After the fifth and last Plundering Dragon fell to the ground, the nearly 6-meter-long golden-armored giant began to shrink until Zhou Shu, who was panting inside, was exposed.

He looked at his personal panel and found that the mission description had changed.

"Finally, we are number one in the standings."

Now that he had left the river section of the giant centipede, it didn't matter to him that the four alien candidates were besieged, and there were even his competitors inside.

And those candidates were also fighting back while being besieged, so the points kept increasing. If he stayed there all the time, it was impossible for him to get the first place in the points list.

So he not only started to walk again, but also started to punch the monsters he encountered.

Coincidentally, the closer to the core location, the more monsters there are, and the monsters here don't pay attention to any territory. They have completely become wild monsters arranged by the assessment system, and they have become tool beasts that prevent candidates from approaching the core location.

Zhou Shu fought all the way and finally got the first place in the standings.

Now that the battle is over, his points are temporarily fixed at 980, while the points of that Elf 09 are fixed at 976, which has not increased for some time.

However, the number of the opponent has not turned gray, which means that the opponent is not dead yet, so he still has the ability to catch up. He cannot underestimate the enemy, and he still needs to increase his points.

His new task allowed him to maintain the first place in points until the end of the assessment, and he had already reached this point, so he had to keep it up.

The main task has changed, but the small task has not changed. It is still to let him go to the center of Huxin Island, so he continues to move forward quickly.

His strategy is still the same as before, not the first to appear at key nodes, but in other directions, he feels that he can be more casual, and even more aggressive.

From the current point of view, his strategy is very correct, and he has successfully survived until now, and temporarily won the first place in the standings.

It's just that he was really not sure about the final location. He wasn't sure if he should be the first to go there, or should he wait and see according to the previous strategy?

He didn't care if the first person to enter passed the assessment or something, but if the first one to enter was awarded points and announced that the assessment was over at the same time, then he would be numb.

He managed to reach the first place in the standings. If he overturned the car at the last step, he would die unjustly.

"Hey, let's take a look while walking, and observe first when we get there."

Muttering something, Zhou Shu looked at the corpse of the plundering dragon on the ground, and embarked on the journey again.

Before he had gone far, he encountered another group of strange-looking monsters, and the monsters rushed towards him as soon as they saw him.

One thing to say, he doesn't know how to complain about this assessment system. The density of monsters on Huxin Island is indeed ridiculously high, but the number of light is high, and the quality is not good. It is simply giving him points and allowing him to quickly recover his strength.

Those who didn't know thought that this assessment system opened the back door for him.

He ran into a group of crossbows and sabers, which were also one of the canine-jawed beasts on Skull Island.

The crossbow spinydon is a mammal-like crawling predator on Skull Island. They have compressible or extendable, vertical bony spines on their backs. This characteristic of the crossbow spinydon is, That's how they got their name.

Their body length can grow to more than 5 meters, with a light gray background and red longitudinal stripes, and huge bony spines can extend from the neck to the buttocks.

During the breeding season, the male crossbone sabers will compete to erect the bone spines on their backs like peacocks, and roar loudly while marching proudly.

They will show their bone spines to the female crossbowsabers, trying to win the favor of any of them, and thus tie the knot.

When Zhou Shu came over, a large group of male crossbows and sabers were showing their love.

They are very flexible in the choice of food, and they often prey on the juveniles of the tooth-backed iron-faced ceratopsian. However, if these fast-running vegetarian animals are not caught for a while, the crossbow Saber-toothed beast will also attack other animals. Carnivores have their minds, such as the slow-moving Ravatoron.

Of course, the same goes for the Twolegs who come to sabotage their good deeds.

This two-legged beast looks thin and tender. It must be delicious.

With a voice of "Aw", several male crossbows and saber-toothed beasts rushed towards Zhou Shu.

However, this 5-meter-long animal has no special abilities and can't even spray venom. It is not Zhou Shu's opponent at all, so he was awarded points.

And as soon as he got these points, his points directly broke through 1000 points, quickly opening up the distance from that 09.

After finishing this wave, he continued to move forward, and the scene changed from a rainforest to a rocky grassland and a large wetland as he walked.

But the most conspicuous ones are the tanks in the wetlands!

No, not a tank, but a giant crab!
He has also seen this thing in the information. This thing is a nest-dwelling hunting crab. It is a large amphibious predator-scavenger of the crab family on Skull Island.

