[Successfully obtained Intermediate Treasure Chest x1. Congratulations, adventurer, for gaining 20 Survival Points.]

The contents of the intermediate treasure chest were ordinary; there were no amazing treasures, but they weren't too disappointing either.

However, in terms of the ease of obtaining it, it is somewhat difficult compared to the desert region.

Although the distance that needs to be walked is relatively short, the difficulty of guarding the box monster has increased.

After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Xi Xi felt that the slightly moldy and even moss-covered treasure chest was not worth keeping.

Without hesitation, she took out all the supplies inside, and the old treasure chest disappeared without a trace with a wisp of light.

As Xi's mother gazed at the large bag of soybeans, a brilliant idea seemed to come to her mind, and she happily busied herself in the kitchen space of the RV.

Xi Xi plopped down in the driver's seat, her eyes fixed on the central control screen, her brows furrowed, lost in thought.

If all future treasure chests are hidden in this type of embedded entrance, then her central control and detection system will be weakened in a sense.

Because this thing simply can't detect those treasure chests buried deep underground!

Thinking of this, Xi Xi couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.

Just then, the RV stopped again. Xi Xi looked up and realized that they had arrived at the four-way intersection of the tunnel.

A north-south tunnel lies before us.

She was about to give the command to the central control screen to continue heading due east, but in an instant, she keenly noticed the difference in this north-south tunnel.

The azure light emanating from Xi Xi was still there, clearly illuminating the surroundings.

Therefore, she could clearly see that the north-south tunnel was located at a very low elevation, and even more surprisingly, there was a clear railway track at the bottom of the tunnel.

Patches of moss even sprouted from the gravel at the bottom of the track, spreading and growing wildly, clearly indicating that the rails had not been used for a long time.

Xi Xi's heart skipped a beat, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face: "This...this is actually an abandoned railway?"

The idea of ​​continuing straight along the tunnel was immediately rejected.

Without saying a word, Xi Xi got out of the car and decided to take advantage of the remaining light effect of the Blue Mushroom Soup on her body to explore the surroundings.

Upon hearing the noise, Xi's mother, who was busy with her work, immediately leaned out of the car and called out a few times.

Xi Xi made a reassuring gesture, then nimbly flipped over and lightly jumped off the tracks.

Just as her feet touched the rails, Xi Xi suddenly heard a familiar and clear meow.

She stopped in her tracks and looked in the direction of the sound, only to discover with dismay that Aura had quietly followed her there at some point.

Just as Xi Xi was about to say something, she received a private message from her mother.

Chu Zhiqin (flat): "That kitten Aura slipped out while you were opening the door, keep an eye on it!"

Xi Xi was speechless. It turned out that her mother's shout just now was to ask her to watch over Aura. She had been presumptuous and thought that her mother was worried about her, and even returned a gesture that she thought was very cool...

But it doesn't matter, because there is a synesthetic link between me and Aura, so we can maintain a close connection at any time.

Thinking this, Xi Xi held her breath and focused all her attention on Aura.

In an instant, Xi Xi's spiritual body entered Aura's perspective, and the world as seen through Aura's eyes appeared before her.

Even after trying it several times, Xi Xi still couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

She suddenly realized that cats are nocturnal creatures, and their pupils can dilate rapidly at night, giving them a much longer field of vision in the dark than humans.

At this moment, Xi Xi truly felt this difference, and suddenly felt that the distant scenery had become much clearer.

The abandoned railway before us is like an elderly man, slowly traversing the cracks of time.

The railway tracks have long lost their former luster, becoming mottled and worn by the ravages of time.

They are straight or curved, like a rusty giant python slowly crawling through this forgotten tunnel.

Besides moss, sparse weeds even grew among the rubble under the railway, creating a scene that was both desolate and full of life.

The azure light emanating from Xi Xi spilled onto the railway tracks, gilding them with a faint turquoise hue. Aura walked ahead of Xi Xi, her light steps treading on the monorail beside the railway.

Suddenly, it stopped its paws hovering in mid-air. At the same time, Xi Xi heard Aura's heart-wrenching voice: "Oh my god, there's a big guy over there!"

Xi Xi's heart skipped a beat, and a feeling of tension instantly welled up inside her.

She immediately slowed her pace, lowered her body slightly, and walked slowly forward. In front of her, Aura stood motionless like a statue, staring intently into the distance, as if she had seen something extraordinary.

Xi Xi had no choice but to lean forward slightly, trying her best not to make a sound, so as not to disturb the unknown being.

She used the synesthetic ring again to project her spiritual body onto the kitten, and was instantly stunned by the sight before her—

At the end of this railway, an abandoned train lies quietly on the tracks, like a sculpture forgotten by time, silently telling the story of an era's glory and its end.

The car body had long lost its former luster, replaced by a thick layer of dust and mottled moss.

Xi Xi straightened up and quickly walked a few steps forward before she could tell with her naked eye that it was an old-fashioned steam train.

Although the chimney at the front of the train is now crooked, its former majestic appearance is still faintly discernible, and one can almost hear the echo of the steam roaring.

Although the wheels are covered in rust, the deep grooves record the traces of its journey across mountains and rivers.

Some of the train's windows were already shattered, with glass shards scattered all over the ground, some even embedded in the surrounding pebbles.

Xi Xi cautiously approached one of the broken glass windows and peered inside through the jagged cracks.

The carriage was in complete disarray, with various items piled up haphazardly and the interior furnishings askew, as if it had undergone a devastating upheaval.

Although the carriage looked utterly devastated, Xi Xi noticed that the entire carriage was neither tilted nor collapsed, nor did it appear to have been subjected to a violent impact; there was still room to move around.

A thought flashed through Xi Xi's mind, a bold idea forming in her head. Without hesitation, she activated the light screen, quickly contacted Chu Zhiqin, and said, "Mom, the situation has changed!"
