"Huh!"

In the strong wind, one of the four cotton ropes connecting the cotton net pocket and the rattan basket had been basically broken, and in a hurry, Chu Fan took out the Longquan sword, opened the door on the rattan basket, leaned out, and swung his sword to cut the hemp rope firmly tied to the bottom of the rattan basket.

The hot air balloon rushed out like a wild horse that had just broken free, and it was rushing towards the west, and its height was rapidly increasing; Under the joint force, Chu Fan stepped on the air with one foot, and the whole person fell out of the rattan basket at once!

Fortunately, his other hand was firmly grasped on the stick on the edge of the rattan basket, and although his whole body was already suspended in the air, he still hung from the rattan basket; And the crowd on the ground who were looking up could not stop bursting into a sharp exclamation!

The two girls in the rattan basket were also screaming in fright, and Yan Ruxue even reflexively grabbed Chu Fan's clothes between the ribs, and she was almost taken out of the rattan basket!

The wind was still extremely strong, but without the fetters of the hemp rope, the hot air balloon rose with the wind, and the rattan basket stabilized and returned to a horizontal position.

"Don't tear your clothes, take the sword first!" After a very short period of panic, Chu Fan quickly came back to his senses and handed the hilt of the Longquan Sword in his hand to Yan Ruxue; The latter's mood also calmed down a little, and after taking the sword and placing it at the bottom of the rattan basket, he reached out again and grabbed Chu Fan's clothes.

Without the sword in his hand, Chu Fan exerted his waist and abdomen, and his other hand also climbed the upper edge of the rattan basket, and with a hook of his left foot, he hooked the edge of the door of the rattan basket; He didn't dare to exert himself too hard, for fear of breaking the cotton rope on the rattan basket.

Trying to climb up a little bit, Chu Fan finally knelt in the rattan basket with one leg, and then gently supported it, and the whole person completely rolled into the rattan basket.

After closing the door of the rattan basket, Chu Fan had time to breathe a sigh of relief—the swishing coolness on his back made him understand what kind of sweat he had just had!

From cutting the hemp rope to Chu Fan's return to the rattan basket. The whole process took only a few minutes, but the hot air balloon had already crossed the small strait between Ushido and Jeju Island under strong winds and came to the newly circled settlement No. 4. The height of the hot air balloon also quickly rose to several hundred meters, and the people in Settlement No. 4 below the rattan basket looked like a swarm of black ants.

This is also the reason why Chu Fan dared to cut the hemp rope on the spot just now: the wind is blowing from east to west, and the west of Udodo Island happens to be the vast Jeju Island; If the wind direction is in the other three directions, Chu Fan may have to hesitate - the other three sides are the sea. Even if the hemp rope is cut, God knows where it will blow them to, and it will not be easy to ask for help in the vast sea!

But now the crisis of the broken rope and the fall of the basket has been resolved, but a new crisis is in front of the three of them - how to go down?!

The frightened Chu Fan's first thought was to throw the brazier in its entirety, but he immediately rejected this idea generated by intuition - yesterday's experiment was the first time he had taken a hot air balloon in two lifetimes, and he didn't know anything about the characteristics and temper of this thing, and if he acted rashly, in case there was no brazier. It's going to be a lot of fun!

However, the brazier can't be thrown, but the firepower must be reduced - Chu Fan picked up the tongs at the bottom of the rattan basket, carefully sandwiched two pieces of red steel charcoal in the brazier and threw it out.

Hanging in the air, and there was no obvious reference, Chu Fan couldn't tell whether the hot air balloon continued to rise or descend a little, and after a little hesitation, Chu Fan grabbed a few pieces of steel charcoal again and threw it out.

After clipping off about half of the steel charcoal, Chu Fan leaned over and looked at the herd of cattle, sheep and horses like small black dots under his feet. He felt that the rise of the hot air balloon had been stopped.

But at this moment, even more trouble came!

The terrifying thick black clouds in the eastern sky had caught up with the hot air balloon. The misty rain and fog shrouded the hot air balloon, and the bean-sized ice rain smashed into the brazier from time to time, making a "zizi" sound.

Chu Fan was horrified!

I can't see anything clearly, and if this brazier is extinguished again......

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The dark clouds seemed to cover the sky in an instant, and it was still morning, and the whole world was as dark as evening; It came with the gloomy sky. There was also a torrential downpour, which was mixed with hail the size of soybeans from time to time.

Niu Island in the heavy rain has become a mess - Chu Fan was blown away in front of everyone, how can people not be anxious?

The hall in the center of the walled city, which was usually used for meetings, was now crowded with people; With Chen Shangren as the center, the leaders of each group and many people who were at the scene at the time formed a circle. The twitter is either describing the situation or making his own proposals.

Chen Shangren, who was in the center, frowned into the word "Sichuan", and while listening to the gossip, he quickly calculated how to act next.

According to the description of witnesses at the scene, Chen Shangren quickly understood the principle of the hot air balloon, which is nothing more than a large Kong Ming lantern, which rises when there is a fire and descends when the fire is extinguished; In addition, the hot air balloon was floating away in the direction of Jeju Island, so he was not too worried about the lives of the three of them - he believed that with Chu Fan's cleverness, he would definitely be able to land the hot air balloon safely.

What he is most worried about now is, what will happen after landing?

If it can fall on the hometown of the Liu family, then the problem is not very big, and the three of them are at most drenched in soup; But if you drift further west and drift into Hallasan, it will be a big trouble!

He had long known that there were many bandits in the Halla Mountains, and if he encountered any horse bandits......

He didn't dare to think any further, and after a deep sigh, he turned his head to look out of the hall.

All the forces on the land of the Fuliao Army were concentrated near the Liu family's mansion, and the worst thing was that Liu Zhongwen and they couldn't know about what happened on Niu Island!

What's even worse is this damn weather!

You don't need to look at the mist of white flowers smashed by the rainstorm outside the door, just listen to the dense sound of rain on the tiles overhead to know how big this rain is; Not to mention the howling of wolves, the wind howled like a wolf, knocking the door of the hall from time to time!

In this kind of weather, no ship dares to go to sea easily!

So how should Liu Zhongwen be notified?

The most anxious person in the hall was not Manager Chen, but Doudou, Xiancha and Xiaoluo.

As the captain of the guard, Doudou's safety is his greatest responsibility, and now that people are flying away under his nose, how can he not be frightened?

The little guy now has two tears in his eyes, and looks helplessly at the two maid sisters, and Xiancha looks calm on the surface, but he is actually very anxious in his heart - the hot air balloon was blown away and is still hidden from Zhang's family, and I don't know how long it can be hidden!

The little snail beside her was full of tears, and muttered nervously, "You must find a way to get over!" Be sure to pass! ”

In the midst of broken thoughts, Xiao Luo looked up, and his eyes lit up! (To be continued.) )
