Yan Zhijin didn't talk much in the first place, and only when he met a creature he liked, would he introduce a few more words with interest.

After seeing the poisonous lizard, he spent most of his time looking out of the window in a daze. Every time Shen Zhiyu asked him something happily, he had to wait a few seconds before he said a few words like gold. Sorry to bother him.

Yan Hui's attention was all on Yan Zhijin, and he was even less interested in things that Yan Zhijin was not interested in.Yan Zhijin didn't speak, he didn't even bother to look at the others.

Edward is a local, but after all, he is a native of country A. Everyone's language habits are very different, and he can't express some professional terms.

When encountering any new creatures, they all rely on Zhang Shuo's half-baked science popularization.As a photographer, he said he has never received so many admiring looks because of his "knowledge".

"I heard that there is a new type of drug recently, which is the poison of toads. After using it, it will produce a feeling of ecstasy, dizziness, and the things in front of you are distorted and deformed. It is similar to eating poisonous mushrooms. Some people even lick it directly. Wild toads, just to experience that wonderful feeling," Zhang Shuo laughed loudly, "I remember that kind of toad, the place of origin is also here."

Drugs are not something to show off after all. Edward showed embarrassment and said, "There is such a thing. But it doesn't have to be toads... the venom of other animals may also have a similar effect."

"Really? I haven't heard of any other animal's venom having such a wonderful effect."

"Nature always surprises us like this..."

Yan Zhijin listened to their chatting and laughing nonchalantly.

It has been half an hour since the poisonous lizard disappeared. During this time, I don't know if it was a coincidence or Yan Hui deliberately shot it. I haven't seen the second poisonous lizard yet.

His mood didn't improve, and he was still gloomy.

"Stop." Yan Hui suddenly stopped.

Edward slammed on the brakes and almost threw the people in the car off.

"What's wrong?" The others looked at him in shock.

Yan Hui showed a mysterious smile, said "Sorry" casually, jumped out of the car, and walked not far away.

After a while, he came back with something.

The long brown body hangs straight down, swinging left and right in the wind, like a patterned hemp rope.

Shen Zhiyu moved closer curiously, and immediately took a few steps back in shock: "Snake!"

Yan Hui supported the snake's body with his other hand, brought the snake to Yan Zhijin's eyes, and said, "Western Diamondback rattlesnake."

Yan Zhijin froze for a moment, his attention was immediately attracted by the snake in his hand.

The snake is small in size, with its body coiled up, its upper body raised slightly, swallowing | spitting out letters uneasily.

It was the color of hard sand, with white diamond-shaped markings from weathering, and a few strange flat bead-like rattles on its tail.

Yan Zhijin let out a soft cry, the haze in his eyes was swept away, and they shone brightly.With a gentle smile on his lips, he carefully looked at the snake in Yan Zhe's hand, and asked, "Where did you find it?"

"It's just under the stone over there." Yan Hui handed the snake closer to him, pinched the snake's head threateningly, and said softly, "You can touch it, it won't bite you."

Yan Zhijin tentatively touched the snake's scales, and the snake immediately raised its tail.But it didn't wag its tail, it just looked at Yan Zhijin in fear.

Yan Zhijin boldly stroked his tail again.

The snake began to violently shake the rattle ring on its tail, and exhaled "呵呵" from its mouth.

Yan Hui pressed down on its head firmly.

The snake's tail wagged even more, and it looked more like fear than a demonstration.

Yan 虺 is like that huge snake that eats snakes as its main food, biting its prey's neck and pouring venom into his blood unreasonably. The poor western diamondback rattlesnake is played by him between his palms.

Yan Zhijin immediately withdrew his hand, but his eyes were gentle, not like being frightened by the snake, but as if he was afraid of hurting the snake.

"It's still a baby, don't freak it out," he said.

Yan Hui slightly relaxed his control over the rattlesnake.

The rattlesnake still didn't dare to act rashly, coiled in its palm, with the movement of breathing, the muscles of the body continued to stretch and relax.

Its tail is raised high, it looks like it is hugging its tail, and it keeps shaking, and the crisp ringing sound is also coming from its tail.

Yan Zhijin said to Shen Zhiyu and others: "This is the western diamond rattlesnake. It mainly preys on birds and small mammals. Have you seen its tail? It has a special bone structure. When it shakes, it can Make a loud sound to scare off the enemy, this one is still very young, and there are only a few rattles on its tail. Of course, it is not bluffing, and its venom is also a powerful weapon."

His eyes are lively, full of joy and vitality, as if he has returned to the state before he met the poisonous lizard, and he enthusiastically shared his experience with others: "This kind of snake is what every reptile lover wants to meet in the wild. object, we are lucky."

Shen Zhiyu watched from afar, not daring to approach, and asked, "It...uh, does it want to bite now?"

