Feng Yi put aside the thoughts about comprehending life for now.
He held the bamboo pit viper in his hand, and Professor Zhou and his colleagues measured the vital signs and other data of the bamboo pit viper.
Steve stared at the pit viper with fascination: "White lips, burnt tail, this color and this body... Hey? Why does it look a little listless? Not as lively as the two pit vipers we caught before."
"Maybe he hasn't woken up yet."
Feng Yi silently retracted the breath that he had accidentally released when he was pondering and comprehending the problems of life.
Now he can hide his scent very well, otherwise how can he catch snakes? Those snakes, various reptiles, and animals in the forests would probably run away from a long distance after smelling the scent.
Steve didn't quite believe what Feng Yi said, but after a while, the green snake became visibly active again. If Feng Yi hadn't grabbed it, it would probably have attacked the men immediately.
Steve was relieved. "Maybe it really just woke up."
Looking at this bamboo green snake, Steve couldn't help but share with them "a few things about me and the little bamboo."
"The white-lipped pit viper is very poisonous. Although it's not so poisonous that it can kill you with one bite, a bite from it hurts a lot. It hurts so much that you'll scream for your parents and wish you could chop off the bitten part!
"I have a friend who was bitten by a white-lipped pit viper when he was catching snakes in the wild. The grown man cried in pain!"
Cheng Si silently moved away from the green snake.
After measuring the data and taking samples, Feng Yi put the green pit viper back on the tree.
The team continued to move forward.
"We gained a lot from going into the mountains this time, much more than their scientific expedition team did last year!" said Teacher Lei, who was holding a camera.
Last year, Mr. Lei also went into the mountains with the team to film, so he was very familiar with the situation last year. This year, we followed Professor Zhou's team into the mountains and caught so many snakes, not just because we changed the route.
Teacher Lei looked at Feng Yi. This kid was too sensitive to snakes. Just like the bamboo green snake just now, it was so well hidden in the tree that no one in the team noticed it, but this kid saw it right away.
It really is true that you can’t judge a book by its cover!
1000 points are worth it!
Professor Zhou and his colleagues felt the same way. Captain Yuan of the Joint Security Bureau had not recommended the wrong person. If it weren't for Captain Yuan's recommendation, who would have thought that there was such a talent
It’s the fourth week that the team has entered the mountains.
The other members of the team became two shades darker again, and Feng Yi finally became a little darker, but this was only compared to his previous appearance. If compared to the other members of the team, he was simply glowing white!
Cheng Si no longer had the energy to envy, hate, and hate. He could only participate in an activity of this nature once, and he definitely wouldn't want to participate a second time. Even if he did, it would definitely not be an expedition that took him one or two months deep in the mountains.
Look at Feng Yi again. Although he is a little thinner and darker, he is still energetic and seems to have endless energy all day long.
Now Professor Zhou was relieved to let Feng Yi walk around in the forest by himself. First, Feng Yi had already proven his ability to survive in the wild forest, and second, Feng Yi was sensitive to snakes, so he might be able to find snakes and other reptiles that they hadn't noticed.
The harvest was quite good, and the number of snakes caught was much more than last year. It can be said that no other scientific expedition team has caught more snakes than them in the past 10 years. If the data were printed out, it would be twice as thick as the data of other teams!
The team was also lucky enough to capture a photo of an alligator lizard lazily basking in the sun.
Feng Yi was the first to discover the living fossil-level crocodile lizard. Professor Zhou was so excited that he made five consecutive calls to the base.
The scientific expedition team had very little information about crocodile lizards. After the abnormal climate period, many scientific expedition teams had not discovered any crocodile lizards. This time, Feng Yi discovered it when he was strolling nearby while the team was resting.
The discovery of the crocodile lizard also allowed Feng Yi to gain more "free" time. During this time, he could find something to eat in the mountains and forests. If he had not looked for other food, he would not have lost so much weight by now. He would probably have become unrecognizable by now!
It's another foggy day.
The visibility was too poor and the team did not set out.
“I heard that the base once used a drone to go into the mountains to shoot on a foggy day, and they almost didn’t make it back,” said Teacher Lei.
"Fog in the mountains still has a great impact." Professor Zhou decided to let everyone take more rest during the foggy day.
"In two hours or so, they will probably be mostly gone," Feng Yi said.
"Well, I hope so." Professor Zhou said.
During this period of time, Feng Yi not only proved his ability to catch snakes, but also proved to everyone his ability to read the weather.
Sure enough, two hours later, the fog dissipated and the sun shone through.
In my ears, the sound of birds singing was replaced by the constant chirping of cicadas.
