Road Survival: My RV is a Moving Castle

After an unknown amount of time, Song Chiyu found herself being carried into a dark, underground cave.

The hole wasn't big; it was just big enough for her to curl up.

After the strange man carrying her let her in, he turned around and blocked the entrance to the cave with a large rock.

Without the light from the cave entrance, Song Chiyu was instantly plunged into complete darkness.

"It smells awful!"

Song Chiyu muttered to himself as he sat up.

It was pitch black all around, and there was a faint smell of damp earth in the air, as if it had been fermented, with a sour smell.

Song Chiyu pulled hard with both hands, breaking the ropes binding her.

Seeing that Xue Di was still struggling, he untied its rope as well.

The hole wasn't big; Song Chiyu couldn't even straighten up.

You have to stay in a semi-squatting position or with your back hunched over.

She took out a luminous pearl from her spatial storage and held it up to examine it.

The luminous pearl, having absorbed sunlight, emitted a white light, like a small sun, filling the entire cave with its radiance.

Song Chiyu asked Xue Di to fix the beads to the wall with glue, while she examined the wall by the light.

The walls were covered with a dense array of strange symbols, creating an atmosphere of mystery.

Song Chiyu couldn't understand it, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were many black spots embedded in the wall.

She tried to pry it off with her hands, but found that as soon as her hands touched the wall, the strange symbol emitted a wave of light.

This seemingly soft and fragile mud wall turned out to be as hard as a copper wall or an iron wall under the light waves.

Song Chiyu looked surprised.

She tried punching, kicking, and stabbing with her knuckles.

With the force she's using now, if she keeps pounding like that, even an ordinary wall would leave a mark, if not a dent.

But the mud wall was completely intact, as if it had never been pounded.

"Amazing!"

Song Chiyu guessed that it was the symbols painted on the wall that made the mud wall stronger.

So she also tried to trace the direction of the symbols and learn how to draw them.

Soon, a three-dimensional image vaguely appeared in Song Chiyu's mind.

After she finished tracing the last stroke, she actually learned how to draw the talisman on the wall.

Song Chiyu originally just wanted to give it a try.

She felt that if she learned this symbol, she could draw it on RVs or weapons later.

This will also make them indestructible and not easily damaged.

I didn't expect to learn it so easily.

When she looked away from the symbols, she noticed a small prompt box next to the black dot embedded in the mud wall.

I was so focused on learning to draw talismans that I didn't even notice.

"Hint: Refined steel, an upgrade material, can be collected using a steel-collecting rod."

Upon reading the prompt, a glint of light flashed in Song Chiyu's eyes.

So this is what high-quality steel looks like!

She had truly searched high and low without finding it, and thought she would have to spend a lot more time looking for it.

Unexpectedly, she ran into him here by sheer chance.

Song Chiyu's lips curled into a smile, and then he took out a steel rod and began collecting.

With the help of the steel rods, the steel that was originally tightly embedded in the wall automatically emerged from within the wall.

Then, with just a gentle tug, the stainless steel is in your hand.

They're as easy to pick as mushrooms on the ground.

Song Chiyu worked for about ten minutes and collected all the refined steel from the surface of the cave wall.

A total of 21.

Because of her collecting, the strange scribbles on the wall were completely destroyed.

She found a spot with the densest concentration of fine steel and used her fist to draw a circle large enough for one person to crawl into.

"Xuedi, can you use glue to remove the mud from this circle?"

She guessed that the stainless steel was definitely more than just the surface; there must be more inside.

Since we're already here, we might as well pick more.

She also took out a shovel and worked together with Xue Di to dig a hole.

Song Chiyu's sixth sense was very accurate.

When the surface layer of mud was dug off, large patches of black spots were indeed revealed inside.

This density is several times higher than in other places.

So, Song Chiyu and Xue Di started working.

One is a steel collector, the other is a mud enthusiast.

Keep digging forward.

The man and the mouse worked diligently, digging for an unknown amount of time.

When Song Chiyu raised his head from the mud wall again, he looked behind him.

Behind them, they had dug out a long, crooked tunnel.

Song Chiyu was digging while bent over, so his back was starting to hurt.

Let's rest here for a while and count the amount of refined steel we just collected.

Feeling a bit hungry, she took out two large meat buns from her spatial storage and gave one to Xue Di.

They counted as they ate.

We just collected 176 pieces of refined steel, and with the ones collected from the cave surface, we have a total of 197.

Great harvest!

However, considering the 3 steel needed to upgrade the RV, and comparing it to these 197...

That's just a drop in the ocean.

At this rate, she'd have to dig 3, and who knows when that would take.

Song Chiyu sighed and finished the remaining buns in two bites.

There's no other way but to get to work.

He then continued to dedicate himself to the work of collecting high-quality steel.

Snow Emperor is also exhausted.

It felt like its body was being hollowed out by the rubber threads.

"Wait, wait a minute, I haven't rested enough yet."

It rubbed its sore arms, feeling so weak it could barely hold a bun.

Seeing this, Song Chiyu told Xue Di to rest some more.

She went to pick them alone.

After collecting for about ten more minutes, Song Chiyu suddenly realized that the mud wall in front of him was rock hard.

She switched the shovel to a fist spike and tried to poke it, and found that the wall felt the same as the wall of the cave she had encountered at the beginning.

Extremely hard.

Song Chiyu realized something was amiss.

So he reached out and tapped the wall twice, and a melodious echo came from inside.

The other side is empty!

She put down the shovel and applied X-ray vision-enhancing liquid to her eyes.

Through a thin but exceptionally hard mud wall, Song Chiyu could actually see a very large space inside.

It's as big as an airport terminal.

However, looking at its mud ceiling, it does seem to be underground.

Song Chiyu spotted her repair chamber at a glance; it was placed right in the center of the hall.

A group of strange people wearing straw hats surrounded him.

She calculated the time; by now, the repair pod should have already healed the monster who saved her.

Sure enough, after a while.

The door to the repair bay popped open automatically, and the strange man named Xiao Yue, who was lying inside, sat up with a bewildered expression.

It was as if they didn't realize where they were.

Judging from their movements and expressions, the strange men surrounding them seemed to be listening to what Xiao Yue was saying.

The next second, all the strange people cried out in shock and then rushed anxiously toward the same door.

Where are you going?

Seeing their hurried manner, Song Chiyu asked in confusion.

It's good that Xiao Yue woke up; she can go inside and retrieve her repair chamber.

This thing is extremely precious; she got it from a top-tier treasure chest.

There are only 3 units in total, and she would be heartbroken if they were broken.

They saw all the strange people in the hall suddenly leave.

Song Chiyu found a piece of fine steel embedded in the symbol and used a steel-collecting rod to collect it.

After they were picked, the symbols that were originally drawn on the wall were destroyed.

Song Chiyu then gently pushed the mud wall with his hand.

The thin layer of mud in front of them collapsed softly onto the ground.
