People in ghost movies, killing people

"The season arrangements are completed and the challenge begins."

"Please read the rules carefully to avoid being eliminated accidentally."

"Thriller Town-2024-Season 3"

"Current ranking: None"

"Current points: 0"

"You can choose to unlock 0 existing props/abilities"

…

Good news: No new onerous rules are being added.

Bad news: The points required to redeem items have doubled from Season 2.

For example, if you took out a pack of instant noodles from the equipment library before, you only needed 10 points.

This invisibly increases the challenge and difficulty.

And what horror movies will exist on this initial island?

Are there other humans?

From the brief season description, Xu Zhijian can only know that he is an explorer.

As for what they are looking for, it is unclear whether their teammates are dead or alive.

It can only be explored and decrypted bit by bit.

After analyzing based on experience for a while, he felt that someone must have survived and drifted to the island.

So search as much as possible, and ask again when the time comes.

After figuring out the situation, he adjusted himself, turned around and left the beach, and carefully walked into the woods.

The sky-blocking trees blocked the blue sky, and the sunlight shined through the leaves onto the ground covered with rotten leaves.

Various unknown flowers and plants are blooming.

Everything seemed so beautiful and peaceful.

But that's just the surface, it's actually very humid and muggy.

Far less comfortable than the beach.

Xu Zhijian was thinking as he moved forward, what are the horror movies about islands?

Not much, it seems.

Those that come to mind include "Fantasy Island", "King Kong", "Little Island", etc.

But these are not pure horror movies.

It's more action-adventure, suspense.

Not very likely.

On the contrary, there are many adventure themes.

"Into the Wild", "Robinson Crusoe", "No Survival", "The Revenant", etc.

There are also classic survival documentaries such as Hungry De and Bei Ye.

There are also two super classic American dramas.

"Lost"

"The Lost World"

The second one belongs to childhood memories and is hard to see now.

In addition, the season does not play according to the rules, which makes it even more difficult to guess.

Everything is possible.

As we went deeper, there were some bugs almost as big as a finger appearing around us.

It looks like a mosquito or a dragonfly, no matter what it is, it is quite annoying.

Xu Zhijian picked up a branch and drove it back and forth, fearing that it was poisonous.

Now I am in a blank slate state, and I am about to encounter trouble but I can't handle it.

Crunch...crunch.

The dead leaves under his feet were stepped on, and as he walked, he suddenly stopped decisively.

Because I heard a small movement, except for the sound of footsteps.

It is also emitted by objects stepping on dead leaves.

But the frequency is much higher and very dense.

He held up the branch and looked around cautiously, and soon saw the grass diagonally ahead shaking due to the collision.

An object that is basically the same color as a dead leaf is coming quickly!

You really can't tell if you don't look carefully.

It's so close.

The thing running towards me quickly revealed its true appearance. Good guy, it was a giant arthropod!

By visual inspection, it should be at least three meters long and half a meter wide.

The whole body is covered with segments of hard shell, like the body of a lobster.

Moreover, both sides were covered with tentacles, at least dozens of pairs.

Its head has a pair of very long tentacles and a pair of huge mouths like pliers.

It's completely like a centipede magnified N times.

"Fake...!"

Xu Zhijian couldn't help but feel a little numb. It wasn't because he was afraid, but because he felt sick.

Many people also have a fear of bugs, such as cockroaches, maggots, caterpillars, etc.

I felt uncomfortable when I saw it.

The giant insect slowly raised its upper body, about two meters high, and felt very oppressive.

As he slowly backed away, he felt that this creature looked very familiar.

A specific name quickly came to mind.

It's an ancient millipede!

Knock on the blackboard: It’s the mainland, not the road.

This creature lived in the Carboniferous Period about 300 million years ago, an era known as giant insects.

The fifth age of paleontology.

Because the strata formed during this period contain rich coal, it is named Carboniferous.

And the giant millipede is also called millipede, millipede, scale worm, etc.

