After Fan Li and others had breakfast, they were ready to set off.
Mai Ziwen took the small steel bottle prepared last night and slowly poured it into the reaction tank under the base of the hot air balloon.
Everyone also gathered supplies and put them into the base of the balloon.
This was Fan Li's first close contact with a hot air balloon. From his modern perspective, this hot air balloon has a strong flavor of the times and the equipment is relatively simple.
The materials inside are quite complete, and a lot of them are Tesla's experimental equipment.
However, Fan Li had no intention of admiring this at this time, because he had already seen the figure of the leader and the soldiers in horseback moving towards this side indistinctly.
Fan Li cocked the gun and said, "The enemy is attacking. Move the remaining luggage to the balloon and leave quickly!"
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
However, before the balloon could take off in a hurry, the leader rushed over with his men.
This time they brought bows, arrows and spears.
Apparently, they changed their attack plan because of the discovery of the hot air balloon.
Fan Li raised his hand to kill the soldier in front with a single shot, and then helped everyone jump into the hot air balloon.
After the hot air balloon was dropped from the load, it immediately rose up precariously.
When the leader saw this, he immediately rushed up with his men, shooting arrows at Fan Li and the others like raindrops.
The wooden base of the balloon was immediately shot with countless arrows.
Fan Li finally untied the fixed rope and grabbed one end of the rope to climb up.
Arrows and spears were all fired at Fan Lichan.
Fortunately, it had reached a certain height, and Fan Li narrowly managed to climb into the balloon.
Tesla helped drag Fan Li in, "Fan Li, we have been saved. We are really in danger."
Fan Li was panting, "Although it is very backward and not as good as helicopters, we are also an air force."
Hannah thought he was joking, "This does have its benefits."
Finally getting away from the lingering warriors, everyone felt particularly relaxed.
The balloon circled the cliff and prepared to go home from the other side.
It's just that there are too many mountains on this side. When they reached the highest mountain, they encountered strong air currents, causing the balloon to sway and rise.
Chloe grabbed the cable tightly, "Oh my God, what is this?"
Tesla quickly deflated the air and tried to lower its altitude. "Updraft!"
Mai Ziwen helped, "Professor, I have never encountered this kind of situation."
Fan Li helped stabilize it, "Everyone, hold on to the inner wall of the base and the cables, lower the center of gravity as much as possible, pay attention to safety, and don't be thrown away."
Amid violent shaking and turbulence, the hot air balloon rose to an unprecedented height, surrounded by clouds, and entered a storm zone with lightning and thunder.
Suddenly, the surroundings of the hot air balloon became foggy, nothing could be seen, and the temperature dropped sharply.
At this point, Tesla didn’t dare to deflate anymore and said, “Stabilize everything.”
Chloe screamed, "Oh, it can't happen, please help!"
Hannah hurriedly grabbed her and said, "It will be over soon."
Fan Li tried his best to wrap a safety rope between the cables, "Whoops, no, it's going to take us into the center of the storm!"
Fortunately, in the end everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The hot air balloon seemed to have passed through the center of the storm and became much calmer.
Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, it's finally stable."
Everyone's mood became much calmer, and they all looked towards the light through the mist ahead.
"Boom." There was a loud noise.
The hot air balloon hit the depths of the translucent mist, and fell suddenly as if struck by thunder.
Tesla and the others have encountered this situation once.
It was that time when they rushed into the light group that they accidentally crossed into the Tianwu world.
However, this time it is not a real light group, but a cliff.
"ah……"
Amidst the screams of everyone, their minds were confused and they suddenly fell into endless darkness.
When Mai Ziwen regained consciousness, he found that he was hanging upside down from a huge tree trunk by the balloon's cable.
Fortunately, the height from the ground is very low, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable, "Where is this?"
He turned over and struggled down the tree. He unexpectedly saw Hannah climbing up from the bushes, "Hannah!"
Hannah was startled and said, "Mai Ziwen, be careful."
She was very worried when she saw Mai Ziwen climbing down awkwardly from the big tree.
Mai Ziwen simply slid down the rope and said, "I'm here, we're still alive."
On the thick grass on the ground, Chloe pushed Fan Li who was pressing on her, "You seem to have landed on me."
Fan Li also woke up, "To be precise, it was you who prevented me from landing successfully."
Chloe's eyes widened and she pushed Fan Li away hard, "Fuck you..."
Everyone escaped safely and watched around the hot air balloon.
Mai Ziwen carefully inspected the balloon and said, "The test flights have been flawless many times. This time, it seems we are luckier than the balloon."
Chloe was discouraged, "It looks like the balloon is broken."
Fan Li looked up at the balloon hanging on the branch, "It seems that most of the structure is still normal. It will be fine if it is overhauled and reused."
Mai Ziwen shook his head, "I think after this time, it won't be able to continue flying."
Tesla looked at it and said, "We will try our best to repair it, and others will help set up the tent."
But they didn't realize that deep in the jungle, there was a primitive savage covered in hair, peeping at them greedily.
Fan Li nodded, "Okay, let's get started immediately. The sky here still needs us to conquer."
With more people and greater strength, the tent was quickly set up.
Chloe volunteered to go hunting.
Hannah rolled her eyes and said, "Try not to go too far. After the tent is set up here, I will go back to find you."
Chloe walked into the jungle in a good mood.
"Chi chi chi chi, chi chi chi..."
When she walked into a relatively sparse forest, a strange bird call attracted her attention.
"Psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss from with with one another's voice."
Because this bird's song is so rare, she thought it was a special species.
Sure enough, the chirping of birds echoed her whistle.
Chloe followed the birdsong, but she didn't see any birds. Instead, she saw huge and bright flowers everywhere.
Moreover, almost all the plants here are huge, not only colorful, but also shaped in layers, like vegetation grafted by different plants.
Chloe raised her head suddenly and looked up. The ancient trees were vicissitudes of life, the vines were dense, and all the vegetation was colorful and huge.
This feeling cannot be described in words at all. It is shocking and beautiful.
"Chichijijiu..."
The birds chirped again, and this time, Chloe was stunned.
Because she was shocked to find that it was not the sound of birds at all, but the sound of a strange flower over one meter high on the ground that looked like a giant morning glory.
How is this possible?
Chloe cautiously reached out and gently touched the big and gorgeous morning glory next to her.
With a swish, the flower suddenly rolled up like a mimosa, like an elongated rugby ball.
But Chloe dared to conclude that her aunt Mimosa was not as sensitive as this flower.
