Chapter 370 Giant Unidentified Land Creature
Hawaii, Oahu, Pearl Harbor.

Magnesium Naval Military Base.

Spacious military takeoff and landing runway.

Three men and two women are meeting here.

All five of them were wearing black special combat uniforms, and they looked well-trained. With backpacks and equipment in their hands, they walked all the way to the runway, where a V-22 tilt rotor aircraft, the famous Osprey helicopter, was parked.

The leader is none other than the black Aaron Brooks.

He greeted everyone to enter the belly of the Osprey one by one.

The rear hatch is slowly closed.

The giant propellers on both sides of the Osprey helicopter began to rotate rapidly towards the sky, and lifted the huge thing off the ground and slowly lifted into the air, flying out of Pearl Harbor and Oahu Island.

At this moment, the Kolau Mountains on the south coast of the island are different from those calm deep-water harbors. The coast covered with black reefs is always slapped and eroded by raging waves.

Ospreys flew overhead.

The black gold power armor that has been hiding in the reefs, the wings on the flying back automatically unfold, the turbine spins loudly, and white flames are ejected from the tail, and it also takes off with the Osprey, flying very low, almost touching The waves fly.

……

The Osprey flew all the way to the depths of the sea.

Fu Qinghai followed him all the way.

Two hours later.

The sky gradually turned from sunny to dark, and there was a drizzle of rain on the sea, ticking and hitting the sea, the Osprey helicopter flew high in the sky, and Fu Qinghai stuck to the sea.

The waves are getting rougher, and the storm is approaching.

Fu Qinghai is very clear: Skull Island is coming soon.

According to the settings of the monster movie universe, this island is one of the key nodes connecting the earth's core world. Perhaps because of some kind of energy effect or special geographical phenomenon from the earth's core world, it is surrounded by strong storms all year round. Before humans launched low-Earth orbit satellites, they had never discovered the existence of this island.

The huge hurricane on the sea and the dark clouds in the sky are connected as one, raging and roaring endlessly. As the aircraft and power armor approached the storm area, the drizzle gradually turned into a violent storm, crackling and hitting the metal shell , In the torrential rain and clouds, the light of lightning faintly lit up.

The Osprey plunged headlong into the gray storm.

Fu Qinghai also rushed into the hurricane.

……

Aaron looked at everyone in the cabin and said:
"This is a new team, but everyone is the elite of the Emperor Organization, the monster hunters of the new era, the destination of this operation - Skull Island, the top secret of the Emperor Organization, not an outing of the Boy Scouts, we must be careful. "

If Fu Qinghai heard what he said, he would definitely complain in his heart:
monster hunter?Can you stop a dragon car with a big sword? Are you a monster hunter?

"I know, I know, Brooks, we don't need a spirit call."

A man with his back behind him said nonchalantly.

The person who spoke was Yevgeny Medov, an expert in cracking secrets and proficient in various ancient cipher institutions.

"Take it easy, Aaron is right. He took a great risk to let us participate in his father's mission. Facing a place like Skull Island, although the headquarters has tacitly approved our actions, we still Be careful."

Evelyn Metmeiwe chimed in.

She is a doctor of medicine and philosophy.

"I totally agree with you, I don't regret taking part in this operation, no matter how dangerous it was, but what about you, Aaron? I feel like you'll have to convince yourself."

said a man with a beard.

With that, he put his arms around Aaron's shoulders.

This is Walter R. Rioch, mythologist, linguist, high IQ, fluent in five foreign languages.

"Humph."

Aaron Brooks snorted and said:

"My father, and the Emperor organization, they want to keep Skull Island as a secret forever... But fuck it, I will not hand over matters related to the survival of human beings to a mutated big black monkey , humans have the right to know the existence of Skull Island, and I must see with my own eyes what the giant orangutan that my father blew into the sky is."

Perhaps influenced by his experience in the Emperor's organization, Aaron Brooks is full of a sense of justice and a sense of mission to be responsible for mankind, and is somewhat pretentious.

A muscular woman with platinum short hair smiled and said:
"Haha, we are now fifteen thousand feet above the Monster Islands, in a military fighter plane that can fly through a hurricane, what is there to worry about?"

