Chapter 73: Skull Island! King Kong Appears!
The Chicken Talisman was located in the castle of Ludwig, the mad king of Bavaria. After the archaeological team led by Jackie Chan triggered the mechanisms in the castle, Jackie Chan, to save his life, casually picked up a shield from the ground to block the arrows shot by the mechanisms and escaped the castle. The Chicken Talisman was embedded on the shield.
After communicating with Valmont, Jiang Bai began to think about how to approach Mary! He also had to make sure he didn't seem too deliberate. Noticing Wanda, Lorna, and Pietro in class, Jiang Bai got up and went to the third floor, entering Tom and Jerry's room.
"Tom, Jerry! You two help me make some of those red candies you made before, the kind that can improve physical fitness, got it?"
After entering the room, Jiang Bai told Tom and Jerry his purpose. Wanda, Lorna, and Pietro's physical fitness were still that of ordinary people. To prevent Pietro from being shot and killed by a bullet as in the timeline, he decided to enhance the physiques of all three of them.
Tom and Jerry nodded upon hearing Jiang Bai's words, patting their chests to indicate they would definitely do it! Jiang Bai didn't doubt this, but the two little guys would probably cause a ruckus for a while again. Then Jiang Bai left the third floor.

Skull Island
A reconnaissance team formed by the Military entered Skull Island via armed helicopters through a special magnetic field. After entering Skull Island, looking down from above, they discovered many prehistoric creatures! Even dinosaurs existed, along with some unknown creatures.
This delighted the personnel on the armed helicopters. Six armed helicopters began to circle within Skull Island. Since they were unsure of the ground conditions, they did not land immediately. Additionally, due to the special magnetic field, they couldn't contact the outside world here at all.
"Colonel, we must land. The geology here is very valuable for research; we need further observation and testing!"
"Alright, find a spot to land!"
Soon, due to the suggestion of that researcher, the Colonel on the armed helicopter had no choice but to agree. Before long, six armed helicopters began to land. After landing, they brought out various instruments to begin testing the geological issues there, wanting to understand the special magnetic field.
However, the results detected by these instruments were unsatisfactory. To further test the geological issues here, they decided to use bombs to blast out an open space for testing! Little did they know, this action was completely suicidal.
The Colonel immediately arranged for soldiers to set up bombs in the nearby forest! Everyone retreated to a safe position and began to detonate the bombs.
Boom——————!
Boom——————!
Loud explosions rang out. Just as the researchers were preparing to go for testing, a huge black figure appeared not far away! Everyone was surprised to find it was a giant ape; its size could even rival the monster that had appeared in New York before.
Roar——————!
The giant black ape let out a mighty roar, then charged towards the people's location. It was King Kong, the guardian of Skull Island! Because these people had destroyed the forest, they had ignited his wrath. Seeing the giant black ape charging over, several armed helicopters immediately took off.
They began to attack King Kong, but bullets hitting King Kong's body caused no wounds. King Kong came to a spot not far from the armed helicopters, grabbed a tree from the ground, and threw it towards the armed helicopters. The armed helicopter that was hit crashed to the ground and exploded.
At the same time, the others scattered and fled, splitting into several teams and running into the forest, trying to avoid King Kong's attack! The Colonel, meanwhile, commanded the remaining five armed helicopters to attack King Kong via walkie-talkie, with various machine gun attacks hitting King Kong's body.
More than a dozen soldiers in the ground unit also continuously fired at King Kong, but King Kong's attention was entirely drawn to the armed helicopters and he completely ignored the Colonel and others on the ground! Seeing King Kong continuously attacking the armed helicopters circling in the air, the Colonel's eyes were filled with rage.
He hadn't expected such a monster on this island. The armed helicopters no longer hesitated, and the missiles suspended beneath them began to launch, fiercely bombing King Kong's body. Even the thick-skinned King Kong felt pain, but the pain only intensified the rage in his eyes.
Boom——————!
Roar——————!
King Kong, hit by the missiles, began to dodge the missile attacks and continuously approached the armed helicopters. Because of his massive size, once he got close to the armed helicopters, he could easily attack them. With a giant palm strike, an armed helicopter was instantly destroyed.
The soldiers inside died instantly. Watching yet another armed helicopter being destroyed, the Colonel's eyes were practically spitting fire, but King Kong wouldn't stop because of this! Before long, all the armed helicopters were destroyed, and the Colonel was pulled away by other soldiers.
Without armed helicopters, fighting them would be suicide! After King Kong destroyed all the armed helicopters, he climbed the cliff face of the nearby mountain, leaving the scene with a few great leaps! He returned to his dwelling place, continuing to guard the entire Skull Island.
However, the researchers and several explorers who initially fled were not so lucky; the various strange creatures on the island had become obstacles to their survival! Or rather, they had already been treated as food by the various creatures on the island, and even the situation of the Colonel and his men was not good.
Even though they had many guns, their firepower was relatively decent! The Colonel led many soldiers into a bamboo forest. This was because some of his soldiers were in the armed helicopters that King Kong had just destroyed. So, he had no intention of leaving here.
He wanted to avenge those soldiers. With plenty of bombs still in his possession, he prepared to hunt down that monster! As for the researchers and explorers, he had no intention of searching for or rescuing them. He was now blinded by anger and hatred.
He was solely focused on how to eliminate that giant monster and avenge his soldiers! Before long, the entire team, led by the Colonel, ventured deep into the bamboo forest.
"Ah————!"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly let out a scream. When everyone turned to look, that soldier had something resembling a bamboo pole stuck in his mouth! The soldier next to him, however, saw another bamboo moving. The Colonel immediately looked up at the sky.
A giant spider-like body was above them; the bamboo that had impaled the dead soldier was precisely one of this creature's legs! Its slender leg had inadvertently taken a soldier's life!
"Look up, open fire!"
Bang—bang—bang—bang!
At the Colonel's prompt, all the soldiers....
