Chapter 24: Mark and the Iwi
On Skull Island.
Mark and Chengping, two World War II soldiers, walked carefully through the dense forest.
They never thought that one day they would come to a place where such a giant beast lay horizontally.
This is simply a horrible hell.
Everything here was beyond their understanding.
If the information here could be spread, it would cause an uproar in the entire human world.
Even with the information here, they could sell for a lot of money.
But unfortunately, for them, let alone making money from the information here, it is even a question whether they can leave alive.
They were both tired and hungry.
But they dared not stay until they found a safe shelter.
What’s worse is that the two of them had already lost their way in this endless dense forest.
The only thing we can do now is to rely on our feelings to find a direction and keep moving forward in the hope of finding a way to survive.
Another day passed.
At this time, the two men passed through the dense forest and came to a meadow by the river.
However, as soon as they came out of the dense forest and arrived at the river, they saw a scene that they would never forget.
A brachiosaurus that was more than 20 meters long fell to the ground and wailed.
In front of the brachiosaurus' belly, a terrifying creature that looked like a lizard but was more than 20 meters long and had a pointed head like a skull was gnawing on the brachiosaurus.
It's the skeleton monitor lizard.
The entire abdomen of the Brachiosaurus had been cut open by the skeleton monitor lizard, but it did not die. It could only watch in pain as the skeleton monitor lizard continued to devour its internal organs.
This was a cruel scene, and it made Mark and Cheng Ping feel cold all over.
What's even worse is.
The moment the two men emerged from the dense forest, the skeleton monitor lizard also discovered them.
If they encountered other giant beasts, Mark and Chengping might not be in any danger if they just met them.
Because for the giant beasts that are often 20 to 30 meters in size, humans are too small and cannot even fill the gaps between their teeth after one bite.
But unfortunately, what they encountered was the Skeleton Monitor Lizard.
Skeleton monitors are bloodthirsty and murderous creatures. Any creature that appears in their sight will become their target as long as it is not of the same species.
Even if it is hungry, the Skeleton Monitor Lizard will eat its own kind.
"Ow!"
Mark and Chengping were seen emerging from the dense forest.
The skeleton giant lizard roared instantly, dropped the brachiosaurus in its mouth and rushed towards Mark and Cheng Ping.
"run--"
Upon seeing this, the two men quickly dived back into the dense forest where they came from.
It has to be said that as soldiers, the two men's psychological quality and courage are indeed far beyond ordinary people.
If an ordinary person faced a skeleton giant lizard, he would have collapsed to the ground in fear. However, although these two were also afraid, they did not lose their mind and knew to run away.
Seeing Mark and Cheng Ping rushing into the woods, the skeleton monitor lizard immediately followed them into the woods.
"Boom boom boom!"
As the huge body of the skeleton monitor lizard entered the woods, it instantly knocked down trees and sent rocks flying.
Large tracts of trees were broken and collapsed along the way.
However, due to the influence of these trees, the speed of the skeleton monitor lizard was greatly hindered, so that it was unable to catch up with Mark and Cheng Ping in the first time.
But even so, the skeleton giant lizard followed the two men closely, putting them in danger many times.
Seeing the skeleton monitor lizard chasing them relentlessly, the two knew that if they continued running like this, they would be caught up sooner or later.
After running for a while, the two of them decided to flee separately to the left and right.
Seeing the two people running away separately, the Skeleton Monitor Lizard chose to chase Chengping from Sakura Country. In the end, Chengping was caught up by the Skeleton Monitor Lizard and bitten into pieces and swallowed.
At this time, Mark ran to a small hill in the distance, and his eyes were just able to see Cheng Ping being bitten and swallowed by the skeleton giant lizard.
Mark couldn’t help but feel sad in his heart.
Although he and Chengping were originally enemies fighting each other for life and death, after falling here, they turned from enemies to friends and chose to join forces. Fighting side by side for several days also made them develop friendship in their hearts.
Now watching Chengping being devoured by the skeleton giant lizard, Mark couldn't help but feel sad.
