Neither the members of the combat team nor Kong had expected that the skeletal lizard would charge towards its own companions.
By the time they reacted, it had already sunk its sharp teeth into the throat of one of its comrades.
The powerful bite force almost severed its companion's throat.
The skeletal lizard, suffering such severe injuries, could not escape the fate of being pummeled by Kong and thrown out of the arena.
Thus, what was originally a four-on-one battle directly turned into a two-on-two.
However, this was only what everyone thought, because during the standoff, the skeletal lizard that had been thrown out half-dead had also staggered to its feet, eventually joining Kong's side.
Fortunately, Kong was a primate with a good brain; otherwise, this situation alone would have fried its CPU.
While Kong could accept this, Dr. Serizawa and the others found it hard to comprehend.
They had been fighting for their lives not long ago, yet after a severe beating, they were defecting one after another.
Was this transition too rapid? As soon as they couldn't win, they defected. Were monsters so devoid of principles, or were they all...
As the skeletal lizards departed, the atmosphere at the scene shifted once more.
The crowd, who had been merely spectators, now found themselves face to face with Kong.
The immense pressure emanating from the colossal beast rendered them speechless.
However, Kong seemed unwilling to bother with them, beings posing no threat, merely casting a cold glance before striding heavily towards the back of the mountain.
Upon witnessing this, Yang Lin's face first showed a contemplative expression, then he turned and said to everyone,
"Stay here. I'm going to communicate with it."
Without further explanation, he sprinted in the direction Kong had gone.
He left the bewildered crowd behind.
"What should we do? Should we follow?"
"What if Kong beats us to death if we chase after it?"
"But if we don't follow Director Yang, I'm afraid we'll be killed by other monsters before we even encounter Kong."
"Besides, I have a feeling those underground monsters will emerge again."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go chase him!"
.....
As they spoke, these burly, armed men, like startled young girls, pursued in Yang Lin's direction.
However, in this jungle, their attempt to catch up with Yang Lin was like asking for the moon.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Lin's figure had completely vanished.
Meanwhile, after Yang Lin had been sprinting through the forest at his fastest speed for a while, he caught up with the departing Kong.
Kong had now entered a valley.
As soon as he entered the valley, two giant skeletons first caught Yang Lin's eye. Judging by their appearance, they were likely Kong's parents.
"This should be its home, right?"
While marveling, Yang Lin began to observe the environment within the valley.
Before long, he found what he was looking for.
A meteorite the size of a small house.
It was the same type of object as the two meteorites he had seen before on Dolphin Island and in the Diannan Insect Valley.
The reason he was so certain was that he sensed strong megafauna radiation from this meteorite.
Thinking of this, he casually glanced at the dwindling talent points on his system panel.
"Since I'm here, I might as well take something with me."
As he spoke, he trembling reached his hand towards the meteorite.
As he had expected, as soon as his hand neared it, the powerful megafauna radiation washed over him.
A normal person would likely die on the spot if subjected to this, but because he had the system, all the megafauna radiation was converted into talent points without exception.
"Ding! Talent points +10"
"Ding! Talent points +50"
"Ding! Talent points +100"
.....
For over a minute, Yang Lin watched as his remaining few dozen talent points were replenished to 3000.
"Warning! Current radiation exposure has reached its limit. Continued close exposure to radiation will cause irreversible changes to the host's body."
Although he didn't know what this so-called irreversible change entailed, Yang Lin reluctantly withdrew his hand from the meteorite.
The moment he removed his hand, a massive head turned towards him.
Looking at the enormous head so close, Yang Lin first swallowed, then said with a smile,
"Hello there. Are you interested in leaving this island and exploring the outside world with me?"
Yes, he was that direct. Yang Lin believed that with Kong's intelligence, it would understand.
At the same time, the combat team led by Li Chenggong, after circling around, finally arrived outside the valley.
Looking at the valley littered with bones before them, their legs trembled.
"Director Yang has been inside for so long. He hasn't come out. Has Kong eaten him?"
"Why would it eat Director Yang? Director Yang is smaller than its toothpick, it wouldn't even be full."
"He probably just gnawed on him like a sunflower seed."
"If Director Yang dies, how will we get out?"
"Wait, I think there's some movement inside."
As soon as the words were spoken, they heard heavy footsteps approaching from within the valley.
Without even looking up, they could already see Kong's imposing figure.
But as they watched, disbelief dawned in their eyes.
Because they vaguely saw a person sitting on Kong's shoulder, and that person was waving at them.
