Chapter 239 Leap(1/2)
[Outstanding Jinjiang Literature City] (including 185w nutrient solution plus update)
The thing was red, and it looked very obvious in the golden sand layer. Its body looked like an earthworm - of course, it was an earthworm that had been enlarged countless times, slowly hovering and revealing from the sand layer, which looked very much like a wriggling giant insect.
Its body is twice as wide as a jeep, and it is now blocking its rocks and rocky mountains that slowly poked its head out from under the sand.
Its head is a bit sloppy, almost no difference from its body, it is just a little sharper and thinner, and there is no visible eyes, ears, mouth and nose. There is only a cluster of whisker-like objects at the top. As soon as it is exposed, it extends towards their direction. There is also a thunderous current flashing above it.
Current!?
It was really electric current, and you could even see faint blue light.
Fortunately, when You Xi and Lin Wu saw its size, they climbed upwards again along the rock wall with climbing tools. �
Most of the giant worms lay on the rock below, and used the beard-like object on one end of their body to press against the wall of the rock mountain to continuously emit electric current. However, the rock cannot conduct electricity, and it cannot reach the two people above.
It was not until the other end of the giant worm was exposed from the sand that You Xi discovered that the whisker-like object that he thought was on his head should be its tail.
The other end is the head, but it looks sloppy, without eyes, nose and face, with thick and huge top, with a huge crack that can be opened like a man-eating flower, with dense teeth inside, and several very long tentacles growing around this giant mouth.
The movements and stillness of the sand just now should be caused by these tentacles.
The huge crack seemed to sense two people in the gap above the rock wall. It leaned against the rock, raised its head high and sprayed some liquid in the direction where they were.
Liquid flew out, some fell on the rock wall, and some splashed into the cracks where they were.
Fortunately, Lin Wu was very alert, and the defensive shield of his carry-on weapon was always on, protecting him and You Xi tightly.
The liquid was blocked by the protective light shield, and Lin Wu frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" You Xi asked.
"This liquid is toxic." The weapon's defense value has dropped a lot, indicating that it is highly toxic. If the human body is stained with this venom, it may die immediately.
The giant worm had a huge body with a huge body without bones. It could not climb up the rock wall, so it hung half of its body on the rock below, while the other half was hidden in the sand layer, lying there motionless as if it was resting.
But Youxi and Lin Wu knew that it was waiting, waiting for them to relax their vigilance or be tired or hungry, and could not continue to stay in the cracks of the rock wall. That was when it gained prey.
The situation was urgent just now. In order to escape, they could not plan the best escape route, but just followed their survival instinct to save their lives. At this moment, the situation eased, and the two of them had time to check the surrounding situation.
This is a rock mountain in the shape of an arch, which is different from the continuous red rock mountain near the Gobi Desert before. The rock mountain here is earthy yellow and has been weathered even more severely. Most of them are isolated, with strange shapes and different heights. They are scattered around, and there is a distance between the rock mountain, so there is no way to move directly from the rock mountain where they are located to another rock mountain.
The mountains of rocks do not grow in no grass, and most of them are steep and straight. Fortunately, they have been weathered with many large and small rock cracks that can be leveraged. Otherwise, no matter how powerful she and Lin Wu are, they will not be able to climb up.
When Youxi looked over the rock mountain, Lin Wu lowered his head and observed the red giant insect below. Its huge body had lines that could stretch like earthworms, because it was enlarged countless times, which looked particularly disgusting.
"What is this?" If You Xi hadn't had the early warning just now, even with his protective shield, their cars would be thrown away from the ground by it.
With the huge strength of this thing, the strong toxicity and the release of current, it is only a matter of time to break through the protective shield outside the car.
"In my native world, ancient books have recorded that in the most desolate Gobi desert, there is a creature called the Mongolian death worm. It is about one meter long and looks like a cow's intestine. It has a very poisonous condition and will release electric currents.
However, so far, no data has been confirmed to the existence of this creature. It has been passed down by word of mouth. Many people have said that they have encountered it in the desert... The following one is very similar to the one recorded in ancient books, but the volume has been magnified countless times and the attack power is also extremely amazing."
After checking the above, You Xi began to check the situation below like Lin Wu.
