Although Skull Island is nominally an island, its area is much larger than the average island.
According to Merlin's estimate, at normal speed, it takes at least 7-10 days to walk around the island for a week. And the island has a variety of terrain, including forests, hills, swamps, mountains, and so on.
Such diverse terrain, coupled with a closed ecosystem, has led to the birth of many creatures inside Skull Island that cannot exist outside.
KONG is just one of the wonders of Skull Island.
A white tiger is walking lazily by the river. It looks similar to ordinary tigers, but it is 3 times larger than ordinary tigers, 4-5 meters tall, and at least 12 meters long with its tail attached. It is estimated that the weight of this behemoth should be close to 5 tons .
But it walked almost silently, like a silent hunter, and the yellow beast pupils looked around, as if it was patrolling their territory.
"Click"
Accompanied by an inaudible soft sound, Merlin hiding in the tree got a picture of the white tiger drinking water.
He recorded the data of this horror hunter in his notebook, which is also part of the evaluation of Skull Island. At Merlin's hand, there is also a copy of Dr. Serizawa's notes, which he took with him when he left a day ago.
In this note on Skull Island, Dr. Serizawa detailed the habits of many creatures on the island.
For example, the big white tiger in front of him is called "Holy Tiger" in the doctor's notes.
It is said that in the legend of Indigenous People of Skull Island, this tiger is a "elf in the wind". It comes and goes silently, as fast as lightning, just like a killing elf trapped in the wind.
The number of such holy tigers is not much, which is normal.
Tigers are lone creatures. In the area of Skull Island, there are no more than 30 holy tigers. They have their own hunting grounds and occupy the third column in the food chain of Skull Island.
KONG is undoubtedly the creature at the top of the food chain, and then there are a large number of skeleton lizards hidden under the ground, followed by alienated beasts such as holy tigers and broodmother spiders.
The food chain on this island is weird and complete.
It is for this reason that the island can survive and survive for more than 100,000 years without the outside ecology.
Merlin wrote his conclusions in the notes, and then glanced at the holy tiger basking in the sun on the reef beside the river. He turned around, carried his bag, and left the place as smoke.
There is not much time left for Merlin to explore freely. He can just search the whole island quickly and just record the approximate terrain and the division of creatures as a rule for the Skull Island inside the SHIELD. The first valuable research materials.
Merlin followed the steep mountain all the way up. He showed his shape at the top of the mountain, and then looked at the topography of Skull Island. The four different topographical areas in the southernmost part have been explored. It is time to go back.
And while Meilin was planning to explore the route, a shock from the canyon not far away sent Merlin back.
In the super vision endowed by Lingshi, Merlin easily found a behemoth moving in the lake water of the canyon.
That is the mysterious KONG!
Merlin immediately became interested.
For more than a day, he has been trying to search for KONG’s trail, but the orangutan obviously hides himself, and its nest must be in a hidden place in the mountains, even for an excellent explorer like Merlin. Say, it will take some time to find.
Merlin turned into smoke and spread towards the direction of the canyon. He carefully concealed himself between the colts to avoid being discovered by KONG, who was extremely perceptive.
He looked down in mid-air, and the gorilla was standing in the lake, constantly holding the lake with his hands, as if cleaning his body.
"Well, still a clean orangutan."
Merlin commented.
He was like an invisible voyeur, hiding in mid-air, watching the scene where the king of Skull Island bathed.
But to be honest, it's also boring to watch an orangutan take a bath...
Merlin re-estimated KONG’s height and wingspan. He took photos of the young from various directions. During these ten minutes, KONG’s skill flexibly caught several weird big fish from the lake. One With a wave of his hand, he threw the fish on the shore.
This should also be preying.
"It's like the record of Serizawa, it prefers to eat fish, maybe there are some wild fruits and other food."
Merlin memorized the information in his mind. After a few minutes, Merlin frowned and looked at the other side of the lake. He could feel that under water, a large creature was approaching KONG, as if it were prey.
This made Merlin interested.
On Skull Island, KONG has almost no natural enemies. What is this creature hidden in the water? It's such a big appetite?
He looked back at KONG. The orangutan indulging in cleaning the fur didn't seem to realize the danger. He even extended his fingers into the water and played with the splashes.
But this is just appearance.
Merlin can see that KONG's legs in the water are already straight, and his ears are moving, which means that this cunning orangutan is ready to hunt.
It pretends that there is no gap, it is to lure underwater creatures to approach it!
"Wow"
Two blood-red, sucker-covered tentacles flexibly wrapped around KONG's legs from the bottom of the water, just like a foraging viper, and the huge force from the water pulled KONG's stagger .
Two other tentacles pierced from the water like swords, wrapped around KONG's arms, and pulled it crazy towards the bottom of the water.
Until then, Merlin finally saw what the ambush was like.
It was a strange octopus bright red, much like the king squid, but this size is bigger than the largest aquatic creature in human cognition.
Counting the tentacles, it is almost no smaller than KONG.
Only in terms of body size, these two are the same level of creatures, but KONG is still in the growth stage. After completion of maturity, this underwater octopus is definitely not KONG's opponent.
Even now, in the face of KONG in its infancy, this underwater octopus is very difficult to fight.
KONG, who had been prepared for a long time, was like a tug of war with an octopus under the water. It grasped the tentacles wrapped around his arms with both hands. The huge body leaned forward. In the bursts of roaring through the canyon, the other end wanted to move KONG. The octopus pulled into the water, almost the entire body, was pulled out of the water by KONG with brute force.
This scene, like the scenes of the gods fighting the sea monster Kraken in Nordic mythology, is so thrilling.
The orangutan, who stretched out his hand and turned around in the water, touched a sharp stone from the water and roared and fell towards the underwater octopus.
