At first, the opening ceremony was bustling and noisy, filled with the clamor of people.

Immediately followed by helicopter shots, fans driving cars along the way cheered and shouted, chasing after.

Later on, the chasing fans gradually dispersed, while the helicopter roaring above the sky evaded the snowfall and dark clouds, slowing down gradually.

In the end, the teams racing in front of the camera continued to drift apart depending on the road conditions and routes, and even the filming vehicles arranged by the committee along the way hadn't appeared for a long time.

At this moment, on the desolate snowfield, only a piece of overly dim pure white remained under the gloomy night, stretching endlessly to the horizon, where the faint black mountains draw a distant boundary between heaven and earth.

Under the low, heavy clouds, the overly vast and expansive snowfield spreads infinitely, making the distance between heaven and earth seem remarkably close, oppressive and narrow. Compared to such a world, the oversized and conspicuous armored off-road vehicle that stands out in the city now appears tiny, like ants, wandering through the narrow gaps between heaven and earth, dazedly moving forward.

Only by truly entering the snowfield can one discover that in this rally race, the greatest enemy might not be the competitors' malice or the hidden assaults lurking in the shadows, but the world in front of them.

"So desolate."

Ji Jue rested his hand on the car window, occasionally looking up and gazing at the surrounding scenery.

Scenes unseen before, everything seemed full of wonder and novelty.

It is predictable that in the coming days, or maybe in a few hours, all this will become dull and tedious as time wears on. As the temperature further drops and the impending strong airflow arrives, it will further reveal a hideous and cruel nature.

It's hard to imagine that over a hundred or two hundred years ago, this was actually the largest plantation area of the entire Federation. Back then, on this snowfield, the seasons were distinct, the water systems were numerous, and the soil was fertile. Everything visible was vast plantations and farmlands.

Now, white snow covers all, the ice fields stretch on endlessly.

Chaotic geomagnetic fields sometimes prevent even signals from being received, making it impossible to discern one's location, and beneath the snow, countless ravines formed by geological changes are hidden, along with many deep ice crevices between the perennial icy layers.

Too many to check them all, innumerable. Not to mention the mutants hidden in ice crevices and ravines, or the herds roaming the icy plains catalyzed by severe cold, and even the Disaster Beasts.

Even on the detection maps provided by the committee, only dangerous areas and relatively... not so dangerous areas are simply marked.

To win, no, to survive and complete the course, the key is route planning and crisis management.

In response, Ji Jue decided... to connect the checkpoints from the starting point and endpoint, ignoring ravines or mountains, drawing a straight line.

Rarely has Little Bull Horse been this lively lately, perfect to give it some more challenges!

In terms of navigation, aside from satellite positioning and guidance, there are maps and the most primitive calculations, as well as the White Deer family's innate keen sense of direction.

Reaching the level of an An Ning White Deer chosen one naturally grants a blessing in the wilderness, not only in direction but also in sensitive intuition towards water sources or disasters, and survival instincts superior to other creatures, not to mention the various skills passed down by the An Family.

Lv Yingyue indeed found him the best choice.

Able to handle any danger.

Hmm, the downside is... in the absence of danger, she's a bit too dangerous.

"Move aside, don't obstruct the driver."

As Ji Jue looked down at the dashboard, he suddenly realized that An Ning had quietly snuggled over, seeking warmth, more than once.

Just like a cat sneaking over to the stove to warm up when others aren't paying attention.

Yet every time Ji Jue fails to notice when she comes, if it weren't for the limited space in the car, she might hang on him without him even feeling it.

Not wearing a seatbelt, curled up in the passenger seat, the dangerous road conditions seem to have nothing to do with her, she moves as lightly as a feather, her petite figure navigating the not-so-spacious car interior freely. One moment playing with the Peace Blessing on the rearview mirror, the next rummaging through the stuff Ji Jue brought in the back seat or even the trunk, never polite, even when Ji Jue ignores her, she can amuse herself.

And sometimes, she comes over to play with Ji Jue.

Tying his hair into little ponytails, or pulling out a gun and posing for selfies.

In short... brat!

Where did this child come from, with absolutely no sense of distance, why can't she sit obediently like Little An!

Ji Jue is helpless, can only let it be, and then... when she cuddled over for warmth, suddenly released the restraints of the Blood of the Melting Furnace, raising the temperature.

Sadly, it was completely ineffective.

"The signs are too obvious, Ji Jue bro, so slow, can't scare anyone." An Ning grinned smugly: "Even if you hadn't noticed, your eyes and muscle instincts don't lie, just like this—ouch!"

In a moment of relaxed vigilance, the outstretched palm recoiled in pain, with a motion like a startled cat spiked, the whole person jumped back to the passenger seat, shaking her fingers.

Ji Jue grinned.

Naughty cats can get burned by the stove!

The burning redness on her fingertips quickly faded, and An Ning had already put the recent lesson behind, once more coming over, filled with curiosity: "How did you do that? Obviously the body's actions and signs were so obvious just now, suddenly it was different?"