This is Helen Carsten, an expert in field survival, a retired naval sergeant, and the pilot was also found by her.

Her voice just fell.

"Boom!"

Thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, and the plane suddenly tilted.

The turbulence in the cabin made everyone stagger.

Fortunately, several of them were well-trained, and they quickly grasped the various handrails in the cabin without falling to the ground.

The Osprey tilted its wings and continued to fly forward.

Everyone just stabilized their figures.

"Boom!"

The plane sank suddenly.

Several people were thrown back and forth again.

Military aircraft are different from civil aviation airliners. The sound insulation effect is very poor. Any bumps and noises outside the aircraft can be heard clearly by passengers inside the aircraft.

"Crack!"

Snow-white lightning strikes almost against the outside of the window.

Everyone in the cabin couldn't help squinting their eyes.

"Aaron, are you sure there is no problem with this route?"

After all, Evelyn was just a scholar, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried when she encountered continuous bumps at the moment, so she asked.

"This is the sailing route recorded in my father's field records. There is absolutely no problem. They entered Skull Island along this route."

Aaron said in a deep voice, his tone was very firm.

It seems to be encouraging his teammates, but also cheering himself up.

At this moment, outside the cabin, there was a strong wind howling, torrential rain, lightning and thunder.Aaron Brooks and the others can follow the route discovered during the last scientific expedition.But Fu Qinghai didn't have these advantages. After diving headlong into the storm, his visibility suddenly decreased, and he soon lost his tracking target, and the eyepiece field of view was full of gray scenes.

However, for Fu Qinghai, the storm area that even large freighters and helicopters can pass through is a piece of cake.Now that they have followed them to find Skull Island, there is no need to follow this group of unlucky bastards and broom stars who all died in the original plot in the subsequent expeditions.

You can explore the island on your own.

Thinking of this, Fu Qinghai didn't try to find the Osprey helicopter again, and the jet pack directly activated the afterburner mode, and a long blazing wake suddenly burst out from the tail nozzle, and disappeared in an instant. The depths of the storm.

The Osprey was still flying wobbly.

Evelyn sat on the seat, holding the cloth belt tightly with her palms, looking out of the window through the narrow window, her brows and eyes were a bit sad, and she was no longer the firm look she had at the beginning.

Suddenly, she saw black clouds and hurricanes...

It seems that there is a white light, which flashes away.

Evelyn blinked quickly.

Looking at it again, there was nothing, as if it was just an illusion.

At this time, Aaron Brooks returned from the cockpit, held the hatch door with one hand and said to everyone:

"Listen up everyone, one last check of your equipment, and once you're out of the storm, you'll be looking for a landing spot."

"After landing, we tried to collect evidence as much as possible, and left immediately after collecting, within 72 hours."

Aaron looked around and said in a deep voice:

"They tried to hide it, but it was clear that they were doomed. The world has a right to know everything about Skull Island."

At this time, the distant sky suddenly began to brighten.

The rain is gradually thinning, and the light shines through the clouds.

"We've passed through the storm zone!"

Pilot Cejudo turned his head and shouted:

"Visibility is good."

Everyone looked out the window one after another.

The coastline is not far away, dotted with towering and lush islands, and the strong erosion of the pure blue high-salt sea water has produced a magnificent carving effect.

The scenery of mountains and seas is beautiful and charming, and the bay is a very typical limestone karst landform. From a distance, it looks a bit like Halong Bay in Vietnam, which is the place nicknamed "Guilin on the Sea".

"There are island legends popping up all over the world: Atlantis, the Far North, Lemuria... and here, Skull Island, is the reality!"

Looking at the beautiful island like a fairyland outside the window, the mythologist Rioch murmured.

Fortunately, it finally came out!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

However, just after entering the volley range of this "fairyland" island, the Osprey was attacked by force.

"It's the Horrified Vulture!"

Aaron Brooks shouts.

