Chapter 276 Going to Skull Island to Condolences to the Pretty Boy
Chapter 276 Going to Skull Island to Condolences to the Pretty Boy
When Zhou Shu opened his eyes, he saw a group of people looking at him, and there were many helicopter shots in the sky, and his body was always shining, just like when there was a big upgrade before.
In fact, he did upgrade, otherwise Ghidorah wouldn't shine so brightly in space, and he had a share of the credit.
Thinking that his identity had been exposed anyway, he stopped pretending, and let his body glow, looking at the attribute panel on his own.

After reading the attribute panel, he expressed his satisfaction, and his lowest attribute "endurance" has been used for more than 10 points.
This time, he is a pure "God of War" who can no longer be pure, and he is also a pentagonal God of War.
According to the previous rules, he thought it was adding 0.01 again, but he didn't expect to add 0.05 at once this time, and it was all increased.
At his stage, he deeply understands how difficult it is to add 0.01, and it also proves how difficult it is to solve Ghidorah's problem.
At that time, he was controlled by Ghidorah's gravitational ray, and was carried and flew out of the atmosphere.
Thanks to Ghidorah's misjudgment, he thought that he, like other titans, could not leave the earth's environment, and that he would become fragile without the blessing of nature.
It's a pity that Zhou Shu, like it, is a "behemoth in the starry sky".
When it entered space, there was a very short moment of relaxation, but it was this relaxation that immediately made Zhou Shu seize the opportunity and directly bounced the opponent away with the combat force field.
When Ghidorah realized that the situation was wrong, three gravitational rays came immediately, and Zhou Shu immediately used the force field to accelerate and reflect them back.
With the help of the strong light from the sun rising from the horizon, Ghidorah clearly saw that a transparent plane was reversed several times, and there were more and more refracting surfaces, and some colors of the rainbow were blurred.
The transparent mirror rotates faster and faster, and the gravitational rays emitted by it are also reversed, and the speed is getting faster and faster, and the color is getting closer and closer to white.
In the end, an extremely dazzling white light flashed. It couldn't tell whether it was Zhou Shu's attack or the flash brought by the sun rising from the horizon. Anyway, it lost consciousness.
After Zhou Shu killed Ghidorah, he soon discovered that his attributes had changed, and his battle field grew very fast. Not only did he bounce off Ghidorah's restraint, but he also reflected back the opponent's attack.
Even no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the reflex ability was very similar to the attack by using the AT position after the No. [-] machine went berserk, and beat the "Xiao Li" group badly.
But after this battle, his training in this world has come to an end.
Ignoring those who wanted to speak, he soared directly into the sky. As he flew, the golden light on his body disappeared, and he slowly turned into a simple and unpretentious Zhou Shu.
He flew to New Jersey and watched the scene where Godzilla and Mothra gang fight Queen Muto.
Not to mention, it's quite interesting.
Queen Muto woke up from under the mall and directly lifted the mall. Before Mothra arrived, it had destroyed a large area. It didn't destroy it until Mothra's arrival attracted its attention.
Later Godzilla arrived and quickly packed it up.
When Godzilla and Mothra discovered that Zhou Shu had arrived, Mothra flew over and happily circled Zhou Shu several times. After all, they were considered "old friends".
Although one is inside the egg and the other is outside.
Zhou Shu was also very happy about the successful hatching of "Old Friend", but he found that Mothra seemed to be smaller than in the movie plot.
After thinking about it, I was right. After all, it is considered "premature" now, almost 10 years early.
But it doesn't matter, there are no strong enemies in this world now, it can grow up slowly.
Compared to Mothra's happiness, Godzilla's temper is not very good. After finding Zhou Shu coming, he didn't say a word, and then gave the motorcycle queen a tail, and then returned to the ocean again after making sure that it was dead.
"Huh~"
Zhou Shu was immediately happy.
What kind of king of titans is this, the whole angry kid.
But Zhou Shu didn't care, he greeted Mothra again, and left.
