Brooks said with some surprise, "It seems my thesis is being validated."
Weaver followed up with a question, "Who is he talking about when he says King Kong? Does he mean the giant gorilla that attacked us earlier?"
Li Mu said, "That's right, King Kong is the giant gorilla you saw. King Kong is actually very kind and has been the Guardian of the animals on this island. It's your behavior that angered it, which is why it attacked you."
Upon hearing Li Mu's answer, Shan confirmed that Li Mu indeed understood English, so she asked with some surprise, "You understand English?"
"I can understand." Li Mu nodded and said. Not only does he understand, but he can also speak, though he chooses not to.
Weaver asked, "What did he say just now?"
Shan replied, "He said he can understand English and also said that King Kong is actually very kind. It's because we came here and started throwing bombs, which angered King Kong, resulting in the attack."