Outside the cabin, a large group of flying creatures resembling giant bats surrounded the entire Osprey, flapping their translucent wing membranes, screaming heart-piercingly from their bloody mouths, and were constantly besieging this huge metal creation, which was breathtaking. Horrified, they seemed to have absolutely no fear of death as they scrambled to crash into the Osprey's propeller blades.

Even if the flesh and blood are flying, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"How do you know their names?"

Carsten asked back.

"Nonsense, this is a creature named after my mother, my God, don't tell me that you didn't read the "Cryptozoology" I gave you before boarding the plane!"

Aaron growled angrily.

Evelyn hurriedly took out an illustrated book from her backpack. On the cover it said "Level [-] Confidential of the Emperor's Organization", and "Lin Shan" was written in the author column. This is probably Aaron's mother, and she followed Professor Bill Landa to explore The expedition team members of Skull Island.

Open the book, it says:

Named by the Emperor Organization:: Horror Vulture
Cryptozoological Classification:: Insinian Falcon
Wingspan: 2.74 meters

Boundary: Combergnathus Pterosauridae
Gate: Creeping Spine Hybrid Subgate
Predatory habits: omnivorous
According to biologist Shan Lin:

"Scary Vulture, the absolute ruler of the sky, with a maximum wingspan of up to three meters. Its hard bony structure is covered with soft tissue wings, which spread out like a solid metal blade, easily dealing with the strong winds raging on Skull Island. , the optic nerve of this creature is its weakness. Preliminary studies have found that they have no visual imaging, but later studies have found that they have evolved a unique heat sensor that allows them to detect the temperature of the prey's blood in the night sky. Its slender bones pass through A series of taps or low whines to initiate echolocation also causes the creature to become a mutual threat to its own kind."

The frightened vultures are still rushing to die.

"boom--"

Black smoke and flames burst from the Osprey's propeller.

"Crash landing, we must make a forced landing!"

Pilot Cejudo said loudly.

In case of a forced landing, the integrity of the cabin cannot be guaranteed.

"We skydive immediately!"

Aaron made a decisive decision and spoke to everyone.

Long before boarding the sitting island, they had already arranged all the equipment. At this moment, they only need to put on the bubble helmet and wait for the hatch at the rear of the Osprey to slowly open.

The turbulent wind rushed into the cabin.

"Jump!"

Aaron yelled.

Then the five people filed out of the cabin.

"White clouds" spread out in the sky. The topography of this area is very complex, with alpine forests, cliffs and rifts. Fortunately, they used wing-shaped paragliders instead of round parachutes, and they could tighten the parachute to adjust the direction. Following Aaron, who was the first to skydive, he quickly flew to the top of a cliff.

The Horrified Vulture seemed to have a ferocious habit of challenging large creatures. It kept circling around the smoking and stalling Osprey, ignoring the five small creatures around it.

Several people successfully landed on the top of the cliff.

Thick grass provides a cushion.

Several people quickly retracted the parachute and cut the parachute line with a dagger, and then gathered together, looking out of the cliff together.The field of vision here is very vast, and you can see magnificent mountains and winding rivers, and in the distant sky, there are also a large group of strange creatures with emerald green bat wings soaring.

"Is that the creature that attacked us?"

Rioch asked in shock.

"Do not."

Evelyn shook her head and said:

"Look at their emerald green translucent wing membranes, they are obviously not a subspecies...Let me see, they are called 'Icarus Wings', or 'Leaf Pterosaurs', as recorded in Dr. Lin Shan's book The habits of this creature."

Evelyn then opened the book and read:

"The most obvious feature of the Wings of Icarus is its long nose, which is not only inserted into the top of the head like a thorn, but also covered with fibrous thorns, with a powerful paralytic toxin at the end of the thorns. It is also because of the paralytic toxin that the skeleton The aborigines on the island like to capture the wings of Icarus to make hallucinogenic powder, which they believe can cure mental illness."

After reading, Evelyn closed the book:
"Out of here, they're also very aggressive."

Aaron has been trying to contact the Osprey:

"Cejudo, Cejudo, can you hear me?"

After repeated unsuccessful calls, Aaron couldn't help cursing:
"Damn, the helicopter may have crashed."

"Oh, that's great news."