"It's very scared." Yan Zhijin pulled Yan Ji's sleeve and said, "Let's put it away."

Yan Xun didn't say much, just got out of the car and put the snake back where he caught it.

"Wait for a while, we'll be back." Yan Zhijin also got out of the car and waited for him not far from the snake.

When Yan Hui came back, he took Yan Hui together and observed the snake's behavior not far from the snake.

As soon as the snake hit the ground, it ran away quickly.Its body draws a strange S-shape in the desert, as if gliding.

Yan Zhijin did not leave, but followed behind him with Yan Hui.

Finding no threat, the rattlesnake slowed down and stretched its limbs lazily in the sun.

Thinking about it, it was just out to bask in the sun, but it was caught by Yan Hui.

Snakes cannot control body temperature changes, so they need external temperature to maintain body temperature.But exposure to the sun will also slow down their actions. After a while in the sun, it will go to enjoy the cool.

Not far away was a juvenile lizard crawling.

Rattlesnake looked at it impassively.It can be seen that it has aimed at its prey.

Yan Zhijin squatted not far away, watching it prey in fascination.

He has a feeling that he has returned to many years ago.As a child, this is how he observed animals in the wild.Later, when I grew up, the academic tasks and scientific research tasks became more and more heavy, and the opportunities to go out and observe nature became less and less.

He wiped sweat from his cheeks.It was already summer, and the sun in the desert was extremely hot. I didn't feel it when I was in the car, but I realized it was really hot when I got out.

A shadow fell over his head.

Yan Zhijin looked up, and it was Yan Hui standing behind him, covering his head with his coat, shielding him from the sun.

He whispered "thank you" and reached out to pick up his coat, but Yan Hui took his hand.

"Let me come, you get tired easily when you hold your hands up," Yan Hui paused, squeezed his fingers, and said jokingly, "You can hold it like this if you want."

Yan Hui's hand was very cold, and when he touched it, he shivered.

Yan Zhijin slowly withdrew his hand and said "Thank you" again.

In just a few seconds, the rattlesnake struck.Like all other venomous snakes, it relies on agile attack movements, embeds its fangs into the skin of its prey, injects venom into them, and wraps them with its body to fix them, preventing them from easily breaking free from their attack movements.

When the poison takes effect, the prey loses the ability to resist, and they slowly adjust their posture to take the prey into their mouths.

Seeing the rattlesnake start eating, Yan Zhijin looked away, stood up with support, patted his sore knee, and said to Yan Hui, "Let's go."

"Don't you want to watch it finish eating?" Yan Hui hung his coat on his arm.

"No, we've been out for too long, Zhiyu and the others have to wait."

Yan Hui nodded, stretched out his arms, and asked teasingly, "Is your leg numb? Do you want me to help you?"

"No need." Yan Zhijin habitually refused.

Yan Hui didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them walked towards the car with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Halfway through, Yan Zhijin suddenly realized that something was missing.

He stopped in his tracks, looked at Yan Zhen with complicated eyes, and stopped talking.

"what happened?"

Yan Zhijin frowned, examining Yan Hui's expression.

Yan Hui couldn't help becoming serious, touched his face, and asked, "What's wrong with my face?"

Yan Zhijin opened his mouth several times, but remained silent.

He lowered his eyelids and asked hesitantly, "Are you angry?"

Yan Zhen looked at him in astonishment, and then seemed to have heard something funny. After holding back several times, he stopped laughing and asked softly, "Do I look angry? Did I scare you?"

Yan Zhijin shook his head, his brows and eyes seemed to be covered by a cloud, and they did not stretch: "Why are you not angry?"

"Is there anything I need to be angry about?"

"I'm looking at other snakes," Yan Zhijin said, "I seem to like that snake very much."

Yan Hui was slightly taken aback.

He was silent for a long time before saying, "I forgot."

No one can forget such a thing.Yan Zhijin felt that it should be an instinct for Yan Hui to get angry when he was intimate with other snakes.

"I don't know why I'm not angry, maybe it's because seeing that snake can make you happier." Yan Hui narrowed his eyes with a smile, and squeezed his hand, "It's more important that you be happy. But next time... That little one wasn't so lucky."

His eyes showed that almost paranoid attachment again.

Yan Zhijin put his hand behind his back, touched the place where he touched him, and pretended to be serious: "Pay attention to your words and deeds, don't move your hands or feet."

When they were about to get to the car, the two of them saw an unfamiliar car parked beside them from a distance, and a few people who obviously got out of this car were talking to Shen Zhiyu and the others.

With such a long distance, Yan Zhijin still felt that there were a few people who were somewhat familiar.

Or the kind he didn't want to see.

He held Yan Hui back and said, "Let's go and see the rattlesnake."

Unexpectedly, those people's reactions were faster than his. Before he could turn around, several people greeted him.

Qi Li'an smiled gently: "Zhijin, long time no see."
