Li Ang could only temporarily not consider this matter.

After flying for a while, the strong wind gradually subsided, and The Howling Wolf slowed down, landing on a flat area of the sand desert. From here, you could see the race track on the plain not far away.

"How was it? How did it feel to ride on The Howling Wolf?"

Andasu removed her mask, shook her head, letting her ivory white fragmented hair sway, stroked her beast ears, and a carefree and relaxed smile appeared on her face, exuding a valiant beauty.

"My suggestion is to fix the cockpit's door." Li Ang said.

"Ah, sorry."

The young girl realized, her cheeks flushed as she lowered her head.

"Because during the race, it's always open, I forgot you were not used to it your first time."

"A race, huh..."

Li Ang wiped his face, which was dazed by the wind, feeling that finishing the entire track by boat was not just a matter of course.

This guy...

He stared at Andasu, already surprised by the various things from the Yunxiang Race and the Mechanical Engineer, but hadn't expected there to be such a high-speed driver side of her.

Taking a breath, he leaned back on the seat: "I'll take a moment to recover first."

Although he wasn't used to it, this was also part of Andasu's nature; she had galloped over the Flashing Field, claiming four championships with her own power, truly an ace.

"Li Ang!"

Zoe shouted, running over from afar, led to this flat area by the Liger Sisters, seemingly a place Andasu loved to come to.

The chestnut-haired young girl jumped to the side of The Howling Wolf, onto the Flying Wings, gripping the edge of the cockpit.

"Are you okay? I saw the wolf-eared driver take off and bolt away!"

"I'm fine." Li Ang unfastened his seatbelt and got out of the cockpit.

"Is this the speed of a racing boat?" Dorothy smiled wryly on the side. "I originally wanted to take a sightseeing trip. If it's always this speed, I might just have to resign."

"Brother isn't hurt, is he?" ALulu poked out her small head.

"Sorry, I was too excited and lost my composure."

Facing the three young girls, Andasu apologized again.

"There's no choice. I'll just have to try and get used to it."

Li Ang looked towards the stone mountain in the distance: "This is the only way to easily explore the inside completely."

"Li Ang, during the race, you'll be my navigator." Andasu said.

After speaking, she thought of something else, her gaze softened, her beast ears drooped, and she smiled at the corners of her mouth.

"I've never done this." Li Ang said.

"It's not difficult," Penny said beside him, "I was the one doing it before, and I don't know much, just followed the map given by An."

"But I may have to jump out of the Flying Airship mid-air." Li Ang said.

This was originally an anticipated matter; the purpose of flying was to complete the system's map exploration location, and once a hidden location was triggered, he had to rush there.

"Is that Sister Long trapped inside the mountain?" Zoe asked.

"Pretty much." Through Spiritual Driving to ask Fukate and the Platinum King, he confirmed that the other "hidden locations" on this island were not the spots pointed out by the system, only that place was.

Li Ang said to Andasu: "You just have a normal race. I'll leave in the middle on my own. Is it alright without a navigator?"

"I've thoroughly memorized the course."

Andasu said: "Having you as the navigator just seemed... fitting."

She gently voiced the last words.

"Heh." Zoe patted the silver surface outside the cockpit: "You don't even have a chest."

The White Wolf glanced briefly at ALulu, withdrew quickly, then looked at Dorothy, didn't stay long, and finally settled on Zoe's chest for a longer while.

Lips moving slightly, Andasu somewhat reluctantly said: "I'm not worse than you."

"Then let's compare." Zoe, with hands on her hips, said: "I can't compare with them, but I still have something, what are you saying with that flat surface?"

Andasu was momentarily at a loss, gritting her teeth as she looked at the chestnut-haired young girl.

"No need to fight over this; the race is about to start." Li Ang said.

"Yeah." Dorothy chuckled.

"Right, there's nothing to fight over." ALulu said matter-of-factly.

"You all shut up!" Zoe stomped her foot.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Dorothy, after laughing, turned to Li Ang with a serious expression and said: "We were blocked when we came out."

"How so?"

