Every day is one step closer to reality

On the dark lake surface, the lights reflected on the water surface flicker.

A small boat moves forward in the dark night.

On the boat were Wei Hongxi, Xiao Ding, forestry bureau personnel, photographers sent by the resort director to follow the photos, and staff on the boat.

The resort decided to take advantage of this incident, but the person in charge did not dare to follow, so they asked the photographer to follow and record the incident.

After the event is over, the edited video is converted into more benefits. The video will definitely need the approval of people from the Forestry Bureau and the Joint Security Bureau before it can be released, but it doesn't matter. For them, it's enough that it has a topic and benefits. Of course, the most important thing now is to catch the giant python first!

This photographer is not a professional field photographer. His current job is just to follow the photos and cannot help with other things, so he has been quietly recording nearby.

Although he didn't make a sound, the photographer's face was tense and he stared at the surroundings warily, fearing that a giant python would suddenly emerge from somewhere.

This boat is not big, just the kind of cruise boat commonly used in local lake view parks. It is provided by the resort. Time is tight and there is no other choice at the moment.

And this kind of cruise ship doesn't look very strong, and it doesn't seem to be very reliable.

If it were placed in a movie, something like this would definitely happen, a few people would fall off the boat, and some other crisis would happen...

The more I thought about it, the more fear in my heart deepened, and the photographer trembled. This happened so suddenly tonight, and the resort couldn't find a suitable photographer for a while. He was quite courageous, and the resort offered more, so he was willing to take the risk.

There were five searchlights on the ship. Wei Hongxi and the Forestry Bureau personnel kept observing the surroundings, and there were drones flying not far away.

Among the people on the boat, the calmest one was Xiao Ding. He took his mobile phone and broadcast live text messages to others in the chat group.

For things like this, Xiao Ding and the others are not actually worried about Feng Yi's safety. When Feng Yi appeared in front of them in another form, what impressed Xiao Ding most deeply was the metal frame that was dented by Feng Yi's tail.

"Your boss's swimming skills are enough to participate in professional competitions, right?" Wei Hongxi said.

Wei Hongxi originally planned to let Feng Yi search in the water, and they sailed to follow him.

Unexpectedly, when the boat came, Feng Yi couldn't find anyone in the water. How does this follow?

Although Feng Yi had told them before that he would search by diving so that they didn't have to worry, Wei Hongxi still couldn't help but worry about not hearing anything for so long.

Xiao Ding thought for a while and replied, "I can't participate."

Wei Hongxi didn't really want Feng Yi to participate in the competition, so he didn't continue the topic, but asked, "You really can't contact your boss?"

"I really can't." Xiao Ding said, "But you don't have to worry, he is very powerful."

At this time, the Forestry Bureau personnel noticed something and pointed to the shore not far away, "Hey, wait! The boat comes over!"

The Forestry Bureau personnel directed the boat to move slightly closer to the shore, then leaned forward and picked up a small lump of something from the grass on the shore with an extended clamp.

"Snake shed!"

Although the little lump was a bit folded and curled, making it difficult to identify, Wei Hongxi still recognized it.

"Um."

The forestry bureau personnel took the small lump, moistened it in the water, and slowly unfolded it.

A small lump expanded into a piece of snake slough as big as two palms.

This is just part of the snake's shedding. However, if snake sloughs can be found here, there must be more in this place, and there will be more drag marks of pythons crawling on the ground. It was inconvenient for them to be on the boat now, so Wei Hongxi contacted others to come over and search carefully to collect more snake sloughs.

After making the call, Wei Hongxi took a closer look at the piece of snake slough he had just picked up.

"It's a big one!"

The Forestry Bureau personnel also looked gloomy.

"She shed her skin not long ago. She may have eaten. She is not hungry. They did not attack Mo Xiaoguang directly."

The discovery of this snake slough once again confirmed what Mo Xiaoguang said and the clues Feng Yi found through the fishing net.

It is indeed a big python!

Can Feng Yi handle such a big python by himself?

On the other side, Feng Yi dived into the water to look for snakes by following their scent. After swimming for a while, he came out of the water to identify the scent, and then continued his search. Although he still surfaces from time to time, his speed has far exceeded that of Wei Hongxi and others.

Feng Yi didn't expose his tail in the water.

There's no need to show it, it's of no use, and you have to worry about being discovered all the time. Although it was covered by night, many people were attracted by this incident, and several departments were mobilized. Who knows where there are people and cameras hidden?

After Feng Yi sensed the position of the python, he slowed down.

Unknown plants grow in the shallow water areas of the shore that are not fully developed. Plants half as tall as a person are densely distributed around the lake.

A long section of thick body is hidden under the water.

Half of the head is exposed from the stone next to the shore, with the eyes and nostrils exposed. There are black arrow patterns on the head, but they cannot be seen in the dark.

The whole body was motionless.

The lake, night, grass, and its own pattern cover up, so even in the daytime, someone walking past the shore may not be able to spot it.

With limited lighting at night, it is even harder to spot.

