Chapter 134 Giant Python
The dark lake, the lights reflected on the water surface flicker.
A small boat is moving forward in the dark night.
On the boat are Wei Hongxi, Xiao Ding, forestry bureau personnel, as well as the photographer and boat staff sent by the resort manager to follow.
The resort decided to take advantage of this incident. The manager did not dare to follow, so the photographer was asked to follow and record.
After the incident is over, the edited video will be converted into more benefits. The video must be released after the consent of the forestry bureau and the joint guarantee bureau, but it doesn't matter. For them, it is enough to have topics 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 and shoot. He can't help with other things, so he has been quietly recording beside.
Although he didn't make a sound, the photographer's face was tense and he stared at the surroundings vigilantly, fearing that a giant python would suddenly jump out from somewhere.
This boat is not big. It is the kind of cruise ship commonly used in the local lake view park. This is provided by the resort. Time is tight and there is no other choice for the time being.
And this kind of cruise ship doesn't look very strong and doesn't seem to be very reliable.
If it were in a movie, this kind of scene would definitely encounter something, and then a few people would fall off the boat, and then some other crisis would happen...
The more he thought about it, the deeper his fear became, and the photographer trembled. This happened too suddenly tonight, and the resort couldn't find a suitable filming staff for a while. He was considered to be relatively brave, and the resort gave a lot, so he was willing to take the risk.
There were five searchlights on the boat, and Wei Hongxi and the forestry bureau staff kept observing the surroundings. There was also a drone flying not far away.
Among the people on the boat, Xiao Ding was the calmest. He was holding his mobile phone and broadcasting text to others in the chat group.
For things like this, Xiao Ding and the others were not actually worried about Feng Yi's safety. When Feng Yi appeared in front of them in another form, Xiao Ding was most impressed by the metal frame that was dented by Feng Yi's tail.
"Your boss's swimming skills are good enough to participate in professional competitions, right?" Wei Hongxi said.
Wei Hongxi originally planned that Feng Yi would search in the water and they would follow him in the boat.
Unexpectedly, when the boat came, Feng Yi couldn't find anyone once he dived into the water. How to follow him?
Although Feng Yi had told them before that he would search by diving and asked them not to worry, Wei Hongxi couldn't help but worry after hearing no movement for such a long time.
Xiao Ding thought about it 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, "Can't you contact your boss?"
"I really can't." Xiao Ding said, "But you don't have to worry, he's very good."
At this time, the forestry bureau staff found something and pointed to the shore not far away, "Hey, wait! The boat moves closer!"
The forestry bureau staff directed the boat to move a little closer to the shore, then leaned over and picked up a small piece of something from the grass on the shore with an extended clamp.
"Snake skin!"
Although the small piece was a little folded and curled, it was not easy to identify, but Wei Hongxi still recognized it.
"Yeah."
The forestry bureau staff took the small piece and wet it in the water, slowly unfolding it.
The small piece unfolded into a snake skin the size of two palms.
This is just a part of the snake's shed skin. However, if snake sloughs can be found here, there must be more in this place, and there will be more dragging marks of pythons crawling on the ground. It is inconvenient for them to be on the boat now, so Wei Hongxi contacted other people to come here to look carefully and collect more snake sloughs.
After the call, Wei Hongxi looked carefully at the snake slough he had just picked up.
"It's a big one!"
The forestry bureau staff also looked gloomy.
"It shed its skin not long ago, it may have eaten, it is not hungry, and it did not attack Mo Xiaoguang directly when it met him."
The discovery of this snake slough reconfirmed what Mo Xiaoguang said and the clues that Feng Yi found through the fishing net.
It is indeed a big python!
Can Feng Yi handle such a big python alone?
On the other side, Feng Yi, who dived into the water to find the snake by smell, swam a distance and emerged from the water to identify the smell, and then continued to search. Although he still surfaced from time to time, his speed was far faster than Wei Hongxi and others.
Feng Yi did not expose his tail in the water.
There is no need to show it, and it is useless. You have to worry about being discovered all the time. Although it is now covered by the night, many people are attracted by this incident, and several departments have been mobilized. Who knows where there are people and cameras hiding?
After Feng Yi sensed the location of the python, he slowed down.
Unknown plants grow in the shallow water area of the undeveloped shore, and half-human-high plants are densely distributed on the lakeside.
A long and sturdy body is hidden under the water.
Next to the stone on the shore, half of the head is exposed, and the eyes and nostrils are exposed. There are black arrow patterns on the head, but they cannot be seen in the dark.
The whole body is motionless.
The lake, the night, the grass, and its own pattern cover, even in the daytime, someone walking by the shore may not find it.