He will continue to tour the world, but this time he is not doing battles, because he is basically done, so this time he is going to check his homework.
Decided to leave this world, really a bit reluctant.
After a quick stroll around the world, he suddenly remembered that there was a "familiar" place that he hadn't been to before, and that was Skull Island.
He has never seen a pretty boy in this world.
Just leave as soon as you say, it’s not okay to come to this world without seeing one of the protagonists.
At this time, Skull Island has not been hit by a storm, so there are no environmental problems, and there is no conspicuous huge ecological dome.
However, Skull Island is not considered primitive, because the death organization has established the No. 33 outpost on it. While paying attention to King Kong, the resident scientists are exploring the environment of Skull Island and building a map for all the creatures on it.
Because they were running around, Zhou Shu saw them before seeing King Kong.
If someone leads the way, Zhou Shu won't have to wander around the island. And when he is about to leave here, he will just go to the island for tourism.
Well, don't look at the dangers on Skull Island, but the scenery is really good.
And compared to the Dark Skull Island in the 05 version, this Skull Island is more meaningful and more like a tourist attraction.
However, Zhou Shu soon discovered the situation. The scientific expedition team in front seemed to be in trouble and was surrounded by a beast.
This kind of beast is the jackal, the most energetic creature on the island. It has the agility of a leopard, the bite force of a great white shark, and can grow to nearly 4 meters.
The spine of this creature is partly exogenous, covered with fibrous thorns, as sharp as iron wire. They have been in a brutal and ferocious state for a long time, and attack their own kind for cannibalism, and even cannibalize themselves when there is no prey.
Researchers have reason to believe that the predatory taste of the knife-back jackal is of the same kind, because its atypical milky white blood is rich in calcium deposits, and its cruel nature to any creature it encounters makes it difficult for researchers Imagine what else runs in its veins but hatred.
Now that they have met their prey, they naturally don't have to kill each other.
This scientific expedition team all brought weapons, as well as a full-time four-member security team, and also wore a dispersant with a strong biological smell, but the dispersant was ineffective in the face of these hungry knife-back jackals.
"Fire!"
"Da da da~"
"Ow!!"
The knifeback jackal is very fast. Even though the scientific research team brought guns, their shooting skills are not good, and the four-person team is not very effective in this situation, so a lot of bullets are thrown out. Packs of knifeback jackals do little damage.
"We're fucked!"
But when the first person in the team was about to be killed by the jackal, a wooden stick flew out from nowhere, hit the jackal directly, and nailed the opponent to the ground.
Then there are continuous wooden sticks flying.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
"Puff puff-"
"Ow!"
In less than a second, all the jackals were dead, scaring several people in an instant.
"Ah, ah, we are going to die, da da da da—"
This sound is especially noticeable when the world is quiet.
And this...fucking shot with his eyes closed!
Seeing the bullets being swept towards the crowd, the people over there quickly crawled to the ground, and the security captain next to her also quickly stopped her, grabbed her gun and shouted: "It's okay, we're okay!"
"Dr. Ayrin, please put down the gun, put down the gun, you will kill us all!"
"Huh? What?"
Dr. Irene was shocked when she heard this, she quickly dropped the gun and opened her eyes.
She was also dumbfounded when she saw the situation in front of her.
And at this moment, there was a rustling sound from the nearby grass, and it was obvious that something was coming.
"alert!"
The elder brother in charge of security immediately let the gunman aim at the grass, and then saw an Asian boy walking out.
"Relax, I just started helping you."
Help us?
The security brother immediately saw the wooden sticks that nailed the jackal to the ground.
"These wooden javelins?"
"Yes, it's me."
While talking, the Asian boy took out a wooden stick out of nowhere, and threw it to the side tree trunk with a swish, nailing a snake to it with precision.
"hiss--"
Good guy, still a ruthless guy.
This boy was naturally Zhou Shu, and he joined the scientific expedition team in this way.
They asked Zhou Shu what he was doing here, and Zhou Shu said, "Travel."