It's like orangutans breaking nuts with stones.
Once, twice...
In the splashing water of the lake, the blood splashing in the water made Merlin watch a cold neck.
He knew that this reckless octopus was dead.
KONG quickly tore the body of the octopus away. It untied its weak tentacles from his arm and savagely rip off a piece of it. Just like a Korean squid, he put the bright red tentacles in his mouth. Chewing a few times, the anthropomorphic face showed a trace of enjoyment.
It seems that foodies are enjoying delicious food.
KONG dragged his spoils and threw the huge octopus on the beach. The orangutan walked into the woods by the lake, picked a tough tree, uprooted it, and then pushed it with his finger to pull off the branches of the tree.
It skewered the octopus section by section on the trunk, and skewered the fish that it had caught before on the other end of the trunk, and then carried the tough trunk, walking through the lake water, and soon disappeared into the group. Between the mountains.
Merlin showed up on the beach. He took a test tube and collected some blood and scattered flesh and blood of the scary octopus on the beach.
He quickly flicked his body away, followed by KONG far away with smoke, trying to find KONG's lair.
But when his follower KONG crossed the mountains, Merlin was quickly attracted to another thing.
He gave up following KONG and fell towards a valley north of the island.
The valley is very secret, and is covered by some strange mist. Merlin stood at the entrance of the valley. He felt the temperature in the valley was very high, and the smoke in front of him seemed poisonous.
He stretched out his fingers and nodded the pendant hanging on his neck, and Carol's mask quickly covered Merlin's muzzle.
He turned into smoke and blended little by little into the misty valley in front of him. After a few minutes, Merlin discovered something surprising.
Two bones.
The huge bones like KONG are scattered in the valley. The shape of the bones is probably still intact, but there are obvious signs of being bitten on these infiltrating bones.
Merlin also found some disgusting food residue between the bones.
This proves that there are other creatures in this valley.
And Merlin found that under the two bones, there were several channels filled with poison gas to the ground, black, and even with a strong light flashlight, they could not see the bottom of the crypt.
Merlin reached out his hand and touched the soil of this underground cave. Suddenly the speculation that Dr. Serizawa said to him on the road emerged in his mind.
"The existence of Titan shows that the theory of hollow earth is correct. In the world, there must be a passage to the hollow world of the mantle layer. The hurricane that does not disperse on Skull Island is also formed by the strong air flow... This In islands, there is likely to be a passage to the underground world."
"and so..."
Merlin narrowed his eyes and looked at the deep passage in front of him. He said:
"Is this the door to the new world?"
"True chills, where mules are buried are more particular than here."
He shook his head, but at the next moment, Merlin jumped into the tunnel.
For ordinary researchers, being alone in a tunnel that is nearly 70 degrees vertical is almost looking for death, not to mention, this is located in the hinterland of Skull Island, and KONG with a strong sense of territory will not allow outsiders to penetrate here.
But for Merlin, who has the power, he can find his way back no matter where the cave leads.
He turned into smoke and walked down the dark cave all the way. The darkness could not obscure his gaze. Everything around him had no secret in Merlin's eyes. After so nearly vertical downwards for nearly 10 minutes, Merlin fell into an empty underground cave.
He didn't show his figure, but looked around with caution.
An indescribable odor permeated the cave, and Merlin was no stranger to it.
This is the smell of those skull lizards, which shows that this is the survival place of skull lizards underground.
A burst of unpleasant sharp roars came from deeper into the darkness, and Merlin followed the sound, advancing in all directions of the cave.
The underground temperature is a bit hot, which is suitable for those ugly lizards to breed.
A few minutes later, Merlin came to the depths of the cave. He stood on a depression and looked down. In the cave below, several small skull dragons were biting a dead lonely reef The corpse of a demon. At the entrance of the cave, a huge skeleton lizard is lying on the ground to rest in a strange way.
Its size is larger than that of the seven skull monitor lizards killed by KONG and Merlin in the swamp, and its skin is not as gray-cyan as other monitor lizards.
The pattern on its body is darker, the claws used to support the body are larger, the bone plates used for defense on the face are thicker, and there are black bone plates and bone spurs on the tail behind it, which looks very oppressive.
This should be the leader of the skeleton lizard.
Merlin did not disturb the beast that was not easy to mess with. He recorded the living environment and characteristics of the beast and explored deeper into the cave.
There is a wider tunnel at the bottom of this cave, and where the cave and the tunnel meet, Merlin found a lot of scattered bones. In fact, here is like a battlefield of a beast, full of torn bodies everywhere With scales.
The most important thing is that in this place full of smell, not only the bones of the skeleton lizard, but also many bones and torn bodies belonging to other creatures.
Merlin squatted beside the giant bones. He touched the scary bite marks on the bones. The tooth marks of those bite marks were thicker than his fingers, and there was a little fluorescence on the bones in the dark.
He could imagine how fierce behemoth hegemony had happened here.
And from the surrounding half-weathered bones, it is clear that the war here has happened more than once. Skeleton monitor lizards that nest above seem to regularly battle against giant beasts that rush deeper underground.
Merlin stood up. He collected several fairly complete bone samples around him. He looked around, and he finally revealed another secret of the skeleton lizard.
These demonic creatures are not just destroyers of the Skull Island food chain, they are also an important part of the larger ecosystem.
They survive and multiply here. Although they go to the surface to hunt for food, they also unexpectedly prevent the invasion of underground creatures on the ground, just like a "biological wall" that separates the surface world from the underground world.
"Nature's awesome work."
Merlin sighed. He took out his camera and took a picture of the cave surrounded by bones that led deeper into the ground. He also recorded the surrounding piles of bones, and then wrote down the location of this underground passage in his notebook.
Finally, he marked the tunnel with a name.
