That rascal rabbit must have done it on purpose!

"No, no, how could that be? I would never have the leisure to joke about my master's safety at a time like this." She even had the energy to tease me.

I cautiously looked back and saw that Miyuki was following closely behind us, moving quickly in the same way. Although her movements seemed a bit clumsy at first, they became more and more agile and natural as time went on, and the distance that had been gradually falling behind stopped increasing.

"Oh! We've found the tracks of the split car!"

Alice slammed on the brakes, almost sending me flying, but I managed to grab her clothes in time, and this time I only experienced mild dizziness.

She looked up and glanced around, raising an eyebrow in confusion: "But I can't find his sick little sister. If she was abandoned halfway, wouldn't she leave some trace?"

I was somewhat surprised: "You were just distracted by looking at the tracks on the road? At such a high speed?"

Keep in mind that, starting from where they started, these two guys covered in less than three minutes the distance that would normally take them at least an hour to walk at a brisk pace!

Alice dismissed it: "That's nothing, just basic skills."

Okay, I get it. You're a complete freak too.

In that situation just now, I couldn't even see the road clearly, and I even had to withdraw my senses from my body in advance to prevent my brain from overheating due to receiving too much information in a short period of time.

However, when it comes to finding people or things, it is precisely in situations where it is difficult to quickly and clearly identify every inch of the area that my strength lies.

As mentioned before, the snow in this area is exceptionally soft, making it easy to sink into it if you step on it even a short distance away. In addition, the surrounding environment is freezing cold, with wind and snow blowing down. In other words, the overall magical concentration here is basically maintained in a dynamic and stable state, and you can easily see through the surface to identify what is hidden underneath.

I closed my eyes and tried my best to expand my senses to confirm the situation around me. As for Shen Xue, who was more concerned about the other side, she left behind the words "I'll go chase the other car first" and quickly drove away following the trail.

Alice, still showing no intention of putting me down, carried me around with ease, occasionally checking the spaces hidden by trees and piles of stones, while paying special attention to the messy marks still left on the ground.

Birds and rodents hiding in tree holes and crevices sensed the nearby sounds and vibrations and occasionally poked their heads out. Weasels hopping back and forth among the branches and a group of squirrels munching on pine nuts tucked their large tails in, remaining only slightly wary of the search unfolding before their eyes.

The wind swayed the branches, causing slender icicles to fall and break in mid-air.

Hexagonal snowflakes swirled as they fell, shattering the moment they hit the ground.

I raised my hand and pointed to a slightly raised snowdrift: "There it is. The child probably fell and got covered by the falling snow."

Alice did as she was told, trotting forward and wiping the air with her free hand, which sent up a flurry of snowflakes.

The child, whose face was red from the cold and whose slightly parted lips were a little purple, curled up and hugged himself. Even though he was wrapped in thick clothes, his little body was still shivering.

"She has a fever, a high fever."

Alice could tell the child’s symptoms at a glance.

She immediately bent down to scoop her into her arms, but halfway down, she hesitated for a few seconds, then turned to look at me: "Can you lift her?"

"...If you still want to run like that, I don't think it will work."

"I think so too."

This damn rabbit actually dared to nod! I'm already saying my physical and personal qualities are up to standard by not throwing up on you right now! That kind of outrageous running style, and the way they treat people like cargo, just carrying them around like that, is something no normal person can withstand!

"Alright, that's fine." She suddenly put me down, turned her back to the little one, and squatted down. "I'll carry her back first. You can walk over slowly or go after Shenxue to help her, it's up to you."

"So you've chosen to abandon me? You used to call me 'master' all the time, but I haven't seen any respect from you at all."

Even so, I still placed the child on Alice's back.

Whether it's getting chilled or having a high fever, either one is difficult for a young and weak child to bear, let alone the two combined. And getting the little one treated as quickly as possible is obviously the fastest way.

However, at this moment, I suddenly felt a pang of regret for not having the little idiot with me: "If Hikari were here, even a simple healing spell could effectively stabilize the child's condition and perhaps even help her recover quickly."

"Hmm? You're already missing her?" Alice suddenly smiled. "It hasn't even been half a day, and your longing is already overflowing."

"Go away, go on your run." I clicked my tongue. "Be careful not to run too fast and throw the person off again. The kid is weak and can't keep up with your speed."

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm very gentle."

She smiled, didn't get up, and darted out like a rabbit, disappearing in a few steps.

However, compared to the speed at which it brought me here, it was much gentler. The hunchbacked girl's back did not tremble at all, and she moved forward steadily.

Okay, so now, in the blink of an eye, I've been left behind.

Following Alice back the way she came isn't a good idea either. Although it's leisurely, I always feel like I'm just there to make up the numbers.

So, should we go and look for that cave that's supposedly where a den of bears lives when they come out to hunt for food? I glanced at the narrow cave that was hidden not far away, but I couldn't see it directly because my view was obstructed. I could still sense the faint presence of wild beasts inside, but in the end, I gave up the idea.
