Chapter 89 Mysterious Tiankeng, Terrible Downdraft
Although I almost didn't calm down all night, I finally got through the long night without any danger. After a night of rest and recovery, I have fully recovered.
After retracting the rope bracket, I thought for a while and simply took out the flying skateboard, found a flat place, and started the aircraft directly.
Following a piercing roar, people took off directly into the air, passed through the layers of tree canopy, and rushed hundreds of meters into the air in the blink of an eye, finally seeing the topography of the entire primeval forest.
It turns out that the current location is not in a vast plain. It was just a matter of luck that I happened to be traveling along a canyon several miles wide, so I didn't realize that there were endless rolling mountains all around.
After rushing to an altitude of nearly a thousand meters, I quickly observed the surrounding situation with a telescope. I found no trace of human activities, but I found a small stream more than ten miles away.
If there are humans in this world, generally speaking, as long as you walk downstream along the river, you should be able to find traces of human activities, so after discovering the small stream, you immediately made a decision.
After determining the direction of the river, I quickly fell back to the ground. However, the fifteen liters of fuel that had been in the sky for about three minutes had been consumed less than half. I can only say that this thing is easy to use, but it burns fuel really well.
It's too powerful.
…
After refilling the fuel bag with fuel, the turbojet was cleaned and maintained, and then the aircraft was put away and headed in the direction of the river.
The distance of more than ten miles is not that far, but it took more than an hour to reach the destination. Looking at the rather fast water, he took out a bag.
What was inside was an inflatable kayak. I let go of the rolled-up kayak, found the inflation port, connected it to the automatic inflation device, and pressed the inflation button.
Within a moment, a small kayak was produced, and then the kayak was thrown into the water. People also jumped onto the kayak lightly and began a relaxing rafting trip.
Although I bumped into some rocks with water chestnuts from time to time along the way, the quality of this thing is really good. It is said that it can't be cut with a knife. It's not all bragging. The more than 600 US dollars spent when ordering it didn't matter.
White flowers.
…
The speed of going down the river is quite fast. Of course, the most important thing is to be relaxed and comfortable. However, after only two or three hours of drifting, I heard the roar of the waterfall. I was not willing to take risks, so I had to go ashore early.
I put away the kayak again and continued walking along the stream for several hundred meters, but I saw a huge sinkhole. After the stream fell into the huge sinkhole, it did not form any pond but disappeared directly into the ground.
It became an underground river.
After looking around for a long time, he could not find where the river was flowing. However, the shape of the huge tiankeng and the surrounding environment reminded Li Xiao of the Xiaozhai Tiankeng, known as the world's largest tiankeng.
However, this idea was rejected in an instant, because only underground rivers flowed through Xiaozhai Tiankeng, and there were no small streams on the ground that directly formed small waterfalls.
Of course, the shapes of this huge tiankeng and the Xiaozhai tiankeng look somewhat similar. Maybe it’s just a coincidence. Of course, it’s also possible that they are in different parallel worlds with different timelines and different topography.
It seems that Xiaozhai Tiankeng is not far from the Yangtze River. Maybe you can find traces of the Yangtze River by flying high in the sky. If you find traces of the Yangtze River, of course you can go down the river and look for traces of civilization.
As for whether there are humans in this world and whether civilization has evolved, it is difficult to say for the time being. In different worlds, any situation may happen.
…
He took out the flying skateboard again, found a flat place, then stood on the aircraft, activated the aircraft and took off again.
However, just a few hundred meters into the air, something unexpected happened. The originally calm and sunny weather suddenly became turbulent, and a swirling airflow similar to a tornado suddenly appeared all around.
Although Li Xiao flew to the side immediately, he was still sucked into the falling tornado that quickly formed. He was directly dizzy by the strong airflow and was unable to control the aircraft at all.
"Fuck!" He cursed in a depressed tone, quickly put away the aircraft, took out the parachute and carried it on his back, letting the violent air flow carry him with it.
Although this sudden change made Li Xiao a little uneasy, he couldn't say he was too worried. As long as he waited for the violent airflow to end, he would naturally fall back to the ground, and then he could open his parachute and land safely.
…
As the saying goes, ideals are full and reality is thin. I originally thought that it would be easy to land from a skydive in this high place with my own ability.
However, what I never expected was that after floating up and down in the fierce wind for several minutes, I suddenly encountered a vertical downward component of airflow and rushed towards the bottom of the crater at an extremely high speed. The parachute could not even
It cannot be opened.
Fortunately, I had thought about the possibility that the parachute would not open, so I deliberately prepared an airbag, which is also an action thing. In case of emergency, the thing can be smashed to the ground.
The explosives in the airbag will be ignited instantly to form a huge airbag to relieve a large amount of impact force. However, this situation is not a pure free fall, but is pushed rapidly towards the ground by the vertical downward airflow. It is dangerous.
The coefficient is extremely high.
Seeing that the altitude was already less than 100 meters, the downward airflow never slowed down. The downward impact speed exceeded 80 meters per second. I could only hold on to the airbag tightly and concentrate on carefully observing the rapidly approaching people.
ground.
In a state of high mental concentration, everything around you slows down seven to eight times. This ability also gives you the opportunity to find the best opportunity.
The height was less than thirty meters, and the airbag in his hand was finally smashed out. The moment the small box hit the ground, the explosives inside were instantly activated. The airflow caused by the explosion instantly turned the small box into an airbag with a diameter of more than 1.5 meters.
.
Li Xiao also made a rapid spin, hitting the airbag with his buttocks. After being ejected by the airbag, he quickly twisted in the air, successfully landed on the ground, and rolled again, removing the last of the airbag.
of impact.
Although it seemed easy, I was actually scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat. Due to the limitation of storage space, I just prepared one. This thing is just a consistent consumable. If this happens again next time, then
But that would be a big problem.
…
I sat on the ground and calmed down for a while, finally allowing my rapidly beating heart to calm down. But when I looked up at the entrance of the huge sinkhole, the weather had already returned to a calm and sunny state.
I just looked at the beautiful weather that day, but I really didn't have the courage to activate the aircraft and fly out directly. Why there was inexplicable violent airflow fluctuations just now, maybe it had something to do with the sinkhole.
Don't try it rashly before you figure it out. If you are caught in the violent airflow and hit the ground again, there will be no airbag to save your life. With your current physique, you can really withstand the huge impact.
