Feng Yi’s enthusiasm is fully aroused!
Changing from his previous quiet and silent attitude, Feng Yi took the initiative to ask:
"Professor Zhou, the competition you mentioned starts now?"
Seeing that Feng Yi was the first to speak, Professor Zhou was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood that Feng Yi had participated in the scientific expedition of South Team 6 just for the 1,000 points, and they also took a fancy to Feng Yi's sensitivity to snakes and his method of catching snakes.
So Professor Zhou is also looking forward to seeing how sensitive Feng Yi is to snakes, and whether he can be the first to discover a snake
"Yes! From now on!" Professor Zhou said with a smile.
Professor Zhu next to him glanced at his watch and said, "I don't know how long it will take to achieve a good start this time. Professor Lei, how long did it take them to find the first snake in the mountains last year?"
Mr. Lei, who was carrying a special camera, thought about it and said, "About 8 hours."
"Almost." Professor Zhou nodded. "The number of snakes in the Nanchong Nature Reserve has already decreased a lot after the abnormal climate period. There may be some recovery in the deep mountains, but there are still very few in the marginal areas. A comprehensive research base has been established, and there are too many traces of human activities on the marginal areas."
"The first thing they discovered last year was the coral reef snake," Professor Zhu recalled.
"Yes, the coral reef snake. Last year, we didn't set out until noon because of a problem with the camera. We found the coral reef snake by a ditch at night, and everyone was very happy at that time." Teacher Lei said.
Others were still discussing what happened last year and how the first snake was discovered.
Feng Yi started putting on gloves.
Cheng Si noticed it. He was quick-witted, good at reading people's expressions, and would never underestimate anyone in the team.
From the looks of it, Feng Yi certainly doesn't look like someone who is cut out for this. His past experiences, such as filming web dramas, have nothing to do with scientific research!
but!
To be accepted by South 6 Team, he must have something outstanding!
"You haven't discovered it yet, have you?!" Cheng Si said.
Upon hearing this, the others also looked at Feng Yi.
Professor Zhou looked at Steve again.
Steve shrugged and made a helpless expression. He hadn't noticed any snake nearby.
This place is still on the outer edge of the Nanchong Nature Reserve, where people often walk around, so the possibility of spotting snakes is low.
“Maybe there’s some cute little thing hidden somewhere that no one has discovered yet!” said Steve.
Cheng Si did not comment on what Steven called "little cutie".
In Steve's eyes, a three-meter-long king cobra is also considered cute.
When the news about Xiao Qinglong came out, Steve posted a video on his social media platform. It was a video he recorded when he went to Yueshan to see Xiao Qinglong.
In the video, Steve was leaning against the glass partition to look at the snake inside. His eyes looked like a pervert and he kept saying things like "Wow, it's so beautiful! So charming" and so on.
God knows how Steve found something fascinating in that menacing-looking snake!
When Cheng Si saw the high-definition close-up photo of Xiao Qinglong for the first time, he almost threw the phone in his hand away!
However, Cheng Si didn't know that Feng Yi was the "Yueshan Snake Brother" who caught the little green dragon.
In order to protect Feng Yi's privacy, the Joint Security Bureau did not disclose the fact that "Yueshan Snake Brother" was Feng Yi.
As for the scientific expedition team of Nanchong Nature Reserve, apart from the people in charge of the review, only Professor Zhou and Professor Zhu knew Feng Yi's background.
Therefore, Cheng Si’s first impression of Feng Yi was: an unpopular online drama actor.
At this moment, under the gaze of eight pairs of eyes.
Feng Yi said: "I'll give it a try."
As he spoke, he walked a few steps to the side, lifted up a stone slab on the ground, and then picked up a "little worm" that looked like an earthworm from the soil under the slab.
Feng Yi: "Found a 'cute'."
Cheng Si looked at Feng Yi, then at the earthworm-like worm in his hand.
"Is this a snake?" Cheng Si asked.
Professor Zhu laughed out loud.
"It's a snake!"
"The one in his hand is a hooked blind snake. I heard that it was often seen in Nanchong a long time ago. You might see one when turning the soil in the fields. The number has dropped drastically after the abnormal climate period, and we don't know how it is now. Finding one here is also an important data, write it down!" said Professor Zhu.
When talking about snakes, few people would think of blind snakes, especially small ones like the hooked blind snake. This thing really doesn't look like a snake at all, and it doesn't have the appearance that a snake should have!