It is one of the largest terrestrial arthropods in history, Myriapoda, Diplopoda.

It is the ancestor of modern millipedes.

This creature can spray a liquid with a pungent smell, which can blind people for a moment.

But the problem is.

This thing disappeared during the mass extinction.

Now, it appears on this mysterious island.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the millipede moved its body and suddenly attacked quickly.

Xu Zhijian also retreated decisively and quickly.

Now he has no weapons on him, and he can't beat such a huge creature at all.

The best thing to do is to run.

However, the millipede has hundreds of legs, and it is impossible to run away simply.

It soon caught up with him.

Bang!

Xu Zhijian swung the stick and stabbed it.

Weapons of this level cannot break the defense, but it also made the millipede's body stunned for a moment.

He then hit it twice more and continued to run.

The millipede also continued to chase.

Puff!

At the same time, a stream of dark green liquid spurted out of his mouth.

Although he did not have the ultimate human skills now, he had not lost his years of combat experience.

Xu Zhijian instinctively and quickly jumped sideways and rolled on the ground to avoid it.

The liquid splashed on the grass.

There was no obvious situation for the time being, but the smell was quite unpleasant.

Seeing that continuous attacks were fruitless, the millipede was obviously anxious and broke its defense.

The speed of pursuit was also faster.

At this time, Xu Zhijian picked up a big stone, turned around and smashed it hard while running.

The millipede staggered again.

At the same time, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the woods next to it without warning.

It pointed directly at the millipede.

In the blink of an eye, it was entangled with it.

Xu Zhijian heard the movement and looked back, and was slightly surprised again.

Because the monster that suddenly appeared was also a huge monster.

It was about three meters long, and its body was dark brown, similar to a tree trunk, with slightly white stripes.

It had claws on its limbs and a long, thick tail.

It had a bloody mouth that could basically bite off a cow's head in one bite.

This was a giant lizard!

I couldn't remember what it was called.

The two fought fiercely for a moment, and then separated and confronted each other at a distance.

"Squeak... Squeak..."

The monitor lizard stuck out its long tongue and waited for an opportunity.

The millipede also turned its body, making a crackling sound to look for an opportunity.

Puff!

After a moment, it sprayed dark green liquid again.

Seeing this, the monitor lizard dodged quickly, as if it understood the horror of this thing.

Then it rushed forward again.

The battle began again.

Xu Zhijian glanced at it and continued to run. No matter who won, it had nothing to do with him.

Staying away from danger was the best policy.

After running for a while, a message came, and then he stopped to take a breath and rest.

"Evade the giant millipede and get 10 season points"

It's so exciting, but only gets so few points.

It's just an ordinary ancient creature.

It's hard to deal with now because there are no weapons. If I had a machete, I would have the confidence to fight.

He rested and thought again, what exactly is this island?

How many unknown creatures and monsters are hidden?

No wonder the theme of the season is called the Lost Era, it really fits.

A name popped up in my mind: Skull Island.

Although I don't think it has much to do with "King Kong", there are ancient giant creatures.

This is very similar.

There are two versions of the so-called Skull Island.

First of all, there is such an island in the real world, located somewhere in the Indian Ocean.

It's a very ordinary deserted island.

The most mysterious and critical one is the second one.

When humans launched the Age of Exploration, countless unknown creatures and places were discovered.

Skull Island spread during that period.

It was passed on by word of mouth by sailors on long voyages, and became a nightmare from some navigation notes and sketches.

Legend has it that the island is hidden in the fog all year round, and there are many prehistoric monsters on it.

For example, dinosaurs that have long been extinct, insects several meters long, etc.

And advanced civilizations that seem to be left by aliens!

In the early 20th century, there were expeditions one after another, but what greeted them was a terrifying hell.

"I never thought that my companions who had breakfast with me would become lunch for dinosaurs in less than three hours."

"Humans are as weak and humble as mice, and here people are prey."