Medoff rolled his eyes.

Aaron looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:

"Collective report, how is the situation?"

"It could not be better."

Carsten drew a Nepalese army knife from his backpack.

"I sprained my ankle, but it's okay."

Evelyn pressed her ankle and said.

"I really want to leave here immediately, but where should I go?"

Medov looked at Evelyn and asked, before the woman could answer, he looked at the crowd and expressed his thoughts:
"There is no doubt that we should first look for Cejudo and the helicopter. Our supplies and our surveying and mapping devices are all on that plane. Without the helicopter, we can't even leave here and return to the human world."

"He flew over to the southwest."

Carsten added.

It appears she also agrees to look for helicopters first.

"No, we should go find the native tribes first."

Rioch expressed his objection. He turned his head to look at the team leader Aaron Brooks, waved and said:

"There are carnivores everywhere here, we are now lunch, Aaron, we must get in touch with the local aborigines, we need a guide, otherwise it will be difficult to move!"

After hearing this, Aaron said cautiously:
"My father's notes do mention Aboriginal people, but only if they really existed..."

"Look, Rioch, I know you're a mythologist, you want to study the natives, you want to learn their history, I respect you, I mean it."

Medov tried to reason with Rioch:

"But everything we need is on that Osprey. If there is no way to leave here, all research will be meaningless, and the five of us will be finished."

"I'm not making an opinion out of personal interest, Medoff."

Rioch looked very unhappy.

"He's right, Rioch, our pilot may be injured, we can't leave him alone."

Evelyn chimed in.

Seeing everyone arguing, Aaron suddenly felt dizzy.

"Hey, look, what is that!"

Carsten's cry caught everyone's attention.

They turned their heads to look.

"Giggle cluck..."

A low hiss from deep in the throat.

A group of strange creatures that looked like spotted hyenas and velociraptors were slowly swarming towards the cliff.

"Bladeback Jackal!"

Aaron rolled his eyes and exclaimed.

According to the "Journal of Cryptozoology": The spine of this creature grows outwards, covered with fibrous spines, as sharp as iron wire, and its atypical milky white blood is rich in calcium deposits.They attack their own kind for cannibalism, and even cannibalize themselves when there is no prey. They are very ferocious in nature.

Everyone raised their guns.

Carsten, a survival expert and a retired navy, holds a pistol in one hand and a machete in the other, his eyes are fixed on the group of knife-backed jackals in front of him, not daring to look away for a moment, while stepping back step by step, mouth Li said in a low voice:

"Let's go to the cave at seven o'clock..."

The words are not over yet.

"Roar!"

A knife-backed jackal rushed forward.

"Da da da da!"

Everyone pulled the trigger and fired.

However, just like when facing the frightened vultures before, these fierce creatures on Skull Island are completely different from ordinary animals outside. They are not afraid of gunshots, fire, pain...even death!
Small-caliber weapons are difficult to kill them completely. After the knife-back jackal was shot and fell to the ground, it was still limping forward, opening its long sawtooth mouth to bite the air continuously.

"what!"

Carsten, who was standing at the forefront of the line, was surrounded by three or five saberback jackals, biting every part of his body fiercely, and was torn apart in an instant. He only had time to let out a short scream , there is no sound.

Each knifeback jackal held the woman's body parts in its mouth, including arms, thighs, head, and a mass of wet and bloody intestines, swallowing them in big mouthfuls.

The rest of the people screamed in fright.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

This alpine lawn and cliff clearing was empty on three sides. Facing the siege of a large group of knife-backed jackals, there was no defense or shelter to rely on. Aaron quickly ordered to retreat, taking advantage of several knife-backed jackals. Sten's broken body, everyone turned around and ran back in a panic.

The knifeback jackal was chasing after him.

The four fled in embarrassment, rolling and crawling.

Chasing all the way, running all the way, Medov, who ran at the end, was suddenly overtaken by a knife-backed jackal in two steps. The crocodile-like serrated mouth bit his chest, and the sharp teeth stuck into the flesh, causing the man to cry out in pain. Screaming and shooting indiscriminately.

