Chapter 74: Peculiar Creatures! Skull Crawlers!
All the soldiers looked up and saw the peculiar creature. Under the colonel's command, they continuously fired at it! The bullets hit the creature's abdomen, seemingly having little effect, but it directly caused the creature to go berserk.
Its eight long legs began to attack the colonel and his men, directly trampling two more soldiers to death. This intensified the anger in the colonel's heart, and he began to think constantly about how to deal with this creature!
"Cut off its legs! Quick!"
A flash of inspiration struck him, and he ordered the other soldiers to cut off the creature's long legs. The soldiers, hearing this, took their large machetes and chopped at one of its legs! As a result, they directly severed the creature's leg. The other soldiers followed suit, and soon this creature, resembling a peculiar spider, had lost its ability to attack.
Bang!
The colonel and his men continuously attacked its head. Dark green blood spurted out, and soon it was riddled with holes! After dealing with this peculiar creature, the colonel and the other soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief. This place was full of dangers.
After leaving the bamboo forest and resting for a while, the colonel led everyone to continue forward. They managed to kill a peculiar creature without much trouble, but the other side wasn't so lucky!
A team composed of several explorers and researchers was currently being pursued by a group of strange creatures.
Their appearance was very similar to that of prehistoric pterosaurs! Everyone ran frantically into the depths of the forest, but anyone who stumbled or slowed down along the way was directly snatched away by those strange creatures. Once caught in the sky, they were dismembered and eaten.
The tragic screams sent shivers down everyone's spines, and their running speed increased again. Soon, they saw a cave not far away. Everyone rushed in without thinking. The creatures pursuing them stopped their chase after they entered the cave and turned around and left.
Soon, they realized something was wrong; there seemed to be something inside the cave! One of the researchers, fearless, took a flashlight and walked into the cave. Several explorers did not follow, as they did not want to cause any more trouble in this situation.
They had to find a way to leave this island as soon as possible, otherwise, it wouldn't be long before they all died here. They had never seen the creatures on this island before, and the giant ape from earlier had directly scared everyone out of their wits. Several explorers wished they could leave immediately.
Roar!
"Ah! Help! Save me!"
Suddenly, a roar came from deep within the cave, along with cries for help. The explorers at the cave entrance immediately ran outside. Based on their survival experience, this should be the cave of some powerful creature, and the roar just now was clearly the researchers disturbing the cave's Master.
Thinking of the terrifying creatures on this island, they ran without a second thought! They cursed that researcher repeatedly in their hearts! The other researchers seemed to be students of the one who had just gone in, hesitating whether to go in and save their teacher.
"Ah!"
The next second, a Tyrannosaurus Rex rushed out, with its strong body and bloody teeth. Several people collapsed to the ground, their legs weak, and then became the Tyrannosaurus Rex's food! The previous explorers had already run far away, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex had no intention of chasing them, turning directly back into its cave.
But their situation was not good either. After entering another strange forest, the ground was covered with the remains of various creatures. There was no turning back now! The few of them could only continue walking forward with trepidation. They were quickly noticed by three peculiar creatures.
They were Skull Crawlers, also known as Skull Crawlers!
Skull Crawlers are a type of giant lizard-like reptilian monster, the underground overlords of Skull Island. They have no basic reverence for other types of creatures. They possess extremely strong biting power, are elusive, fierce, brutal, and particularly depraved. They once annihilated the Kong family and are known as "demons."
Skull Crawlers are massive creatures with serpentine tails and skull-shaped faces. They are the most powerful monsters on the island and Kong's strongest opponents. As Skull Crawlers appeared one after another, their appearance alone was chilling, and their special destructive nature made it easy to imagine the hidden dangers throughout Skull Island.
Boom!
These three Skull Crawlers were not huge in size; they appeared to be juvenile Skull Crawlers! Even in their juvenile stage, they were several times larger than humans. One Skull Crawler ambushed one of the explorers from the side, but he managed to dodge it.
However, he couldn't evade the attacks of the other two Skull Crawlers. One Skull Crawler directly bit his legs, and the other opened its mouth and bit into his chest from his head! With a powerful pull from the two Skull Crawlers, the explorer was torn in half by the Skull Crawlers and then directly eaten.
Bang!
The other explorers, seeing this, used their weapons to attack the Skull Crawlers, but the bullets still could not cause damage to these Skull Crawlers. The three Skull Crawlers immediately attacked the remaining two people! One of them was a woman! The two exchanged a desperate glance.
Taking out a grenade, pulling the pin, they started running in another direction. Two seconds later, they threw the grenade towards the Skull Crawlers' location! The grenade exploded just before it hit the Skull Crawlers, and the force of the explosion and the high temperature injured the three Skull Crawlers.
But it wasn't enough to incapacitate them. Moreover, these Skull Crawlers only became more brutal and insane after being injured! The three Skull Crawlers charged madly at the two, and the female explorer had to face the attacks of two Skull Crawlers.
Bang!
Still with no way out, she continuously used her pistol to attack the Skull Crawlers, all the bullets hitting the Skull Crawlers' injured wounds! The next second, she was sent flying by a Skull Crawler's tail, and then the two Skull Crawlers brutally dismembered and devoured her.
His companion's tragic screams filled him with pain and fear. Without paying attention, he tripped over a large White skeleton beneath his feet, and then a Skull Crawler appeared before him! It pounced without hesitation, ready to tear apart the food in front of it.
Watching the monster pounce, he clutched the last grenade tightly in his hand. After pulling the pin, he waited for the right moment and threw it into the monster's mouth! He used all his strength to get up, but before he could run two steps, he was tackled by the Skull Crawler. The next moment.
Boom!
A loud bang erupted as the grenade exploded inside the Skull Crawler, killing the explorer along with it! But at least he took one Skull Crawler down with him! The other researchers were much luckier than them.