They are currently in the middle and lower section of the left rock wall of this arch-shaped rock mountain. The sand layer around the root of the rock mountain is full of the activity range of this giant worm. They cannot go down from their original location. Even if the worm leaves the rock and completely retracts below the sand layer, they cannot tell whether it is still waiting for them around.
They can't run fast in the desert, but the desert is its world. When they come into close contact, even if Lin Wu has a shield, the size of this thing can swallow them directly.
The sight in the cracks of the rock was limited, and You Xi looked at the top of the rock mountain again: "Let's climb to the top first."
The two of them wore more professional rock climbing tools, knocked nails all the way, and climbed to the top of the rock mountain at a constant speed while ensuring their safety.
Midway through, the huge worm hit Rock Mountain several times and sprayed venom twice. Fortunately, they were equipped with enough equipment, and with Lin Wu's shield, they finally reached the highest point without any danger.
It is about 250 to 300 meters high here, and the top is still flat, but the rock mountains stand alone, and it has nothing to do with other rock peaks and rock mountains.
You Xi took out the telescope to check. The black shadow in the north was clearly visible at this moment. It was indeed like the wall of a certain building, which was extremely tall. From the height, it should still be above the rock mountain where they were, so they couldn't see what was behind the building.
From the rock peak where they were, to the other side, there was an endless golden desert sea. When we arrived at the back, there were very few rock mountains like this.
In the sea of sand, one or two raised sand lines could be vaguely seen, just like the sand lines chasing their car just now. It was obvious that this huge worm under this sea of sand was not the only one.
She checked the left and right again - that is, the west and east directions. There was also an endless sea of sand on the east side, but to the west, the desert layer was not particularly large. A few kilometers away, you could see some low rock mountains and Gobi on the ground. Some rock pillars were strangely grown, not seemingly like natural weathering products.
She put down her telescope and thought that it would be great if there were low-altitude hover cars at this time. They could get on the bus here directly, fly over the sea of crises below, and go to the safer Gobi Desert.
Just as You Xi was considering combining Lin Wu's shield with her [High Temperature Perfume] and facing the giant worm, she had a chance to win, her thoughts suddenly stopped - wait, leap?
She stood up and felt the hot wind blowing on her body.
At this time, the sun gradually turned west, and the wind direction here was the same as the wind direction in the red rock mountain area the night before, blowing from southeast to northwest. If the wind power was enough, maybe they could really "fly" the sea of sand below.
Lin Wu's expression showed signs of cracking after hearing the three words "gliding suit".
Although he had experience in military service and had strengthened his physical fitness in all aspects after entering the system tower world, after escaping just now, he climbed up a hundreds of meters of rock top that was almost at a right angle of 90 degrees. No matter how strong his physical fitness is, he can't stand this cost.
When You Xi checked around, he was sitting there while packing up rock climbing tools while relaxing his spirits. As a result, before he could recover, he heard You Xi's suggestions.
He took out a bottle of mineral water and drank half of the bottle in one breath. The remaining half was poured on his head to relieve his hot mind due to high temperatures and rock climbing.
He had experience in parachuting, but he had never worn a glider suit, but he knew the general principle.
Gliding suits are also called wing suits flying, which is equivalent to paragliding. However, the human body itself is part of the wings of the paragliding. If the left and right arms are unfolded, asymmetry will cause the person to flip in the air. The main thing is to rely on the pitch operation of the legs to control the steering.
There is an umbrella bag on the back of the clothes, so you need to master the timing of opening when landing.
If there is a slight deviation in the above points, it will lead to fall and die.
At their current altitude, they are low-altitude wing suits flying, which is far more dangerous than high-altitude wing suits flying.
He and You Xi are both missionists, and their physical fitness is different from ordinary people. If they are not operated properly, they will not die. Especially he has a protective shield, which reduces the impact force after opening it and minimizes the damage.
Of course, the terrain here also has a convenience bonus. Without any buildings or vegetation, it means that there will be no obstacles and the skills are required.
The wing suits fly extremely fast, and as long as the wind is enough, they can indeed pass through the sea of sand below safely.
The only problem is that neither he nor You Xi have any experience in using gliding suits. With their motor nerves, if they can give them a chance to simulate and learn, even if they only have one, they will not be so passive.
But now they are trapped here, and there are only two choices. Climb down again and fight with the huge worm in the sand layer. But obviously there is more than this worm in the surrounding sand layer.
Another option is to take a risk.
