"Thanks."
Ma Xiaotao thanked her and took the meat porridge.
As early as Su Luoheng started preparing dinner, she couldn't help but glance at the pot of porridge.
She smelled the fragrant smell and couldn't help but glance at the pot of porridge, but she couldn't save her face at the moment and was too embarrassed to go over to eat.
But now Su Luoheng took the initiative to hand it over.
Of course Ma Xiaotao was happy to accept it.
Now is not the time to be reserved.
So, Ma Xiao took the porridge bowl as he wished, and the alluring aroma hit his nostrils. He held the bowl and took a big mouthful of meat porridge. It was soft, glutinous, sweet, smooth and refreshing, which whetted his appetite.
Here, Su Luoheng poured out a bowl for himself and then covered the remaining porridge inside. At the same time, a few logs were removed from the fire and placed aside, using only a small fire to keep warm.
After all this was done, the meal began.
Compared to Su Luoheng, who moved slowly and leisurely, Ma Xiaotao looked very hungry. She had eaten most of the steaming bowl of meat porridge in the blink of an eye.
Even Su Luoheng couldn't help but look sideways at him.
It's not because Ma Xiaotao eats quickly, but because this girl is really not afraid of being burned! The meat porridge was still steaming hot right out of the pot. I drank it in big sips without waiting for it to cool down.
No wonder this guy can spit fire from his mouth, he seems to be really not afraid of burning.
"No, let's serve it with some dried meat."
With that said, Su Luoheng touched the ring, took out a bag of palm-sized dried meat and threw it to Ma Xiaotao.
"Su Luoheng, your craftsmanship is really good."
Ma Xiaotao took the dried meat and took the time to give Su Luoheng a thumbs up.
"Practice it."
Su Luoheng smiled, casually took out a piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth. In his mind, he couldn't help but remember that when he and Snow Emperor first started living together at Sun Moon College, his cooking skills made a big joke.
Later, it took a lot of effort to improve it to the current level.
"..."
Thinking of this, he glanced at the trees on the right without leaving any trace, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Looking back, she found that there was not much left in the pack of dried meat in Ma Xiaotao's hand, and the bulge in her mouth was filled with dried meat, like a hamster.
Noticing the looks.
Ma Xiaotao, who was caught at the scene, looked slightly embarrassed.
Su Luoheng smiled helplessly and threw another messy bag over.
"..."
After a simple dinner, the two of them ate and drank.
Ma Xiaotao leaned against the bonfire, squinting her eyes in contentment.
A bowl of meat porridge and two bags of dried meat.
Improving relationships is that simple.
As the distance became much closer, the two began to chat. The questions raised were all curious about each other. Of course, both parties had a tacit understanding and did not touch each other's bottom line. Understand what you can and cannot ask.
Su Luoheng also casually mentioned Ma Xiaotao's temper problem.
"Ma Xiaotao, your personality... seems to have calmed down a lot?"
"I remember that your temper was rumored to be very violent. Why has it suddenly changed so much now? Is it rumored like this on purpose?"
As he said that, Su Luoheng looked at Ma Xiaotao thoughtfully.
"The rumors are all true."
Ma Xiaotao admitted generously and then explained slowly.
"My martial spirit is inherited from the first generation of Shrek's Seven Devils. Phoenix Fighter Ma Hongjun's ancestor. In addition to inheriting the talent of the top beast martial spirit, I am also deeply troubled by evil fire."
"Although the evil fire has been suppressed in the body for these years, it can be practiced like a normal soul master. However, as more and more evil fire is accumulated, the difficulty of suppressing it becomes more and more difficult."
"In this case, my character was still affected by this evil fire, and I became more violent and irritable. So the evaluation of me by those in the inner court is not false."
"This method of suppression only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If we continue to allow it to develop, they will one day completely break out. At that time, I will either give up training as a soul master. Or I will be backlashed by the evil fire and become possessed."
"Fortunately, I met you."
"The ultimate ice-type cold air that you penetrated into my body is the biggest nemesis of the evil fire in my body. Without the influence of evil fire on my sanity, my personality has become much calmer."
After saying that, Ma Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see……"
Su Luoheng nodded slightly when he heard the words, thoughtfully.
"So, thank you, Su Luoheng."
"Although you may not know the effect of Ultimate Ice on me, your help to me is real."
"..."
Ma Xiaotao spoke sincerely and expressed her sincere thanks.
A hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes as he looked at Su Luoheng.
