Have you ever caught a python
without.
Do you think you can catch it alone
I don't think so.
Hey, neither can I. If you really find a python, call me and I will catch it with you!
OK!
This conversation was still flashing in Steve's mind.
You think not
You think you can't do shit!!!
Watching Feng Yi dragging the python over, Steve had so many words in his mind that he didn't know how to express them.
Yell, yell, yell! You’ve already caught everything, what the hell are you asking me to do
We agreed to catch the python together if we found it!
After confirming that Feng Yi was fine, Steve began to think—
Such a big and beautiful Burmese python, but no one participated in catching it!
It was Feng Yi who discovered it again!
Steve regretted that he must have missed a lot of important clues along the way, such as crawling traces, shed skin, etc.
The main reason is that the climate has changed too quickly in the past few days, catching people off guard. Professor Zhou always says that there are no released pythons nearby, so some important clues have been overlooked!
well!
If I had paid more attention when observing my surroundings, I wouldn't be just watching Feng Yi catch the snake!
Another thing that hit Steve hard was that Feng Yi's technique in catching the snake and the strength he used to drag the snake over were beyond his reach.
There is a skill to catching a python. If you don't hold it in the right position, it can turn around and bite you.
So looking at the appearance of this snake, you can tell that Feng Yi was very accurate.
I originally thought that I was the best at catching snakes in this team, but now I have to admit that except for theoretical knowledge and experience, I am really outdone in other aspects!
I’m really old!
Over there, Cheng Si, who heard the noise, also came over.
"Fuck! There really is a giant python! Mr. Lei—"
Cheng Si quickly called Teacher Lei to come over and take the photo. He himself did not stop working, but turned on the camera and started filming.
Feng Yi no longer moved the python at this time. He just grabbed the snake and pressed it to the ground to prevent it from running away.
He was still gasping for breath, looking extremely tired, and sweating.
"It's really not easy! We can actually see a giant python here! Feng Yi, did you catch it with Steve?" Cheng Si asked.
Steve looked frustrated: "Feng Yi caught it alone."
"Oh my god?!" Cheng Si looked incredulous. He looked at Feng Yi, then at the python that was pinned to the ground, and then at Steve.
Seeing Steve nod, Cheng Si exclaimed again: "Oh my god! Feng Yi, you are so awesome!"
"You're working too hard!" Cheng Si patted Feng Yi on the shoulder. "Look at the sweat on your face. I've never seen you sweat so much even when I was climbing a mountain with a big bag under the sun before!"
"Yeah! It's not easy!" Feng Yi forced a smile. He couldn't tell them that he was sweating because he was scared. He was exposed just now, and his character was badly ruined.
Feng Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead and thought about how to make this matter go smoothly.
Professor Zhou and his team came over with Teacher Lei, and were very excited to see the giant python that Feng Yi had caught. But when they learned that Feng Yi had caught it alone, their expressions became a little strange.
Steve: "I was almost scared when I looked over when I heard the kid's cry. There was such a big snake wrapped around him. We all know reptiles and know how powerful such a big python is."
Steve remembers it very clearly. Once when he was participating in a scientific expedition abroad, he wanted to try to fight a Burmese python that was more than four meters long, but he was strangled so hard that he couldn't stand it. Even after catching the snake and walking with it, he staggered and it was extremely difficult. It was impossible for him to run!
He was trying so hard to grab the python and pull it off his body, and he almost lost it!
The Burmese python in front of him was bigger and longer than the one he encountered before. If it were Steve, even if he could catch it, it would definitely not be as easy as Feng Yi. Especially when Feng Yi easily pulled the snake off his body, Steve almost doubted his own eyes!
Professor Zhou and others stared at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi said, "I was shocked at the time. I was just strolling around and it was in the bushes nearby, and it was in an attacking posture. I was so anxious that I grabbed the snake and ran back to ask Steve for help."
Steve: “…”
"Even if you are very strong, you can't run wildly while holding such a big python!" said Professor Zhou.
"It exploded, but it could only last for a short while. The python was too heavy for me to carry, so I threw it to the ground halfway and changed its position. My muscles still hurt all over my body, and my arms are almost broken." Feng Yi shook his hands.
Steve: “…”
Steve went over and pinched the muscles on Feng Yi's arm.
"I didn't realize you had such strong muscles!"
Feng Yi: "Of course not. I used to do strength training regularly. After I followed the team into the mountains, I have been exercising. Although it cannot be seen, I am definitely strong and sturdy!"
Steve: "If you can just hold the heroine in your arms when you're filming... No, you can even just run with the hero on your shoulders, without having to use the wrong angles or props."
After thinking for a while, Steve asked, "Do you want to develop in that field? I also know some people in the entertainment industry."
Feng Yi shook his head: "I filmed a web drama, but I'm not interested in it now."
