Road Survival: My RV is a Moving Castle

Chapter 51 Harvesting the Mutant Peach Tree

A strange energy emanated from Song Chiyu's palm and flowed through the tree roots throughout the peach tree.

Wherever it went, it automatically appeared slowly in Song Chiyu's divine sense.

She saw the tree root they had just come out of, the crystal cave from yesterday, the peach gum flowing like a river, the mutated spider's lair, and she also saw... a slowly beating heart.

That's the heart of the peach tree!

Song Chiyu carefully bypassed it with his divine sense, without disturbing it, and continued his exploration.

Finally, all the details inside the entire tree became clear.

Song Chiyu seemed to have become one with the tree; she could sense that it was asleep, but her body was unusually weak.

The peach gum inside it used to flow as vividly as blood, but now it has all solidified.

This peach tree, which looked taller than any other tree in the entire primeval forest, was now as weak as if it were withered and decaying.

After Song Chiyu and the peach tree achieved complete spiritual harmony, she saw its past memories.

Once upon a time, this thousand-year-old peach tree grew lush and vibrant.

Enjoying the sunshine and rain with the surrounding trees, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

But at some point, various mutated creatures began to appear in the tranquil primeval forest, and the peach tree's life underwent a dramatic change.

These mutated plants and animals have taken over its body and the precious natural resources formed within it.

After its internal organs were hollowed out to serve as a nest, its bodily functions deteriorated day by day.

Finally, this thousand-year-old peach tree, like a frail old man, awaited its death.

Until it discovered that it had mutated as well.

It did not want to.

The tree, having lived for a thousand years, had long since become a spirit, and it did not wish to become like the strange and mutated plants and animals around it.

then.

It struggled with mutation and thought, fighting day and night, until finally it chose to sleep to escape.

……

Song Chiyu put herself in the peach tree's shoes, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

The process of bringing the mutated thousand-year-old peach tree into the space was exceptionally smooth, as simple as collecting a steamed bun.

Entering the space through her divine sense, she saw that the peach tree that was originally in front of her was now firmly rooted in the black soil.

The moment it entered, she could clearly sense all the treasures inside the tree.

There are caves full of energy crystals, hallucinogenic white mist, peach gum from tree roots, and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum...

There were also all sorts of other rare and precious treasures, which Song Chiyu had never heard of or seen before.

This peach tree is a treasure trove!

Song Chiyu gave the 500 jin of crystal that No. 98 had requested, and then picked up Daidai.

Number 98 accepted the crystal, carefully inspected it, and then took the dork back for repair.

Under Song Chiyu's watchful gaze, Daidai, with her eyes closed, slowly floated into the air and then disappeared.

The moment Daidai disappeared, Song Chiyu felt as if a huge hole had been torn in her heart.

A cold wind was blowing into the cave.

She was somewhat lost in thought, and then she couldn't help but repeatedly instruct the system to return completely intact, not to attack it, and not to do anything unexpected to repair it, until No. 98 answered her.

[Beep... Ding! Okay.]

"By the way, when is 001 coming back?"

Thinking of the more reliable 001, Song Chiyu asked again.

Perhaps if 001 were here, she could know about Daidai's situation.

[Ding! The host is not authorized to know this!]

It was that cold voice again, and Song Chiyu's gaze dimmed.

But at least the doll could be repaired, which relieved her.

Only then did Song Chiyu have the mood to carefully ask Xue Di what exactly happened last night.

When she learned that the nightmares were targeting her, she realized that this must be the reason why the system was warning her not to leave the road at night.

Every time night falls, it's the time for these nightmares to revel.

The highway is the only safe zone for players.

but.

How can there be so many?!

According to Xue Di, they killed nearly a thousand nightmares!

Song Chiyu, however, clearly remembered that he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night the night before last and did see dark shadows on both sides of the road.

She didn't know it was a nightmare at the time, but she remembered there were only a dozen or so scattered ones.

The number will not exceed fifty, no matter how many there are.

The nightmares that came at it last night were far more numerous than normal.

Recalling what 001 said before being forcibly taken offline, Song Chiyu's breathing gradually became heavier.

In this world of survival, fighting beasts is not difficult, fighting other people is not easy, but fighting the system is extremely difficult...

