Chapter 189: Tracking [30,000 Recommended Votes Plus Update]
The first human to discover the anomaly in this rainforest was a biologist named Harrison.
At this time, he was stalking along with his wife, as well as hired local guides and helpers, tracking something in the rainforest, with a look of deep puzzlement on his face.
In fact, he has been studying forest worms since 1992 and has been going deep into the rainforest to do field research.
Until then, this sensitive and dangerous creature was almost completely unknown.
In 1996, Harrison's wife, wildlife scientist Oriene, joined the chase for the serpent.
The husband-and-wife duo captured and recorded nearly 800 beeples, most of which were named.
In their opinion, the forest worms are the overlords of this rainforest by nature, and no creature can fight them here.
Of greatest interest to Harrison and Orenee is the breeding of the Pythons, so they must put as many radio transmitters into as many Pythons as they can find before the mating season arrives.
It may seem inhumane to force these serpents to swallow these radios, but they are only slightly uncomfortable, as they are able to swallow shorter humans without much effort.
Harrison was chasing a forest snake he named "Diagon" through the satellite, not just Diagon, and he noticed that many of them seemed to be crawling in a certain direction like crazy, as if there was something in that place that was extremely attractive to these forest snakes......
Harrison couldn't help but think of the female snake he named "Diagon", and he used it to study the giant snake up close.
He remembered that after Diag swallowed the capybara, the warm sunlight accelerated the process of Diagon's digestion, and his whole body was swollen, his body was full of gas, and his whole body floated on the surface of the water.
Harrison closely monitored Diagon's movements, waiting for him to regain his slender form before making an arrest.
After a full meal, the forest worm will stand still and wait for digestion.
Two weeks after Diagon digested the feast, the Harrisons' plan to capture them began.
Thankfully, this time Diago was a little tired from his feast and wanted to flee rather than attack, so Harrison didn't have much trouble capturing it, while Orenee put a sock over its head and brought it back to her home.
For their part, the Harrisons were accustomed to being with snakes, numbering each snake they caught and drawing a snake tail as a fingerprint mark for the snake.
It's a much easier job than fighting snakes in the wilderness, but it's the stench of this behemoth that is unbearable.
There is a sweat gland on the body of the forest beetle, and the smell emitted by it is equivalent to the stench of the carrion of an animal that has been sitting for five days. At its peak, the Harrisons lived in captivity with dozens of giant snakes, which was really stinking.
At over 4 meters long, Diago is indeed a large snake, but it is definitely not the longest. No one knows exactly how long the forest worm will grow.
Once the transmitter was registered and placed, Diago was released back into the rainforest.
The Harrisons said goodbye to it for a while, hoping that it would be able to reproduce smoothly.
However, what the Harrisons didn't expect was that when they accidentally used a satellite to track down the forest worms they had marked, they were shocked to find that they were all crawling in the same direction!
This behavior is undoubtedly very inconsistent with the habits of giant snakes like the forest snake, not to mention that the forest snakes they mark are not just the whole of this rainforest......
So, without any hesitation, Harrison, with his wife, Orenie, and the team he had hired, set out to track down the trail of the forest worms.
It can only be said that human beings are extremely arrogant and very curious creatures, and the Harrisons rely on their own familiarity with this rainforest, coupled with modern technology as a guarantee, and even if they encounter danger, they will definitely be able to contact the rescue team as soon as possible, and when the time comes, they will directly drive a helicopter to rescue, do they still have to worry about any accidents?
It's really too stable, Harrison thought with pistancy.
And if he can figure out the secret of the large-scale action of the forest snake this time, maybe he can brush a wave of fame in the academic world again, for scientists, fame means funding, those companies with strong economic strength, absolutely prefer to invest research funds in more famous scientists, even if the scientist has actually become a mascot, but in his laboratory, there are always a lot of talents.
As the group walked, the indigenous guide couldn't help but say, "If we go any further, it will be the real depths of the rainforest, and we will not only be completely disoriented, but we will also encounter more dangerous creatures." ”
Harrison took a look at his positioning system and found that everything was normal, so he said confidently: "Don't be afraid, the current technology is not more than 20 years ago, and in addition to you as a guide, we also have eight skilled and fully armed helpers!" Luis, you're going to keep us safe, right? ”
The majestic man named "Louis" is obviously the leader of this mercenary team, and in South America, where the warlords are fighting, it is the place where all kinds of mercenaries are active.
This time, Louis thought that he had received a very ordinary and not very risky commission, because this commission only required the security of their security depositor, and the identity of the owner of the money was a biologist.
This kind of pure scholar basically doesn't have any enemies, so there is definitely no need to worry about being attacked by humans, since there will be no human attacks, then there is no need to worry about any security issues?
Louis didn't think the animals in the rainforest could pose any threat to their well-armed mercenary squad.
Animals are just animals after all, they may have an advantage in the face of humans in size and strength, but in the face of human weapons, they are the objects of slaughter?
I think that when humans didn't have more advanced weapons, they could become the "terrifying Homo erectus" at the top of the food chain, so now that they have automatic rifles in hand, what else do they need to worry about?
As a result, the team leader Louis gave a reassuring smile and assured biologist Harrison, "Don't worry, Dr. Harrison, our team will definitely keep you safe, and you will definitely be worthy of every penny of your commission!" ”
Harrison nodded in satisfaction, and then said to the offending native guide, "Don't worry, aren't you?" Keep moving! Reality is not a movie, and there is absolutely no such thing as a python disaster! ”
