Chapter 2988 We Are Not in a Hurry
In people's minds, the desert, in addition to being mysterious, represents death.
Once you are trapped in the desert, all kinds of bizarre things will happen, and you will eventually be exhausted and die in the desert.
But these are just rumors. Xiao Yi walked in the desert with ease and took Jiang Wan through a sand dune.
"Xiao Yi, why do I feel like you are very familiar with this desert?"
Jiang Wan asked, Xiao Yi didn't even need positioning equipment. He knew exactly where there were poplar trees and where there were ponds in the desert.
At the beginning, Jiang Wan was still worried that it would be very troublesome if she was thirsty and had no water to drink. Now it seems that she is completely worried.
"Because when I was in the army, I often made wild survival plans in this desert."
Xiao Yi held a short knife in his hand and cut off all the outer skin of something that looked like a human arm.
“So this place is like my own backyard to me, give me a bite and a taste.”
"What? Can this be eaten?"
"You must be hungry all morning. Let's try it to replenish your strength first."
Jiang Wan was very curious, could what Xiao Yi was holding really be edible? But Xiao Yi said a lot, and they now have no second option.
She tried to take a bite, and after chewing it for a few times, she couldn't bear the taste and spat it out with a sound. Jiang Wan frowned and said.
"What is this! It has an earthy smell and a bitter taste. It's so unpalatable!"
As if he had expected this result, Xiao Yi laughed a few times, bit off a piece, and ate it with relish.
Jiang Wan watched for a long time, but she didn't see Xiao Yi spit it out. He really ate it. Xiao Yi could accept this strange taste.
"This is a plant that grows in the desert. Although it doesn't look very eye-catching, it can store underground water in its rhizomes. Even if it doesn't rain for a whole year, it can survive well."
Xiao Yi explained that when he was training in the desert, he suffered a lot because combat training often lasted a week.
For a week, they were given only one pack of compressed biscuits as rations. One pack of compressed biscuits could not last even one day. For this reason, if they wanted to pass the training camp, they had to find a way to solve the food problem.
"There are many things that can be eaten in the desert. This is already quite delicious. The bitter taste is due to its medicinal properties and its ability to clear away heat and detoxify."
"Okay, then I'll take another bite..."
"You have to chew it slowly to let your mouth adapt to the taste. It will definitely not be tolerated like you did."
Xiao Yi hasn't told Jiang Wan yet that a group of them went crazy looking for food. They could catch all the voles within one kilometer of the Gobi Desert.
This time, Jiang Wan followed Xiao Yi's example, biting off some and chewing slowly. A bitter taste spread in her mouth, and she swallowed the juice without holding back.
"You are a young lady from the Jiang family. If anyone knew that you and I were eating this here, we would be laughed at to death."
"The current Jiang family has no right to laugh at me."
"Why do you say this?"
Jiang Wan did not continue. After returning this time, she would leave China to prepare and wait to marry into the Xiao family.
"It's nothing... Xiao Yi, thank you. Being with you has made me understand many things."
"Why are you saying all this all of a sudden?"
"It's just some thoughts in my heart. My brother has always admired you. It can be seen that he also wants to make some changes. If you have time, teach him more."
This is the biggest thing in Jiang Wan's heart. Her younger brother has a pretty good personality, so he can't just be useless for the rest of his life.
Jiang Yang lacks someone to guide him, and Xiao Yi is the most suitable person. If he follows Xiao Yi, Jiang Wan will have nothing to worry about.
"It sounds like you are leaving China. Why are you leaving?"
"Xiao Yi, you should also know that there are some things in the Jiang family that still require me to go back. If I leave, Jiang Yang will leave it to you."
Xiao Yi didn't worry too much, he nodded, this can still be done.
"I promise you this. It's eleven o'clock in the morning. If we walk for another three hours, we can cross this desert."
"You are like a living map. No wonder you are not worried at all, but..."
"Just what?"
Jiang Wan had been paying attention to her surroundings from the beginning. She was a little worried and said to Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, do you think those who are chasing you will not show up if they leave so easily?"
"You mean they'll still show up, right?"
"They obviously wanted to get rid of you at all costs before. It was just a sandstorm. I don't think it will stop their actions."
Xiao Yi nodded. He also thought about this, but he didn't tell Jiang Wan.
"It seems that you and I thought together. Those people were stopped by the sandstorm and did not continue to pursue us, but it does not mean that they gave up just like that."
"So I'm thinking that those people will definitely appear. Maybe they are at the place where we must pass. They have laid an ambush in advance, waiting for our appearance."
"As expected of a woman who took over the Jiang family's business at the age of eighteen, her thinking is better than that of your brother. She is not on the same level at all."
Jiang Wan's analysis was very accurate. Until now, there has been no trace of those people, which means that those people have some concerns in their hearts.
Knowing that Xiao Yi is not an ordinary person, if they concentrate on searching, once the direction is wrong, they will miss this opportunity.
It is not a wise choice to separate. Worried about being killed by Xiao Yi one by one, the best way is to wait and see, waiting for Xiao Yi to appear.
"At this time, you still have the mind to tease me. Since you think of this, do you have any solution?"
"Of course there is. I have survived many disasters. This is not difficult for me."
Xiao Yi looks very confident. Jiang Wan does not seem to need to deliberately remind Xiao Yi for this. The two continue to cross the desert.
At this moment, at the edge of the desert, there is a city in front. This is the closest route to the desert and a place that must be passed.
Five off-road vehicles are hidden behind the sand dunes to prevent special situations. At this moment, the five of them have chosen a hidden place and are waiting for the target to appear.
"Are we just waiting here? What if he gets trapped in the desert? Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
"You underestimate him too much. How could the death god of the Chinese Wolf Warriors be trapped in such a desert? Be alert and don't be careless."
Believe that Xiao Yi will definitely appear, the five people made the most rigorous arrangements at this location, waiting for Xiao Yi's arrival.
As long as Xiao Yi appears, the three sniper rifles will aim at him. No matter how strong his cultivation is, it is impossible to avoid him. They have to complete the young master's mission in order to survive.
