Although Professor Zhou and his colleagues were in a state of panic, it was not appropriate to lose their temper at this time.
Taking a deep breath, Professor Zhou lowered his voice and asked Steve beside him, "What is he doing?"
Steve's expression was subtle. "He might be... dancing with snakes."
Professor Zhou rubbed his brows and said, "I see! I just don't know why he dances more and more vigorously! Did he forget what he was supposed to do? Most importantly, does he have enough experience to control the snake?!"
Thinking of this, Professor Zhou tried to use a calm tone to remind him: "Feng Yi! Don't forget your work!"
"Why!"
Feng Yi stopped what he was doing and said to Professor Zhou and the others, "Sorry, I was a little excited just now! I just wanted to verify what exactly is going on with its 'dancing'.
“Now it seems that the so-called snakes dancing to the sound of the flute is really a lie!
"I didn't play any flute or any music, I just used my palms to make it sway and 'dance'!"
Feng Yi acted completely on his talent and instinct. When he came in front of the snake, he seemed to be able to sense the snake's emotions.
Ever since the beginning of mutation and evolution, Feng Yi seemed to have lost his fear of snakes. It was an indescribable feeling. Before evolution, he saw snakes as just snakes.
After the evolution began, the snake no longer looked the same in his eyes.
If I really want to use an analogy, it's like -
A spicy strip was placed in front of him.
I'm not afraid.
After facing this cobra, Feng Yi quickly discovered the key point. Its eyesight is okay, but its line of sight is very straight, and it will stare straight at the target.
Therefore, Feng Yi could easily predict its attack.
Because it was looking straight ahead and staring at it, once Feng Yi's palm attracted its attention, it would move along with Feng Yi's palm.
Over there, Steve was also explaining to Cheng Si and the others why the cobra would "dance" with Feng Yi, which was basically the same as Feng Yi had guessed.
"… It was staring at a target, and its upright body would sway along. However, while staring, it was probably thinking, what is this thing in front of it? When should it bite? Which time has a higher chance of hitting the target?"
Cheng Si asked again: "Then why did it lean back when Feng Yi pushed his hand towards it instead of biting forward directly?"
"this problem… "
As he spoke, Steve suddenly raised his hand and waved towards Cheng Si.
Cheng Si leaned back to avoid it.
Steve: “Got it?”
Cheng Si: "I understand."
Suddenly an unknown object comes towards you, don't you have to retreat tactically
“That’s pretty much the same thing, but if there’s someone with a particularly bad temper, you have to be more careful,” Steve said.
The snake charmers and their snakes in the documentary have a tacit understanding that they have developed since childhood. The charmers also understand their snakes' tempers better and will not jump back and forth when their snakes reach the critical point of anger.
But when a stranger encounters a strange snake, especially a venomous snake with a bad temper, even an experienced snake handler like Steve will be extremely careful and cautious.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that he catches snakes easily. In fact, it is all due to accumulated experience. No one knows what happened behind the experience.
“To those who don’t understand, Feng Yi’s interaction with Xiao Zhou just now may seem like a dance between a man and a snake, but in fact, that’s not the case.
"It's like this kind of interaction is maintained at a certain safe distance, with both sides on guard. It looks harmonious, but in fact it's in a tense confrontation.
“Experienced veterans know when to start and when to stop.
"Once this balance is broken, if there is no absolute control, one side will always be in trouble."
The human is testing with a purpose, but the snake is thinking about how to kill the creature in front of it during this testing.
Steve said: "In my opinion, appropriate probing is called interaction.
"Inappropriate probing is like a stranger flirting with you for no reason, getting within your attack range and yelling, 'Come on, bite me!'
“Whether it is suitable or not, this degree can only be mastered by people with sufficient experience. Non-professionals should not try it!
"Don't even try!"
As he was speaking, Steve noticed that the cobra turned around and stopped interacting with Feng Yi.
"Feng Yi! It's trying to run! Pull..."
Steve wanted to remind Feng Yi that when pulling its tail, be careful not to get bitten!
Just as he started talking, Feng Yi rushed over.
Just reach out without using any tools!
whoosh!
Pinch the snake accurately.
I didn't pull the snake's tail at all.
Steve's unspoken words got stuck in his throat.
Before he could finish his words, Feng Yi had already captured all the people!
Feng Yi caught the snake.
"Professor Zhou, what should we do next?"
"You hold it first, we will measure some data." Professor Zhou said.
Steve came over to discuss with Feng Yi how to control the snake.
Steve becomes very proud when talking about this, after all, he is very experienced.
“… Actually, you can also use your hands or knees or something else to attract its attention in front, and then use your other hand to go around behind it and touch its head.
"Similarly, you can also divert its attention and give it a kiss~
"But it also depends on the temperament of the snake you encounter. For example, for some snakes, if you touch their heads to distract them, they may be unhappy, but they may not attack you. However, for some snakes, if you touch them, they will hiss in your face."
