One question, one answer.
Hawk was stunned.
Felicia was also stunned.
"One year?"
"One month?"
"..."
Hawk and Felicia stared at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.
The next second.
Hawk realized why he had passed through the storm system at night, yet it was still daytime here after he entered.
The flow of time here was indeed different from the outside.
It's just…
"One month outside is equal to one year here."
"Then one day here, wouldn't that be equal to outside's…"
Hawk's mind raced.
Felicia, however, had already provided the answer.
"One day here is approximately equal to twelve days outside."
"Hiss!"
Hawk looked at Felicia, who had already calculated the answer, took a deep breath, and then his gaze swept over the layout of the wooden house once more.
At first, he felt the wooden house was very clean and cozy, but at the same time, he felt something was off.
But he couldn't pinpoint it at first.
Now he knew what was off.
This wooden house, whether in its arrangement, furnishings, or even decorations, was completely out of place with the natives outside who liked to get tattoos on their bodies.
"So, these stools and tables were also made by you and Peter?"
"Mainly Peter."
Seeing Hawk change the subject, Felicia didn't continue on the time flow. She followed Hawk's gaze and said with a smile, "Peter's hands are very skillful."
When speaking of Peter, Felicia's face showed that unique expression of a woman in love towards her boyfriend.
Aura doesn't lie.
Hawk initially thought Peter was here, but only Felicia was present and Peter was nowhere to be seen.
This was not a mistake in his perception.
Rather, the lingering aura of Peter on Felicia had reached a point where it could almost pass for the real thing.
There was only one possibility for this situation.
Fusion!
So…
When Hawk heard Felicia praise Peter's skillful hands, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"By the way, weren't you here to find Peter's parents? Did you find them?"
"Found them."
"Then…"
"You just said that one day here is equal to twelve days outside. That explains why the Iwi tribesmen said Peter's parents passed away more than a hundred years ago. At first, we thought it was due to a language barrier, but we never expected… what they said about more than a hundred years ago was true."
One year on Skull Island was equal to one month outside.
Peter's parents went missing more than ten years ago, converted to Skull Island time, wasn't that more than a hundred years ago?
Just then.
Felicia seemed to think of something and looked at Hawk: "That's not right, you said only a month has passed outside, so it should be the supply troops I arranged before entering who came, how did you come?"
Hawk returned to his senses and looked at Felicia.
"I mean you guys have been in here for over a month."
"Outside…"
"Everyone in your research Base died, leaving only one survivor, what was his name, Os-something."
"Os?"
"Yes."
Hawk nodded, briefly telling Felicia about the sudden attack on the research Base during a rainy night outside, then frowned: "Do you have any other enemies who might know about your research Base in the Pacific Ocean?"
Felicia was silent for a moment, then shook her head.
"My takeover of Osborn Bio went very smoothly, and those old shareholders don't reject me like they rejected Harry. At least our current cooperation is pleasant, so there shouldn't be anyone who would be detrimental to me."
"Forget it, we'll talk about this later."
Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Hawk didn't care. At least Peter and Felicia were safe.
Once again.
He wasn't a saint; it was enough to make himself and his friends happy.
As for others?
Not important.
Just like he knew Felicia didn't come alone with Peter; there should have been a combat team as well.
But Hawk didn't even ask.
Because he didn't care, he didn't want to ask.
"By the way, how long has Peter been out? When will he be back?"
"He went out early this morning. The village's hunting team goes out every morning to hunt and usually returns before the Sun sets."
When Felicia spoke of Peter, her face once again showed the expression of someone in love, and she said with a smile, "Peter is very capable. After we arrived here, the Iwi people here accepted us. I learned some simple Iwi words, and it was still Peter, Peter is very amazing, it's too dangerous outside, Hawk, have you seen…"
At this point, Felicia exchanged another glance with Hawk, and her voice trailed off.
The next second.
Felicia averted her gaze: "You're not afraid, you're fine. Do you know what the Iwi people said when they knelt before you just now?"
Hawk thought about the scene of the natives kneeling before him.
"God?"
"No."
"No? Then what?"
"He thought you were their ancestor."
"What the heck?"
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
He didn't even have a descendant yet, so how did he suddenly become someone else's ancestor?
Also…
Originally, he thought Peter's romance would be very bumpy, and no matter what, he would definitely have children before Peter.
