Steve and Feng Yi searched for the python separately, but they kept in touch.
The target area is too large, and the time they spend searching is uncertain. If they are lucky, they can find the python quickly, but if they are unlucky, they may not find it even after searching for a whole day. They will have to walk farther away, and if they encounter any emergency, they will not be able to know the other party's situation in time. In addition, there is positioning and location sharing, so they can know the approximate location of the other party.
"You can see if there is any snake shed skin. If you can find any, then the python must be nearby. I'm not very lucky here. I haven't seen any python shed skin so far. How is it over there?" Steve asked.
"I haven't found anything important for now." Feng Yi held a wooden stick in his hand and perfunctorily moved the grass and branches around him.
He doesn't actually need to use these tools, but he still has to make it look the way it should be, and it can't look too different.
His backpack also contained a folding snake hook for dealing with poisonous snakes. Even if Feng Yi didn't need this tool himself, he had to pretend to have it, or lend it to someone in need when necessary.
When there's no one else around, the tools you bring are just props.
Feng Yi held his shoes in one hand, stuffed his socks inside the shoes, and walked barefoot on the grass.
Because the branches around them grow wildly and completely freely, no one would trim them, and it would be impossible to make a path. So some people would bring knives or other tools to clear the way.
Feng Yi rolled up his sleeves and let the smooth or sharp branches scratch his arms. He walked barefoot in the forest, and the dense and serrated edges of the grass cut the skin on the back of his feet, but it did not hurt him at all, leaving no trace.
The plants in the wild swamp seemed a bit savage, and anyone who entered without warning might be injured and bleed. But for Feng Yi, this level was far from dangerous, it could only be considered a massage.
Walking leisurely forward in the sunshine.
Under the sunglasses, the pupils of his eyes narrowed into thin lines and then expanded.
In Feng Yi's eyes, the world is divided into two types. One is the world in the eyes of normal people, and the other is another world composed of odor molecules, pheromones, etc.
In the latter world, the smells emitted by various living or non-living things seem to be marked with different colors, spreading to every corner from the vast sky to behind every leaf.
The world composed of turbulent particles of different colors seems chaotic, but it has a vitality that even the best painter in the world cannot depict.
Feng Yi, who broke in here, was like a predator with a keen sense of smell and great lethality, searching for his target.
Steve's voice came back: "Wait, I found something! Let me confirm it first and contact you later."
Feng Yi also said: "It just so happens that I have made some discoveries here as well."
Steve wanted to ask "What exactly did you find over there?" but he felt that this question was a bit redundant. Feng Yi only said that he had made some discoveries, but he didn't really confirm that he had discovered anything important.
In addition, there was indeed a major discovery here, and Steve was very excited and didn't care about too much. He knew that although Feng Yi always acted unexpectedly, he was able to protect himself.
"Okay, stay safe. If you need anything, just call emergency number."
"clear."
Feng Yi continued to move forward.
A python was caught after it had hidden itself in some dense undergrowth.
It was originally basking in the sun, and when it sensed someone approaching, it crawled towards the woods. Unfortunately, it was not fast enough to escape, and was eventually pulled out by Feng Yi.
This python is much bigger than the ones Feng Yi caught yesterday. Feng Yi estimated that it is about 4 meters long, maybe a little bit short of 4 meters, but not too far.
This length can only be considered to be at the level of a giant python, and is far from the extreme individual they are looking for.
But Feng Yi couldn't just leave it here and let it continue to grow.
When he was looking for the python just now, the odor molecule corresponded to an individual Burmese python, not a hybrid.
Even if it is caught, it will definitely be treated much better than those hybrids, after all, it has a relatively mild temper and is not too aggressive. When it senses someone approaching, its first reaction is to flee, rather than continue to ambush in the bushes and be ready to launch a surprise attack at any time.
Grabbing the snake's head, Feng Yi sat directly on the grass, put down the backpack behind him, and took out the bag containing the snake from it.
There are many sizes of bags, and Feng Yi only brought one of the largest size.
The backpack had limited capacity, so in order not to stand out, he carried more tools like everyone else. But once the snake was on board, he could bring another large bag from the cargo box on the boat.
The ship where Warren was was equivalent to their supply station. When they ran out of supplies, they could just go there to replenish their supplies.
In fact, if he really wanted to fit more, he could have put in two more large cloth bags, but Feng Yi didn't have that much extra space.
