Chapter 2 Survival and the system of crossing the heavens
Due to its special geographical location, Skull Island is inaccessible and has not been affected by the wave of evolution.
The oxygen-rich environment makes most of the creatures here possess unusually large sizes and destructive power.
The father and mother of the orangutan were killed by the skeleton lizard, a blood feud.
But with the current strength of the two brothers, they are no match for those group of skeleton lizards.
Revenge must be avenged, but now, the most important problem they need to face is survival.
Even though King Kong's growth rate is extraordinary, placed elsewhere on the earth, it would already be an astonishing three-meter-tall beast.
But there is still not enough to see in Skull Island.
Moreover, you have to carry a dragster like Ding Zheng.
The food stored in the cave only lasted the brothers for another month and a half.
Now, if they want to survive, they must leave their caves and start hunting!
But without the orangutan parent to "transport" the mountain, the height of the mountain is a huge problem for King Kong and Ding Zheng.
Under such circumstances, Ding Zheng thought of the cane he brought back to make a swing when he went down the mountain for the first time.
It tied one end of the rattan tightly to Vajra's waist and held the other end by itself.
When Vajra came down the mountain, it stood on Vajra's shoulder, using rattan for protection and rest.
Although the process was still thrilling, the ape's natural body was most suitable for climbing, coupled with tacit cooperation, and the help of the tough and useful rattan that was beyond Ding Zheng's expectations.
The two brothers finally made it down the mountain successfully without any danger.
I have to say that the rattan helped a lot. With this thing, going up and down the mountain will be several times easier!
So Ding Zheng hid the canes at the bottom of the mountain and planned to collect more. The more the better and the longer the better.
…
In the jungle.
Ding Zheng was lying on the ground covered in blood, breathing weakly and motionless.
There is an empty patch of grass all around.
King Kong was nowhere to be seen.
It was quiet all around, with only the sound of wind and leaves.
After a while.
The sound of rustling in the trees came from not far away, and slowly approached.
It was like a bulldozer was driving over, and wherever it passed, the branches and leaves of the trees made a heart-wrenching squeaking sound.
Then, a huge pig head poked out from the bushes, with two long and sharp teeth protruding from its mouth, curved high, and its face was covered with various scars.
Next is the broad pig back.
This is a wild boar that is nearly three meters tall and nearly five meters long.
Wild boars are omnivores and love meat very much, often even eating carrion.
It smelled the smell of blood, so it walked over slowly.
When the orangutan parents were still alive, almost no large predators dared to enter this forest, and this wild boar only entered recently.
"Hmm."
It sniffed, raised its head slightly, and through a bush, saw Ding Zheng lying on the ground covered in blood in front of him, and then continued to walk forward.
There are no competitors here. These days, he is enjoying his life very much and his stomach is always full.
Therefore, even if the food comes first, it seems to be unhurried and unhurried.
After walking out of the jungle and into the open space, the wild boar's entire body was completely exposed.
Stout and fat.
Just that thick layer of fat can block the teeth and claws of many predators from the deadly organs.
And only thicker and stronger muscles and bones can support such a heavy body.
If Ding Zheng and King Kong really encountered such a big guy, they would probably be crushed to death before they could penetrate each other's sebum.
Click, click...
The wild boar continued to move forward with firm steps.
Then, he suddenly stopped about ten meters away from Ding Zheng.
It lowered its head and sniffed the ground.
For some reason, it felt that the small piece of land in front of it had a strange smell, which was different from other lands.
A hesitant light flashed in the wild boar's mung bean-sized eyes.
Time passes minute by minute.
Bah!
A drop of blood flowed from Ding Zheng's temple, dripped onto the bridge of his nose, and then around his nostrils, exuding a slight salty smell.
In the quiet jungle, everything seemed to have stopped, and time seemed to pass very slowly.
finally.
The wild boar started to move forward again.
It thought about it for a long time and didn't feel that the taste of the land was wrong and would have any impact on his enjoyment of the food in front of him.
All the memories and experiences in its mind did not indicate the danger of the strange situation in front of it.
The thick fallen leaves crunched under the feet of the wild boar.
It didn't notice that the fallen leaves under its feet were getting thicker and thicker.
In this relatively open ground, logically speaking, there would not be so many leaves falling.
Its experience deceives it.
Wow…
Leaves all over the sky rose one after another and then fell.
Before that, the wild boar's huge body fell down at a faster speed.
They fell into the trap that Ding Zheng and King Kong had prepared for a long time ago.
Bang!
It hit the ground hard.
Although the branches at the bottom of the trap were not sharp, and most of them were broken by the wild boar, a few of them pierced the wild boar's body under the powerful impact, and then came out directly!
