Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 118 9. Underground Demon [41100]

Dr. Serizawa is the most in-depth study of ancient Titans biologists in the Imperial organization.

In the years of studying ancient giant beasts, he has also seen many strange phenomena and scenes, and he has fallen into dangerous situations more than once.The moment Merlin looked up, Dr. Serizawa turned his gun to the other side of the swamp.

But he is an ordinary person, and he still can't feel the weak vibration from far to near.

Merlin put away the test tube full of blood in his hand, he quickly rushed to Serizawa, and led him all the way to the place where the car was parked.

While running, the two looked back. On the other side of the swamp, there were grass clippings and water splashes being thrown into the air, and some startled birds were flying around. Obviously, there was something, Come out of the ground.

Seeing this scene, Merlin asked in a deep voice:

"I heard you say that the island has not been peaceful recently? Mark also said something like a 10-year deadline. What does this mean?"

"It's a colony of lizards living underground on Skull Island. We call it the 'Skeleton Monitor'."

Dr. Serizawa was breathing nervously. He was holding a shotgun in his hand, but this extremely lethal weapon could not give him a sense of security at this moment.

He knew what might happen next.

He followed Merlin towards the direction of the vehicle while panting and said:

"A terrifying, depraved giant creature. It is KONG's mortal enemy on this island. In 1973, members of the surviving Emperor Organization left some written materials. Those terrifying carnivorous lizards have intricate passages under the island. Tunnels, they hunt within the scope of the entire island, and any creature on the island other than KONG is their prey."

"Even... even KONG is..."

Dr. Serizawa said with some fear:

"Actually, there is a secret canyon in the northern part of the Skull Island mountain, and there are some creepy secrets in it."

"boom"

Merlin opened the car door. He pushed Dr. Serizawa into the car and sat in the driver's seat. He turned around while starting the car, and there was already a pungent smell of blood in the swamp where they had just stayed behind. come over.

The Lone Reef Bull Demon who was anesthetized by them is probably finished...

In the state of spiritual vision, Merlin could vaguely see a distorted, weird, and instinctively disgusting huge creature by the distant pool, eating the flesh and blood of its prey.

It is also a giant creature, about 10 meters long, it has a long, snake-like tail, a head covered with a skeleton bone armor, and a bird-like mouth, and the weirdest thing is that this depraved giant lizard There are only a pair of legs on the shoulders, with sharp and ferocious claws, and weird barbs on both sides of the legs.

It doesn't look like a serious monster at first glance.

"What's in that valley?"

Merlin clenched the steering wheel tightly, and at this moment, the car god possessed him. While the lizard was feasting, Merlin drove the car in a wild posture, allowing the off-road vehicle to draw a semicircular arc on the ground, With the roar of the engine, it carried Merlin and Serizawa all the way towards the beach.

Merlin tried his best to spread his dark perception while driving.He asked in a deep voice:

"What is that creepy secret you mentioned?"

Dr. Serizawa suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing through his body, and he shivered subconsciously. He held the shotgun, looked left and right, and whispered:

"KONG is an infant, you already know it, but don't you doubt, where are KONG's parents?"

"The big monkey didn't jump out of the rock."

Merlin says:

"I'm sure I'm curious about this. But you members of the Emperor's Organization are very tight-lipped, aren't you?"

"Don't be mad, Dr. Merlin. We didn't mean to keep this a secret."

Dr. Serizawa explained:

"I originally planned to tell you when I went to the island... KONG's parents were once the king of Skull Island. They are real adult titans, with a height of more than 200 feet and a weight of at least 3 tons, but even so The terrifying creature also died in the siege of the skeleton monitor lizard that came out of the ground."

"According to the materials left by the exploration operation in 1973, KONG's parents killed at least nearly a hundred skeleton monitor lizards before they died, but they still died of exhaustion due to excessive blood loss. According to the bone fragments they brought back According to the test results, it should have been at least 300 years ago."

"In 1973, several members of the Emperor Organization helped the injured KONG kill the leader of the skeleton monitor lizard, but according to our continuous observation, those lizards seem to have given birth to a new leader, and there will be a new leader every 10 years. KONG hunted underground, but KONG was getting stronger and stronger, and learned to use weapons in the 1973 mortal combat...so the attacks of these lizards ended in failure."

"and many more"

Merlin stretched out his finger and interrupted Dr. Serizawa's narration, he said:

"You just said that KONG can use weapons?"

"Yes."

Dr. Serizawa nodded:

"According to the information we have collected on the Titans, even after KONG is an adult, its physical fitness is not top-notch among the ancient Titans, but its intelligence, flexibility, and talent for learning are not possessed by other Titans. In 1973, KONG accidentally injured the leader of the Skeleton Monitor with the propeller of a sunken ship, and since then, it has tried to use external force to fight."

