Ying put away the wind element on her body and smiled slightly: "Only you can bring the bamboo dragonfly, but I am not allowed to use the wind field?"

Dan Heng also dispersed the water dragon and said calmly: "It's not a violation if you use your abilities properly."

Xing opened his mouth, looked at the two people's self-righteous expressions, then looked at the bamboo dragonfly above his head, and suddenly felt that the five hundred points he spent... didn't seem so unique?

Xing thought dejectedly, 'Why am I the only one who can't fly?'

On the high cliff, March 7 clung to the guardrail and witnessed the three people's outrageous landing methods, each showing off their magical powers, with his mouth opened into an O shape.

After a long while, she stamped her foot angrily, "That's too much! You all have hidden special moves! You're just bullying me because I can't fly, right? Humph!"

She looked at the long bend and the distant end below, then at the trembling cliff, and finally sighed resignedly.

I stepped on the accelerator and drove into the daunting series of hairpin turns.

Top three? Never mind, safety first!

Finally, when March 7 carefully drove the motorcycle and finally passed the daunting series of hairpin turns and arrived at the finish line, the top three seats had already been secured.

Xing paid a full five hundred points (equivalent to what she earned from several days of signing in and completing tasks), and with her brand new bamboo dragonfly, she was the first to touch the line and won the championship without any dispute.

Ying controlled the cyan wind field and glided to the ground gracefully like an elf in the wind, finishing second.

The water dragon under Dan Heng turned into crystal water splashes in the sky the moment the motorcycle tires touched the platform, and he also steadily won the third place.

San Yueqi parked the car. There was a hint of fatigue on her face due to the long journey, but it did not affect her at all and she was instantly ignited by the burning spirit of complaining.

"Hey! Xing!" Sanyueqi rushed to Xing, who was standing proudly next to his motorcycle, with his hands on his hips and his voice raised by an octave.

"You guy! You're actually willing to spend another 500 points to buy a bamboo helicopter?! Just to win this?!" She vented to Xing what she had wanted to complain about for a long time.

At this moment, Xing was immersed in the joy of victory, like a raccoon who had truly returned victorious, with his head held high and his chin almost raised to the sky.

The smugness of "I am the only one in the world" was about to overflow.

Faced with March's accusations, she turned a blind eye and just giggled.

San Yueqi's firepower continued unabated, and he turned his gaze to Dan Heng who was inspecting the motorcycle next to him: "Dan Heng! The one I least expected was you!"

She pointed in the direction of the cliff, a look of disbelief on her face. "Aren't you usually the calmest and most reliable one? The anchor of our three-person team!"

"How come you drive like Xingxue so crazily?! When you saw her jumping off the cliff, you rushed out without saying a word! My heart almost stopped because of you! Is this still the Danheng I knew?" She patted her chest exaggeratedly.

After being bluntly pointed out by March Seven, Dan Heng's movement of checking the locomotive paused slightly.

He raised his head, a rare flicker of embarrassment crossing his face. He cast his gaze uncomfortably towards the ground and coughed softly, "Ahem...a moment of impulse."

But there was a ripple in my heart.

Perhaps it was because he had been shouldering the heavy responsibility of solving the problem of the demonic body of Xianzhou for a long time, which suppressed too many emotions.

The carefree, purely victory-seeking gallop he had just taken unexpectedly gave him a moment of complete release.

Or maybe, he just wanted to prove that even in this unfamiliar area, he could still protect his companions' path forward?

The thought flashed through his mind, and even he himself felt it was a little unfamiliar. His fingertips unconsciously tapped lightly on the cold metal shell of the motorcycle.

Sanyueqi's complaints were finally directed at Ying: "And Ying! You're amazing too!"

Her eyes sparkled, and her tone was filled with genuine admiration and a hint of reluctance at being outdone. "You can actually use the wind element to lift the entire motorcycle and glide!"

"When I rescued Caesar before, I thought you could only make one person float! You guys hid it so well! You didn't even give us a warning!"

Ying was very happy to be praised in person by the lively and lovely girl Sanyueqi.

She put away the wind element with a relaxed smile on her face: "This is nothing."

She gazed into the distance, a hint of nostalgia and mischief in her voice. "I knew a bard friend in Teyvat who loved dandelion wine. If he got serious, he could easily blow away an entire mountain with the wind!"

