Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

"Dear family members, today is the fifth day of Quanzi's wasteland survival. Yesterday I was lucky enough to pick wild vegetables that can be eaten, so today's brunch is wild vegetable soup. Here I am going to share with you a unique secret recipe that can effectively eliminate the wasteland. The fishy smell of wild vegetables can be used by my family if they go to the wilderness to survive like Quanzi. Haha, just kidding, Quanzi sincerely hopes that everyone will never fall into the trap of eating wild vegetables. But this secret recipe is very special! It goes well with any exotic fruits and vegetables that are not easy to eat!”

To the west of the Dinghuang barrier, floating a hundred meters in the air, in a tent surrounded by lights, Shu Quan, the master of Qinglu from Rongcheng, was holding a flower tray and dancing in front of a small stove.

A small pot of mixed porridge was cooking on the stove. There were a few purple-red vegetable leaves floating in the porridge, dyeing the whole pot of porridge with blood stains. As the bubbles in the porridge rolled, a faint red mist also appeared in the tent. Diffuse, the scene is daunting. However, Shu Quan looked intoxicated, sometimes stirring the pot with a spoon, sometimes glancing at the flower plate, and lightly arranging his makeup, busy but comfortable.

A moment later, when the porridge was cooked, Shu Quan immediately put out the fire in the stove with his finger, said a few words to the flower plate, then took the flower plate down, his face immediately relaxed, and then looked painful and ferocious. She first threw a few pieces of [Substitute Wei Ling] into the pot with disgust, then opened the curtain to disperse the red mist, and finally patted her cheeks, gradually softening the generous and sacrificial look on her face into the intoxication of enjoying the food. Then I lifted up the flower plate and prepared the porridge pot to record this simple, convenient and thoughtful wilderness brunch.

However, just as she picked up the spoon and put it into her mouth, with a charming smile on her face, she heard several extremely sudden knocks on the door, and then she caught a glimpse of two figures standing outside the tent, one tall and one short, who seemed to be a man. A woman, under the swaying reflection of the Dinghuang lantern, grows and shrinks, disappears and appears, like a twisted ghost.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood porridge sprayed onto the tent on the spot, and then Shu Quan hurriedly pulled out the protective flying sword in his bag, but he knocked over the porridge pot with a wave of his hand, and the hot blood porridge poured directly on his legs and feet, causing a burst of screams. .

——

"Hiss... Lili, why are you... here?"

In the tent, Shu Quan put on a happy face and carefully applied ointment to the injured area.

As a cultivator who has the golden elixir in his belly, a pot of hot porridge will not hurt anyone, but the wild vegetables contaminated with wild poison in the porridge are really powerful. He only got a vegetable leaf on his ankle, and now he looked at his ankle. It was already turning faintly blue.

But this injury just happened to allow Shu Quan to reasonably ignore Ma Cong, who was wearing black armor, and then put on a weak posture like an injured person, and the painful gasping sounds seemed to be torturing the person: Look The good deeds you did caused my beautiful girl to suffer pain, so why do you still have the nerve to speak harshly to me? Besides, my good sister, you just came to see me, why did you bring a evil star with you?

As expected, Fan Li fell into a moral dilemma. While he was hurriedly helping Shu Quan with his exercises to heal his injuries, he looked at Ma Cong pitifully, hoping that the soldier from the Shenfeng Camp would be merciful.

However, Ma Cong, who was single since birth, sneered.

"If I were you, I would at least thank the person who saved your life first. How much water has gone into your brain, and you dare to pull grass and eat it in the wilderness? If we hadn't interrupted you in time to take the poison, grass would have grown on your grave by now, or should you say The show you prepared for your Qinglu is your own death? "

Although it was painful to be stabbed, Shu Quan did not feel guilty at all. Instead, he retorted confidently: "You usually block the news and don't tell us anything related to the wasteland. Now you blame us for our ignorance. How shameless?!"

Ma Cong was also stunned by the rebuttal: "You can't pull weeds in the wasteland, so this news needs to be blocked? Do you want to unblock your brain first?"

Shu Quan was about to jump up on the spot: "What's your attitude!?"

While dancing, you have to play with the flower plate.

"Just wait, I'm going to expose you! The dignified soldiers of the Anti-Famine Army take advantage of our people's wealth, but they are very evil to the people!"

Ma Congyile: "Okay, let's expose it and see if you can expose it. If you can expose it, I will immediately write to my superiors to report that Taixu Division did nothing and allowed the frontline soldiers to bleed and cry!"

