Seeing Feng Yi admitting his mistake with a good attitude, Steve no longer held on to the matter.
Professor Zhou said a few more words.
"To survive in a wild ecological forest, it takes more than just strength."
Professor Zhou was worried that Feng Yi might get hurt by the python, so he said seriously, "I emphasize again, if you really feel uncomfortable, you must speak up. Safety is the most important thing!"
Feng Yi nodded and said, "Yes! Don't worry, I know."
As he spoke, Feng Yi retracted his breath.
Just now, in order to make the python cooperate a little, he released his hidden aura. As he evolved, he became more and more proficient in this control.
Just like the old housekeeper said, snakes, whether small or big, are just pets or food to them.
As evolution continued, various parts of the body continued to mutate, and this repressive aura belonging to the higher levels of the food chain became more and more obvious, and also underwent a qualitative change.
If this was the aura that was emitted from the fishing grounds of Yueshan Farmhouse, the little green dragon would never have come looking for Feng Yi and might have avoided him from afar.
When Feng Yi withdrew his breath, the Burmese python visibly perked up and its struggles became more powerful.
Originally worried that its condition was not good, Professor Zhou had already connected to the base to check it. The results showed that the snake was very strong and healthy. Although it had some parasitic diseases, overall, it should be in very good condition and should not be so listless.
Now seeing that it is so strong, after the second inspection, I feel relieved.
"It has no drug reaction, and there is no suppuration in its mouth. Although I don't know why it was listless and powerless just now, it is in a very good condition now. For the rest, we have to wait for the results of the sampling test."
After the abnormal climate period, in order to protect endangered wild animals and establish the latest species gene bank of endangered animals, non-destructive sampling is generally used when encountering the target. If the target is a snake, snake skin, feces, etc. will also be selected for multiple analyses.
Just now when Feng Yi caught the python, it showed signs of defecation, so the excrement also needs to be sampled.
Feng Yi sat quietly beside them, watching Professor Zhou and his team examine the python's mouth, body surface, and cloaca...
It's quite stressful to watch.
After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Feng Yi simply turned around and stopped looking at that side. He took out a piece of compressed biscuit from his bag and gnawed it bit by bit like grinding his teeth.
Seeing that Professor Zhou was almost done with his work, Cheng Si stepped forward and asked, "Professor Zhou, do you think I can do another live broadcast now? It's not easy to encounter such a big python in the wild."
Professor Zhou thought for a moment, then asked Steve about the snake's current condition, and nodded, "Okay, but don't broadcast it for too long, we will release the snake back to the forest later."
"Then we can show everyone during the live broadcast that the scientific expedition team released the python safely back into the forest. This is also a positive guidance."
After obtaining consent, Cheng Si made some simple arrangements and started the live broadcast.
Just as he thought, catching such a big Burmese python in the wild was attractive and topical enough, and the number of online users soared in a short period of time.
The giant python in the camera is also shocking enough. It is completely different from the experience of going to the zoo.
So as soon as the live broadcast started, comments started flying.
Cheng Si looked at the comments and interacted with fans.
"Do I look more haggard? Hey, scientific research is very hard. Getting caught in the rain is common, taking samples under the scorching sun is also common, climbing rocks and walls, and there are all kinds of poisonous insects...
"… This~ python isn't big? Not as big as the one in the zoo? Oh, you can't compare it like that!"
Cheng Si explained what Steve had told them. It was quite rare to encounter a creature of this size in the wild!
Later, the online audience asked some more questions, some of which Cheng Si could not answer, so he turned the camera to Steve, and Steve continued the interaction.
"What should I do if I encounter a python in the wild? If I were in China, the pythons I encounter in the wild are basically Burmese pythons...
“It depends on the specific situation, depending on how big the monster you encounter is and whether it is hungry.
"For example, the one I caught now is over 5 meters long. If it were in the wild, it might indeed be aggressive towards people..."
Steve began to explain how to deal with different situations.
And what he just said, that a Burmese python of this length might attack humans, is also known by Professor Zhou and his colleagues.
So, when Feng Yi put the blame on the python, saying that the big python was aggressive towards him, no one doubted it.
After Steve finished speaking, he saw another question on the screen and smiled.
"Do something while it's swallowing? Yes, they swallow very slowly, but I think you're a little naive, and I have to tell you a cruel truth. In most cases, pythons that are big enough to attack humans will not make stupid mistakes. When they start to swallow, the prey they are entangled in is already beyond help, so they can swallow it slowly and at ease.
"One is to bite, two is to wrap, three is to swallow. First, bite the prey to give the body a support point, and then the second step is death coil. I don't need to explain the python's 'Death Coil' skill, you all know it, and the next step of death coil is to swallow. It will start to swallow the prey with confidence after wrapping it to the point where it is no longer a threat. Therefore, if you want to survive, your chances of survival only lie in the first two steps."
After thinking for a moment, Steve added, "Of course, they are too greedy and can't wait to swallow their prey, or they keep swallowing even though they have eaten a lot, and end up bursting their stomachs and dying. These things happen. But this can only be considered a mutual destruction, not an escape from the python's mouth."
