My Live Life at the Zoo

Chapter 324 The Little Boa Constrictor With Two Heads
Ding Dong!

Ding Dong!

The 1 minute countdown on the task accepting interface has started.

Watching the number decay by the second, Li Xiao became more and more entangled in his heart.

catch?
Still not picking up?

40 seconds!
30 seconds!
When there were only ten seconds left in the countdown, Li Xiao finally came to his senses.

Why do I have to be entangled in rewards and punishments?

At the beginning, the system had already reminded him that he had broken into the range of a rare animal that was dying, thus triggering this special task that had never appeared before.

And isn't my original intention of going deep into the primeval forest to meet more rare animals and plants and save more endangered species?

If it was only because of the fear of being punished for not completing the task, the cards and items obtained from the six gold draws were deducted, and the endangered animal that was dying and waiting to be rescued...

Wouldn't that put the cart before the horse?

Hasn't my original intention been broken?

and so……

To his punishment!
To his deduction!
I don't care at all!
What's more, if you haven't tried it yet, how can you know that you will fail?
When there were only three seconds left in the countdown to accept the mission, Li Xiao finally chose to accept it in his heart.

Whether it succeeds or not, try it first!

The task has just been accepted, and the next second, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.

【Ding!Special time-limited tasks are triggered and accepted! "

[The first stage task: search! 】

[Mission Description: Ask the host to quickly search and find this endangered animal within 10 minutes!
The shorter the time, the greater the reward.

Rewards will be sent when all tasks are completed.

If the host has completed the first phase of the task but not the follow-up tasks, then I am sorry, no matter how well the first phase of the task is completed, the reward will not be sent, and the six gold reward items will also be deducted as punishment.

Note: The animal is no more than 200 meters away from the host! 】

???

Phase one mission?

According to the system's statement, that is, there are tasks in the second and third stages?

But the task of this first stage is really simple, just need to find this dying animal.

It seems that my worries just now were really unnecessary!
"call!"

Li Xiao let out a long breath of relief.

I thought how difficult this special task was, but I didn't expect it to be so simple.

What's more, the system also reminded me that this endangered animal is within a radius of 200 meters centered on me, so isn't this mission reward just for free?
Time was limited, so Li Xiao didn't waste any time. He decisively took out a bright flashlight from his pocket, and confidently began to search nearby.

Although it was getting dark now, Li Xiao was not afraid at all, on the contrary, excitement and excitement filled his whole body.

Can……

Searched around and found nothing.

two laps...

Still nothing.

Looking at the time again, half of it has passed.

At this moment, Li Xiao finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

What the hell is this endangered animal?
What does it look like?
What is the body shape?

If it is like a chameleon, it is a natural hidden expert, and 10 minutes is not enough to find it by yourself!

Just now, I have searched the open space within a radius of 200 meters as carefully as possible, and found no trace of any animals.

In other words, this endangered animal is likely to be small, or very good at hiding, or not on the ground at all.

Is it...

This endangered animal tree?

Li Xiao squinted his eyes, shone the flashlight on the surrounding tree crowns, and searched carefully again.

At the same time, he called Guo'er to hover in mid-air to help him find it.

However, after a lap, there was still nothing.

The woods with a radius of 200 meters are relatively sparse. There are no nests for birds, and there is no small hole in the trunk. Therefore, small animals such as squirrels cannot hide in the trunk.

Grandma has a leg!
Could it be that he hit a ghost?

It is clearly near here, but why can't I find anything after several rounds of searching?

Seeing the passage of time bit by bit, Li Xiao's previous excitement and excitement had been swept away.

How to do?
Is this endangered animal really hiding under the soil?
Do you still have to dig three feet into the ground?

"Woooo!"

At this moment, Xiao Hei, who had been resting under the big tree, stretched, yawned, and slowly got up.

Xiao Hei: Nothing!Still have to look at mine!follow me!
I saw Xiao Hei sniffling, smelling the ground again, and then quickly ran towards Shunlin to the west.

