"How do you replace teeth?" Feng Yi asked.
The butler pondered for a moment. There was also the sound of turning pages, and it could be felt that the other party seemed to be in great distress.
After a while, the butler said, "You need to discover this yourself. After all, the reference material I have here is only the small groove teeth. Moreover, your tooth replacement period is earlier than I expected."
Meaning: There is no reference material for your big tube teeth.
This matter stumped Feng Yi.
"Then...how are the groove teeth replaced in the information?" Feng Yi asked again.
"A new pair will grow out and replace the old teeth," said the butler.
This means that old teeth fall out only after new teeth grow out.
Feng Yi looked in the mirror and flicked out the pair of large tube teeth that had been retracted. It was obvious that there would not be enough space for a pair of new teeth to grow side by side.
"I probably won't adopt this approach." Feng Yi said.
"Yeah, I think so too. So, you need to observe and pay attention on your own." The butler sighed.
Feng Yi thought about it and realized that what the housekeeper was talking about was "tooth replacement". That is to say, if tooth replacement is caused by external factors, the old teeth should be damaged, or are no longer sharp enough to pierce the skin of the prey, making it difficult to perform their functions, so new teeth will grow to replace them.
But the situation was different for Feng Yi. Feng Yi didn't use it at all. In order to extract the venom, Feng Yi paid more attention to the maintenance of his teeth. He brushed his teeth very carefully every morning and evening. Even if it was kept in his mouth all the time, there was no plaque or tartar. It was clean and white.
There can be no damage.
As for hunger, he could actually endure it during this period, unlike when he was undergoing the scientific expedition and was starving so terribly.
Or maybe, it is time to change teeth, and the environment and conditions are just right to stimulate the changes
Regardless, the change has already begun, and once it has a direction, it cannot be stopped until it completes this phase of change. There is no such thing as a pause.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to during the tooth replacement period?" Feng Yi asked.
“…pay attention to nutrition.”
This is a bit like nonsense. After all, Feng Yi doesn't dare to eat freely outside now. Because of the hot search, many people are watching him. At the same time, his performance in catching pythons is very impressive. Not only in the residential area, but also in the swamp, he may be watched by other contestants. Now he can only take time to eat compressed biscuits when looking for pythons, or wait to get a snack when he returns to the hotel.
"Why not just quit?" said the butler.
In comparison, Feng Yi’s health is definitely the most important thing, and money and points can be earned later.
Feng Yi certainly wouldn't joke about his own body. He also knew that this change was very important, but he had his own considerations.
"How long will the tooth replacement period last?" Feng Yi asked.
"The information says it will take less than a month, but I don't know if your situation will take longer." The housekeeper also knew that Feng Yi had been busy with laboratory matters. "The energy required for the initial period of time is not much, you have time to think about it."
"Um."
"Try to eat as much as possible. Luckily, Xiao Bing made a lot of effort in the nutrition of the compressed biscuits he made for you. Use those compressed biscuits for now. Eat more fresh food when you dine out, and order food in your room when you return to the hotel to make up for the loss."
"Ok, I know."
"If you want to chew on something, you can chew more."
"understood."
The old butler sighed over there. Although he didn't like the big tooth, he cared about Feng Yi very much. He couldn't do anything, so he could only make some suggestions and then respect Feng Yi's decision. If he had known that Feng Yi's tooth replacement period would be advanced, he would have suggested Feng Yi to give up this activity. Unfortunately, there is no if.
After finishing the call, Feng Yi sat on the chair with a serious face. He raised his hand, bit his thumb, and felt it carefully.
Well, I need to bite something harder.
Take out the order booklet in the hotel room and look through it.
Some species are included in the protected list, and some animals are restricted for consumption. The specialties of Florida in the past may not be edible now, but Feng Yi doesn't care so much.
Flipping through the order book, there was nothing in it that satisfied Feng Yi.
“The meat is too soft… The meat is too thin…”
I looked around and ordered anything with big bones or hard shells.
Used for grinding teeth.
After the meal was served and to comfort his poor stomach, Feng Yi took a piece of shell and started to chew it while thinking about something.
The replacement of teeth was also accompanied by the strengthening of the venom glands, which he could vaguely feel.
However, Feng Yi didn’t know whether the strengthening of venom glands and fangs was a good thing.
