On the way back, Feng Yi was in a good mood. He would tease the small animals he met along the way, and of course help those poor little creatures troubled by marine debris.
The weather was good along the way, without strong winds or waves.
At dawn, Feng Yi also encountered a yacht with several people fishing.
From what I heard from them, they had gone out yesterday and fished all night. The others on the boat were talking about their results, but one person didn't join in the conversation. He was watching over his fishing rod, saying, "I watched all night and only caught a few pieces of marine debris! I don't believe we won't catch any fish today!"
Looking at the reaction of the nearby fish, Feng Yi felt that this guy would most likely go back crying.
After observing quietly for a while and unable to bear it any longer, Feng Yi hung a fish on his hook.
I didn't stay there to see their reactions. I swam quite a distance away and could still hear the man on the boat screaming with joy.
That person really thought he caught it himself!
Feng Yi turned over in the water, swam lying down, and watched the changes in the water scenery when the sun rose over the sea.
With this relaxed mentality of traveling, the return journey took a little longer than the departure time.
On Feng Yi's private island, the first person to discover Feng Yi's return was Xiao Xin who was patrolling the island.
Xiao Xin didn't see Feng Yi at first sight.
The marine iguana, which was originally lying on the reef to bask in the sun, hurriedly crawled towards the island in the opposite direction of the sea.
There were also marine iguanas that were originally foraging in the water, now crawling onto the shore in panic.
These little animals, which are usually well-behaved and live in a remote corner, suddenly behaved so abnormally that Xiao Xin noticed it at once. He thought someone had illegally broken into this private territory.
Or perhaps other marine animals appear that pose a threat to the marine iguanas.
The island’s intelligent defense system did not issue a warning, but Xiao Xin remained alert. He sent a warning message to his friends and rushed over with a gun.
Then I saw...
Behind a slightly larger rock, Feng Yi sat on the reef, holding a marine iguana in his hand and giving it a full body SPA.
Xiao Xin stood there in a daze.
The picture is so beautiful and harmonious that I can't bear to disturb it.
But in fact…
Although the marine iguana caught by Feng Yi did not enter a state of suspended animation, it was so stiff that it did not struggle at all.
That fierce and ferocious face seemed to have a hint of collapse at this moment.
Sharp claws and raised horn spines are of no help.
The naturally curved lip line looks like a helpless bitter smile.
Knowing that Xiao Xin was coming, Feng Yi glanced at him and said:
"I caught one at random and gave it a full-body checkup. It was in good health, but its body shape... looked a little too round."
Oh, such a familiar roundness.
It looks so fat and beautiful. Fortunately, there are no curious cats and dogs on the island, and no hunting falcons in the sky.
When Feng Yi came back, he had no intention of landing on the reef beach. However, as he got closer and closer to the island and sensed the presence of the marine iguanas, he suddenly remembered the giant beast Serpan that he had found in the rain forest.
The main reason why Serpan was able to grow so big was due to the help of a certain member of the tribe.
After so many years, there is still a faint energy reaction in Serpan's remains. Feng Yi can roughly guess how active the energy reaction in its body was when it was alive.
In this era, the animals that have undergone obvious changes in size due to Feng Yi include the koi in the landscape pond in the house next to Cui Lake, the python "Little Koi" adopted by Yangcheng Zoo, and the marine iguanas that accidentally settled on the island.
Just now, while Feng Yi was checking their health conditions, he was also checking the energy reactions in their bodies.
It's not so bad. Its strength is about the same as the fat fish in my home pond. It won't grow to a scary size.
Neither these marine iguanas nor the fish in the home's landscape pond have ever experienced being flooded with vitality factors by Feng Yi.
The only one who had this experience was the little python in the zoo.
Oh no, it’s not small now, it’s over two meters tall!
She is no longer the cutie that can be wrapped around your finger.
It is much stronger than other small pythons that hatch at the same time, and has the potential to grow into a giant.
Well, I’ll go to the zoo and take a closer look when I get back to Yangcheng.
Feng Yi put the marine iguana in his hand back into the sea and washed his hands with sea water.
Xiaojia and his friends also came after receiving the news.
Feng Yi took the bathrobe handed to him by Xiao Jia, put it on, and walked towards the island.
Xiao Wu raised his hand and adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked, "How do you feel this time?"
Feng Yi: "Very good! Overall, it was very helpful! I also felt a magnificent shock!"
The molting went smoothly, and we were quite satisfied with our initial discussions with the Butterfly Project team. We also got the answers to our most pressing questions.
Xiao Wu's eyebrows raised slightly.
Looking at Feng Yi’s excitement, you can tell that it must have collided with a certain plan, and he didn’t suffer any loss.
Although he looked a little weak, he was in good spirits.
Xiao Wu said, "Let's go get checked first."
Feng Yi nodded: "Let's do a simple check first, and the rest will be decided after I have a meal. I'm hungry."
