The hot air balloon take-off site is very close to the hotel, just on the other side of the entrance to the crater reserve, which can be reached in just a few minutes by car. When Hong Tao and his convoy arrived at the take-off site, several black employees were inflating several hot air balloons on the lawn.

"Hong Tao, this thing can't be dangerous, right? I look at how I am so hanging! The fat boss's guts eventually prevailed over Lust and began to get scared.

"It's okay, I've been in Canada, it's more stable than a plane, it's just a little slower, anyway, we don't rush, it's just right." Before Hong Tao could make up nonsense to comfort the fat boss, Boss Liu spoke.

The hot air balloon on the ground slowly inflated under the blowing of the heater. This thing is not too big when it is spread on the ground, but it is really big when it is puffed up, according to Hong Tao's visual measurement, the height is probably about 30 meters, and the diameter is about the same. When it is fully bulging, it is like a tall building floating on everyone's head, which is very oppressive.

"This is an AX-10 hot air balloon with a maximum volume of 6,000 cubic meters, which can load us all and fly for about 3 hours." Pan seemed to know a lot about hot air balloons, and when he saw Hong Tao stretching out his finger as if he wanted to measure the size of the hot air balloon, he explained to him next to him.

"Then why are we hiring so many?" Hong Tao counted, there were about 4 hot air balloons inflated on the ground, and there didn't seem to be any other tourists around.

"There are two to carry luggage, and the remaining two are manned, and the fewer people there are, the more time there is to fly." Pan's answer made Hong Tao guess that this was mostly arranged by her.

In fact, taking a hot air balloon is not as simple as imagined, climb up and be done, before getting on the hot air balloon, two black employees also gave everyone a simple training. The training focused on safety issues, including how to turn off the heater, how to use the fire extinguisher, how to land the balloon if something unexpected happened, and so on. In the end, they also checked everyone's clothes and made sure that they were not made of chemical fiber before they were allowed to board the hanging basket.

Originally, Hong Tao thought that there was a space in the hanging basket, and everyone could just stand in it and fly, but in fact, there were still a few seats in the hanging basket made of rattan, and everyone needed to bring a safety rope and lock it on the fixing bolt of the hanging basket.

There were a total of 5 people in this hot air balloon that Hong Tao was riding, a black pilot, Pan and the fat boss and the Dutch urinate, Wei Han was originally in this hanging basket, but the fat boss was sent to another hanging basket with a look.

In the same order as the convoy, it was Hong Tao and their hot air balloon that took off first. When the black driver pulled the handle of the heater, with a loud roar, several meters of flame erupted from the heater nozzle, and in an instant the hot air balloon began to rise, after several workers on the ground untied the cable. The hanging basket was like an elevator, and suddenly it sprang up. Getting higher and higher off the ground.

When I first sat in the hanging basket. Hong Tao told himself in his heart: Although we have never sat on this thing, don't be nervous! There's no danger, isn't it just standing in a basket! Be sure to calm down!

But in my heart, I was really not very obedient, knowing that Lu Dao would have to fly sooner or later, but when the hanging basket just left the ground and rushed to the sky. Hong Tao's hands and feet were still involuntarily numb.

"Dumplings, I heard them call you that, this is your English name? You don't have to be so nervous, as long as there is no strong wind. A hot air balloon is more stable than an airplane. Pan was standing on Hong Tao's left, and I don't know how she could see that Hong Tao was a little nervous.

"I'm not nervous, I think it's good!" Hong Tao felt that although he was really nervous in his heart, he shouldn't have shown it on the surface, Pan's words should be said according to ordinary logic, and he had to be different.

"Well, the first time I sat in this, the screams scared the driver out of the way, and I almost forgot to breathe fire. Men don't have to be better than women in every aspect, it's not men, it's supermen. When you get to the hunting area, you will find that no matter how hard you try, you still can't catch up with me in some aspects, will you be angry at that time? Pan didn't plan to save face for Hong Tao, what he said was a bit feminist.

"Okay, I'm a little nervous, but you're saying this too directly, and it hurts people's pride, especially men." Hong Tao's skin has reached a certain level, and Pan's tone of voice is not too hurtful compared to Zhou Xiaoli.

"Haha Pan did not take Hong Tao's advice.

"In our Chinese language, you are a rose." Hong Tao felt that English was so simple, so simple that it lacked a lot of words with associations, which also greatly limited his verbal skills.

"I haven't been to China, but I know that roses are a beautiful plant, is that a compliment? Or does it mean something else? Pan's thinking was very quick, and he immediately heard what Hong Tao said.

"The rose is beautiful, but its leaves and branches are full of spikes." Since he was talking to a smart person, Hong Tao didn't need to explain in such detail.

"Ha, that's right, that's a good description, I like it very much, it should be a compliment, right?" Sure enough, Pan immediately understood.

"Hong Tao, look at it, look at our bottom!" Hong Tao and Pan were chatting hotly, when suddenly the fat boss's shout came.

"Zebra! That's a lot! Pan, what are those animals? The fat boss was about to lie outside the hanging basket at this time, and he was holding a camera in his hand to play a life photo under the hanging basket, if it wasn't for the safety rope hanging on his waist, he would probably have to fall.

At this time, the hot air balloon was far away from the take-off field, and it was buzzing over the crater, and it was strange to say that after the sun came out, the fog of the crater disappeared, and the whole crater revealed its true face.

Under their hanging basket, there is a large meadow, from the sky, the grass is covered with animals, there can be hundreds, some of them are very recognizable, black and white striped zebras, and the other part is not easy to distinguish from the sky.

"The wildebeest herd, this is the wildebeest that lives here all year round, and their large army is still coming, but it's coming soon, if only I could see the migrating wildebeest, I can't describe the scene." Pan looked down at random and could tell that all but the zebras were wildebeests.

"By the way, Yerong said that most of the animals in the East African steppes are here, but there is one animal that does not, do you know what the Dao is?" Hong Tao suddenly remembered the little exam question that the Netherlands peed for himself, when will he not cheat at this time?

"Actually, you don't need me to tell you, you can find out, but since you asked me, and you asked so sneakily, you must have made a bet with him, if you are willing to share a little bet with me, I will tell you!" Pan noticed that Hong Tao's voice was very low when he spoke, and immediately guessed Hong Tao's thoughts.

"It's not a good thing that a woman is too smart! Well, the bet splits your half. Hong Tao really admires Pan's brain, and he has been in contact with her for a few hours, as if he didn't have the upper hand once.

"It's a giraffe!" Pan didn't care about Hong Tao's evaluation, leaned into Hong Tao's ear, and told Hong Tao the answer.

"Giraffes? Why would there be no giraffes? The answer was very unexpected, he originally thought that it was a very small and inconspicuous animal, and giraffes seemed to be found everywhere in Africa, except for the desert areas of North Africa.

"This is a crater, and both people and animals have to climb over this circle of mountains to get into the crater." Pan seemed to be tired of standing, and as soon as he turned around, he sat on the edge of the hanging basket, grasping the sling of the hanging basket with his right hand.

"Climbing a mountain? So you mean giraffes don't climb mountains? "This is the first time Hong Tao has heard that giraffes can't climb mountains, but thinking about their size, it may really be the truth, the center of gravity is too high.

"I guess, I haven't seen a giraffe in the crater anyway." Pan didn't seem to think that this position was uncomfortable, so he simply straddled his left leg over the basket and rode on the edge of the basket. (To be continued......)