The size of this kind of crab varies greatly. The little one is only as big as a suitcase, while the big one is half the size of a normal King Destroyer Dragon!

Their activity areas are never picky, and they can be seen busy from waterways, coastline reefs and cliffs to the jungle edge of Skull Island.

As one of the many native crabs on Skull Island, nest-dwelling crabs are eye-catching not only for their tank-like size, but also for the second pair of giant claws they produce.

This is equivalent to a general tank with only one barrel, but it has two, and the whole is an apocalypse tank.

However, their bodies are not flat, but some grow upwards, like the heads of armed trucks.

Although the nest-dwelling crabs belong to the family Crabidae, and their activity areas are spread over certain land areas, they mainly live underwater.

Of course, the same is not limited to water bodies, coastal areas, flowing waterways, flooded caves or simply canyon lakes.

In addition to sleeping in water, they can appear anywhere when hunting.

Nest-dwelling crabs are ferocious but quite formidable predators, after all, their full body armor is much stronger than the scales of some dragons.

With such a large size, their shells are proper tank armor.

They often run sideways in the unique posture of crabs, but they can knock down the opponents that catch up with them when they turn around.

Especially the largest nesting crabs, they dare to attack and bite anything that dares to get in their way.

After all, with four large pincers and full body armor, except for monsters that are much bigger than them, other monsters that are smaller than them and almost the same size are probably only eaten by them.

As for the guys on Skull Island who are bigger than them, but judging from the information Zhou Shu has read, there are really only a few.

Even if Zhou Shu comes...not necessarily.

Well, after seeing more than a dozen "Apocalypse Tanks" standing up in other places, and there are countless "small unmanned combat vehicles", Zhou Shu has no intention of wasting time here.

It is more important to arrive at the designated area as early as possible.

It's not that you can't beat Ang, but that there is no need to waste time.

Fortunately, the speed of "tank" and "unmanned combat vehicle" is relatively slow, at least for a superman like Zhou Shu, so Zhou Shu can pass through this area quickly, making those big crabs unable to react at all.

Even here is a wetland, Zhou Shu doesn't want to get wet, so he can use these crabs as stones and step on them to jump over.

After jumping over some crabs, Zhou Shu found that these crabs were just a little bigger, but they were actually no different from ordinary crabs.

Although they have four large pincers, which bring them very violent attack power, but also because of the mutual resistance of these four large pincers, the top of their large shells has become their own attack dead angle, and they cannot attack at all. arrive.

So even if Zhou Shu stood on their carapaces, especially at the back, he could completely ignore their attacks.

Except for the weapons directly in front of them, they rely on thick carapaces to resist attacks. As long as they block a few attacks, they can still kill the enemy when they turn around suddenly and look back.

The premise is that the enemy's instant attack power is not too high, and their carapace cannot be smashed at once.

But generally speaking, those who are smaller than them definitely don't have that strong fighting power.

But Zhou Shu was different.

After discovering that these crabs were actually so stupid, he changed his mind a little bit, maybe he could try to get some points.

However, he didn't fight directly in the crab nest, but quickly passed through the wetland, and waited until the number of crabs around was very scarce.

He picked a small one first, the size of a suitcase, and kicked it to pieces.

"No challenge."

Then he found a big one, about the size of a tricycle, and it was just a matter of one foot.

He discovered that the crabs' shells might not be as strong as he thought, until he gradually worked his way back and came across actual nest-dwelling hunter crabs.

That is, the largest type.

They are worthy of the word "hunting" in their names.

Although they are the largest in size, almost reaching the height of a floor, their strength is also ridiculously large, and their running speed is not slow with thick carapaces on their backs.

Especially their carapace, Zhou Shu punched it without any damage, it was really like a thick steel plate.

Their big pincers dance vigorously, the opening is like a guillotine, and the thickness is beyond imagination.

Even if you don't open the guillotine, just dance and smash a few times, you can smash a car into a cake, which is the same as being run over by a tank.

Determined that he couldn't afford it, Zhou Shu slipped away at a speed like cheating.

At present, he still maintains the first place in the standings, so there is no need to waste time here.

cough cough.

Leaving the wetland area, Zhou Shu entered a forest again, but after entering, he found that there were significantly fewer monsters here.

