Chapter Seventy-Four: The Insect Plague Comes

However, just when Ma Le was about to drop his fist, an alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, and his instinctive legs exerted his strength and rushed out to the side far away.

And just as Ma Le was moving in mid-air, he subconsciously turned his head and clearly saw that from the direction from which the danger came, the leaves of the trees were rapidly withering, the branches instantly became scorched black, and the dense branches and leaves soon became sparse and dead, and from the exposed gaps, he could vaguely see a bright orange thing approaching rapidly. Ma Le's skin keenly felt the change in the temperature in the air, and the bright orange color must be a mass of high-temperature energy!

It was too late, and before Ma Le had landed, the bright orange had already broken through the layers of trees, and all the branches and leaves that had been covered by it quickly burned and turned into black charcoal. And the big orange fireball also smashed firmly on the immovable King Kong!

There was no explosion, the attack was more like it came from an oversized flamethrower, and the thick flame stream enveloped most of King Kong's body, and it continued to spray for two seconds before stopping. And King Kong, who was in a state of paralysis, could only barely cross his arms in front of his face and resist slightly.

When the flames were extinguished, King Kong's body just came out of his paralyzed state. This gorilla has been baptized by flames, and at this time it has been unrecognizable, the hair all over its body is scorched and curled, and in many places it is even burned bald, and the skin below is also burned and red, and there are bursts of green smoke, so close that you can even faintly smell the smell of meat......

"Whoa............" King Kong felt the hot pain coming from all over his body, and began to roar wildly, and the sound was not known whether it was anger or miserable howl, or both. The air flow passed through its thick trachea, vibrating the thick vocal cords, and the sound it made was like a train whistle, deafening!

And at that moment, there was a rustling sound from the direction where the flames came, and the trees that were still burning broke one after another, and out of them crawled out a huge beetle!

The beetle was similar in size to an African elephant, resembling a one-horned fairy, but thicker, with more and longer thorns on its body and sharper horns on its head. And in its still wriggling mouthparts, two drops of orange liquid dripped from time to time, and when it touched the air, it began to burn, and when it fell to the ground, a puff of green smoke rose from the ground. Obviously, the flame flow just now is this guy's masterpiece!

Seeing the shape of this big beetle, Ma Le, who had already landed on a tree, widened his eyes in surprise! It's not because this thing hasn't appeared in the movie, or because of its weird attack method, but because this monster worm is clearly the last game of the ring match, the tank monster in the apocalyptic insect plague world!

It was in that world that Dick was killed by Creel on the side of Dark City, and it was in that world that Creel showed his strange stealth ability for the first time!

"This can't be, this isn't the monster that the King Kong world should be at all, damn it, what the hell is going on here?!" Ma Le scolded in disbelief. Then, from the direction in which the beetle appeared, there were bursts of buzzing and hissing noises in the dense forest, and soon, a black and oppressive insect flew out of the forest, mixed with dozens of strange snakes with four wings.

It's bloodsuckers and flying snakes! Sure enough, these are all creatures in the apocalyptic insect plague!

Ma Le hid in the tree in shock, and King Kong and the insect monsters below had already begun to fight. Angry, the gorilla roared and rushed towards the tank monster, this beetle as strong as an elephant, in front of the larger King Kong, like a golden retriever, and counting the innate weakness of the exoskeleton creature, in hand-to-hand combat, it is by no means the slightest advantage.

But without the action of the tank monster at all, the bloodsucking worms and flying snakes have already swarmed up, and a large area of skin on the surface of King Kong's body has been burned, and the smell of pus flowing from the festering tissues has deeply attracted this group of brainless bed bugs, and they have attached to King Kong's body and began to suck greedily.

However, King Kong's skin is not as fragile as ordinary animals, although the skin is burned, most of it is still thick and tough, and the small bloodsucking insects can't cause trouble at all, as long as they dare to fall on their bodies, they will be slapped to death by King Kong's giant palm. In contrast, it is the poisonous flying snakes that can cause more trouble.

In front of King Kong, these flying snakes that were more than two meters long were like big earthworms, looking small and unbearable. However, it is often this small and deadly creature that is best at dealing with giant monsters.

Compared to primitive bloodsuckers, flying snakes have a higher IQ, and they don't swarm around like low-level bugs. These cunning bugs specialize in finding burned and broken skin, squirting venom and corrosive penetration! This venom can be described as highly poisonous to ordinary humans, but for King Kong, who is physically strong and huge, it is not enough to be fatal for a while. It's just the pain of the venom corroding the wound that makes the gorilla more and more irritable, frantically slapping these "little earthworms" into meat sauce like a mosquito.

