Chapter 347: Chapter 257 Precision Positioning_2

Feng Yi solemnly responded, "Alright!"

After leaving the team leader’s office and bidding farewell to the other experts of the task group, Feng Yi, who didn’t meet some in person, directly sent messages in the chat group.

Once he had left the monitoring base, Feng Yi said to Jia,

"Change course, head to higher, less populated areas!"

He wasn’t going into the mountains alone, he was taking someone with him, and it wasn’t deep into the wilderness. He wasn’t ignoring the team leader’s instructions.

Jia didn’t ask any questions and quickly changed course.

During the time they had stayed locally, Jia had already familiarized himself with the nearby routes and could respond quickly based on Feng Yi’s needs.

The path Jia chose had mountain trails, but the branches on both sides of the trail stretched out, causing some obstruction, yet one could barely push a little farther forward.

Feng Yi just needed a less crowded place, not necessarily deep inside a remote mountain ravine.

After the car drove up the mountain for a while and couldn’t go further, Feng Yi got out of the car.

"Stay here, I’ll be back in a while," Feng Yi told Jia.

"Sure thing, boss!"

After getting out of the car, Feng Yi looked around and then quickly headed to a spot he had chosen.

The spot he chose was at the top of the mountain, with an unobstructed view all around, and no other people nearby.

This location was suitable for casting spells... no, it was suitable for tracking and locating!

He wanted to try out the precise tracking ability he had just learned from decoding the ancestral DNA at the rocky island.

It’s not that he could do long-distance precise tracking right now, with his current ability, he could only know roughly where the target was.

However, when everyone else was clueless, this "rough" estimate could play a crucial role.

Behind the sunglasses, his pupils shrunk into vertical lines.

Feeling the energy matter distributed in the high altitude, he awakened it, activating it from its dormant state.

The so-called new tracking ability simply uses the energy matter widely distributed in the high altitudes to scan the ground on a large scale.

During this process, active factors still present in living organisms would respond.

Just like radar uses electromagnetic waves to detect objects by emitting waves, receiving, and processing signals.

Of course, unlike radar, Feng Yi’s tracking method was a form of energy resonance.

The active factors within living organisms would resonate and produce a signal, and then find the target object.

Due to the activity of the energy matter in the high altitudes, the clouds in the sky began to change gradually.

Jia, who stayed on the mid-mountain road, looked at the changing clouds in the sky.

He didn’t know what Feng Yi was doing up the mountain, but he figured it must have something to do with finding that lost little python.

The wind in the mountains picked up.

The branches and dense grass and leaves rustled as they were blown.

The insects in the woods disappeared at some point, having found leaves to rest on or hide under.

The chirping birds fell silent in unison.

At the mountain top.

Feng Yi’s brain was operating at high speed.

Processing various sensory signals was basic for the brain. Not everything was reliable, but this was manageable.

However, with his limited ability at the moment, the range Feng Yi could perceive through this method was also limited, roughly covering two provinces. Areas beyond two provinces’ distance were outside the "locating" range.

Feng Yi saw those energy connection lines produced by energy resonance, stretching vertically between heaven and earth.

One end of the connection line was connected to the energy matter high above, while the other end connected to organisms with active factors in their bodies.

Organisms that had come into contact with those active factors within the past two to three months could resonate with the energy at this moment. Any longer, and those active factors would have dissipated.

That little python definitely had those active factors in its body since Feng Yi had transferred them to it when it hatched to increase its chances of survival.

Therefore, among the energy connection lines that Feng Yi could see now, one of them might be the little koi, unless it was beyond the range and could not be located.

Feng Yi observed those energy connection lines.

Each line represented the life information of that kind of organism, different in color and varying in thickness and intensity.

There were humans, and there were animals.

Some were familiar, and others were strangers.

Those nearby, like Jia.

Those far away, like the household steward in Yang City.

Having molted several times at home, the active factors on the steward and others wouldn’t disappear so quickly.

And the fish in the home pond.

The rocky island area farther away was beyond the perceptible range, completely lacking a "signal."

Feng Yi extended his hand, and as his fingers moved, he drew the connection lines closer or deleted them.