But Mark knew that now was not the time to be sad, and he was not out of danger yet.
The most urgent thing he had to do now was to escape quickly from the pursuit of this skeleton lizard.
Fortunately, Mark was lucky.
Thanks to Chengping's sacrifice, Mark finally escaped from the pursuit of the Skeleton Lizard.
After escaping from the pursuit of the Skeleton Lizard, Mark accidentally came to the Iwi tribe settlement deep in Skull Island.
After discovering Mark, who was also a human, the Iwi people rescued him and brought him back to their settlement. They did not treat Mark with hostility or rejection because he was an outsider.
Mark was completely relieved after entering the Iwi tribe’s settlement.
Afterwards, Mark also temporarily lived with the Iwi tribe, and gradually learned about the Iwi tribe and the island.
The Iwi people are the indigenous people of this island. They have lived on this island for generations, making a living by planting, farming, hunting, etc., leading a relatively primitive life.
The Iwi people cannot speak, but they can communicate in simple terms through sign language.
At the same time, in order to live on the island and defend against those terrifying beasts, the Iwi people also built a high wall. On weekdays, the tribesmen live inside the wall, and several outposts were set up outside the wall to observe the situation outside.
And after living and observing among the Iwi people, Mark also discovered.
The Iwi people believe in gods.
But the god believed by the Iwi people is a giant beast named King Kong.
Mark also discovered that he had seen the giant beast that the Iwi people believed in before. It was the gorilla, one of the three terrifying beasts that he and Chengping saw at the beginning.
"So it is the god of the Iwi tribe. No wonder it didn't attack me and Chengping at that time. From this point of view, King Kong should not be hostile to us humans."
Mark also understood something in an instant. No wonder King Kong didn't attack him and Cheng Ping at that time.
The fact that King Kong is worshipped as a god by the Iwi people shows that he has no hostility towards humans.
However, what puzzled Mark was that, since King Kong was worshipped as a god by the Iwi tribe, why were the other two giant beasts that he and Chengping saw with King Kong and seemed to have a good relationship with him not included in the Iwi tribe's beliefs?
After all, judging from their size at the time, the other two behemoths were not smaller than King Kong at all, and were even larger.
If King Kong is worshipped as a god by the Iwi people, then the other two giant beasts that seem to have a good relationship with King Kong should normally also be worshipped by the Iwi people.
But from the murals that Mark observed, the only god the Iwi people believed in was King Kong, not the other two giant beasts that he and Chengping saw at the time.
Mark was a little confused.
But Mark couldn't figure it out and didn't think too deeply about it.
Later, Mark discovered that the Iwi people were also very afraid of a creature called the Skeleton Demon, which was the same skeleton lizard that he had fought with Cheng Ping and eaten before.
Mark also discovered it through the murals of the Iwi people.
According to the murals of the Iwi tribe, King Kong is probably the only one who can fight against the Skeleton Giant Lizard.
But Mark immediately thought of the two terrifying beasts with King Kong. Those two beasts seemed to be even bigger than King Kong. Could it be that they were unable to fight against the Skeleton Lizard, especially the one among them that looked as terrifying as an Eastern Dragon.
Of the three giant beasts at that time, the one that gave Mark the greatest sense of oppression was the terrifying beast that looked like an oriental dragon.
at the same time.
When Mark arrived at the Iwi tribe’s base, he began to slowly understand the situation on Skull Island.
On the other side, Han Feng also brought King Kong to Jiaolong Island.
When crossing the sea from Skull Island to Jiaolong Island, it was the giant turtle that dragged King Kong. Since King Kong was still a landlubber, Han Feng had no choice but to let the giant turtle drag King Kong across the sea.
Then after arriving at Jiaolong Island, Han Feng started to ask King Kong to learn how to swim immediately.
Han Feng also remembered that the first battle between King Kong and Godzilla in the previous life took place on the sea. If Godzilla had not intended to kill King Kong, King Kong would have definitely been killed.