No matter how sharp the fangs are, or how powerful the venom is, what good is it to him
No matter how much "food" there is in the wild, he cannot eat it because it is all protected by local laws.
On the contrary, it may subject him to more constraints and restrictions in his daily life.
If it's about body strengthening, anything like muscles and bones will do, even strengthening the tail is fine!
Why the poison gland
He's not weak at all!
Feng Yi thought deeply.
Could it be that because the tail was not released, the body made the same choice as last time and strengthened the venom gland
If I choose to strengthen the venom glands, then does that mean the strengthening of other parts of the body will have to be put on the back burner
Each enhancement requires sufficient energy to support it, so the unused parts will be in energy-saving mode
No wonder I always feel that the little tail is well-behaved.
Feng Yi changed a shell and continued to chew it.
In fact, if you think about it in a positive way, the venom gland is always better than other strange changes.
It will definitely have an impact on his condition. If possible, Feng Yi hopes that the game can end as soon as possible.
But obviously not.
So, Feng Yi thought, why not quit early
But he is unwilling to give up. The pythons that have been caught so far cannot meet his needs, and he cannot exchange them for sufficiently satisfactory models.
Come here and just go back like this
The butler said that he still had time to prepare.
Feng Yi thought about it carefully all night, and the next day, he agreed to Steve's suggestion to stay in the swamp for a few days.
Steve was very excited. Since they were going to spend the night in the swamp, they didn't take the boat. Steve rented a car, applied to Director He, and fished out some necessary supplies to take with him.
But I couldn't set off immediately.
A rainstorm disrupted everyone's activities.
However, the contestants also regard this as a short relaxation and a vacation.
During the two days of rest, Feng Yi stayed in the hotel. When Steve went to visit the research center, he did not go with him. Instead, he studied the map, recalling all the smell information he had collected over the past few days and matching it with the map one by one.
Analyze where extreme individuals are most likely to appear.
Two days later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, and everyone set out again.
After a rain, the originally dry grass became more moist and there were more small puddles, which may have added obstacles to some people, but some people are better at finding pythons under such conditions.
Ten days after the python hunting event started, the number of participants decreased a lot. Some of them withdrew due to injuries due to various accidents during the hunt, some withdrew due to personal reasons, and some were scared away by the unfriendly environment in the swamp and the ferocity of the beasts there.
When Feng Yi and Steve drove off, he saw the people involved in the crocodile sliding incident, Pan Weining and his two friends.
When the three people over there saw Feng Yi, they took the initiative to step forward and say hello.
"Are there only three of you?" Feng Yi asked.
"My cousin and another friend were so scared that they stayed in the hotel playing games and refused to come out," said Pan Weining.
Pan Weining's cousin was the one who was trapped in the water by the crocodile.
Hearing this, Feng Yi's first reaction was: "Are they scared by the crocodile?"
Pan Weining smiled and shook his head. "No. Two days later, we caught a python. Although it was not big, we were very excited. When we went to the delivery point, we happened to meet another group of amateur contestants. They caught the snake and filmed a video. One of them was not paying attention and was bitten by the python."
Pan Weining pointed to its face and said, "It bit its face directly and wouldn't let go. There was blood all over the floor. Fortunately, the staff at the delivery point were experienced and handled the situation quickly. After the snake let go, we saw teeth marks all over its face, as if it had been pierced by many nails. It looked like its nose had been pierced through. It was scary."
Even if the python is small, it is still a wild beast, a fierce beast! Don't think that pythons can't hurt people just because they don't have fangs, and don't think that "gentle" pythons won't bite people. Gentleness is relative. It's lucky to be bitten on the arm. As Pan Weining said, the person whose face was bitten by the python must have suffered a lot during the subsequent treatment.
No matter how many times it is emphasized before the event begins, there are always people who ignore their lethality, become complacent, and then become careless, and then learn a lesson.
Steve didn't care much when he heard this. He had seen this kind of thing many times. Even professionals could easily make such mistakes, not to mention amateurs with more impetuous mindsets.
Pan Weining didn't say anything more. They looked at Feng Yi and Steve with admiration and respect. It was because of their experience that they realized how difficult it is to find pythons in the Everglades, and that one could get bitten if one was not careful when catching one.
So far, Feng Yi and Steve have not only caught a lot of pythons, but also caught giant pythons without any injuries.
Is this the world of masters
Both sides have their own plans and will not stay here for too long.
Steve said, "Good luck to you!"
