?Chapter 66: Chapter 63: Can’t Get Tanned_1 Chapter 66: Chapter 63: Can’t Get Tanned_1 The newly captured five-step viper had completed its scientific mission and was then released back into the mountains by Steve. The release site wasn’t far from where the snake was captured.

“Be sure to be careful when releasing the snakes, don’t get bitten.”

Steve also told Feng Yi and the others about his near-miss experience with being bitten during a snake release.

“Every year there are incidents of people getting bitten during releases, regardless of whether the snakes are venomous or not, care must be taken. I won’t even speak of the venomous ones, but with non-venomous snakes like the king ratsnake, especially the larger ones, one careless bite can tear off a chunk of flesh!”

In addition to measuring the snakes’ physical characteristics and various other data, it was also necessary to measure the water temperature and quality. Water samples were collected from the ditches and streams where silver ring snakes and five-step vipers were found, and soil samples were needed as well.

All along the way, regardless of whether snakes were discovered or not, samples had to be taken from many places. Special attention was given to sampling where reptiles were found.

“There used to be many tourists here,” Professor Zhou said, looking at the map in his hands. “There are hotels along the outskirts of the reserve, where people come to escape the summer heat, and in other seasons they would enter the forest to play and enjoy the scenery.”

Professor Zhou had reviewed historical documents and was acquainted with Nan Chong Nature Reserve.

“However, most of Nan Chong Reserve is uninhabited, and even before, only a small part was open to visitors. Even those areas that were opened weren’t ventured into by tourists, as there were even more snakes here before the abnormal climate period.”

In the forest, many snakes are adept at hiding and lying in wait, natural born hunting machines.

Professor Zhou had emphasized many times that when conducting scientific research to find snakes, one must be very patient. As time passed day by day, people in the team really felt the anxiousness of not finding their target.

After entering the forest, you not only have to face the frustration of not finding your target, but also directly confront the power of nature.

The complex terrain and climate of the forest often lead to various meteorological changes in this area.

The erratic winds weaving through the mountains could suddenly lift someone’s hat off their head.
