Chapter 1293 Giant Beast Island (Drink Ice Sparkling Water)

The next day, Duanmu Huai looked refreshed, while Mu, who followed him, could not even walk steadily, swaying from side to side, looking like he had a hangover.

"Are you okay, Ms. Kisara?"

Lorena looked at Kisara with some concern and asked, while the latter forced a smile.

"It's okay..."

As he spoke, Kisara instinctively reached out and pressed his lower abdomen. Although it had returned to its previous smoothness, Kisara still remembered the scene last night when his stomach was bulging and seemed to pierce through his entire body.

That's really……

"I finally understand why the master is so powerful."

"??? I don't quite understand what you mean, do you need me to treat you?"

"please!"

When the three walked out of the tent, the work in the camp had already begun. Seeing Duanmu Huai and others appear, everyone greeted them. Professor Serizawa and Kiba Yuto also brought everyone to the table and started a meeting.

In short, after locking onto the giant gorilla yesterday, the Argonauts in the sky had been tracking its whereabouts. This guy was so big that it was naturally easy to track. So they followed the direction the gorilla fled and finally found that the gorilla was hiding in a canyon on the northwest side of Skull Island.

I don't know if it was scared by Duanmu Huai and others, or if it had some other ideas, but now it is hiding there, looking around, looking quite vigilant.

Not only that, while tracking the gorilla, the Argonauts made a new discovery: there was a wasteland to the west of the gorilla's hiding place. There were also two huge skeletons there, which were even larger than the gorilla they had discovered so far.

In other words, this gorilla beast is probably not a full-grown adult, but a sub-adult. Therefore, the headquarters suggested not to disturb the gorilla beast for the time being, but to investigate the two remains in this area and take specimens for research. By the way, conduct a large-scale search around the area. If no clues are found, it will not be too late to look for the gorilla.

But... on the issue of how to reach the destination, the command center posed a difficult problem for everyone.

First of all, they definitely couldn't take the transport plane anymore. On the one hand, the transport plane was too obvious in the sky, and the previous battle also showed that the gorilla had anti-aircraft capabilities, which had been blocked by Duanmu Huai before. If it hadn't been blocked, the transport plane would have been directly hit by the tree thrown by the gorilla!

We were lucky this time, but it may not be the case next time. Besides, the transport plane does not have any weapons suitable to deal with this thing, so everyone can understand that.

  What about going upstream along the river by boat?

Well... this time Professor Serizawa didn't say anything, but played a video shot by a drone.

In the video, the badly beaten gorilla came to the nearby river, scooped up some water, drank a few sips, and then began to clean the wounds on his body. After all, Mu Geng had shown no mercy to it, and there were several sword marks on its hands and chest. If it weren't for the gorilla's thick skin, it would have been chopped to death long ago.

  However, when the gorilla was cleaning its wound, it seemed to discover something, looked around, and then suddenly stretched out its hand to grab the bottom of the river. At the same time, several tentacles suddenly stretched out from it and tightly wrapped around the gorilla!

This is a giant octopus!

Then the gorilla and the giant octopus started fighting in the river. The giant octopus wanted to strangle the gorilla to death, while the gorilla wanted to tear the giant octopus into pieces. In the end, the gorilla was slightly better, tearing the tentacles of the giant octopus apart, biting the fragments of the octopus's tentacles, and dragging the corpse away.

"Good guy."

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but be amazed.

"How many octopus balls can you make with such a big octopus?"

"……………………?"

Everyone looked at Duanmu Huai silently, and finally decided not to speak.

Your focus is so strange that we can't stand it.

But it is clear that we cannot go by water. It is obvious that there are not only giant gorillas on this island, but also giant water beasts. Who knows if this octopus is just one or a group of them? If we enter the water and are attacked by such a monster, we will be helpless.

So everyone could only use the most ancient method.

walk!

As for why we didn't take a car, the reason is very simple. There are dense jungles everywhere, or steep mountains. There is no road to drive on, so in the end we can only walk.

As for equipment and camping gear, they can be airdropped after they arrive at the destination.

The route has been determined. With the Argor guiding in the air, all we have to do is follow this path.

But Duanmu Huai felt it was a bit of a pity, as he had originally wanted to go fishing here.

  Given the nature of this broken island, even if you catch a grass carp, you can brag about it for the rest of your life!

Unfortunately, for safety reasons, the route planning this time did not choose to go along the river, but through the dense forest. On the one hand, this can hide the traces of Duanmu Huai and others to the greatest extent and avoid being discovered. Secondly, it can also ensure a certain degree of safety.

Duanmu Huai didn't care about this, since they were all using melee weapons anyway. The mercenaries were a little unhappy, but unfortunately they had no say here. The command center gave them the route, so they could only move forward according to the plan.

So after breakfast, the group packed up and continued on their journey.

After entering the forest, Duanmu Huai led the way, Lorena was in charge of the rear, and Mu Geng stayed among the crowd. Although the others had guns, they were not very useful in this densely vegetated jungle, so they just followed Duanmu Huai while looking around vigilantly and walked forward along the route.

"Why……………"

Following behind Duanmu Huai, the soldiers couldn't help showing envy when they saw the power armor on him. They were all soldiers, so they knew how powerful such a power armor was. The coolness was secondary, and the combat effectiveness was the most enviable.

  But everyone also knows that Duanmu Huai is not only capable of fighting, but also very courageous. When facing the gorilla that was over 100 meters tall, they were afraid that they couldn't even stand steadily, but Duanmu Huai actually dared to fight him face to face!

Apart from anything else, his courage is enough to make people give him a thumbs up!

Advancing through the forest was very physically demanding, which was nothing for trained soldiers and mercenaries, but for researchers like Dr. Serizawa and the Imperial Organization who had never been involved in any real work, it was a matter of life and death.

