Chapter 173 What Trouble Throwing

Feng Yi sat on the back of the giant python, holding the snake's tail in his hand, to prevent it from rolling over.He has a serious expression, but his eyes are out of focus, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

Steve didn't even notice that Feng Yi was distracted, he was praising the king's head shape of this giant python.

"Look at this head, it looks like a born king! There are also these old scars on the head, and this is its battle badge in the swamp. Those giant pythons raised in captivity don't have this! Wow, look at its eyes, cold, cold, Even the scales at the corners of the eyes are wild and domineering! Much more aura than those raised in captivity!"

Feng Yi: "..."

Steve: "This head shape, this appearance, this figure! Hey, I feel a little bit of reticulated python blood, it can be seen that it is not a purebred reticulated python, and the temperature of a purebred reticulated python is probably not willing to move.

"Someone discovered it in the swamp before the climate anomaly period, selected naturally from generation to generation, survived the climate anomaly period and can adapt to the swamp climate, and then gave birth to hybrid pythons with other pythons, such as Burmese pythons or other rock pythons? "

Steve talked about his guesses.

This mixed-race python is relatively slender, which also resembles a reticulated python.

Six meters is the limit for Burmese pythons, but there are many reticulated pythons that are six meters long. As long as the conditions are sufficient, six meters can be as long as you like.Steve has also seen the seven-meter reticulated python, but most of them are raised in captivity.

I have never seen a seven-meter reticulation in the wild.

"Although it's not a purebred reticulated python, this kind of mixed blood is rare enough, and the wild ones are even stronger!"

As Steve said, he finally realized that Feng Yi was distracted again, and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Feng Yi came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, I'm just a little hungry."

"Hey, bear with it, you can go eat when Director He and the others come."

Feng Yi hummed, and brought the topic back to the giant python, "Isn't this one seven meters long? Can it break the world record?"

Speaking of this, Steve was also excited, "It should be seven meters, and the exact amount must be measured carefully. It may not be able to refresh the highest data, but it must be the longest python found in the wild. Some extreme individuals in captivity are also very large."

"In wild conditions, human activities will affect their living environment, and of course their growth will be limited. In the past, when the range of human activities was not so large, the area of ​​primeval forest was vast, the area of ​​wetland jungle was larger, sufficient food and suitable The growth environment must be able to support larger and more extreme individuals.

"Now I want to see extreme individuals. It's hard to find in the wild, but zoos and research centers can see captive ones. Look at the star pythons in zoos. Generally, the individuals are relatively large, and some have been carefully bred and screened. Funding after abnormal climate periods Increase, there are grants, subsidies, and social donations, and the conditions are improved, and the zoos are competing with all their strength, and they will be bigger than whoever raises them."

Speaking of the zoo, Feng Yi also remembered the golden python he had seen before, "There is a golden python in Rongcheng Zoo, it is more than six meters, and it is very big."

Steve's tone was not fluctuating, and his attitude was very flat, "Oh, I know that one, the albino Burmese python, artificially bred, and carefully fed and raised, it is considered the limit individual among the dominant individuals, it is not surprising that it grows so big."

Generally speaking, the "golden python" is an albino Burmese python.But in the eyes of ordinary people, the albino Burmese python and the albino reticulated python are all the same, they are both "golden pythons".

But here with Steve, the difference is huge.

"I've seen albino reticulates of seven meters, and albino Burmese pythons are shorter. Reticulated pythons are leaner, except for those raised as pigs. I still prefer wild ones," Steve said.

Steve could sigh obsessively "It's so beautiful" at the giant python that almost bit his head.

"I have the opportunity to take you to the tropical jungle to catch anacondas. That's another kind of cuteness! I have a bad temper, but it's not particularly bad."

Feng Yi: "...how big can the anaconda grow?"

"It's hard to say, depending on its living environment. The current extreme individual is definitely not as good as the net pattern. Many exaggerated data, the actual measurement is only more than five meters. But the huge anaconda skin decades ago can prove that there were larger individuals before. , the living environment at that time could afford such a large body, but not now.”

"Can't be speculated based on the data?" Feng Yi asked.

"The data obtained by the scientific research will be lower than their growth limit to a certain extent. After all, there is no fact or evidence, and you don't know how big they can grow in the wild environment. Special individuals are not so easy to come across. Like this article, it belongs to a special individual.”

Steve tapped the giant python in front of him with his chin, "As for the snakes whose data exceeds my common sense, they only exist in the marketing account."

Feng Yi was thoughtful, grabbed the giant python's tail and shook it unconsciously. After shaking it, he realized that it was not his tail.

For a while, the interest was dull.

Alas, I want to go home.

suffocated.

However, Steve was in high spirits, and continued to tell Feng Yi, "The one we caught has a mixed-blood advantage. For example, among the offspring of boa constrictors that prefer wetlands and boa constrictors that prefer highlands, there may be some dominant individuals. Adapting to the wetlands as well as the highlands. That's the kind of heterosis that interbreeding can lead to."

When Director He arrived here, Steve controlled the python's head, and Feng Yi pressed his torso and grabbed the python's tail.The python was motionless.

Director He even suspected that the giant python was dead.

Their helicopter couldn't land at the snake-catching spot, so they searched nearby to find a suitable spot.When the helicopter landed, Director He rushed to Feng Yi and Steve's location immediately with his men.

The people who came here were all professionals, and there were more people, and they took over to control the giant python, so Feng Yi and Steve had nothing to do.

