Chapter 32 Tang Mubai's plane crashed
Only deep within Fulong Mountain, it seems as if illusory lotus flowers are blooming in the mist, and the phantom of a temple shrouded in rising golden clouds appears and disappears, radiating strands of wisdom that pierce through the gray mist.
Golden light rose, like a sharp sword breaking the dawn, and the eerie aura that permeated the air seemed to be instantly dispelled.
The gray fog quickly dissipated like a tide, and before Li Jiu could react, the sky and earth were clear, and the terrifying swarm of snakes had vanished.
The extremely slow flow of time gradually returned to normal, and the "putt-putt-putt" sound of the helicopter amplified in his ears again.
His heart suddenly tightened, as if he had a premonition, and he subconsciously blurted out a single word:
"Oh no!"
As if to confirm his premonition, the helicopter, which had been ascending steadily, suddenly began to shake as if under a spell.
The helicopter's fuselage began to shake violently and erratically. Every part was trembling, and the outer shell of the fuselage was shaking like the bark of an old tree, as if it had been caught in a tornado and was about to be violently torn apart at any moment!
After several jolts, the helicopter completely lost control and began to plummet rapidly like a shot-down iron bird.
Fortunately, the pilot was experienced and quickly adjusted the direction when the aircraft became unstable. When the accident actually happened, the helicopter crashed into Bailongtan in the Starry Sky Camp.
"Holy crap...?!"
"not good!!"
"Tang Mubai!! Tang Mubai!!!"
Li Jiu's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints. He screamed and dropped his backpack, then, like an arrow released from a bow, he used all his strength to sprint desperately toward the location where the helicopter had crashed!
The helicopter did not experience any engine fire or loss of kinetic energy, but it was as if it had been caught in an invisible hurricane, spinning and crashing into the White Dragon Pool!
"Boom—!!! Crash—!!!"
The helicopter kicked up a huge splash of water before being swallowed by the pool and sinking rapidly.
Soon, only a small whirlpool remained in the White Dragon Pool.
Li Jiu dashed away and soon entered the territory of Bailongtan.
Two eye-catching notice boards stand beside Bailongtan. One is covered with "Bailongtan Visitor Information", while the other clearly marks the directions to "Designated Boating Points at Bailongtan" and "Fulongshan Mountain Cable Car Station".
As Li Jiu ran, his eyes swept across the notice board hastily yet precisely. After confirming that the version of the notice for Bailongtan was no different from the pictures he had seen online, he sped up and rushed over.
As he approached White Dragon Pool, he mentally reviewed every word of the rules and regulations, checking each item to avoid breaking them while rescuing Tang Mubai and potentially finding himself in a desperate situation.
Bailongtan Visitor Information
Bailongtan (White Dragon Pool) is formed by the cascading waterfall of Bailong Lake. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and with a waterfall on one, the pool's depth is unfathomable. To ensure a better and safer experience of enjoying the waterfall, please observe the following:
1. In case of severe weather such as storms, heavy rain, or dense fog, it is forbidden to approach Bailongtan unless accompanied by景区 staff.
2. Your activity area is limited to the wooden viewing platform in front of Bailongtan and the stone path along the shore (see the signs on the map). Areas near the mountain are not within the safety zone of the scenic area and the soil is slippery. Climbing rocks or entering the dense forest behind the mountain is strictly prohibited.
Our staff will patrol the surrounding forest area outside the scenic area from time to time. If you see indistinct figures in the forest outside the riverside area, do not panic. Please make sure they are staff members.
When you spot staff members, never approach them or respond to their waving or calls!
Never go near them!!!
Immediately return to the observation deck and press the nearest red emergency button!
3. The water quality of Bailongtan is very good, but in principle, tourists are not allowed to drink it. If you accidentally drink the water, please report it to Bailongtan staff if you experience dizziness, abnormal fever, auditory hallucinations, or visual hallucinations:
If you drink the water from the pool without permission and then hear chanting sounds far from Jiding Temple, and there are no loudspeakers nearby, please call the front desk of Mushroom House immediately and wait for the mountain patrol and rescue team to arrive.
Do not move under these circumstances, even if you feel you can go to the Mushroom House on your own.
Do not leave the area with anyone other than the patrol and rescue team members.
4. Do not use your own containers to collect water from the pool out of curiosity. If you secretly collect water from the pool, please empty it clean at the designated recycling pool (there is a recycling pool in any restroom in the scenic area) before leaving the Fulong Mountain Scenic Area.
When the container starts to steam, do not consider any factors, immediately place the container where it is, and leave quickly.
Do not open any smoking water containers!!!
5. Boating is permitted at Bailongtan. If you wish to go boating, please go to the designated area, rent the necessary equipment, and abide by the relevant rules.
Do not wear personal protective gear when entering the Bailongtan waters.
6. Swimming in Bailongtan is prohibited without permission.
7. Fishing is prohibited in Bailongtan.
8. If you need to take the mountain cable car, please follow the signs to the mountain cable car station on the west side of Bailongtan. Please follow the signs and abide by the "Fulongshan Cable Car Riding Rules".
9. Whenever mist appears on the surface of the pool, please move away from Bailongtan immediately.
10. If you violate any of the above rules, please contact Bailongtan staff immediately and follow their instructions.
If you experience physical or mental discomfort despite following all the above rules, please immediately stop all your current activities, leave the Bailongtan area as soon as possible, and head to the Mushroom House.
The entire staff of Fulong Mountain Scenic Area wishes you a pleasant visit!
It was already past eight in the morning, but for a scenic spot, it was still early. There were only a few scattered tourists by Bailongtan, and the vast majority of people were still in the mushroom houses.
Only two staff members at the Fulong Mountain Scenic Area on duty were drawn to the crashed helicopter and rushed over before Li Jiu even reached the shore.
The crash site was not in the area where boating was permitted, and it was quite a distance from the shore. Li Jiu could only grab a lifebuoy and rush to the closest point to the crash site, desperately calling out Tang Mubai's name.
However, as the lake gradually calmed down, Li Jiu still did not see Tang Mubai's figure emerge from the water.
A strong and uneasy feeling gradually crept into his heart.
