Chapter 417: Accidental Fall
It took two days for Wenlong and his entourage to enter the territory of Xiqi Country in a hot air balloon, and then it took another day to reach the destination called Jieyun Village.
This Jieyun village is located in the middle of the mountains and is surrounded by beautiful scenery. The whole village is also built on the mountain, and from the air, you can see that there are many places with mist, showing the appearance of a fairyland on earth.
"Mr. Cat, why is there a lot of white mist floating above this Jieyun Village?" Seeing this, Catherine also asked curiously.
"It's normal to have fog, after all, this is a famous hot spring town, and the so-called fog is actually steam, meow." Wen Long pointed to the place where the white mist shrouded him and said.
At this time, the hot air balloon had reached the top of Jieyun Village, and it should have landed nearby, but because Jieyun Village was built on a mountain, most of the buildings were located on the slopes of the slope, which caused Lindis to search for a long time above Jieyun Village and did not find a flat and spacious open space for the hot air balloon to land.
"It seems that we can't land in Jieyun Village, let's go somewhere else first......" After confirming that there was no place for the hot air balloon to land, Lindis had no choice but to say this to Wenlong and the others.
"It's okay, Sister Lindis, I'm not in a hurry to ...... for a while anyway" Catherine immediately agreed to Lindis's proposal.
Under Lindis's control, the balloon began to move away from the top of Yukumo Village and continued to move forward, with the aim of finding a suitable place to land. But fortunately, it didn't take long for Wenlong and the others to find an open space just enough for the hot air balloon to land.
"Here, it should be fine, now I'm going to lower the height, you guys hurry up. Prepare for the impact......" Lindis said aloud.
Although it is enough open space for hot air balloons to land, the mountains are not only unpredictable and turbulent, but also full of sharp rocks, and if you are not careful, you can crash into the rocks and cause casualties. So before landing. Lindis was also cautious, and reminded Wenlong and the others loudly.
"Understood, Sister Lindis, please don't worry about our ......" According to Lindis's request, Wenlong and the others hurriedly grabbed the rope on the hot air balloon and waited for the hot air balloon to land.
At this time, Lindis turned off the furnace that heated the hot air balloon, and the temperature of the gas inside the hot air balloon began to decrease, and as the temperature dropped, the height of the hot air balloon began to sink gradually.
"Fifty meters in height...... Forty-five meters high...... Forty meters high...... Thirty-five meters high......" under the manipulation of Lindis. The balloon began to descend steadily, and although the turbulent currents in the mountains had a certain effect on the balloon's flight trajectory, Lindis still managed to effectively control the balloon's flight trajectory with her excellent balloon handling skills.
"Thirty meters high...... Height 25 meters...... Height 20 meters...... Alright, it's about to land......" continued Lindis, who was maneuvering the hot air balloon.
However, just when Lindis thought that the hot air balloon was about to land, suddenly an unidentified monster rushed out of the blind spot of Wen Long and the others' field of vision, and then flew directly towards the hot air balloon.
"Be careful, there's something, meow!" The first to issue a warning was Wenlong.
Wen Long was the first to notice a monster approaching. At the same time as Wenlong issued a warning, Begonia had already opened the hunting bow in his hand. He aimed his arrow at the menacing monster. After all, if you are in mid-air, Begonia with long-range attack ability is the most suitable for sniping enemies.
And at this time, Wen Long finally saw the figure of the monster completely.
In terms of general appearance, this monster has the characteristics of the bird dragon species, but the front beak is longer than that of the big monster bird, and it has a unique red vocalizing air sac on the chest, which looks quite weird.
"Oh. It turned out to be just a colorful bird, and it dared to attack us, Uncle Ben, I thought it was a great big guy......" When he saw the monster's figure clearly, Wen Long quickly recognized the identity of the monster, but Wen Long did not panic. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and took back the hand that was about to draw his double knife.
This is because Wenlong felt that there was no need to let himself make a move at all.
Because Wen Long knew in his heart that this so-called colored bird was just a medium-sized bird dragon monster in the final analysis, and in terms of strength and threat, it was not as good as the silver sleeping bird that Wen Long and the others had hunted, so it was not worth making a fuss.
After all, even if Wen Long himself is not considered, there are two five-star high-level hunters on this hot air balloon, and it is no problem to deal with a medium-sized ornithosaurus species.
At this time, Begonia's arrows have completed charging, and the colored bird has also entered the effective range of Begonia, it seems that as long as Begonia releases its finger, the charged arrow can send this monster to Hades.
However, at the moment when Begonia's arrow was about to shoot out, what Wenlong and the others didn't expect was that Lindis, who had been manipulating the hot air balloon before, suddenly shouted.
"Don't!"
"Huh? What's wrong? Hearing Lindis's shout, Begonia was stunned for a moment, and the arrow in her hand hesitated for a moment, and it was at this moment that the colorful bird suddenly approached the top of the hot air balloon.
"Poof!"
Suddenly, a viscous liquid protrudes from the mouth of the painted bird, and such a liquid quickly covers the outer layer of the hot air balloon. And it sticks to it like oil.
In fact, this viscous liquid is an oil, and it is an extremely flammable oil!
"Oh no......" and by the time Wenlong realized this, it was too late to make a move, because in the next instant, the colorful bird closed its two wings towards the middle, collided with each other, and then made a sound like gravel hitting each other, and at the same time, a large number of sparks flew out from between the wings of the colorful bird.
"Smack!"
Even Wenlong couldn't stop this from happening, and when the sparks from the impact splashed down on the hot air balloon covered in viscous liquid, the entire hot air balloon was ignited in an instant.
The ignited hot air balloon instantly lost its lift and fell directly from a height of twenty meters at once.
"Be careful! Meow! ”
Although for Wen Long and the others, with a strong body trained by hunting, coupled with the super protective performance of the armor on their bodies, even if they fall from a height of more than 20 meters, it is not a big problem, and they generally do not suffer much damage. But as a royal bachelor who holds books all day long, because she has not undergone corresponding exercise, the situation at this time is quite dangerous.
Not only could she be injured by a fall, but the fragments of the ignited hot air balloon could also leave burn marks if they landed on her body, which was a non-negligible injury for Lindis without armor. (To be continued.) )