He filled the remaining space with compressed biscuits.
When Feng Yi took out the cloth bag from his backpack, the torso of the snake that Feng Yi was holding had already wrapped around Feng Yi.
If it were someone else, they would have been strangled to the point of having difficulty breathing, and they might not have been able to exert enough strength to hold the snake.
However, Feng Yi still held the snake head firmly, and his breathing rate did not change at all. He opened the cloth bag with his other hand, and then he slowly "untied" the snake from his body and put it into the bag.
He has his own way of catching and handling snakes, which others cannot use. Of course, if you have the ability, you will do it in your own way, or according to your instinct. In this matter, instinct is particularly reliable.
Anyway, there is no one around to see you, so you can do whatever you want. What a great opportunity, it saves time and is effective.
If he were to catch snakes the way most people do, it would just be a constraint for him and his hands and feet would be restricted.
Tie up the bag containing the python.
The temperature is just right now, the grass is comfortable, and there are just the right amount of branches to provide shelter. If possible, Feng Yi really wants to let his little tail come out to relax and stretch his muscles.
Since leaving home, he has felt like a 1.8-meter-tall man sitting on a children's stool, feeling suffocated.
Now there is a chance to stretch.
But no, I'd better continue to endure it to be on the safe side.
Feng Yi rolled a few times on the grass, ate a piece of compressed biscuit, and drank half a bottle of water.
If I can’t put my little tail down, then why don’t I sleep here for a while
Feng Yi closed his eyes, dozed for nearly 5 minutes, then jumped up.
The experimental equipment is not ready yet, why are you sleeping!
Continue to earn money and points!
Feng Yi put on his bag, put on his shoes and socks, grabbed the bag containing the python, and prepared to go back to the boat to put the python down, then take the bag and continue his work in another place.
We can't go any further here, as the front is the territory of the bobcat.
He smelled the scent of a bobcat. A little further ahead should be its territory. There was the scent of it marking its territory, and he also found scratch marks on a tree trunk not far away.
Feng Yi decided not to disturb this little cutie.
Besides, there was no obvious smell of the giant python over there, so either the giant python was not there, or he needed to go a long way forward. But he couldn't go too far away from the ship, so he gave up the search over there for the time being.
After walking back a while with brisk steps, Feng Yi received a voice call from Steve.
Steve raised his voice, "It's worth it that I have been searching here for nearly two hours. I found a cave! There is a target inside!"
Steve then remembered that Feng Yi had also mentioned that he had made some discoveries, so he asked, "What progress have you made?"
"I've caught it." Feng Yi said.
"What are you catching?"
"A python, we caught one and put it in the bag."
Steve: “…How old?”
"Probably about four meters, maybe a little less."
Steve breathed a sigh of relief. A four-meter python was not too difficult for Feng Yi. He asked again, "Are you hurt?"
"without."
"When was he caught?"
Feng Yi remained calm and said, "Just now."
Steve didn't know whether to believe it or not. Anyway, he was silent for a moment and didn't continue to dwell on this topic. He said, "The one in the cave over here is a big one. I just used a camera to look inside. I'll stay here. You put yours on the boat first.
"Okay, I'll go find Warren first, and then I'll come over to your place right away."
Feng Yi carried the cloth bag containing the python in one hand and hurried towards Warren. He slowed down when he was close to the boat. He changed his posture and carried the cloth bag. Then, as if he was carrying a heavy burden, he pretended to wipe the non-existent sweat and increased his breathing rate.
Warren saw it from a distance and came over to greet him. "It's a big one. It's really heavy!"
"It's not particularly big, about four meters. Steve found a bigger one over there. He brought a camera specially used for searching caves, and he has confirmed that there is a big one in there."
"Wow, you are so lucky today!" Warren's face was also full of joy.
Catching a python means more life for other animals in the swamp, and the crocodiles in the swamp will also have one less strong enemy.
Of course Warren was happy!
Feng Yi didn't say much, picked up another large bag and rushed towards Steve.
In fact, even without the positioning function, Feng Yi could find Steve by following the smell information without having to look at Steve's exact location at the moment.
It’s just that real-time positioning can allow Feng Yi to find it as quickly as possible without taking many detours. After all, Steve’s search process is not a straight line.
After Feng Yi arrived, he worked with Steve and took some effort to catch the giant python hiding inside.
This one is obviously larger than the one Feng Yi just caught.
