Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 372 Myth is our compass

The giant monster was covered with water plants and trees, and its back above the water was like a small island. After swallowing Fu Qinghai in one gulp, it immediately turned its head and sank to the bottom of the water.

The hearts of the four present also sank.

The water surface was rippling with waves, and gradually returned to calm.

The dead tree stood up again.

It's as if nothing happened.

But soon, the surface of the water suddenly boiled.

Big balls of blood overflowed upwards, making the already pitch-black water even more turbid, like a mouthful of red springs that kept gushing out, and the water waves continued to spread outward...

"Shh!"

A spinning chainsaw sword pointed out of the water.

The spinning chain saw cut horizontally and disappeared into the water again. Soon, pieces of shattered bright red meat and leathery skin began to emerge from the water. It was still the armored giant standing up from the water, soaked in blood, stepping on the bulging back of the giant monster. .

Although his body was covered in blood, as the water washed down his body, the black gold armor was still brand new, and there were no scars on his face, so it could be said that he was unscathed.

All four of Aaron's jaws fell to the ground.

Fu Qinghai ignored the four people, stepped on the body of the giant monster with a big mouth in the middle of the lake, and jumped to the opposite bank.

After landing, it was found that the condition of the Osprey helicopter was very bad. The wings had been broken, the cabin had a large hole, and the nose was deeply inserted into the loose and moist soil by the lake.

The life and death of the pilot Cejudo is unknown.

The four of Aaron looked at this side with binoculars.

I saw that the armored giant grabbed the edge of the metal hatch half buried in the soil with one hand without any tools, pulled it out forcefully, and pulled the entire hatch out forcefully. The sharp and piercing metallic distorted sound came out of my brain, and I leaned in to check...

It was dark in the cockpit. Fu Qinghai tore off his seat belt, pulled the unconscious pilot Cejudo out of the cockpit, held it in his hand, and walked towards the shore.

Hand over the pilot to Aaron after flying over the lake.

"He's still alive."

After Fu Qinghai finished speaking, several people hurriedly laid down the unconscious teammate. Evelyn took out the medical kit given by Fu Qinghai, skillfully used the diagnostic contemplator to judge the injury, and then began to give Saihu Do more healing.

She has learned to use this magic box.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Fu Qinghai looked at the mountain of corpses in the lake and asked casually.

"Dead Soul Island Monster."

Evelyn said while operating:
"A giant crocodile predator. According to records, most of them inhabit lakes and tributaries in the south of Skull Island. It can parasitize a large number of plants on its back, including trees, shrubs and various aquatic plants. It is very concealed."

"Then eat crocodile meat and king crab tonight."

Fu Qinghai only cares about whether it tastes good or not.

When Cejudo's vital signs gradually stabilized, Fu Qinghai looked at Aaron Brooks and said:

"Now, then, you may fulfill your promise, Mr. Brooks."

Aaron nodded, and he and Rioci carried the two weak teammates, and said to Fu Qinghai:
"Come with me, Mr. Fu Shan."

…………

At this moment, the other side of Skull Island.

The reincarnators flocked to the island.

"Hmph, the ignorant are fearless."

Kravis stood alone in the forest, watching the group of players rushing into the jungle of Skull Island with excitement on their faces, the night elf who took off his disguise snorted disdainfully.

The reincarnations who dared to sign up to participate in the exploration operation and landed on Skull Island were not poor newcomers to reincarnation, with more or less powerful equipment or special abilities in their hands.

But they don't know anything about the jungle.

Throughout the history of human wars, in all wars that took place in the jungle, the number of deaths caused by the natural environment always far exceeded the number of deaths caused by direct combat.

Not to mention this is Skull Island.

It is called "Little Catachan".

There is no need to wait for them to suffer from tropical diseases such as malaria, beriberi, pellagra, and scurvy. The bloodthirsty animals on Skull Island alone are enough to kill reincarnations many times.