To be honest, Su Luoheng was really helpful this time.
The process of resisting the erosion of evil fire is really difficult. Not only do you have to stay sane in the state of burning desire, but you also have to bear the pain caused by the backlash in your body.
The physical and mental torture was simply worse than death.
In addition, what's even more terrible is that whenever the evil fire breaks out, there will be a strange voice ringing in my mind all the time.
Although Ma Xiaotao couldn't describe that kind of sound, she would feel inexplicably irritated whenever she heard that sound. The slightest stimulus from the outside world will ignite anger.
As time went on, her temper became more and more irritable.
It was not until the cold air entered my body that these voices finally became silent.
For Ma Xiaotao, it was as if the whole world suddenly became quiet, and she felt a tranquility that she had never experienced since suppressing the evil fire.
This help means a lot to her.
Because of this, even though she knew her behavior might violate her loyalty to Shrek Academy, she still wanted to leave a reminder of that piece of time soul bone to Su Luoheng.
"Then how long can you keep the evil fire calm now?" Su Luoheng asked.
"The teacher said that it will take about five years. If you are lucky, there should be no problem in breaking through the Title Douluo."
Ma Xiaotao smiled casually.
She was very satisfied to be clean for five years.
"..."
Ma Xiaotao and Su Luoheng only had two intersections in total. So while chatting, it was inevitable to mention the grudges that arose during the last Soul Fighting Competition.
"Speaking of which, you were really harsh at that time!"
"If I hadn't dodged quickly, your arrow would have broken off more than just an arm."
Ma Xiaotao put her hands on the ground, recalling the fighting scene in the ring, and rubbed her right arm that suddenly felt pain, with a look of fear in her eyes.
That time was the most serious injury he had suffered since becoming a soul master.
Su Luoheng's explosive strength at that time really shocked her: his right arm was broken by an arrow, Dai Yueheng fell on the spot, etc. These are still vivid in her mind now.
"Didn't you strike first?"
Su Luoheng raised his eyebrows and asked: "You almost killed my teammates, so I fought back? Speaking of this, your actions at that time were aimed at killing people, right? Don't you want to explain?"
"this……"
Ma Xiaotao was silent for a while and said frankly.
"I was affected by the evil fire at the time. My emotions were very unstable and I couldn't control my strength. In addition, I wanted to weaken your strength for the next two rounds, so I didn't stop when faced with the obstruction of your teammates."
"But I originally thought that the referee is also a Titled Douluo, so it shouldn't be a problem to stop my attack at the critical moment. At most, this blow will only cause serious injury and lose the ability to continue the game."
"I didn't expect that guy couldn't even stop a soul emperor's attack. After that, since we have already shown real fire, we can only continue to fight hard."
"You also know what happened next."
"Although there were external factors, it was mainly my fault. If I had knocked him out of the ring normally, this game wouldn't have turned out to be so tragic later on."
"..."
Ma Xiaotao sighed.
The situation at that time was complicated. But in the final analysis, the subsequent series of grievances started when he almost killed the member of the Sun and Moon Team.
However, Su Luoheng had no intention of going into details.
Xiao Xiafeng's revenge was avenged on the spot, Ma Xiaotao's arm was broken, and Dai Yueheng's life and death were enough to offset it. The reason why Su Luoheng mentioned this matter was to put the grudges aside and better cope with the next task.
Now it seems that the results are very good.
"I'll leave the encirclement and suppression mission to my teammates...?"
After a short pause, Su Luoheng turned his head and looked at Ma Xiaotao, "I hope we can have a good cooperation."
"Um."
Ma Xiaotao nodded in response.
"..."
The frank and public conversation ended, and the night was already dark.
According to the order of the vigil arranged from the beginning, Su Luoheng was responsible for the first half of the night, and then Ma Xiaotao took over to watch the second half of the night.
After Ma Xiaotao returned to the tent for a while, Su Luoheng took off the small pot placed on the fire to keep warm and placed it outside the camp. At the same time, a candied haws and three bags of dried meat were placed on top.
"..."
After doing all this, Su Luoheng returned to the bonfire.
Not long after waiting, a cold wind suddenly blew through.
As the bonfire swayed, the small pot, candied haws, and three bags of dried meat placed on the ground were all swept away by the cold wind.
"Haha~"
Su Luoheng's lips curved into a slight smile.
