At dawn, when the first ray of light shines through the gray sky onto Skull Island.
The giant mosquitoes that had been wreaking havoc all night suddenly disappeared without a trace, and countless ferocious beasts jumped out of their hiding places again and began a new round of hunting and fighting.
This island is a complete purgatory, full of endless killings, non-stop, and the law of the jungle of survival of the fittest is vividly demonstrated here.
Somewhere on the beach, Du Weiguo popped his head out of the water, opened his mouth and spit out a water arrow, and then slowly swam ashore.
Because he took a ride on a giant turtle on a whim last night, Du Weiguo was too far away from the old ship.
There were giant mosquitoes blocking the way, so last night, he had to stay in the sea all night, which made everyone white.
There are also giant creatures in the sea, and they are larger than those on land. However, Du Weiguo was quite lucky and was not attacked.
Of course, it may also be because he is too small and cannot even fit between the teeth of those behemoths, so people are too lazy to answer him.
A moment later, in the depths of the dense forest, Du Weiguo, with a pale face, quickly climbed up an unknown towering tree, then squatted firmly on the branch of the tree, stuffed a handful of evil pills into his mouth, and chewed hard.
This Shashen Pill, which was made on the spur of the moment in Japan, is definitely a stroke of genius. It not only tastes good and is easy to eat, but the key is that it is super high in calories and can quickly replenish physical strength. It is simply perfect.
Chewing beans in his mouth, Du Weiguo's eyes were shining brightly, staring at another tree not far away.
This tree is a huge broad-leaved plant that is somewhat similar to a banana. It is not very high, only a dozen meters tall. It looks quite small on this giant-viewing island.
This kind of banana also has something special about it. Although it is not big, it is thick enough. The brown-gray trunk is as thick as a dozen people hugging each other, and it is like a ground vat.
Of course, these are not what Du Weiguo cares about. What he cares about is that the trunk of the banana tree is densely covered with countless fist-sized holes.
These holes are arranged densely and disorderly, like countless big mouths, and they look very penetrating.
If you are a patient with trypophobia, you may faint on the spot when you see this tree.
These fist-sized holes are the habitats of those giant colorful mosquitoes, and there are dozens of such banana trees in front of Du Weiguo. A rough estimate is that at least thousands of giant mosquitoes live there.
There is some dark yellow viscous sap flowing on the trunks of these banana trees, emitting a strange smell that is indescribable.
Call it coquettish or not, call it smelly or not, no animals came near the banana tree, and the area was completely silent.
Du Weiguo's stomach was churning with bad water at the moment. He was wondering whether he should light the banana forest on fire and kill the giant mosquitoes to see if he could gain experience points.
If it works, then he will be awesome. There are countless giant mosquitoes on this island, and he can always upgrade to a god.
The kind of existence that breaks the galaxy and reaches for the stars with one hand.
Of course, this also involves extremely high risks. Everyone knows the consequences of poking into a hornet's nest, and these giant mosquitoes are 10,000 times more terrifying than wasps.
This is a gamble, just bet that these giant blood-sucking mosquitoes and blood gnats are the same, they are photophobic and cannot move during the day.
If the bet loses, Du Weiguo is not afraid. His final retreat can be to teleport away. However, when he thinks about teleporting on this island, he always feels fuzzy in his heart and has a strong ominous premonition.
"Damn it! I want to be rich and rich in danger, I'll do it!"
After much thought, Du Weiguo finally decided to give it a try, and then looked at the banana forest in front of him with sinister eyes.
Arson is a technical job that requires very high technical content. It is not something you can just light a fire and be done with.
Not only must the combustion route be designed, but also temperature, wind direction, humidity, flammability of different substances, etc. must be considered. The most important thing is to reserve a safe escape route in advance.
However, Du Weiguo's grandson loves to play with fire, and the countless experiences of destroying corpses and eradicating traces have given him extremely rich experience. About ten minutes later.
