Chapter 221: King of the Giant Apes!

A long time ago, Skull Island was much larger than it is now, and continuous earthquakes created a huge crack that just formed the crater where the dinosaurs lived.

These geological phenomena are the reason why dinosaurs can survive to this day.

Those volcanic craters maintain the high temperature on the island. Even if the rest of the world has frozen and all life has become extinct, Skull Island is still very warm and full of life. This miracle has allowed giant reptiles to continue to evolve for 6500 million years.

During these times, dinosaurs continued to evolve, becoming more ferocious and intelligent, evolving into features never seen in outside paleontology.

Tyrannosaurus rex wasn't the only predator anymore, and on Skull Island, they evolved into the bigger, fiercer, and more agile Destroyer-Rex.

Their feet are large enough to cope with the fractured and uneven rock formations on Skull Island, allowing them to move freely across uneven surfaces.

They have smaller ribs and hips that allow them to move like snakes in narrow woods.

Another predator endemic to Skull Island is the intelligent and vicious hunter-like velociraptor, similar to the velociraptor, but these guys are much bigger, about six or seven meters long.

They have powerful jaws but a very streamlined body that allows them to be very fast.

There are not only dinosaurs on Skull Island, but there are also terrifying and even worse beasts lurking in the thick cracks on the island.

Creatures will fall into pits, which are traps for predators in nature, filled with rotting corpses and animals, so there will be scavengers in the thick liquid at the bottom.

Including the nastiest of all vile-eaters.

Basically think of it as a giant earthworm with lots of spikes and ringed tusks.

This kind of super earthworm does not need to drill around in the soil all the time, it can already prey and scavenge by itself.

Who would have thought that earthworms could be so big that they could prey on them.

It can continuously eat with the teeth of the "head", and then swallow it for digestion, just like a tentacles that are constantly moving in search of food.

Danger exists not only in the depths of the island, but also in the sky, ruled by the fearsome Bat-Dragon.

The flying creature Batsaurus is basically a large flying cariodontid. It has a similar body structure to Pterodactyl. Except for the feet, they are the same type of creature.

The living habits of bat dragons are basically similar to bats. They hang upside down on the ceiling of caves during the day and come out to be active at night.

To put it bluntly, they are disgusting flying creatures that are slimy, disgusting, and fly everywhere.

The cave of the bat dragon is on the top of the highest mountain of Skull Island, and there is also a giant orangutan living on the top of this mountain, that is, Donkey Kong.

About 3000 years ago, Skull Island developed a high degree of civilization, and the island was once inhabited by highly developed humans.

Of course, the "highly developed" here is also compared with 3000 years ago, which is almost the same level as the Inca culture, and it is also equivalent to the ancient Egyptian civilization, Western Taiwan civilization or Sumerian civilization.

This high civilization has its own religious beliefs. They are very keen on sacrificing the living and then worshiping the dead.

Yes, the ancient humans on Skull Island respected the dead more than the living.

They keep and worship the skeletons of their dead as part of their faith, and they have large underground cemeteries underground.

They had very high construction skills, and they built large temples and large stone buildings in a style similar to the stone walls of Micronesia.

The organizational structure of these buildings is a bit like a city wall complex, which is composed of crystal rock and basalt. The basalt-like stone strips are about two or three meters long. Its biggest advantage is that it is a bit like a game of stacking sticks.

They can cross and overlap stone slabs to make a stronger structure for their buildings.

The ancient civilization built a city at the highest point on the island, which was surrounded by a 38-kilometer-long thick wall. It was originally built to protect the ancient civilization from being destroyed by other things, including dinosaurs, giant orangutans and all kinds of animals. kind of monster.

And 1000 years ago, a routine earthquake on Skull Island brought devastating disasters.

Increasingly frequent earthquakes began to erode the island, causing the island to begin to sink, and the continent slowly sank to the bottom of the ocean.

The current islands are really just the former highlands, and the creatures that previously lived on the "mainland" have all been moved to the center.

Because the island sank and the coastline shrunk inward, predators were confined to a smaller area and the amount of food was so reduced that the struggle on the island would have been harsher than in other natural ecosystems elsewhere in the world.

The whole Skull Island is collapsing, and the ecosystem is collapsing, which is why there are so many predators on the island.

Because there is not enough space for everything to survive, carnivores naturally have to find new food sources, which are humans in the city, and humans' only protective walls have been damaged by continuous earthquakes.

After the walls fell, allowing the monsters to enter the safety of the city center, humanity was wiped out.