First, he deleted the energy lines representing people.

He also deleted those representing plants.

What remained...

This one wasn’t it, delete.

These are all fish, delete!

A kingfisher? Delete!

Oh, here!

A bright line, "the signal" is very strong!

It’s the little python!

Bring the energy line closer, sense and analyze it separately.

Uh?

Is it actually heading this way?

The moving speed, it must be a vehicle.

Someone is bringing the little python in this direction!

No, rather, their likely target is the sparsely populated mountains or the border!

In the country, the target is too obvious, but once out of the country, it becomes much easier to handle.

If they’re heading for the border, they’d have to cross the province where Feng Yi is now, based on the shortest route.

Therefore, Feng Yi’s position might be very close to the thief’s route.

If that’s the case...

Intercept! Arrange!

At this time, four to five hundred kilometers away from Feng Yi’s location.

In an ordinary private car.

"Is the merchandise still okay?" the driver asked.

The person in the back seat took a look inside the box after opening the lid.

"It’s fine!"

The car windows were tightly shut, and the person in the back wasn’t worried about the snake escaping, given the limited mobility of such a small python.

Opening the box lid, he grabbed the little python and watched it coil around his hand.

"I saw a video online where the python was so tiny when it hatched from the egg, and now it’s grown so fast. Huh, it’s got some strength," the person in the back said.

The driver snorted with laughter, "Of course, well-fed and well-cared for. This one’s a money-maker for the zoo. Different value, requires good service!"

Glancing at the back seat through the rearview mirror, the driver remarked, "Be careful, this one has a nasty temper."

The person in the back replied unconcernedly, "So what if it’s nasty? I’d be wary of anything over five meters, but a little snake like this? Its killing power is less than that of a kitten, at least a kitten can scratch with its claws! This little snake is just a trinket."

Curious, the person in the back then asked, "I can’t believe there are people who like this stuff, willing to spend a lot of money on it. What’s so good-looking about it? Not even as nice as keeping a koi fish."

The driver’s expression was indifferent, "Maybe because some people just like snakes and think koi can bring luck? Lots of that talk on the internet."

The person in the back asked, "Do you think this little thing can really bring luck?"

The driver just laughed and didn’t answer.

The person in the back seat didn’t expect a response, continuing to watch the little snake flicking its tongue at him:

"Little koi, right? Start changing my luck... Ah!"

"What’s wrong?" the driver asked.

"It bit me!"

The driver chuckled, "I told you, this snake isn’t big, but it has a fierce temper, that’s what the zoo people said."

"It’s nothing, just a nibble from a small snake."

The person in the back put the little python back in the box and closed the lid. Although slightly angry about the bite, thinking of the money it would bring him quickly extinguished the anger.

He smiled and nonchalantly wiped his hand with a tissue.

It’s not venomous, after all, what harm could it do?

The car continued on the road.

The driver listened to the news on the radio, and after a while, heard no movement from the back seat. He had glanced back just a moment ago and seen the person looking like they were resting against the seat back, so he hadn’t spoken.

But checking the time, it was time to find a place to eat and then switch drivers.

"Where should we eat in a bit? Look it up on your phone."

After waiting a moment, there was no response.

The driver raised his voice and asked again.

Still no response.

Listening carefully, there seemed to be urgent breathing sounds.

Something was not right!

The driver pulled over at the nearest safe spot and looked toward the back seat.

At this time, the person in the back was breathing rapidly, their face flushed, showing obvious fever.

Although unsure why this sudden change had occurred, it was clear that his companion was not in good shape and it could be life-threatening.

He needed to find a hospital or a clinic immediately!

It wasn’t that he felt any strong camaraderie; it was purely because he couldn’t handle the delivery alone.

If this situation had happened after the delivery and payment, he would have definitely left the person in a remote place without hesitation!

But at this moment, before the delivery, while they were still rushing, he couldn’t possibly act alone. He needed his accomplice for cover and had to constantly monitor the "merchandise" for the buyer didn’t want a dead snake.

Having no choice, he could only stop at a place temporarily and then called the employer:

"We won’t be able to make it to the designated place at the planned time; we’ve had a little... mishap."