"Boom~"
A dazzling white light suddenly lit up in the dense forest, and several fierce white flames rose up from the roots of these strange banana trees almost at the same time.
With a high temperature of over a thousand degrees, there are still many fire points, and the flames and smoke rise instantly, and they are unstoppable.
Du Weiguo also spent a lot of money. He placed at least 8 incendiary bombs at the root of each banana tree.
The reason why he dared to spend so arrogantly was also due to Du Weiguo's massive ammunition stock.
Years of fear of insufficient firepower and tireless efforts to collect ammunition finally paid off today.
"Buzz~"
These short and thick banana trees turned into giant pillars of fire in an instant. The next moment, countless giant mosquitoes popped their heads out of the holes, flapped their wings and took off, making a piercing noise.
grass! I was wrong. These big mosquitoes can fly during the day. Du Weiguo's face turned dark instantly, but he was not unprepared.
These giant mosquitoes rose up quickly, like a colorful cloud spreading out of thin air. Du Weiguo's eyes were sharp, and he pulled a vine next to him with his wrist.
"Boom~"
Following Du Weiguo's movements, hundreds of dazzling white flames bloomed in the sky, like a goddess scattering flowers, covering the entire banana forest.
Attacked from above and below, countless giant mosquitoes that had just taken off were instantly ignited by the white phosphorus fire and turned into fly ash, like a grand fireworks show, cruel and gorgeous.
"Ouch!"
Before this was over, Du Weiguo roared angrily and instantly transformed into a god of fire, standing on a tree branch with a bow, holding a flamethrower.
A thick fire dragon shot out, covering a hundred meters, and instantly filled the little gap left.
At this point, this banana forest turned into a complete fire purgatory, without any gaps, and countless giant mosquitoes perished in the sea of fire.
Near noon, the entire banana forest and some surrounding trees were burned to a white ground, with black smoke curling up.
Du Weiguo was able to control the scope of the fire very well and did not spread randomly. It only burned a piece of scorched earth the size of a football field.
At this moment, he was squatting on a huge tree not far from the fire scene with a gray face, his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten dog daddy.
After killing countless giant mosquitoes, Du Weiguo did gain skill points, but only a few. The cost was that he worked for a long time, consumed more than 400 white phosphorus incendiary bombs, and scrapped a flame gun.
This price-performance ratio is simply ridiculously low. The same consumption is enough to support him to kill at least half of the elite regiment.
"I'm so numb. This is so fucking stupid. It's not cost-effective at all."
Du Weiguo cursed angrily, closed the system template in frustration, glanced at the charred ruins in the distance, and gave up the plan of continuing to gain experience.
I’m so heartbroken, no amount of reserves can withstand this kind of consumption!
Just as he was about to leave, a creepy rustling sound suddenly came from the dense forest in the distance, followed by more than a dozen giant snakes that he had seen on the beach before, snaking quickly.
These big snakes had rough skin and thick flesh, and were not afraid of being burned. They crawled straight to the center of the fire where the remaining flames were extinguished, and then they coiled their bodies tightly together, as if more than a dozen tall and ferocious black towers had appeared out of thin air.
The bodies of these big snakes were not motionless, but were constantly squirming and trembling, with clear nervousness in their eyes.
"Hey, that's interesting!"
Such abnormal behavior successfully aroused Du Weiguo's curiosity, and he decided to stay and watch the excitement.
The coiled snake is a typical air defense posture, and there are no birds on this island. So these dozen giant snakes coiled their bodies at the same time to build an air defense position. They are still so nervous. What are they guarding against?
Du Weiguo was not made to wait for too long. About ten minutes later, a huge noise like the galloping of thousands of horses rang out from the dense forest in the distance, and then, a huge earth-gray sea rolled in romantically.
"Hiss~"
When Du Weiguo stood up high to see what was coming, even he couldn't help but gasped and his scalp went numb.
What kind of wave is this? They were clearly numerous gray-black hairless rats larger than dogs, rushing towards them menacingly. There were probably no less than a few thousand in number.