Although he was shocked by Feng Yi's reckless "snake dance" just now, but now he knows that Feng Yi is very sensible.
In Steve's eyes, Feng Yi is already an experienced snake-controlling expert, so they can communicate some experiences directly without worrying about the other party seeking death. He also doesn't have to worry too much when imparting this experience of interacting with snakes.
Feng Yi and Steve exchanged their experiences in controlling snakes, and basically Steve talked and Feng Yi listened.
Feng Yi planned that next time he met 'Xiao Zhou', he would try what Steve said, maybe it would enhance his ability to perceive snakes in all aspects.
"Do you know how to extract the venom?" Professor Zhou asked Feng Yi.
"… meeting."
"That's great, it saves us the trouble of having to hand the snake over to Steve."
Professor Zhou came over with a container containing poison.
Generally, they extract venom by biting the dish or the membrane. When the snake is in an attacking state, it bites the dish and starts injecting venom.
However, in many cases the amount of toxins discharged is not large, so assistance is needed.
Professor Zhou was just about to ask someone for help when he saw Feng Yi already squeezing the venom sac of the cobra!
Be precise! Act quickly!
Professor Zhou and others were stunned.
Teacher Lei, who was filming with a camera nearby, said, "That's good, kid. That's a great move!"
Feng Yi forced a smile.
… my cheek hurts.
Steve watched from the side, "Oh, look at these little grooved teeth... The amount of venom is still acceptable, it seems that I didn't spray much venom when I was interacting with Feng Yi just now.
"Actually, the way they bite and spray poison is different. This is what Xiao Zhou does when he sprays poison. You see..."
Steve craned his neck and imitated, "Dive down, open mouth, lift up, tu—"
Feng Yi: “…”
Steve felt that his imitation was very vivid and lifelike, enough for Feng Yi and the others to understand.
"That's it! Although Xiao Zhou is not a professional venom-spraying cobra, and his accuracy is not high and his range is limited, you still have to be careful. After all, it is highly venomous. If you have injuries on your body or if the poison splashes into your eyes, it will be very troublesome."
After measuring the data and taking samples, the cobra was released back into the forest.
Mr. Lei, who was in charge of the filming, was particularly happy. He started filming when Feng Yi walked towards the snake. He filmed the entire process of Feng Yi's interaction with the snake. He watched the playback several times during the break and asked Steve to analyze the hidden murderous intentions behind this "dancing with the snake".
Cheng Si felt itchy when he saw it.
He also watched the video that Teacher Lei had just played, and even thought of several editing methods and publicity strategies in his mind. It was a pity that Feng Yi would not cooperate with this kind of publicity.
If the person in the video was replaced by myself...
Cheng Si wiped his face to sober up.
He is not a master like Steve and Feng Yi. If it is a life-and-death fight, he is definitely not afraid, but if he wants to control the snake and make it take the desired video during the interaction, that is much more difficult.
Therefore, Cheng Si could only fantasize about it in his mind.
The next day.
I don’t know whether to say that Cheng Si was lucky or unlucky. When the team was taking a break and he left the team to go to the bathroom, he saw another cobra.
I was planning to call Feng Yi or Steve over, but I swallowed the words back before I could say them.
An idea arises in my mind.
Yesterday, when I saw Feng Yi playing with the snake, making the cobra “dance” along, it seemed… simple
Why not give it a try
Including the number I caught after entering the mountains with the team, I have caught more than ten snakes, so I have some experience.
This cobra is obviously smaller than the one Feng Yi caught in the morning. Cheng Si feels that he should be able to hold it.
He thought that if he recorded a video of himself playing with the cobra and posted it on social media, it would definitely spark heated discussion!
Not every outdoor broadcaster can do this!
The idea is getting stronger and stronger.
He didn't bring a dedicated camera, so he had to use his cell phone.
The camera function of the mobile phone is limited. He can't let the lens follow the person all the time, so he can only make do with it and try not to leave the shooting range of the mobile phone lens.
After setting up the phone and adjusting the angle, Cheng Si began to recall all of Feng Yi's actions yesterday.
Not long after that, he went to observe again on purpose, and every scene was very clear when he recalled it.
He also carried sunglasses with him.
Cheng Si took out his sunglasses from his pocket and took a deep breath.
"Come on, cutie."
Facing this nationally famous venomous snake, Cheng Si felt nervous. To be on the safe side, he decided not to go all the way when interacting with a snake for the first time.
He doesn't have such high requirements now, such as swaying back and forth, left and right, and rotating.
At a distance, Cheng Si walked around first.
The snake stood up straight, staring at Cheng Si, its head turning.
Cheng Si became a little bolder, and within the range of the mobile phone, he recalled Feng Yi's actions and walked towards the snake.
It can't be said to be exactly the same, but it's definitely not much different.
Let’s try it left and right first.
Squat down.
Then…
Hold out your palms...
hiss-
"ah!!!"