"The staff wouldn't let us take the prize, saying we had to wait until after the race, otherwise it would be difficult to settle accounts." Dorothy said.

Li Ang had anticipated this situation: "And then, they didn't allow you to leave?"

"Exactly." Zoe said: "We knocked them down and came out, but it was kind of strange."

ALulu said: "Those bad guys from The Sandbone Group were supposed to help them, but they just laughed and walked away when called for help; the Sandbone Group didn't respond."

"Did the Sandbone Group leave?" Li Ang pictured the final expression of the Blood Eagle in his mind.

Dorothy recalled: "They all headed northeast; I remember that place is..."

That place is the palace of the Platinum King.

Li Ang said: "Never mind that for now, we'll know later. After we race, you all should head to the high ground of the Dueling Arena..."

...

When The Howling Wolf reached the starting point of the track, many small Flying Airships were already prepared here.

During the days spent in the Flashing Field, traveling between the sand desert and the city, similar small boats could occasionally be seen, but only when gathered did they become so attention-grabbing.

Looking down from the sky, it was like a model exhibition on the ground, and once The Howling Wolf entered among them after landing, it was like entering a completely different world.

For speed, the people here had greatly modified their original designs, and many small boats barely resembled the concept of "Flying Airship."

In the Nebis sky-flying Flying Airships, most had a structure with a Floating Airbag above and a sail-less wooden ship hanging below, a few integrated the cabin and airbag, looking more advanced, such as the shipping vessels of Contan Helm.

These racing boats had bizarre modifications.

Some had almost abandoned all external protection layers, with the internal mechanical structure exposed, covered in sand, with a distinct wasteland style.

Others had a streamlined shape, the surface extremely smooth, purely targeting wind resistance reduction, with a futuristic space opera spaceship vibe.

Some even used Demons to pull the cart, four Two-legged Flying Dragons with shiny scales and smooth fur parked on the track.

"Can that be a racing boat too?" Li Ang couldn't help asking Andasu.

The White Wolf, wearing a mask, only glanced sideways, and said: "As long as it can move, it's legal, where did the sandland merchants find so many engineers who could build racing boats?"

The arrival of The Howling Wolf attracted almost all eyes.

Anyone who had participated in this race would recognize this ship. Even first-time participants, after asking others, would nod respectfully.

In this arena, Andasu was no longer a gang member rolling in the streets or a young girl tightly bound by the Chain of Destiny of the Platinum King; she was the true king.

"The Platinum Ace, he still came."

"Didn't they say The Howling Wolf was taken as a combat skill prize? Did he win it?"

"Didn't you watch? Three mysterious young girls won it, they have no use for the ship, so he must have bought it back, right?"

"Sigh, after the race, can he still receive the favor of the Platinum King?"

"I don't care about that, I came this time to kill him! Last time he cost me a finger!"

Andasu looked straight ahead, completely uninterested in the words of others, and as Li Ang stopped talking to her, she gradually immersed herself in a focused driving state.

"Hello, hello, hello! Everyone, good to see you all again this year, I am your favorite Reed!"

The familiar host stood on a sand high platform not far away, with equipment connected to crystal lenses behind him; such lenses were placed in many parts of the track, transmitting the event to the Flowing Silver Arena.

As soon as he spoke, almost all the racers showed him the middle finger.

"Ahaha, everyone still loves me so much."

Reed was already used to it, he turned around and started speaking into the lens to stir up the event's atmosphere.

Some track judges came over to guide each racing boat to stop at the appropriate starting position following their instructions.

"So, showcasing extreme speed and passion, blood and death, the Platinum Racing begins now!"

Reed's tone grew higher, signifying the race was imminent.

The roar of the engines echoed across the plains along with the whistle and shouts of the racers.

"Smash the opponents, blow their boats up! Let the flames burn their bones to dust! In this sky, there can only be one shade of Platinum Racing boat color! This is Platinum Racing!

"Now counting down!

"Three, two..."

Just before the countdown to departure ended, Andasu turned her head, gazing at Li Ang.

"I will show you the true Platinum Sky."

Her gaze transitioned from gentle to resolute as The Howling Wolf roared into the track.
