Chapter 1294 Skeleton Lizard (I played GTAOL out of boredom these two days)

After that, the group continued to move forward and encountered some huge creatures along the way. Obviously, the huge creatures on this Skull Island were not just the gorilla. They even saw spiders taller than trees, buffaloes as big as cars, and so on. In short, this island is full of huge creatures, but not all creatures are huge. There are also some creatures like deer, which are no different from ordinary ones.

"To be honest, I really can't imagine how this ecosystem can be maintained given the environment of Skull Island."

Dr. Serizawa took a breath and spoke in a low voice.

"We all know that the reason why dinosaurs were so large was because the air density was higher and the oxygen content was different from now, which was able to support the existence of dinosaurs. But the monsters here - how do they maintain this form in the modern environment?"

"Is this weird?"

A mercenary curled his lips.

"Aren't those dinosaurs in Jurassic World pretty big? I think they're doing pretty well, too."

"That's different."

Professor Serizawa shook his head.

"The dinosaurs in Jurassic World have undergone genetic modification. Strictly speaking, they are different from the dinosaurs of ancient times. In fact, from an academic point of view, many dinosaurs did not look like they do now... Well, there is no point in talking about this now. Let's move on."

Professor Serizawa did not answer the question of why the monsters here can always maintain such a huge size, and perhaps he himself does not know the answer.

After passing through the forest, everyone arrived at the wasteland with the skeleton of the gorilla monster that the Argo had discovered before.

But the situation here is not very optimistic. The whole wasteland is shrouded in a brown-yellow smoke. Although the concentration is not high, it has a strange smell of rotten eggs. Duanmu Huai has been wearing a helmet, so he naturally doesn't feel it. Lorena and Mu Geng also hurriedly put on their helmets. As for the others, they don't have such good equipment, but fortunately they still have prepared gas masks, so the soldiers and researchers also hurriedly put on their masks.

After all, it doesn't look normal here at first glance.

"Although there is no deadly poison gas, the concentration of flammable gas here is very high!"

After conducting the test, another researcher quickly gave the answer.

"Everyone, please be careful not to use open flames!"

Soon, the commander of the Marine Corps gave the order, and the others nodded. Duanmu Huai also clenched the hammer in his hand, squinted his eyes and stared at the surroundings, and quietly made a gesture to Lorena and Mu Geng, who quickly slowed down their pace and then came to the periphery, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

  It didn't take much effort for everyone to find the two huge gorilla skeletons lying in this strange area. Although the Argonaut in the air had already conducted detection, everyone was still shocked after seeing the skeletons of the two gorillas in person. Moreover, after on-site measurements by the researchers, these two gorilla skeletons were even larger than the one they had encountered before!

This also preliminarily indicates that the gorilla is not yet an adult and can still grow bigger.

"So, they could be King Kong's parents?"

"King Kong?"

Hearing Professor Serizawa's sigh, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment and looked at him curiously. The latter noticed Duanmu Huai's gaze and shrugged with a wry smile.

"That's the name I gave to the gorilla. After all, we need a name to mark it, right? Just like Godzilla, we can't call it a giant lizard."

At this point, Dr. Serizawa smiled bitterly and then frowned.

“But in this case, the situation may change.”

"What changes?"

"We originally thought that King Kong would take us to its hometown, and it would return to its original location under threat. But we may have overlooked one thing, that is, its home may not be underground, but in..."

As he spoke, Dr. Serizawa pointed to the Skull Island in front of him.

"here."

"So you mean to say that it wasn't it that came out of the center of the earth, but its parents?"

"That's pretty much it."

Dr. Serizawa nodded.

"I studied the two skeletons. They have very obvious male and female characteristics. I suspect that this pair of gorillas came to the surface from the center of the earth for some reason and stayed here. Then they gave birth to King Kong, and then died for some reason... If this is the case, then King Kong probably doesn't know whether there is really a passage to the center of the earth."

"But there are more than just these two skeletons here."

Duanmu Huai glanced around. In addition to the two gorilla skeletons, there were also various skeletons, big and small.

  Could this be a garbage dump or a cemetery? Just like what some popular science books on nature say, animals have an instinctive reaction before they die, and they will actively look for a cemetery to die?

For the researchers, this was obviously a treasure trove. They happily held their bags and began to collect the bones. After all, these were animals on the island. Since no living large monsters could be caught at present, it was a good choice to use the bones of dead monsters for research.

"Roar-----!!"

Just as everyone was working hard, suddenly, a strange cry was heard, scaring everyone.

  However, before they could come to their senses, they heard strange cries coming from all directions, one strange and unpleasant cry after another, and just listening to it made people feel cold all over!

"Leave this to us, you guys hide! Quick!"

Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer and shouted at Professor Serizawa, who hurriedly stood up and quickly joined the marines and mercenaries and hid inside the gorilla's skull. The skull was almost as big as a house, enough to fit most of the members. The researchers hid in the innermost part, while the marines and mercenaries leaned against the gap with weapons in their hands, staring around vigilantly.

Duanmu Huai, Lorena and Mu Geng scattered around the skull, staring at the yellow smoke that filled the air.

Then, strange figures emerged from the mist. They looked very strange, just like big lizards, but there was one strange thing, that is, these "lizards" only had front limbs and no hind legs, that is, they moved completely on the ground with their two front limbs, which looked extremely strange.

They are completely black, with only their heads being white. They look like skulls, which looks weird no matter how you look at them.

"What kind of monster is this..."

Looking at these skeleton lizards, the researchers couldn't help but tremble, and the soldiers held their breath and held their weapons tightly, for fear of making any sound and alarming them.

