Its size is larger than the seven skeleton lizards killed by Kong and Merlin in the swamp, and its skin is not as gray-blue as other giant lizards.
The pattern on its body is darker, the claws used to support the body are larger, the bone plates used for defense on its face are thicker, and there are black bone plates and spurs on the tail behind it, which looks very oppressive.
This should be the leader of the skeleton lizard.
Merlin did not disturb this giant beast that was difficult to mess with. He recorded the living environment and characteristics of the giant beast and explored deeper into the cave.
There is a wider tunnel at the bottom of the cave. At the intersection of the cave and the tunnel, Merlin found many scattered bones. In fact, it was like a battlefield for wild animals, with torn bodies and scales everywhere.
The most important thing is that in this place filled with a strong smell of blood, not only the skeleton lizard scattered, but also many bones and torn bodies of other creatures.
Merlin squatted beside the giant skeletons. He touched the terrifying bite marks on the bones. The teeth marks on the bite marks were thicker than his fingers. In the dark, there were still fluorescence on these skeletons.
He could imagine what a fierce battle of monsters happened here.
Moreover, judging from the semi-weathered skeletons around, the war here obviously happened more than once. The skeleton lizards nesting above seemed to regularly fight with the giant beasts rushing out from deeper underground.
Merlin stood up, and he collected several pretty complete bone samples around him. He looked around and finally revealed another secret of the skeleton lizard.
These demon-like creatures are not just destroyers of the Skull Island food chain, but also an important part of it in the larger ecological system.
They survive and reproduce here. Although they will hunt on the surface, they also unexpectedly prevent underground organisms from invading the ground, just like a "biological wall" that separates the surface world from the underground world.
"Nature's magical craftsmanship."
Merlin sighed, he took out his camera and took a photo at the cave wrapped in skeletons in front of him that led to deeper underground. He recorded the pile of skeletons around him, and then recorded the location of the underground passage in his notebook.
Finally, he named the tunnel.
