Chapter 031: Underground Cracks

While Xu Jing was eating a squid feast, Conrad's party, who were advancing along the river, spotted the indigenous tribes established on the banks of the river.

After a tense standoff, World War II Air Force veteran Mark Hank rushed out in time to stop the clash between the two sides.

"They said that someone came and I didn't believe it, 28 years and 11 months, 8 attempts to return to the outside world failed, but the result was that you came to me?"

Hank laughed almost to tears, more excited than Conrad and the others, babbling about his fate and his desire to return to the outside world.

In nearly 29 years, he has become a sloppy old man with a white beard and unkempt hair.

"You may have noticed that there are many strange things going on this island, and we will be fine as long as we stay in the tribe of this group of people."

Hank led the group through the low wall into the tribe, and the first thing they saw was a defensive wall made entirely of giant trees that spanned the river dozens of meters high.

Weaver asked, "Is this wall meant to stop that monster?" ”

"Nope." Although Weaver didn't say exactly what kind of monster it was, Hank knew it and shook his head, "It's not that they're blocking it." ”

The crowd thought they had misheard, but Hank didn't explain much, but led them all the way, explaining the habits of the natives and what he knew.

There are no criminals, no private property, some people don't even get old, and it all sounds incredible.

After staring at the natives who appeared to be the two leaders, Hank turned to the crowd and said, "Good news, they say you can live here. ”

Everyone looked at each other, looking at the quiet natives around them, and felt a little weird.

"But I didn't hear them." Conrad approached Hank and asked.

Hank explained, "They don't talk much, and they never laugh, as long as you've been here long enough like me, you'll understand." ”

"Wait a minute!" Neves stopped Hank, and his emotions were a little out of control: "We can't stay, we have to leave this island, we have to go back to live......"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Conrad interrupted Neves and said, "Calm down, Neves, now is the wrong time, okay?" ”

Neves stopped, and then Hank said in a deep voice, "Once you've set foot here, don't think about going back." ”

The atmosphere was a little dreary for a while, but perhaps it was because he had been here for too long, and Hank soon began to talk again, leading the group to the wreck of a large ship.

"This ship rushed ashore ten years before me, and this is now their holy place, so if you don't want to cut off your hand, don't touch it."

The crowd followed him and walked cautiously inside, where torches were lit on both sides of the path, and the natives were stationed along the road like sculptures, looking particularly solemn and solemn.

Entering the innermost part and passing through a door, they came to a wide hall.

On both sides of the hall stand countless rectangular stone monuments, which depict pictures of indigenous people fighting various monsters, recording the history of the past.

"According to them, for thousands of years, the people of this island have lived in fear, living in the shadow of various monsters, but one day, the strangest thing happened, some of the monsters they were afraid of, began to protect them from being eaten by other monsters, but nothing is eternal......"

Hank pointed to the picture of a giant orangutan kneeling in front of the corpses of the other two orangutans, and then pointed to the picture in the center of the front, "They worship it as the last savior here." ”

Seeing this picture, Conrad and the others were stunned, and the picture on it was the terrifying orangutan monster that had beaten them to the ground before.

"His name is King Kong, he is the overlord here, these people serve him as a god, King Kong is a good overlord, he is used to being alone."

"This is its home, we are only guests, but who will go to someone else's house and drop bombs, unless you want to provoke a war!"

Under Hank's explanation, everyone finally realized that they understood all the reasons, but they still had some doubts.

They had heard Hank say that in addition to him during World War II, there was another German who came to the island together, and they killed each other......

But now that Hank was left alone, Weaver immediately asked, "Didn't King Kong kill your friend?" ”

"It's not." Hank looked sad, turned around and pointed to another picture not far away, "That kind of monster kills, King Kong is the god of this island, but there are demons under us." ”

"What's it called?" Conrad asked.

Hank whispered, "The Evie don't name them, but I call them skeleton reptiles, they are a kind of big lizards, very fierce, they come from the cracks deep underground, they are extremely cunning, extremely cruel, and the bombs you drop will definitely wake up those little ones." ”

"If it weren't for the existence of King Kong, you wouldn't be alive at all, King Kong would deal with them, but there should be no one who will come out, because the Evie clan said that only when King Kong is gone, the big demon will appear, and that is when disaster is coming, so you better hope that King Kong is fine."

"Listen." Conrad then said, "There's a fuel supply team that's going to be on the north shore of the island in three days. ”

Weaver also said, "You should leave with us." ”

"To the north of the island?" Hank suddenly laughed, "In three days? ”

"Yes!" Conrad laughed too, but was slapped lightly on the face by Hank's hand, as if to wake him up.

"It is impossible to reach the north side of the island in three days! Die! Stop dreaming! Hank turned and walked away, but after a few steps, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he turned his head with bright eyes and said, "At least it's impossible to walk." ”

……

After Xu Jing finished eating the swamp giant squid, he found the entrance to the crack that led to the depths of the earth nearby.

It is a black pitch hole with white smoke, about ten meters in diameter, and at a glance, you can't see the bottom, giving people a deep and terrifying feeling.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, the corpses of two skeleton reptiles fell to the side.

Xu Jing was a little distressed, the two tasks released by the system seemed simple, but they were not so easy to complete.

The first mission was to kill all the skeleton reptiles, but now he wasn't sure how many had escaped outside in addition to the two he had caught and killed on the spot.

And the second task is even more difficult to complete, although the crack leading to the ground is not big, but it is too deep, and Xu Jing does not know how to solve the hidden danger.
