Chapter 33 Catch the Snake
To put it bluntly, the biggest difference between real snakes and fake snakes is that real snakes can move and bite.

"I know that doing so may result in the captain being bitten by a snake."

Wu Ya didn't wait for others to say that nonsense, and said with a solemn expression: "But we must conduct such an experiment. Before, the captain had been staying in the research center, and there were no problems.

Now he has started to go out on missions and will go out again in the future.Therefore, we must know whether he has the ability to defend or even fight back against the dangers from our world while traveling through time.

Otherwise, if he really traveled outside... If nothing else is said, there are so many cars on the road, is it really possible for him to be hit, right? "

Everyone in the research team understands what Wu Ya means, and this is also one of their recent worries.

Ji Tianqi has not worn a gene lock for a long time, which is one of the prerequisites for harmonious cooperation between the two parties.

Especially for Ji Tianqi.

When he had just greatly increased his skill and had a breakthrough in Nine Yang Kung, he was able to operate on his own to increase his skill.He was very worried about how to explain that his martial arts would not be restricted by the gene lock while wearing it.

This was his trump card for cooperating with the officials, and he didn't want to expose it.

As a result, he found that he was overly worried. After his first operation was successful, the research center never offered to wear a gene lock on him again.

Return the peach.

He is more enthusiastic than before about completing tasks related to the research center, the Security Administration, and even the Heroes Association.

For the research center, not wearing a gene lock on Ji Tianqi for a long time is a decision that requires taking great risks.

Cong Wen could bear the risk of Ji Tianqi accidentally injuring others, or even killing criminals, but he could not bear the risk of Ji Tianqi himself being harmed.

The reason is... Ji Tianqi is mentally ill!

So after Wu Ya finished speaking, he thought about it.

"Prepare some real snakes."

"Yes."

"Remember, it's not poisonous, and the teeth shouldn't be too sharp."

"Don't worry, boss, we know it well. But speaking of it, the stab-proof suit worn by the captain cannot be bitten by ordinary snakes, right?"

"..." Cong Wen then remembered that underneath Ji Tianqi's ancient costume was a creation of modern technology combined with superpowers.

He is also concerned about chaos.

"Stop talking nonsense and do something!"

When everyone starts doing something, things naturally get done quickly.

The pastry chef in the cafeteria of the Abnormal Human Research Center is very good, and the snake-shaped pastry he makes looks different except for the color.

It is said to be a coiled snake, but in the eyes of a normal person, it is actually a big steamed bun.

And it is still made of buckwheat flour, and the overall color is gray-black.

The chopped green onion embedded on top looks very weird because the pastry chef wanted to make it look like snake skin scales.

The weirdest thing is the snake head. Two black dates are used as eyes, but for some reason they are steamed into a pulp.

The only thing worthy of praise is that the pastry chef may have suddenly realized his own level during the making process, so he didn't do anything like a venomous snake spitting messages.

In the eyes of abnormal people, or in the eyes of people in the Abnormal Human Research Center, such as Cong Wen and others...

"It's gray and black, and it's still lumpy. Isn't it a little disgusting?"

"..."

"Send it in first, it's better than nothing." Cong Wen muttered: "Hire another pastry chef, one with a higher level. What is the kind of person who can carve patterns on the ingredients and carve dragons and phoenixes? master?"

"I don't know. I'll ask what it's called."

"You..." Cong Wen took a deep breath and said bluntly: "Just invite one over. If you need it, use it. If you don't need it, just use it to improve the food."

"Good boss."

After purchasing, there are many varieties.

There are pastry snakes from the canteen, pastry snakes from the cake shop, toy snakes from the store in front of the primary school, candy snakes from the supermarket...

And, real snakes from the food market: king snakes, milk snakes, corn snakes, ball pythons...

There are nine in total, all alive and edible.

People in Shenshi don’t like to eat snakes, but occasionally there are people who want to try it out and pursue the southern flavor, so it’s very convenient to buy them.

As these 'props' were sent into the No. [-] training ground one by one, Ji Tianqi, who was in the state of time travel, completely ignored them as before.

Including the nine live snakes that were sent into it, even when they crawled out of the bag.

Ji Tianqi turned a blind eye.

This made everyone in the safe house very worried, although as long as Ji Tianqi remained standing, none of the nine snakes could harm him.

But the dangers that Ji Tianqi will inevitably encounter in similar situations in the future are more than what the Nine Snakes can compare with?
Someone worriedly suggested: "Should we catch all those snakes?"