"Let's take a break!"

After just a few hours of walking, the researchers in blue clothes could not help but complain. The soldiers glanced at them with contempt, revealing a rather disdainful expression.

"You are so useless. The two girls didn't even complain about being tired, but you are still making a fuss here."

"Is it okay? That's why I'm telling you researchers that if you don't exercise properly every day, with your physique, you won't be able to escape from a monster if you encounter one!"

"…………………"

  Hearing the soldiers' ridicule, the researchers blushed. Although they were researchers, they were also men. In fact, at the beginning, Lorena was going to help them carry the equipment, but was rejected by the researchers. After all, they were men, how could they let such a young-looking girl help them carry such heavy things?

But they couldn't lift them themselves, so they had to hand them over to the soldiers. They also repeatedly reminded the soldiers not to bump or bump these things... No wonder the soldiers looked down on these difficult old men.

"Forget it, let's take a break."

Dr. Serizawa also took a breath. He was old and not suitable for climbing mountains and crossing ridges. He was sweating profusely. Hearing Dr. Serizawa's words, everyone immediately felt as if they had been pardoned. They all sat down and rested on the spot. Then they were kicked up by the soldiers around them.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Idiot! Have you become stupid from studying? Just sit on the ground and be careful of being bitten by a poisonous snake or an insect! We don't have the time and energy to take care of the wounded!"

"snake?!"

Hearing this, the researchers were also startled and jumped up from the ground in a hurry. Seeing this scene, Dr. Serizawa shook his head helplessly. This was also normal. After all, these researchers usually work in the laboratory and have no experience in field exploration. It is normal for them to be negligent.

While looking at the scenery in front of him, Dr. Serizawa sat on a broken log nearby and took a breath.

However, just as he sat down, he saw that the thing under Dr. Serizawa's butt that looked like a rotten piece of wood actually trembled! Then, it suddenly lifted up!

"Whoa!"

Dr. Serizawa had never expected that the broken wood under his butt would bounce up, so he quickly stood up and stepped aside. The soldiers quickly raised their guns and aimed at the broken wood.

  Only then did they realize that it was not a broken log at all, but a bug disguised as a broken log!

Its entire body was curled up in a shell that looked like a piece of broken wood, and it didn't move at all, so much so that everyone mistook it for a piece of broken wood.

“This, this, this…”

Seeing the big bug in front of them, everyone's scalps tingled and they all dodged. The soldiers aimed directly at the bug and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang!!!"

A series of bullets were fired and hit the insect, but the latter did not feel any pain. It just tilted its head and looked at everyone without saying a word.

That look seemed to say, "That's it? Didn't you eat?"

The soldiers' attack also angered the insect. It turned around, pointed at everyone, and opened its mouth. However, the next moment, Mu Geng flashed by with the magic sword in his hand. The shining sword light was like thunder from the sky, instantly cutting the insect in half from the middle, and the big insect fell to the ground and turned into a corpse.

"call---!"

  Seeing the bug being killed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a few people looked at the strangely shaped magic sword in Mu Geng's hand with curiosity. You know, they couldn't even penetrate the monster's skin with bullets just now, but this girl just cut it in half with one sword?

"Thank you."

Professor Serizawa had just recovered his breath, because he had just sat on this thing. Fortunately, it was just a big bug, and it didn't seem to have any other abilities. What if it had bitten him? Thinking of this, Professor Serizawa shuddered, and then expressed his gratitude to Kisara.

Then, his expression changed and he looked at the other researchers.

"Collect samples immediately, preserve and analyze them!"

"Yes."

At this moment, the researchers stopped talking and hurriedly took out their instruments and surrounded them. It is true that they did not have the fighting skills of those soldiers, but when it came to collecting samples for analysis and research - well, they were professionals.

It turns out that professional things should be done by professionals.

Duanmu Huai glanced at the corpse of the big insect, then retracted his gaze and looked around again. At this moment, his personal terminal communication suddenly rang. Duanmu Huai answered the call, and soon Mary's face appeared in front of him.

"Ah, Mr. Duanmu, I'm sorry to bother you. Are you busy now?"

"It's okay. We are currently resting on the southern island. What's going on?"

"Ms. Kumiko has made her decision."

Mary's voice was filled with joy.

"She has just told everyone in the club that she will compete face to face with Kuroe Mayu before the next performance."

"Oh? You mean......"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"She wants to recreate the duel between Kaori Kou and Reina Kousaka in the past, right?"

Duanmu Huai remembered that the two of them faced off on stage. You have to know that during the selection, because it was done individually, only the teacher in charge of grading and the student himself knew what happened in the room. Although this can be regarded as protecting personal privacy from a certain perspective, it also gave time for rumors to ferment.

For example, this was the case with Kousaka Reina at the beginning. Because she and Taki knew each other before, no one could be sure whether Taki gave her convenience. So Duanmu Huai decided to have a head-on competition with Nakasago Kaori in front of everyone, so that everyone could see it clearly. In fact, after the duel, no one objected to Kousaka Reina's decision to be a soloist.

Now it seems that Kumiko Huangqian also wants to replicate this scene.

"But the one called Kuroe Mayu is more troublesome."

At this point, Mary's voice became much more helpless.

"She really doesn't seem to be planning to participate in the competition, and even expressed her willingness to give up... Ms. Kumiko is currently trying to persuade her."

"People like this are the most troublesome, but since Kumiko has made her decision, let her be."

"Okay, Mr. Duanmu, I will continue to observe."

After the conversation, Duanmu Huai cut off the communication and looked at everyone again. At this moment, the researchers had already collected the samples.

So Duanmu Huai picked up the war hammer and waved his hand.

"Okay, let's get going!"