The result…
Damn time difference!
As Hawk was shocked, his peripheral vision glanced at Felicia's belly.
Where…
The Little Spider was developing robustly.
Felicia glanced at Hawk, thinking he was surprised by the Iwi tribe's worship of him, so she explained, "In the Iwi tribe's legends, they are descendants of the God. That male God could also fly in the air and possessed immense power. And you, like their legendary ancestor, can fly in the air and are powerful."
Hawk chuckled.
"I don't have that many descendants."
"I know, I'm just saying. If they were descendants of the God, they wouldn't be on this perilous island."
Felicia said so, then looked at Hawk: "By the way, are you thirsty? There's a special fruit here, a bit like a coconut from outside, but it tastes better than a coconut. Peter brought a few back a few days ago, I'll get you one."
Hawk responded.
"Alright."
"Just a moment."
Felicia smiled slightly, turned, went into the inner room, and then quickly returned, holding a blue fruit similar to a coconut.
After Hawk took the fruit, Felicia then grabbed a handful of metal in her hand: "This thing is very hard, you can only use this…"
Before she finished speaking.
She found the metal had disappeared from her hand.
In sight.
Felicia saw Hawk staring intently at the metal knife in his hand.
"Uh… Hawk?"
"Hmm."
Hawk reacted, looked at Felicia, and squeezed the metal knife in his hand: "Where did this thing come from?"
Felicia subconsciously said, "Peter saved an Iwi child before, and they gave it to us as thanks. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this metal?"
Hawk shook his head.
There was nothing wrong with this metal.
However, it was just that after he saw this piece of metal, his Sixth Sense, which had been constantly prompting him, suddenly disappeared.
Clearly.
This time, his Sixth Sense prompted him to come here, indicating it might take some time, but the thing he was looking for was this piece of metal in his hand.
At first, he was a bit curious about what kind of thing he would need to spend some time to find.
Hawk originally thought this thing would be hard to find or hard to obtain.
The result…
The Sixth Sense's mention of needing to spend some time referred to the time flow difference between Skull Island and the outside world. Even if he spent one day here, twelve days would have passed outside, which perfectly matched the Sixth Sense's prompt about needing to spend some time.
As for this metal now?
Hawk's right hand, gripping the metal, instantly burst into Fire, and in the scorching, almost White-hot flames, this small piece of metal showed no signs of softening or melting whatsoever.
Hiss!
This metal's melting point is even higher than Vibranium's?
As Hawk looked at the metal that showed no signs of softening even under the outburst of his Little Universe, he couldn't help but gasp. At the same time, his mind conjured another unique metal that indeed had a higher melting point than Vibranium and could be found on Earth itself.
Adamantium!
Although Vibranium is powerful and can absorb all kinetic energy, this absorption is not endless. Once it exceeds its absorption capacity, it will still break.
Take Captain America's shield as an example.
Captain America's shield was almost shattered in just a few swings by Thanos's Uru Metal double-edged sword.
But if Captain America's shield was made of Adamantium instead of Vibranium.
Let's put it this way.
Thanos wouldn't be able to crack it, even if he chopped until the end of time.
Because Adamantium's characteristic is hardness!
Unprecedented hardness.
Adamantium must be kept at high temperatures; once it solidifies, it will completely take shape and can no longer change its form or be decomposed, even if it is again subjected to high temperatures, it will not melt again.
Let's put it this way.
Wolverine was able to withstand all of Jean's Phoenix Force thanks to this metal.
All of it.
The only metal that can penetrate Adamantium is Adamantium.
Hawk now completely understood why his Sixth Sense said there was something he wanted here.
Because Adamantium was truly what he wanted.
Of course.
Uru Metal was also something he wanted.
However…
Among the materials used to forge his truly complete phoenix cloth, Uru Metal was what he intended to use to replace Vibranium.
But Silver Star Sand and Gamma Rays were also things he needed to find equivalent replacements for.
He hadn't been in a hurry before because he had no clues for a while.
But now.
Hawk looked at the metal in his hand, which he suspected was Adamantium, and his eyes became somewhat fervent.
He found a substitute for Silver Star Sand.
It was Adamantium.
The phoenix cloth forged by fusing Uru Metal and Adamantium would be truly indestructible.
It's just…
How could there be suspected Adamantium on this isolated island?
Also…