"Okay. Xiao Bing is already preparing."
Xiao Wu said this and looked at Feng Yi again.
He wasn't noticeably thinner before he set out, but now Feng Yi looks like he has definitely lost some weight.
Xiao Wu was also very curious about Feng Yi's experience on this trip. If possible, he really wanted to go with him, even if it was just watching from a distance.
He was interested in the meteorological weapons, but not very keenly. What he wanted to know more was the changes in Feng Yi himself during the confrontation:
How hard are the muscles working? How is the heat produced
How much does the breathing rate and the amount of oxygen carried by the blood change
Are there large fluctuations in brain utilization
What kind of magical properties occur in the signal transduction pathways within cells
And, when facing a threat, does the venom change in quality or quantity
So many curious questions.
However, he was a mortal with mortal eyes, and even if Feng Yi was willing to keep him by his side to watch, he would not be able to stay there safely.
After returning to his own territory and replenishing food, Feng Yi first did a physical examination and then took venom. Every time the venom was taken after molting, it had to be sent to the laboratory of the ancestral factory as soon as possible, perhaps there would be some new discoveries.
After staying on the island for two more days and overcoming the weak period, Feng Yi returned home with Xiao Jia and the others.
Xiao Xin continues to stay on the island, and the construction workers will soon come back to continue the remaining renovation work.
Return to Yangcheng.
The moment the butler saw Feng Yi, his eyes suddenly became moist and he almost couldn't control his tears from flowing down.
He didn't even say "I've lost weight" like he did before. He just picked up his phone, his expression became serious, and I don't know what message he sent out.
Half an hour later, two cold chain transport trucks delivered the goods to the door.
Feng Yi: “…”
Not really, really!
One car is enough, why two?! How can I eat that?!
The second one can be delivered in two days.
However, the butler's deep and heavy love is quite fragrant.
I could smell it from a long distance away.
Xiao Bing and the others were moving things into the cold storage downstairs. Feng Yi went upstairs to tidy up a bit and checked the messages on his phone.
Director He left him a letter, asking him to go to Beijing for a meeting after returning home. There were still many questions about the giant beast Serpan that Feng Yi needed to discuss in person.
Steve was still at the Tropical Research Center on the other side of the ocean, addicted to "beauty" and unable to extricate himself, and was not willing to return home at this time.
Therefore, Feng Yi went to Beijing alone for the meeting this time.
He was not afraid of going to meetings. When he decided to bring the giant beast Serpan back to the light of day, he had already figured out how to write... ahem, how to report it.
After checking the time, Feng Yi called Director He directly.
The call was connected quickly.
"Are you back already?" Director He just flew back from the other side of the ocean yesterday. Knowing that Feng Yi was still on vacation, he just left a message.
At that time, because of the hot search, Feng Yi used the excuse of taking a vacation to get some quiet time. Director He thought that Feng Yi was on vacation these days.
"I just got back today and I'm a little tired. According to the message you left, the meeting is next week? I can rest at home for a few days and adjust my condition."
I talked with Director He about the progress of the restoration work on the giant beast Serpan. It cannot be completed in a short time, but the complete computer model built based on the remains has passed the review of the expert group.
In other words, we can start making the model of the behemoth Serpan!
Upon learning that reptile research institutes and large natural history museums in various countries have begun placing orders for customized scale models, Feng Yi also took this opportunity to order one.
Not everyone can place this order, but Feng Yi, as the discoverer of the giant beast Serpan, has a special status and can enjoy this privilege, and his orders are ranked first.
The body of the giant beast Serpan needs to be placed in its native place, but Feng Yi must collect a set of the model and put it in his own collection.
Perhaps, in terms of materials, the model ordered this time is not as good as the ones he customized at a high price in the past. But in terms of structural rigor, professionalism is professionalism, and Feng Yi still has great confidence in the ability of the expert team.
Director He was busy with his work, so the call did not last long.
"Okay, that's it. You should rest for a few days, adjust to the time difference, handle the work at hand well, and come to Beijing on time for the meeting next week." Director He said.
"Okay, see you next week."
After the call ended, Feng Yi was suddenly stunned.
Realize it later.
Why
What did Lao He just say
The work at hand
What job
Ah yes! An expedition in the rainforest!
Feng Yi remembered.
He went to the rainforest on the other side of the ocean not to look for giant beasts, but just to investigate and shoot more footage. The discovery of the giant beast Serpan was just a surprise during the investigation.
Now the surprise is over and the real work is ahead.
Director He just gave a reminder on the phone because many people who could not get involved in the affairs of the giant beast Serpan turned their attention back to Feng Yi's investigation report and filming materials.
Director He's last words were to remind Feng Yi to complete all these tasks before going to the meeting.
Report + material arrangement + meeting preparation
Feng Yi stood there holding the phone.
I suddenly felt heavy.