After weighing the trade-offs, Lin Wu finally had to admit that the latter had much smaller risks than the former.
"The height here is not enough. If you want to successfully glide, you need greater wind. Let's wait a little longer." You Xi took out a metal pole, inserted it into the crack of the rock top, and then tied a long and thin tissue on it to confirm the wind.
Afterwards, she found a flatter ground next to her and set up a camping chair and a table: "The sun is about to set, so have supper first."
As she finished speaking, there was an extra meal on the table: foie gras sushi, salmon Arctic shell sashimi, fresh shrimp avocado rolls, spicy clams, king crab caesar salad, and roasted eel rice and desserts: almond tofu.
Lin Wu, who is still lingering and weighing the boundaries between life and death:...
If you ignore the huge worms lurking in the desert below, their location and the scenery in front of you are indeed a magnificent and magnificent picture.
The sky above the head is blue and vast, and the western sky is dyed with beautiful orange-red. Looking down from the rock top hundreds of meters high, the sea of sand is stacked layer by layer, the sky is high and the earth is vast, and there is no trace of human architecture, as if it has been far away from the civilized world and is in a different space and time.
Thinking of this, You Xi smiled. For those who are the missionists, this is indeed a different time and space.
The temperature around has dropped a little, the heat during the day faded, the cold at night has not yet arrived, and the temperature at dusk is the most refreshing and comfortable.
She held the stainless steel cup in her hand and sat on the camping chair, slowly drinking the brewed Longjing tea while looking at the scenery.
Lin Wu had been checking the wind direction and the movements of the sand below from time to time, but later she was gradually influenced by her determination and calmness, and her chaotic mood gradually calmed down.
An hour later, the sun sank to the horizon and the entire desert dimmed.
Above the rock top, the tissue tied to the metal pole almost turned into a straight line in the wind.
You Xi packed up the table and chairs, took out a night vision goggles and handed them to him: "You should have improved your vision, how good is your night vision ability? Do you need this?"
Lin Wu shook her head: "No, you can see it."
You Xi nodded, put away her night vision goggles, and took out her gliding suit. She bought several sets of these clothes, including winter and summer. According to the temperature at this moment, she should wear winter equipment, including safety helmets and eye masks.
When she was buying clothes, she heard the clerk explain how to wear and how to use parachutes. After that, she also watched several gliding tutorial courses online, but she still didn't expect that she would use this set of equipment so quickly.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger at night, and the two men wearing equipment determined the direction again and stood at the edge of the rock top.
There is a cliff close to about 300 meters below your feet. Based on the one-story 27 meters, this height is almost equal to the height of a hundred-story building.
This height plus the wind power at this moment, as long as there is no operational error in the direction, it is enough for them to fly over this sandy area.
Their plan is that Lin Wu will go first, and You Xi will lag behind for two seconds. These two seconds are to allow her to adjust her direction and chase him behind and ensure that she lands in the same place as him to the greatest extent.
Even if the parachute bag was not opened in time, it would be fine. As long as he opened the protective shield at the right time, he could force some of the impact force for her.
"Although there are not many rocks along the way, you should be careful and don't hit him head-on." After she finished her instructions, she nodded to the other party.
Lin Wu took a deep breath, opened her arms and feet, and fell down toward the rock peak in the posture of a bird flying.
Two seconds later, You Xi followed closely behind.
After only two seconds of free fall, You Xi felt a gust of wind lifting her up. The gravity and wind force made her slide forward at a speed that surpassed the high-speed train.
The sound of the wind roared in her ears, like a bird passing through the air, no, far faster than the bird, like a missile being shot out of the cannon chamber, passing through the desert under the night sky, and passing through the sea of sand full of crisis on the ground.
She passed by the tall rocks and flew over the scattered rocks. She saw sand lines rising from the sand layer below, and huge red worms poked out their sloppy heads from the desert, but could not touch her in the air.
She controlled every inch of her muscles and chased Lin Wu in front of her, preventing herself from deviating from being able to move her position any more.
Everything at this moment is really like a dream, and just relying on a set of clothes, the dream of human beings flying is realized.
At the same time, on a rock several kilometers away from the northwest, the night watchman held a night vision telescope and looked at the mid-air in the southeast direction, subconsciously shouted: "Damn! Am I dazzled! Someone... Someone flew over from the sea of death sand!"