Merlin had categorically concluded before that the number of giant rats of this size must be limited and could not be tens of thousands.
Facts have proved that he was wrong, and very wrong. The rat tide arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye, as fast as a galloping horse.
"Haw!"
A harsh and violent roar suddenly sounded among the rats that were running at great speed.
These big mice suddenly seemed to have received military orders. They quickly climbed up the nearby trees, then suddenly jumped down and pounced towards the coiled snakes.
Dozens or hundreds of giant rats pounced at the same time, covering the sky and the ground, even the light was dimmed, and the momentum was quite terrifying.
"Hiss~"
More than a dozen giant snakes did not show any signs of weakness. They suddenly popped up their heads almost at the same time, opened their huge mouths and swayed from side to side. They could swallow several big mice in just one moment.
However, there were too many big rats, and dozens of them escaped the snakes and fell on them.
"Crack!"
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere!
The front claws of these big mice are very sharp, like iron hooks. After they land on the big snake, they lift off the scales and tear the flesh inside crazily.
The big snakes were in pain and twisted their bodies to squeeze each other. Countless big mice that managed to escape the snake's mouth were crushed into pulp in an instant.
However, the next wave of big mice has fallen from the sky again. This time, the giant snake's mouth is full and it is unable to swallow it. It can only hit it with its head, and the effect is naturally greatly reduced.
More giant rats landed on the big snake, with red eyes, and attacked desperately. The big snakes were torn apart, and they were so painful that they were going crazy. They twisted their bodies like crazy, and in the blink of an eye, they were crushed into pieces. .
However, the piercing screams of the rats were almost non-stop, like a drum beat, more and more big rats flew down like dumplings, risking their lives.
"What the hell, rat-snake fire? A kamikaze-style suicide attack. This is too outrageous!"
The air was filled with a nauseating stench, and Du Weiguo's eyelids twitched when he saw it.
In a normal sense, snakes are the natural enemies of rats. Except when hibernating, snakes are always in the position of predators. No matter how many rats there are, as long as the snakes are moving, they are useless.
But at the moment, these big snakes, which clearly have an absolute size advantage, have taken the initiative to give up their biggest advantage of movement, and instead engage in stupid battles on the battlefield.
It is so unreasonable for these big rats to be so desperate, exchanging their lives for injuries like moths to a flame.
At this moment, a big snake on the edge had a bloody hole in its belly, and a big mouse burrowed in along the bloody hole.
"Hiss~"
The big snake screamed in pain, could no longer maintain its coiled posture, and rolled and twisted violently.
As it moved, several snow-white giant eggs as big as winter melons emerged from under it. These were snake eggs.
It turns out that these big snakes are giving birth together! No wonder they were bitten like this and still didn't move at all. It turned out that they were protecting the eggs.
As for why these giant snakes had to run to this fire scene that had just burned and was still very hot, it was probably because these giant snakes needed high temperature conditions when laying eggs.
"Pfft~"
As soon as the big snake revealed its eggs, more than a dozen big mice swarmed up and smashed and destroyed the eggs.
"Damn, you're so cruel, you're going to kill the big snake!"
Du Weiguo watched with cold eyes at this time, already understanding in his heart why these big rats attacked the giant snake regardless of life and death.
They have become spirits and want to exterminate the snake's species!
Under normal ecological conditions, snakes can only give birth once a year, while rats can produce a litter every 45 days.
Of all the known creatures on earth, compared to the skill of giving birth to children, it is estimated that only cockroaches can compete with mice.
The creatures on this island have generally grown in size, and their reproductive cycles are expected to lengthen accordingly, but the proportions will probably remain the same.
In other words, even if all the thousands of big rats die today, it won't be long before they can be replenished.
But big snakes can't do it. They can't give birth to rats no matter what, and sooner or later, they will be completely wiped out by the giant rats.
