Every day is one step closer to reality

Feng Yi decided to take the time to buy a few more pairs of shoes for backup, not only boots for going into the swamp, but also a few pairs of sports shoes, house slippers and the like.

Although the weather in Florida has been good recently, it is not sunny every day. It is very likely to rain during this month's activities. It's okay if it rains lightly, but it's inconvenient to go out if it rains heavily, so you have to stay in the hotel.

Feng Yi thought that if he stayed in the hotel room when it rained, he would soak in the bathtub for a few more hours. It's impossible to fully transform the tail, the bathtub can't stand it when moved, and the space is too small to move it.

Just change some scales.

While taking a bath, Feng Yi looked at the transformed scales on his feet and sighed.

He hadn't been away from home for long, but he had already begun to miss the big bathtub at home and the soaking pool in the basement.

Or maybe it's because the tail hasn't come out these days, and I'm so depressed that I suddenly come to a suitable natural environment like a swamp, and I feel excited just by stepping in the water.

The temperature drops a lot at night. If it were during the day when the temperature was more suitable, wouldn't Tail want to go out and bask in the sun?

Alas, sorrow.

Even the mood is a little melancholy.

"So pathetic."

But it was impossible for the tail to come out, but Feng Yi thought that he could start looking for the giant python in the next few days. When he was alone, could he try treading water?

Even if no one is paying attention, you can take off your boots and take a refreshing swim in the water?

Forget it, after all, it is during the event. If it is not necessary, it is better to be cautious. Who knows when the drone will suddenly fly over?

Maybe there are some inspectors from the Joint Security Bureau lurking everywhere?

Feng Yi thought about it and decided that it would be better to wear his boots and play in the water. As long as the changes were not big, the boots would not be broken.

Today I was not mentally prepared, my feet changed a bit suddenly, and my boots burst. He'll pay attention next time.

While Feng Yi was thinking about how to tread water, other members of the python hunting team were also talking about him.

As the outgoing teams return one by one, they go to the designated location to hand over the python, and they also ask about the situation of other teams. The staff at the delivery point will not go into too much detail, but the key information will be disclosed to more people. After all, this was not considered private, and Feng Yi did not emphasize confidentiality.

As a result, Feng Yi's name appeared in their chat messages in various languages.

The Grayson brothers, the more famous brother partners in the professional hunting team, also brought a trained hunting dog. They caught five today, which was already a good record. At least among the people he knew, no one could surpass them.

This is not the time when snakes are active, and it has been dry recently, not as humid as the rainy season. Boas are hiding most of the time. Even those that come out to bask in the sun are under hidden shelters, such as grass and branches. Exposed ones are rare.

You can't find it at first glance in the withered grass. Even an experienced hunter may not be able to find it at once. The brothers are experienced in finding pythons, and hunting dogs can help them find them faster and more accurately.

They took the land route today. After driving to a place, they took the dogs into the swamp to search.

While hounds can help, there are limitations and other scent disturbances, especially in areas where crocodiles are present. There are a lot of crocodiles in the Everglades, so there are many places they won't get close to.

Crocodiles are protected by the local government. There are some methods they can use on pythons, but they cannot be used on crocodiles. If they are photographed by a drone or bumped into by an inspector, they will lose their qualifications for this event.

In addition to the Federal Security Bureau, they also encountered vehicles from the local Water Management Bureau and the Geological Survey along the road today.

Being stared at by these people, they were unable to use many methods.

On the first day, everyone just came in and caught everything that was easy to catch. After that, if there were two or three fish every day, they would be considered lucky. Many people leave empty-handed on the first day.

I thought that the five they caught on the first day would be enough to show off to others, but I didn’t expect that there would be another one who caught seven!

"On the first day, one person caught 7 fish?"

"What the person at the delivery point said is true. No matter how big or small, it is really incredible that one person can catch 7 pythons!"

"Can you find out what method he used to catch him?"

"I have a friend who knows someone from the research center here. According to them, this person used 'ancestral DNA'."

"...another way of saying talent? Or is there some other hidden method that you just don't want to talk about?"

"I do not know."

"Well, he doesn't need to avoid crocodiles, and he has unknown searching skills, so he can indeed catch so many. You can observe him when you encounter him in the swamp next."

Regardless of the reactions of all parties, the name "Feng Yi" has already left an impression on everyone's minds.

