Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Feng Yi slid directly into the gap between the person in the water and the crocodile.
In an instant, water splashed.
The alligator, already on alert, shook its head and was about to bite.
A pair of hands pressed directly on its wide mouth and closed it.
The anxious mood solidified in an instant.
It's like boiling water suddenly calming down.
The atmosphere is not as tense as before.
The water waves kicked up by Feng Yi's sliding tackle gradually calmed down.
Steve stared at that place with a blank face.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the time when he was on the expedition in the Nanchong Mountains. The boy grabbed a coral snake and his phone slipped out of his pocket. In order to free his hands to save the phone, he directly grabbed the coral snake's tail! That was the most poisonous coral snake in the country!
When he was catching pythons in the mountains, he ran towards him with a huge python wrapped around his body. Didn't he know how strong the python's strangling power was? !
And now, facing an alligator that is nearly four meters tall, a sliding tackle
You fucking slide? ! !
Can't you use normal means? ! !
Steve touched his heart with a shaking hand and said silently: Fortunately, I am still young and can withstand the shock. If it were Director He...
But now was not the time to be absent-minded. Steve approached the water with the rope and asked, "Do you want to tie it up?"
Tying the crocodile's mouth is to restrict one of its major killing weapons.
Feng Yi thought for a moment, "Should we catch this crocodile? If not, there's no need to tie it up. When the danger is over, just let it go."
Pan Weining's cousin, the young man trapped in the water, stared blankly at the big crocodile with its mouth pinched in front of him, then looked at the person standing in front of him, and then looked at the ordinary hands pinching the crocodile's mouth.
It wasn't until Pan Weining called him that he came to his senses.
Although Pan Weining's expression eased, he was still nervous and said in a low voice: "Youning! Come here quickly!"
Pan Youning did not leave the water immediately, as he was afraid that if he moved, something might happen again. He did not listen to his cousin, but looked at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi tilted his head towards the crowd and said, "Go ashore."
"Oh well!"
At this moment, in Pan Youning's mind, the person who saved him from the jaws of an alligator was definitely an expert! An absolutely reliable expert!
At this time, of course you should listen to the experts!
Pan Youning wiped the water splashed on his face, the cold sweat from being scared just now, and the tears that almost came out, then he carefully raised his legs and walked towards the shore.
I had been standing in the water, and because of the shock, I was a little stiff, and my steps were staggering, but I still managed not to fall into the water. I had finally waited for the chance to save my life, so I couldn't waste it like this.
After Pan Youning got ashore and left the danger zone, the others retreated a distance, so that even if the crocodile continued to chase them, they would have time to escape. After being scared like this, they could only feel relieved if they kept a safe distance.
Pan Weining and others looked towards the water.
"What should we do next? Do we really not need to tie the crocodile's mouth? I see people tie their mouths first when they catch a crocodile." One of them said.
"But we're not going to catch crocodiles now." Pan Weining had just heard what Feng Yi and Steve said, and he was still a little worried.
Although these experts have their own way of dealing with it, Pan Weining still reminded: "This crocodile has a bad temper. How about tying it up?"
Steve looked at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi shook his head: "I don't think it is that willing to attack now."
Steve: “How do you prove it?”
Feng Yi was silent for a moment, then exerted a little force on his hands.
Everyone saw that as Feng Yi's hands moved, the crocodile with its mouth pinched slowly turned around in the water.
Another circle.
The nearly four-meter-long beast was just rolling in the water at a low speed due to Feng Yi's force.
Emotionally stable.
Pan Weining and others: “…”
Warren, a local, almost popped his eyes out. Who among these people knows more about crocodiles than Warren? But now he was confused.
Very confused.
"This... could it be the legendary... death roll?" someone said uncertainly.
"What the hell is death rolling!" another person denied.
What does a death roll look like? Even if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, you have seen it on TV!
The reason why the death roll is called "death" is that it is so violent, powerful, and sudden, leaving no chance for people to react!
Although some people on the Internet make jokes, saying that one of the ways to crack the death roll is to roll with it when it rolls.
This method is feasible in theory, but it is basically impossible to implement.
A crocodile can hurt itself when it does a death roll, so why would it yell "Ready—roll" to you? And also agree on the speed and direction
Now look ahead.
