Road Survival: My RV is a Moving Castle

Chapter 373 Crossing the Red Muddy Ground

Looking around, the entire area was covered in soft red mud, even the undulating hills were covered with red mud.

There appears to be a tall mountain in the distance, which is clearly visible from this unobstructed area.

The mountaintop was shrouded in thick white fog, making it impossible to see what was happening up there.

As I walked, the surrounding temperature grew hotter and hotter.

It's even hotter than on a desert highway.

Song Chiyu was wearing a cool and refreshing outfit, so she didn't feel anything special, except that her mouth was dry.

But the remaining few people couldn't take it anymore.

Everyone's face and body were covered in sweat, making their clothes feel sticky.

"I...I'm so hot, I have no energy at all."

Xie Xunling's thick hair looked like it was being directly roasted by the scorching sun.

Sweat was pouring down his forehead, and he couldn't wipe it all away with a tissue.

Due to excessive sweating, all of them experienced symptoms of dehydration.

Song Chiyu also noticed her teammates' situation, but unfortunately she didn't have any more Ice Cool outfits in her inventory.

"Try this, maybe it won't be so hot."

Although there were no cool, damp clothes, there were quite a few ice crystals in the space.

Perhaps this can improve everyone's condition.

Song Chiyu gave each of the three of them two pieces, and also put one in Kaka's backpack side pocket.

The ice crystals are small and easy to carry in your pocket or hold in your hand.

Xie Xunling held the two ice crystals as if they were life-saving pills, and the heat and restlessness in her body quickly disappeared like the receding tide.

Having resolved the temperature issue, the group continued on their way.

The surrounding area was full of uneven mounds; if the red mud were replaced with sand, it would look like a desert.

However, as they walked, they noticed that the texture of the soft red mud under their feet began to change.

The original ground was hard as a rock, like dry French bread, and there were many cracks and bits of sand scattered around.

However, the red clay around here not only lacked any cracks, but was also much softer than before.

A series of footprints, some deep and some shallow, were already faintly visible behind them.

Song Chiyu sensed something was wrong, frowned, and immediately called for a stop.

She crouched down and used her fist knife to poke at the red mud on the ground.

The sharp knives sank into the mud as if they were in an empty field, plunging into the mud without any resistance.

"We can't go any further."

Song Chiyu looked at the faintly damp, soft red mud on the tip of the fist-shaped knife and said in a deep voice.

The further you go, the softer the mud becomes.

This red mud is no ordinary mud; if you get stuck in it, you'll probably melt into mud.

"What should we do? We're not far from the treasure's location; it's on that mountain ahead."

Xu Xingshi said somewhat dejectedly, "It would be such a pity to give up halfway after everyone has worked so hard for so long."

Xie Xunjin seemed to be deep in thought, stroking his chin as he searched for a solution.

Only Song Chiyu's eyes lit up when he noticed what appeared to be a black stone not far ahead.

His appearance is very similar to the one Xu Xingshi gave him.

"Don't worry, everyone, I have a way to get there. You can rest here for a bit."

After saying that, she lifted her leg and walked forward, quickly disappearing behind the raised mound in front of her.

The remaining three people had no objections to what Song Chiyu said, and were actually quite relieved.

"It's a good thing I came on this adventure with you guys, otherwise I don't know how many times I would have died by myself."

Xu Xingshi had already put his machine gun into his backpack, and was holding the map that Sister Yu had given him before she left, and couldn't help but sigh.

Xie Xunling, who was standing next to him, glanced at him somewhat weakly and nodded simply in response.

For some reason, she felt weak and powerless.

It seems like I have a bit of heatstroke.

I felt dizzy, and I could see many stars spinning around above me.

"I......"

Just as Xie Xunling was about to open her mouth to tell Xu Xingshi next to her that she had heatstroke.

The next second, a violent wave of dizziness washed over me.

She rolled her eyes and collapsed onto Xu Xingshi, who was still chatting away.

"Xie Xunling!"

"Looking for Ling!"

Xie Xunling only heard those two familiar shouts before losing consciousness and falling into a state of confusion.

In a hazy state, she felt that she was in an extremely hot place.

Everything around was bright red, with red liquid dripping everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground.

In the middle of this red world, a small, red, fluffy ball stood directly in front of her, staring at her.

Suddenly, the small red ball jumped onto her without warning.

Xie Xunling was startled and immediately started breakdancing on the spot.

However, no matter how much she shook her body, the little red pom-pom seemed to stick to her.

Terrified, she ran and screamed in a panic.

......

"Are you suffering from heatstroke? I have some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in my backpack, Jin-ge, could you get it for me?"

Xu Xingshi helped Xie Xunling up and, seeing that Xie Xunling was sweating profusely, reached out and pinched her philtrum.

No matter how hard he pinched the philtrum and the tiger's mouth, the person in his arms did not react.

Xie Xunjin, standing to the side, looked worried, her brows furrowed deeply.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a red mark on Xie Xunling's ankle.

He guessed that Xie Xunling might have been bitten by some kind of insect in the soft red mud.

"It's not heatstroke, give it to me."

He gently lifted Xie Xunling's head, then took out a bottle of intermediate-level energy liquid from his backpack and carefully poured it into her mouth.

A pale purple, transparent liquid slowly flowed down her lips, melting instantly in her mouth.

Soon, Xie Xunling's eyelashes began to tremble, and then she opened her eyes.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Xu Xingshi looked surprised and immediately asked with concern.

How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?

Xie Xunling was a little confused, seemingly not quite understanding.

One second she was running around in that red world, and the next second she was back.

She turned to look at the two faces filled with concern, then shook her head.

"I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, but my philtrum and the area between my thumb and forefinger hurt terribly."

As soon as Xie Xunling finished speaking, Xu Xingshi, who was standing next to her, awkwardly touched his nose and stood up sheepishly.

"It's alright, it's alright, haha..."

Just then, a small red figure suddenly ran past his feet.

Xu Xingshi immediately took off from the spot and jumped more than a meter high!

"Holy crap, there's a rat! And a red one at that."

His gaze locked onto the direction in which the small red figure had fled, and he quickly drew his net gun and fired it in that direction.

Then, it was seen that something was desperately trying to escape from under the net that had been shot out.

"Chirp, chirp!"

A strange cry rang out from that direction.

Xu Xingshi, holding a large machete, approached that place with a wary expression.

Just as he was about to use his machete to finish off the little monster in front of him, Xie Xunling's shout rang out from behind him.

"Wait, don't kill it yet!"
