Chapter 859 Flying Snakes on the Island
After passing through the whirlpool, the catamaran continued to sail on the river, and the sky gradually darkened.

The sun set in an orange-red afterglow, the full moon rose into the sky, and the river sparkled.

After a whole day of sailing, the catamaran approached an island in the middle of the river. Pep told everyone that it would temporarily stop sailing here tonight.

Everyone can squeeze together on the boat, or go to the island to set up a night camp, and the sleeping place will be more spacious.

Since there are three women in the team, it is not convenient to sleep in the hammock with the men in the cabin.

After some discussion, everyone decided to go camping on the island, each with a tent, and it would be more comfortable to sleep.

Everyone left the boat and went to the island. Pep chanted a spell to shrink the boat into the astrolabe, and led the turkey to lead the way.

The part of the island out of the water is about [-] mu, high in the center and low around, like a big bowl upside down on the river.

Pep led everyone to the middle of the island, where the terrain is higher, the vegetation is sparse, and the view is wider, which is more suitable for camping.

The island is overgrown with vegetation and there is no ready-made road. Pep brandished a machete to clear the way.

Gao Fei and his entourage followed behind him, walking up the gentle slope.

Along the way, frightened birds often flew out, and the sound of birdsong and flapping wings filled the dark forest.

As we approached the top of the slope, the noise of the birds chirping became more intense.

Hundreds of sparrows frantically flew from one tree to another, blurred figures shuttled back and forth in the forest, and sometimes they all flew up into the sky, like dark clouds hovering in the night sky.

Pep and Tangning, who were walking at the front of the line, stopped one after another and looked at the frantic birds in the forest, thinking deeply.

"Sister Tang, what happened?" Gao Fei went up to inquire.

"The birds are very emotional, this is not normal," Tangning replied in a low voice.

"Are you frightened by outsiders like us?" Gao Fei asked.

"Just the few of us can't scare the birds on the island like this." Tangning shook her head lightly. "Based on my experience, the birds either sensed the approaching typhoon, or they were running away from natural enemies..."

Her voice was still echoing in the forest, and Gao Fei saw a slender shadow flying up from the branches, biting the sparrow in the air, and then gliding to the opposite tree.

"Huh? It seems that there are snakes flying in the sky!"

Ma Yun's eyes widened in surprise, and she waved her hand to release the "dancing light technique", four balls of light floated into the air, illuminating the canopy of the tree.

Sure enough, many small green snakes with a length of one meter were scurrying through the branches of the dense rainforest, preying on birds.

With the light, Gao Fei could clearly see the whole process of these little snakes hunting.

They first compress their flexible bodies into a spring shape, then eject them violently, stretch their bodies in the air, and swing their tails in an S shape, like a rudder, flexibly adjusting their direction.

What's even more amazing is that when the snake glides, it also relaxes its muscles and bones, flattening its body like a leaf, making full use of the buoyancy of the air, floating longer in the air, gliding farther, and biting while gliding at high speed Birds, showing superb hunting skills that are both fast and accurate.

"Hey! Snakes are flying in the sky! Is this a mutated flying snake?" Jiang Feng exclaimed.

"You guessed it right, they are indeed called flying snakes, but they are not mutant creatures." Tangning replied with a smile, "This kind of snake doesn't have any supernatural powers, and it doesn't really fly, it's just good at gliding. There are a lot of them in the rainforest, also called 'Golden Flower Snake'."

"Oh! As soon as you mentioned the Golden Flower Snake, I knew it." Qi Tian patted his forehead, "This kind of snake is also found in the south of China, and it seems to be a protected animal. I don't know what level it is, Xiaoyun, you do you know?"

"Entered in the 'Three You Catalog', although it is not legal, some people still like to keep this kind of reptile... Generally, no one cares about it." Ma Yun replied lightly.

At this time, a flying snake landed on a lower branch, causing the branch to bend down.

Gao Fei took a closer look and found that the back of the flying snake was dotted with dark golden spots. Against the backdrop of the green snake scales, it reflected the moonlight and was extraordinarily gorgeous. No wonder it was called the "Golden Flower Snake".

Gao Fei wanted to play with this beautiful little snake, but for safety's sake, he had to ask Tangning in advance, "Sister Tang, is the Golden Flower Snake poisonous?"

"The toxicity is very mild and does not cause much harm to humans."

Gao Fei was relieved, and grabbed the little snake from the branch, feeling cool to the touch.

Jiang Feng also came over and poked the snake's head curiously with his fingertips.

"Hey! You two, what are you doing teasing snakes when you have nothing to do!" Wang Daqing couldn't help warning them, "Whether it's poisonous or not, don't you feel sick if you put this thing in your hands?"

"Such a small snake looks pretty, so what's there to be afraid of?" Seeing Wang Daqing's nervous face, Jiang Feng asked in surprise, "Brother Daqing, aren't you afraid of snakes?"

"Uh... Normal people are afraid of snakes, don't come close to me! Just watching them writhing from a distance makes me get goosebumps!"

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, the tall and mighty old brother Wang was actually scared back by a small snake. This contrast surprised everyone.

"I heard that some people are particularly afraid of animals with many legs, such as spiders, centipedes, and octopuses, while others are afraid of snakes and insects without legs, and even dare not touch earthworms. Brother Daqing, you belong to the latter type, right?" Gao said. Fei guessed.

"It's not that I'm afraid, I just feel uncomfortable when I see the twisted and wriggling worms..." Wang Daqing reluctantly argued.

"That's not the same? Don't be stubborn!"

Qi Tian grabbed a small snake, and with a mischievous smile on his face, he pretended to throw it at Wang Daqing.

"Xiaotian! You give me enough time!" Wang Daqing glared at him angrily.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble! You said that you are all grown-ups, why are you still like a bunch of little kids, a few little snakes are enough for you to have fun for a long time... You are not childish !"

Ma Tao, smoking a cigarette, was speechless at his companion's unpromising appearance.

Ma Yun tiptoed around behind Ma Tao, intending to coil a cold golden flower snake around the back of his neck, but Gao Fei stopped it in time to prevent the siblings from pinching each other again.

The turkey was also impatient with everyone's stagnation, stretched its neck to get closer to Ma Yun, quickly snatched the golden flower snake from her hand, and swallowed it piece by piece like a powder.

"Beautiful job!" Wang Daqing gave the turkey a thumbs up, "I don't mean anything else, I just sympathize with the sparrow, and the turkey avenges the sparrow, that's great!"

"Brother Daqing, you don't need to explain, the more you describe, the darker it becomes." Ma Yun said angrily.

As a bird-swarming mutant, Tangning could be regarded as a relative of sparrows. He couldn't bear to see the birds being hunted and killed by swarms of flying snakes, so he sang a "Beast Taming Song".

The snakes calmed down, enjoyed the songs, replaced material enjoyment with spiritual food, and ended the hunting operation tonight early.
