The lights reflected on the dark lake surface flickered.
A small boat was sailing in the darkness.
On the boat were Wei Hongxi, Xiao Ding, personnel from the Forestry Bureau, as well as photographers sent by the resort manager and boat staff.
The resort decided to take advantage of this incident. The person in charge didn't dare to follow, so they asked a photographer to follow and record it.
After the incident is over, the edited video will be converted into more profits. The video must be released after the approval of the Forestry Bureau and the Joint Security Bureau, but it doesn't matter. For them, having topics and profits is enough. Of course, the most important thing now is to catch the python first!
This photographer is not a professional outdoor photographer. His current job is just to follow the shooting and he can't help with anything else, so he just stands quietly and records.
Although he didn't make a sound, the photographer's face was tense and he stared around vigilantly, fearing that a giant python would suddenly jump out from somewhere.
The boat is not big, it is the kind of cruise ship commonly used in local lake view parks. It is provided by the resort. Time is tight and there is no other choice.
This kind of cruise ship doesn’t look very sturdy and seems unreliable.
In a movie, something will happen, and then a few people will fall down, and then some other crisis will occur...
The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. The photographer trembled. This happened too suddenly tonight, and the resort couldn't find a suitable photographer for the time being. He was considered to be quite courageous, and the resort offered a lot, so he was willing to take the risk.
There were five searchlights on the boat. Wei Hongxi and the staff from the Forestry Bureau were observing the surroundings. There was also a drone flying not far away.
Among the people on the boat, Xiao Ding was the calmest. He was using his mobile phone to broadcast a live text message to others in the chat group.
In situations like this, Xiao Ding and the others were not actually worried about Feng Yi's safety. When Feng Yi first appeared in front of them in another form, what Xiao Ding was most impressed with was the metal frame that was dented by Feng Yi's tail.
"Your boss's swimming skills are good enough for him to participate in professional competitions, right?" Wei Hongxi said.
Wei Hongxi originally planned that Feng Yi would search in the water while they followed by boat.
Unexpectedly, when the boat came, Feng Yi dived into the water and couldn't find anyone.
Although Feng Yi had told them before that he would search by diving and asked them not to worry, Wei Hongxi couldn't help but think too much after hearing nothing for such a long time.
Xiao Ding thought about it and replied, "I can't participate."
Wei Hongxi didn't really want Feng Yi to participate in the competition, so he didn't continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "Can you really not contact your boss?"
"I really can't." Xiao Ding said, "But you don't have to worry, he's very capable."
At this time, the forestry bureau staff discovered something and pointed to the shore not far away, "Hey, wait! The boat should come closer!"
The Forestry Bureau staff directed the boat to move a little closer to the shore, and then used an extended clamp to pick up a small piece of something from the grass on the shore.
"Snake slough!"
Although the small piece was a bit folded and curled, making it difficult to identify, Wei Hongxi recognized it.
"Um."
The Forestry Bureau personnel took the small piece of wood, wet it in water, and slowly unfolded it.
A small lump expanded into a snake skin the size of two palms.
This is only part of the snake's slough. But since they could find snake sloughs here, there must be more. It was inconvenient for them to be on the boat, so Wei Hongxi contacted other people to come here to look carefully and collect more snake sloughs.
After finishing the call, Wei Hongxi looked carefully at the snake skin he had just picked up.
"It's a big one!"
The Forestry Bureau staff also looked gloomy.
"It shed its skin not long ago, and it may have eaten. It is not hungry, and it did not attack Mo Xiaoguang and the others directly when it met them."
The discovery of this snake skin confirmed what Mo Xiaoguang said and the clues that Feng Yi found through the fishing net.
It is indeed a giant python!
Can Feng Yi handle such a big python by himself
On the other side, Feng Yi dived into the water to follow the smell of the snake, swam for a while and then surfaced to identify the smell, and then continued to search. Although he still surfaced from time to time, his speed was far faster than Wei Hongxi and others.
Feng Yi did not even expose his tail in the water.
There is no need to show it, and it is useless, and you have to worry about being discovered all the time. Although it is now covered by the night, many people have been attracted by this matter, and several departments have been transferred. Who knows where there are people and cameras hiding
After Feng Yi sensed the location of the python, he slowed down.
Unrecognizable plants grow in the shallow waters near the shore, and plants half a person's height are densely distributed along the lake.
A long, thick body was hidden beneath the water.
It was leaning against the rocks on the shore, with half of its head exposed, its eyes and nostrils visible. There were black arrow patterns on its head, but they could not be seen in the dark.
The whole body was motionless.
The lake, the night, the grass, and its own pattern conceal it, so even in the daytime, someone walking by the shore might not notice it.
It is even more difficult to spot it at night due to limited lighting.
Perhaps when Mo Xiaoguang and his team were casting the net, the python was also quietly staying on the shore, but Mo Xiaoguang and his team didn't notice it.
