Although Skull Island is nominally an island, it is much larger than a normal island.According to Merlin's estimates, it would take at least 7-10 days to walk around the island at a normal person's pace.And the island has a wide variety of terrain, including forests, hills, swamps, mountains, and more.Such a diverse terrain, coupled with an enclosed ecosystem, has led to the birth of many creatures within Skull Island that cannot exist in the outside world.KONG is just one of the wonders that Skull Island has bred.A white tiger is lazily walking by the river.It is similar in appearance to an ordinary tiger, but it is 3 laps larger than an ordinary tiger, 4-5 meters tall, and at least 12 meters long with a tail, and it is estimated that the weight of this behemoth should be close to 5 tons.But it walked almost silently, like a silent hunter, its yellow eyes looking around as if it were patrolling its territory.With an inaudible sound, Merlin, who was hiding in a tree, got a picture of a white tiger drinking water.He recorded the horror hunter's stats in his notebook as part of his assessment of Skull Island.Merlin also had a copy of Dr.
Serizawa's notebook, which he had taken with him when he left 1 day ago.In this notebook about Skull Island, Dr.
Serizawa records the habits of many of the island's creatures in detail.For example, the surprisingly large white tiger in front of him, in the doctor's notes, it is called the "Holy Tiger".It is said that in the legend of the indigenous people of Skull Island, this tiger is the "spirit of the wind", and it comes and goes silently, as fast as lightning, like a killing spirit wrapped in the wind.The number of such holy tigers is not large, and this is normal.The tigers are all solitary creatures, and with the size of Skull Island, there are no more than 30 holy tigers, each of which has their own hunting grounds, and occupies the third position in the food chain of Skull Island.KONG IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE CREATURE AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN, THEN THERE ARE THE MANY SKELETON MONITOR LIZARDS THAT HIDE UNDERGROUND, AND THEN THERE ARE ALIEN BEASTS LIKE THE HOLY TIGER AND THE BROODMOTHER SPIDER.The island's food chain is weird and complete.It is precisely because of this that this island can survive for more than 100,000 years without being separated from the external ecology.Merlin wrote down his conclusions in his notebook, and then glanced at the holy tiger basking in the sun on the reef by the river.He turned, picked up his bag, and left the place in smoke.Merlin didn't have much time to explore freely, so he could only quickly search the entire island and record the general terrain and biological divisions as the first valuable research information for Skull Island within S.H.I.E.L.D.Merlin made his way up the steep peak, he showed his figure at the top of the peak, and then looked out over the terrain of Skull Island, the southernmost four different terrain areas had been almost explored, and it was time to go back.And just as Merlin was planning the route of exploration, a tremor from the canyon not far away made Merlin turn around.In the super vision given by the Vision, Merlin easily spotted a behemoth moving in the water of the canyon.That's the mysterious KONG!
Merlin was immediately interested.FOR MORE THAN A DAY, HE HAD BEEN TRYING TO FIND KONG, BUT THE ORANGUTAN WAS APPARENTLY VERY GOOD AT HIDING ITSELF, AND ITS NEST MUST BE SOMEWHERE HIDDEN IN THE MOUNTAINS, AND IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME FOR A GOOD EXPLORER LIKE MERLIN TO FIND IT.Merlin turned into smoke and spread out in the direction of the canyon, carefully hiding himself between the cols to avoid being spotted by the extremely perceptive KONG.He looked down in mid-air, and the gorilla was standing in the lake, constantly holding the water in his hands, as if to clean his body."
Well, it's still an orangutan who likes to be clean."
Merlin commented.Like an invisible voyeur, he hides in mid-air and watches the king of Skull Island bathe.But let's be honest, it's not fun to watch an orangutan take a bath...
MERLIN REESTIMATED KONG'S HEIGHT AND REACH, AND HE TOOK PICTURES OF THE YOUNG TITAN FROM ALL DIRECTIONS, AND IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES, KONG NIMBLY CAUGHT SEVERAL STRANGE BIG FISH FROM THE LAKE AND THREW THEM ON THE SHORE WITH A WAVE OF HIS HAND.This should also be predation."
It's like Serizawa recorded that it prefers to eat fish, and maybe some wild fruits and other foods."
Merlin memorized the information in detail, and after a few minutes, Merlin frowned and looked to the other side of the lake.HE COULD FEEL THAT UNDERWATER, A LARGE CREATURE WAS APPROACHING KONG, SEEMINGLY TAKING IT FOR PREY.This immediately intrigued Merlin.On Skull Island, KONG has almost no natural predators, what is this creature hidden in the water?
