Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Nothing significant happened during the rest of the journey of the Redtooth tribe's entourage.

At noon on the fifth day, Reha walked behind Tosa, who was still leading the troops. The new hero of the Redtooth tribe puffed out his chest and put his arm around Lin. The couple occasionally chatted and laughed.

Perhaps the one who kept Reha from doing bad was Lin. That woman always persuaded Reha not to get angry, basically by asking him to have sex.

Damn. It turns out that Lin really likes Reha. I'm sure that if Reha started acting bad, Lin would be happy. It was evident from the expressions of the woman.

"Stop!" Tosa raised his hand when we arrived at a plain dominated by black, from the soil color to the trees' trunks. Yes, it was the part of the plain that had burned down because of Manu. Although now, some short green plants are starting to grow.

"Your tribe likes to burn, doesn't it, Kat? The day after we departed, we also found a charred forest. Now this place." Lara chuckled. She refers to where Jia, the criminal who attacked my colonists, was basically burned by Kat.

Kat was silent. However, I could see her hands were tightly clenched. Maybe she hasn't been able to move on from that incident.

"Kat!" Tosa called.

With a half run, Kat stepped forward to meet Tosa.

"Don't look at that." Lin turned Reha's face the other way. Just now, the bald man's eyes fell on Kat's chest, which, although now covered in clothes, was still jiggling quite wildly.

"You said, when we get to this place, we'll be at the salt cave soon, right?" Tosa confirmed to my female colonist. "Now, show me the way."

Kat looked around for a moment before finally starting to walk towards the southwest without speaking at all.

I speeded up the gameplay until they reached the crack that Leva had found. Rox looked nervous. Its kept barking and twitching around its master's feet. Kat had tried to calm the dog down but to no avail. The horses the group had brought also began to squirm uncomfortably, giving the caretaker a hard time. I could see that it caused some of the members to get tensed too.

"Back then, it was like this too." Yogi, Sena's father, hissed. "In my old tribe's expedition, some of the pets we brought became restless."

"So, the cave is in there, huh?" Tosa rubbed his chin, then looked at his group members. "I want to confirm it first. However, if we enter together, we might attract the attention of the stump scorpions. We're pretty tired and won't be at our best to fight."

"Just send that woman from the east tribe then!" One of the group members shouted. "Her tribe made us come here. She must take responsibility!"

God damn it.

A frenzy began to sound in the group. In essence, they agree with what the person said earlier. Tosa looked at Kat, who had crouched down, still trying to calm Rox. Then, the group leader raised his hands up high, causing the others to fall silent.

"I agree with all of you." Tosa said with a big smile. "However, it's useless if Kat goes alone. We have to have our members check with their own eyes that there really is a salt cave there."

Kat looked at the man, whose smile grew wider.

Reha walked forward with haughty steps. "Just let me in!"

This time, cheers of praise for Reha emerged from some of the group members. Tosa had to raise his hand again to silence them.

"If he's coming, I'm coming too." Lin embraced Reha's hand. The two lovebirds exchanged glances and smiled broadly.

"I also want to participate." Lara also approached Tosa.

Good, the more people, the better. I couldn't possibly make Kat refuse Tosa's orders.

The squad leader looked at the four people and nodded. "Alright, you guys leave your stuff here and go in there."

I whispered in Kat's ear. "Just follow the orders and stay careful. Don't take Rox because his barking might attract the attention of the monsters."

Kat led her dog to a nearby tree trunk and tied it there. After that, she let go of his sack and gathered with the three volunteers.

Rox was still barking and moving restlessly.

"Come on, let's go in!" Reha started walking, carrying his giant cleaver on his shoulders.

"Don't be so loud, dear." Lin reminded.

The four of them went through the winding cliff passage for a while. With every step they took, I felt like I wanted to take Kat out of there more and more. I used to be excited about this place because I didn't know anything. However, after understanding the dangers of the world in this game, I couldn't calm down.

In a few minutes, they arrived at a plain surrounded by cliffs. Lin, Lara, and even Reha gasped in amazement. The area was not affected by the fire from the monkey forest. So, the condition is still the same, full of colorful flowers similar to tulips.

"I've never seen a flower this beautiful." Lara crouched down and examined the dark purple flower.

"According to the story, these flowers are a sign of the existence of a salt cave." Lin continued to look around.

Reha walks again. "Then let's get in there right away! I can't wait!"

"I told you, don't be loud, dear!" Lin snorted.

They walked into the cave, and the three Redtooth tribe members gasped again. They looked around at the white walls, stalactites, and stalagmites. Meanwhile, Kat just stood looking at them.

"Don't forget, there's a monster inside." Kat said according to my instructions.

The three of them froze and looked at Kat.

"You're right." Lara sighed, took a knife from the back of her pants, pried out one of the stalagmites, and licked a chunk from it. "It's really salt."

Without warning, Reha advanced towards the interior of the cave. Lin immediately pulled her lover's hand. When the bald man turned to the woman, Lin shook her head hard. Reha snorted but luckily came back again.

"Let's get out of here." Lara said as she showed the small chunk of salt in her hand. "I've brought enough evidence."

I breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they came out of the cave. I speed things up until they reach their group again.

Tosa smiled when he saw the small white lump in Lara's hand. "We went to Kat's tribe first to greet and lay bricks, as ordered by our leader.. We will also rest there and return to this place tomorrow morning to start mining."