Thinking of this, Kravis couldn't help admiring Zhao Jianming's ability in his heart—she also spent assimilation points to come here on Boss Zhao's long-distance freighter.

The Monster Movie Universe opened for the first time, and many players poured in. Everyone was eager to participate in the storyline, and they all showed their talents.Among them, Zhao Jianming and his team took the lead in obtaining the location coordinates of Skull Island through unknown means.

Although the country of Magnesium has long observed this magical island in the South Pacific through reconnaissance satellites, the specific location coordinates are the core secret of the emperor organization.

Boss Zhao, who got the location coordinates, did not lead a team to explore alone. Instead, he openly recruited adventurers and explorers in New York to join his scientific research ship to explore together—and he only accepted payment in assimilation points.

If other players want to earn assimilation points, they must either win the big event of the plot line, or kill the reincarnation of the opposing camp.Boss Zhao, on the other hand, almost never participates in plot missions and faction battles, and relies entirely on spending money from players' pockets: whether it is the supply town in the radioactive wasteland, or the freighter ticket to Skull Island.

Others went to the well to pan for gold, and he sold pickaxes and jeans by the well.

As expected of an oriental Jew.

Kravis thought to himself.

"Ah, help, help me—"

Sure enough, the wailing of the reincarnation soon came not far away.When a team of players passed by the water's edge, they were suddenly hooked into the water by a reed branch protruding from the water. After a scream, they could only see a large amount of blood and broken flesh floating on the water.

There are also reincarnations who do not approach streams and lakes, but walk along jungle paths.A pair of black compound eyes suddenly opened in the middle of a crack in a dead wood lying beside it, and a dead wood thick enough to be hugged by a person suddenly moved and swept across. It turned out to be a giant stick insect. The toothed mouthparts swallow the unlucky eggs and chew them to pieces.

The night elf pouted.

The sound of grass stems and dead leaves being trampled and broken suddenly sounded in his ears. Kravis turned his head and looked at Zhao Jianming, wearing his X01 power armor, walking towards this side, followed by his brain-controlled robot butler who was always inseparable.

"You've seen that there's a monster there, haven't you?"

A muffled voice came from the fly helmet:
"I saw that you deliberately avoided those two places, so you are very clear that there are monsters hidden there, right, Miss Druid, why didn't you remind them?"

"Hello, Boss Zhao."

Kravis said calmly:

"If you have to ask. The law of the jungle is part of the ecological chain. This is the order of nature. The moment they choose to set foot on the island, they are destined to face this law. Of course, death is also part of the material cycle. In addition, I don't like the term 'monster', the appearance of animals and plants should not be judged by the narrow aesthetics of human beings."

Sure enough, it was what the druid would say.

Zhao Jianming thought to himself.

He didn't mean to be kind, but it was a pity that several reincarnated people lost their lives in vain like this-if they could leave the island alive, they could earn a lot of money for the boat ticket.

Zhao Jianming lifted the triple plasma rifle held in the handle, and said lightly:

"If you are lucky enough to go to the radiation universe in the future and see those ugly creatures distorted to the extreme by radiation, I hope you can face them with the same attitude you have now."

"The power of nature is beyond your imagination, Mr. Zhao."

There was a smile on the corner of Kravis's mouth:
"Any so-called 'radiation wasteland' cannot escape the day of returning to nature, including your radiation universe, which will turn into a lush green land again sooner or later."

…………

Fu Qinghai looked at the cottage in the distance.

Looking over the forest top and tip, you can see the sharpened wooden fence tied together with twine, with some decorative lime smears and animal skulls on it.

Before everyone approached the stronghold, a bone feather arrow pierced into the ground in front of them with a "swish".

A group of aborigines with bare upper body appeared from the bushes with spears in their hands, and slowly surrounded them.

"I... uh... babbling..."

Aaron searched his brains, trying to express his kindness with the few Iwi words he had.

"We know you, Outer Space Visitors."