Did Xiao Hei find out? ! ! !

Li Xiao's eyes lit up, and he followed quickly.

Soon, Xiao Hei stopped under a big tree.

Before Li Xiao got close, it had already fiddled with it with its big furry paws.

Li Xiao, who was following up, took a fixed look.

Among the layers of fallen leaves, there was a white soft-shelled egg that was a little bigger than a grown man's fist.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the first phase of the mission: Search! 】

That's it!

Li Xiao's little heart, which was about to jump into his throat, finally fell down.

The egg was completely buried by the thick fallen leaves, and the sky was completely dark. The brightness of the glare flashlight was very high, but the range of exposure was very limited. No wonder I wandered around several times and didn't find it at all.

The most important point is that the branches of the trees here are scurrying around, so there is no place to set foot under the trees. I came here because I couldn't stand firmly, so I didn't check carefully.After all, it was because I was a little careless.

This time, it was really thanks to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei's keen sense of smell was able to catch the smell in the air that Li Xiao couldn't detect at all, which helped a lot.

Li Xiao stared at Xiao Hei: Since you can help, why didn't you do it earlier?
Xiao Hei also responded to Li Xiao with his eyes: The protagonists are the last to appear on the stage!
Grass!
Damn it's just to pretend!
One person and one dog make eye contact, just like Zeng Xiaoxian and Lu Ziqiao in "Love Apartment".

Have a heart.

This also prevents confusion and shock for visitors to the studio.

Before Li Xiao could be happy, the system sounded again.

[Special and special time-limited mission Phase [-]: Rescue! 】

[Task description: The animal cub trapped in the egg is already very weak. The system detects that the current life breath inside is less than [-]%. If there is no external force to help, within half an hour, the inside will be Animal pups just rip off.

Ask the host to save him alive before his breath of life completely disappears! 】

Good guy!
Less than ten percent?
Hearing what the system said, Li Xiao's eyes almost popped out.

According to the system, he has half an hour to deal with the tasks in the second stage.

This is more and more, and less is really less.

After all, who knows if there will be another accident during the next period, which will cause the life of the cub inside to flow away quickly?

Can't hesitate any longer!

Li Xiao immediately unloaded the backpack on his body and started "rescue"!
Just now Li Xiao searched repeatedly in the woods, and the tourists in the live broadcast room realized what he was looking for.

At first, he thought that Li Xiao had accidentally lost something, and was worried about delaying things, so he didn't ask any more questions.

But now, after seeing that with the help of Xiao Hei, Li Xiao actually dug out an egg from the pile of fallen leaves under the tree, the curious tourists in the live broadcast room finally couldn't help asking questions.

"Director, were you looking for this egg just now?"

"How do you know there are eggs around?"

"What kind of egg is this?"

"Why buried in fallen leaves and not in a nest?"

"Since the eggs are here, are there any beasts nearby?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a python egg. As for what kind of python it is, we will have to wait until it hatches to find out."

While looking at the public screen, Li Xiao answered again and again, while he was busy with the movements of his hands, quickly rummaging through the backpack for tools.

"As for why I know there are eggs here, I really don't know. I just accidentally dropped something just now and was looking for it nearby.

Xiao Hei rushed out suddenly, I thought it had found it, but who would have thought it found the egg.

Maybe it's just luck. "

Li Xiao told a white lie.

You can't tell the truth that you heard the system's prompt, right?
Readers who read novels will believe this system, but tourists who watch live broadcasts will not believe it!

What Li Xiao said was reasonable and reasonable, and the tourists in the live broadcast room chose to believe it one after another.

"I've had a similar experience."

"That's how I picked up my cat! I didn't plan to go out that day, but I went downstairs to throw a trash by accident, and I met my cat!"

"I also lost a key at home. I searched for half an hour, but couldn't find it. I was tired and out of breath, so I gave up. As a result, when I was looking for old photos a month later, I found it easily. found it."