Humans are the most vulnerable creatures. Because they couldn't beat them, they built high walls to hide. But after the high walls collapsed, humans on Skull Island recalled the fear of being dominated by monsters.

Many were killed and eaten, and some may have left the island.

Those who left may have settled somewhere, and then some offspring were born and adapted to the new living environment.

The broken walls covered with green plants on Skull Island prove that those people and that civilization once existed, and the small group of people surviving in the cracks on the edge of the island are the descendants of those advanced civilized humans.

Their civilization is severely degraded. They live on bird eggs, fish and beetles. The only covering on their bodies is the hair on their heads, and all their clothes are also made of human hair.

They have lost their original weaving skills, and can only make this kind of clothes with rough knots, and even add some small bones to show their humble courage.

They have survived on a small piece of land by the sea, and the only thing that protects them from dinosaurs, monsters, and other things are the walls that used to prevent monsters from invading.

Only now they are outside the city, while the monsters are in the city.

It was cracked by the earthquake, and a short distance from the main body of Skull Island formed a cliff. With the existence of the city wall, they had a small place to live.

The ancient residents of Skull Island buried their dead outside the city wall, praying for the dead to protect the sacred city wall. Since today's Skull Islanders have lost building materials and technology, the only safe place they can find is the ancient tomb. Living with the remains of long-dead people.

They are constantly being hunted, so they try to hide in their graves for as long as possible, a very stealthy way of life.

They worship the giant orangutan as a god, and they use human sacrifices to appease the giant orangutan, because King Kong is the only monster that can jump over a cliff.

"...And those natives lit fires to summon the giant ape. Sacrificing you to the super giant ape has two benefits. It can not only regain the place of residence, but also worship the giant ape."

Sitting in a relic that had collapsed but formed a solid triangular space, Zhou Shu told An such a history.

But Miss An's attention didn't seem to be on this, but on the barbecue in his hand.

By the way, this "artificial cave" turned out to be the territory of a cunning dragon, very cunning.

When Zhou Shu comes, this little cunning dragon will naturally become a barbecue in his hands.

Although Slyosaurus relies on its long hind limbs when running, it also shows some characteristics of semi-quadrupeds, especially when they are resting, they will put all four limbs and four claws down on the ground. Comfortable.

At this time, the cunning dragon will walk on the ground with the knuckles of its forelimbs like King Kong.

The color and body surface features of Slyosaurus are quite colorful. There are red resonance sacs on the top of their heads, arms and backs. In addition, there are two red meat crowns arranged in a straight line on the top of their heads. .

The function of these things is the same as the comb and colored feathers of a big rooster. They are used to show their gender and then used to attract the opposite sex.

Despite his gorgeous, lovely, graceful appearance, Sly Dragon is an out-and-out professional egg thief, and all egg-laying creatures on Skull Island have suffered from it for a long time.

In order to protect the next generation that they have worked so hard to produce, most creatures have tried their best, such as spraying urine and feces near the nest to emit a "very pungent" smell, in an attempt to drive away egg thieves.

But unfortunately, it was this smell that gave Xiaolong an extremely strong and joyful signal, that is, "where the smell originates, there is a nutritious meal."

In addition, Slyosaurus also has a very strong sense of smell and can determine the location of these "delicious meals" based on the smell of eggs of different animals from a considerable distance.

Once an egg is found, Xiaolong will grab an egg and run away, and will eat it while running.

Most of the time, sly dragons live on eggs, but sometimes they will really eat meat, such as rushing into the nest or long procession of various wingless ground birds. , pick up or pick up a chick and just... run and eat.

They are very cunning, which is where their name comes from.

In order to get rid of tracking, they also "bath" in the creek to remove the smell contaminated by themselves.

Moreover, they will run into King Kong's territory with their small statures of only a few tens of centimeters long, and they never defecate in their lairs, also in order to keep themselves clean and not carry a strong and unique smell.

This is how small predators survive.

Until it met Zhou Shu, the villain.

"Here," Zhou Shu handed a baked cunning dragon leg to An, "Eat it."

"Thank you, Zhou." An excitedly took it.

"Ah~"

"It's so delicious, I've been hungry all day and night, and I ran away for the third time just now..."

An's mood has not completely calmed down yet. After all, what happened to her was too thrilling. She told Zhou Shu that Zhou Shu was speechless.

Originally, he had saved them once and asked them to leave quickly, but because of greed, they returned to Skull Island.

This time they were prepared, and the crew took guns and swept across the entire aboriginal gathering place, killing more than a dozen aboriginals, and driving the rest of the aboriginals away.