Director He glanced at Feng Yi with a deep meaning in his eyes, a bit like the one he met in the hotel lobby—an hour of safety education class plus a handwritten letter of guarantee.

That letter of guarantee is still in Director He's hands.

Director He glanced at Steve, and before he could speak, Steve took a step forward and held Director He's hand tightly: "Director He! I finally understand your feelings back then! These years have been so difficult!"

Director He: "..."

With a blank expression, he pushed Steve aside, "Look at the snake first."

Feng Yi and Steve followed obediently.

Feng Yi briefly explained the process of catching the python to Steve.

Director He didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he hummed and asked Feng Yi, "Are you injured?"

"No."

Director He took a closer look and found no injuries on Feng Yi's body. "There may be internal injuries too. Don't ignore it. A team doctor will follow and let him take a look at it later."

A person from the United Nations Security Bureau came over from the giant python, "The giant python is still alive. I don't know if there are internal injuries, but no obvious external injuries. You can only know how it is going back for inspection. The conditions here are limited."

After speaking, he took the instrument, measured the temperature of the ground, and measured the body temperature of the python. After a while, he checked the time, walked to the side and called to urge: "Hurry up, it will become more active when the temperature rises in the morning, and it will be more difficult to control. "

Director He walked over and took a close look at the giant python caught by Feng Yi.

This size is indeed a visual shock, and it is indeed a wild species, not released in captivity.

"The temperature in Virginia has picked up in the past two days, and the night is a little higher than the previous few days. There are many nocturnal animals, so it chooses to come out at this time."

Director He checked the situation of the giant python, and said to Feng Yi and Steve: "Leave it to us first, and a temporary tent has been set up over there, and food and water have been brought. You two go to have a rest."

Solve the matter of the giant python first, and discuss the matter of Feng Yi later. Now is not the time to pursue it.

Steve said: "Feng Yi, go there first, I'll go back to Bai Zedi to clean up and bring the car over."

Before Feng Yi could say more, Steve ran away in a hurry.

Feng Yi always felt that this guy threw him some trouble.

What's the trouble?
Feng Yi looked at Director He's back.Director He and the others are busy with their affairs now, and they can't train him.

Now, what is it?

Unexpectedly, Feng Yi is not entangled.Never mind, go eat something first, I'm so hungry.

Feng Yi walked towards the tent and saw the people who were temporarily stationed here. Director He brought several familiar faces, and he had seen them during the domestic training.

Just as they were saying hello, there was the sound of a helicopter flying in the night sky.

Three more helicopters landed, but there was no suitable place here, so they found another place to stop.

"Is that also your person?" Feng Yi asked the person next to him.

The man took a look and denied: "No, the model looks like the one used by the local media."

Feng Yi: "..."

Hey!
He knew why Steve was running so fast!
Feng Yi turned his head and wanted to rush into the tent, but after running two steps, he stopped again.

After thinking about it, I decided to face it first, otherwise these people would not leave easily.

As Feng Yi thought, relying on local advantages, the local media that flew over first not only came, but also brought their cooperative media, which was fierce and well-equipped.

People from the United Nations Security Bureau and the local law enforcement department kept a close eye on the giant python. They couldn't get close to it, and couldn't take pictures of anything useful for a while.But don't worry, the transport vehicle hasn't arrived yet, the giant python has been here, there is always a chance.

If you can't get a picture of the python, then interview the person who caught the python first!

A group of people rushed in front of Feng Yi, and a series of questions were thrown out.Some people were worried that Feng Yi would not understand, so they brought a translator.

Feng Yi in the camera, even though he is good-looking, looks extremely tired and has no energy when he smiles.Others thought that he lost his strength by grabbing the python.

however……

exhausted!

Quite tired!

My brain cells are running out!
Hearing what these reporters said, the residential area was completely alarmed!Why is there such a big movement!
Why do these people have so many questions?I haven't figured out the answer yet!
Don't slap me in the face!
Damn, the lights are so flashing that my pupils are almost popping out!

Just take a picture and take a picture, what are you doing pinching my arm!You restrain yourself!
...the teeth started to itch.

Feng Yi took out his sunglasses and put them on.

The lights are really too bright here.

After a while, people from the Federal Insurance Bureau came to stop the reporters from going crazy.Feng Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Director He dispatched two people to guard Feng Yi's place to prevent Feng Yi from being disturbed.

After a brief interview, Feng Yi walked towards the tent with a tired face.

Sensing Feng Yi's impatience, the two people from the United Nations Security Bureau sent over were about to give some advice, but they saw Feng Yi suddenly leaned over and grabbed a python from the grass beside the tent.

Not big, about one meter long.

Two people: "?!!"

Feng Yi held the snake's head with one hand, and untied the snake's body wrapped around his wrist with the other hand.

Looking at it from a distance, it looks like Feng Yi is holding some strip in his hand, swinging his arms around it.

"Did you bring your bag?" Feng Yi asked.

"Ah? Oh! Bring it!"

One of them hurried into the tent and quickly took out a snake bag.

Feng Yi threw the snake inside and tied the bag, "I'll leave this to you?"

"Yes, just leave it to us, and we will keep records for you."

"Then I'll go to sleep first."

"Okay, we're just outside, if there's anything to shout about."

When Feng Yi walked into the tent, the person holding the snake bag raised the bag in his hand and asked his colleague, "Did you see the snake there just now?"

"No. You went in and out a few times, and you set up the tent. Did you find a python hiding there?"

"……No."

"As expected of the number one force in the regiment, it's really easy to grab one!"

"If I didn't know it was a snake, I would have thought he was ramen noodles at first glance!"