It is non-toxic, small in size, and its attack power to humans is negligible.
Some people even stepped on a snake to death without realizing they had stepped on it!
At this time, the hooked blind snake, which was only about ten centimeters long, that Feng Yi turned out from under the stone slab was wrapped around Feng Yi's fingers, with its head raised and its tongue slightly sticking out.
Cheng Si could now see the obvious difference. With the help of the high-definition camera's magnification and slow-motion images, he could clearly see the "mini snake" spitting out its tongue.
"Oh my god! There are such snakes?!"
While exclaiming in amazement, he quickly pressed the camera to take pictures.
"From this perspective, their bodies are a bit purple, dark purple, their abdomens are gray-purple, and their scales reflect light, looking shiny. They also have no links, which is completely different from earthworms. They don't have necks... Are those two little dots on their heads their eyes?"
"It's an eye." Steve came over, "Oh my god! It's so cute! It's wrapped around your finger like that! All the blind snakes I caught tried desperately to escape!"
Teacher Lei, who was holding a camera, also came over to film. This was so easy to film!
You don't have to worry about blind snakes twisting their bodies and escaping, nor do you have to worry about hurting them when catching them. You can also adjust the shooting angle to take the most satisfactory photos.
"How did you find there was a blind snake under this stone?" Cheng Si looked at Feng Yi.
"I guessed it." Feng Yi said.
Cheng Si: I don’t believe you!
Others were also skeptical.
Feng Yi continued, "I'm just trying my luck. Yesterday I heard someone say that they found ant eggs under a rock. Blind snakes eat ants and ant eggs, so I thought I'd give it a try to see if there are any under there."
Professor Zhou nodded, it was indeed possible.
But they didn't expect Feng Yi to actually find a blind snake here.
Cheng Si was not too obsessed with the three points, but he was very interested in the blind snake.
Following Feng Yi's example, he went over to lift up some similar stone slabs or stones, but after turning over several stones, he still didn't find anything.
Steve couldn't help but remind him: "If the rocks and sand are packed too tightly, don't waste your time. If there are gaps, you can take a look. You may even find some larger snakes."
Cheng Si thought to himself: I don’t want a slightly larger snake, I just want to find a blind snake that is non-venomous and non-aggressive.
Researcher Xie, who had been silent all this time, spoke up at this time: "This... the game just started and it's over?"
Researcher Xie thought: He just earned one of my points so easily
Professor Zhou also laughed. He really didn't expect Feng Yi to be able to catch a blind snake on the spot.
He really caught him as he said!
It turns out that the sensitivity of this pair of snakes is unmatched by anyone else!
I've never seen anyone so accurate in flipping the stone slab!
Feng Yi raised his hand and pointed the little blind snake wrapped around his finger at Professor Zhou, "Do you think mine counts?"
"Calculate!"
Professor Zhou took out his notebook and wrote it down, "A gentleman's word is three-tenths. Write it down first and I'll apply for it to be transferred to you when I get back."
"It seems that the number of blind snakes has increased. This is good news." Teacher Lei took pictures and used a camera to record the surrounding environment and terrain.
"I don't know if there are many other snakes in the Nanchong Nature Reserve. I'm afraid that we won't find many snakes in two months. The data is not enough." Teacher Zhou said and looked at Feng Yi, "Xiaofeng, if we don't see any snakes later, can you still find them?"
Researcher Xie immediately sounded a warning in his heart, and stared at Professor Zhou with a face full of bitterness and hatred: Don’t even think about deducting another point from me!
Professor Zhou ignored him and continued to smile and said to Feng Yi: "But the three points are gone, how about one point per line?"
Feng Yi heard this and said, "You're joking. Let's just treat the first three points as a game to have fun and liven up the atmosphere. For the rest, just tell me where you need to catch a snake and I'll catch it for you! I don't have any other skills, except catching a 'little cutie'!"
With a reward of 1,000 points, catching snakes is his job after joining the team. He is not an ungrateful and greedy person, and he has to know his limits when earning points.
Moreover…
If he went to catch the snake himself, he could secretly eat something in the process, such as fruits from the forest.
Even if you don’t know the type of fruit, you can tell if it’s edible by just smelling it. This is an ability that comes with evolution.
The team stopped for a moment and collected enough information. Feng Yi then released the little blind snake back to its original place and covered the stone slab back.
Even though the blind snake is a little small, at least it’s a good start, right
It's so red and sparkling, so red that it almost looks purple!
