Chapter 138 Here!

After careful consideration, Feng Yi finally didn't want the bicycle.

What kind of bike do you want?

The bicycle affects my speed in chasing snakes!

After upgrading my physical fitness, I can run around the lake without any problems!

However, these other people did not know that Wei Hongxi objected to this, but Feng Yi was firm.

Although he failed to change Feng Yi's mind, Wei Hongxi still chose to follow Feng Yi on a bicycle just in case. Originally, he planned to send someone to clear the way in front, but this proposal was rejected by Feng Yi. Blocking someone in front would also interfere with his ability to distinguish scent and direction, and could easily affect his speed in tracking the target.

When it came to the urgent matter of capturing the giant python, even if Wei Hongxi was not optimistic about Feng Yi's choice, he still compromised. After all, Feng Yi is an expert on this matter alone and has proven his ability. At this time, the expert's wishes should take precedence.

So, Feng Yi soon started running on the path around the lake, followed by Wei Hongxi and a Forestry Bureau employee on bicycles.

Xiao Ding and several others sat in a patrol car and followed along the driveway around the lake a little further away.

Wei Hongxi pedaled his bicycle. At first, he was worried that Feng Yi would not be able to keep up with his physical strength and would be distracted by other things, but soon he discovered...

Feng Yi seems to be a bit unreliable!

Are you running too fast? !

After setting off, Feng Yi maintained a neither fast nor slow speed at first, but then his speed began to increase.

Wei Hongxi said it was okay to run slower, but running fast would consume too much energy. But he still didn't make a sound, he thought, Feng Yi could run faster and stop to rest when he got tired.

Speeding up shows that Feng Yi has a positive attitude.

Feng Yi didn't know Wei Hongxi's psychological activities. After running, he stopped paying attention to other unimportant things.

Allocate part of your attention to check the condition of the ground under your feet, and the rest to focus on the distribution of the surrounding aura.

Water, soil, plants, and the complex odors left by various animals or microorganisms filter out unimportant information and capture suspicious odor molecules that are easily ignored.

After running from the starting area for more than 20 minutes, Feng Yi could smell the survival scent of several other snakes, but they were all small snakes, and the python only had the scent left by the one caught in the early morning.

It didn't stop for more than twenty minutes. Wei Hongxi was lucky. There was someone who caught the big python in the early morning. He had confidence in Feng Yi.

And not everyone on the patrol car felt the same way.

It's not necessarily that he doubts Feng Yi's ability.

One was caught in the early morning, and people from the UN Security Bureau and the Forestry Bureau have proven that Feng Yi has this ability. But if Feng Yi's ability is normal and he hasn't found the smell of another python yet, does that mean that... In fact, there is no second python?

"Look again, this lake is very big. Let's take a lap first."

First determine if there is one, and then decide how to catch it.

They also know that today’s temperature is actually not easy to find snakes.

"The temperature is a bit high today." A person in the car said.

If the temperature is relatively low, then they only need to find a suitable place to bask in the sun, and they are likely to find snakes.

But if the temperature is not low, as long as the python is not hungry, it will be too lazy to move and does not need to bask in the sun.

Their body color and pattern have the advantage of concealment, and they are really hard to find when hidden.

It would indeed be more convenient if Feng Yi could really find the python by smell.

The temperature in Yangcheng has been on the high side recently. When most parts of the country enter winter, many people in Yangcheng still wear short-sleeves recently. Therefore, there are many people visiting Yangcheng at this time, and the business at the resort is indeed booming. This is why several resort owners are eager to solve the problem. Every day is money!

They have already planned how to turn disadvantage into advantage, but only if the python really catches it!

"I heard that some professional snake catchers train hounds to search?" the resort manager asked.

"This is indeed the case," said a Forestry Bureau employee. "You can search for targets by scent, but we don't have such working dogs dedicated to searching for snakes."

The person in charge of the resort smiled and said in a slightly relaxed tone, "This also shows that you can really search by smell. The one caught early this morning was found by wind experts based on smell."

Now that one big guy has been caught, it's not that difficult to catch another big guy.

The owners of the resort checked Feng Yi when they hired him to catch snakes with a high salary. They knew that one of Feng Yi's special abilities was that he was extremely sensitive to the smell of snakes.

But others in the car were not so optimistic. Whether or not you can find it is one thing, but how to catch it is another.

Dealing with such a large snake can easily lead to serious trouble. Moreover, according to the available information, this second snake also has a bad temper and may actively attack people.

The person in charge of the resort was not an idiot who couldn't read people's faces. He glanced around and noticed that the other people in the car looked serious. The smile on his face also faded, but his voice was not tight: "I heard This type of python doesn’t eat humans, so they can’t swallow it. Domestic pythons may eat more rats in their lifetime, right?”

"No matter how many rats they eat, they can't get too close to residents. They grow very fast. They eat rats at first. After eating rats, they will turn to other small animals, and then children." said someone from the Forestry Bureau.

The person in charge of the resort froze. Of course he had heard rumors about this kind of python swallowing children.

