Chapter 731: Rookie Soars to

the Sky Riding on the horse, Zhou Xu looked up at the hot air balloon that had increased its flying altitude, passed over the wall of Black Stone City, and flew higher. A hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

He realized this problem long before, when he found that the hot air balloon was floating towards Black Rock City. If the hot air balloon did not increase its altitude, it might hit the wall.

But he did not give any warning in advance because he wanted to see whether the two operators on the hot air balloon could make correct operations in time when faced with this emergency.

This operation is actually not difficult, and to some extent it is very simple, but 'those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly'. In critical moments, people sometimes lose their ability to think and make low-level mistakes, and this is not uncommon.

During this time, the two operators on the hot air balloon successfully increased the balloon's flight altitude. After it passed the wall of Black Rock City, they both breathed a sigh of relief, and then found that their entire backs were soaked with cold sweat.

Wiping the sweat from their foreheads, the two men looked at each other and laughed dryly.

“That was a close call.”

After calming down, they took a deep breath, stood up, and looked outside.

The two of them were so frightened at the sight of it that their hearts skipped a beat! "Damn it, we're flying too high! What should we do now?!"

Just now they were so nervous that they desperately threw fuel into the furnace and pulled the bellows to increase the firepower.

As the firepower increased, the hot air balloon continued to rise. Without paying attention, it flew to a height they had never reached before! The cold wind from the high altitude kept blowing on their faces, causing their cheeks to hurt.

But at this time, the two operators were in no mood to care about this.

At this moment, the hot air balloon has already flown over Black Rock City. Looking down from the air, the large buildings and streets have shrunk, and the people on the streets can hardly be seen clearly.

Fortunately, neither of them had any fear of heights, and after the initial shock, the relatively stable situation inside allowed them to calm down quickly.

"Don't panic! The king taught us before that if you increase the firepower of a hot air balloon, it will rise, and if you reduce the firepower, it will fall. As long as we slowly reduce the firepower, we can land smoothly."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll reduce the firepower right now!"

As he was speaking, the operator in charge of controlling the firepower started to get busy.

But he was stopped in time by another operator.

"No, no! We can't land now! No, we can't land! Below us is Black Rock City, there are streets and buildings everywhere, there is no suitable place to land."

At present, hot air balloons cannot accurately control the landing position, at least they can't do it now.

Therefore, if they want to land, they must find a large enough open space.

"Why don't we just fly directly outside the city and land there!"

"That's true, but have you noticed that we seem to be flying higher and higher?"

“…”

The fuel was thrown too quickly and the bellows were pulled too hard, so the furnace was burning very vigorously, causing the entire hot air balloon to be in an ascending state.

As they were talking, the buildings in Black Rock City in their field of vision became smaller and smaller, causing the two men's hearts to beat wildly when they realized this.

Before they could do anything, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky, and the hot air balloon they were riding shook and turned to fly in another direction.

"Damn it! The wind direction has changed!"

At this moment, both of them just felt numb.

"Adjust the flight altitude. We need to get the hot air balloon back to the previous air flow layer!"

"Wait, wait a minute! Actually, if we fly in this direction, we can also get out of the city! The key is that we have to maintain this altitude and not let the hot air balloon rise any higher!"

As they talked, the two of them quickly got busy.

Although the operating principle of the hot air balloon is simple, it was the first time for them to operate such a thing. The two were still in a panic, but they finally managed to control the hot air balloon's continued rising momentum and flew out of the city in a new direction.

The wind at high altitudes is much stronger, which also increases the flying speed of the hot air balloon. After watching the hot air balloon fly over the walls of Black Rock City and successfully fly out of the city, the two were excited.

"Hurry! Land quickly!"

Although the previous operations were hectic, they had successfully accumulated a certain amount of operating experience, and now they were obviously much more skilled in the operations.

But in terms of experience, there is obviously still a long way to go.

As the hot air balloon lowers its altitude, the wind direction changes as its altitude changes.

In the blink of an eye, the hot air balloon that had finally flown outside the city was now flying towards the city again.

They were all numb in an instant.

"Fuck! Go back up, go back up quickly!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The two people's operation made the hot air balloon go up and down, left and right in the air, tossing around constantly.

Fortunately, they learned from their mistakes and became smarter with the experience just now. They let the hot air balloon fly farther and then started to land.

In this way, even if the wind direction changes and blows the hot air balloon back for a while, it will not blow them directly back into the city.

When they landed, the two couldn't wait to put out the fire, ran out of the bamboo basket of the hot air balloon, their legs went soft, and they collapsed to the ground, feeling as if they had escaped death.

After waiting for a while, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, a group of people led by Zhou Xu rode over on horseback.

Originally they were all heading towards the other end of Black Rock City, thinking that they would fly to the other side and land, but who could have thought that they would suddenly change direction in the middle.

After getting off the horse, everyone gathered around to check on the two men and also asked about the situation at the time.

After being asked this question, the two people who had been frightened all the way suddenly opened up and started talking incessantly, as if they were venting the emotions that had been pent up in their hearts along the way.

After hearing this, although everyone had not experienced it personally, it was not difficult to see how thrilling it was from the frightened expressions on the two people's faces.

Although the operation of this hot air balloon does not seem complicated, the wind direction and climate in the air are unpredictable. If you lack experience, accidents may happen if you are not careful.

To some extent, the two of them were lucky to be able to land smoothly this time.

"Then do you still dare to continue to be the operator of this hot air balloon?"

Zhou Xu looked at the two of them and asked.

Faced with this question, the two looked at each other, and at the same time, their eyes could not help but fall on the hot air balloon not far away. During this period, no one knew what kind of mental struggle they went through, and finally nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu smiled slightly.

This result was within his expectations, because just now the two guys talked about how thrilling it was, but later on, they started to show off.

You know, this is a great feat in the history of their Great Zhou. No matter who it happens to be, it will be enough for them to brag about it for the rest of their lives.

Not to mention, the salary of the hot air balloon operator is twice what they had before, plus the bonus of the tester, it is enough to triple their total income! 　Update sent, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be more updates after 10:30 today 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