Even after 5 minutes, I didn't encounter a single large monster, but there were quite a few small animals.

Fist-sized mosquitoes, centipedes tens of centimeters long, grasshoppers half a meter long, and the like.

They came out in a group, but when Zhou Shu's strong vitality field unfolded, it was like a super electric mosquito swatter, crackling a large area.

Other than these, Zhou Shu had never seen any large monsters.

But immediately afterwards, Zhou Shu found many traces of the survival activities of large monsters, and then a large number of bones.

Not only are they large in number, but they are also huge in size.

It looked like a giant at first, but Zhou Shu soon realized what it was. They were all King Kong's bones.

In other words, they are all members of King Kong's tribe.

According to the setting of the movie, King Kong in the 05 version belongs to the genus of supergiant apes, which can grow to nearly 8 meters in height, and they live in groups.

Adult giant apes can protect their young from dangerous animals and guide them to find food. Although the young are quite fragile, the adult giant apes are strong enough to rival the most dangerous predators on the island.

For example, in the movie, although King Kong lived on a mountainous highland, the super giant ape should have lived in the jungle with more food.

King Kong will go into the jungle and other areas to look for food, but he has to return to the highlands for safety reasons. With the protection of the group, it can live in the jungle for a long time without running back and forth.

Gigantuan apes combine enormous strength with incredible agility, and the limbs they can grasp also have a huge advantage. Like other apes, gigantic apes can also use intelligence to plan and think deeply to deal with enemies.

In a group, the strong emotional connection between individuals of the giant ape can form a solid ally, and communication skills can strengthen this bond.

Vocalization is an important component of their communication, but subtle body language or gestures are just as important.

Literally, a blink or a glance can convey a message to other great apes.

On other occasions, however, the menacing chest-beating and stand-up roars are unmistakably statements of power and dominance.

Although living alone, King Kong also retains quite a few similar behaviors, many of which are complex enough to be comparable to the movements used by humans to express emotions.

And the corpses that Zhou Shu saw now should be King Kong's dead compatriots.

On these corpses, Zhou Shu saw some eye-catching scars, which were all displayed on the bones, showing what kind of battles they had fought during their lifetimes.

And most of these scars should come from the Destroyer King Dragon, because there is a long-term hostile relationship between the giant ape and the Destroyer King Dragon.

Both the Gigantopithecus and the Destroyer Rex are huge and powerful animals. Earth-shaking battles will break out between the bloodthirsty reptiles and cunning primates.

Rex Rex considered juvenile supergiant apes food, and any Rex Rex brave enough or stupid enough would risk injury to capture them.

These two species can kill the offspring of the enemy without hesitation in the face of the opportunity to avoid future troubles, and they maintain a zero-tolerance attitude towards the enemy's invasion of the territory.

In particular, the sub-adult Destroyer Monarch Dragon is less cunning than the adult individuals, but eager to open up its own territory, it is most likely to provoke a conflict with the super giant ape.

Gigantopithecus wields anything at hand as a weapon, while Destroyer Rex is equipped with powerful jaws, and their clashes can result in horrific wounds.

Usually most conflicts are short-lived, with one side retreating when it realizes it's "short-handed", but when the two sides are "enough" and evenly matched, it turns into a fight to the death.

Faced with accidents and attrition, the King Kong population continues to dwindle. Like other great apes, the supergiant apes have low reproductive rates and young individuals take years to live independently.

Wounds and diseases are as deadly to the giant ape as the destruction of the king dragon or the hunting dragon. The death of each member is a great blow to the group.

In the end, only King Kong was left, a super giant ape.

King Kong is a smart social animal that lives alone. Its participation in the islanders' human sacrifice is a desire for social behavior, so a strange and unnatural relationship has arisen between the two parties.

And those islanders were actually a powerful civilization a long time ago, and those city walls that were shattered by the earthquake were built by that powerful civilization to resist the monsters on the island.

The center of the island is actually the center of the city before, but now it has been obliterated by nature.

And the place where the remaining islanders are located is actually outside the original city wall.

Thinking of those people, Zhou Shu thought of An and Carl, and wondered if they had returned to the civilized world.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Shu walked through a bush and saw a blonde girl in a dirty skirt rushing over.

The blond girl was surprised when she saw him suddenly appear, then tripped over a branch and slammed the ball into his arms.

Zhou Shu: "..."