Having such a big appetite?
HE LOOKED BACK AT KONG, THE ORANGUTAN WHO WAS OBSESSED WITH CLEANING HIS FUR DIDN'T SEEM TO REALIZE THE DANGER, AND EVEN STUCK HIS FINGER INTO THE WATER AND MADE A SPLASH TO HIMSELF.But that's just the appearance.MERLIN COULD SEE THAT KONG'S LEGS WERE STRAIGHT IN THE WATER AND HIS EARS WERE MOVING, WHICH MEANT THAT THE CUNNING ORANGUTAN WAS READY TO HUNT AND KILL.It pretends to be innocent, luring the creatures under the water to come close to it!"
WHOA" TWO BLOOD-RED, SUCKER-COVERED TENTACLES FLEXIBLY WRAPPED AROUND KONG'S LEGS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WATER, LIKE A FORAGING POISONOUS SNAKE, AND THE HUGE POWER FROM THE WATER PULLED KONG TO A STUMBLING SIDE.TWO MORE TENTACLES PIERCED OUT OF THE WATER LIKE SWORDS, WRAPPED AROUND KONG'S ARMS, AND PULLED IT FRANTICALLY TO THE BOTTOM.It was only then that Merlin finally saw the ambusher's appearance clearly.It was a strange bright red octopus, much like a king squid, but it was larger than the largest aquatic creature in human cognition.COUNTING THE TENTACLES, IT'S BARELY SMALLER THAN KONG.In terms of size alone, these two are creatures of the same level, but KONG is still in the growth stage, and after completing maturity, this underwater octopus is definitely not KONG's opponent.And even now, in the face of the juvenile KONG, the octopus under the water is also very difficult.KONG, who had been prepared, was like a tug-of-war with an octopus underwater, it grabbed the tentacles wrapped around its arms with both hands, its huge body leaned forward, and in a roar that resounded through the canyon, the octopus that wanted to pull KONG into the water, almost its entire body, was pulled out of the water by KONG with brute force.This scene, like the battle between the gods and the sea monster Kraken in Norse mythology, is so thrilling.The nimble orangutan turned around in the water, picked up a sharp rock from the water, roared and smashed it at the octopus below.It's like orangutans breaking nuts with stones.Once, twice...
In the splash of the lake, the blood splashed in the water made Merlin feel a chill in his neck.He knew that this reckless octopus was dead.KONG QUICKLY TORE OPEN THE OCTOPUS'S BODY, IT UNTIED THE WEAK TENTACLES FROM ITS ARM, AND SAVAGELY TORE OFF A PIECE, JUST LIKE A KOREAN EATING SQUID, IT PUT THE BRIGHT RED TENTACLES INTO ITS MOUTH, CHEWED IT A FEW TIMES, AND SHOWED A LOOK OF ENJOYMENT ON ITS ANTHROPOMORPHIC FACE.It's as if a foodie is enjoying the deliciousness.KONG DRAGGED HIS LOOT AND THREW THE HUGE, LIFELESS OCTOPUS ONTO THE SAND.The orangutan went to the woods by the lake, picked a tough tree, uprooted it, and then swiped off all the branches with his fingers.It strung the octopus one by one on the trunk of the tree, and the fish it had caught before on the other end of the trunk, and then carried the tough trunk through the lake, and soon disappeared between the mountains.Merlin was on the beach, holding a test tube and collecting some of the blood and scattered flesh of the horrible octopus on the beach.HE QUICKLY SPREAD HIS BODY AND FOLLOWED KONG FROM A DISTANCE IN A SMOKEY MANNER, TRYING TO FIND KONG'S LAIR.BUT AS THE FOLLOWER KONG TRAVERSES THE MOUNTAINS, MERLIN IS SOON CAUGHT BY SOMETHING ELSE.HE GAVE UP TRACKING KONG AND LANDED IN A VALLEY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND.The valley was very secretive, and it was obscured by some strange mist, and Merlin stood at the entrance of the valley, and he felt that the temperature in the valley was very high, and the smoke in front of him seemed to be poisonous.He held out his finger and dotted the pendant hanging from his neck, and Carol's mask quickly covered Merlin's mouth and nose.He turned into smoke, and little by little, he melted into the misty valley in front of him, and after a few minutes, Merlin noticed something surprising.Two skeletons.HUGE, KONG-LIKE BONES ARE SCATTERED SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY.The skeleton is probably intact, but there are obvious signs of tearing on these infiltrating bones.Merlin also found some disgusting food scraps between the bones.This proves that there are other creatures in this valley.And Merlin found that under the two skeletons, there were several passages to the ground, filled with poisonous gas, so black that even with a strong flashlight, the bottom of the crypt could not be seen.Merlin reached out and touched the soil of the cavern that led to the underground, and the speculations that Dr.