"I'll definitely introduce you to each other when I have the chance in the future." Wendy's eccentric and unfathomable image emerged in her mind.

The four people who arrived first gathered at the finish line, chatting leisurely about the thrills and fun of the race, sharing their experiences, and the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.

This was a rare leisure time after a series of tense events, and the laughter and playfulness among friends diluted the empty depression.

They chatted and laughed while waiting for the arrival of the "senior tourist group" led by Zhongli.

At the same time, under Zhongli's calm leadership, the "sightseeing group" was driving smoothly along the safest route planned by the chat group.

Paimon carefully controlled her mini motorcycle and followed Zhongli, while Zhe and Ling drove their motorcycles not far ahead.

The journey wasn't entirely smooth sailing.

The corpses wandering in the cave sensed the presence of living things and rushed out from dark corners or behind crystal pillars, roaring.

However, these monsters that pose a threat to ordinary people and even ordinary investigators are like dust in front of Zhongli.

Facing the attacking Yi Hai, Zhongli didn't even shift his gaze a bit, his expression was as calm as ever.

He still had that leisurely strolling posture, but the end of his braid behind him flashed with the light of rock element.

In an instant, with him as the center, the solid earth seemed to have life, turning into flexible and majestic ochre waves, silently "sweeping" around.

This wave was not a devastating impact, but it carried an unquestionable and irresistible vast power.

Yi Hai, who was touched by the earth wave containing the power of rock, didn't even have time to struggle.

Just like ice and snow under the scorching sun, or a sand castle washed by the waves, it instantly collapsed and disappeared, turning into the most primitive ether energy and dissipating into the air.

The whole process was quiet and efficient, as if just brushing off a little dust from the sleeve.

Paimon's mouth dropped open slightly, while Zhe and Ling were once again deeply shocked. "Is this the power of God? He didn't do anything big, yet he was able to deal with all the corpses so easily... How amazing!"

Under Zhongli's protection, the four of them traveled safely all the way to the finish line.

When the sound of the "sightseeing group's" motorcycle engine came closer and closer and finally appeared in the sight of the terminal platform, Xing, who had already calculated the timing, took action immediately!

Chapter 44 Youthful Spirit

Xing flipped over neatly and landed steadily on a specially selected boulder near the finish line, which was bathed in the orange-red light of the burning crystal fire lake.

She quickly adjusted her posture, facing away from the newcomer, folding her arms, and trying to imitate the demeanor of some martial arts masters in Luofu Fairy Boat in her memory, with her body standing straight.

He even asked Ying to help secretly activate a tiny bit of wind element, causing the hem of his coat to lift slightly, creating an aura of a master who "acts automatically without wind".

Just as Zhongli and the other three slowly drove into the finish area and looked over here, Ling exclaimed at the perfect moment.

"Brother! Look! The way Xing stands on that big rock... He looks like one of those peerless heroes in the movies who have unparalleled martial arts skills, defeat all opponents in the world, and then sigh, 'Life is as lonely as snow!'"

Ling's words were like the sound of nature, accurately hitting the core of Xing's design.

Xing resisted the urge to raise the corners of his mouth wildly, and secretly praised Ling for her good eye for talent.

She took a deep breath, tried to imitate a certain vicissitudes of life tone, and slowly spoke in a deliberately low, weathered aria:

"Hey……"

The sigh was long and full of the feeling of "how lonely it is to be invincible".

"Life, it's really..."

She shook her head slightly, as if sighing for the "mediocrity" of this world.

“…Lonely as snow.”

The last four words carry a sense of loneliness that comes from being at the top.

"It's so difficult to find an opponent who can fight~"

After finishing the chant, Xing felt that his status at the moment had reached the sky.

However, after witnessing how Xing carefully planned this "master's debut show", Sanyueqi seemed to have a "#" sign on his forehead.

She finally couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at the star on the boulder. Her voice echoed throughout the platform:

"Hey! Xing! Enough of that! You're so pretentious! Get off that broken rock right now!"

Xing is immersed in the "master" atmosphere he created for himself, how could he admit defeat easily?

She kept her arms crossed, shook her head softly in a helpless manner, and responded in a "compassionate" tone:

"Alas, poor March Seventh, he must be burning with jealousy right now because he didn't win the crown."

