Steve was so shocked by Feng Yi's "godlike" operation that his soul almost flew away.
As the most poisonous land snake in China, the Bungarus multicinctus is timid and not very aggressive. It generally does not actively attack people, unlike some ferocious venomous snakes that chase people.
But the toxicity of the coral snake is too well-known!
Bounce and take a bite is no joke!
Besides the title of "No. 1 in China", the Bungarus serpentina is also known as "Old Vixen". It may not show any signs before attacking, and it will suddenly jump up and bite you when you are off guard.
So when Steve faced a coral reef snake, although it was easy to catch the snake, he also had to be on guard against it jumping up and biting him. Sometimes, grabbing the snake's tail would cause the coral reef snake to burrow into the grass.
At this moment, Steve was just thankful that the front part of the coral snake had already burrowed into the grass and did not immediately jump up and bite Feng Yi.
But this is also very dangerous!
Aren’t today’s young people particularly reckless!!!
The light from Steve's flashlight shone on Feng Yi. Cheng Si, who had just climbed up, heard the sound, looked up, and staggered, almost falling into the ditch.
Feng Yi!!
How dare you bite the tail of the number one in the country!!!
"Let go! Let go! Let go quickly!" Cheng Si roared.
Feng Yi…
Feng Yi put the phone back into his pocket, loosened his grip, and when he freed his hand he grabbed the snake's tail.
Steve walked over quickly, "Alright, leave the snake to me, you two go back quickly!"
Steve quickly caught the coral snake and examined it carefully. There were no obvious bite marks on the snake's tail.
"I didn't bite it, I just held it in my mouth." Feng Yi explained.
Steve waved his hand, "Go back first, we'll talk later!"
At the rest area, Professor Zhou and others also heard Steve and Cheng Si's yelling.
The few people who were originally organizing the information had no intention of reading it.
Professor Zhou also planned to contact the base to report today's progress, and now he is looking over there.
"What happened?"
"It should be fine. If something goes wrong, we'll send out a distress signal."
"Steve is over there. If the situation is serious, he will contact us immediately. It shows that nothing serious happened just now."
“They’re back!”
Sure enough, there was a flickering flashlight ahead.
After a while, they saw the three people coming back safe and sound, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
The coral snake was brought over by Steve.
"Hey, it's also a coral reef snake!" said Professor Zhu.
Teacher Lei turned on the camera in his hand. "It's not the same place as last year, but the time is about the same. It's not the same snake as last year. It seems that the number of coral snakes in this area has increased."
Seeing Steve's complicated expression, Feng Yi's honest look as if he had made a mistake, and Cheng Si's absent-minded look, Professor Zhou asked: "What happened just now?"
Steve: "As soon as I got there, I saw Feng Yi biting a snake!"
Feng Yi: "I didn't! I just controlled it with my mouth!
"I was very careful. I definitely didn't hurt anyone. I controlled my strength. It was just like a big cat grabbing a small cat. It looked brutal, but it actually didn't hurt anyone..."
"How can they be the same!" Professor Zhou interrupted with a serious face.
"Not to mention whether you hurt the snake or not, what if it bounces over and bites you?!"
Researcher Xie continued: “Not to mention whether it will bounce up and bite you, snakes also have bacteria and parasites, and wild animals are very dirty!
"Go rinse your mouth! Pay attention to your body these two days and see if there is anything wrong with your body. If you find anything wrong, contact the rescue team immediately! Don't force yourself to hold on!"
Feng Yi: "... Yes, I remember. I was wrong this time. I was in a hurry... It was my first time to hold a snake."
Seeing Feng Yi admitting his mistake with a good attitude, the expressions of several people eased a little.
"I'll say it again! Don't bite wild animals!" Professor Zhou looked at Feng Yi, "Tell me honestly, is this really the first time you've bitten a snake?"
"No bite."
This sounds like biting the snake to commit suicide.
Feng Yi continued, "I just grabbed it in a hurry. It was just like holding a rope with your hand. I didn't 'bite' it."
Feng Yi thought to himself: My two fangs are well-sheathed. If they really bite, the coral snake will be dead.
Feng Yi didn’t know whether the poison could be subdued, but the physical damage of those two large fangs was certain.”
"Is this really your first time catching a snake?!" Professor Zhou stared at Feng Yi.
"Really!" Feng Yi looked at him without blinking.
"Don't allow this anymore! This dangerous behavior is strictly prohibited!"
"Yes, I won't do that anymore. I don't know how I had the courage to hold its tail at that time. I was also very afraid of snakes before." Feng Yi said.
Others were like: Really? We don’t believe it!!!
Professor Zhou first asked Professor Zhu to observe the growth condition of the coral snake. If it was injured, he would give it treatment. If it was not injured, he would record its data in all aspects.
Then Professor Zhou called Feng Yi and Cheng Si over and asked about the specific situation at that time. As the leader, he must understand the whole process of the incident and will not just listen to Steve's statement.
Cheng Si finally came out of his wandering state.
"I... it was just a mistake. I was so happy after catching the snake that I was so excited that I didn't pay attention to my feet and slipped..."
Cheng Si narrated what happened at that time. When he looked at Feng Yi, it was as if he was looking at a magical species.
“… Then I heard Steve’s shout, and when I looked up I saw Feng Yi biting a snake!”
Feng Yi corrected: "Hold the snake! Hold it! Don't bite it!"
Cheng Si continued: "Whether it was biting or holding it, I was shocked at the time."
If Cheng Si hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there really were such reckless people in the world!
It's not intentional, it's not a show, but this subconscious reaction is the most terrifying!
This is really not something that ordinary people can do!
This incident truly refreshed Cheng Si’s understanding of Feng Yi.
What a tough character!
After patiently listening to Cheng Si and Feng Yi's stories, Professor Zhou already had an idea in his mind.
"Although the snakes in this scientific expedition are very important, the safety of people is more important! Also, you have to be patient when looking for snakes! Don't be impatient! Don't be impulsive!"
Knowing they were in the wrong, the two men accepted the scolding obediently.
After Professor Zhou gave the two a 5-minute scientific expedition safety course, he asked them to listen to Steve’s on-site teaching.
As the only two non-professionals in the team, Professor Zhou asked them to attend more professional courses.
Steve saw the two people coming over and said, "Next time you two see a snake, don't do it. Call me and I'll do it! If you guys get scared like this twice, I'll have a psychological trauma!"
Feng Yi apologized awkwardly. He really didn't mean to grab the snake's tail!
Steve didn't hold on to the matter and asked the two to come and listen to his lecture together.
Steve held the coral snake in his hand. "You see, the coral snake's head is not as obvious as the small green dragon's in a triangle shape. It can even be called a small round head among snakes. But in terms of toxicity, it is the most toxic land snake in China! We are not talking about the amount of toxicity here, we are only talking about the unit toxicity.
"They are typical neurotoxic snakes. Some people don't know Bungarus, and think that because it doesn't have a big triangular head like the small green dragon, it's not that venomous. Some snakes, you can't tell from their appearance or temperament, but they are actually very venomous!"
Feng Yi: “…That’s right!!”