However, Feng Yi does not rely on vision to find snakes.
After locking onto the target, he swam towards it.
Sensing Feng Yi's approach, the python did not move, but moved its tongue in and out, sensing the changes in the smell around it.
What should I do if I find a python
What skills are needed to catch a python
Skill
Feng Yi didn't know how others would react, but for him—
At times like this, of course you should just rely on your instinct and rush forward!
Of course, Feng Yi did not take action immediately.
When it got closer, Feng Yi almost floated on the water. He swam sideways and stopped beside it, staring at the python.
Alas, I didn’t bring my cell phone.
It's a pity that I can't take pictures.
Judging from its visual length, it is about the same as the one he caught when he was on scientific expedition with his team in Nanchong Mountains, perhaps a little longer. However, the most obvious difference is that this snake is thicker and looks more "bulky".
Privately raised snakes are indeed fatter than wild snakes.
However, even though the giant python in front of us looks "bulky", it must be quite flexible when hunting or attacking.
The muscles on its body were too threatening, and what Wei Hongxi said before was not an exaggeration at all.
Sensing Feng Yi approaching, the python did not leave. It stuck out its tongue, turned its head, and stared at Feng Yi with cold and ruthless eyes.
Feng Yi responded with his vertical pupils that seemed to be devoid of any emotion.
"Hi~"
Feng Yi did not show any aggressiveness.
It also doesn't seem to be aggressive.
The man and the snake looked at each other for a few seconds, then the python turned its head, spit out its tongue, and prepared to leave.
Feng Yi couldn't let it run away, so he scooped it up and walked towards the shore.
—
Wei Hongxi's side.
After the boat sailed for a while, Wei Hongxi couldn't find Feng Yi's location, so he stopped the boat, waited until the surroundings were quiet, and listened carefully to the movements around him.
The other people on the boat also realized that Wei Hongxi was trying to judge by the sound whether there were other human voices or easily overlooked cries for help, so they all breathed softly and stopped what they were doing.
There was the sound of waves hitting the hull.
I don't know what animal made the sound in the distance, but it was definitely not a snake.
When everyone thought they couldn't hear anything, suddenly a fluttering sound came from somewhere ahead.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Go over there!"
Wei Hongxi quickly contacted the people around him and gathered around the place where the noise came from.
He is anxious!
If rescue is not timely, the person entangled in the water will be in great danger!
If Feng Yi is really in trouble, they will only have a few dozen seconds at most!
The searchlight shone over and Wei Hongxi picked up the telescope.
They rushed over very quickly, and the people who received Wei Hongxi's information also rushed over quickly. They all knew that time was running out, so they hurried over to provide support.
But when you really feel...
Feng Yi was walking towards the shore from the lake.
Holding the snake's head in one hand, with a section hanging around its neck, and scooping up another section with the other hand, he stepped on the bank slope with difficulty.
Those who arrived first after receiving Wei Hongxi's news were all shocked when they saw the thick python that Feng Yi was carrying.
Most people are afraid of giant pythons. When they see such a big python, even if they have received news about it and are mentally prepared, it will be hard to recover from the shock when they see it with their own eyes.
If Feng Yi was in danger of his life, they could also use tools and equipment to simply and roughly deal with the python.
But now Feng Yi was fine, and was walking towards the shore with the snake, so they didn't know what to do. They weren't professionals, and it was okay for a small python, but for such a big one, they had to wait for professionals to come, otherwise they would only make things worse.
Fortunately, Wei Hongxi and his companions came over quickly.
He was relieved to find that Feng Yi was fine. Wei Hongxi had heard people mention Feng Yi was very good at catching snakes before, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene with his own eyes.
Feng Yi had difficulty walking. The difficulty was not because he was carrying such a big python, but because the road from the lake to the shore was not easy to walk on.
I walked towards the bank on the mud in the lake, but the bank was a bit slippery and I almost fell.
Fortunately, I wasn’t wearing shoes!
No one noticed that when Feng Yi stepped on the slope, a layer of scales appeared on the soles of his feet, firmly gripping the ground.
If I had been wearing shoes, I might not have had that kind of grip and I would have slipped and fallen into the lake.
Only when we finally reached the shore did the scales on the soles of our feet disappear.
Then, in full view of everyone, Feng Yi, panting and looking extremely tired, threw the piece of snake body in his hand onto the grass.
Now all there is is the snake head in my hand and a section hanging around its neck.
Okay, not so eye-catching anymore!
Feng Yi smiled and looked at Wei Hongxi and the others who came over, "Mission accomplished!"
Wei Hongxi and the people from the Forestry Bureau hurriedly got off the boat and went over to take down the piece of snake body hanging from Feng Yi's neck.
"You can't just hang it around your neck like this, it'll squeeze you and you'll be done for!"
With just such a simple action, Wei Hongxi deeply felt the weight of the snake! He didn't even know how Feng Yi carried the snake ashore!