Perhaps when Mo Xiaoguang and the others were casting the net, the python was also staying quietly on the shore, but Mo Xiaoguang and the others didn't notice it.

But Feng Yi didn't rely on sight to find snakes.

After locking the target, he swam over there.

Sensing Feng Yi's approach, the python did not move. It just vomited and felt the changes in the smell around it.

What should you do if you find a giant python?

What skills are needed to catch a boa constrictor?

Skill?

Feng Yi didn't know what other people's reactions would be, but for him——

At times like this, of course I just rely on my instinct and just rush over!

Of course, Feng Yi did not take action immediately.

When he got closer, Feng Yi almost floated on the water, swam sideways, stopped beside it, and stared at the python.

Alas, I didn’t bring my cell phone.

It's a pity that I couldn't take pictures.

The visual inspection showed that the length was similar to the one he caught during the scientific expedition with the team in the Nanchong Mountains, maybe a little longer, but the most obvious difference was that this snake was thicker and looked more "bulky".

Privately raised snakes are indeed "fatter" than snakes in the wild.

However, even though the big python in front of you looks "cumbersome", it must be quite flexible when hunting or attacking.

The muscles on its body were too threatening, and what Wei Hongxi said before was not an exaggeration in the slightest.

Sensing Feng Yi's approach, the python still refused to leave. It spat out snakes, turned its head, and stared at Feng Yi with its cold and ruthless eyes.

Feng Yi responded with eyes that also seemed to have no emotion at all.

"Hi~"

Feng Yi showed no aggression.

It doesn't appear to be aggressive either.

The person and the snake looked at each other for a few seconds. The python turned its head, spit out the letter, and planned to leave.

Feng Yi couldn't let it run away, so he grabbed it and walked to the shore.

——

Wei Hongxi's side.

The boat sailed for a while, but couldn't find Feng Yi's location. Wei Hongxi stopped the boat, waited for the surroundings to be quiet, and listened carefully to the movements around him.

Others on the boat also realized that Wei Hongxi wanted to judge through the sound whether there were other voices or calls for help that were easy to ignore, so they all breathed lightly and stopped what they were doing.

There was the sound of water waves hitting the hull.

I don't know what animal was making the noise further away, but it was certainly not a snake.

Just when everyone thought they couldn't hear anything, suddenly a flapping sound came from somewhere in front.

"Quick, quick! Go over there!"

Wei Hongxi quickly contacted the people around him and gathered around the place where the noise was coming from.

He is in a hurry!

Worry about not being rescued in time, and the people entangled in the water will be in great danger!

If Feng Yi's side is really in trouble, they only have a few dozen seconds at most!

The searchlight shone over and Wei Hongxi picked up the telescope.

They rushed over very quickly, and the people who gathered around after receiving Wei Hongxi's information were also very fast. They all knew that time was running out and hurried over to provide support.

But when we actually arrived...

Feng Yi was walking from the lake to the shore.

Holding the snake's head with one hand and hanging a section around its neck, he scooped up a section with the other hand and stepped on the bank with difficulty.

Those who arrived first after receiving the news from Wei Hongxi were shocked when they saw the thick python carried by Feng Yi.

Most people are afraid of giant pythons. When everyone sees such a big python, even if they are mentally prepared after receiving the news before, but seeing it with their own eyes, the impact cannot be relieved for a while.

If Feng Yi's life is in danger, they can also use tools and equipment to deal with the python simply and crudely.

But now that Feng Yi was fine and was walking to the shore with the snake, they didn't know what to do. I'm not a professional. Small pythons are fine. For such a large python, it's better to wait for professionals to come over, otherwise it will only be a disservice.

Fortunately, Wei Hongxi and the others came over quickly.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Feng Yi was fine. Wei Hongxi had heard people mention that Feng Yi was very good at catching snakes before, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene with his own eyes.

It was difficult for Feng Yi to walk. The difficulty was not because he was carrying such a big python, but because the road from the lake to the shore was not easy to walk!

I stepped on the mud in the lake and walked towards the bank. The bank was a little slippery and I almost fell.

Fortunately, I didn’t wear shoes!

No one saw that when Feng Yi stepped on the bank, a layer of scales appeared on the sole of his foot, which firmly grasped the ground of the bank.

If you were wearing shoes that didn’t have this kind of grip, you might have slipped and fallen into the lake.

When we finally landed, the scales on the soles of our feet disappeared.

Then, in full view of everyone, Feng Yi panted and looked extremely tired, and threw the piece of snake body he was holding onto the grass.

Now there is only the snake head in his hand and the piece hanging around his neck.

Okay, it’s not so eye-catching anymore!

Feng Yi smiled and looked at Wei Hongxi and others who were coming over, "Mission accomplished!"

Wei Hongxi and the people from the Forestry Bureau hurried ashore from the boat and put down the snake body hanging around Feng Yi's neck.

"You can't just hang it around your neck like this. If it squeezes you, you'll be dead!"

With such a simple movement, Wei Hongxi deeply felt the weight of this snake! He didn't even know how Feng Yi carried the snake ashore!
