He paused, "I guess they're preparing, or maybe looking for a suitable place. After all, it's quite scary to see a few people suddenly disappear on the street after the blue light flashed."

As soon as the words fell, three figures enveloped by pale blue beams of light appeared out of thin air! The beams of light quickly dissipated, revealing the familiar figures of Xing, Sanyueqi, and Danheng.

"Wow! This is the outer ring? The other world is really different!" Xing was like a raccoon that had just been released from a cage. He jumped excitedly on the spot when he landed.

Looking around curiously, "The air is so sweet everywhere. I can't wait to start my pioneering journey!"

"Xing! Pay attention to your image!" March Seven followed closely behind, first giving Ling and Zhe an apologetic smile.

"Ling, Zhe, good morning! This guy is having fun as soon as he landed, I'm sorry to bother you." As she spoke, she stared at Xing vigilantly, afraid that she would pounce on the suspicious-looking abandoned oil drum next to her the next second.

Dan Heng was the last to exit the beam of light. He quickly and calmly scanned his surroundings before settling on Ling and Zhe. He nodded slightly, "Excuse me."

"Xing, Sanyue, Danheng! You are really here!" Ling's eyes lit up instantly, and she trotted over to meet them with a big smile on her face, all her previous nervousness gone.

"Welcome to Wildfire Town! Uh... although the conditions are a bit simple, this is the characteristic of the Outer Ring!" Ling greeted warmly.

Xing nodded seriously at first, then squatted on the ground curiously and studied a strange-shaped stone.

Zhe also came over: "Welcome. Did you have a smooth journey?"

"All right, all right!" Xing was finally pulled up by March Seventh and brushed the dust off his hands.

"It came over in a flash, faster than a warp! When we bring back more pioneering energy this time, Pam will definitely be so happy that she'll be spinning in circles!"

Just as Ling was about to introduce more "features" of Wildfire Town, three more blue beams of light lit up not far away.

The light dissipated, revealing the figures of Zhongli, Ying, and Paimon.

Zhongli stood tall and straight, his amber-like eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny as he slowly scanned the land of Liyue Harbor, which was completely different from the one he had guarded for thousands of years.

The first impression this place gave people was desolation, like the desert on the other side of Mount Sumeru, but it also gave him an unprecedented sense of novelty.

After all, outside of Teyvat, the Dark Sea is a symbol of nothingness and chaos, but here, there is a real alien civilization where vitality and crisis coexist.

Paimon flew directly in front of Ling, his little face full of excitement: "Ling! Zhe! We're here! Wow, this is Wildfire Town? It feels so... so hardcore!"

She noticed the pile of scrap parts not far away and stuck out her tongue.

"Mr. Zhongli! Ying! Paimon!" Ling was even happier and greeted them quickly, "Welcome, welcome!"

Zhongli approached slowly, his sleeves unmoved by the breeze that smelled of motor oil. He nodded to Ling and Zhe, "Sorry to bother you. This place is truly different from Teyvat, a refreshing change."

His voice was steady, with a subtle hint of inquiry.

Ying greeted with a smile: "Ling, Zhe, hello, Paimon was so happy last night that he stayed up very late."

"Hehe, no way!" But her sparkling eyes betrayed her.

Ling spoke at the right moment: "Let's go to Wildfire Town together. I'll introduce you to everyone from the Sons of Calydon."

As soon as they arrived in Wildfire Town, they ran into Caesar and his group who were preparing to pack up and head to the stadium.

When Caesar saw Ling and Zhe, he asked, "Hey, Ling, what have you been doing? We're about to leave."

"Huh? Who are these? Isn't this the Dan Heng guy? And Ying and Paimeng, hello."

"Are you coming to visit us again? But we probably won't be able to show you around. We'll be leaving for the Hellfire Ride once we're ready."

Caesar is as energetic as ever.

Ying replied, "It's okay. We're mainly here to look for Ling and Zhe. They invited us to watch your race so we can learn some of your driving skills. After you finish, we plan to have a race with you as well."

Caesar was delighted upon hearing this. "Great! Then I'll have to perform at the level of the leader of the Sons of Calydon. Look forward to our performance. By the way, who are these people next to me?"

Ling quickly introduced them: "This is Mr. Zhongli, Ying and Paimon's partner. These two are Xing and Sanyueqi, they are partners of the Danxingxing Sky Train."

Caesar smiled and nodded. "Hello everyone, I'm Caesar, the boss of the Sons of Calydon. These are Lucy, Light, Bernice, and Paipai."

