Chapter 859 Flying Snakes on the Island

After passing the whirlpool area, 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 in the sky, and the river surface was shimmering.

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

Everyone could squeeze in on the boat, or they could set up a campsite on the island for the night, where the sleeping place would be more spacious.

Since there were three ladies in the team, it was not very convenient to sleep in a hammock in the cabin with the men.

After some discussion, everyone decided to camp on the island, one tent per person, which would be more comfortable to sleep.

Everyone left the boat and went to the island. Pep chanted a spell to shrink the boat, put in the star disk, and led the turkey in front to lead the way.

The part of the island exposed above the water is about 100 acres, with 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 was higher, the vegetation was sparse, the view was wide, and it was more suitable for camping.

The island was overgrown with vegetation and there were no ready-made roads. Pep waved a machete and cleared the way in front.

Gao Fei and his party followed him and walked up the gentle slope.

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

When they were almost at the top of the slope, the chirping of birds became more and more intense.

Hundreds of sparrows flew from one tree to another like crazy, and the vague figures shuttled back and forth in the forest, and sometimes they flew up collectively, like dark clouds circling in the night sky.

Pep and Tang Ning, who were walking in front of the team, stopped one after another, looking at the frantic birds in the forest, thinking.

"Sister Tang, what happened?" Gao Fei walked up to ask.

"The birds are very excited, this is not normal." Tang Ning replied in a low voice.

"Are they frightened by us outsiders?" Gao Fei asked.

"With just a few of us, the birds on the island wouldn't be scared like this." Tang Ning shook her head gently, "Based on my experience, the birds either sensed the coming of the typhoon or were fleeing from their natural enemies..."

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

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

Ma Yun widened her eyes in surprise, waved her hand to release the "Dancing Light Technique", and four balls of light floated up into the air, illuminating the treetops.

Sure enough, many green snakes about one meter long were flying on the branches of the dense rainforest, preying on birds.

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

They first compress their flexible bodies into springs, then suddenly eject, stretching their bodies in the air, and swinging their tails in an S shape, like a rudder, to flexibly adjust the direction.

What's even more amazing is that when the little snake glides, it will stretch its muscles and bones, flatten its body like a leaf, and make full use of the buoyancy of the air to float longer in the air and glide farther. While gliding at high speed, it bites birds and sparrows, showing superb hunting skills that are both fast and accurate.

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

"You guessed right, they are indeed called flying snakes, but they are not mutant creatures." Tang Ning replied with a smile, "This kind of snake has no supernatural powers, nor can it really fly, it is just good at gliding. There are many of them in the rainforest of Irian Island, and they are also called 'golden flower snakes'."

"Oh! I knew it when you mentioned golden flower snakes." Qi Tian patted his forehead, "This kind of snake can also be found in the south of China. It seems to be a protected animal. As for its level, I don't know, Xiaoyun, do you know?"

"It has been included in the 'Three Haves List'. Although it is not legal, some people still like to keep this kind of reptile pet... Generally, no one cares." Ma Yun answered lightly.

At this time, a flying snake landed on a lower branch, weighing down the branch.

Gao Fei walked closer to observe and found that the flying snake's back was dotted with dark golden spots. Against the backdrop of the green snake scales, it reflected the moonlight and was extremely gorgeous. No wonder it is called the "golden flower snake".

Gao Fei wanted to play with this beautiful little snake in his hands, but for safety reasons, he still had to ask Tang Ning in advance: "Sister Tang, is the golden flower snake poisonous?"

"The poison is very mild and will not cause much harm to humans."

Gao Fei was relieved and picked up the little snake from the branch. It felt cool to the touch.

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

"Hey! You two, why are you playing with snakes when you have nothing to do!" Wang Daqing couldn't help but warn them, "Whether it is poisonous or not, don't you feel disgusted when you put this thing in your hands?"

"Such a small snake, it looks pretty, what's there to be afraid of?" Jiang Feng saw Wang Daqing's nervous face and asked in surprise, "Brother Daqing, you are not afraid of snakes, are you?"

"Uh...normal people are afraid of snakes, don't get close to me! Just watching them twisting from a distance, I got goose bumps all over my body!"

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng looked at each other.

I never thought that the tall and mighty Wang would be frightened by a small snake and retreated repeatedly. 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 Fei guessed.

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

"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 and was speechless at his companion's lackluster appearance.

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. Sparrow avenges the sparrow. It's great!"

"Brother Daqing, you don't need to explain, the description is getting darker and darker." Ma Yun said angrily.

As a bird swarming mutant, Tang Ning could be considered a relative of sparrows. He couldn't bear to see the birds being hunted by large groups 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.
