still be in his original world, being a happy and leisurely retired person.

Why would I be here fighting with a bunch of tomb robbers?

What a sin.

Chi Yu shook his head and sighed.

"Chi Yu, what are you thinking about here?"

The voice of Peacock Boy came from behind. Chi Yu turned around and saw him and the man with black glasses walking out of the forest.

"I was wondering when you guys could come over."

Chi Yu walked up to the boy, staring at his wrinkled collar, wondering how he should carry him this time: "There is no way out here, we have to go downstairs, you are too slow, I will take care of you."

The young man exclaimed, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and quickly said to Chi Yu: "I just happen to have something to say to you about this matter. Can we talk about it now?"

"Let's talk about it later."

"No, you..."

Chi Yu found a good position, and before the other party could finish speaking, he grabbed the peacock boy by the collar. But thinking that he could easily bite his tongue in mid-air with his mouth open, he reminded him: "Shut your mouth."

Then, under A Ling's horrified gaze, Chi Yu took him and jumped down from the top of the mountain.