Everyone: "..."
The No. 33 Outpost on Skull Island is considered to be a rare place isolated from the world, so they don't know Zhou Shu, even if they have heard about its Mechanical Titan Project, they have never seen his photo.
They knew that Zhou Shu was a ruthless person, so they didn't ask too much about his origin and purpose. Anyway, knowing that he was following him, they would be much safer waiting for others.
Along the way, they encountered many strange creatures, including tree-like monsters.
It's called the spore mantis, which looks like a stick insect the size of a mature redwood tree and can grow to about 15 meters in length.
There are powerful muscle groups in the limbs of its bark shell, among which striated tendons and fibrous tissues are intertwined, and these fibrous tissues appear more often in the stems and roots of trees.
These powerful limbs allow the spore mantis to move at high speed close to the ground.
The main body of the spore mantis wrapped in bark and vascular tissue is actually a "big slug" parasitic in the trunk, and its fangs and serrated teeth can easily crush bones.
It uses the high-protein "sap" in its body to wrap the whole body of its prey and digest it. The excreted material is in the form of amber crystals.
After this process, the researchers can clearly see the specific parts of the prey eaten by the creature, and they appreciate this highly transparent biological habit.
This thing doesn't eat people under normal circumstances, but don't take the initiative to get close to it.
After they entered a bamboo forest, they discovered another kind of monster - the long-legged female monster.
The long-legged female monster is a huge monster of the class of arachnids. These arachnids with towering lower limbs are different from any known spiders because they can grow to 5-7 meters.
Of course, it's actually a bit like a shrunken version of Scylla, that spider, octopus and conch hybrid, but the long-legged female monster really looks like a spider.
And it's only as big as a two-story building, not as big as a building-sized Scylla, not the difference between a cub and an adult.
The dense bamboo forest provides the best habitat for this slender and huge predator. When it is completely still, its long limbs are completely hidden under the cover of the bamboo forest, making the entire bamboo forest instantly deadly. trap.
The long-legged female monster may theoretically be a variation of the blind arachnid arthropods commonly known as "blind spiders". The xylem elements found in the vascular bundles at the long limbs show that the plant environment as a natural habitat has been integrated into the female monster. Among the DNA.
There are 8 sharp long knife feet at the end of the long limbs of the female monster. The tip of the knife is highly poisonous. The prey is stabbed into the ground without defense and cannot move. Then these long legs will suck the prey into the body like a straw. The live nutrition is sucked clean.
These creatures don't eat people, rather they suck their prey dry. The long-legged female monster has strong attack power, but relatively weak defense.
When they reached their destination this time, which was the King Kong Skeleton Cemetery, they met the real big guy——Skeleton Reptile!
This thing can also be regarded as the rival of King Kong's "childhood". They can grow up to 60 meters long, and they can climb nearly 30 meters high.
The Skeleton Reptile is a monster with a snake-like tail and a skull face, similar to a giant lizard reptile with only front claws. It is the overlord of the Skull Island underground and has no basic awe of other types of creatures.
They have an extremely strong bite force, are elusive, ferocious, and particularly depraved. They once wiped out the degenerated King Kong clan, leaving only King Kong who inherited the clan name.
If Kong is the "god" of Skull Island, then they are the "demons" of Skull Island.
This fearsome snake-like creature is a big eater and their hyperactive metabolism means it's perpetually hungry.
They are like sharks that need to swim constantly to survive, skeletal reptiles that need to eat constantly, and snake-like misaligned jaws that can swallow anything into their stomachs.
And in that bloody mouth, there is an extremely long tongue whip used to trap and entangle prey. Its olfactory system can sense warm-blooded animals thousands of miles away. Once it smells your scent, you are doomed.
The scientific researchers all knew this, so when they saw the three skeleton reptiles coming out together, they were already pale with fright.
At this time, unless King Kong suddenly came to kill the Quartet, or they would confess here today.
"Boom~"
There was a huge sound behind him, Liangzi didn't come, but a giant of light appeared!