Such a calm and high-pressure posture suddenly made Shu Quan a little nervous, but the more nervous she became, the more aggressive she became: "Okay, just wait! I will expose it to you when I get back! Stop using Taixusi to scare people, Can Taixu Division take care of Zhu Wang and the entire Taixu Illusion Realm? Can’t I go to another country to expose it?”

Ma Cong was more happy: "Okay, hurry up and see if any country dares to take in Zhu Wang's traitors now that they are starting to open up the wilderness."

At this point, Shu Quan was suddenly at a loss for words. Fortunately, there was Fan Li between the two of them.

"Quan'er, you... better say a few words, General Ma is here to save you."

Ma Cong curled his lips and said: "I don't deserve the title of general. I am just a soldier on the front line, responsible for saving some people who are not worth saving."

Fan Li quickly persuaded: "General Ma, Quan'er really didn't mean to contradict you. She was just injured and was affected by the desolate poison..."

Ma Cong shrugged: "Okay, as long as she can be more honest in the future, I will treat it as nonsense that was poisoned into the brain. By the way, don't use those conventional medicines to cure the famine. It's so easy to cure the famine. If the poison is used, the frontline will not be sacrificed very often. I have a pill here, which I can use to dissolve it and apply it on the wound. It may hurt a little, but I can bear it. It is better than amputating the limb on the spot if the poison enters the marrow. "

Fan Li took the elixir, thanked her profusely on behalf of her best friend, and squatted down in front of Shu Quan to help her convert the elixir. Shu Quan thanked him in a low voice, and then fell silent, with a look of shame, annoyance, and guilt on his face.

But of course Ma Cong would not let her go. As the medicine gradually took effect, the blood gradually faded from Shu Quan's face, and cold sweat oozed out. He squatted in front of Shu Quan, looked at the little face that began to twist, and started to cry coldly. own interrogation.

"First question, what are you doing in the wasteland?"

Shu Quan struggled and glared at him, then turned his head and refused to cooperate.

Ma Cong warned: "I am asking you as a soldier of the Dinghuang Army."

Shu Quan still ignored him, completely unaware that Ma Cong had become more and more impatient to play Ma Cong. The sword around his waist was faintly cold, and he might violently interrogate or even search for the soul at any time.

But it was Fan Li who realized the risk at the critical moment. An idea flashed in his mind and he said something to save the world: "Quan'er, I beg you."

"Hmph...Okay, for Lili's sake."

After getting the steps, Shu Quan finally stopped seeking death and started his own statement.

"I'm here to make a wilderness survival record. As you can see, today is my fifth day here."

Ma Cong carefully looked at Shuquan, and used his spiritual mind to sense the concentration of desolate poison inside and outside the tent, and sneered: "It's really the fifth day. I thought you would stay here for at most one day, and then edit and splice it when you get back." Contents to come in five days.”

Shu Quan rolled his eyes at him: "You... don't understand at all? This kind of documentary is bound to be a hit. Once it becomes popular, people will definitely chase it and bite it like a mad dog. I really want to save a little trouble and leave so many people behind." It’s a big flaw, and when the time comes and I’m laughed at and ridiculed as a liar, all my hard work along the way will be in vain!”

Ma Cong continued to sneer: "It's bound to be a hit? It's bound to be a house explosion. Do you really think that Taixu Division is just a decoration? Maybe before you go back to process the flower plates, your Qinglu will have been blasted at a certain point."

When this topic was brought up, Shu Quan really felt a little guilty. He lowered his head and said, "No, it can't be right? I don't think those Qinglu owners who ran to Chilangdi did anything! Most of them are temporarily closing Qinglu. After a while, It’s restored.”

"That's why you bunch of reckless people are like moths to a flame, rushing forward one after another, wasting precious frontline troops searching and rescuing. If you don't know the canonical punishment, I'm afraid people will mistakenly think that we are trying to resist but welcome."

Shu Quan said: "That's right! The west of your Lingshan Mountain is known as a restricted area under military control, but people are leaking out one after another, and the ban on Qinglu is not strict. What else can people think? It's just that you want to exaggerate the peace on the front line. Comfort, so that the rear can enjoy peace and harmony, but this argument cannot be made by the government and just allow the people to build momentum!"

When Ma Cong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, your logic really makes it right."

Shu Quan snorted: "That's probably the truth. If you, a big-headed soldier, study the policies of the Golden Deer Hall more often, you might be able to live a better life!"

Ma Cong did not dwell on this issue, and asked: "Before you, the forbidden area was indeed broken through frequently, but most of them were in Chilangdi and Baili Mountain Basin to collect news. How dare you break through the barrier and live in the wasteland? Come?"