"It learns very quickly."

Dr. Serizawa sighed.

But at the next moment, Merlin's ears moved suddenly. He reached out and pulled off the seat belt on Dr. Serizawa's body, then grabbed his clothes, jumped up from the seat of the vehicle, and rushed towards the ground next to him. .

Behind them, the off-road vehicle that was driving was bitten by a ferocious creature rushing out from the ground the next moment. Between the interlaced sharp teeth that were like knives, the vehicle made of steel was bitten abruptly. broken.

"boom"

The fuel tank of the car hit the ground in front of Merlin's eyes. He and Dr. Serizawa raised their heads and saw the skeleton monitor lizard rushing out of the ground supporting the ground with its sharp claws, and the ugly cheek with a solid bone helmet Underneath, a pair of emotionless eyes were staring at the two people on the ground.

Not one lizard came, but two.The vibration caused by the first head blocked the trace of the second head, so that Merlin could not predict the existence of this underground hunter in advance.

"boom"

Dr. Serizawa subconsciously pulled the trigger towards the giant beast in front of him, and the small iron pillar shot by the shotgun hit the sturdy face of the skeleton monitor lizard, even splashing sparks.

But this attack not only failed to save the situation in front of him, but instead angered the ugly predator.

Merlin sighed, he reached out and took off his glasses, and knocked hard on the back of Dr. Serizawa's neck with his left hand. When the giant lizard opened its mouth and bit towards the two of them, Merlin's body suddenly turned into smoke, bringing Dr. Serizawa, who was in a coma, avoided the bite of the disgusting mouth.

With a single bite, the skeleton monitor lizard, which didn't have much wisdom, was stunned for a moment.

It obviously bit down on the two humans, but at this moment the two little bugs disappeared strangely.

It supported its body with its claws and shook its head from side to side, like a snake, using its scent to sense the disappearing prey.In the grass more than ten meters away from the monitor lizard, Merlin hid the unconscious Dr. Serizawa in the grass, and then took the flare gun from the doctor's waist.

He stood up in the grass, looked at the fuel tank that had been thrown on the ground, and then looked at the flare gun in his hand. The next moment, Merlin's figure disappeared again.

"Hey!"

A few meters behind the giant lizard, Merlin kicked the fuel tank and stood up, shouting at the monster.The tail of the latter's soul flicked towards Merlin like a long whip, but failed to hit him.

The smoky body is extremely useful when facing such super creatures. No matter how powerful they are, they can't hurt Merlin through the smoke.

Seeing that the tail attack didn't work, the giant skeleton lizard turned around and let out an unpleasant, sharp hiss. Its mouth full of criss-crossed sharp teeth bit at Merlin fiercely like lightning. At the same time, Merlin threw After getting out of the fuel tank in his hand and adding the levitation technique, the heavy fuel tank was easily thrown into the lizard's open mouth.

He raised the flare gun and looked at the terrifying sharp teeth from top to bottom.

The next second, he pulled the trigger.

"whoosh"

The scorching red flare blasted into the giant lizard's mouth, igniting the fuel tank full of oil, and the blue flame suddenly ignited, and the next moment, the dazzling flame exploded in the monster's mouth.

"boom"

The scorching flames rushed along the mouth of the skeleton monitor lizard all the way to both ends, and Merlin saw a bright light glowing under the mucous membrane of the ugly lizard's throat and chest.

Merlin pulled out the magic wand at his waist, and accurately hit the giant lizard's mouth with a shattering spell, forcing it to swallow the scorching flames of the explosion forcefully.

For any beast, no matter how tough its fur is, its internal organs are soft.

After this fatal explosion, the body of the skeleton monitor lizard swayed, and it fell into Merlin's eyes like a collapsing mountain peak.Beneath the hideous plate of its face the last gleam of light had faded from those unfeeling eyes.

And in its open mouth, blackened by the flames, there was a disgusting, grilling smell.

"Well...it's not difficult to deal with."

Merlin threw the empty flare gun on the ground. He looked at the completely dead skeleton monitor lizard in front of him. This thing looked scary, but it was also a creature of flesh and blood. It would bleed, hurt, and die.

Facing this kind of thing is much easier than facing Ronan the Kerry accuser.Although the former's stature is almost 10 times that of the latter...

But body size cannot determine combat effectiveness.

Merlin looked left and right. Behind him, the skeleton monitor lizard that had eaten the Lone Reef Bull Demon also rushed towards him. Obviously, it was the fight between his companions and Merlin that attracted the ugly guy's attention.

These monitor lizards live in groups, which means that they have certain group behaviors, such as cooperation when hunting, and the death of their companions will stimulate their wild thinking and so on.