Overwhelmed by reproductive advantages, these big rats have truly become elites. Not only do they understand tactics, but they actually know how to use such profound strategies.
At this moment, as the rats attacked one after another, several more big snakes were broken through and the rats got into their bodies.
Because of the severe pain, they couldn't help but twist their bodies wildly, not only exposing the snake eggs they were desperately protecting under their bodies, but also destroying the originally tight defense formation of the snake group.
More and more big rats took advantage of the situation and attacked desperately. The snake eggs were shattered one after another. The big snakes lost sight of one thing and the situation became precarious.
"Tatata~"
At this moment, the crisp sound of gunfire rang out, instantly overpowering the roars of the beasts, and the harsh chirping that had been noisy among the rats also stopped abruptly.
A giant rat the size of a calf with dark black hair had its head suddenly opened by a bullet, blood and brains splashed everywhere, and it slowly fell down.
This beast was the leader of the rats. It was very cunning. It always hid behind the rats and gave orders. Moreover, it kept changing its position. It took a lot of effort from Du Weiguo to find the right opportunity to kill it.
The reason why he killed the head rat and helped the giant snake was entirely due to Du Weiguo's personal likes and dislikes. He hated all rat creatures!
Capture the thief first, capture the king first, and decapitate tactics are not only applicable to human troops, but also to almost all group creatures.
The effect was immediate. After the head rat was killed, the rat group immediately became chaotic, each doing its own thing, and collapsed into an army.
Some giant rats continued to attack the big snake, some started to circle in circles and became overwhelmed, some tried to find the source of the gunshots and ran around, and some were timid and had already started to turn around and run away.
Therefore, a snake cannot fly without a head, a bird cannot fly without wings, and a social creature cannot fly without a head.
"Tata tower~~"
The gunshots were fired all the time, as accurately as a surgical scalpel, and the big rats that had penetrated the giant snake and wreaked havoc were killed one after another by bullets.
A moment later, when the gunfire stopped, several large snakes on the periphery that had been drilled into the body and destroyed the eggs had recovered. With red eyes, they launched a crazy reverse charge towards the rats.
Their huge size is the most powerful weapon. Once they move, the ground shakes and the mountains shake, just like a train hitting them head-on, almost killing them!
Moreover, the speed of the big snake is much faster than that of the giant rat. In just a flash, these vengeful big snakes rushed into the already chaotic group of rats and started a brutal massacre.
After a while, the one-sided battle came to an end. Most of the rats were slaughtered by the giant snakes, and the rest fled without a trace. Nine giant snakes successfully completed laying eggs.
However, Du Weiguo did not stay and accept the possible goodwill expressed by the snakes. In fact, they did not mean it at all.
Just now, when those big snakes attacked the rats, they had already affected Du Weiguo. If he hadn't escaped quickly enough, he might have been crushed to pieces on the spot.
Du Weiguo used the Jiuyou Lock and fled quickly for several kilometers before he stopped, wiped the sweat from his face, and cursed angrily:
"Fuck! They are indeed cold-blooded animals. They can fall out faster than turning the pages of a book. If I had known, these big rats would have eaten all your eggs!"
Du Weiguo didn't know that his unintentional actions had seriously affected the ecological cycle of Skull Island.
He saved the giant tortoise last night by being cunning, and he was cunning again today. Not only did he burn countless giant mosquitoes to death, attracting big snakes to lay eggs, but he also helped the big snakes lay eggs and eliminated the rats.
Without the huge numbers of giant mosquitoes and giant rats that are necessary links in the biological chain, the consequences would be very serious.
If the number of giant snakes becomes hundreds, then no other living things can exist on the island, and eventually, the giant snakes will become extinct.
This island will eventually become a lifeless desert island!
The Destroyer, Du Weiguo unintentionally played the role that humans play on the earth. In fact, it was not unintentional, but out of his heart, acting only based on his likes and dislikes.
Human nature is what it is, just show your true colors. (End of chapter)