The chat box was opened. "It shouldn't be necessary. It won't hurt the captain anyway."

"When the captain traveled through time before, we had to put a gene lock on him and let him come back. He would run away on his own."

"At that time, the captain's speed was much slower than now, and he couldn't run at all."

"Thinking about the situation at that time, it's a bit funny, hahaha..."

"Don't talk about what happened before, just talk about now. If the captain keeps ignoring those snakes, those snakes may affect the props we prepare for the captain."

"Yes, I'm worried about this too. How about finding someone to catch the snake?"

"Don't catch!"

Bai Xiuchu's voice was as clear and clear as a wind chime, but she was very decisive at this time. She frowned slightly and spoke forcefully.

"Sooner or later, you will have to pass this level. If the props are destroyed, you can make them again, but if you are not sure whether the captain can cope with real-world crises in the time-travel state, it will be very difficult for us and the captain in the future."

Cong Wen nodded in approval: "No arrest."

As a result, everyone who was not worried looked at the situation in the training ground with worried eyes.

Wu Ya started his mental explanation at the right time.
-
Ji Tianqi, who did not choose among the four sword techniques, began to search the mountains and forests while thinking about the pros and cons of the four sword techniques.

[The training course on wilderness survival skills hasn’t started yet, so we can only use stupid methods to find snakes. 】

Ji Tianqi, who had absolutely no experience in this area, used the stupid method of 'qi induction'.

Relying on his profound skills and the recovery effect brought by Nine Yang Kung, he freely released his inner strength to enhance his own perception.

At the same time, he also took turns using the two light skills of Lingbo Step and Tuxue Wuhen.

On the one hand, he speeds up his travels through the mountains and forests, and on the other hand, he improves his proficiency in these two light arts, in order to achieve the goal of being able to use both at the same time, or even integrate them into one.

Dense mountain forests, rotting weeds and dead leaves have a great impact on Ji Tianqi's ability to sense Qi.

On the open flat ground, the ability to sense a range of 30 meters was compressed to a radius of [-] meters.

But enough.

After searching for it, Ji Tianqi found a snake nest.

"Damn it, what the hell kind of snake is this? Why is it so ugly? It's coiled up in lumps, and it's still gray and black?"

Ji Tianqi had never seen such an ugly snake, but he didn't want to eat it himself, so he suppressed his nausea and grabbed them one by one.

With his current strength, it would be too easy to catch a snake.

A nest of snakes was obviously not enough. Ji Tianqi continued to catch snakes. He had emptied the baggage he carried with him and used it all to hold snakes.

"Why is this kind of snake's body so hard? It doesn't look like a body of flesh and blood. Well...could it be that it has the blood of some mythical beast?"

"Hey, this nest of little snakes looks delicious. The air around them is sweet."

"This kind of snake is too weak. I just grabbed it and it died immediately, and its body was broken immediately. How on earth can it continue to this day in the nature of natural selection?"
-
Inside the safe house.

The eyes of everyone watching Ji Tianqi catch the snake gradually changed from worried to full of smiles.

Especially when Ji Tianqi 'caught' the pastry snake, he smashed it into pieces as soon as he grabbed it, and carefully picked up the 'body' based on the principle of not wasting.

Then, their eyes were filled with worry again.

Because Ji Tianqi finally caught all the fake snakes, there were only nine real snakes scattered everywhere in the training ground.

One of them didn't know what he was thinking. After staring at Ji Tianqi for a while, he climbed over directly.

Everyone's hearts were raised, and they saw that the snake had appeared behind Ji Tianqi, but Ji Tianqi seemed not to notice it.

A trace of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes.

[Still can’t you go out on a mission in a real sense? 】

Except for Bai Xiuchu, she resisted the urge to use the communicator to remind her, shouting in her heart - look back!Look back!team leader!Look back!
It was at this moment that Ji Tianqi seemed to have really heard it, and as if he had such ability in the first place.

Turn around suddenly.

Bending, reaching, grabbing.

A living snake was grabbed by the head by Ji Tianqi. When the snake's body twisted around Ji Tianqi's arm, it was caught by his other hand.

It was obviously a living snake, but it was caught tightly.

And it’s not just this!
Ji Tianqi's eyes were blank, as if he was sleepwalking. As he walked back and forth, he grasped one accurately and his movements were clean and neat.

"Well, these snakes look normal..."

Everyone laughed happily when they heard Ji Tianqi's voice coming from the loudspeaker.

Until, Wu Ya once again proposed a bold idea.

"I think we can use more threatening...props!"
