After passing through the whirlpool area, the catamaran continued to sail on the river, and the sky gradually darkened.
The sun sets in an orange-red afterglow, the full moon rises into the sky, and the river surface sparkles.
After a whole day of sailing, the catamaran approached an island in the middle of the river. Pep told everyone that it would temporarily suspend sailing here tonight.
You can squeeze in on the boat, or go to the island to set up an overnight camp, where the sleeping area will be more spacious.
Since there are three women in the team, it is not convenient to sleep in a hammock in the cabin with the men.
After some discussion, everyone decided to camp on the island, with one tent per person, which would make sleeping more comfortable.
Everyone left the boat to the island, Pep recited a spell to shrink the boat, put it in the astrolabe, and led the spitting turkey ahead to lead the way.
The part of the island above the water is about a hundred acres, with a high center and low surroundings, like a large 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 wide, making it more suitable for camping.
The island is overgrown with vegetation and there are no existing roads. Pep wields his machete to clear the way.
Gao Fei and his party followed him and walked up the gentle slope.
Along the way, frightened birds often fly out, and the sound of birdsong and flapping of wings fills the dark forest.
As we approached the top of the slope, the chirping of birds became more intense.
Hundreds of sparrows flew from tree to tree like crazy, blurry figures shuttled back and forth in the forest, and sometimes they collectively flew into the sky, like dark clouds hovering in the night sky.
Pep and Tangning, who were walking at the front of the team, stopped one after another and looked at the crazy birds in the forest, thoughtfully.
"Sister Tang, what happened?" Gao Fei walked up to inquire.
"The birds are very excited, which is not normal." Tangning replied in a low voice.
"Are you frightened by outsiders like us?" Gao Fei asked.
"With just a few of us, we can't scare the birds on the island like this." Tang Ning shook her head gently, "According to my experience, the birds either have a premonition of the coming typhoon, or they are avoiding natural enemies..."
Her words were 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? There seems to be a snake 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 tree crown.
Sure enough, many small green snakes, one meter long, were flying around the branches of the dense rain forest, preying on birds.
Through the light, Gao Fei could clearly see the entire hunting process of these little snakes.
They first compress their flexible bodies into a spring shape, and then suddenly eject themselves, stretching their bodies in the air, swinging their tails in an S-shape, like a rudder, adjusting the direction flexibly.
What's even more amazing is that when the little snake is gliding, it will also relax its muscles and bones, flatten its body like a leaf, make full use of the buoyancy of the air, float longer in the air, slide farther, and bite while gliding at high speed.
Birds show 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 snakes have no supernatural abilities, nor can they really fly. They are just good at gliding. On Irian Island
There are many of them in the rainforest, and they are also called 'Golden Flower Snakes'."
"Oh! I knew it as soon as you mentioned the Golden Flower Snake." Qi Tian patted his forehead, "This kind of snake is also found in the south of the country. It seems to be a protected animal. I don't know what level it is. Xiaoyun, you
do you know?"
"It's in the 'Three You Catalog'. Even though it's not legal, there are still people who like to keep this kind of reptile... and usually no one cares about it." Ma Yun answered 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 background of the green snake scales, it reflected the moonlight and was extremely gorgeous. No wonder it was called the "Golden Flower Snake".
Gao Fei wanted to take this beautiful little snake in his hands and play with it, but for safety reasons, he had to ask Tang Ning 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 felt relieved and grabbed the little snake from the branch. It felt 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 but warn them, "Whether it's poisonous or not, don't you feel disgusted if you put this thing on your hands?"
"Such a small snake is quite beautiful. What's there to be afraid of?" Jiang Feng saw the nervous look on Wang Daqing's face and 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 twisting from a distance gives me goosebumps!"
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng looked at each other.
Unexpectedly, the tall and mighty Mr. Wang was so frightened by a small snake that he backed away repeatedly. This contrast surprised everyone.
"I heard that some people are particularly afraid of animals with many legs, such as spiders, centipedes and octopuses. Some people are afraid of snakes and insects without legs, and even dare not touch earthworms. Brother Daqing, do you belong to the latter type?" Gao
Fei guessed.
"It's not that I'm afraid, I just feel uncomfortable when I see the twisted and squirming worm inside..." Wang Daqing reluctantly defended.
"Isn't that different? Stop being so harsh!"
Qi Tian grabbed a small snake, with a mischievous smile on his face, and pretended to throw it at Wang Daqing.
"Xiaotian! Just stop it!" Wang Daqing glared at him angrily.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble! You said you are all quite grown up, why are you still acting like a bunch of little kids? A few little snakes are enough to keep you entertained for a long time... Are you childish?
!”
Ma Tao was holding a cigarette in his mouth and was speechless at the lackluster appearance of his companion.
Ma Yun tiptoed around behind Ma Tao, intending to coil a cold golden snake around his neck, but was stopped by Gao Fei in time to prevent the brother and sister from starting to strangle him again.
The Spitfire was also impatient with everyone's stagnation. He stretched his neck to get closer to Ma Yun, and quickly took the golden snake from her hand, swallowing it piece by piece like a piece of powder.
"Well done!" Wang Daqing raised his thumbs to praise the Sparrow, "I have no other intention, I just sympathize with the sparrow, and the Sparrow avenges the sparrow, it's great!"
"Brother Daqing, you don't need to explain it. The more you describe it, the darker it gets." Ma Yun said angrily.
As a bird swarm mutant, Tang Ning could be considered a relative of sparrows. He couldn't bear to see the birds being hunted by swarms of flying snakes, so he sang an "Animal Taming Song".
The group of snakes calmed down, enjoyed the songs, replaced material enjoyment with spiritual food, and ended tonight's hunting operation early.