After a brief introduction, Caesar got down to business.

"Although I really want to chat with you for a while, but, Ling, we are almost ready. Where's Ies? We need to leave."

Ling also returned to the rest room and found Ies who was charging. After waking it up, she handed it to Caesar.

"Caesar, I wish you all the best in your quest for the throne of hegemony."

Caesar gave a confident smile in return: "Don't worry, just wait and see!"

After that, all the sons of Calydon started their engines, and with a deafening roar, they rushed towards the starting point of the race like arrows, raising a cloud of dust.

The brief silence was interrupted by a strange cry.

"Oooooh! The Wildfire Town adventure begins! Let me see what good stuff is here!"

While everyone was talking, Xing couldn't hold back her desire to explore anymore and rushed into the town like a raccoon on break free - obviously, in her opinion, the greetings were over and it was time to explore.

"Xing! Stop right there! Don't run around! This isn't a train!" Sanyueqi's face changed and he immediately chased after her, "Zhe! Ling! Excuse me! We need to bring her back right away!"

Dan Heng sighed helplessly, said "Excuse me" to Ling and Zhe, and followed slowly. It was obvious that he was experienced in dealing with Xing's sudden "pioneering behavior".

Watching the three people chasing each other and disappearing into the alley, Ling couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Xing is still so energetic."

The ride to hell is about to begin.

Chapter 31: Encounter in another world, watching the storm together

After Caesar and the others set off, Zhe and Ling prepared the HDD system. As long as Caesar and the others arrived at the competition venue, Zhe would directly connect to Ies and provide them with guidance.

Paimon flew to Ying's side, looked at Zhongli and asked his doubts: "Zhongli, if you're not here, is Liyue... okay?"

She remembered that Zhongli was the mainstay of Liyue (even after retirement).

Ying also looked at Zhongli with the same question.

Zhongli withdrew his gaze from the otherworldly sky, remaining calm. "It's all right. Before leaving, I woke up Ruo Tuo and asked him to temporarily stay near Liyue Harbor in case of an emergency. My old friends Xianyun and Ping are also in the harbor."

"Besides, in today's world ruled by humans, the seven stars operate in an orderly manner, which is no longer comparable to the period of the Demon God War. Asking Ruo Tuo to stay here is only to prevent accidents."

Since Gui Zhong's death, he has paid more attention to stabilizing the rear than before.

Zhongli said in a calm tone that he would use King Ruota as his "ultimate insurance" when he went out, and this arrangement was perfect.

"Lord Rudra?!" Paimon covered his mouth in surprise. "He...he's recovered? Is he okay?"

"My old friend has a deep origin, and with Paimon's help he has eliminated the wear and tear. He has only suffered some energy loss, but it's not a big deal." There was a hint of warmth in Zhongli's eyes.

"Although his strength has not yet returned to its peak, his status and experience are enough to intimidate the rogues. Moreover, he can only sit back and watch, and there is no need to take action unless it is absolutely necessary."

He paused and looked at Ling and Zhe. "This trip to another world is a rare opportunity. Ying, Paimon, don't you want to go out for a walk?"

Paimon shook his head. "No, no, ever since I went to the Xumi Desert with Ying, whenever I see this kind of desert terrain, I always feel like I'm going to fall in and start an adventure in the next second."

"Ying and I should wait here for the game to start."

Ying also nodded to confirm Paimon's statement.

"But you, Zhongli, are you sure you don't want to take a leisurely trip to another world?"

Zhongli's gaze swept across the land beneath his feet and the distant rocks. He said calmly, "The focus of this trip is the competition. Besides, the pulse and whispers of this land have already told me many stories. Observing its changes is also a form of understanding."

Paimon was a little surprised: "Oh! As expected of you, your ability is really useful."

Then Paimeng yawned and lay on Ying's back. "Wow... I'm still a little sleepy. I'll take a nap first. Remember to call me when the game starts."

Ying smiled dotingly, "Okay, okay, I'll call you later, just sleep peacefully."

After a while, Xing was caught by March Seven and the others, and the raccoon's exploration of the other world had to be suspended.

Caesar and the others also arrived at the competition venue and the competition was about to begin.

Ying shook Paimeng behind her to wake her up.

Paimon rubbed his eyes drowsily: "Hmm~ Ying? Has the game started? I think I just closed my eyes."

Zhe had successfully connected to Ies and was controlling Ies to talk to Caesar.

This made everyone very curious because it did not look like a simple remote control.

