Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 266 - 229: The Fallen Genius
He went in!
At that instant, everyone's heart was in their throat.
Even the comments in the live stream room went silent.
Because Wang Ye suddenly plunged into the dark sinkhole, the live stream screen also fell into darkness.
At this moment, no one knew whether Wang Ye was alive or dead.
The group, including Ah Gui and others from Red Bull, who were watching Wang Ye's movements from a distance, saw Wang Ye swoosh into the sinkhole. They also looked shocked and quickly headed to Swallow Cave to try to get a closer look at the situation inside. However, the cave was too dark, making it impossible to see anything clearly inside.
"Damn it, who brought a flashlight?"
"It's useless, flashlights won't illuminate it clearly!"
"We can only wait here. If Wang Ye succeeds in the challenge, he'll climb back up in two hours."
"Can he still fail after jumping in?"
"Of course! Even after jumping in, there's a high chance of failure!"
In the "Awakening Earth" challenge, even if the challenger painstakingly lands precisely in Swallow Cave from the sky, there is a high probability of hitting the rugged rocks around during the rapid descent. This is because Swallow Cave, being a vertical cave, has a very treacherous and ever-changing internal environment. Moreover, because light cannot completely penetrate the cave, most areas are shrouded in darkness, making it difficult to discern direction and position. Plus, it's currently the rainy season, with waterfalls and streams everywhere, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
Even if they fortunately manage to open the parachute in the cave, they must not relax because the challenger still needs to find a sufficiently large flat landing spot in the air to stabilize and decrease speed. Otherwise, they could easily smash into sharp rocks and injure themselves severely.
At this moment, the Douyin live stream image was pitch black, making people somewhat uneasy.
Thankfully, it seemed that Wang Ye's helmet had an environment-sensing function,
which automatically turned on lights upon entering the dark environment,
a professional-level adventure headlamp with over two thousand lumens instantly illuminated the surroundings.
Pop!
In the live stream footage, Wang Ye appeared to still be rapidly descending in the sinkhole.
Still alive!
The audience had been holding their breath, but now they finally let it go.
Just as Wang Ye was rapidly descending, he suddenly pulled the parachute from his pack.
A thundering sound was heard as the parachute instantly inflated in the air,
The parachute cords were stretched straight by air resistance, dragging Wang Ye's body, slowing his descent.
His body swayed like a pendulum due to the sudden air resistance from above,
but because his timing, position, angle, and height were all controlled with near-perfection,
no matter how his body swayed, it was difficult to crash into the surrounding rock walls.
At this moment, Wang Ye was right at the center of the sinkhole, at a depth of about 100 meters, perfectly timed! Everything was just so perfectly fitting, giving an indescribable sense of safety and assurance. If put in shooting terms, it's like hitting a bullseye with one shot. In basketball terms, it's like a three-pointer swish!
Ah Gui and others in the cabin, who had been staring at the big screen, immediately became ecstatic.
"Textbook timing control! Truly Wang Ye!"
The audience in the live stream room also exploded with excitement.
[Awesome!!]
[Totally awesome!]
[Invincible, bro! This one's in the bag!]
[It's my first time feeling the adrenaline of extreme sports, it's making my blood boil, I haven't been this excited in a long time!]
[Indeed, I originally had no feeling about extreme sports, but after watching Qi Refining Brother's live streams, suddenly I've felt the charm of extreme sports!]
[Unfortunately, my cultural level is low, all I can say is awesome!]
[Celebrating Qi Refining Brother's completion of Awakening Earth in advance!]
[I recorded the whole thing, gonna edit a video for Qi Refining Brother, what BGM should I use?]
[Hey, I got an idea, use "for ya"!]
[You rascal.]
··························
··························
In just ten seconds, Wang Ye relied on his parachute to slowly descend to the bottom of Swallow Cave.
Splosh!
Wang Ye stepped into the pooled water,
Because of months of rain, Swallow Cave had long been flooded.
He chose a slightly shallower landing spot.
Nonetheless, the water level still reached above his knees.
Wang Ye stabilized his body with his robust muscles, then swiftly stuffed the scattered parachute into his pack,
The two thousand lumens strong light from his helmet barely illuminated a fan-shaped area in front of him. The cave was filled with rugged and peculiar stalactites, stalagmites, stalagmites, formations of all kinds, stunningly beautiful. Countless swallows' nests and piles of bird droppings as high as mountains, plus bizarre crawling creatures and clusters of bats hanging on the rock walls, muddy water on the ground appearing like a swamp, all were transmitted by the camera on his helmet to the live stream room.
Seeing this uncanny scenery,
the netizens in the live stream started asking in bullets——
[Is this the bottom of Swallow Cave?]
[Wow, so that's what the bottom of a sinkhole looks like!]
[Damn, are those densely hanging things on the rock wall bats?]
[So many bats, it's making my scalp tingle...]
[Wait, since he's at the bottom, does this mean Qi Refining Brother succeeded?]
[He really did succeed...]
Very soon.
Everyone in the live stream room realized Wang Ye had successfully completed the Awakening Earth challenge!
