Steve and Feng Yi split up to search for pythons, but they kept in touch the whole time.
The target area was too vast, and the time they spent searching was uncertain. If they were lucky, they could find a python rather quickly; if not, they might search all day without success. They would traverse longer distances, which meant that if an emergency occurred, it wouldn't be easy to immediately know the other's situation. Besides, they had GPS and location sharing, so they could roughly tell where the other was.
"You could look for shed snake skin. If you find any, then the python is definitely nearby. I'm not having much luck over here, haven't found any large python skin sheddings. How about you?" Steve asked.
"I haven't made any significant discoveries here either," Feng Yi said nonchalantly, poking around the grass and branches with a stick in his hand.
He actually had no need for these tools, but he had to keep up appearances and not seem too out of the ordinary.