Serizawa had told him on the way popped into his mind."
The existence of the Titans shows that the theory of the hollowness of the earth is correct.In the world, there must be a passage to the hollow world of the mantle layer, and the hurricanes that Skull Island does not disperse all year round are also formed because of strong air movements...
It is likely that there is a passage to the underworld on this island. ”"So—" Merlin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the deep passage in front of him, and said, "Is this the gateway to a new world?"
”"It's a shiver, the place where the mule is buried is more elaborate than here."
He shook his head, but the next moment, Merlin jumped into the tunnel.For ordinary researchers, going into such a tunnel that is nearly 70 degrees vertical alone is simply looking for death, not to mention that this is located in the hinterland of Skull Island, and KONG, who has a strong sense of territory, will not allow outsiders to go deep here.But for Merlin, who has the ability, he can find a way back to this cave wherever it leads.He turned into smoke and descended the dark cavern, the darkness could not obscure his gaze, and everything around him had no secrets in Merlin's eyes.After nearly 10 minutes of almost vertical descending, Merlin fell into an empty underground cavern.He didn't show his figure, but looked around vigilantly.An indescribable stench permeated the cavern, and Merlin was no stranger to it.This is the smell of those skeleton monitor lizards, which means that this is the survival place of the skeleton monitor lizard underground.An unpleasant, high-pitched roar came from the deeper depths of the darkness, and Merlin followed the sound as he made his way through the cavern in all directions.It's a bit scorching underground, just right for the ugly lizards to thrive.A few minutes later, Merlin was in the depths of the cavern, where he stood on a depression and looked down, where several small skeletal monitor lizards were biting at the corpse of a dead Lonely Reef Bull Demon.At the entrance of the cave, a huge skeletal monitor lizard was resting on the ground in a strange posture.IT WAS LARGER THAN THE 7 SKELETAL MONITOR LIZARDS KILLED BY KONG AND MERLIN IN THE SWAMP, AND THE SKIN ON ITS BODY WAS NOT AS GREY-CYAN AS THE OTHER MONITOR LIZARDS.The pattern on its body is darker, the claws used to support its body are larger, the bone plates on its face for defense are thicker, and the tail on its back has black bone plates and bone spurs, which looks very oppressive.This is supposed to be the leader of the Skeleton Monitor Lizard.Merlin didn't alarm the unruly beast, he recorded the living environment and characteristics of the beast, and explored deeper into the cavern.At the bottom of the cavern there was a wider tunnel, and where the cavern and the tunnel met, Merlin found many scattered bones, in fact, it was like a battlefield of wild beasts, covered with torn bodies and scales.On top of that, in this place filled with the smell of blood, there were not only the bones of skeleton monitor lizards, but also the bones and torn bodies of many other creatures.Merlin crouched beside the massive bones, he touched the horrible bite marks on the bones, the teeth marks were thicker than his fingers, and in the darkness there were specks of fluorescence on the bones.He could imagine what a fierce battle for the Behemoth had taken place here.And judging by the half-weathered bones around, it is clear that there has been more than one war here.The skeletal monitor lizards nesting above seem to periodically fight behemoths that rush out from deeper underground.Merlin stood up, he gathered a few relatively intact bone samples around him, he looked left and right, and he finally revealed another secret of the skeleton monitor lizard.These demonic creatures aren't just destroyers of the Skull Island food chain, they're also an important part of the larger ecosystem.They live and reproduce here, and although they go to the surface to hunt for food, they also accidentally prevent the invasion of underground creatures on the ground, like a "biological wall" separating the surface world from the underground world."
Nature's workmanship."
Merlin sighed, and he pulled out his camera and snapped a picture of the bone-wrapped cavern in front of him that led deeper underground.He also recorded the surrounding pile of bones, and then in his notebook, he wrote down the location of this underground passage.Finally, he marked the tunnel with its name.95084。