When Shu Quan heard this, he sighed sincerely: "I can't help it! You have missed too many people, and the adventure programs west of Lingshan have become stale. Except for the first person who posted a picture scroll outside Qinglu That person made the most traffic, and the number of Luwai Jinke increased tenfold overnight... In fact, most of the succeeding Qinglu owners didn't make much money. However, this pioneering front is the biggest outlet now, regardless of the normal business. All relevant and unrelated people came together in a hurry, for fear of missing the opportunity..."

Ma Cong said: "Like you?"

Shu Quan then sighed even more bitterly: "Yes, like me! In fact, I didn't want to come at all in the beginning. There were so many Qinglu owners gathered on the front line, including some of the most professional outdoor adventure masters. Instead of being a layman and getting involved with their professional players, It’s better to sit in the back and comment! Besides, the patrons who come to my green house on weekdays are all just fun-loving people who only want to hear my weird stories, and few of them come to see professional adventures!”

These words came completely from the heart, but Ma Cong couldn't help but wonder: "If that's the case, why did you..."

"Hmph..." Shu Quan obviously didn't want to say anything, but he only felt depressed for a moment before saying frankly, "There is a bitch that I hate the most. She became inexplicably popular with a picture of the front line. Not only did she become popular, but she also In the later show, he made fun of me!"

Ma Cong sneered: "Have you made your judgment on others?"

Shu Quan said angrily: "She relies on that picture scroll to gain popularity, doesn't she just want to be judged by others? Besides, am I wrong? Her picture scroll is a mess. She just relied on a professional explorer to get out of Chilangdi." After looking around, the picture was blurry, and even the location was difficult to determine. The first wave of popularity was even achieved by being scolded! So what if I didn't give her a few words along with Rui? Why is she so popular with me? I didn’t shamelessly fight with a wild man just to be taken into the restricted area like her!”

This series of heartfelt words were obviously more sincere than the previous ones. Ma Cong only felt a faint headache when he heard them: "In short, you were stepped on by your peers and then angered by the audience, so you decided to go to the restricted area in person to get stepped back? "

"Yes!" Shu Quan said resolutely, "Not only do I have to go there in person, but I also have to do a better job than her! I have had experience in outdoor adventures before and have read a lot of front-line information about Qinglu Master. I can definitely do it well if I prepare carefully. !”

"Well, the motive is indeed quite sufficient, but..." Ma Cong said, his tone becoming more and more solemn, "This is not the reason for you to continuously break through the restricted area, or even the Desolate Barrier. Tell me, how did you break through all the way? Come here and then spend five days leisurely surviving in the wilderness? "

Shu Quan said: "I... to be honest, I don't even know. At first, I just planned to walk around the red ridge area, seriously do a more professional outdoor program, and fight back. But wait for me When they arrived at the edge of the restricted area, they unexpectedly discovered a path that no one had ever walked before. Not only could it avoid the minefields that many Green House owners had stepped on, but it also... seemed to lead directly to the outside of the Dinghuang Barrier. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. , I couldn’t miss it, so I temporarily adjusted my supplies and walked directly along the path here.”

Ma Cong looked solemn, took out a map and spread it on the ground: "Mark out that small road for me."

Shu Quan nodded, stretched out his hand and drew a line on the map: "It's probably this road."

Ma Cong pondered for a long time and then asked: "You have survived in the wilderness for five days and you haven't encountered any accidents?"

"No..." Shu Quan said, "You, you don't doubt that I have transformed into wasteland, right? This is really not true! Originally, under the threat of Rongcheng to open up wasteland, ordinary wild animals did not dare to approach at all. I have observed many Qinglu In the Lord’s Picture Scroll, the west of Chilong Land is basically a flat river. Only a hundred miles away from the barrier, there are occasional signs of wild demons, so I dare to set up a tent here. "

"Well, if you only look at the painting of the Lord of Qinglu, it is indeed safe within a hundred miles, but in fact, as long as it is within the scope of the wilderness, then wild things are everywhere. Not to mention the irrational Wild Beast Sect . Even some desolate demons who are as powerful as transformed gods may be forced to die under force and use their bodies for exploration."

"ah?"

At this moment, Shu Quan's surprise was pure and natural, without any pretense.

Ma Cong explained: "Or let me explain it more clearly, if it is really safe outside the barrier, how can it be possible that there is only your tent? The Dinghuang Army has already set up various checkpoints outside the barrier! Why do you think We haven’t set it up all this time? Is it because we are not as professional as you, or because we are more afraid of death than you?”

Shu Quan muttered for a moment, and his face gradually turned pale.

"Theoretically, this tent could be overturned by the wild demon at any time and at any time, and because you were not included in the field of vision before, let alone support from the rear, they may not even be able to collect your body... but you are actually safe here. Lived in a tent for five days. Now, give me a reasonable reason."