Pan Weining and his friends also made a cheering gesture, "I hope you can catch a bigger python, and break the record if you can catch one that's six meters long!"
Steve was very happy to hear that and laughed: "Thank you for your good words!"
After Feng Yi and his group drove away, one of the people in Pan Weining's car said, "I just noticed that they have a lot of stuff in their car. Are they going to spend the night in the wild? Are they not going back to the residential area at night?"
“They used to come back every day.”
Now, people in the residential area discuss what the duo has gained every day. Even if they don't pay special attention, they can still hear a lot about Feng Yi and Steve. Especially the outstanding results, which are hard to match.
"Perhaps they have made some new discoveries and are planning some big moves?"
Not only did they think so, but others also thought so when they learned that Feng Yi and Steve chose to stay in the swamp for a few nights.
What? Those two aren't coming back
He must be planning a big move!
Feng Yi and his friends drove to the depths of the swamp, and they took turns driving along the way, each driving for an hour. It wasn't because driving was too tiring, but from time to time someone called and sent a message, so Steve decided to check it once an hour and reply uniformly.
Many media contacted Steve and Feng Yi, hoping to send the world's top photography team to follow the filming, but the two did not agree.
Steve received another call, and politely declined with a smile. After the call ended, he put down the phone and said disdainfully, "You're in the way!"
They even rejected Director He’s request for a follow-up filming, let alone requests from others!
They brought filming equipment and just had to hand in some video materials to Director He every day. There was no need to find someone to follow them.
As for the captured pythons, they will choose a location and ask Director He to send people to collect them. There are several official teams on the main roads in the swamp area to help receive the goods.
Steve complained about the media with evil intentions, and when he saw Feng Yi didn't say anything for a while, he turned his head to look at him.
I always felt that Feng Yi's eyes looked particularly deep when he came out today.
"Feng Yi, have you really made any important discovery? If so, don't hide it from me!" Steve said seriously.
"Really not."
Feng Yi really hasn't made any important discoveries yet, he just has a few new ideas.
He decided to make a quick decision.
He had overlooked one thing before. There were indeed a lot of disturbing smells in the swamp, and the brain also stored a lot of smell information. The main ones were the types owned by the research center. He had been identifying and searching for pythons before based on these smell information.
However, what exists in the Great Swamp is definitely more diverse and complex than what the research center has captured!
Different hybrids or mutants have different smells. Perhaps, during the previous search, some unfamiliar smells were overlooked.
After the heavy rain, the smell of the swamp was washed away.
But this may not be a bad thing for Feng Yi.
He has to carefully distinguish the smell information that may have been overlooked.
This time they traveled through the swamp and stayed in the swamp for two days.
That night, Feng Yi opened his eyes in the middle of the night and came out of the double tent.
Steve noticed it, but didn't care.
Feng Yi might be in a hurry, or he might be going to the car to get something, or he might be making a personal call. It's midnight here, but it's daytime in China, maybe there are some private conversations between young people
Steve didn't want to pry into those private matters.
After all, we are all adults, so we should respect each other's privacy.
Regardless of whether it is the emotional privacy of young people or the Feng family property dispute that has been hotly discussed online.
Tsk, the grudges between the rich and powerful~
Those were troubles Steve didn't want to know.
The past two nights were peaceful and uneventful. Feng Yi would also go to the car at night to get some things or make a phone call, etc. These were all discussed in advance.
But Steve didn't know that was Feng Yi's excuse. He actually went to the car to replenish food.
There were no whispers or disputes among the rich and powerful at all.
Feng Yi was too busy with his own affairs to pay attention to the fight over the Feng family's property, which he had given up long ago.
There was the sound of a car door opening.
Steve thought: Sure enough.
Then continue sleeping.
Feng Yi ate biscuits in the car to replenish his energy.
After eating, I prepared to go back to the tent to sleep.
The evening breeze blows, bringing with it the scent of distant places.
Feng Yi paused.
Distinguish carefully.
It seems that there is some strange smell information in the wind.
After analyzing and translating these odor information, Feng Yi roughly said:
The hungry bully comes out of the cave, and the minions retreat!
Feng Yi looked in the direction where the wind was coming from.
"This hungry bully is definitely not me."
So, which one is cuter
In the silent night, Feng Yi's pupils narrowed and then dilated, and a smile slowly rose at the corners of his mouth.