It seems, a little, too perfunctory.
The scene in front of me is more like... a performance
Pan Weining hesitated and said, "I suspect that the crocodile we just encountered is not the same one as this one?"
Pan Youning's eyes were burning: "Is this the world of masters?!"
Look at the alligator in the water, its ferocious appearance, its thick body, and its seemingly gentle temperament as it rolls over...
"Are crocodiles so easy to deal with?"
"I seem to understand why the rescue team didn't rush here. Perhaps the Michigan River alligators are indeed quite gentle, and the rescue team really thinks this is not a big deal?"
Seeing the admiring eyes of these young people, Steve was startled and said quickly: "No! You have to believe that ordinary people really can't do this! You must not learn from Feng Yi! His behavior is not a reference! Don't learn any of his movements!! "
Worried that these people might not take it seriously, Steve added, "The last person who learned to catch snakes from Feng Yi was bitten by a venomous snake and was sent to the hospital. That was just a venomous snake. If it was a crocodile of this size, you might not even have the chance to go to the hospital!"
Steve didn’t know how Cheng Si was bitten by the Zhoushan cobra during the scientific expedition, but he had some vague guesses. Although he was not sure, at this time, he would take Cheng Si’s case as an example.
"The mild temperament of the Mississippi River alligator is relative, and there are differences between individuals. This one tends to be irritable."
After saying that, Steve looked at Warren again, repeated it in a foreign language, and then asked Warren to persuade him as well.
Warren quickly said, "Yes, yes! People are different. You don't have..."
Warren originally wanted to say Feng Yi's "ancestral DNA", but he felt that it was not scientific enough, so he changed it to:
"You don't have enough talent, experience and strength."
Pan Weining and others agreed with this.
Although they had received some simple training before coming to Virginia, they did not have enough practical experience and did not have the confidence to face such a large crocodile.
Now thinking back to Feng Yi’s actions just now, the entry point was indeed not the crocodile’s blind spot, and it could not even be described as calm.
On the contrary, Feng Yi's actions seemed impulsive and swift, and he slid directly to the crocodile's mouth. This was simply a suicidal operation, and most people could not do such a thing.
It is even more impossible to clamp the crocodile's mouth so accurately and forcefully!
How much strength would it take to clamp the mouth of such a large crocodile
They haven't tried it, and they don't want to try it.
In short, just be awesome!
Not to mention that Pan Weining and others didn’t know how Feng Yi had such amazing skills in catching crocodiles, even Steve himself didn’t know why this was happening!
"Now, Feng Yi, you can release it. Be careful! Think about the skills you learned at the training base and be alert! Do you need any tools?"
Steve stared at that place closely. He was really worried that Feng Yi would do something shocking again.
"No tools needed. So I let you go?"
Feng Yi looked at the alligator in front of him. He did not feel any attacking intention from the alligator, and he was not afraid of the alligator's toughness.
On the contrary, Feng Yi was very much looking forward to it.
If the alligator rushed over again, he would hold it and roll in the water!
What a great opportunity!
I was so excited that the scales came out of my boots!
However, the alligator that was released swung its tail and turned to swim away, swimming very fast.
Feng Yi looked disappointed.
Others who are paying attention to this side: "..."
What the hell are you disappointed about!!
"Get up quickly! How long are you going to stand in the water?!" Steve urged.
After Feng Yi came ashore, everyone walked to a safe area and could detect any unusual movements around them. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Steve was also scared and wanted to say something to Feng Yi, but after looking at the others, he held back and turned to look at his phone.
He just took a photo of the crocodile, focusing on the tail so that the people at the research center could see the mark on the tail. Now the research center has responded.
After looking through the information, Steve looked up and said to the others, "This alligator is on file at the research center and has been tracked and studied. It does have a bad temper. Moreover, it has chased fishermen several times. You are really unlucky to have encountered it here. You should go fishing somewhere else. There are many areas near the sea for tourists to fish, and you don't have to worry about alligator attacks."
Steve spoke a few more words to Warren in a foreign language, and Warren agreed, "Well, there are a lot of people who go fishing in the swamp. It's really dangerous if you don't have some real skills. There are even people who get themselves killed while fishing."