Cheng Si continued, "Snakes give me the impression of being greedy, especially large snakes like pythons! The one that swallowed the crocodile and had its stomach burst by the crocodile must be the Burmese python, right?"
Steve nodded: "I've seen reports on this before."
Cheng Si: "So, some snakes are stupid and greedy, and their brains are full of muscles!"
Feng Yi, who was chewing a biscuit not far away, said: "…"
Although what he said has nothing to do with me, I always feel uncomfortable listening to it.
Steve didn't like what Cheng Si said: "That's just a small part. Many snakes are smart."
Then Steve started talking about "A Few Things About Me and Smart Snakes".
But he didn't have much time to speak, as Professor Zhou set a length for the live broadcast.
So Steve spoke briefly for a few minutes, satisfied his desire to talk, and then handed the live broadcast over to Cheng Si.
Cheng Si continued to interact with online viewers.
"Scary, right? Yes, I was also scared when I first saw it..."
I saw someone asking the snake catcher.
Cheng Si said: "It was definitely not me who caught him. It was an expert in the team. It wasn't Steve either, it was another awesome guy in the team!"
Cheng Si looked at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi waved his hand.
Cheng Si understood that Feng Yi didn't want to appear in the live broadcast.
"The master is busy and has no time to come and do the live broadcast..."
Cheng Si continued chatting with the online audience.
Feng Yi didn't want to sit here any longer. Professor Zhou and his team were going to the place where Feng Yi caught the snake to collect samples and see if they could find other signs of life. Feng Yi stood up and led the way for them.
When Feng Yi left, Cheng Si just turned the camera to Steve.
The snake just opened its mouth, and Steve said he wanted to tell everyone about the teeth of the Burmese python.
From this angle, Feng Yi appeared in the live broadcast screen for a short while, with just his back.
Cheng Si didn't care at first, but when he looked at the comments, he found someone said -
Although it was just a back view and the hat he wore was different, the guy just now gave me the feeling of Snake Brother! Didn’t someone guess that South 6 team invited Snake Brother over? The guy just now looked a bit like him! They were about the same height too!
Seeing this comment, Cheng Si's heart skipped a beat and a certain picture flashed through his mind.
However, it was a live broadcast now and he couldn't be distracted, so Cheng Si suppressed his thoughts for the time being.
After Steve finished talking about teeth, Cheng Si continued the conversation.
This time he found that there were a few more people who mentioned "Snake Brother". Maybe these people saw the previous comment, or maybe they made a guess from that short picture. Some people even left a message directly, asking if the person who caught the Burmese python was "Yueshan Snake Brother", but Cheng Si directly skipped these questions.
With an unchanged smile on his face, Cheng Si continued:
"Cobra? If we're lucky, we might encounter one on the later part of the route...
"KC? KC also depends on luck...
“The South 6 team planned this route to encounter more snakes, but it depends on luck as to what species they can encounter.
"But I think our team was pretty lucky! We even captured a photo of an alligator lizard!"
Cheng Si kept chatting until Professor Zhou and his team came back with samples.
The live broadcast ended with the release of the reticulated python back into the forest. At the end, Professor Zhou gave a few words to guide the correct release awareness.
Putting them in the right place is called releasing them, while putting them in the wrong place is called invasion or killing.
Before releasing the reticulated python, Feng Yi even touched its head.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Feng Yi felt relieved as he watched the reticulated python disappear into the forest.
The incident with the python is over, but next time you must not let it get away with it.
Give a relaxed smile and stretch.
"… elder brother?"
A voice came faintly from the side.
Feng Yi stretched halfway and shivered.
Look at Cheng Si who is coming over.
What are you yelling about!!
Who is your brother?!
Normally, Cheng Si never spoke like this, but he suddenly said it so affectionately that Feng Yi almost got goosebumps all over his body.
Cheng Si continued to stare at Feng Yi.
After the live broadcast ended, Cheng Si looked through the photo album on his phone. He had taken screenshots of several news reports about the Yueshan Little Green Dragon incident.
Brother Yueshan Snake is a legendary figure who has appeared in media news in many countries!
How many outdoor broadcasters envied the traffic of "Yueshan Snake Brother" at that time!
Just now, Cheng Si looked at his mobile phone, then looked at Feng Yi, and confirmed from Professor Zhou and others that Feng Yi indeed lived near Yueshan. Professor Zhou did not say more.
However, Professor Zhou's reaction only deepened Cheng Si's speculation.
Cheng Si: "Brother Snake? Brother Yueshan Snake?"
Feng Yi: “…”
My vest fell off again?!
"Idol!"
Cheng Si became more and more excited.
Seeing Feng Yi like this, Cheng Si knew that his guess was correct!
He grabbed Feng Yi's hand.
Feng Yi pulled hard but couldn’t pull it out.
"Brother! Are you accepting disciples?!" Cheng Si asked.
“No!”
Feng Yi thought to himself: I don’t even know how I caught the snake!
Accepting disciples would be misleading young people!
What a conscience!