Taking advantage of the time between King Kong and the little bugs, the giant tank monster was already preparing for its next attack. After all, its high-temperature acid is not infinite, and it has to be re-secreted and accumulated after each spray, and it will take almost dozens of seconds to reach the point of attacking again.

I saw that this huge insect monster raised its head and pushed the long horns above its head to the sky, while the originally inconspicuous mouthparts were exaggeratedly opened, divided into six petals, and faced King Kong who was constantly fighting. And in the depths of that mouthpiece, Ma Le saw from a distance that a bright orange light was churning.

"Hisss hiss......" I saw that the acid sac under the tank monster's head suddenly twitched and contracted, and the orange-red acid stored in it was shot out instantly, and when it encountered the air, it burned up, emitting a bright yellow flame, diverging into a cone-shaped and flying towards King Kong at great speed!

But this time, King Kong was prepared, and after suffering the loss of this big beetle before, this gorilla has already gained experience and increased his vigilance. Seeing the flames erupting, it jumped violently, reached out and grabbed the thickest branch of a giant tree, and swept away with all its might.

King Kong ran decisively, but the group of vampire worms and flying snakes did not have time to leave, and they were all enveloped in the flames of the tank monster. These insect monsters have no wisdom and a sense of cooperation, and they naturally attack each other mercilessly. After this fire, except for a small remnant attached to King Kong's body, most of the insects were burned to char and fell to the ground in a flutter.

As for King Kong, after swinging around the tree, he threw himself back with a nimble that was completely incommensurate with his size, and pounced on the tank monster.

The flames have run out, and the tank monster is now out of its most powerful weapon. But the insect knew little fear, and in the face of its oncoming enemy, it flicked its huge black head and bravely met it, intending to use its long horns and spiked barbed legs and feet to defeat the enemy.

But unfortunately, although the name of this big beetle is a tank monster, it is not a real tank after all. King Kong rushed in front of the tank monster, grabbed the tall horn with both hands, and pressed it down violently, and pressed the head of the big beetle to the ground, and the mouthparts were all stuck in the soil, even if this guy really still had acid, he couldn't squirt out.

Immediately afterward, King Kong returned to his old rough and brutal style, flipped over the back of the tank monster, sat it under his ass like a maza, and slammed it with his fists.

The carapace of the tank monster is not unthick, but that is compared to the small human body, in front of King Kong, the thin hard shell is not enough to protect the fragile soft tissues inside. With only three or five punches, the originally hideous head was flattened, and the tall and hard tentacles had been broken, and King Kong held it in his hand, like a dagger, and slammed it into the back of the tank monster, and nailed it to the ground with a click. This ferocious monster insect became the world's largest insect specimen, and remained in the center of Skull Island forever.

Successfully defeating the enemy, King Kong dragged his tattered-looking body, stepped on the ground with one foot, stepped on the corpse of the tank monster, beat his chest alternately with his fists, and roared to the sky, as if announcing to the world that whether it is a tyrannosaurus or a bug monster, whether it is facing the creatures of this world or not, it will win and sit firmly on the throne of the king of Skull Island!

Ma Le, who was hiding in the tree, witnessed the whole process, and saw the heroic and domineering spirit of King Kong fighting from the standpoint of a third party, and he was also deeply shocked, this primitive and barbaric creature also has dignity and arrogance, and it also has the persistence that cannot be compromised! It's no wonder that this orangutan can impress the heroine in the play, and can make countless audiences cry outside the play......

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and from the jungle on both sides and behind King Kong, four flames suddenly shot out, the flame flow was staggered, and the heat wave was rolling, completely enveloping King Kong's proud and upright figure!

There are other bugs?! Ma Le was shocked, only to see the flames disperse, King Kong no longer had a piece of good flesh in his body, the intense pain burned its body and will, first fought with Ma Le, and then killed a tank monster, and now it was hit hard, King Kong's life finally bottomed out, the cooked muscles were no longer enough to support its bulky body, and the majestic gorilla finally fell to the ground.

But King Kong's mind was still clear, and it shifted its arms, trying to get back up and fight these nasty and dangerous enemies. But this struggle is futile, and despite the constant instructions from the brain, its body is no longer able to carry out it faithfully.

When King Kong fell to the ground, four tank monsters came out from the direction where the flames came. This kind of top-level insect monster, which is extremely rare in the insect plague world, will appear in groups on a hidden island in this unrelated world, and it is weird and abnormal!
