Chapter 480 Artificial Food Chain
Under the single-plank bridge, both sides are densely covered with snakes, thick and thin, long and short.

The thickest ones are as thick as an arm, and the longest ones reach nearly three meters, and the number is astonishing, conservatively estimated to be at least a thousand.

This scene made everyone break out in a cold sweat, and goosebumps formed on their arms.

In such a scene, not to mention that no one fell, even if there was, it would have been swallowed up long ago.

"Hiss..."

The sound of thousands of snakes uttering letters sounded.

Everyone hurriedly looked at their feet and the surroundings. With such a huge number, one or two would climb up if they were not kept in order. No one wanted to be bitten.

"It's not right." Xiao Feng frowned and said, "There are so many snakes, what are they eating, besides, why isn't one crawling up from the ground?"

Zhao Guoan added: "Also, snakes have the habit of hibernating, but you see, the snakes down here are very active, and they don't seem to be hibernating at all."

Everyone was silent, obviously no one could give an answer.

At this moment, there was only a "thumping" sound, as if some animal took off.

Everyone looked along the source of the sound, and saw a snake climbing up, which was directly bitten by the sharp-billed animal that swooped down from mid-air, and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.

"This is... an eagle?" Keiaki Fujiwara asked with some uncertainty.

Xiao Feng shook his head and denied, "Eagle doesn't look like this."

"Shouldn't we find some unknown creature?" The little girl said excitedly.

Xiao Feng knocked the little girl on the head: "Don't talk nonsense, just because you don't know her, doesn't mean she never appeared before."

After being silent for a while, Lin Zhiyan gave the answer: "It seems to be a hornbill, one of the natural enemies of snakes. Do you remember the characteristics of that bird just now?"

While recalling, Lu Yao said: "The upper part is black, the tail is white, the mouth is sharp and curved, and there is an orange-red bump on the head, which looks like wearing a "steel helmet." "Same."

"I remember that the bird's lower beak was milky white, which was a different color from the upper beak," Lin Jiaxuan added.

Lin Zhiyan nodded and said with certainty: "The two-horned hornbill is a large bird, and it should be cherished and protected."

At this time, Su Yuzhuo suddenly said: "Do you think it is possible that this is the case..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at him in unison, waiting for him to express their thoughts.

Su Yuzhuo frowned slightly, and said, "These snakes should have been artificially placed below, and the two-horned hornbill is probably the same.

When snakes cannot find food, they can devour their own kind to survive. Although hornbills are the natural enemy of snakes, they can kill elephants if there are too many ants.

Seeing so many snakes, I'm afraid I dare not rush down easily. "

Lin Zhiyan took over the conversation and said: "So, you want to say that this is a man-made food chain, where snakes eat snakes, and the occasional outliers are swallowed by hornbills.

Can't get enough to eat, but can't starve to death? "

I have to say that this brain hole is big enough.

It's so big that it makes people feel unconstrained, or unreal.

"Isn't that right?" The little girl questioned, "Animals are not humans, so if so many snakes climb up together, no matter how powerful the hornbill is, they won't be able to catch them all in a while, right?

Moreover, even if this circular chain exists, it is extremely unstable, and there will be many uncertain factors, which can break the balance at any time. "

Lu Yao nodded and added: "That's right, for example, the speed of reproduction, once one side widens the gap, it's almost not far from the time of collapse."

"I'm just making a conjecture, and no one can be sure about it." Su Yuzhuo said expressionlessly, "However, it is certain.

The snakes now, like the ones we walked through, are at least half man-made. "

Xiao Feng interjected: "No matter what it is, it depends on the current situation. The snakes below may not come up. The only question is, do hornbills attack humans?"

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Lin Zhiyan.

Lin Zhiyan spread her hands together: "Don't look at me, I only remembered that it was a hornbill when I saw the animal world by accident, and I don't know anything else."

"Why do you watch the animal world?" Xiao Feng asked suspiciously.

"..." Lin Zhiyan.

Why is this guy's focus always so strange?

Zhao Guoan changed the topic and said: "Since we don't know whether hornbills attack humans or not, then we will plan for the worst. After all, this single-plank bridge is 50 meters long. If we are halfway there and are suddenly attacked, it is not a joke. "

Everyone nodded in agreement, this is indeed a problem.

"How about finding a way to get rid of the hornbill first?" Master Jiu said tentatively.

Xiao Feng immediately asked back: "The natural enemy is gone, what if the snake below climbs up?"

Everyone is in a bit of trouble, but they probably know that the balance between the snake and the hornbill cannot be broken, otherwise it will only be themselves who will suffer.

For a while, the problem seemed to fall into an endless loop, like dominoes, knocking down one piece would cause a chain effect, affecting the whole body.

Xiao Feng looked up, trying to find something that could be used as a binding point.

If there is, maybe you can just grab the rope and swing there like a swing.

However, the evil crypt designer obviously didn't intend to leave any loopholes for intruders. The top is not high from the ground, but it is very smooth, and there is no thing that can bind it.

Lu Yao thoughtfully said: "We might as well think about the problem from a different angle, such as software programming, no matter how clever the designer is, he can't guarantee that the program will not have bugs, so the person who designed this crypt must not be perfect."

"The theory is correct, but this analogy is inappropriate." Xiao Feng said with a smile: "For example, when we play games, why there are bugs is because the person who designs the game must ensure that the players who play the game have a chance to pass the level."

"Brother Yanhuang, what do you mean, if the person who designed the game thought from the very beginning that no one could pass the level, then there would be no bugs?" Lu Yao said with a frown.

Xiao Feng shook his head: "No, at least the person who designed the crypt must let those who have to clear the level pass the level. As for the way to clear the level, it is definitely not so easy to find."

Su Yuzhuo smiled wryly and said: "The key is that the game can be saved, and even if you die, you can reload the file, but if you die in reality, you are really dead. We can't use our lives to test the fault tolerance rate."

"No matter how much analysis there is, it's better to try it out yourself." Xiao Feng said in a deep voice, "I'll go and try it out first."

"It's too dangerous!" The little girl said immediately, "I don't agree!"

Before Lu Yao and the others could make a statement, Xiao Feng said first: "It's no way to scare yourself all the time. When I walk on the single-plank bridge later, you hold me with a rope. If it doesn't work at the critical moment, pull me back. That's it."

"But……"

Xiao Feng said decisively: "It's nothing but, it's impossible not to take risks, at least if I step on the thunder, the chance of surviving is higher than everyone else's."