After a long while, she finally managed to gather her thoughts.

"Let's go back?"

She took a deep breath and turned to Xue Di.

But she saw that the other person didn't care what she was doing at all, and was comfortably soaking in the stream.

Song Chiyu then turned her attention to the shallow stream in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the more it prickled her skin.

Since we're already here, let's take a good shower.

The incident with Daidai was a lesson, and also a thorn in her side.

Only time will tell what the system's attitude will be.

Suppressing her doubts, Song Chiyu looked at the clear stream in front of her.

Luckily, my space is back now, and all my shoes, socks, and coats are back.

So the man and the mouse enjoyed a rare and refreshing cool bath.

This stream is usually only used by small animals to drink water, so it is very clean, even so clean that there are no fish or shrimp to be seen.

She washed her dirty clothes here as well, and then drew an asterisk in an inconspicuous corner by the stream.

We've taken a bath, collected the trees, and already wasted too much time in this primeval forest.

Without lingering any longer, Song Chiyu used the system's map to bring Xue Di back to the highway.

As soon as I got back to the car, a message popped up on the channel.

Song Chiyu first hung the clean, wet clothes on the empty box to dry, and then turned on the screen.

Xu Jianan: "The blankets and backpacks have been sold out. The supplies have just been sent over. You can take inventory now."

Song Chiyu replied with an OK, then turned around and saw a large pile of materials on the ground.

She counted carefully: 150 units of cotton, 150 units of cloth, 26 units of iron, 45 units of wood, 35 units of rubber, 69 units of plastic, and 25 units of glass.

After confirming that there were no problems, she made an appointment with him to give him another 200 blankets and 200 ordinary backpacks before 6 p.m. that evening.

The other party left only after hearing the confirmed time.

It has to be said that Xu Jian'an is really resourceful. Whenever he seizes an opportunity, he can make a name for himself.

It was thanks to Song Chiyu's 100 backpacks and 100 blankets that he was able to obtain enough food and medicine to heal his wife's injuries.

The couple then started working together to attract customers and make money from the price difference.

After a rare break, Song Chiyu realized that there were still many things she hadn't done that day.

Since Daidai isn't around right now, Xue Di will have to temporarily act as her little (helper)!

She stared at the Snow Emperor with ill intent, and the little snow mouse, who had been waking up but pretending to be asleep, immediately felt the burning gaze behind her.

Finally, under Song Chiyu's coercion and enticement, it could only stand on the two mid-level treasure chests and huff and puff as it began to make blankets and backpacks using the workbench.

Song Chiyu then tallied up the gains from this expedition into the primeval forest.

4 mid-tier treasure chests, 1 fire-type energy stone, 253 mutated wild grapes, 1 snakeskin boot, 1 immunity spray, 2 Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, and a small pile of matsutake mushrooms.

28 pieces of snake meat, several containers filled with water, 1 spiky chestnut, approximately 130 catties of thousand-year-old peach tree glue, approximately 30 catties of energy crystal, and a mutated thousand-year-old peach tree full of treasures.

Although this trip was fraught with danger, the many gains made it all worthwhile.

Song Chiyu put these materials into a specially stored mid-tier treasure chest.

Then open the four mid-tier treasure chests.

[Rubber x39, Bathtub x3, Orange Sapling x6, Iron Block x18]

......

The four mid-tier treasure chests yielded 39 Rubber, 3 Bathtubs, 6 Orange Saplings, 18 Iron Blocks, 3 Bucket Blueprints, 3 Pet Houses, 27 Batteries, and 12 Cold Remedies.

Vehicle Upgrade Card 12, Taro Milk Tea 12, Wood Blocks 24, Plastic 30, Wooden Bow and Arrow Set 3, Cloth 36, Sanitary Napkins 30, Cotton 33.

......

The wooden bow and arrows and the orange sapling both emit a red glow and can be enhanced.

Song Chiyu only has one last chance to unlock today, so he chooses to unlock the orange sapling.

"strengthen"

[Ding! Enhancement successful! 1 orange sapling has been enhanced into 38 mandarin orange saplings]

[Ding! Enhancement successful! 1 tangerine sapling has been enhanced into 25 sugar tangerine saplings]