"hold head high!"
The wild boar screamed pitifully.
The first moment the sound sounded, Ding Zheng jumped up and ran towards the side quickly.
It ran a little anxiously, missed a step, and stepped into another trap.
For the safety of his life, Ding Zheng made four traps around him and completely covered himself. The wild boar fell into only one of them.
Fortunately, it was light enough and small, and it lay down immediately so that it didn't completely fall in.
King Kong also rushed out from the side, carefully avoiding other traps, and pulled Ding Zheng away.
Only the wild boar was left screaming in the huge pit, which almost shook half of the jungle.
After waiting for a while, Ding Zheng and Jingang carried the stones they had prepared and threw them into the trap.
They have already gained experience. Most of their prey will not die immediately after falling in, so they need to catch up on it.
And since this wild boar is so huge, the need for follow-up shots is naturally higher.
But to their surprise, before the stone was halfway in, there was no sound in the trap.
After waiting for a while, they dared to move over to check.
However, they discovered that there was a branch stuck straight into the heart of the wild boar, ending its life as quickly as possible.
"call……"
Ding Zheng let out a long breath, looking at the wild boar that was almost as big as two King Kongs, his legs felt a little weak.
Such huge prey is not what they expected.
Because simple traps may not be able to kill it, this time it was purely luck.
Otherwise, the wild boar will probably only be slightly injured and then jump out directly, and they will have no choice but to run for their lives.
But fortunately, the crisis situation did not occur.
What happens next is simpler.
Although the wild boar was huge, there was nothing King Kong could do while he was alive.
But after death, when it is just a puddle of flesh, King Kong can still be taken away.
It has been twelve days since the two brothers went down the mountain.
At first, they couldn't catch any big prey, so they could only survive on small animals such as rabbits and mice, mixed with wild fruits and plant roots.
Although King Kong has not grown up yet, as the future overlord of Skull Island, and with Ding Zheng's IQ, it is not difficult to survive.
The only problem is that they are inefficient at catching large prey and don't have enough small prey to eat.
Primates are not very good at hunting.
Moreover, Ding Zheng did not dare to let King Kong fight for his life.
Unlike human society in the forest, there are no doctors here, and the risk of injury will increase infinitely.
After playing soy sauce next to King Kong, I have been a real burden for several days.
Ding Zheng's brain finally opened up and he came up with a way to make a trap.
Orangutans' similar bodies to humans are the basis for using and making tools.
The wisdom and experience in the past life can enable it to do everything to its advantage in this place that has not been "harmed" by humans.
After the unfamiliarity and failure at the beginning, Ding Zheng quickly got the hang of it and successfully caught his prey.
Of course, they are all small things, and with their strength, they cannot create large traps.
But later, after King Kong discovered this, he became interested, and after some observation and study, he decided to devote himself to making traps.
Then there are those four big traps.
In order to prevent being targeted by other beasts, the two brothers quickly left after removing the wild boar carcass.
This wild boar, plus the previous small prey, is enough to feed them for more than half a month!
But they can't rest now, they must move these prey to the cave where they live.
This will be another big project.
Fortunately, Ding Zheng has found more tough rattans these days!
King Kong didn't quite understand returning to the cave, but Ding Zheng insisted on doing so.
Because of the presence of orangutan parents, this mountain forest had previously become a paradise for predators, and it was almost the most "superior" hunting ground on the entire island.
Now that the orangutan father and mother are dead, this place will surely become a battleground for many large predators.
It's only a matter of time before it becomes more dangerous and chaotic.
They can only be safe if they stay in caves.
…
On the way back, Ding Zheng squatted on King Kong's shoulder and thought.
A translucent system panel immediately appeared in his mind.
Task: None
Embodiment point: 0
Countdown: 63 days
Ability: None
The system appeared three days ago.
It also carries descriptions of system functions.
This is a system of traveling through the heavens.
When the countdown reaches zero, Ding Zheng will be forced to travel to an unknown world.
It can't stop it, nor does it want to stop it.
Due to its congenital deficiencies, there seems to be something wrong with its body, which does not reflect the power of the King Kong family at all.
Until now, I have been acting like an ordinary gorilla.
There's no telling when it will recover, or even if it will.
Ding Zheng doesn’t want to be King Kong’s dragster all the time.
And the dangers in this world go far beyond the group of skeleton lizards.
This traversal system is its golden finger, its opportunity.
Since there is a problem with inheritance, it must seize this opportunity and make itself stronger through other methods!
"More than two months..." Ding Zheng looked forward to it silently.