"What did I see? God! Is this the earth I know?"

This is the evaluation of the survivors on Skull Island.

In addition, about 3,000 years ago, a highly developed civilization developed here.

The humans here have their own buildings, and there are also characteristics mixed with religious beliefs.

They are very keen on human sacrifice and worship of the dead.

They also have very high construction technology, building large halls and large stone buildings.

The architectural style is similar to the stone walls of Micronesia.

The ancient civilization built a city at the highest point on the island, surrounded by a 38-kilometer-long wall in diameter.

It was originally built to protect ancient civilizations from being destroyed by other things.

Including dinosaurs, giant gorillas, and many other things.

But it was later destroyed for unknown reasons.

It was not until the outbreak of World War II that all expeditions stopped surveying, and this mysterious island mysteriously disappeared.

Some say it was because of a strong earthquake that the island sank directly to the bottom of the sea.

Some say it moves, rippling around like a ghost ship.

etc.

I really wish no one knew about it.

The only existing archive of Skull Island is rumored to have been sealed by the National Museum of American History in 1933.

Later, Hollywood made a movie based on this legend called "King Kong".

The one who fucks the woman he loves on the rooftop.

…

After resting for a moment, Xu Zhijian continued to move forward with the stick.

As I walked, I found a patch of relatively short trees ahead.

There are also many dark red fruits on it, some like pomegranate or passion fruit.

It may be that the shell is too thick in ancient times and there is no smell.

After taking a closer look, I still couldn't tell what it was.

This touches on the blind spot of knowledge.

"I wonder if I can eat it?"

He looked at the fruits with surprise and confusion, not sure.

According to the laws of nature, the more beautiful the color and appearance of an object, the more poisonous it is.

Don't eat casually.

You have to try it out in a way.

Thinking about it, he picked one and crushed it with his foot. The flesh inside was light green.

The smell that comes out is very light, a bit like cucumber.

Then he stood aside and waited patiently.

If an animal comes over and eats it, it means it is not poisonous.

After waiting for a few minutes, an insect with an index finger twisted its body and crawled inside and began to eat.

I ate a large piece of pulp within a few minutes.

Nothing went wrong after that, and he was still very active.

"NICE!"

Xu Zhijian was happy when he saw this, and he could basically conclude that this fruit was not poisonous.

But to be on the safe side, I didn’t eat it directly.

Because there is another possibility.

That's because this kind of bug is specially designed to suppress this kind of fruit, even if it's poisonous, it's okay.

Just like humans can eat chocolate, dogs can't eat the same thing.

So I picked a lot and put them in my pocket, taking them away first.

Time passes gradually.

From experience, I feel that around five o'clock in the afternoon, the light suddenly dims.

The sunlight had been blocked by the trees, but now it was equivalent to seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

Very dark.

But I could barely see something.

Darkness is dangerous because many creatures come out at night.

It's too dangerous to act rashly.

He gave up and prepared to rest where he was.

Looking around, I found a big tree next to me with a very thick trunk.

It's almost big enough for one person to lie down on.

Then an idea came to him, and he climbed up with all his strength.

Wilderness survival experience value 1: It is best to stay in a high place when spending the night.

He has seen a lot of wilderness survival columns, and he still understands this.

Sitting down carefully against the tree trunk, Xu Zhijian opened the fruit and tried to take a few bites.

I have tested it several times before and I am sure it is not poisonous.

Very crispy, not too sweet, and really almost like eating a cucumber.

He ate in silence, while being alert to the movements around him to avoid being exposed.

The environment became darker and darker, and various rustling sounds began to come from the silent forest.

That's when unknown creatures started to move out.

There are also faint sounds of waves.

Ga——!

At this moment, a sharp and crisp cry suddenly came from the sky.

Xu Zhijian immediately looked up.

Through the blurred moonlight, I could barely see a black shadow whizzing past.

Judging from the visual sense, it is extremely huge!
