CHAPTER 287: CHAPTER 191: MONSTER PLANET, GODZILLA (REQUEST FOR MONTHLY TICKETS)

The Skeleton Giant Lizard is not exclusive to Skull Island; there are quite a few of them in the subterranean areas outside West City. Back in the day, it almost breached the city’s walls due to a Beast Tide triggered by the Super Soaring Dragon.

The Swamp Giant Squid, too, is similar; they are found both in the ocean and certain swamps.

But the Solitary Reef Bull Demon is a rarity. Though it looks like a gigantic water buffalo and isn’t very aggressive—timid, even—it is undeniably an exclusive species of Skull Island.

Qin Shou crouched down and touched the grass beneath his feet.

Azure Star Power surged into the ground, and Qin Shou raised an eyebrow.

"Such abundant Earth Core Energy!"

Standing up, he looked toward the endless green mountain range and waved his hand to release Rein Jia’er and Kazek.

Determining whether this place was Skull Island was quite simple: find King Kong.

If this truly was Skull Island, the quickest way to lure out King Kong would be to unleash a large Monster to wreak havoc here. As the star of Skull Island, King Kong would undoubtedly show up.

But doing that might just get him punched to death by King Kong.

Who knew how much King Kong had grown now?

Years ago, King Kong could fight planes; maybe now, he could rip apart spaceships.

Besides, Qin Shou wasn’t here to stir up trouble; he was just lost.

"Moo..."

Not far away on a small hill, the previously startled Solitary Reef Bull Demon let out a panicked roar, as if it had encountered something terrifying.

Activating his flight mechanism out of curiosity, Qin Shou flew over the hilltop. He saw three Skeleton Giant Lizards, each about ten meters long, circling the Bull Demon and snarling incessantly. Propped up on their forelimbs, they were poised to strike.

The Solitary Reef Bull Demon glanced up at Qin Shou flying overhead, its enormous head bowing repeatedly, seemingly pleading for help.

Qin Shou smirked. So now it’s afraid? What was the point of running earlier?

With a wave of his hand, he released a swarm of Gold-eating Insects. The golden mist split into three, instantly engulfing the Skeleton Giant Lizards.

Amid the lizards’ anguished wails, sinister gnawing sounds echoed. In just a few seconds, all that remained were three skeletal remains.

The Gold-eating Insects, still unsatisfied, continued devouring the bones until nothing was left. Only then did the golden mist gather beneath Qin Shou’s feet.

"Moo..."

The Solitary Reef Bull Demon, having witnessed this horrifying scene, trembled and collapsed, daring not to move.

Qin Shou, on the other hand, stared at the Bull Demon’s plump body with unknown intentions.

Hmm... Forget it. He was still full from the Mutuo Eggs he had eaten earlier; fat beef hot pot would have to wait.

A flash of Golden Light shimmered as Qin Shou soared off toward a distant bamboo grove.

"Boom..."

His Battle Armor’s energy extinguished as Qin Shou landed in the bamboo grove.

Surveying the surroundings, he nodded in satisfaction, retrieved his Capsule Apartment, set up barriers, and settled down temporarily.

In the living room, Qin Shou projected the view from his communicator onto the wall. Half-reclining on the sofa, he patted his belly and watched the footage transmitted by Rein Jia’er.

On screen, Rein Jia’er encountered a Mantis Monster camouflaged as dead tree trunks in the forest.

No, it wasn’t camouflaged—the dead tree trunks were actually part of the monster’s body.

Spore Mantis Giant!

Meanwhile, Kazek, who was flying through the air, also discovered a long-legged monster hidden in the bamboo grove.

This creature resembled a long-legged spider, with slender legs resembling bamboo stalks. Any living being crossing its territory would have its skull impaled by those bamboo-like legs.

Long-Legged Mother Monster!

Qin Shou glanced out the bamboo grove window and instinctively touched his own skull.

The Long-Legged Mother Monster seemed to be nearby—so terrifying!

"Zzz zzz zzz..."

A swarm of Gold-eating Insects flew out the window, heading straight for the Long-Legged Mother Monster.

Such a frightening beast—it’s best to eliminate it as soon as possible.

As Kazek moved further away from the bamboo grove, the footage revealed more Monsters unique to Skull Island.

Terror Vulture, Blade-Spined Jackal, Icarus Wings...

But there was still no sign of King Kong.

Qin Shou shook his head. Since he was here, he might as well adapt. He could develop stealthily first, and then look for a way out.

After upgrading to Vajra Seven Stars, the enhancement from his Armor allowed his strength to reach Vajra Nine Stars—he could handle three opponents at once with no problem.

Strengthening these Synthetic Monsters to Horror Eight Stars would mean he wouldn’t fear any Vajra Nine Stars, no matter how many of them showed up.

Encountering students from the Three Major Cities in the future, he wouldn’t need to act timid anymore.

Since teachers of the Unbreakable Realm couldn’t intervene, Qin Shou could act without restraint.

Just thinking about it made him a little excited.

...

The next day, after digesting the Mutuo Eggs, Qin Shou took out another one.

This time—fried Mutuo Eggs!

Breaded and fried to a golden crisp, even Big Big Wolf next door was drooling.

Ignoring Big Big Wolf’s pitiful wide eyes, Qin Shou cut a small piece for Zhi Yin, then devoured the rest for himself.

"Beep beep..."

Just as Qin Shou opened his mouth wide, his communicator emitted a sound, projecting footage onto the wall.

At the edge of a swamp, Rein Jia’er, his lion-faced servant, appeared panicked. One of his claws was digging desperately into the ground, as though something was pulling him from behind. With his other hand, he sent video footage to Qin Shou.

"Master, help me..."

Before he could finish, an octopus tentacle emerged behind him and accidentally slipped into his mouth.

"Mmph mmph..."

Rein Jia’er’s lion face showed panic, mixed with a hint of shame...

Qin Shou: "..."

He glanced at the fried Mutuo Egg in his hand and hesitated.

"Damn it, how could I even hesitate between a pet and food!"

Qin Shou slammed the table, guilt plastered across his face.

Activating the communicator, the Capsule Apartment’s roof quickly opened, and Qin Shou, encased in Battle Armor and clutching the Mutuo Egg, soared into the sky.

...

Several kilometers away in the swamp.
