Boom!
The two heads were shattered, and the enormous body of the skull crawler, whose brain tissue was wriggling inside, flew backward and fell into the earthy yellow smoke.
As the other three skull crawlers were trying to gang up on King Kong, one of them, with a body length of over twenty meters, roared angrily and then turned its attack target.
The skull crawler, watching the shadow coming from outside, angrily spat out its crimson barbed tongue.
In the next second.
The sound of metal collision rang out.
The skull crawler, feeling its tongue hooked onto something, instantly roared and rolled its tongue up, planning to swallow Hawk, who seemed insignificant in its sight.
Hawk was wrapped by the skull crawler's tongue, rapidly being pulled toward the skull crawler's bloody mouth.
But just as he was about to be swallowed into the crawler's belly.
Little Cosmos burned.
"Bang!"
"Hiss!"
At the moment Hawk exerted his four limbs, he shattered the skull crawler's tongue into pieces and floated steadily in the air.
The skull crawler screamed, but seemingly felt no pain from its broken tongue, like an emotionless super beast, it directly bit off the exposed broken tongue with its teeth and lunged at Hawk in the air.
"Sound Speed Fist!"
"Bang!"
As the skull crawler's head tilted, its long barbed tail lashed at Hawk like a steel whip.
Hawk punched again, blasting the skull crawler, which was obviously stronger than the previous two and could at least survive one of his hits, back to the ground.
The skull crawler that returned to the ground shook its head, adjusted its stance in less than a blink, and launched another strong assault on Hawk.
"Flash!"
"Sound Speed Fist!"
"Boom, boom, boom—"
Under the overwhelming shadow of fists, the skull crawler was first smashed back onto the ground by countless fist shadows. Following its sharp screaming howl, with a boom, its limbs spread out tightly against the ground with a cracking sound, dust soared into the air, and its head was completely shattered under Hawk's hundred punches per second Sound Speed Fist.
Into the eyes.
In the endless earthy yellow dust, the skull crawler with its head completely shattered lay quietly on the ground, with exceptionally strange blood flowing from its broken head.
Meanwhile.
Not far away, King Kong also caught a skull crawler, directly squeezing its head with a massive hand like a hill. Amidst the latter's roar, he showed his fangs and bit open the skull crawler's head.
Accompanied by an unusually bloody tearing sound, King Kong bit off most of the skull crawler's head.
Then King Kong threw the skull crawler in his hand toward the last skull crawler, seizing the moment when it instinctively dodged, he tightly grasped the tail of that skull crawler with both hands.
In the next second.
Slam!
Slam left and right.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The last skull crawler in King Kong's hands, constantly slammed left and right against the ground, had its head shattered at a visibly fast speed until a crackling sound marked its complete destruction.
King Kong tossed away the skull crawler's body, stretched his arms toward the cave continuously emitting earthy yellow smoke, and beat his chest while roaring with extreme anger.
As if saying...
Come!
If you dare, come up again.
The cave remained silent, but visibly, the earthy yellow smoke it emitted started to thin.
At this moment.
King Kong caught sight of Hawk flying toward the cave in his peripheral vision.
His roar became rapid and short.
As if warning Hawk of the danger, not to approach.
"Roar!"
"...Don't worry, I'm just taking a look."
Hawk heard King Kong's roar directed at him, glanced back and smiled as he spoke, then landed on the edge of the cave with a diameter of about ten meters, as soon as he leaned forward, the face shield of the Phoenix Holy Armor appeared, covering his head, and he looked down into the cave.
But...
He couldn't see, couldn't see anything.
"Down here..."
"Could it already connect to the so-called Inner Earth World."
Hawk, feeling the dense earthy yellow smoke below that his vision couldn't penetrate, thought of the Inner Earth World existing in the King Kong World.
He suppressed the urge rising in his heart to jump down, withdrew his gaze, turned to the watching King Kong.
King Kong saw Hawk turn around, roared urgently again, as if saying the lair of those skull crawlers was below, danger, cannot go.
Hawk smiled at King Kong's concern: "Rest assured, I won't go now."
King Kong seemingly understood Hawk's words, roared deeply again, then turned, his broad arms directly gripping the cliff's soaring rock face, and soon disappeared at the canyon's peak.