It is even more difficult to find it at night with limited lighting.
Perhaps when Mo Xiaoguang and his team cast their nets, the python also stayed quietly on the shore, but Mo Xiaoguang and his team didn't notice it.
However, Feng Yi didn't rely on vision to find the snake.
After locking onto the target, he swam over there.
The python did not move when it noticed Feng Yi approaching, but it spit out its tongue to sense the changes in the smell around it.
What should I do if I find a giant python?
What skills are needed to catch a giant python?
Skills?
Feng Yi did not know how others would react, but for him——
At this time, of course, he would just rush over based on instinct!
Of course, Feng Yi did not act immediately.
When approaching, Feng Yi almost floated on the water, swam sideways, stopped beside it, and stared at the python.
Alas, I didn't bring my phone.
It's a pity that I can't take pictures.
The estimated length is about the same as the one he caught when he was on a scientific expedition with the team in the Nanchong Mountains, maybe a little longer, but the most obvious difference is that this snake is thicker and looks more "bulky".
Privately raised snakes are indeed "fatter" than wild snakes.
However, even if the python in front of him looks "bulky", it must be quite flexible when hunting or attacking.
The muscles on its body are too threatening, and what Wei Hongxi said before was not exaggerated at all.
Sensing Feng Yi approaching, the python still didn't leave. It spit out its tongue, turned its head, and stared at Feng Yi with cold and ruthless eyes.
Feng Yi responded with the same vertical pupils that seemed to be without any emotion.
"Hi~"
Feng Yi did not show any aggression.
It did not seem to show any aggression either.
The man and the snake looked at each other for a few seconds, and the python turned its head, spit out its tongue, and was about 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.
Others on the boat also realized that Wei Hongxi wanted to judge by the sound whether there were other human voices or easily ignored cries for help, so they all breathed lightly and stopped what they were doing.
There was the sound of water waves hitting the hull.
In the distance, some unknown animal made a cry, but it was definitely not a snake.
When everyone thought they couldn't hear anything, suddenly a fluttering sound came from somewhere in front.
"Hurry, hurry! Go over there!"
Wei Hongxi quickly contacted the people around him and surrounded the place where the noise came from.
He was anxious!
He was worried that if the rescue was not timely, the people entangled in the water would be in great danger!
If Feng Yi was really in trouble, they would only have a few dozen seconds at most!
The searchlight was turned over, and Wei Hongxi picked up the telescope.
They rushed over very quickly, and the people who got Wei Hongxi's information and surrounded him were also very fast. They knew that time was running out and hurried to support.
However, when they really arrived...
Feng Yi was walking from the lake to the shore.
He held the snake head in one hand, hung a section around his neck, and fished out another section with the other hand, stepping on the slope with difficulty.
The people who received Wei Hongxi's message and arrived first were all shocked when they saw the thick python that Feng Yi was carrying.
Most people are afraid of giant pythons. When they see such a big python, even if they have received the news before and are mentally prepared, they can't recover from the impact when they see it with their own eyes.
If Feng Yi was in danger, they could still use tools and equipment to deal with the python in a simple and rough way.
But now Feng Yi was fine and was walking to the shore with the snake, so they didn't know what to do. They were not professionals. Small pythons were okay, but for such a large one, they should wait for professionals to come, otherwise they would only make things worse.
Fortunately, Wei Hongxi and his men came quickly.
He was relieved to find 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 saw such a scene with his own eyes.
Feng Yi had a hard time walking, and the difficulty was not that he carried such a big python, but that the road from the lake to the shore was not easy to walk!
He walked towards the slope on the mud in the lake, and the slope was a bit slippery, and he almost fell.
Fortunately, he was not wearing shoes!
No one saw that when Feng Yi stepped on the slope, a layer of scales appeared on the soles of his feet, firmly grasping the ground on the slope.
If he wore shoes, he might not have such a grip, and he might have slipped and fallen into the lake just now.
When he finally got ashore, the scales on his feet disappeared.
Then Feng Yi, panting and looking extremely tired, threw the snake body he had caught onto the grass in front of everyone.
Now there was only the snake head in his hand and the part hanging on the neck.
Okay, it's not so eye-catching anymore!
Feng Yi smiled and looked at Wei Hongxi and the others who came over, "Mission accomplished!"
Wei Hongxi and the people from the Forestry Bureau hurriedly got ashore from the boat and went over to put down the snake body hanging on Feng Yi's neck.
"You can't just hang it around your neck like this, it's going to squeeze you!"
With just such a simple action, Wei Hongxi deeply felt the weight of the snake! He didn't know how Feng Yi carried the snake ashore!