"Don't worry, I understand your pain, but I won't be scared off by your anger~" She even turned her face slightly, trying to put on a "professional profile".

San Yue Qi couldn't stand it anymore and clenched her fists. "You bastard! Believe it or not, I'm going to give you two bang bang punches!"

Ying, who was cooperating on the side, looked at Xing talking nonsense seriously and couldn't help laughing. She covered her mouth with her hands and shrugged her shoulders slightly.

Dan Heng turned his face away silently, with an expression that said, "I don't know this person, I'm not familiar with her." However, his ears seemed to be suspiciously red.

Although he had seen Xing act like a funny boy many times, he still couldn't stand it because Xing always had new tricks.

Paimon flew happily to Ying and started chattering, asking her how she finished the race and what results she achieved.

Zhongli's gaze slowly swept over everything on the platform: Sanyueqi, who was playing and trying to pull Xing off the rock, and Xing, who was still pretending to be stubborn; Ying, who was chatting easily and being amused by Paimon; Danheng, who was standing quietly by with a helpless yet somewhat indulgent smile on his face; and Zhe and Ling, who still had smiles on their faces.

The gentle and profound smile on his lips never faded, and now it added a bit of understanding and kindness that showed his insight into the world.

He couldn't help but sigh softly, "Young man is full of vigor and ambition. Xing's pure heart is also very rare."

His gaze once again swept over the energetic young people on the platform, and finally fell on the back of the "lonely master" who was still fighting stubbornly on the boulder. The smile in his eyes deepened a little, as if he saw the most precious uncut jade in the world.

"This scene..." He paused, his tone filled with the appreciation and tolerance of an elder for the younger generation's vibrant vitality, "...is also the most authentic and pure scenery on the path of cultivation."

Just as Xing and Sanyueqi's "master attack and defense battle" was about to escalate, and Sanyueqi was really considering whether to climb up and punch Xing twice, a prompt sounded in everyone's mind at the same time:

【System prompt】:

"World Event: Hell Ride Finals" has been completed.

Starting to settle rewards...

Star: Champion bonus points: 300 points.

Ying: The runner-up bonus points are 240 points.

Danheng: The third place award is 180 points.

March 7: 120 points for participating in the event.

……

Points have been distributed to each member's account.

Warm reminder: This world event is over, and all group members will be safely teleported back to their original worlds at 9:00 tonight, world time.

Please prepare in advance.

The prompt sound was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the "master" atmosphere that Xing had deliberately created and March 7's "anger".

Xing jumped down from the boulder in frustration, and March Seven also retracted his fist.

Everyone looked at each other, and a faint sense of sadness, "Ah, it's over," spread throughout the crowd.

"It's only nine o'clock, so we have to go back?" Ling said reluctantly, "No, no! How can we not celebrate after the game? It would be a waste!"

Zhe immediately understood what his sister meant and said, "Right! It's still early anyway, so five or six hours is plenty of time. Perfect! Ling and I will take everyone to the Guangying Plaza in New Erito to have some fun and a nice dinner!"

"Thanks to everyone's help today, my brother and I feel like we haven't been of much help. Let's treat everyone well this time!"

Xing's melancholy was instantly dispelled by the thought of "playing" and "eating," and her eyes lit up: "Guangying Square? What a great place! I haven't been there yet! Let's go!"

Ying and Sanyueqi also smiled and nodded, and Paimeng cheered: "Great! There are delicious foods again!"

Dan Heng and Zhongli looked at each other and nodded slightly without objection.

Just leave.

Everyone immediately boarded their motorcycles. As soon as Zhe and Ling exited the cavern and reconnected to the New Eridu network, they sent a message to Caesar:

Zhe: "Caesar, let's take our friends to Guangying Plaza to relax and celebrate. You guys can help clean up at the venue, and we'll go back to the Outer Ring to pack up later."

Caesar replied immediately: "Got it. Have fun and thank them for me. Leave this to us."

On the way to Guangying Square, everyone did not rush as fast as they did during the competition.

The streets were filled with more cars and people, neon lights began to flash, and the hustle and bustle of the city enveloped them again.

Zhe took the lead, controlling the speed, and everyone followed tacitly, enjoying this rare, leisurely time traveling through the city.

Safe driving is more important than anything else.
