Road Survival: My RV is a Moving Castle

[Ding! The third level of the Secret Realm Adventure – the Cloud Map – is now open! Players, please begin your exploration!]

As soon as the system finished speaking, a map obscured by black mist appeared in front of Song Chiyu.

It's exactly the same as the map before the islands and grasslands are unlocked.

Above the clouds!!

Song Chiyu's heart skipped a beat. After exiting the fog map, he looked up and around.

Before my eyes, deep blue and pure white intertwine, with the azure sky seemingly within reach above and a vast sea of ​​soft, white clouds beneath my feet.

It was an endless expanse of clouds, with rays of sunlight shooting like sharp arrows into the sea of ​​clouds not far away.

The sky was bathed in the glow of the setting sun, and it seemed so close that it was right in front of us.

The ever-changing sea of ​​clouds stretches endlessly, seemingly dividing the sky and the earth into two separate spaces.

Here, besides the vast sea of ​​clouds beneath Song Chiyu's feet, countless cotton candy-like clouds float in the air.

They look like snow skin mooncakes floating in mid-air, white and soft, and faintly exuding an unusual fragrance.

If we were to name them, we could call them Floating Cloud Islands.

Song Chiyu squatted down in disbelief and reached out to touch the clouds at her feet.

It has a very soft and bouncy texture, unlike marshmallows which stick to your hands when you touch them. Instead, it has a chewy texture like QQ candy.

She instantly became interested, grabbed a ball of snow-white flesh from the ground, and kneaded it in her hands. The feeling was truly wonderful.

"Wait, what happened to the 'Approaching Science' segment?! Is this cloud really scientific???"

Song Chiyu immediately thought of the principles of cloud formation explained by his high school geography teacher.

Is this really a cloud?

Before Song Chiyu could figure it out, a strange "chirp chirp" sound came from below.

"Chirp chirp~ Chirp—"

Looking down, I saw a small white ball, about the size of a glutinous rice ball, appearing on the cloud.

It was happily skipping forward, humming a chirping song.

Suddenly, I felt myself bump into something. When I looked up, I saw Song Chiyu, this "giant monster," appear.

The little creature swayed its body, its tiny black bean-like eyes widening as it stared at Song Chiyu in shock.

"Hey, what is this?"

A hint of curiosity surfaced in Song Chiyu's eyes.

Just as I was about to pick up the little thing that looked like a glutinous rice ball, I saw the other person jump back in terror as if they had seen a monster.

"Chirp chirp chirp! Chirp chirp—"

It has no hands or feet, its whole body is round, with only two black bean eyes and a small mouth.

Upon seeing Song Chiyu, it immediately turned around and ran away like a frightened little rabbit, hopping and leaping as if it wished it could instantly grow eight legs.

As it turned to run away, for some unknown reason, a black tinge suddenly rose from the bottom of the little dumpling's originally pure white body, spreading upwards.

That patch of black stood out starkly against the backdrop of the snow-white sea of ​​clouds.

Song Chiyu squatted on the spot, staring blankly at the escaped little white ball of fluff.

[Yun Lingzi: A product of the Cloud Sea, timid and shy, easily turns black when startled, and loves novelties. Ability: Creation]

"Creation? How do you create things?"

Upon seeing the instructions, Song Chiyu felt a surge of curiosity and followed the little dumpling's retreating figure with her gaze.

She immediately got up and followed Yun Lingzi in the direction she was going.

The little fat worm had just fallen into the clouds, so it was now so scared that it clung tightly to the dull, yellow fluffy creature and wouldn't let go.

The man, the bear, and the insect were all filled with curiosity about this place.

As they walked, more and more cloud spirits appeared on the surrounding clouds.

They were all doing their own thing, but when they saw Song Chiyu and his group, they immediately hid or ran away.

If you really can't dodge in time, just jump up and dive headfirst into the sea of ​​clouds, leaving only your chubby, bouncy little bottom showing.

However, upon closer inspection, they don't seem to have any aggressive intentions; they are more afraid and curious.

After Song Chiyu passed by, these little creatures poked their heads out again, secretly looking in Song Chiyu's direction, and the bolder ones even followed him quietly.

If Song Chiyu were to turn around, he would surely see a whole bunch of plump white glutinous rice balls following behind him.

However, her attention was now focused on the first little dumpling that had escaped.

Song Chiyu watched as the snow-white little ball of dough gradually turned black.

At first, there was only the bottom, but now only the top remains, with the original white color still showing.

The white dumpling is about to turn into a black dumpling.

The description only mentions the white ball of fluff and doesn't explain what happens when it turns black.

However, Song Chiyu had a gut feeling that following it might trigger an unlocking quest.

As we walked, the floating cloud islands overhead gradually diminished, leaving only the endless sea of ​​clouds beneath our feet.

Just then, Song Chiyu suddenly saw that many black dots seemed to have appeared in the middle of the blue and white sky and clouds directly in front of him.

The closer you get, the bigger those black spots become.

She watched helplessly as the little dumpling turned completely black, then leaped into the foremost black dot.

Song Chiyu saw clearly that the black dot was actually a large, dark cloud cluster floating above the sea of ​​clouds.

Shifting my gaze to look around, I discovered that the entire area in the sky was filled with these dark clouds, which looked quite oppressive.

Their shape and size are no different from ordinary clouds, only their color is different.

Where the dark clouds float, the sea of ​​clouds below has a large gap, as if it has been corroded by something, and the gap now corresponds to the dark clouds above.

Song Chiyu slowly approached, when suddenly, the system's cold voice came from above.

【Exploration Mission 1: Purify the Cloud Sunspots (0/99)】

"Black clouds? Are these the black clouds in front of us?"

Song Chiyu moved slightly closer, reaching out to touch it, but then withdrew her hand after thinking about it.

That white ball of fluff had no offensive capabilities, but who knows what it might be like after it turns evil.

However, just as she withdrew her hand, a jolt of electricity suddenly struck her from the dark clouds before her eyes, moving so fast it was almost instantaneous.

However, Song Chiyu stopped even faster, and in the end, he only felt static electricity on his fingertips.

It feels tingly and numb; I'm not injured.

【Cloud Blackie: Formed from corrupted cloud spirit particles, it can devour the sea of ​​clouds and release lightning and ozone. Likes: Rare items】

It even releases ozone.

Song Chiyu immediately pulled Daidai back a big step, covering her mouth and nose and putting on a mask.

Inhaling small amounts of ozone is harmless, but prolonged exposure or excessive inhalation can easily trigger asthma and various respiratory diseases.

The first exploration mission has been triggered, but it doesn't explain how to purify.

Song Chiyu frowned slightly and left with Daidai, retreating to a place where they could see the dark clouds.

In her view, the dark cloud actually resembled a storm cloud, as evidenced by the electric current that had just struck her.

Perhaps we could let the dull thundercloud try to subdue those dark clouds.

Thinking of this, Song Chiyu immediately called over Daidai to carry it out.

As soon as the thunderclouds flew out, the sunlight overhead instantly hid to the side.