The large pythons hiding in the lake area are indeed capable of hunting larger targets.

After two dry laughs, the resort manager changed the subject and asked, "What does it feel like to be bitten by a python?"

The expert with the tooth marks on his arm has the most say on this matter.

"Being bitten by a python is like being hooked on your arm by four rows of nails, and they are the kind with barbs."

While speaking, the expert raised his hand to simulate the snake's mouth, and suddenly his fingers hooked on the resort manager's arm, and the latter was so shocked that his arm shrank back.

"That's it!" said the expert, "You see, your first reaction is to pull your arm in the opposite direction, but the python's teeth are like barbs. If you pull, it can directly tear your flesh and even cause tendon ruptures!"

The resort manager's face tightened.

He hated snakes, and two of them were the worst.

One was a highly venomous snake.

The other was a snake that was bigger than him.

The atmosphere in the car was a little solemn, and the only one who looked relaxed was Xiao Ding who was carrying a toolbox.

The resort manager looked at the people in the car again, and finally his eyes fell on the photographer next to him. The photographer in charge of the follow-up this time was not the one in the early morning. He was younger and looked like he exercised regularly. Logically, such a young man should not have much experience in following snakes.

"Are you afraid?" asked the resort manager.

"Generally." The photographer smiled shyly, "I'm not good at playing football, but I can dodge."

The resort manager stopped talking. Not only is he not good at playing football, he is also not good at dodging!

So, when these people go to catch snakes later, he will definitely not get off the car!

While they were talking, they suddenly saw Feng Yi speeding up.

"What's wrong? Have you found any traces?!"

Everyone in the car became nervous.

Wei Hongxi, who was following Feng Yi, was about to ask a question, but Feng Yi made a gesture and pointed in a direction.

Over there!

There is really a second giant python here!

It is confirmed to exist, and the next step is to capture it!

The people in the patrol car didn't want to talk. Their respective tasks had already been assigned. Once Feng Yi found the python, they would work together to catch it.

There were four people with guns.

It would be best if the python could be caught alive and safe, but in case of an emergency, people must be the first priority, and the python can be shot directly when necessary.

Feng Yi has already smelled the scent of another large python in the air.

These odor molecules reveal a sense of ferocity. If it were in the wild, it would also be a dominant force, and it would definitely be an individual at the top of the regional food chain.

From the information conveyed by these odor molecules, Feng Yi knew that it was the "big girl" in the photo, and it felt similar to the photo.

As the running speed increased, Feng Yi was getting closer and closer to the center of the odor. There was indeed a smell left by the giant python's activities nearby, but it was not strong. These smells may have been left many days ago.

As others guessed, after the giant python ate, it stayed in a small area and may not move for a long time.

Now all the odor molecules point to one location, that is, where the "big girl" is.

After another ten minutes, they came to a wetland area.

Maybe it hadn't been taken care of for a long time. The sidewalk was not wide. The branches and weeds on both sides pressed against the path. Feng Yi was lucky. He could flexibly avoid the branches, and the extended grass leaves did not cause any harm to him.

Wei Hongxi, who was riding a bicycle, encountered much greater resistance. After riding for a while, Wei Hongxi simply got off the bike and ran with Feng Yi. Anyway, it looked like they were getting closer to the goal.

"How far is it?" Wei Hongxi asked.

"There!" Feng Yi pointed not far away.

Wei Hongxi looked over.

There was no obvious lake slope in the lakeside area, and the water was not deep. The trees blocked the sunlight above, and only sporadic points of light were scattered on the water.

There were also many plants growing there, with stems and leaves extending from the water.

Some leaves were already withered and yellow, while some herbaceous plants' leaves were still green, and the color appeared darker due to the light.

It was very quiet around.

"Where is it?" Wei Hongxi took out the tools and asked others to come over.

"That's it! The snake's head is hidden behind the driftwood. Can you see the arched part next to the grass?"

"...Where?!"

Wei Hongxi stared with wide eyes, but couldn't find it.

Where is it? Where is the arched part?

But now that Feng Yi has found the target, he can catch it!

The patrol car has stopped and rushed over. Wei Hongxi was about to say to Feng Yi: Don't be impulsive. We have more people this time, and this giant python has a bad temper. The environmental conditions here don't have any advantages for us. Let's not alarm it first and discuss how to catch it.

Just after saying "Don't..."

Feng Yi accelerated, jumped, jumped into the water, and picked up a snake head from behind the driftwood with one hand.

"Here!"

In the giant python's open bloody mouth, several rows of barbed fangs glowed bloody and fierce in the splashing water and mottled sunlight.

Wei Hongxi: "!!!"

Feng Yi stood up with one hand holding the snake's head, ready to drag the giant python ashore, but soon realized that this behavior was not reasonable!

So, the other hand that was originally about to pull the snake away from his body turned around and grabbed the snake's head.

"Come and help! It's strangling me so hard that I can't breathe!"

Feng Yi looked extremely difficult, as if his strength was almost exhausted, but he kicked away the thigh-thick driftwood in front of him.

There is still half a month, and there are still 27 chapters away from the goal...
