"She doesn't run around. She has experienced being abducted, which is a bit exciting. She needs to do something else to distract her attention. I gave her a drawing board, and she will just draw quietly next to it without causing any burden to you.

.”

While chatting and walking towards the reef beach, Santos also observed the island. Feng Yi was indeed an expert certified by the Joint Security Bureau. He paid attention to all aspects, and Santos found no violations.

Or maybe there were violations, but they were cleared up before they arrived. It doesn't matter, Santos won't delve into it. He came here this time to deal with the marine iguanas and the smuggling case.

The period of climate anomalies that lasted for twenty years dealt a devastating blow to most reptile species, and in terms of the recovery of wild populations, marine iguanas are definitely among the best.

Many people want to study them, but local governments and conservation agencies have strict restrictions, which is why smuggling cases frequently occur.

Most of the wild ones bear the mark of a conservation organization, so driven by profit, the secret illegal breeding gangs have their own unique tricks. What Santos is investigating this time is a large-scale smuggling gang, a group of people who specialize in smuggling live animals and products.

Coming to Feng Yi to deal with the nine marine iguanas was already the result of his attention, the dual importance he attached to these nine marine iguanas and Feng Yi.

Not long after, the group came to the reef beach.

At this time, there were only five marine iguanas lying on the rocks, and the others had gone into the water to look for food.

However, after watching the video evidence provided by Feng Yi, Santos knew that there were indeed nine here.

"Nine...Gerry, when they surrounded the cargo ship, how many marine iguana boxes fell into the sea?" Santos asked.

"On the record, there is only one. There are ten in a box." Gray said. "Hmm, the survival rate is 90%, which is really a miracle. Or maybe there are some that have not been recorded. Anyway, there are nine here.

A lucky little monster," Santos said.

Feng Yi frowned.

Lucky?

Perhaps it was because there was a lot of noise when he analyzed the skills of his ancestors that night, which kept the large predators in the sea away, making the sea near the island quieter and safer? These marine iguanas actually swam here instead of following the sea.

The same way other animals hide or avoid.

Maybe it's because they didn't go through that oppressive time period and were later attracted by the energetic seawater?

Feng Yi speculated on various possibilities in his mind.

But the two special investigation team members did not know the inside story.

Santos looked at the marine iguana in front of him.

Although I don’t know why nine marine iguanas were able to arrive here safely, but if

I'm lucky enough that it's theoretically possible. Otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

"Congratulations on adding another island to their footprints! They are strong in the strategic level of ocean migration. They are always good at finding a way out of crises. I pay tribute to the marine spirit."

Santos said as he approached the reef with steady steps.

After walking a few steps, he looked back at Feng Yi, his eyes asking: "Don't you want to follow?"

Feng Yi spread his hands: "They are afraid of me."

Team leader Santos added: "Maybe it's because you smell like snake."

Feng Yi looked stunned: "Oh, that's it."

Wild marine iguanas may have experienced the life-and-death escape of being chased by snakes when they were young. Snakes are their natural enemies when they were young. This may be a fear engraved in their genes.

Seeing Feng Yi's reaction, Santos walked to the rocky beach for a while and said to Gray next to him: "He should be able to understand that what I just said was just a joke?"

Gray raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

They didn't know Feng Yi well, so it was hard to tell whether Feng Yi took him seriously.

Santos looked back again and saw that Feng Yi was still standing where he stayed, not approaching.

Taking another look at the marine iguana still lying on the stone, Santos said to Feng Yi, "How about you come over and give it a try?"

"That's what you said. I'm not responsible for them running away!" Feng Yi raised his feet and took a few steps in that direction.

The marine iguana, which was lying peacefully on the stone just now, suddenly seemed anxious and restless.

Wait for Feng Yi to take another two steps closer.

The marine iguana lying on the stone quickly moved its limbs and crawled away.

Feng Yi stopped: "So, I'd better stay away."

Santos' eyes gradually became strange.

Without saying anything more about letting Feng Yi get closer, he walked towards the stone where the marine iguana was lying just now, waiting for the marine iguana to come out of the sea.

"I just said it as a joke, right?" Santos said to Gray, "Maybe because he often comes into contact with snakes, he really smells like snakes? Is the marine iguana's ability to distinguish so strong? You smelled it just now around him

Does it smell strange?"

"No." Gray said.

"Then why are marine iguanas so afraid of him?"

"I'm also surprised. If he hadn't provided complete video surveillance, I would have suspected him of sadistic behavior."

"Yeah, it's so strange. There are no snakes here. Could it be that... it's already pickled?"

"Santos, please allow me to give you a suggestion. As the leader of the investigation team, you can speak a little more tactfully when facing experts certified by the organization."

"for example?"

"For example, you can say that this is the professional quality of an expert!"