It's just that they encountered danger as soon as they entered the forest. Just like in the movie, they encountered a crazy Triceratops.

After being stabbed to death by the long horns of the Triceratops and injuring two others, the Triceratops finally died under their random guns.

At first they panicked, shooting the Triceratops in the head didn't work at all, the bullets were all blocked by the big bone plate, and then they shot at the body, and it took many shots to die.

Zhou Shu was taken aback when he heard this, because he remembered that the Triceratops he met in the movie died after being shot a few times. Why is it so fierce here?

Is it because it became a virtual examination room?
In order to increase the difficulty for the candidates, so the monsters were strengthened?

Zhou Shu feels that it has a lot to do with it.

According to An's account, the crew and the photography team were all shocked by the Triceratops, which should have been extinct, and then became extremely ecstatic.

The crew wanted to capture rare animals and make a lot of money, so what animal is rarer than dinosaurs?
It's so rare!
Legendary!
The same goes for the photography team. They came here for the mysterious Skull Island. Now they not only found the island, but also saw dinosaurs on it. What’s even more amazing is that they brought cameras and video cameras to take pictures of them all. !

In this way, even if there is no plot, they will still make a lot of money by directly shooting a documentary!

And it also needs to be world-famous!

So no matter how dangerous the forest is, they have to go and see it.

This triceratops is already dead, but it can also be used as waste. People who think they are brave like to stand next to the corpse of their prey and take pictures, not to mention that this is a triceratops.

After taking the photos, they sent the wounded back, and then went on the road again. Soon they encountered a second dinosaur, and it was very small, only one person tall, so they rounded it up directly.

The crew captured the first dinosaur, and the camera crew captured a lot of footage, and they all felt they had a bright future ahead.

After that, their catching work did not go so smoothly. Not only did they not catch any more dinosaurs, but they were also harassed by large blood-sucking mosquitoes, and some team members almost choked to death in the mud swamp.

Everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, and they miscalculated the dosage of the dinosaur anesthetic, which caused the little dinosaur to wake up early and scream.

At first they didn't pay attention and didn't catch other dinosaurs, but there is already one alive, and it's still so energetic, which is a good thing.

Things went wrong quickly.

The sound of the dinosaurs was not indiscriminate, and soon attracted a large group of dinosaurs, and surrounded them in an instant.

Then there was a chaotic battle.

They both had guns, but in the woods, the small predatory dinosaurs were too agile for them to take aim.

While fighting and retreating, the crew and the camera crew killed six or seven people before they returned "inside" the high wall in embarrassment, and the dinosaur was also lost.

After they were safe, they yelled at each other, but the leader didn't want to leave just like that.

Their reasons are very good. If they just slipped away like this, wouldn't those people die in vain?

Therefore, they should catch dinosaurs and film them, so that they can pay more compensation to those families after making profits.

Moreover, their initial capture operation was successful. If they had not been greedy and had captured one animal and transported it to the boat without going deep into the virgin forest, there would not have been the slightest danger.

The people below were persuaded by the leader. After all, what the leader said was right. They did succeed in the beginning. If they had left at that time, even if there was only one dinosaur, they could still make a lot of money.

If your heart is moved, then act!

In the next few days, they were active in the "periphery" of the forest, and they really caught several different types of dinosaurs, and they were not too big.

Every time they caught one, they carried it back to the ship. After doing this three or four times, they became bolder.

Of course, they still dare not go deep into the jungle, but they will not return to the cargo ship every time, but put the captured monsters into the gathering place of the indigenous people, and they also rely on the high wall to rest there.

But no one expected that the natives who had been beaten away before would actually come back and light the huge torch on the city wall, turning the gathering area into "day" in the dark night.

And that unscrupulous light at night directly attracted a frightening giant beast.

The final result is now like this, the heroine An was successfully captured by King Kong, and the world line was closed.

When they chatted here, Zhou Shu suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and a huge creature descended from the sky with a cold air current.

"boom!"

The huge creature landed on the ground, and a hole was smashed out of the grass, and Zhou Shu looked up along the hairy big feet, and saw the face of a giant ape.

According to visual inspection, this super giant ape, which is suspected to be King Kong, is more than 10 meters tall. Although it is covered with thick hair, Zhou Shu can still feel the huge power contained in its body.

Moreover, at the energy interface, Zhou Shu could feel the extremely strong magnetic field interference around him.

With a height of more than 10 meters, this is definitely a powerful King of the Skull Island Giant Apes!
