Chapter 181 - Chapter 180: Skull Crawlers on Skull Island

Has Adamantium ever appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

The answer is yes.

As everyone knows, the Mutant Wolverine's entire skeleton is made of Adamantium, and because of this, even if Wolverine dies, his skeleton can be used as a weapon by Deadpool.

And it's always effective.

But there are no Mutants here.

Yes.

There are no Mutants in this World.

He was certain of this.

So, Hawk couldn't understand why metal that seemed to be Adamantium would suddenly appear on Skull Island.

Just as he was thinking wildly.

Suddenly.

The entire stilt house began to shake.

Hawk snapped back to reality.

"An earthquake?"

"Shit."

Felicia was also stunned, then reacted, "The Skull Crawlers are out."

Upon hearing this, Hawk's mind conjured the image of the so-called Skull Crawlers from King Kong: Skull Island.

Also terrifying native creatures of Skull Island, they possess massive and terrifying bodies, with gaping maws full of sharp teeth and a claw-tail structure, capable of launching surprise attacks with their tens-of-meters-long tongues.

The village's alarm also blared at this moment.

Countless Ivi Race people, once again armed, ran to the front of the largest building to gather, while many others, also armed, ascended the village's defensive wall.

A tense atmosphere, accompanied by the alarm, instantly spread throughout the entire village.

At the same time.

In the deeper, more distant canyon, filled with a peculiar yellowish-brown mist, a bottomless cave mouth was continuously releasing this yellowish-brown smoke, and with the earthquake-like tremors, a giant, ten-meter-tall Skull Crawler emerged from this cave.

The second, the third, the fifth.

They followed closely.

The five Skull Crawlers that crawled out of the cave stretched their massive bodies, opened their gaping maws, and let out piercing roars, as if announcing their arrival to the entire Skull Island.

The next second.

"Roar!"

King Kong's roar followed immediately, instantly overpowering the combined roars of the five Skull Crawlers.

King Kong's roar was full of anger, unlike the roar he directed at Hawk earlier.

His roar at Hawk was more of a warning.

But his roar at the Skull Crawlers this time was more of a furious rage, a kind of anger that wished to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

"Shit, Peter."

Felicia, who had followed Hawk out of the stilt house, suddenly reacted and looked at Hawk, "Peter is still in King Kong Canyon."

Hawk raised an eyebrow, looking at the deep canyon in the distance.

"Then?"

"Yes."

"I'll go find him."

As Hawk spoke, his figure instantly broke through the air as he looked up, then transformed into a red light, whistling as he swept towards the deep canyon where King Kong had just disappeared, a place whose internal structure was unclear even from high above due to the pervasive yellowish-brown mist.

At this moment in the canyon, with the refresh of the Skull Crawlers, some peculiar creatures living in the canyon also began to stir.

Scare Vultures, with bodies like large vultures, wingspans of several meters, and an appearance similar to giant bats, also gregarious and typically living in the crevices of King Kong Canyon, screamed and flapped their wings in flocks, attempting to escape the canyon.

And Razorback Jackals, resembling hyenas but much larger, with a row of huge, sharp bone plates running down their backs from head to tail, also gregarious animals, were likewise agitated at this moment, frantically trying to rush out of the canyon.

Other strange and even terrifying creatures living in King Kong Canyon were all trying to escape the section of the canyon that was about to become a battlefield.

And this was a hardship for the Ivi Race hunters who had run into the canyon to hunt.

And…

Spider-Woman.

"Holy shit!"

"Watch out!"

Peter watched an Ivi Race hunter, standing before a large Mother Monster, and shot a web from his right wrist, instantly pulling back the Ivi Race hunter who seemed to have been scared stiff.

A dozen Ivi Race people and Peter huddled in a blind spot in the canyon's side.

Herds of Razorback Jackals, Mother Monsters, and other creatures stampeded across the canyon floor, creating a rumbling sound.

Peter and the dozen Ivi Race hunters watched this scene, not daring to breathe, fearing that these native creatures would discover their presence and, in the process of fleeing, swallow them whole.

Just then.

The gravel on the canyon floor, accompanied by an earth tremor, suddenly lifted off the ground, and with the appearance of a thick, massive foot covered in coarse fur, King Kong, the guardian god of Skull Island, made his entrance.

The Razorback Jackals and other creatures, rushing outwards, faced King Kong, a T0 combat-level entity, and instinctively scattered to both sides, as if welcoming their king, leaving the widest and largest path in the middle as a royal road for their king to use.

At the end of the road was a large open space, dimly visible through the dense yellowish-brown mist, littered with countless skeletal remains.

The figures of the five Skull Crawlers were within the mist.

They also saw King Kong at this moment, lined up, and once again opened their gaping maws, roaring at the appearing King Kong.