He thought: Who just sent a message saying no? The mouth is too straight~~
After finding a suitable tree trunk to lean on, Su Luoheng took out another candied haws in his mouth, held his head with both hands and looked up at the bright and gorgeous starry sky.
The moonlight tonight is particularly beautiful.
The only drawback is that there is no beautiful woman by his side.
However, although Sister Xue is not around, it is rare to be able to enjoy the autumn evening breeze, eat candied haws, and look at the same starry sky.
if……
If time could stop at this moment...
Just looking at it like this, it feels good...
[Right, Sister Xue? 】
【……】
Su Luoheng thought silently in his heart.
Although I didn't get a response, I already had the answer in my heart.
After finishing the candied haws in a hurry, Su Luoheng took out a new one and continued to chew and swallow it slowly while looking at the night sky.
"..."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the camp.
Looking at his favorite spicy jerky and Su Luoheng's favorite candied haws. Then he stretched out his long white fingers, picked up a piece of dried meat, put it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
"Actually, the candied haws on a stick is not bad~"
The corners of Snow Emperor's lips curved into a faint smile without leaving any trace.
Staring at the night sky, his ice blue eyes were exceptionally clear.
…
…
Time flies.
After a week of long journey, Su Luoheng and Ma Xiaotao finally entered the Douling Mountains within the Douling Empire. The first evil soul master encirclement and suppression mission has officially begun!
According to the information provided by Shrek, the two quickly found an evil soul master's outer stronghold. According to intelligence, there are probably nearly a dozen evil soul masters inside, led by two evil soul kings.
After arriving at the first mission location, the two were not in a hurry to take action. First, observe the situation from the outside and make sure the information is correct before deciding on the next step. This series of arrangements was naturally made by captain Ma Xiaotao.
Speaking of intelligence issues, Su Luoheng, who was not a member of Shrek's prosecutorial team, was not eligible to enjoy additional intelligence treatment except for the mission location.
However, if Ma Xiaotao, a member of Shrek's prosecutorial team, takes the initiative to reveal it, that would be a different matter. Anyway, Shrek didn't explicitly prohibit the exchange of tactics between team members.
In short: everything is to destroy the evil soul master.
I don’t know if it’s because his irritable personality has changed after removing the evil fire, or because of some other reason. Since entering the mission range of the Douling Mountains, Ma Xiaotao suddenly became much more cautious.
Even though he had figured out the situation of the personnel inside, locked the positions of the two evil soul kings, and found that his side was far stronger than the other side, Ma Xiaotao still said that he wanted to look for opportunities.
"..."
Continue to wait for another quarter of an hour.
Su Luoheng couldn't help it anymore and asked in a low voice.
"How long do you want to be ready?"
"..."
He really couldn't fathom Ma Xiaotao's thoughts now.
You must know that with the combined strength of yourself and Ma Xiaotao, you can fight even Contra. Encircling and suppressing most of the evil soul master's camps was easy.
But now, facing an evil soul master camp with only two soul kings in the highest combat power, they repeatedly investigated and hesitated to take action. Isn't this a bit too cautious?
Su Luoheng frowned and looked at Ma Xiaotao.
"A small evil soul master camp, how many more times do we need to explore?"
"You're a seventh-ring warrior soul saint with a strong attack ability. You can't possibly be afraid of the soul king, right?"
"..."
When Ma Xiaotao heard this, her expression froze.
Su Luoheng's words once again touched some of her memories.
For example:
Soul fighting competition, encirclement and suppression of evil soul masters;
Death Messenger, Death Omen Star Douluo...
At the beginning, their Shrek team had two soul emperors, five soul kings, several soul sects, and a luxurious lineup protected by a super douluo. As a result, they suffered heavy losses at the hands of an evil soul king.
It was also because of the heavy price paid in the roundup of the evil soul master that Ma Xiaotao became extra cautious every time he performed a mission from then on. There is even a situation where everyone is in a state of panic.
Seeing that Ma Xiaotao was still hesitating.
Su Luoheng held the Obsidian Gaze in his hand, his eyes slightly focused.
The projection eye has already been opened and is ready to go.
"Ma Xiaotao, what do you want to do?"
"When will we take action? Please tell me exactly what time it will take place."
"..."
After a long silence, Ma Xiaotao finally spoke.
"Take action."
"We still have to be cautious and make sure..."
"咻咻咻——"
Before he finished speaking, Su Luoheng had already opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and three sharp arrows transformed from level 6 projection soul tools shot out of the sky in the shape of a glyph!
