While Xu was eating a squid meal, Conrad and his party along the river discovered the indigenous tribe built on the banks of the river.

After a tense standoff, World War II Air Force veteran Mark Hanke came out in time to prevent the conflict between the two sides.

"They said that someone came and I didn't believe it, 28 years and 11 months, and eight attempts to return to the outside world failed, but you came to me?"

Almost all of Hank’s laughing tears came out, more agitated than Conrad and others, talking about his encounter and his longing for the return of the outside world.

Nearly 29 years later, once a young and handsome man, he has become a sloppy old man with all hair and no edges.

“You may have noticed that there are many strange things on this island, and if we stay in this tribe, we will be fine.”

Hank led the crowd through the low wall into the tribe, and the first thing they saw was a defensive wall made of giant trees and across the river tens of meters high.

Weaver asked, “Is this wall meant to stop the monster?”

“No.”Although Weaver didn't say what kind of monster it was, Hank knew it and shook his head, "It's not that they're blocking it."

The people thought they were wrong, but Hank did not explain much, but took them all the way and explained the habits of these natives and what he knew.

There are no criminals here, no private property, and some people don’t even get old, all sounds incredible.

After looking at the indigenous people who appeared to be the two chiefs, Hank turned to the crowd and said, "Good news, they say you can live here."

People looked at each other, looking at the quiet of the indigenous people around, feeling a little strange.

"But I didn't hear them."Conrad approached Hank and asked.

Hank explained, "They don't talk much, and they never laugh, and if you stay here long enough like me, you'll understand."

“Wait a minute!”Neves stopped Hank, and his mood was a little out of control: "We can't stay, we want to leave the island, we have to go back to life..."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Conrad interrupted Neves and said, "Calm down, Neves, the time is not right, okay?"

Neves stopped, and Hank said, "When you step on here, don't think about going back."

The atmosphere was a little dull, but perhaps too long here, and Hank soon spoke more and more, and took the crowd outside the wreck of a large ship.

“This ship has washed ashore ten years before I am, and it is now their holy place, so don’t touch anyone who doesn’t want to break his hand.”

The people followed him and walked cautiously in, and the torches lit on both sides of the road, and the natives were stationed along the road like sculptures, which seemed to be particularly solemn and solemn.

Entering the innermost, through a door, they came to a wide hall.

On both sides of the hall stood countless rectangular stone tablets, which depict a picture of indigenous people fighting various monsters, recording the history of the past.

“According to them, for thousands of years, the people of this island have lived in fear and in the shadow of various monsters, but one day, the strangest things happened, and some monsters they feared began to protect them from being eaten by other monsters, but everything was not eternal...”

Hanke first pointed to a picture of a giant gorilla kneeling in front of two other orangutan bodies, and then to the picture in the middle of the front: "They worship it as the last savior here."

Seeing this picture, Conrad and others were stunned, and the above picture was painted with the terrible orangutan monster that had hit them in the water before.

"His name is King Kong, he is the hegemon here, these people for him to be a god, King Kong is a good hegemon, he is accustomed to being alone."

"This is his home, we're just guests, but who's going to drop bombs at someone else's house unless you want to start a war!"

Under Hank's explanation, the people finally realized and understood all the reasons, but still some doubts.

They heard Hanke say before that in World War II, in addition to him, another Japanese came to the island together.

But now that Hank was left, Weaver asked, “Didn’t King kill your friend?”

“No.”Hank looked sad and turned to another picture not far away and said, "The monster who killed King Kong is the god of this island, but there is a demon under us."

“What is it called?”Conrad asked.

Hank whispered, “The Ivi people don’t say their names, but I call them skeletons, they are a kind of big lizard, very ferocious, from cracks deep underground, they are very cunning, extremely cruel, and the bombs you drop will surely wake up those small ones.”

"If there is not a King Kong, you will not live to live now, King Kong will deal with them, but there is only the greatest should not come out, because the Ive said that only King Kong is not there, the great devil will appear, it is time for great disaster, so you better hope that King Kong is all right."

"Listen to me."Conrad said at this time: "There will be a refueling team that will reach the north shore of the island in three days."

Weaver also said, "You should leave with us."

“Going to the north of the island?”Hank suddenly laughed, “In three days?”

“Yes!”Conrad laughed too, but was then clasped Hank on his face with his hand, as if to wake him.

“It’s impossible to get to the north side of the island in three days!”Be careful!Don't dream!"Hank turned and walked, but after a few steps, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned his eyes brightly: "At least it is impossible to walk."

...

After Xu Jing finished the marsh giant squid, he found the entrance to the crack deep underground near the vicinity.

It was a black paint hole in white smoke, about ten meters in diameter, and looked down at a glance, not seeing the bottom, giving a deep and terrible feeling.

Not far from the hole, the bodies of two skeletons were on one side.

Xu Jing is a bit distressed, the two tasks released by the system seem simple, but it is not so easy to complete.

The first task was to kill all the skeletons, but now he wasn’t sure how many of them had gone outside except for the two he had caught and killed on the spot.

The second task is more difficult to complete, although the crack leading to the ground is not large, but it is too deep, and it is not known how much it can be solved.
