Chapter 216 Rescue From Heaven
In the light balloon basket, Mr. Benny saw that Ah Zhi was in a critical situation, so he quickly turned the steering wheel, adjusted the angle of the sail, and drove the light balloon towards the river bank.
"Joan, throw the cable down quickly! When Ah Zhi lands on the shore, pull him up!"
Joan obeyed Teacher Benny's instructions, picked up a bundle of cables from the hanging basket, looked at Azhi who was paddling desperately in the rapids, and visually measured the distance and relative speed between him and the staghorn giant worm behind him. It is calculated that it is impossible for Ah Zhi to escape to the other side.
Before Ah Zhi's fingertips touch the embankment, he will be swallowed by the chasing antler giant worm!
Joan shook his head, put down the cable, took out the bottle of "Feather Fall Potion" that Teacher Benny had given him earlier, uncorked the bottle and drank it in one gulp.
"Joan, why haven't you lowered the cable?" Teacher Benny yelled anxiously.
Qiao An didn't want to waste time explaining that it was too late to rescue Ah Zhi with only a sling rope, so he calmed down and felt the changes in himself.
When he realized that his body became extremely light, as if he was about to float up with the wind, he confirmed that the "Feather Falling Technique" had taken effect, held the edge of the hanging basket with both hands, and rolled it out silently.
In the exclamation of Teacher Benny, Joan jumped from a height of a hundred feet to the wide river surface with sparkling lights below.
In the air, Joan tried his best to stretch his arms and legs to gain more buoyancy.
However, he soon discovered that it was not necessary.
The "Feather Fall Technique" twisted the lines of the magic net around him into an invisible parachute, protecting him from slowly descending.
You can even slightly adjust your body posture and gliding direction.
This discovery freed Joan from the fear that accompanies falling from a high altitude.
Take a deep breath, and race against time to adjust the gliding angle to ensure that you are directly above the antler giant worm.
At this time, Qiao An was only less than twenty yards from the water surface, and under the effect of the "Feather Falling Technique", it would take at least six seconds to land on the river.
The antler giant worm didn't notice that someone was slowly descending from above, and its eyes were still fixed on the white rat man, and it slid its claws to chase after it.
At this speed, before Joan landed, Ah Zhi would be caught and swallowed by it.
Knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, Joan quickly took out the "Branch of Irminsur" to stimulate the magic power contained in the emerald green branches, and his body suddenly swelled, transforming into a huge treant in an instant.
The moment the transformation was completed, Qiao An decisively canceled the "Feather Falling Technique"!
The treant's heavy body lost its magical support, and fell quickly, before the antler giant worm caught up with Ah Zhi, and smashed it heavily on its back.
Boom!
The huge feet made of countless twisted roots stepped on the back of the antler giant worm, and the sudden heavy pressure forced the giant worm to hiss and scream, like a ship on a rock, and quickly sank underwater.
The staghorn giant struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the heavy giant on its back.
Without giving it a chance to escape, Joan stretched out a pair of rough and powerful hands, tightly grabbed the monster's neck, and pressed its head firmly under the water.
The antler giant worm struggled to twist its legs and feet, trying to get rid of the tree man's control.
However, after Qiao An transformed into a treant, his strength was greater than the giant worm.
The wide soles of the feet sank into the mud at the bottom of the river, and countless roots stretched out from the soles of the feet, tightly entangled with the huge reefs scattered in the river, like two giant anchors firmly fixing the treant in place.
Despite the impact of the torrent and the giant worm struggling, Joan remained motionless and continued to press the head of the antler giant worm below the water surface.
The fight between the tree man and the giant insect immediately attracted people's attention.
Ah Zhi, who had finally climbed up the river bank, turned his head to witness this spectacular scene, his eyes became dull and dull.
On the other side of the river, Major Vasa, Xiao Miao, the servants of the Vasa family, and Mr. Benny in the mid-air basket were also stunned by this scene.
It seems that everyone has turned into ants, watching the two giant beasts fight to the death. While deeply shocked, they also feel their own insignificance and fragility.
Joan once read a book on "Insect Anatomy".
According to the book, the respiratory system of insects is very different from that of humans. They do not breathe through their noses. Their respiratory organs are "stoma" located in the abdomen.
If the giant stag beetle had the same physiology as a normal insect, strangling it by the neck would not suffocate it.
However, no matter where its "nose" grows, as long as it still needs to breathe, it will inevitably fall into suffocation when submerged underwater, and long-term suffocation will inevitably lead to coma or even death.
Sure enough, after just one minute, the antler giant worm stopped struggling.
Unable to determine whether it was suffocated to death or just in a coma, Joan buried the giant worm in the soft mud at the bottom of the river bed. Move two rocks on the giant worm's back to ensure that it cannot float, and it will be completely drowned in a short time.
After solving the staghorn giant worm, Joan retracted the roots fixed on the bottom of the river, strode up to the river bank, and returned to its original form.
At this time, there was an unusually piercing buzzing sound above his head, which aroused his vigilance.
At the same time that Qiao An raised his head, Ah Zhi and Xiao Miao also heard strange movements.
The two looked up at the sky, and their expressions suddenly changed in fright. They waved their hands and shouted hastily, reminding Mr. Benny to be careful.
Teacher Benny, who was sitting in the light balloon basket, also heard the roar behind him, as if a magical airship was rushing towards him, and saw Xiaomiao and Azhi yelling at him anxiously. He yelled, and immediately realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly looked back, so frightened that he almost fell out of the hanging basket.
A wasp as huge as a flying dragon emerged from behind the cloud. Its translucent wings vibrated at high speed, making a scalp-numbing buzzing sound. It was circling around the airbag above the hanging basket.
"Ms. Benny, jump down!" Xiao Miao jumped anxiously.
Teacher Benny hastily pulled out the stopper of the medicine bottle and poured the "Feather Fall" medicine down his throat.
However, he didn't jump out of the hanging basket immediately, hesitated for a moment, turned around and grabbed the red cable and pulled it hard.
The cable tore off the sealing plug of the light balloon, and the air flow screamed out through the valve, and the light balloon then slowly fell.
When the people on the ground saw this scene, they all guessed that Mr. Benny was reluctant to abandon the aircraft he made by himself, and hoped that the light balloon would be safe from the attack of the giant hornet and land safely.
The giant bee was startled by the sharp sound of the exhaust valve, and quickly flapped its wings to hide behind the clouds.
After observing in secret for a few seconds, it seemed that the big balloon had no other ability other than its scary sound, and rushed out of the cloud again, approaching the airbag with hostility.
Teacher Benny hastily threw off the rope, trying to catch the giant bee alive with the noose.
It's a pity that the wind in the air was strong, and the noose was blown away from the target, rubbing the wings of the giant bee and falling into the air.
The huge compound eyes of the giant bee flashed with anger, flapped its wings and rushed over, pierced the balloon with a thick and sharp tail needle like a spear, and picked it up, creating a huge gap.
The light air in the sac found an outlet for venting, and it was ejected frantically. The strong air flow caused the giant bee to roll in the air, and the balloon basket lost control and fell extremely fast!