King Kong roared back in anger.

The next second.

King Kong moved, and the five Skull Crawlers moved as well, and a battle to determine who was the strongest overlord of Skull Island once again began.

Facing this enemy who had repeatedly prevented them from counterattacking Skull Island from underground, the Skull Crawlers wished they could kill King Kong, thus dominating Skull Island, and then using Skull Island as a springboard to counterattack the entire World.

Similarly.

King Kong, facing these enemies who had killed his parents, also had eyes full of rage, desiring to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

So…

This championship fight would determine both victory and defeat, and life and death!

But the Skull Crawlers were clearly cheating.

Who has a championship fight that's five against one? This is just being a rogue.

Hawk, who had already arrived in the canyon, glanced at the already raging championship battle and thought to himself, but he didn't go up to assist; instead, his figure flickered and he landed in front of Peter, who was on the front line, on alert and protecting the Ivi Race hunters behind him.

Hawk almost didn't recognize the person in front of him as Peter.

If it weren't for the fact that the aura of the person in front of him was so intensely Peter that it could only be Peter himself.

As far as the eye could see.

When Peter was in New York City, his skin was at least fair.

But now, almost like the Ivi Race hunters, he was shirtless, and his exposed, muscular skin was somewhat dark and yellow, also covered with scattered scars.

Hmm.

He no longer looked like the bully Maguire.

He looked a bit like the barbarian Maguire.

Hawk glanced at Peter, thinking to himself, then smiled and greeted Peter in front of him.

"Hey, Peter, long time no see."

"…Hawk?"

Peter's eyes visibly brightened with surprise, and just as the joy appeared, his eyes suddenly widened, sweeping past Hawk's shoulder to look behind him, at a Razorback Jackal that was trying to escape and, at the same time, opening its mouth to swallow Hawk.

Hawk, without turning his head, threw a punch behind him.

In an instant.

Punch Shadows filled the air, and the island creatures within his attack range behind him exploded into a pile of rotten flesh under the terrifying attack speed of the Sonic Punch, creating a momentary vacuum.

The terrifying aura emanating from Hawk's punch instantly scared some native creatures, who were about to run past, into stopping dead in their tracks; these creatures were so terrified that they preferred to climb the rocks to escape upwards rather than flee towards Hawk.

At the same time.

The terrifying aura released by his punch also spread into the distant area of dense yellowish-brown mist.

Two Skull Crawlers, circling King Kong and ready to replace their companions, fill gaps, and entangle with King Kong, also stopped in their tracks the moment they smelled Hawk's terrifying aura, and all looked towards the cave mouth they had just crawled out of.

From the depths of the cave mouth, which was emitting dense yellowish-brown smoke, a rhythmic roar seemed to emerge.

The two Skull Crawlers seemed to be listening intently.

The next second.

The roar from the depths of the cave mouth disappeared, and the two massive Skull Crawlers on the ground also seemed to have received a new command; they abandoned their colleagues who were currently entangled with King Kong, let out a sharp roar in Hawk's direction, then dug their four limbs into the ground and swept directly towards Hawk's location.

Hawk's keen six senses also detected the two giant Skull Crawlers rushing towards him.

These two Skull Crawlers were coming straight for him.

Hawk snapped back to reality and looked at Peter, who was beside him and about to catch up.

"Are you alright here?"

"No."

With all his hairs standing on end, sensing the approaching Skull Crawlers, Peter said bluntly, "Be careful, King Kong's parents died at the hands of these Skull Crawlers; their strength is terrifying."

He had been here for over a year, and thanks to Felicia's excellent language skills, he had learned about the history of the Ivi Race, King Kong, and the Skull Crawlers.

Hawk smiled slightly, his peripheral vision on the Skull Crawlers rapidly rushing towards him, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.

"Terrifying strength?"

"Just two Crawlers."

With that said.

Hawk's figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already directly facing the two massive Skull Crawlers that were charging fiercely towards him.

His right fist clenched, pulled back to his waist, and his right foot also retreated instantly, causing the canyon floor to instantly crack loudly.

The two Skull Crawlers also launched themselves into the air at this moment, opening their mouths and exposing their tens-of-meters-long, barbed, crimson tongues, which rapidly swept towards Hawk.

Hawk's right fist, pulled back to his waist, instantly shot out!

"Lightning Speed Fist—"

Countless Punch Shadows exploded from his fist, and in just the blink of an eye, hundreds of Punch Shadows appeared.

The first to suffer was the Skull Crawlers' tongues.

The tongues tore apart under the force of the punches, turning into dense, minced flesh that fell to the ground.

But before the two Skull Crawlers could even react.

Dense Punch Shadows had already covered them like a torrential pear blossom rain.

The next second.