On the other side, Cheng Si went out for a day today and the live broadcast lasted for more than 8 hours. However, he couldn't rest immediately when he came back in the evening. After the team collected the information from all parties, Cheng Si started the live broadcast again.

It's night here, but it's daytime back home, and there are a lot of people in the live broadcast room.

"The time is too short and the information we can receive is limited..."

This is information they only got after they paid money. They have no access to some python hunting teams, and they don’t have time to look for them one by one. The easiest way is to share the information with other media teams, or pay to get the information from others. .

But even so, complete and accurate data cannot be easily obtained. But these are enough, there is no need for them to bother looking for irrelevant data.

Cheng Si was in a good mood, "I was also surprised when I saw these data. I had seen other media boasting about elite teams from various places, such as experienced hunters, husband-and-wife teams who are well-known in the circle, and other things like winning gold medals." The combination of brothers and dogs with the same fingers, in the end, I am still the best... Brother Snake is the best!

"It's such a pity! I couldn't go with you to shoot today!"

If he had known that Feng Yi and Steve were just exploring the route today instead of catching the giant python, he would have had to follow them again!

"How many did you catch? Brother Snake caught 7 pythons on the first day... It wasn't giant pythons. They just went to get familiar with the route on the first day... Yes, if I had known earlier, I would have followed. I am regretting it now... ...Not tomorrow. I just sent them a message and was rejected, saying that I will officially start looking for the giant python tomorrow...There is no way, that is the world of experts, I have to practice again..."

Cheng Si interacted with the audience in the live broadcast room and answered some questions that could be answered. However, in order to avoid causing trouble to Feng Yi, he still used nicknames when talking about Feng Yi.

But Cheng Si didn't know that Feng Yi's name had gradually spread.

The next day, Cheng Si specially observed Feng Yi and Steve and found that the route they took today was different from yesterday. Knowing that the two people really had other plans, he gave up following them.

Steve started complaining when he saw Feng Yi in the morning, "Director He told me again, let me take you to less strange places!"

Steve's first reaction after hearing Director He's words was that he didn't take Feng Yi out to fool around!

Unexpectedly, Director He was talking about Feng Yi's shoes.

"I didn't notice it yesterday. Are those shoes of yours okay? They don't feel strong or durable. How about I lend you mine? I brought a spare. What size do you wear?"

Feng Yi refused, "It's okay. I brought spare boots, which are quite sturdy. The pair yesterday was just an accident. I explained this to Director He."

"There's no point in explaining. The old man won't listen. He's such a person..."

Steve congratulated the director all the way until they boarded the ship.

The starting point they chose today is not the same as yesterday, and it is also different from most teams. This is decided after setting the target route.

After telling Warren about the route, Warren thought for a moment, recalling the swamp area he was familiar with, and then said, "I roughly understand it. I'll run for a while first, and I'll ask you again when I get to an uncertain place."

Warren is ready today, he must take a video of Feng Yi catching the python!

Yesterday he went back and told his colleagues and friends, but they still didn’t believe it! To say Warren is exaggerating and bragging!

The video of Feng Yi catching a venomous snake in the research center can still be found on the Internet, but you said that if you just pull it in the wild, it will be a python? What nonsense!

Anyone who lives in Florida doesn’t know that pythons are hard to catch in the swamps? ! And it’s still the dry season!

Warren was as aggrieved as a river turtle whose mouth was forcibly tied.

It's obviously true!

Unfortunately, there was no picture and no truth. He could only hope to take a photo today to prove that he was not lying.

The boat sailed on the water, but there were too many people traveling at this time, so the speed did not increase. Feng Yi and Steve were not in a hurry. Steve continued to analyze the information about the swamp, while Feng Yi looked at the surrounding environment with eager eyes. You can’t let it go and play, but it’s always okay to get addicted to it.

The boat traveled for a while and saw no other boats, but Warren reduced the speed of the boat.

"What's wrong?" Steve asked.

Feng Yi looked somewhere and said, "There's someone over there, it seems like they've encountered an alligator."

There were four people standing over there. They heard the movement and looked over. Their facial expressions changed obviously from anticipation to disappointment.

At this time Steve also saw clearly the situation over there.

There were four people, three standing on one side, another standing in the water, and a nearly four-meter alligator lying across the middle.

"Feng Yi?" one of them asked.