Merlin spotted the monitor lizard rushing behind him, but he didn't dodge, but just stood there, watching the monitor lizard let out an extremely ugly roar, and then opened its mouth to bite him.

Merlin looked as if he had been frightened out of his wits.

"Swish"

His body, the place where he was standing, and the soil on the ground were swallowed by the ferocious monitor lizard, as if it was completely torn apart and swallowed by this monster.

But before the skeleton monitor lizard, which had avenged its companion, let out a loud roar, it sensed something was wrong.

An indescribable scorching energy was swelling in its mouth, as if it had just swallowed a dangerous bomb alive.

The monitor lizard sensed a crisis, it shook its head and opened its mouth, trying to "spit" Merlin out.

But the black smoke entrenched in its mouth became brighter and brighter. The rapidly gathering magic power and the burning light like a substantial fire all represented that the magic power explosion driven by Merlin had reached its final step.

This is the second time Merlin has used a magic explosion after getting the power fragment of Mad Dog Morris.

Last time, he used this method to attack the powerful Ronan, leaving a few insignificant scars on the almost invincible Kree.

But that doesn't mean that Merlin's strengthened magical explosion is weak...not really.

It's just that Ronan is too strong, the most powerful warrior among the Kree, who is capable enough to resist Merlin's all-out blow.But the unlucky skeleton monitor lizard in front of him couldn't create a force field shield out of thin air.

"boom"

The terrifying explosion was like the sunshine that appeared at noon on Skull Island. The magic power in Merlin's body gathered in the ultimate explosion. The skeleton monitor lizard that swallowed it seemed to be thrown into the scorching heat In the blinding furnace, its mouth disintegrated first in that dazzling explosion, charred flesh was torn from the skeleton, and then the skeleton was burned by the scorching flames.

Then came the slender body like a snake, those twisted bone plates in the back, the cartilage and internal organs in the body, and finally the claws and tail.

After the light dissipated in just a few seconds, Merlin stood where he was just now. Behind him, the 12-meter-long, ferocious lizard was left with only a pile of disgusting meat. and broken bones.

Standing on the ground, Merlin who had dealt with the two skeleton monitor lizards quickly frowned.

The vibration under the ground has not disappeared. To be precise, because of the explosion just now, the vibration seems to be getting more and more intense.

More skeletal lizards are running underground, and Merlin is in trouble.

"Swish"

He pulled out a black one-handed sword from his magic pocket. This sword was a bit odd in style, but it was sharp and perfectly balanced.This is the weapon he seized from the staunch Kree warrior Korath. This thing could have been used to make a green light blade, but the activation of the light blade was blocked by the identity of the Kree warrior.

But it's still sharp enough.

Merlin drew out his wand Lola again, and he reached out and tapped on the pendant on his chest, and the Cree armor that Carol gave him quickly covered the lower half of his face.

Merlin was ready for battle.

Around this swamp not far from the beach, one after another skeleton monitor lizards rushed out from under the ground. In just a few seconds, Merlin was surrounded by 5 ugly monsters.

However, at the same moment as the last monster rushed out of the ground, a strange sound of breaking wind also sounded in the sky on the other side of the swamp, as if some kind of heavy object was falling fast.

Merlin looked up.

In his spirit vision, he clearly saw a rusty, heavy metal propeller belonging to a ship flying. Like a meteor hammer, it was dragged by a thick chain and fell towards the ground at high speed.

A skeleton monitor lizard sensed the crisis, and it hurriedly rushed down to the ground to avoid it, but the smashed propeller was too fast, too fast, and too fierce, like a falling meteor, it hit its body fiercely , smashing its slender tail and body completely.

The monitor lizard let out a painful roar, and the next moment, a roaring giant stone spear precisely pierced through its head, like a spearfish, nailing the struggling skeleton monitor lizard to death. on the ground.

"bang"

A brown-black colossus jumped down from the mountain behind and landed on the swampy ground. The terrifying vibration was like a sudden earthquake.

The monitor lizards that were about to start hunting immediately became agitated. Merlin raised his head. As the skeleton monitor lizards scattered and fled in all directions, and as the billowing smoke dissipated, he finally saw the figure of the huge monster in front of him clearly.

It is more than 30 meters high, and its whole body is covered with brown-black mane. It swings the chain that fixes the propeller with one hand, and grabs a huge stone spear from the ground with the other.With a flick of his hand, he threw the dead, tailless monitor lizard body into the swamp water, splashing foul-smelling water.

This is an orangutan, an upright walking orangutan that uses weapons...

This is the God of Skull Island...

This is an ancient titan...

KONG!

or call it...

King Kong.
