“Karl! Too fast! Slow down! Uaaaaaa——!”

Trying her best to keep her posture still, Nia screamed in fear at the speed of the motorcycle.

The cold wind whistled in her ears, and the humming sound of the air made it almost impossible for her to hear other sounds.

She could only rely on her not-so-high perception to grasp the effective distance of the spell, and thereby ensure that the wheel would not cause an unpredictable disaster due to a stone.

This was too exciting for her. Not knowing when she would face death made her adrenaline surge.

"Don't talk! Keep your legs together!"

With his eyes fixed straight ahead, Carl twisted his waist slightly so that Nia's legs around his waist would be more comfortable.

Carl has sensed the white dragon beasts that are chasing them through the perception brought by exploring the dragon patterns, and it is foreseeable that more white dragon beasts will join the chase.

It is said that fast driving is addictive, but Carl used to not quite believe it.

But at this moment, the theme song of "Initial D" was automatically playing in his mind, and the AE86 galloping on the Akina Mountains seemed to be right in front of him, guiding him in the direction.

"Master Karl, you have now deviated from the original direction. You need to turn 15 degrees to the left and drive for 30 seconds to correct the direction."

The voice of No. 1 sounded from the helmet.

Carl also removed a part of it, and the crystal that served as its intelligent core was now embedded in the center of Carl's helmet, helping him to keep an eye on the route at all times.

"15 degrees left front? There's snow there! Are you sure we won't fall into an ice hole?"

"Don't worry. At your current speed, we will slide across the snow like a skipping stone. Don't worry about the holes under the snow."

To be honest, Carl’s current speed can’t really be considered “running”, he’s just flying too low.

Taking a deep breath, Carl changed direction slightly and plunged into the snow.

A flaming arrow was fired from under V's car lights. Nia quickly changed her spell into fire control and used the spell effect to control the flaming arrow, melting part of the snow in front.

“Buzz——”

Amid the roar, the locomotive's tires sped across the snow.

Carl couldn't even control the lifting of the front wheel, and could only press his body down as much as possible to offset this trend.

“Ah~”

The roar of the White-collared White Dragon Beast sounded from the air. Carl looked at the oil gauge of the motorcycle and found that only 32% of the fire element in the dragon crystal was left.

'As soon as you finish this section of the road, find a place to rest.'

Thinking this in his heart, Carl continued to move forward while praying.

Suddenly, another roar of a white dragon beast came from a snowy mountain ahead.

Immediately afterwards, roars were heard one after another, and white dragon beasts flew out of the mountains one after another.

"Is that where the teleportation light gate is?"

The soaring of the dragon beasts pointed out a specific direction for Carl. He glanced at the remaining fire elements again with his peripheral vision, and Carl's attention became more focused.

The sound of the motorcycle attracted the attention of the dragon beasts, and they swooped down from mid-air, brewing breath from their mouths that was enough to freeze Carl and his group into ice sculptures.

“Huh~”

A breath of icy dragon spewed out, and it fell directly on the snowfield in front of Carl. Huge ice spikes grew out like bamboo shoots after rain.

"Hold on tight!"

Because of the huge inertia, Carl now has no way to complete a large turn.

But if they continue to charge like this, they will definitely enter the range of the dragon's breath.

So, Carl chose to drift.

The wheels tilted slightly, and the locomotive immediately began to shake violently at an extremely high speed.

This phenomenon is called the death wobble, and when it occurs, the next thing the motorcycle rider will face is a rollover.

However, Carl still held the handlebars tightly at this moment. When the body of the bike turned completely sideways, psychic power lit up in his eyes.

In an instant, Carl's mind connected with V, and the car that had begun to roll over seemed to have been pressed in slow motion.

"Click"

The structure connecting the wheels suddenly changed, and the wheels, which were originally only able to rotate forward and backward, actually rolled sideways in the direction of the overturn.

They turned so fast that the car body that was about to overturn even regained its balance because of their changes.

This provides sufficient power support for the car's steering.

When inertia and propulsion gradually reach a certain ratio, the actual force on the car changes.

Then the car turned a corner.

“Buzz——”

With a roar, the rear wheels of the car kicked up a large cloud of snow.

And Carl swung the parking space and made the car turn successfully.

The breath that was like liquid nitrogen was only a dozen centimeters away from Carl.

Carl's face under the helmet was even slightly frozen.

“Woo~ha!”

After dodging the first breath, Carl still had the second and third ones waiting for him.

However, Carl seemed to have unleashed his potential in the face of great danger. He not only dodged the breaths one by one, but also kept the car moving towards the dragon beasts' nest.

"Master Karl, the dragon crystal only has 13% of its energy left."

However, things don't always go smoothly. When Carl was still immersed in the excitement of his successful drift in five consecutive hairpin turns, No. 1 reported to him a life-threatening news.

Because he was too reckless, the fire element was consumed much faster than he initially thought.

And now they are still in the encirclement formed by the white dragon beast.

'What should I do? Ask the master for help directly?'

But looking at the snow-capped mountains that were so close, Carl felt a little unwilling.

"Wait! Master, they put the white dragon beasts into the demiplane only recently. These dragon beasts were able to change the terrain in such a short time. Could it be because..."

His body sank again, and Carl turned off the energy output of the dragon crystal amid Nia's cries.

But even so, their car was still moving forward at an astonishing speed.

As the snow-capped mountains got closer, Carl pursed his lips tightly and his heart beat like a drum.

Nia under him said nothing at this time, but just closed her eyes tightly, looking forward to opening them next time.

The car was getting closer and closer to the snow-capped mountains, and Carl's heart rate reached its peak at this time.

"Squeak"

The wheels rotated sideways again, but this time, Carl made the two wheels rotate sideways in opposite directions.

The car turned its front direction instantly and then crashed into the snow mountain like a top.

“Huh~”

The nozzle restarted, and blazing flames poured out in all directions.

Carl tried hard to control the car's rotation and stabilized it just seconds before hitting the snowy mountain.

And his current direction was completely opposite to the direction he was heading just now.

"ah--!"

Carl vented his emotions by shouting, and released all the energy in the dragon crystal at once.

Two pillars of fire shot out towards the snow-capped mountain, and the "rock wall" of the snow-capped mountain suddenly melted under the high temperature.

This is actually an iceberg made entirely of solidified ice! 'Haha! I was right! Those white dragon beasts built this snow mountain entirely out of ice, so it took shape so quickly!'

With the high-temperature flame leading the way, the car rushed directly into the melted ice cave.

A large amount of white mist emerged from the ice cave, and Carl seemed to be standing at the bottom of the steps of the Lingxiao Palace.

Suddenly, the car seemed to hit some rock and turned over.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Carl quickly took off his helmet and put it on Nia's head.

Immediately afterwards, Carl fell unconscious from the impact.