Steve didn't ask any more questions. He just thought that with such a face and such a good body, it would be a pity if she didn't enter the entertainment industry. He had a friend who opened an entertainment company, and they were in great need of such talents.
But Steve also learned from Professor Zhou and others that Feng Yi was not short of money. If he had no interest in singing and acting, there was really no need for him to enter the entertainment industry. It was also good to follow the scientific expedition team from time to time... but it always made people's blood pressure soar.
Moreover, Feng Yi had a history of dragging Ou You late at night, so the explanation of a short-term outburst was not impossible.
"I won't talk about running away with the python in your arms, as people have different physiques. But! How did you manage to pull it off your body so easily?"
As he spoke, he wrapped the snake's body around himself and clearly felt the squeezing sensation of the python strangling its prey.
Of course, Steve only dared to do this experiment because there were other people around to hold the snake down. Otherwise, he would never want to be entangled by a python like this, as there was a risk of being strangled. Liking snakes does not mean being willing to be killed by them.
Steve felt it.
Although it is far from the strangling force it uses when it is really hunting, it is definitely not enough to be easily pulled apart after entangled!
Feng Yi: "...It is in a bad mental state and has no strength."
As Feng Yi spoke, he stared at the snake.
Everyone present suddenly felt a chill around them, as if a gust of cold wind had suddenly blown past.
But the weather in the mountains is unpredictable, so it’s not too strange.
Continue to focus on the snake.
"Nonsense! I've never caught a python before..."
Steve didn't believe it, and reached out and pulled hard.
The part of the snake that was wrapped around his body was pulled off the ground limply.
Steve: “…”
The others looked at Steve.
Steve looked at his hands: "...really... I didn't use much strength!"
Feng Yi became excited: "I told you, it's not in a good mental state."
Professor Zhou frowned, "It seems a little bit."
When they heard that the snake might be sick, everyone shifted their attention away from Feng Yi.
Professor Zhou and several other colleagues conducted a physical examination on the animal and also connected to the base for online guidance.
Feng Yi handed the snake to Steve, turned around and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
I was so excited just now that my brain couldn't keep up. I was so scared that my back was sweating.
When Professor Zhou contacted the base, he also received a copy of the latest signal distribution map. There was indeed no such snake.
"This is not a released animal. It is very likely that it was born and bred in the mountains," said Professor Zhou.
Cheng Si took a closer look and said, "I estimate it to be about 5 meters long. It is only of average size, not huge. The Burmese pythons in the zoo are even bigger and have a stronger visual impact."
Steve laughed, "In the wild, Burmese pythons over 5 meters are already very big. This one looks very strong and much heavier than the ones I encountered before. There is no shortage of food in this mountain. But no matter how much the wild ones eat, their weight will not be as exaggerated as those in the zoo. Nowadays, those raised in captivity are like feeding pigs, competing to see who can be fatter and heavier! They are not the top in size, but they weigh over 100kg at any time."
Steve prefers wild snakes. It's better to watch pigs than to watch those artificially bred ones trying hard to break records.
"The Burmese python is not as heavy as the anaconda in terms of weight, nor as long as the reticulated python. Although the anaconda and the reticulated python are quite scary, their wild habitats do not include my country. Those that are artificially bred or have escaped do not count.
"The Burmese python has long been a protected species in our country, but it once invaded a swamp in a certain country and ate its way through it, so it had to be hunted manually.
“Later, the abnormal climate periods were almost gone.
"Purely cold-blooded animals like snakes and lizards don't have to eat constantly to ensure their metabolism is not interrupted, unlike warm-blooded animals. They may eat for a long time at a time, which can minimize the daily energy requirements. Of course, this also has a price, and they are more restricted by the environment and climate.
"So during the 20 years of abnormal climate change, a large number of cold-blooded animals died out.
"Think about it, even if humans encounter a sudden turn of weather, if they don't take any effective countermeasures, they are likely to get sick. If it's a cold-blooded animal that is sensitive to the ambient temperature, it would be even worse."
Cheng Si asked: "So, the large individuals that can be found now may only be found in zoos or other artificial breeding places? Do they exist in nature?"
Steve replied, "They definitely exist, but their numbers are smaller and harder to find. Also, the individuals that successfully survived the climate anomaly in the wild are stronger, and their offspring are likely to be stronger as well. Be careful when you encounter them in the wild in the future!"
Seeing Feng Yi looking at this side, Steve couldn't help but said, "Don't be so reckless next time. Even if you are strong, even if it is in a bad mental state, don't take chances!
"Also, such a short burst of force is very damaging to your muscles. Luckily it was just a Burmese python. If it was a fat one like an anaconda, I don't think you would be able to hold it! One of the same length would have been able to crush you to the ground!"
Feng Yi knew Steve meant well, so he listened to his lecture and said, "Yes, I remember."