A little boy of the Ewe tribe came out from behind the adult, clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and said.

"Oh, do you speak English?"

Aaron looked surprised.

Fu Qinghai also raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, we learned your language a long time ago, and you are welcome here."

Said the little boy with blue paint on his face.

"It seems that the natives of Skull Island have evolved."

Rioch turned his head and whispered.

……

What is more surprising is.

The Iwe people are very friendly.

They warmly received Aaron and the others and provided them with food, drink and shelter. They didn't show any special concern for Fu Qinghai, who was unusually large in size. Perhaps they just regarded him as a special type of "guest from extraterrestrials".

Rioch is obsessed with studying myths and legends, and spends his days mixing with tribesmen. This person is indeed amazingly intelligent, and he has already learned many sentences of the Iwe indigenous language.

On this day, the little boy of the Ewe tribe brought some strange bowls of medicinal wine for everyone. Evelyn quickly squatted down and asked the little boy. After some conversation, she turned her head and told everyone:
"This is a special kind of medicinal wine, which is made from the waxy film on the wings of Icarus Wings. It is said that it is very good for healing trauma. He invited us to drink it."

The whole body of Icarus wings is waterproof, the key lies in the waxy coating secreted on their body surface.

Several people hesitated when they heard the words.

Fu Qinghai took the wooden bowl and took a sip.

Taste detection nerves quickly give an early warning.

"There is some mental damage, but not fatal."

Fu Qinghai put down the wooden bowl and said lightly.

"Why give us something poisonous to drink?"

Aaron asked, his face a little uncomfortable.

The little boy of the Ewe nationality explained with gestures:
"Because you said that if you want to know more about King Kong, you have to enter the temple. According to the rules of the tribe, you must drink this bowl of medicinal wine before entering there."

What kind of strange rule is this?
Where is the temple?
The little boy of the Ewe nationality took a sip of the medicinal wine himself, indicating that it was safe and non-toxic, and then looked at the crowd.

Evelyn looked at Fu Qinghai.

Fu Qinghai shrugged and said:
"This is normal. Many religions and myths of ancient primitive tribes are based on hallucinogens. Witches and shamans, by taking hallucinogenic drugs, are generally extracts of certain poisonous mushrooms. Then rely on hallucinations to come up with prophecies... and so on, probably, I guess."

Evelyn agreed after hearing this:

"I think it's very likely."

"That's no big deal!"

After Rioch finished listening, he drank the medicinal wine in one gulp.

Aaron didn't even have time to stop it.

In turn, he was persuaded by his companions:

"Aaron, think about it carefully, what are we here for? Isn't it just to explore the secrets of King Kong? As Mr. Fu Shan said, this bowl of medicinal wine is not fatal. Why do you shrink back when something happens? Woolen cloth?"

"This……"

As soon as Aaron heard this, he was immediately persuaded.

Then he drank the bowl of medicinal wine.

Everyone drank the medicinal wine one after another, and Fu Qinghai also drank a large bowl - let alone a bowl, he would be fine with a bucket.

Then follow the little Iwe boy to the temple.

A few people wandered around the village, and finally came to a lake near the edge of the village. To everyone's surprise, a wooden three-masted warship ran aground here—strictly speaking, it was an armed merchant ship.The black hull, canvas and cables have decayed, leaving only the keel and wooden hull.

This is their "temple"?
Several people looked at each other and had guesses in their hearts.

The little Iwe boy led a few people into the sailboat through the huge opening at the bottom of the boat. Rioch touched a "VOC" sign on the inner wall of the cabin and said:

"Wow, look, the logo of the Dutch East India Company, this is a sailing ship from the seventeenth century."

"What does this explain? My father's scientific research team, and the two pilots from World War II, they were not the first human civilization forces to enter Skull Island, and there were people who strayed into this isolated place earlier than them .”

Aaron murmured.

"We have arrived."

The little Ewe boy turned around and said.