Hawk followed Peter back to the Uighur village.
Ignoring the Uighur people who worshiped him as an ancestral deity again, he went ahead to Felicia's stilt house.
After a while.
Peter also rushed back from outside, and then gave Hawk a warm hug.
"God, I knew you would find us. But, I thought you could find us in a month; it's been a year."
"Peter."
Felicia, who was beside him, heard this and said to Peter, "It was just a month."
Peter instinctively looked at Felicia.
Felicia nodded.
"It was just a month; only a month has passed outside."
"What?"
Peter's eyes widened as he looked at Hawk: "Only a month has passed outside."
Hawk smiled at Peter but didn't speak.
He found that the current Peter was a completely different person compared to the old Peter.
But this change was a positive one.
At least, the Peter he saw now seemed more cheerful and bright than the silent Peter from outside.
After all, outside is a world governed by rules.
And here is a barbaric world.
The Peter outside, even with absolute power, was constrained by rules. But here, Peter seemed to be completely liberated.
Just now.
When he and Peter returned to the village just now.
The Uighur people looked at him with awe, but their gaze toward Peter was one of acceptance and admiration.
Moreover, Peter seemed to have good relations with people here.
Hawk thought to himself.
Upon receiving this news about the time difference, Peter's expression turned a bit strange as he sat on the bench beside him, covering his face with one hand, and said to Felicia sitting next to him, "So, the Uighur people weren't wrong; my parents really did die over a hundred years ago?"
Felicia looked at the questioning Peter and comforted him: "Think about it positively; the Uighur people weren't lying. Howard and Mary naturally aged and then passed away."
This was a blessing in disguise.
Howard Parker and Mary Parker didn't die from the endless terrifying creatures on Skull Island. The plane happened to crash near the river where the Uighur tribe was located, and they lived there until they passed away.
Because of this, when Peter and Felicia arrived at the Uighur tribe ten months ago, they were quickly accepted by the Uighur people.
Because before this, Peter's parents had been here, and even taught some Uighur tribe members some English when they were alive. Although more than a hundred years had passed, a few members of the Uighur tribe still retained the language.
Because of this, Felicia, who had an excellent talent for languages, was able to smoothly communicate with the Uighur people so quickly.
Peter was silent for a while, nodded, and then forced a smile on his face: "You're right; at least they died of natural aging."
He had actually accepted the news of his parents' death, but the Uighur people's initial statement of them dying over a hundred years ago gave him a false impression.
But...
Peter thought about the time difference between Skull Island and the outside world, still shocked as he looked at Hawk: "Only a month has passed outside; this is unscientific."
Even if you swap planets.
Swap planets and say there's a time difference with Earth, he could accept that.
But...
Skull Island is just separated from the outside world by a thick storm system. You're telling me that I've been here a solid year, yet only a month has passed outside?
Hawk glanced at Peter.
"You can shoot spider webs from your wrist, is that scientific?"
"I..."
Listening to Hawk's retort, Peter opened his mouth, recalling the past scenes where people frequently asked how he could shoot webs, and wisely chose to skip the topic, looking at Hawk: "So, is Aunt Mei okay? I told her in advance that I might not be back for the first half of the year. Aunt Mei also wants to know where my parents went, so she supported my decision."
Hawk shrugged: "How would I know? When the old caretaker told me you were missing, I came straight away. But this time, when you go back, Aunt Mei will surely be happy."
Peter thought Hawk was talking about him finding out the whereabouts of his parents and grinned: "Yeah, Aunt Mei also always cared about my parents."
Hawk laughed: "Aunt Mei not only cares about your parents, she's also fond of little spiders."
Peter's expression was stunned.
"What little spiders?"
"...Take a guess."
Hawk heard this, exchanged a glance with Felicia who was sitting nearby with her mouth covered, and then showed Peter a mysterious smile.
He didn't know Felicia hadn't told Peter.
So...
This couldn't be blamed on him.
Peter wasn't a fool, and upon realizing it, looked at Felicia beside him in disbelief.
"Feili..."
"Hmm."
Felicia didn't play dumb either, meeting Peter's eyes and nodded.
Peter was dumbfounded!
...