"Estimated to be more than five meters! Very strong!"
Steve was excited.
Feng Yi grabbed the snake's head and Steve grabbed the snake's tail, and the two of them worked together to carry the giant python towards Warren.
We didn't put it in a big bag right away because a python of this size would be difficult to lift once it was packed up.
The giant python, more than 5 meters long, is the largest individual caught in the first two days of the competition. Although it is not a hybrid, it is enough to attract attention from all parties.
Steve also asked Warren to take photos and videos. After he posted them on his Moments to show off, the photos of him and Feng Yi lifting the giant python quickly spread in various chat groups.
When they returned to the residential area, it was already dark. Many media outlets who had received the news were already waiting there, clicking their cameras as they approached. Many reporters wanted to squeeze in for an interview.
Steve had experience dealing with this kind of situation, so he calmly answered a few questions and then asked everyone to follow him to the delivery location.
The staff at the delivery office also received the news and transferred an old employee to wait here. This large python was indeed exciting, and it also gave new expectations to those who had returned empty-handed for two consecutive days.
The staff at the delivery office was very experienced and measured the length of the python after receiving the goods.
"5.35 meters! The largest fish in the first two days of the competition!"
Although it may not be the largest in this competition, hybrids of 5.7 meters and even 6 meters have been caught here in the past. But it is not certain that it will be caught in this competition.
The record for this session is currently held by the duo of Steve and Feng Yi.
After Steve dealt with the media, he made an appointment with Feng Yi to go to the rooftop restaurant of the hotel to order food to celebrate. When they returned to the hotel after chatting and laughing, the moment he stepped into the hotel door, Steve suddenly remembered something.
Steve paused and said to Feng Yi seriously, "Why don't you go back first? I have something else to do and I want to go..."
"Where do you want to go?" A deep and somewhat majestic voice called out to him.
Director He was sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby, looking like he had been waiting for a long time. Although he still had a smile on his face, there was a stern and cold look in his eyes when he looked at people.
Feng Yi looked at Director He, then at Steve, and said with a well-behaved look on his face, "You two have something to discuss, I'll go up first?"
Director He stood up and said, "Let's go up together. You two can go to my room."
Feng Yi looked at Steve in confusion. He felt that this was not a good thing.
Steve touched his face, spread his hands, and sighed silently.
In Director He's room, the tablet computer on the table played the clip of Feng Yi using his sliding skill to catch a crocodile today.
Feng Yi: “…”
Director He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were still fierce. He looked at Feng Yi and asked, "Who taught you this method?"
Feng Yi lacked confidence: "I created it myself. I was wrong. I was too impulsive at the time."
Director He said "hmm" in an ambiguous tone and looked at Steve again.
Steve said seriously, "He said he can do it. I have to give newcomers some opportunities."
Director He had a blank expression on his face. "He said he could catch it, so you let him catch it alone! What did I tell you before the game?!"
One dares to say it, the other dares to believe it!
Steve was the first to pass the buck: "No, I went over there too, but he was so quick. Before I could tell him a safe strategy, he slid in! Director He, believe me, I was also shocked at the time!"
No matter what they said, no matter how they admitted their mistakes, the two were kept by Director He to receive safety education.
An hour later, the two came out listlessly. There was no need to go to the rooftop restaurant to celebrate. They went back to their room to write a letter of guarantee first.
Feng Yi chose to order food in the room and had it delivered to the room. While he was holding a pen and thinking about how to write a letter of guarantee, he received a call request from Feng Chi.
The busy mode of the phone was set before, messages are not disturbed, and there is no reminder for receiving messages. Voice calls are displayed.
Feng Yi looked at the time. It was past eight o'clock. In China, it was past eight in the morning.
Putting the pen aside, Feng Yi answered the call: "You are really good! You woke up so early? Or are you still awake?"
For Feng Chi, who is not doing his job properly, eight or nine o'clock in the morning is still time for sleeping.
"… didn't sleep. But that's not important!"
Feng Chi said in a subtle tone: "Brother, you've been exposed!"
"What are you digging?" Feng Yi wondered.
"Snake's identity, and, uh... old photos."
"What old photos? Catching snakes?"
"Look at the picture I sent you."
Feng Yi switched pages and looked at the information received on the chat interface.
The picture Feng Chi sent was a stitching of two pictures.

Feng Yi: “…”
Why did these people dig out the photos I took when I was working part-time in college? !