In the dim cabin, Aaron and the others took out their flashlights and shone on the surrounding bulkheads. They found that the Iwe tribe used the stranded sailboat as a temple, and recorded many myths and legends with paint on the inner wall—about The story of two great apes and a troop of two-clawed, one-tailed giant lizards.

Two great apes?

I never heard that Hei Liangzi has the same kind.

Fu Qinghai secretly figured out the content of the mural.

At this moment, some kind of medicinal effect seemed to be taking place.

The eyes of the four of Aaron gradually became blurred.

His feet were unsteady and he began to sway here and there.

"Ah, I see!"

Rioch exclaimed loudly.

What do you understand, bastard?
Fu Qinghai looked at him curiously.

The mythologist was flushed and sweating profusely.

"I saw them, I saw them standing proudly on the shore, the Iwi people are islanders in the Pacific Ocean, they drifted here, just as the skeleton reptiles had slaughtered the great apes, leaving only the last two, The two strongest, they are the descendants of the race...they are King Kong's parents!"

Rioch stroked the mural, opened his eyes and said:
"This is a war between the primitive gods of the earth."

Oh I got it.

Fu Qinghai stood aside with his arms folded, waiting for Rioci to continue interpreting the mural for himself.

Everyone seems to have a different resistance to medicinal wine.

Aaron fell asleep on the ground in a daze.

Medov and Cejudo held their heads and cried out for a headache.

Evelyn rubbed her eyes and kept shaking her head...Suddenly, she staggered two steps forward and was about to fall. Fu Qinghai quickly stretched out a hand to support her, and the Latin beauty raised her face , put his hands on the arm armor, stared at Fu Qinghai obsessively, and whispered softly:

"Ah, so handsome, I really want to..."

Fu Qinghai: "???"

"I can see! The birth of King Kong!"

On the other side, Rioch suddenly yelled.

Fu Qinghai was attracted by him.

The mythologist raised his palm and pressed it on the uneven mural, rubbing it all the way to the right, rustling the powder under his fingertips until it stopped somewhere, and then continued talking to himself:

"Here, the bone mound, is the burial place of the transcendent giant ape family, the final place where they were defeated by the enemy, and the place where the giant apes and skeleton reptiles first came to reality..."

Um! ?

Fu Qinghai lifted his spirits instantly.

Listen to what this means, could it be...

Is it the entrance to the inner world?

There was finally a hint of what he wanted.

"The Ewes witnessed and recorded this great scene with their own eyes." The mythologist continued to immerse himself in narcissism, trying to widen his eyes, "King Kong's mother was still fighting when she was pregnant, until their only child was born, King Kong was born on the battlefield, killing, roaring, blood, farewell... This is his only impression of this world."

Fu Qinghai grabbed the little boy of the Ewe nationality. He was a little dazed after taking a sip of the medicinal wine. He stood in the same place and circled. Fu Qinghai lifted the child up, pointed to the mural and said:

"There, I'm going there, take me there."

"That's...a place of pilgrimage, very dangerous..."

The little boy said with his eyes half closed.

"King Kong hid in the crevices of the rocks and witnessed his parents being killed by skeleton reptiles. Anger, hatred, grief, and grief fueled the rage. The rage that filled his body that day was the source of his strength, making him invincible..."

The mythologist continued to chant loudly.

Everyone else just tasted it, but he was the only one who drank a whole bowl full of medicinal wine, and he was really happy now.

"He is not a mindless beast, King Kong, he is an orphan, he is the descendant of the race, he is..."

"god!"

After shouting the last sentence loudly, Rioch fell on his back with a puff, and then lay on the ground and began to snore loudly.

Fu Qinghai pinched his chin and pondered.

"Myth is our compass."

This sentence uttered by Dr. Chen Ling (played by Zhang Ziyi) is not only the motto of the Emperor Organization, but also runs through a series of movies in the entire monster movie universe.

Until now, Fu Qinghai finally understood.

How to play the monster movie universe.