It's more like Zhe mapped his consciousness into Ies's body, and now Zhe is controlling two bodies at the same time.

Dan Heng had an idea: "If this technology can ignore distance, then the next time we explore Omphalos—a world that even Achievers has never set foot on—perhaps we can use a similar method."

'After all, it's better to be cautious in a world you know nothing about. He doesn't want his companions to get hurt.'

He was about to ask when Ling immediately began to introduce it to everyone. Her voice was filled with pride. "This is the HDD system! It can establish a consciousness link, ignoring the chaos of empty space, allowing us to communicate in real time."

"Brother is now controlling Ies through mind mapping! It's like having another body beside Caesar!"

Xing and Paimon on the side said in unison: "How amazing!"

"The Ies controlled by my brother are also our normal family. These are the things our teacher left for us. The reason we became rope makers is to find clues about our teacher."

Ling suddenly felt a little depressed. This confession was a decision she and Zhe made together yesterday - if she wanted to get help from her partners, honesty was a necessary cornerstone.

Seeing this, Dan Heng stopped talking.

After hearing these words, Paimon looked at Ying, feeling that Ying's experience was similar to Ling's.

In a sense, it is all about separation from loved ones and then embarking on a journey to find them.

On the screen, at the starting point of the Hellfire Ride, the audience's cheers resounded through the sky.

In the direction of the starting platform, the huge flag of the Motorcycle Alliance fluttered in the wind.

"It's about to begin!" Ling clenched her fists, her voice filled with excitement and a hint of nervousness.

Everyone's eyes were focused in the same direction.

Caesar looked at Pompey, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "Uncle Overlord! It's finally the finals. This time I can have a good showdown with you!"

Pompey crossed his arms and said, "Haha, you're so arrogant, little girl. You better try harder and stop boring me."

boom--!

The deafening sound of the starting gun was like a thunderclap, instantly igniting thunderous cheers from the entire audience!

The six motorcycles were like steel beasts that had broken free from their chains. Amidst the roar of their engines and the screeching of their tires rubbing against the ground, they roared out of the starting line!

The rising smoke and dust was like a giant ochre dragon, instantly swallowing up the starting point, and rushing towards the empty track ahead where dangers and opportunities coexisted and space was distorted and changing!

"Oh, ho--!!!" Xing looked at the spectacular starting scene and jumped up excitedly, as if it was herself rushing out. "Come on! Go!!"

Sanyueqi opened his eyes wide: "Wow... so fast!"

Paimon nervously grabbed Ying's hair: "Ying! So fast! They really rushed into the cave!"

Ying stared at the figures of the riders who rushed into the huge empty crack without hesitation, with a solemn expression, hoping that there would be no accidents.

What is somewhat surprising is that even after Caesar and the others have rushed into the cave, Zhe can still use Ies to achieve real-time communication with Caesar.

The drone responsible for broadcasting the game outside lost its signal as soon as it entered the hole. It took at least ten minutes for the image to be transmitted out of the hole, which was called unprecedented.

The technology used in this event is clearly superior to Zhe's HDD system, further highlighting the excellence of Zhe's technology.

Xing looked at the short distance ahead and felt that it was not difficult at all. It was just a straight sprint and all he needed was his hands.

As soon as they passed the fork in the road and entered the cave, Xing no longer felt so.

The road inside the cave became noticeably narrower, and there were many more railings and wooden boxes on the road. Everyone thought they had to change their route.

What surprised everyone was that instead of slowing down and moving around, Caesar suddenly stepped on the accelerator!

The locomotive engine roared even more fiercely and slammed into the group of obstacles ahead!

The wooden box shattered into pieces in an instant, the railings were twisted and deformed and were forcibly knocked open, and the locomotive, with an indomitable momentum and flying sparks, forcibly crushed a path through the broken obstacles!

"Wow!" Paimon was stunned, his mouth opened into an O shape. "So this is how it was solved! How can an ordinary person learn such a wild way of clearing the way?"

Xingye's eyes twitched as he watched, muttering, "Sure enough, rules are meant to be broken. I was so stupid for taking a detour during the training match!"

Her previous confidence that "having hands is enough" was shattered by Caesar's hardcore operation.

Chapter 32 An unexpected appearance

The race continues and more and more obstacles begin to appear on the road.

Wright's motorcycle made a harsh grinding sound at the extreme angle, the body of the motorcycle almost parallel to the ground.

It slid sideways past the huge lying tree with millimeter-level precision, and the dust left a long trail behind the wheels.