"Do you know me?" Feng Yi asked.

"My name is Pan Weining, Zhai Yiyou's friend. I saw you at the security checkpoint yesterday. Can you help me?"

Pan Weining is not sure either. Zhai Yiyou only told him that if he encountered a python, he could contact Feng Yi. Feng Yi was very good at catching snakes, but he didn't tell him what to do if he encountered a big crocodile!

Their team returned empty-handed yesterday. They didn't catch any pythons. Instead, they encountered a few in places suitable for fishing. Someone suggested bringing fishing rods to find a place to fish. If you can't catch pythons, you can go fishing. This activity didn't mention going inside to catch pythons. There is no time to fish.

After making the decision, Pan Weining made an appointment with another fishing friend. He thought that the activity period would be long and he could look for pythons nearby while others were fishing.

I inquired about some places suitable for fishing in the swamp areas during the dry season, and decided on a place farther away where no one else would disturb me. I rented fishing rods and other fishing supplies, and went there early in the morning to occupy the area to prevent it from being occupied by other amateur teams.

The pool was quite calm, so even if there were crocodiles in it, it would be fine. They had inquired and found out that this was also the area where the river slugs lived, not the American crocodiles.

It's not the breeding season now, and the crocodiles aren't that active. As long as they don't get too close to the shore and don't go into the water, they'll be fine.

There will be restrictions on some fishing tools during the event, and those with lethality are not allowed to be brought in.

Unexpectedly, before the fish was caught, a big crocodile rushed out.

Not only did they wash up on the shore, they also chased them.

Pan Weining's cousin accidentally fell and rolled into the water. Pan Weining and others wanted to save it, but the big crocodile was stuck in the middle. They tried their best to attract the crocodile, but the effect was not great. Instead, the crocodile seemed to be getting more and more angry.

"I've called for help, but... I have to wait."

The organizer's rescue team will give priority to rescuing the expert team. Several expert teams did not come back last night. They were doing research in the swamp. They encountered some trouble this morning. The rescue team went to rescue them. Here I can't care about it for now.

Moreover, the rescue workers here have a slightly perfunctory attitude towards amateur teams like Pan Weining and others who have paid to come in. At the same time, in the eyes of those people, this situation here is not a particularly urgent situation.

At this time, you can see the advantages of the expert card. Amateurs stay back.

Pan Weining spent more money to find people from a private rescue team, but they would come a little slower.

They are not the only ones in the amateur team. Many people in the amateur team are not very capable, but their ability to cause trouble is first-rate.

However, they are not causing trouble, right?

If it were only a two-meter crocodile, Pan Weining could handle it by himself, but no one dared to try this three- to four-meter alligator easily. Moreover, the alligator in front of him seemed to be different from most of the alligators he knew. It was more irritable. It was now staring at the people in the water. They had seen its speed just now, and now they just wanted to delay time and wait for professional rescue.

When they heard the sound of the boat, they thought rescuers had arrived, but they didn't expect it to be the contestants.

Steve and Warren discussed how to deal with it. There were no professional crocodile catching tools on the boat.

"It can attract its attention," Steve said.

"These people must have done it before, but the effect was not great. There are also other types of alligators." Warren pointed, "You can check which alligator this is. There are marks on its tail."

Steve took photos and asked people at the research center.

At this time Feng Yi said: "I will go over and solve it."

"Are you alone?" Steve asked.

"OK!"

Seeing that Feng Yi was sure, Steve looked at the situation over there and nodded, "Pay attention."

Feng Yi got off the boat and headed over there.

Warren worried: "An alligator of this size usually requires the cooperation of several people, except for a few experts who specialize in this. Are you sure you want him to go alone?"

"Don't underestimate him, he has the strength to deal with a giant python alone."

Having said that, Steve still went over with the limited ropes, paddles and other tools on the boat, just in case.

Warren took the tools and followed him out of the boat. He was also curious. He knew that Feng Yi was good at catching snakes and had seen it with his own eyes, but crocodiles were different from snakes.

Steve and Warren followed Feng Yi, wanting to see how Feng Yi would handle it.

Then they saw Feng Yi speed up, and then...

A sliding shovel!

Everyone:? ? ?

What kind of operation is this?

Sliding directly into the crocodile's mouth? !

Steve: I couldn’t understand it, but I was shocked!