The animals hide in the dense forests, and their voices can only be heard but not seen. If you want to know more about the animals in the mountains, you still need to rely on technology. Hidden cameras can always record the traces of some rare animals.
"The abundant rainfall and humid environment allow the plants here to grow luxuriantly. Oh, look at the shapes of the rocks on the mountain walls; those are the traces left by rain hitting the rocks." Professor Zhou said, pointing to a mountain wall.
If you can’t see the result in one year, then you’ll have to wait for ten, a hundred, or a thousand years.
As for tens of millions of years... tens of millions of years ago, this place might have been an ocean.
Researcher Xie took a water sample and said: "The stream water here is really clean."
Professor Zhu looked at the forest where the fog had dissipated and said with emotion, "It is said that the life of water lies in the mountain, the life of the mountain lies in the soil, and the life of the soil lies in the wood. Mountains, water, soil and wood are a community of life. It is indeed true."
Researcher Xie: “Humans and nature are also a community of life.”
Professor Zhou said, "Didn't the ancients have the concept of 'human and natural life community' long ago? 'When the grass and trees are flourishing and growing, axes and saws are not used in the mountains and forests, so as not to kill them and stop their growth; when turtles, fish, turtles, loaches and eels are pregnant, nets and poisons are not used in the marshes, so as not to kill them and stop their growth.'"
Professor Zhu continued: "There is also 'Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.' I think this also has this meaning."
Feng Yi: "... I'll go take a look around."
He didn't want to listen to Professor Zhou and Professor Zhu's "discussion".
This was not the first time Feng Yi wanted to "take a walk around the neighborhood", so Professor Zhou emphasized a few old sayings related to safety and agreed.
Cheng Si didn't follow him anymore. He could see that Feng Yi just wanted to wander around by himself. Every time he wandered around, he would always gain something, either edible wild fruits or discovering reptiles.
Moreover, Feng Yi is like having a compass in his brain. Even on a foggy day without the sun, he can identify directions quite accurately, so there is no need to worry about Feng Yi getting lost.
Feng Yi walked in the woods and gradually could no longer hear the voices of Professor Zhou and the others.
He could feel the harmony and vitality in the mountains and forests.
The mountains are the backbone and the water is the vein, supporting the entire ecosystem here. Thousands of plant species grow and thrive here.
When the sun comes out, the plants begin another day of competition. Even a small blade of grass on the ground participates in this competition for survival.
If you look closely at the details of the mountains and forests, you will see that competition is everywhere and the fighting is even fierce.
The decaying branches and leaves gradually turn into nutrients and become energy supplies for other plants.
There are also new competitors breaking out of the ground to compete for sunlight and soil.
Take a deep breath.
There is the fishy smell of mud, the fragrance of flowers, the odor of slowly rotting dead leaves, and all kinds of hidden information that cannot be captured by the naked eye.
The mountains and forests, with moisture dissipated, usher in the hottest hours of the day.
The chirping of insects weakened and the entire forest gradually became quiet.
The sun shines through the gaps in the woods, casting beams of light.
In the distance, there are air currents churning over the mountain ridges, perhaps brewing the next fog or rain.
The ever-changing climate is also the rhythm of the mountains themselves. Intruders or other foreign creatures may not be able to adapt, but every living thing that grows here, even ants that seem tiny to humans, have long been accustomed to the rhythm here.
"The temperature is just right, the humidity is just right. It's really nice to be out at this time! Don't you think so?"
Feng Yi looked at the bushes on one side.
The pupil in the eye quickly narrowed into a slit.
In the perceptual world where thermal induction and super-sensitive smell are superimposed, even what is under the bushes can be clearly seen.
Feng Yi grinned.
Two long teeth popped out restlessly.
Those eyes with narrow pupils looked cold and ruthless.
…
Steve was bored and was photographing insects near the team's rest point.
While I was filming, I suddenly heard a shout:
"Ste—ve!"
Recognizing Feng Yi's voice, Steve didn't care about anything else and ran towards Feng Yi.
But he didn't run far before his steps became unsteady and he almost tripped over himself.
Steve stared ahead, his heart rate rising, his blood pressure soaring.
Feng Yi ran towards this side holding a huge python.
If we convert that python into a human, rounding up -
It's like Feng Yi is running towards him with a 1.8-meter-tall man struggling hard in his arms!
As for Feng Yi, he held the snake and ran towards Steve for a distance. Then he realized that his character was a bit ruined this time. He shouldn't be able to run while holding a giant python.
So Feng Yi pulled the snake off his body and threw it to the ground, pinching the snake, holding one end of it with his other hand, and continued to run towards Steve.
"Steve! Look, there's a big cutie over here!"
Steve was terrified and worried that Feng Yi might be strangled: "..."
