The kidnapper is a killer crocodile, which is certainly not good news, because you can't tell if he will suddenly lose control of his emotions and accidentally eat the hostage raw.

But it's not without its thankful parts. It is impossible for a big man like a killer crocodile to hide in a trench coat and a hat like a normal person, and it is probably for this reason that he found a third-rate criminal on the street to help him capture the hostage.

Since the killer crocodile can't take the normal road, the only path he can choose is underground.

Roy and Barbara enter the trail from the nearest sewer entrance near the factory where the bodies were found.

It has been suggested a long time ago that although there have been many changes in power in Gotham City since Batman's debut, no matter which leader is the head of the gang, no one has ever controlled the underground of Gotham.

The reason is simple, because what controls the underground has always been a savage, ferocious, and invincible beast. He knew every branch and route of the sewers, was good at guerrilla, and was almost impossible to contain, and his beastly nature made it almost impossible to negotiate with them. So except for the time he spent in Arkham Asylum, he had everything underground under his control.

He is the killer crocodile, the king of the Gotham underground.

And sometimes, the darkest and dirtiest corners of Gotham, the sewers are the closest part to the heart of Gotham.

It wasn't hard to find the nest left by the killer crocodile, and Roy used his strong arm to tear open the heavy water valve that blocked two pipes, and along one of the pipes, he found a hiding place that he had "chiseled" out. It's not a wide space, and the height is only enough to accommodate the height of a killer crocodile. Inside was a table and wire bed that he had picked up from an unknown dump. The bed has been unknown for a few years.

"The bed can't be for the killer crocodile himself." Roy said softly, "It's too small." ”

Barbara nodded, "That's for that kid." ”

"He had planned to hide that kid here," Roy said. But now it seems that I have changed my mind for some reason. ”

His eyes swept inadvertently, and his sensitive eyeballs caught a faint hint of imperceptible bubbles on the yellowing water surface on the side.

Pupil of eye. The hole shrank suddenly. He shouted, "Be careful! ”

But it was too late, and a figure rushed out of the water like a dragon out of the sea. The foul-smelling splash of water was like shrapnel from a grenade. A behemoth swooped down at a speed completely out of line with his body, and before Barbara's ears could digest Roy's warning, a terrifying force slammed into the armor on her chest, slapping her out like a kite.

This thing is too fast. Under the surprise attack, Roy didn't have time to make any moves to predict, and subconsciously rolled to the side to avoid the pounce, but the next catch that followed couldn't be avoided no matter what. Unmatched strength pinched his throat, and his arm was like a jack pressing Roy's upper body down. Roy struggled to keep his stance, but his spine behind him felt like it was on the verge of its limit, and it almost creaked like an old house in a storm.

Roy got a closer look at the beast in front of him. Dense and sturdy scales. A deformed but strong and burly figure, with golden pupils flashing with a fierce light that only cold-blooded animals have, as if he wanted to use his eyes to devour life alive.

"I remember...... You! The killer crocodile bared its fangs and squeezed a few words out between the sharp teeth.

"Last time we met...... It's not very pleasant......" Roy gritted his teeth as he tried his best to prevent his spine from being crushed in two, "I hope this time ...... You won't be any worse. ”

"Roar!" The killer crocodile roared like a mighty man, and the strength in his hand seemed to have increased by two points.

"If you bite harder, I'll tear you in half!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Barbara, who had just been repulsed, was already leaping into the air. One knee as a cannonball blasted towards the temple of the killer crocodile!

"Bang!"

With a loud muffled thud, the killer crocodile was hit by Barbara's knee in the temple, let go of his hand with a howl, and staggered two steps to the side.

But Barbara didn't take advantage of the opportunity to chase after the victory. Because after she landed, her knee was also painful, like hitting a steel plate.

"You!"

The killer crocodile's attention briefly shifted to Barbara, who hurriedly pulled a gun from his golden belt. Pull the trigger. Five or six flying claws rushed out at the same time like a goddess scattering flowers, restricting the movement of the killer crocodile's limbs in the blink of an eye.

But the killer crocodile was almost completely unthinking. Spin fast before the rope behind the claws is fully tightened. When the rope was tightened, binding his massive body. The long, powerful tail behind him had swept like a giant whip.

The twist wrapped in the killer crocodile's own strange power instead pulled Barbara, who was pinching the gun at the other end of the flying claw, and hit the tail swept by the killer crocodile in the middle of the volley. There was no time to move and dodge in mid-air, so Barbara had to raise her arm in a dull way, and her light body was swept out like a feather, and it seemed to be hurt not lightly when it hit the wall.

"Batman doesn't know how many times this little trick has been used on me!" The killer crocodile shook off the messy bat rope and (ww.kans) smirked, "I've learned to cope!" ”

Roy frowned slightly.

Something is wrong.

Although he rarely fights the Killer Crocodile, he is convinced that the Killer Crocodile is the typical simple-minded opponent with developed limbs, he almost never learns his lessons, and his simple and low-level brain cells cannot help him to complete the thinking of a skill.

So how did he come up with this trick? Someone taught him?

If you think about it this way, kidnapping is not the style of a killer crocodile at all. His simple brain cells couldn't sort out such a complex task, and it was likely that someone was behind the idea of kidnapping itself.

But who? Who will teach killer crocodiles these things? And what does he get out of it?

Now, these questions can be put behind them.

Because there are more important troubles to deal with right now.

The killer crocodile shook off Barbara and sprinted towards Roy like a bull in the arena again. However, this time, Roy was prepared, and while avoiding the crocodile's sprint route with minimal movement, he threw an unknown thing in his hand towards the killer crocodile.

The killer crocodile who was sprinting at full speed saw a red mass quickly enlarge, approach, and occupy all the field of vision in front of his eyes, and it stuck to his entire face with a "snap". He roared angrily, like a truck driven by a blind man.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the gel explosives exploded in his face. The crocodile howled miserably, and with a thick face of smoke, planted back into the water behind him, and after a violent bubble, he disappeared without a trace. To be continued.