As a local, Warren is well aware of the nature of those who go into the swamp to fish, and it is really impossible to control them.
Do those anglers really not know the dangers out there
No! They all know!
But I just feel that it is novel and exciting!
If we can’t control the children who go swimming in the swamp, how can we control those who go fishing
"A friend of mine is in charge of swamp rescue, and he always receives all kinds of strange calls for help. They happen in both the dry and rainy seasons. There are also cases where people tease crocodiles during the breeding season and are chased into residential areas."
Pan Weining and the others could understand some of Warren's words, and they looked uncomfortable. They were just here for another experience.
My original plan was to go fishing if I couldn’t catch a python, and if I didn’t catch anything, I would continue looking for pythons.
Who knew I would be so unlucky!
Not only did I encounter a giant alligator, but it also chased people!
"You should be thankful that it's not the breeding season. Alligators at that time are more easily excited, and the aggressive ones will become more aggressive. They will chase people faster and perhaps more persistently, and you may get bit if you're not careful," said Steve.
Pan Weining and others repeatedly promised that they would remember this lesson and would not take risks to do anything that was uncertain.
Pan Weining canceled the order for the private rescue team, so the people there didn't have to come over. The crisis had been resolved.
They wanted to pay him a reward. After all, Feng Yi had been working so hard until now and had saved them. They would feel a little uncomfortable if they didn't.
Feng Yi refused.
"It's a handy thing."
Pan Weining walked up to Feng Yi and said sincerely: "Anyway, thank you very much! I owe you a favor. Add my contact information. When you return to China and have time to visit Beijing, I'll host you."
After exchanging contact information, Feng Yi and the other two sent them to the highway, watched them leave by car, and then returned to the boat and continued to move deeper into the swamp.
The people in the car that Pan Weining and his companions were riding in were relaxed at this time. Since there were no outsiders around, they spoke more casually.
"That was Feng Yi just now? The famous Snake Brother? That's fucking awesome!"
"I always thought those people on the Internet were exaggerating and hyping things up."
"Can the online hype be recognized by the Joint Guarantee Bureau?" Pan Weining said.
"I know now that I was wrong. You can't judge a person by his appearance! How should I put it? Many times, I think you are right when I analyze rationally, but I don't agree emotionally. I even think that what I think is right. No matter what others say, I always stick to my own opinion. But when I really encounter something and witness it with my own eyes, I know what a showdown between masters is!"
Pan Weining's brother Pan Youning had a deeper understanding at this time, "Perhaps what you think is a matter of life and death is nothing but a piece of cake in front of a master."
As he spoke, Pan Youning also made the gesture of Feng Yi pinching the crocodile's mouth.
"Just a light tap, a pinch, and a roll... It's amazing! I declare that Feng Yi is my idol from now on!"
The person sitting in the front passenger seat also said, "Da Pan, after you told me yesterday, I thought he was the kind of person who would hype up topics and then develop in the entertainment industry. I underestimated him! Hey, Da Pan, I just took a video, can I post it online?"
"Let me ask."
Pan Weining watched the other party’s video and forwarded it to Feng Yi for inquiry.
At this time, Feng Yi was also chatting with someone. When he saw Pan Weining's message, he quickly replied.
Pan Weining took one look and said to the person in the passenger seat, "He said his behavior is not of reference value, so don't post it online to mislead people."
"That's such a shame, that scene just now was so cool!" The person in the passenger seat sighed, unwilling to give up, so he asked, "How about sending a few photos?"
He carefully selected two and sent them to Pan Weining.
Pan Weining then turned the question to Feng Yi for questioning.
After a while, he said, "Feng Yi said it's okay, but it has to be censored. He doesn't want people from the media to bother him."
Because of the python hunting activity these days, they saw many media vehicles from various countries, including government agencies, local TV stations, and online media.
Some people will do anything for traffic.
"Understand. I know what to do!"
As the man spoke, he processed the face in the photo and then posted it on social media platforms at home and abroad, narrating in a vivid and emotional manner what he had experienced today.
Feng Yi's name was not mentioned, he was just described as a very capable young expert.
Pan Weining saw the post and clicked on it. "You call this censorship?"
"I did! I photoshopped in sunglasses and a mask."
"Who the hell can't tell it's Brother Snake?"
