Road Survival: My RV is a Moving Castle

"what happened?"

Xu Xingshi was somewhat puzzled. Although he found it strange, he still put down the cleaver he had raised.

Xie Xunling was helped up by Xie Xunjin and walked over there. Then, she took a small red, fluffy ball out of the net bag.

"Oh my god, be careful! It might be poisonous and bite!"

Seeing her so casually holding the little monster in her arms, Xu Xingshi was so frightened that he kept his distance from her.

Xie Xunling reached out and touched the little dumpling's head, and under the two people's puzzled gazes, she spoke.

"It just formed a master-pet contract with me!"

......

Song Chiyu and Kaka walked forward, their steps uneven, and soon they saw those few particularly conspicuous black stones.

It's about 200 meters away from where Xu Xingshi is.

It wasn't far, but many mounds blocked the view, so neither side could see what was happening on the other side.

Song Chiyu carefully observed the degree of softening of the surrounding red mud and realized that she had reached her limit at this point.

If you take two more steps forward, you will sink directly into the red mud and have your feet melted away.

Those pebbles were located about 10 meters directly in front of Song Chiyu.

We can't get through this.

Looking at the pile of stones that gleamed with an alluring black luster, Song Chiyu squatted down, reached out and patted Kaka's little head, and whispered.

"Kaka, could you bring those stones over for me?"

She raised her arm and pointed precisely straight ahead.

Kaka's defenses are formidable; this red slime can't harm it in the slightest.

Therefore, sending Kaka the little warrior to retrieve the pet stone is the best and most convenient method.

Having received Song Chiyu's precise instructions, Kaka squinted his little eyes and looked in the direction indicated.

Once the target is locked in, then without hesitation, take a step forward.

It is not large in size, but its limbs are slender.

After walking only a few dozen meters, my limbs started to sink in.

Kaka remained calm. Suddenly, it plopped down on the soft red mud, tucked in its limbs and tail, and curled up into a small ball.

Then, the round ball began to spin and roll forward on the soft red mud.

They arrived at the location of the pet stone in no time.

With its two paws, it grabbed a handful of stones in each hand and then bit two more into its mouth, finally carrying all the stones away.

Before long, Kaka returned triumphantly, tossing the black stone he brought back in front of Song Chiyu.

Then, with a hint of disgust, he wiped the mud off his mouth and patted the dust off his two little paws.

Song Chiyu patted Kaka's little head with satisfaction and praised him.

Then the number of black stones was counted.

There are 8 pieces in total, each different in size and shape, except for the same glossy black color.

Song Chiyu carefully placed the eight stones together with the one Xu Xingshi had given her and stored them in her spatial storage.

Then, together with Kaka, they returned the way they came.

Upon returning, Song Chiyu immediately noticed the red stain on Xie Xunling's clothing.

At the same time, a notification box slowly appeared next to the little red pom-pom.

[Note: This is a slime monster, born from red slime. It's prone to falling in love at first sight and will not change owners once it has chosen one.]

A new pet?

Song Chiyu picked up Kaka, took out two tissues, and wiped the dirty parts of its body.

Xie Xunling immediately nodded emphatically.

She came running over, clutching the little slime monster in her arms, and began to explain the whole story with a face full of excitement.

The process was incredibly thrilling and exhausting, leaving Xu Xingshi, who was standing nearby, with a bitter expression on his face.

"You're exaggerating! I'm not as bad as you make me out to be!"

Xu Xingshi couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but retort.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xunling pointed angrily to the purplish-red thumbprint on her philtrum.

"Look at this! You've really turned me into a miserable person! I look so ugly!"

Xu Xingshi looked in the direction she was pointing and immediately saw a distinct red mark between her lips and nose.

If you don't look closely, she really does resemble a Japanese officer living a simple life.

"Pfft—hahahahaha."

The more he looked, the more he wanted to laugh, and the more he wanted to laugh, the harder he had to hold it in. Finally, under Xie Xunling's resentful gaze, he clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.

Beside them, Song Chiyu watched the two bickering and shook her head helplessly.

He then explained to Xie Xunjin, who was standing next to him, the degree of softening of the red clay directly in front of him.

"I have a flying blanket, so I'll just fly the rest of the way."

Song Chiyu glanced at the sun overhead.

We lost a lot of time on the way, leaving only one hour for exploration.

Xie Xunjin had no objections to Song Chiyu's arrangements.

They really need to hurry now.

His chalk delivery system has a cooldown period, meaning it can only be used once every three days.

Therefore, if we cannot finish exploring today, we will at least have to wait until the day after tomorrow to use the teleportation chalk.

So, it's not worth wasting several days of everyone's time on a treasure map.

After resting, everyone boarded Song Chiyu's flying carpet.

The blanket is 2x2 meters in size, so it's not crowded when everyone sits on it.

However, it can only be used for one hour a day, so Song Chiyu has to calculate the time carefully.

Before long, the fully loaded flying carpet followed the route on the map and slowly flew forward above the red mud.

The further you fly, the higher the temperature becomes under the flying carpet.

Song Chiyu glanced at the ground out of the corner of his eye and realized that, at some point, the ground had turned into a completely red, soft mud.

Bubbling red water bubbles occasionally rose from the soft mud, followed by emitting hot white smoke.

It was both suffocating and hot.

On the blanket, everyone took out pockets from their backpacks and put them on.

Even Kaka was covered with a white mask by Xie Xunling.

Finally, after flying for about twenty minutes, the group arrived at the final location of the treasure—an active volcano.

The mud near the volcano was normal soil, so everyone jumped in voluntarily after arriving.

Song Chiyu landed last, gently rolled up the flying blanket, and put it into her backpack.

The group was located at the foot of an active volcano.

This mountain is estimated to be over a thousand meters high, which is quite small compared to ordinary mountain peaks and mountain ranges.

A constant rumbling sound came from the center of the volcano, and no one knew when it would erupt lava.

However, it seems that there is only this one volcano within a radius of a hundred miles.

Seeing this, Song Chiyu became even more wary of the seemingly unremarkable active volcano in front of him.

The sunlight overhead had disappeared, and light gray clouds slowly covered the sky.

The surrounding light suddenly dimmed.

In the distance, the sky and earth form a line, their colors gradually merging and becoming uniform.

The dark red and light gray blend together, making everything around them look like an endless hell.

The little furball in Xie Xunling's arms looked a little scared and was moving around restlessly, as if it didn't want to stay in this place for even a second longer.

However, with Xie Xunling's gentle reassurance, her emotions finally calmed down a bit.

Compared to this, Kaka, who remained silent and stayed by Song Chiyu's side without leaving for a moment, seemed a bit too calm.