However, some people do not follow the usual path.

"——————!"

A whistle broke the silence, and Duanmu Huai raised his hand and shouted at the monster over there.

"Hey, Sun Thief!"

  Upon hearing this voice, those strange skeleton lizards suddenly turned their heads, and after seeing Duanmu Huai, they immediately accelerated and pounced towards him!

"!?"

Seeing this scene, the soldiers and researchers were stunned. They knew you were a ferocious person, but they didn't expect you to be so ferocious! This time, there was a group of them! Are you really that brave?

“Roar—Roar—Roar—!”

At this moment, the skeleton lizards had rushed to Duanmu Huai's front. They kept slapping the ground with their only pair of front limbs, but their speed was not slow at all.

However, this scene was extremely strange to other people. It was like a person who didn't walk on his feet but had to stand up and crawl with his hands. It looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

"Roar---!"

The leading skeleton lizard pounced over and opened its bloody mouth, biting Duanmu Huai.

But this time, Duanmu Huai will not give it any chance. He had let King Kong off before because it was necessary, but now these monsters... naturally there is no need to take care of them!

"go to hell!"

  Facing the skeleton lizard that pounced towards him, Duanmu Huai roared angrily, swung the war hammer in his hand suddenly, drew an arc in the air, and then hit the skeleton lizard's head directly, smashing its big mouth directly to the ground, and the skeleton lizard's head exploded instantly under Duanmu Huai's blow!

But this is just the beginning!

“Hooa ...

  The other skeleton lizards seemed to be stimulated by the death of their companions. They made that ugly cry again and pounced straight towards Duanmu Huai!

"Die, you bastard!"

The overwhelming skeleton lizards were not only as big as double-decker buses, but also so densely packed that at first glance there were at least hundreds of them. Just looking at this scene made one's scalp tingle. However, Duanmu Huai was not afraid at all. He faced these skeleton lizards, strode forward, and swung the hammer in his hand like a fan.

"boom!"

Duanmu Huai blasted out with his hammer, like hitting a golf ball, and smashed the head of a skeleton lizard that was rushing towards him directly into the sky. Then he took a step forward, changed the direction of the hammer in his hand, and swept it across, hitting the skeleton lizard that was running from the other side, and hit it like a home run in baseball. The latter flew backwards with a wail, and smashed into the companion that was rushing behind him, and then both of them turned into a pile of meat paste at the same time.

"Roar---!"

  The third skeleton lizard took advantage of this opportunity to suddenly open its mouth and bit Duanmu Huai's body tightly. However, Duanmu Huai did not dodge or evade. He stretched out the free hand that was left at the skeleton lizard's mouth, grabbed the skeleton lizard's mouth, and pulled it down directly!

"Go to hell!"

Duanmu Huai pulled the mouth of the skeleton lizard off directly, and he raised his foot and stomped hard at the other lizard that he had knocked to the ground. Along with the spurting blood, the huge body of the skeleton lizard also became motionless.

Almost all the skeleton lizards that dared to rush towards Duanmu Huai and approached him were smashed into meat paste by the swinging war hammer. The other two were also unwilling to lag behind.

Lorena shuttled among the lizards, holding the heavy and huge holy book in her hand, and slapped the lizard's head like slapping a fly, smashing its head into a pulp. Then, when another lizard rushed over, she immediately dodged and threw the holy book. The heavy holy book, which seemed like a brick, pierced the head of the open-mouthed skeleton lizard like a cannonball, turning the latter into a corpse lying on the ground.

On the other side, Kisara seemed to have turned into a ghost. He and his sword turned into a flash of light and shuttled through the group of lizards. Blood splattered wherever he went. The skeleton lizards didn't even have time to dodge before being chopped into pieces by Kisara. The pieces were cut into small pieces without any fat in them.

"Fire, fire!"

With Duanmu Huai and three others attracting hatred in the front, the Marines and mercenaries in the back took the opportunity to launch an attack. After all, they were soldiers, and fighting was their duty. There was no way they could sit in the back and watch others fight to the death like that group of researchers. So soon someone set up a machine gun and started shooting at the monsters.

However... the result shocked everyone.

When they saw Duanmu Huai hitting a kid with one hammer, they thought that the defense of these skeleton lizards was not very good. It was not until they did it themselves that they found that the defense of these skeleton lizards was terrifyingly strong. Their machine gun bullets did not break the defense at all!

Not only did it fail to break the defense, but one of the skeleton lizards even diverted its attention and pounced directly towards them!

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow..."

  Seeing the skeleton lizard rushing over, the soldiers screamed and pulled the trigger, desperately pouring bullets. However, their bullets hit the opponent, but there was no way to slow down the skeleton lizard even a little! In the blink of an eye, the opponent had already rushed in front of everyone and directly hit the skull where they were hiding!

"Drink!!"

In a flash, Mu Geng descended from the sky holding a magic sword, and then rolled on the ground, swinging the magic sword in his hand suddenly, with a flash of sword light turning into a full moon and swinging it forward. Then the skeleton lizard that pounced on the crowd was cut in half, and the body that was cut into two pieces almost flew past the bodies of the crowd, scaring everyone.

Kigen shook off the blood drops on the magic sword, without even looking at the crowd, and joined the battlefield again.

When the soldiers saw this scene, their faces turned pale and they were unable to utter a word.

After a long while, one of the mercenaries murmured.

"Maybe, I should learn how to use a sword..."

In OL, I went straight to the bail mission, specifically catching criminals, which was pretty cool.
