Before landing on the island, Yang Lin had already reviewed the giant beast data provided by the Imperial Organization and was aware of this beast's information.
However, seeing it in person was undoubtedly more impactful than any of that.
Logically, Kong Baobao was currently larger, but the visual impact was slightly less.
After all, Kong Baobao was in the sea, while this giant beast was standing upright.
"King Kong, why does it feel so awkward? Why not just call it King Kong?"
Yang Lin couldn't help but recall the advertisement shot by Xihong Zoo some time ago. The protagonist of that advertisement was a giant ape, played by Kong, the Bu's giant ape from their zoo.
"King Kong? The name Director Yang gave it is very fitting."
At some unknown time, Dr. Serizawa had appeared behind Yang Lin. He looked in the direction the giant beast had left and wrote the word "King Kong" in his notebook.
"According to the data Dr. Hammond gave me, this giant beast was first discovered in the 1950s."
"But I think the one discovered back then was its predecessor. Its predecessor must have died by now, and this one is clearly not an adult yet."
Hearing Dr. Serizawa's words, Yang Lin nodded.
Because the moment the giant beast appeared, he had casually cast a 'Scan Light' on it, thus obtaining some of its information.
[Ancient Giant Ape - King Kong, 8 years old, Healthy]
[Rapid Development (Special Talent) Possessing this talent, its development speed will far exceed that of ordinary animals.]
[Evolutionary Light (Special Talent) Possessing this talent will emit special radiation that accelerates evolution to its surroundings.]
He found it hard to believe that the creature he just saw was only 8 years old.
It was even harder to imagine that such a colossal beast possessed two talents.
Giant beasts were already a bug-level existence, and to possess talents was simply unreasonable.
For creatures like them, even a Green-level talent would be terrifying.
However, now was clearly not the time to dwell on these thoughts. As Yang Lin and the two were conversing, Adams, the leader of the mercenary squad, was grumbling and preparing to lead his subordinates in pursuit of King Kong.
After losing more than ten elite team members, anger had made him lose his reason.
Li Chenggong, who was accompanying them, quickly called out to Yang Lin and the other two to follow.
From this moment on, the team officially set foot on Skull Island.
At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary island.
But as they ventured deeper, various giant creatures, affected by the beast's radiation, began to appear.
In the blink of an eye, a hapless mercenary was snatched away by some animal.
Less than five minutes later, another mercenary was impaled by a long leg that descended from the sky.
Seeing the casualties starting so soon after landing, Adams, as the leader of the combat team, could only rage impotently.
However, the mercenaries soon discovered something strange: people standing near Yang Lin seemed to be fine.
While those farther away from Yang Lin met with successive unfortunate ends.
Upon realizing this, the mercenaries, who had been scattered, immediately huddled together by Yang Lin's side.
Yang Lin merely smiled at their behavior. Although he didn't care about the lives of these people, he was counting on them to take him back.
He might as well have maximized the passive ability of "Son of the Forest."
Instantly, the mutated creatures in the jungle of this island seemed to have received a command and collectively moved to the sides of Yang Lin and his group's path.
Thanks to this, they safely traversed the outer jungle of the island and entered its interior.
During this process, they frequently saw giant creatures mutated by the beast's radiation.
Each one was beyond their comprehension.
However, these terrifying giant beasts seemed uninterested in them, not even glancing at them.
After walking for more than an hour, a hilly region appeared before them.
Along with it, a giant beast, King Kong, as large as a small mountain, also appeared.
King Kong at this moment seemed to have just finished its meal, with the corpse of an unknown mutated animal lying nearby.
Looking at the completely torn animal carcass, even those holding heavy weapons shivered.
Before coming, they thought they were fearless as long as they had heavy weapons, but after seeing King Kong, they no longer dared to hold such thoughts.
"Director Yang, what do we do now? Do we set a trap and wait for King Kong to fall for it, or do you try to communicate with it directly?"
"Why don't you go up and say a few words to it first."
Behind a large rock, Li Chenggong said hesitantly.
However, when Yang Lin heard his words, he rolled his eyes at him.
"Are you crazy? If I go out now, who knows if it's full? What if it slaps me away before I can even speak?"
"Let's wait a bit longer for a suitable opportunity."
As the group was discussing how to capture King Kong, King Kong, who had just picked up a large tree to pick its teeth, suddenly dropped the tree and turned to walk behind a large mountain.
Seeing this, although everyone was unsure what was happening with King Kong, they followed out of curiosity.
However, when they followed King Kong's path to the back of that mountain, they were immediately stunned by the sight before them.
To say they were shocked would be inaccurate; it was more like surprise.
Beside a huge cave entrance, four giant creatures with strange appearances and only two legs were gathered.
As soon as King Kong approached, these strange creatures jumped onto it.
Then, a melee ensued.
The strange creatures did not seem to have strong combat power, but they made up for it with numbers.
King Kong couldn't subdue them in a short while.
Seeing the escalating conflict, Li Chenggong once again looked to Yang Lin for guidance.
"Director Yang, do we need to help?"
"Help! Of course, we help."
"Then who do we help?"
"Of course, we help our relatives. It's time to increase favorability."
Saying this, he took a submachine gun from a mercenary and, without hesitation, pulled the trigger towards the front.
However, to his surprise, although he aimed at the strange subterranean creatures next to King Kong, after firing a burst of bullets, they all hit King Kong.
Fortunately, King Kong's skin was thick enough, and it wasn't significantly damaged.
However, this was enough to enrage King Kong.
At the same time, the subterranean creatures cast grateful glances at Yang Lin.
Seeing this, everyone around was stunned, and Li Chenggong gave him a thumbs-up.
"Director Yang is ruthless! He knows these subterranean creatures can't defeat King Kong, so he weakened King Kong's health in advance."
"A brilliant feint."
"A master of reaping the benefits of others' labor."
"A brilliant..."
Before Li Chenggong could finish speaking, Yang Lin glared at him.
"One idiom after another, are you trying to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"
"Shoot them, shoot those big lizards!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he snatched another Vulcan cannon.