"Sometimes the more you want to find something, the more difficult it is to find. On the contrary, the more you don't look for it, or look for other things, there will be unexpected gains."

"This thing is like a lottery! I have found a lot of money to draw a lottery, but I can't get anything, but others just draw it casually, and they get it!"

"Metaphysics! Believe it or not!"

"Director, is there a small python in this egg?"

"Is the little python about to hatch?"

Seeing that the tourists in the live broadcast room finally got to the point, Li Xiao replied, "There is indeed a small boa constrictor inside...but the situation of the small boa constrictor is probably not very good."

While speaking, Li Xiao had already taken out small scissors, tweezers and other tools from his backpack. In order to ensure enough warmth, he immediately built a bonfire, and finally reached out to hold the python egg buried in the fallen leaves.

It's just that Li Xiao frowned as soon as he got the egg.

This feel...

wrong!

Generally speaking, the eggshells of python eggs are of that tanned leather texture, delicate, smooth and elastic.

However, as soon as this egg was picked up, Li Xiao's first feeling was: dry!hard!

On a healthy python egg, these two situations must not occur.

At this time, the egg was dry and hard except for the side that was tightly buried deep in the fallen leaves, which still maintained a little soft feeling.

The most direct consequence of drying is that the eggshell hardens, making it impossible to provide sufficient oxygen to the small boa constrictor in the egg.

At this moment, Li Xiao instantly understood why the life breath of the little boa constrictor in the egg was not even [-]%.

Lack of oxygen! ! !

Without any hesitation, Li Xiao directly unscrewed a bottle of pure water and poured it on his hands, and began to carefully smear it on the eggs.

However, this softening speed is too slow.

In addition, it is night now, and the temperature will drop sharply. As water is sprinkled on the eggshell, the overall temperature of the egg will drop, which is very unfavorable for the hatching of the small boa constrictor.

It is equivalent to pushing it from this water and fire to another water and fire.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiao decided to take the risk.

That is to cut a small hole in the eggshell!
Of course, the risks of doing so are also great.

But in the face of the little boa constrictor whose breath of life was dropping rapidly, Li Xiao really had no choice.

The first step is to attach the spotlight to the eggshell.

In this way, you can find a place where the eggshell will not hurt the two little guys, so that it is easy to cut.

however……

As soon as he pasted the spotlight on it, Li Xiao was stunned.

what's the situation?
What is this stuff?
I saw a slender figure inside the eggshell, like a rope, which was normal, but there were actually two small heads on top of the figure.

One body, two heads?

A snake with two heads?
Are you kidding me?
When he saw it for the first time, Li Xiao thought he was wrong.

However, after careful identification, Li Xiao was [-]% sure that there was indeed a small boa constrictor with two heads inside the eggshell.

No wonder when I saw it before, I felt that this egg seemed to be bigger and heavier than a normal python egg.

At that time, I thought that the little snake in the egg was too big and well developed.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a two-headed snake!

It was at this moment that Li Xiao finally understood that this egg would appear in the fallen leaves.

Must have been abandoned by the mother python.

The python mother also noticed that there was a two-headed snake inside the eggshell, and the chance of the two-headed snake surviving was very small, so there was no need to waste time on it.

In fact, it was the first time Li Xiao encountered a double-headed snake. In order to give it enough oxygen, it became more difficult to break the egg and open the window.

Because the body of the little snake inside is fairly well-developed, and with two heads, it almost fills up the space inside the egg. If you cut it open with scissors, once the little snake inside the egg is frightened, it will struggle a little bit. , the sharp tip of the scissors may scratch the snake's body.

For the little boa constrictors that were about to break out of their shells, this seemingly insignificant injury would kill them!

No!

No scissors!

Li Xiao hesitated for a while, and finally put down the scissors, chose a more delicate surgical blade, quickly tore open the package, and took out a surgical blade from the disinfection box.