"No!"

Aaron roared and was about to turn around to save his companion.

Suddenly, the jackal with its prey already in its mouth suddenly let go of the man in its mouth. Its turbid yellow triangular eyes stared closely behind Aaron, shivering and trembling on the ground, and then stepped back step by step. go.

The other knifeback jackals also stopped in their tracks.

As if feeling some breath, the knifeback jackals who were chasing happily, either wandered in place or hesitated, the black mane on the back of the neck stood up, the dinosaur-like sharp front claws drooped, and the mouth Let out a low growl of fear.

Aaron's neck was stiff, and he turned his head inch by inch.

There was nothing scary or weird behind him.

There is only one dark and quiet cave.

It was the cave that Carsten was referring to in the first place.

It was also their original retreat target.

"Uh……"

Medov fell to the ground, his chest was bloody, and he let out a painful groan.

His teammate was dying, and he had no time to think. Aaron hurried forward to pick him up, and then threw him on his shoulders. He greeted and led everyone to retreat to the cave.

The knifeback jackals, who were not afraid of death in the face of gunfire, stopped chasing them, but stopped in place one after another, watching them retreat into the cave.

The entrance of the cave is huge and empty, and the interior is deep and tortuous.

The four of Aaron, you support me and I shoulder you, are about to enter the cave. A gust of cold wind blows from the cave. The few people who were sweating profusely were blown by the wind and beat them all together. With a shiver, he stood there gasping for breath.

"They are obviously afraid of something..."

Rioch took a breath and whispered:
"Tell me, what kind of creature would scare even a knifeback jackal?"

Aaron and Evelyn exchanged glances.

"Could it be..."

Could it be that the legendary "giant unidentified land creatures" were named "MUTO" by the Emperor Organization at the beginning, and then renamed "Titan Behemoth" later?

"According to Dr. Lin Shan's "Mysterious Zoology", there are two kinds of giant titans on Skull Island."

Evelyn whispered.

"King Kong, or a skeleton reptile."

Aaron took over the conversation and said in a hoarse voice.

Except for Medov, who had lost too much blood and was dying, the three who still had reason looked up at the deep cave together.

I can't stop imagining in my mind...

What kind of horror exists inside?
On this side, the lives of his teammates are dying, and on the other side, there are giant unknown land creatures that may exist. Aaron Brooks is caught in a dilemma for a while, and he doesn't know what to do.

"and many more……"

Evelyn narrowed her eyes suddenly and said:
"I seem to see fire... As far as I know, neither King Kong nor the skeleton reptile will use fire."

The two men looked up quickly.

The cave is deep and dark, and there is no fire.

"I can't handle that much anymore!"

Aaron gritted his teeth and said:

"Medoff must be treated immediately."

After speaking, he picked up his injured teammate and walked deep into the cave with one foot deep and the other shallow.

Evelyn and Leove could only pull up and keep up.

As they went deeper into the cave, the fire in Evelyn's mouth became more and more obvious—someone was indeed lighting a fire, which was reflected on the stone wall, and when the four of them finally found the source of the light...

It was beyond their expectations.

No King Kong, no skeleton crawlers.

There was only one man wearing a thick black-gold power armor, with his back to them, sitting quietly by the campfire. The silver giant sword, black gun and a helmet were put aside, and the swaying and jumping flames reflected his tall and stalwart back .

This black-haired giant, who was taller than ordinary people, held the hind legs of a knife-backed jackal in one hand and a pair of wings of a frightened vulture in the other, and was feasting.

Both the wings and the hind legs were scorched and covered with spices, and on the wooden frame in front of the bonfire, there was a giant spider leg thicker than a tree trunk.

All three were stunned.

"You are here."

Fu Qinghai turned his head to look at several people and said.

"Yes, it's you..."

Evelyn recognized the man.

His eyes widened in surprise.

At this moment, she suddenly realized:

The records in Dr. Lin Shan's "Mysterious Zoology" may not be all correct.

Bladeback jackals and frightened vultures, they are not brainless creatures, they also know fear, they also know fear... It's just that human guns are not enough to make them feel afraid.
