Road Survival: My RV is a Moving Castle

Exploring other places with the big black bear would definitely be much safer than her and Xue Di being alone.

Sure enough, many venomous snakes and wild beasts scattered and fled when they saw the black bear passing by.

Among them, Song Chiyu even spotted a tiger, a large creature that had been crouching in the grass, watching its prey.

Because of the passing of the large black bear, they had no choice but to abandon their prey and leave.

Song Chiyu began to feel fortunate about her choice.

I checked the time; more than three hours had passed since I arrived at the island.

As Song Chiyu walked along, looking around, he soon found a task box in a thick pile of grass.

[Ding! Exploration Mission 3: Help the sea turtle get rid of barnacles. Mission Completion: 0%]

Song Chiyu looked closely into the bushes and indeed saw a tortoise shell covered with various round shells.

She didn't say anything, but silently marked the location on the map.

When they finally arrived at the black bear's cave, Song Chiyu and Xue Di stood at the entrance but did not go in.

Only after the black bear had carried all the cubs inside did it signal to leave.

Based on the markings on the map, Song Chiyu immediately led Xue Di back to the grassy area where the giant sea turtle was.

Upon parting the grass, one could see a sea turtle, about two meters long, lying on the ground, constantly writhing its limbs, seemingly in great pain.

Its body is covered with a dense mass of barnacles, some of which have even grown into its flesh, in addition to its shell.

Upon noticing someone approaching, the sea turtle flapped its heavy flippers and struggled to move inside to escape.

But the speed was like it was on 0.25x speed.

Song Chiyu asked Xue Di if he could communicate with sea turtles.

The latter was silent for a moment, then glanced at her with a look that said, "What do you think?"

"Squeak squeak squeak squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!" (How do they communicate when one lives on land and the other lives in the sea?)

"Oh."

It seems so.

Song Chiyu nodded nonchalantly.

But it doesn't matter if we can't communicate. Judging from this turtle's appearance, it doesn't run fast and its attack power isn't high.

You can start using it right away.

She took out two fruit knives from her spatial storage, one for herself and one for Xue Di.

Then he put on a pair of leather gloves.

These barnacles are as hard as stones, and can easily be scratched if you're not careful.

Prepare your tools.

Without saying a word, the man and the rat began to remove the barnacles.

These barnacles grow in layers on the turtle's shell, as if dressing the turtle in a thick coat of grass.

Because of their short arms and legs, the poor sea turtles have no way to deal with them and can only let them perch on their bodies and live there.

They were in immense pain but powerless to do anything about it.

Song Chiyu remembered that when she had insomnia before, she watched a video about removing barnacles from sea turtles to relieve stress.

I never thought I would be able to do it myself one day.

It was quite a unique experience.

Small patches of blood appeared where the fruit knife had scraped, showing how much pain the sea turtle had been in.

Twenty minutes later, all the barnacles on the turtle shell were cleaned off.

Turn the sea turtle over and continue removing the scabs from its belly.

It took another ten minutes for the sea turtle to finally return to its original state.

At first, it resisted when the barnacles were removed, but after realizing what the Songchi fish was doing, it became very cooperative.

[Ding! Exploration Mission 3: Help the sea turtle get rid of barnacles. Mission Completion: 15%]

Only 15%, it seems she needs to find more sea turtles to complete the task.

Song Chiyu looked around and prepared to find a small path to the seaside.

At this moment, the sea turtle on the ground suddenly moved closer and lay down at Song Chiyu's feet, trying to pull at his trouser leg.

It seemed afraid that Song Chiyu would leave, and as soon as it sensed the slightest movement from her, it immediately grabbed her shoes.

This left Song Chiyu somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

She already took care of everything for it, so why is she still blaming her?

At this moment, the sea turtle suddenly emitted a series of strange cries.

This sound is different from the sound produced by a normal throat; it is more like a sound wave.

Shortly after the sound appeared, Song Chiyu felt rustling sounds coming from all around him.

It was as if something was approaching her from all directions.

What's the situation?

She became wary and slowly retreated towards the tree, leaning her back against it.

The next second, a large group of sea turtles with thick barnacles on their backs crawled out of the grass, a huge, dark mass, numbering at least seventy or eighty if not a hundred.

All sorts of turtles, big and small, gathered around, their eyes filled with tears, looking pitifully at Song Chiyu.

Being stared at by such a large group of eyes made Song Chiyu feel slightly uncomfortable.

They were probably summoned by the sea turtle at their feet; they were all suffering from barnacles and wanted to get rid of them.

Seeing so many sea turtles, Song Chiyu seemed to see a progress bar rapidly reaching 100%.

Great, saves me the trouble of looking for it myself.

Song Chiyu sat on a large rock, picked up a fruit knife, and hummed a little tune as she picked at the fruits one by one.

These sea turtles were also very polite, and they lined up in two rows on their own initiative. The larger sea turtles lined up on Song Chiyu's side, and the smaller ones went to Xue Di's side.

It seems they have a pretty clear understanding of their own positioning.

Even after cleaning the barnacles, the sea turtles didn't leave; they stayed around the Songchi fish, seemingly waiting for their companions to finish.

Song Chiyu's hands moved quickly, and because he had picked so many pieces, he was both fast and accurate.

Looking at the two long lines in front of her, she inexplicably thought of the days when she had to get a nucleic acid test.

Every day, the moment I open my eyes, I have to start queuing.

By picking through them one by one, the progress bar for Exploration Task 3 quickly reached 100%.

[Ding! Exploration Mission 3: Help the sea turtle get rid of barnacles. Mission completion: 100%, completed. Map exploration progress: 51%. Please keep up the good work!]

On the map, half of the black fog gradually dissipated, revealing various markings.

This includes sea turtle nests.

Looking at the remaining few sea turtles, Song Chiyu pressed on and quickly cleaned the barnacles off their bodies.

All the sea turtles were happily patting the ground or circling around bumping into each other, expressing their joy.

Among them, several of the largest giant turtles gave Song Chiyu six colorful pearls the size of kumquats.

The pearl shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight; the finished product looked quite impressive.

Song Chiyu gladly accepted the pearl, feeling that his hard work had paid off.

Seeing this, all the sea turtles hurried away, their steps light and agile.

Her lithe figure was so much lighter and more agile than when she arrived.

Song Chiyu picked up one of the colorful pearls and examined it closely.

In reality, a pearl this big would be worth a lot of money.

It's a pity, I don't know if I'll be able to go back in the future.

As she was thinking, she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, exactly the same dizziness she had felt when she first arrived here.

When Song Chiyu opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in front of the entrance to the secret realm.

What's going on? You're back so quickly?

She hasn't even finished exploring the entire island!
