Closer to Revealing My True Self

Chapter 688 - 688 444 Just a Suggestion_1

?Chapter 688: Chapter 444 Just a Suggestion_1 Chapter 688: Chapter 444 Just a Suggestion_1 Feng Yi didn’t actually believe that the smell of snake on him had scared away the sea lizards, but since Santos had provided an explanation, it was easiest just to go along with it.

Right, it was the smell of the snake that frightened them away!

Figuring that this side of things would probably take a while, Feng Yi had Ding bring over some portable beach chairs for the officers handling the case.

At the reef, as one sea lizard after another climbed out of the water onto the rocks, Santos and his team observed the creatures. After cautiously testing a few times and seeing the creatures did not flee, the team members sampled them for testing.

“Looks like they fell off a cargo ship, but we still have to wait for the test results to be sure,” team member Gray said.

“Hmm,” Santos didn’t say much, taking the device from the officers and scanning it over the body of the sea lizards.

If these sea lizards had been implanted with identity chips by conservation organizations, their unique identity codes would appear when the device scanned them.

“No chip response.”

“It’s quite possible they’re the product of illegal breeding, which makes the likelihood of them having fallen off a cargo ship even greater.”

Santos handed the scanning device back to the officers and continued to observe the sea lizards closely.

“I remember, after we seized that batch of smuggled animals, a herpetologist said that these artificially bred sea lizards are more delicate. They might not even adapt to their original habitat and would need wildness training. So, what about these few in front of us?”

Santos’s gaze fell on a sea lizard that had just crawled up onto a rock from the sea.

“It’s amazing they can live here so healthily for two or three days! So lively and strong in climbing. If it was just one that could adapt, we might attribute it to individual traits. But when all nine sea lizards are the same, it’s not an isolated case!”

Gray, who was nearby, said, “Perhaps the artificially bred variety is better suited to the environmental conditions here? To them, this might actually be a comfort zone?”

Taking off his suit jacket, Santos looked up at the sunshine, then reached out to feel the temperature of the seawater.

“Maybe. Although they’re both in the tropics, the climate characteristics of the area where the wild population lives aren’t the same as those of Feng Yi’s island.”
