Every day is one step closer to reality

Chapter 66 Accepting a disciple?

Seeing that Feng Yi had a good attitude towards admitting his mistake, Steve no longer held on to the matter.

Professor Zhou said a few more words.

"Wild mountain forests require more than just strength."

Worried that Feng Yi would be strangled by the python, Professor Zhou said seriously: "I stress again, if you feel any discomfort, you must speak up. Safety is the most important thing!"

Feng Yi nodded and responded: "Yes! Don't worry, I know."

Feng Yi took back his breath while speaking.

Just now, in order to get this big python to cooperate, he released his hidden aura. As evolution progresses this control becomes more adept.

As the old housekeeper said, snakes, whether they are small snakes or big pythons, are pets or food to them.

As evolution continues and various parts of the body continue to mutate, this suppressive aura that belongs to the upper levels of the food chain becomes more and more obvious and undergoes qualitative changes.

If the fishing ground at Yueshan Farmhouse had exuded such an aura, the little green dragon would never have approached Feng Yi, and might have avoided it from a distance.

When Feng Yi took back his breath, the Burmese python perked up visibly, and its struggle became stronger.

Originally worried that its condition was not very good, Professor Zhou has contacted the base to check it. The results showed that the snake is very strong and healthy. Although it has some parasitic diseases, in general, it should be in very good condition. It’s time to be so wilted.

Now that I see how powerful it is, I feel relieved after the second check.

"It has no drug reaction, and there is no suppuration in its mouth. Although I don't know why it was listless and weak just now, its current condition is quite good. For the rest, we have to wait for the sampling and test results to come out."

After the abnormal climate period, in order to protect endangered wild animals and establish the latest species gene library of endangered animals, non-harmful sampling will generally be used when encountering targets. If the target is a snake, snake sloughs, feces, etc. will also be selected. Multiple analyses.

When Feng Yi caught the python just now, it showed excretion behavior, so these excretions also had to be sampled.

Feng Yi sat quietly next to him, watching Professor Zhou and the others examine the python's mouth, body surface, and cloaca...

It seems quite stressful.

After wiping the sweat that had appeared on his forehead, Feng Yi simply turned around and stopped looking over there. He took out a piece of compressed biscuit from his bag and nibbled it bit by bit as if grinding his teeth.

Seeing that Professor Zhou was almost busy, Cheng Si stepped forward and asked, "Professor Zhou, do you think I can do another live broadcast now? I finally encountered such a big python in the wild."

Professor Zhou thought for a moment, then asked Steve about the current status of the snake, and nodded: "Yes, but the live broadcast should not be too long. We will release the snake back into the forest later."

"It's time for everyone to see the scene of the scientific expedition team returning the python intact to the forest during the live broadcast. This is also a positive guide."

After obtaining permission, Cheng Si made simple arrangements and started the live broadcast.

Indeed, as he thought, catching such a large Burmese python in the wild was attractive and topical enough, and the number of people online soared in a short period of time.

The big python in the lens is also shocking. It is completely different from the experience of going to the zoo.

So as soon as the live broadcast started, comments started flying.

Cheng Si watched the comments and interacted with fans.

"I look more vicissitudes of life? Hey, scientific research is very difficult. It is common to be exposed to rain, and it is also common to take samples under the bright sun. It is also common to climb rocks and walls, and there are all kinds of poisonous insects...

"...Isn't this python big? Not as big as the one in the zoo? Hey, it can't be compared like that!"

Cheng Si explained what Steve told them. It is quite rare to encounter such a body shape in the wild!

Later, the online audience asked some more questions, and Cheng Si couldn't answer some of them, so he turned the camera to Steve, and Steve continued the interaction.

"What should you do if you encounter a python in the wild? If you are in China, the pythons you encounter in the wild are basically Burmese pythons...

“A case-by-case analysis depends on how big it is and whether it’s hungry or not.

"For example, the one I'm catching now is over 5 meters long. If it were in the wild, it might indeed be aggressive towards people..."

Steve began to explain how to deal with different situations.

As for what he just said, this long Burmese python may attack people, and Professor Zhou and others also understand it.

Therefore, when Feng Yi put the pot on the python's head and said that the big python was aggressive towards him, everyone had no doubts.

After Steve finished speaking, he saw another question on the screen and smiled.

"What do you do when it swallows? Yes, they swallow very slowly, but as an audience member, I think you are a bit naive, and I have to tell you a cruel fact. In most cases, they can be big enough to actively attack humans. A python will not make stupid mistakes. When it starts to swallow, the entangled prey is already hopeless, so that it can swallow it safely and slowly.

"One bite, two wraps, three swallows. First bite the prey to give the body a support point, and then the second step is death wrap. I don't need to say more about the python's 'death wrap' skill. You all know it, and the next step of the death wrap is The first step is to swallow. Only when the prey is no longer threatened will it start swallowing with confidence. Therefore, if you want to survive, your chance of survival is only in the first two steps."

After thinking about it, Steve added: "Of course they are too greedy, and there are also cases where they can't wait to swallow their prey, or they continue to swallow even though they have eaten a lot, and finally burst their stomachs and strangled themselves to death. These are all. But this can only be regarded as a common death. , not counting the escape from the python’s mouth.”

