Chapter 296: Desert Night
The dark night of the desert is always desirable, the sky is full of bright stars, the endless dome is full of dark blue to black colors, there are no buildings, no plants, and the desert is everywhere you look, so the ancients would say "the sky is round and the place is round".

It's nice to have a whirlwind-free night, no need to eat a mouthful of mud and sand, and don't have to worry about your eyes being fascinated by sand and gravel.
The desert night was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat and my teeth chattering.
Xiong Jieba and Ye Ming found an open place, so as not to fall asleep at night and be buried in the sand again. The two of them made a fire, the crackling sound of the burning wood seemed to be silent, the empty desert was not so declining, and an iron pot was put on the fire, and the salty bamboo shoot soup was boiled in the pot, and slices of green onions, ginger and garlic were added.
Because the desert temperature is high during the day, a lot of sweating will lead to the absence of the body, and there is no sun at night, which is the best time to replenish salt, plus the hot soup burned by the fire can warm up the body, green onions, ginger and garlic can also drive away the cold, with pickled salted bamboo shoots, it is simply not too delicious.
"Hah! There are a lot of salty bamboo shoots, and it would be miserable if you don't spend the night in the desert. Xiong Jieba made a bowl of salty soup, then filled another bowl, and said: "By the way, senior brother, you haven't told me where Su Ling is locked up on this mission, we have been walking for almost five days, and we have crossed most of the Fire Country, when will we be able to arrive?" ”
Ye Ming ate well, tasted the tasteless salty bamboo shoot soup, and said: "She is locked up in the buffer zone at the junction of the three kingdoms, which is an underground prison built by Situ's family. However, the location of the prison is very secret, and we don't know exactly where it is, so we can only find it when we get there. ”
The so-called buffer zone is actually a sensitive dispute zone in the territory of the three major countries. During the Second Psychic War, the junction of the three was used as a war zone of cannon fodder, with countless casualties and extremely heavy yin qi, and then the three major countries didn't want it. Since then, the bigwigs of the Three Kingdoms have always decided to call it a buffer zone, because no one cares, so the security is quite chaotic, but at some point it quietly became the underground prison of the Situ family.
"That's it..."Xiong Jieba nodded and thought about it, and at the same time took out a piece of bread from his personal pocket, gnawed and said: "Oh, then we are not only crossing most of the Fire Country, but also the entire Fire Country!" ”
The Land of Fire is located to the west of the Eastern Continent, bordering the Land of Water to the east and the Land of Illusion to the north, while the buffer zone is located in the center of the junction of the Three Kingdoms, to the northeast of the Land of Fire. However, because the distance between the Spirit Village and the dangers on the way is also long, in order to save time, the two of them can only choose to go around a large circle with less difficulty, so that it will not be as far as crossing the entire Fire Country.
Xiong Jieba sighed in admiration, took a bite of the bread, and sighed: "My senior brother really didn't cover it, and it only took me five days to take me through the entire Fire Country. ”
Nightshade didn't answer, still drinking salty soup, looking at the crackling, occasionally sparks splashing out of the fire, as if there was something interesting in it.
Xiong Jieba stuffed the last piece of dough into his mouth, then took out the potatoes that had been put in advance from the fire, and asked while peeling the skin, "Senior brother, do you know what task Su Ling is doing this time?" Why did the master have to lie to her? ”
"Do you think it's possible for her to go if you don't lie to her?" Ye Ying took his eyes off the fire, looked at Xiong Jieba and said, "It's not that you don't know her character, you can hide, you can dodge, and you will never be the last to go." ”
"Uh..." Xiong Jieba's hand paused and pursed his mouth: "That's right, then what kind of task is she doing?" ”
Ye Ming was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Undercover." ”
Xiong Jieba heard these two words, his hand slipped, and the potatoes slipped away from his fingertips, and he fell into the fire for the first time, and he didn't feel sorry for wasting food for the first time, he still looked at Ye Ying in amazement, and stopped for two seconds before asking, "What?" Su Ling turned out to be an undercover agent sent to Situ's house by the village?! ”
No wonder Su Ling didn't want to do it, if he was replaced by Xiong Jieba, he wouldn't want to do this task even if he went on a hunger strike for a year, let alone a hunger strike, even if he wanted to be a low-level psychic for a lifetime, he would admit it, as long as he didn't go to the damn Situ family.
Xiong Jieba was restless, he originally only thought that Su Ling might go on some dangerous mission, such as assassination and secretly protecting someone, these were time-consuming and laborious tasks, so she didn't want to do it, but she didn't expect to be an undercover agent!
Needless to say, it is not an exaggeration to describe what kind of place the Situ family is, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as eating people without spitting out bones, but there are still countless psychic masters who have entered that family one after another. For what? The salary is good, the resources are abundant, and the most important thing is that the Situ family is very good at grasping the handle of psychicists, as long as it is the person they want, once they recognize it, they can't run away...
The entire psychic world is well aware of this.
Xiong Jieba swallowed dryly, with a bad expression on his face, and said, "Senior brother, you said that Su Ling is so good, will he be ......?"
Su Lingren is smart, diligent in practicing and a little bit of a thorough character, although she loves money, although she is casual, but she can't say why she always makes people feel that she is reliable and responsible.
Contradict yourself, but Su Ling is such a person, with a very striking character, which Ye Ying and Xiong Jieba also know well.
Ye Ying shook his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and said lightly: "I don't know either, so I want to go and see it and confirm it with my own eyes." ”
Xiong Jieba's face was pale, and then he shook his head violently, denying: "Su Ling will definitely not be that kind of person!" After that, he took out a piece of bread from his pocket and took a bite of it, looking as if the bread was a person from the hateful Situ family.
Seeing his appearance, Ye Ming couldn't help but laugh, and said lightly: "Big Bear, don't you feel like you can eat so much?" ”
Well... It seems like a lot. A big pot of salted bamboo shoot soup only drank two bowls in the night, and the remaining few times were all wrapped by Xiong Jie, and there were five or six bowls at least, and I ate two pieces of bread and half a potato, oh yes, he also gnawed two apples and a duck pear before eating.
Xiong Jieba's face turned red, and his mouth couldn't stop just now, and he swallowed all the unchewed cakes with a grunt, and complained: "Senior brother, can you not always tell the truth..."
Nightshade: "Well, then what I said was a lie. ”
Xiong Jieba: "Can you not be so superficial..."
Night Shadow: "Well, I'm not superficial, Big Bear, you've lost weight lately." ”
Xiong Jieba: "I may have admitted a fake senior brother, yes, it's definitely fake!" ”
