Their eyes met. Jimmy looked at Coulson who was smiling at him from afar. He could not help but curse the old fox in his heart.
Although Skull Island was dangerous, danger and opportunity existed side by side. They were like twin brothers.
A special substance could be extracted from the flesh of the monsters that lived on Skull Island.
Although no one knew what the special substance could produce, it was the substance extracted from the monsters that made America willing to build a military base on this isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean.
The military base on Skull Island was different from other military bases. Although it was an army base, the soldiers were treated better than the air force of the same rank.
The base had less than 5,000 soldiers and the annual funding was equivalent to a regular army of 100,000 soldiers.
The higher the phase of the monster, the higher the quality of the special substance in its body.
A Phase 3 monster's value was not inferior to gold of the same size. It might even be more valuable due to its rarity. Moreover, because it was an underage Phase 3 monster, the difficulty of hunting it was not as high as a normal Phase 3 monster.
Jimmy knew that Coulson and his men did not represent America. After all, he led the team that killed the American investigation team a few years ago.
So, unless it was absolutely necessary, the Englishman would not send him.
He could not help but feel annoyed. Why did he bring this group of people deep into Skull Island?
Although Jimmy was a lunatic, he remembered that he was an American soldier. He would not feel guilty if he killed a few insignificant researchers. But an underage Phase 3 monster was different.
Therefore, after a short period of silence, although there was a smile on both of their faces, their hearts were filled with fear.
But they were wrong about one thing. Apart from the skeleton, there was another monster living in the lake. But it was not the Phase 3 monster that they had guessed — the Giant Abyssal Octopus!
It was located at the bottom of the lake, about 40 to 50 meters away.
A large number of corpses were deposited there. Even the lake water had a murky dark red color due to the deposition of blood.
It was quiet. There were no aquatic plants, fishes or shrimps. It was so quiet that it was like a dead land.
But every 13 minutes, there would be a strong heartbeat. Through the weak light, one could vaguely see a 12-meter-long lizard-like creature floating at the bottom of the water.
Around it, countless skeletons were piled up like a huge nest, just as Coulson and the others had guessed.
Nagini had appeared here three days ago, but at that time, he was only a small lizard less than a meter long.
Nagini, who had just entered Skull Island, was not afraid of anything. When he saw the Demonic Bull lying in the lake, he did not hesitate to charge at him.
Nagini was successfully swallowed by the bull demon.
That's right, Nagini had lost. He had lost to an Ox Demon that would turn into a roasted ox with a flap of its wings.
It couldn't be helped. Godzilla was very powerful, but after all, he was only born less than a week ago.
According to the current human classification, his strength was actually at the first stage. But because of his high muscle density, the bull demon's attack did not cause much trouble for Nagini.
In the end, the bull demon was enraged by Nagini and swallowed him whole. However, this gave Nagini a chance to kill the bull demon.
As for what happened after that?
In fact, it was just as Coulson and the others had guessed. The bull demon's internal organs were severely damaged and it was vomiting blood. In the end, the strong smell of blood attracted a large number of animals.
However, the animals at the scene were not killed by Nagini alone.
This was because towards the end, all the animals had gone berserk. Even the timid sheep dared to bite the lions at this time. In short, the scene was chaotic. All the animals were killing each other. The smell of blood was thick. Even the monsters in the third stage did not dare to go near them.
In this way, after more than an hour, when Nagini bit the neck of the last jackal, he was the only one left in the lake that had been dyed red. Then, he began to bite and swallow.
Pieces of bright red meat were torn from the bodies of these animals and finally slid down the throat to the stomach. Under the corrosion of the stomach acid, the meat was decomposed into energy suitable for the body to absorb.
Then, with the passage of time, the corpses that were originally piled up here like a small mountain eventually became a lake full of bones.
To be honest, Nagini did not know how much he had eaten.
He only knew that at first, he was very satisfied with eating, but as the second stage of Godzilla was broken through, this satisfaction decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After eating all the animals, Nagini still felt that it was not enough. He even took a lot of growth potions before he was truly satisfied.
But then, a shocking drowsiness came to his mind. It was as if something in his body was ignited. His body was warm and there was an indescribable comfort, as if he had returned to his mother's body.
Then, with a "plop", the Nagini from three days ago fell to the bottom of the lake.
Because his body was still small at that time, he fell through the gaps between the bones and finally fell to the bottom of the lake.
Before falling asleep, Nagini actually had a premonition of what was going to happen next.
There were two stages in Godzilla's growth. One was the unlocking of the gene lock, which was the breakthrough of common sense. This kind of bottleneck would melt little by little under the grinding of time and eventually grow to the limit of biological growth.
The other stage was the energy supply during the growth process.
In most cases, the former was more difficult than the latter. Just like the dragon that was stuck in the fourth stage, but this time, the latter was the one that held it back.
So to be precise, when Nagini woke up from his deep sleep, he was considered to have truly entered the second stage. After all, the energy needed to break through from the first stage to the second stage was really gathered at the moment he fell asleep.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Coulson and the others had been gone for a whole day. The evening sun shone on the lake filled with bones, although it looked a little chilling.
However, for some reason, other than the bloody stench that assaulted his face, the scene before his eyes was a little beautiful.
Nagini at the bottom of the lake stopped growing after his body reached 14 meters in length.
Under that layer of white, rocky skin, the energy hidden in his muscles and blood was not much left.
His heart was thumping hard.
The increasing frequency seemed to mean that the sleeping monster was about to wake up. Until the sun set and the full moon rose.
The heat on Skull Island was slowly dissipating. As the splashing of water and the cool breeze blew, a 14 meters long monster crawled out of the lake.
Under the pale moonlight, a strange feeling filled the air.
Inexplicably, he felt a chill in his heart. It was as if this monster had an ominous aura on him …
