887 A Strange Place

“Mr. Lin, are you sure you want to eat that snake?”

The cameraman asked fearfully.

“Yeah, I’m sick of eating dry biscuits and canned food every day,” Lin Yi said.

“There are quite a lot of snakes on this island. I wonder if the gorgons lost their hair once they became middle-aged.”

“Then, then wait a moment. Let us move further away.”

The cameraman felt that he had committed a huge taboo.

As a professional cameraman, it was forbidden for him to speak during the filming process.

Otherwise, it would seem unprofessional.

However, around a person like Lin Yi, it didn’t matter if he was professional or not. What was important was his life.

“Alright, all of you stand back. I’ll handle this.”

“Okay, okay, okay.”

Li Jiani, Huang Yunhang, and the cameraman all backed away, putting some distance between themselves and Lin Yi.

However, Zhao Yinian was the only one who stood on the spot and looked at the python on the tree.

“Why are you standing here? Aren’t you afraid of death?”

“It looks familiar to me.”

“Familiar?” Lin Yi was shocked as he looked at Zhao Yinian.

“Little Green, is the snake on the tree called Bai Suzhen, from the Legend of the White Snake?”

“I didn’t mean that. I think I’ve seen this species of snake before.”

“Huh? You’ve seen this kind of snake before? In the animal world?”

“I’m ashamed to say this, but I majored in biology in university. After I graduated, I was discovered by a talent scout, so I became an actor. That’s why I’ve seen a specimen of this kind of snake. I think it’s called a ball python. It’s not poisonous.”

“Not bad. You are able to use what you learned.”

“But it’s a little big. It’s not quite what I learned in books.”

“We’ll talk about this later. Go and set up the pot first. We’ll stew it later.”

“Alright.” Zhao Yinian said.

“But I’m very curious. How are you going to subdue it? This kind of snake is extremely strong. If you’re entangled by it, you might be strangled to death.”

“Then watch from the side. I’ll show you what an expert is.”

Lin Yi took out a scalpel from his waist and glanced at the ball python on the tree.

The next second, he threw the scalpel and accurately stabbed the ball python seven inches away.

The ball python on the tree struggled crazily, but before long, its huge body fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned. This technique was too unbelievable.

“Alright, let’s start cooking.”

Li Jiani and Huang Yunhang took out the small pot from their backpacks.

Zhao Yinian walked towards the ball python, but he maintained a distance of two meters. Clearly, he was still a little afraid.

“Didn’t you just say that it’s a little strange? How so? It doesn’t seem to be a chimera.”

“It’s a little big,” Zhao Yinian said.

“According to the textbooks, the largest snake of this kind is only about 1.8 meters long, but this snake in front of us seems to be more than two meters long.” Zhao Yinian suddenly laughed.

“I don’t think we should eat him. We should take him back and send him to a university’s Department of Biology to study it.”

“Oh?”

Zhao Yinian’s words suddenly highlighted this to Lin Yi. He walked forward and measured the snake. It was at least 2.1 meters tall.

Even if the living environment here was good and allowed it to grow to be so big, it was still suspicious.

Moreover, after three days of travel, Lin Yi realized many things that he had previously ignored.

The snakes, insects, rats, and ants that lived in the forest were relatively large.

This had something to do with good ecology, but there were other reasons that led to this outcome.

This was the amount of oxygen!

Scientific evidence suggested that higher levels of oxygen could lead to larger organisms.

This island might be the best proof of this.

“What are you thinking about?” Zhao Yinian asked.

“It’s fine.” Lin Yi shook his head and prepared to dismember the snake.

Lin Yi’s technique impeccable. He skinned the snake in no time and took out the fresh snake meat.

“Aren’t you moving too fast? You must kill snakes often, right?”

It was not just Zhao Yinian, Li Jiani, Huang Yunhang, and the cameraman were also surprised.

Ordinary people would not have such a clean and efficient technique.

“I’ve never killed a snake before, but I’ve done something like this before.”

“Did you kill pigs in a slaughterhouse?”

“I used to be the department director of the cardiology department in Huashan Hospital. I operated on people every day and even dissected corpses. This is just killing a snake. It’s not a big challenge.”

“You’re the director of cardiology at Huashan Hospital?”

After learning Lin Yi’s other ident.i.ty, everyone was stunned.

Huashan Hospital was one of the most famous hospitals in Huaxia.

It was very difficult to become a department director there.

“Why are you making such a fuss? You’re acting like you haven’t seen the world.”

“It’s mainly because the difference in your current status is too great. It’s a little unbelievable.”

“If I say that I drove Didi in the past, would you find this even more unbelievable?”

“Uh… I won’t believe you.”

“Then don’t say anything. Hurry up and cook. We can finally start eating meat.”

With that, Lin Yi put the snake skin away in his bag.

“This snake skin doesn’t seem to be useful, right? It takes up a lot of s.p.a.ce.”

“I’m going to go back and make my girlfriend a snakeskin handbag. This is all natural.”

Li Jiani was speechless.

Zhao Yinian, “…”

What kind of strange imagination was this!

“Look at the map. How far are we from the wading area?”

“It’ll take about two more days,” Li Jiani said.

The cameraman’s legs trembled. “Mr. Lin, are you really going there?”

Lin Yi nodded. “I’m going to kill a crocodile and make a crocodile skin bag for my girlfriend.”

Li Jiani was speechless.

Zhao Yinian, “…”

“Wait, what are you guys doing?” Lin Yi said.

“I’m using the snake meat for soup,” Li Jiani said.

“But there’s no way you guys can prepare that properly. Everything is being wasted.”

“Let me do it,” Lin Yi said, “Stand aside.”

“A grown man like you can cook?”

“I used to be a chef and I once opened a restaurant. It’s not a problem for me to make snake soup.”

Zhao Yinian and the others were flabbergasted, not knowing what to say.

He had driven for Didi before and was once a chef. He was also the director of the cardiology department at Huashan Hospital.

‘Is there anything else he didn’t do?’

About half an hour later, the fragrant snake soup was ready.

Zhao Yinian and the others were salivating. They hurriedly took a bite and their eyes lit up.

“This is too delicious.”

“What do you think of my chef skills?”

“You’re amazing.”

When the food was ready, the few of them started eating. The cameraman first tried to record a segment before joining them.

They were full of praise for Lin Yi’s cooking.

After the meal, the few of them did not move anymore. They chatted in the tent and prepared to rest.

Zhao Yining stayed with Li Jiani, while Lin Yi and two other men surrounded the two women’s tents in order to protect them.

The journey was uneventful over the next two days.

Even the timid Zhao Yinian had adapted to life in the forest and wouldn’t make a fuss anymore.

The conditions here were a little harsh, but there was not much actual danger.

After all, the program’s name was Wilderness Survival, not Wilderness Tiger Fighter. There was no need to face off against any wild beasts.

Moreover, Zhao Yinian had already pointed out the true intention of the show.

This was just a reality show. Although it sought to display the true essence of wilderness survival, safety was still the utmost priority. If anything went wrong, the leaders of Zhonghai Television would be stripped from top to bottom.

Hence, she was never too worried about safety.

“If we go any further, we’ll reach the wading area. We can’t go any further,” Li Jiani said cautiously.
