"..."
The little elk blinked its eyes a few tis, its face innocently silent, without speaking.
Soon after.
Santa's sleigh gradually ca to a halt.
Chen Yi removed the chanical elks from the sleigh and harnessed the little elk, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a carrot, looking seriously at the little elk.
"Do you understand what you need to do?"
"If you do well, you'll get this carrot as a reward."
"..."
Tuberculosis Rabbit sighed with his palm on his forehead, speechlessly saying, "Yi, it's an elk, not a rabbit, carrots won't work to tempt it."
The next second—
The elk, only slightly bigger than a Husky, gulped down the carrot from Chen Yi's hand, chewed it a few tis, and then raised its head to swallow it.
Crunchy.
Afterward, it nodded several tis with bright eyes and willingly put on the harness, its face brimming with confidence, as if steering the sleigh was no challenge at all.
"..."
After a long silence, Tuberculosis Rabbit pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and took a deep breath, then stared at the little elk with a complicated expression.
"How tough must your past have been?"
"That old man Santa Claus isn't abusing you every day, is he?"
Then, the sleigh took off again.
This ti, it was much better.
The reins between the elk and the sleigh were taut, the elk seed fully in control at this speed, and a rainbow glow could even be seen under the hooves of the running little elk.
Chen Yi tugged at the left rein.
The elk steered to the left in coordination, and the sleigh followed suit.
When Chen Yi connected the reins to the automatic cruising system—
The cruising system began to control the reins automatically according to the mapped route.
"This is kind of absurd."
Tuberculosis Rabbit, sitting inside the sleigh, turned to look at the fifteen nitrogen injection cylinders at the rear of the sleigh, with their fifteen red flas continuously sprayed backward, forming circles of Mach cones that looked like stars, exceptionally dazzling.
And in front, a little elk with a harness, stepping on rainbow starlight.
The scene in front of them seed very strange.
"But then again,"
Tuberculosis Rabbit hesitated before speaking, "If the elk is capable of handling this speed, what's the need for these injection cylinders? Why not just use the elk as the initial power source?"
"No,"
Chen Yi shook his head, pointing at the instrunt panel in the cockpit: "The current speed is still provided by the injection cylinders. I did ask the elk to speed up just now, but obviously, it couldn't exceed this top speed."
"It seems that the elk possesses the power to handle the speed rather than create it. After all, this elk has a four-digit number, and Santa Claus's sleigh has more than just this one elk."
The scenery outside the window flew by.
In fact, if they were just counteracting Blue Star's rotation, they wouldn't need the sleigh to be this fast.
But their journey wasn't a straight path.
They had to circumvent many obstacles along the way, which ant they couldn't simply rely on straight-line acceleration; also, they needed to allow for so margin of error to avoid being too pressed.
Most importantly, they were not short on Points.
...
Soon.
There was only one minute left until Santa Claus's arrival.
And Chen Yi and the others were fully prepared.
Could a re Santa Claus turn the world upside down?
"Ding, Santa Claus has arrived, and his real-ti coordinates will now appear on the players' map. Please prepare to escape."
"Let see where Santa Claus has landed."
Chen Yi slightly raised his eyebrows as he opened the map, and when he saw where Santa Claus had landed, he sighed with slight regret.
Santa Claus had landed at the Equator, right behind them at that mont.
Originally, he had thought that if it went by the background story of Blue Star, the Arctic Circle should be Santa Claus's ho. If Santa Claus had landed in the Arctic Circle,
Since it was polar day there, Santa Claus wouldn't be able to move in accordance with the setting that Santa Claus can't move during the dayti.
That would have been fun.
Unfortunately, it seed there were no loopholes to exploit.
"Then we run."
Chen Yi snorted coldly with a face full of disdain, "I'd like to see if you can catch up to within 24 hours."
A grand and mighty escape journey officially began.
You flee, I chase.
I chase, you flee.
Chen Yi controlled the snow sled, chasing after the sun continuously; the little red dot of Santa Claus always remained far behind them, unable to draw near.
A full five hours went by.
The sun above Chen Yi's head showed no signs of setting, perfectly embodying what it ant for the sun to never set.
And that formidable Santa was unable to so much as touch a single hair of theirs in those five hours.
"What a pity."
Chen Yi stood on the snow sled, looking at the little red dot of Santa Claus on the map, and shook his head with regret, "It's a pity we don't have so powerful offensive ans; otherwise, we could kill the neutral boss of December in May."
"That would be a lot of rewards."
"Yi."
Tuberculosis Rabbit, after mulling over for a while, finally began to suggest, "Perhaps there's not no way."
"Let's assu, according to the setting, that Santa Claus's ho really is in the Arctic Circle."
"Wouldn't he also have a grandfather or sothing?"
"What if we go to the Arctic Circle and kill his grandfather? With your skill, wouldn't that also take care of this Santa guy?"
"No, that's wrong, Annihilate Nine Clans works on 999 clans."
"To wipe out this Santa guy's entire lineage."
"..."
Chen Yi, with a strange expression, pondered for a long ti before shaking his head, "It's not feasible; a tiger's grandfather isn't a soft tiger, Santa's grandfather is also probably not sothing easy to ss with."
"Most importantly, my Annihilate Nine Clans skill has a 48-hour cooldown, and I already used it when I just collected enough Points; it's still cooling down now."
"Okay then."
Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded seriously, "But now I have a more important issue, Yi, I need to use the toilet, and you seem to have not included any in-flight toilet options."
"Uh..."
Chen Yi looked at the distance between them and Santa Claus on the map and controlled the snow sled to slowly stop, landing in an open area.
"This place will do."
Three minutes later.
"Why is it black?"
"... You forgot, Yi, that this morning, to open Tie Chui's treasure chest, I used the 'Have a Cup of Coffee' skill, right?"
"That skill lasts for 24 hours, and it's still in effect now."
"Oh... It's my first ti seeing sothing like this, kind of peculiar; no worries, carry on."
After taking care of business,
They once again mounted the snow sled and started their escape.
Soon, a full 23 hours had passed.