Cheng Si answered: "Snakes make me feel greedy, especially big snakes like pythons! Isn't it the Burmese python that swallowed a crocodile and had its stomach burst by the crocodile?"

Steve nodded: "I've seen reports on this before."

Cheng Si: "So, some snakes are stupid and greedy, and they only think about muscles!"

Feng Yi was nibbling biscuits not far away: "..."

Although it has nothing to do with me, it still sounds awkward.

Steve didn't like hearing what Cheng Si said: "That's just a small part. Many snakes are smart."

Then Steve started to talk about "A few things about me and smart snakes".

However, he didn't have much time to talk. Professor Zhou set a length for the live broadcast.

So Steve briefly said a few words, and after he was satisfied, he handed over the live broadcast to Cheng Si.

Cheng Si continued to interact with the online audience.

"Isn't it scary? Yes, I was scared when I first saw it..."

I saw someone asking the person who caught the snake.

Cheng Si said: "It's definitely not me who caught him. The master in the team caught him, and it wasn't Steve either. It was another very awesome person in the team!"

Cheng Si looked at Feng Yi.

Feng Yi waved his hand.

Cheng Si knew that Feng Yi didn't want to appear in the live broadcast.

"The master is still busy and doesn't have time to come over for a live broadcast..."

Cheng Si continued chatting with the online audience.

Feng Yi didn't want to sit here anymore. It happened that Professor Zhou and the others were going to take samples from the place where Feng Yi caught snakes to see if they could find other traces of life. Feng Yi stood up and led them the way.

When Feng Yi left, Cheng Si happened to adjust the camera to Steve.

The snake opened its mouth just now, and Steve said he wanted to tell everyone about the teeth of the Burmese python.

From this angle, Feng Yi appeared in the live broadcast for a short while, just a silhouette.

Cheng Si didn't pay attention at first, but when he stared at the comments, he found that someone said -

[Although it’s just a back view and he’s wearing a different hat, the man just now made me feel a bit like Brother Snake! Didn't some people guess before that Team South 6 invited Brother Snake over? He looks a bit like that guy! Height is about the same! 】

Seeing this comment, Cheng Si's heart skipped a beat, and a certain picture flashed through his mind.

However, during the live broadcast, it was inconvenient to be distracted, so Cheng Si temporarily suppressed his thoughts.

After Steve finished talking about his teeth, Cheng Si continued talking.

This time he found that there were a few more people mentioning "Brother Snake". Maybe these people saw the previous comment, or maybe they made a guess from the short scene. Some people left a message directly, asking if the person who caught the Burmese python was the 'Yueshan Snake Brother', but Cheng Si simply ignored these issues.

The smile on his face remained unchanged, Cheng Si continued:

"Cobra? If we are lucky on the later route, we may encounter...

"KC? KC also depends on luck...

“The South 6 team designed this route to encounter more snakes, but what kind of snakes they can encounter depends on their luck.

"But I think our team is lucky! We even took photos of the alligator lizard!"

Cheng Si kept chatting until Professor Zhou and others returned from taking samples.

At the end of the live broadcast, the Burmese python was released into the forest. At the end, Professor Zhou said a few words to guide the correct awareness of release.

Putting it in the right place is called reintroduction; putting it in the wrong place is called invasion or killing.

Before releasing the Burmese python, Feng Yi touched its head.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Watching the Burmese python disappear in the forest, Feng Yi felt relieved.

The matter with this python is in the past, so don’t expose the secret next time.

Show a relaxed smile and stretch.

"……elder brother?"

A voice came out faintly from the side.

Feng Yi stretched his waist halfway and shook.

Look at Cheng Si who is approaching from the side.

What are you shouting about! !

Who is your brother? !

Normally Cheng Si never spoke like this, but suddenly he spoke so affectionately that Feng Yi almost had goosebumps all over his body.

Cheng Si continued to stare at Feng Yi.

After the live broadcast ended, Cheng Si looked through the photo album on his mobile phone. During the Yueshan Xiao Qinglong incident, he took screenshots of several pictures from the news.

Brother Yueshan Snake is a man of legend who has appeared in the news of many countries! Become famous in one pinch! !

How many outdoor broadcasters were coveting the traffic of "Yueshan Snake Brother" at that time!

Just now Cheng Si looked at his phone, then at Feng Yi, and confirmed from Professor Zhou and the others that Feng Yi did live near Yue Mountain, and Professor Zhou would not say more.

However, Professor Zhou's reaction only deepened Cheng Si's speculation.

Cheng Si: "Brother Snake? Brother Snake in Yueshan Mountain??"

Feng Yi: "..."

Did my vest fall off again? !

"Idol!"

Cheng Si became more and more excited.

Seeing Feng Yi like this, Cheng Si knew that his guess was right!

Hold Feng Yi's hand.

Feng Yi twitched, but didn't.

"Brother! Are you accepting a disciple?!" Cheng Si asked.

"No!"

Feng Yi thought: I don't even know how I caught the snake!
