Chapter 154: The God of the Swamp
"The green of all things?"
Indeed, in DC, most of the events involving plants cannot avoid the green of all things. This thing is very high, and it is connected with all the plants in the universe, and it is a conceptual-level abstract existence.
However, since it is in Gotham, the first consideration of the botanical department is naturally Poison Ivy. She is also one of the agents of the green of all things.
"Parr, try to locate Pamela Eisley." Shen Youdao.
"Trying."
But it's hard to say whether it can be locked in. Gotham villains don't say that playing peek-a-boo is still more set than the other, and Batman must be digging deep to find where Poison Ivy is. If it really has something to do with her, it shouldn't be so easy to find.
"All these plants, they're all stimulated by some kind of energy that comes from the 'green of everything.'" The old wizard said, "I can try to draw that power out of it."
I remember your device can record magic fluctuations? If you follow the direction of the high concentration of this fluctuation and find the place where this 'green of everything' energy converges, you should be able to locate the culprit of the incident. ”
The old wizard said, pinched a magic seal, and handed his right palm to the side.
"Come here."
As if an irresistible order was given, a vine flew out of the darkness and landed in his palm.
The plants that were caught by the vines wanted to cry without tears.
It doesn't feel like there's some power to say no, either
"Honestly, I'm kind of getting used to that."
Kara leaned back in her chair with her legs crossed, drinking her coffee with a cup in her hand, while a vine next to her respectfully helped her carry the tray, and two vines curled up the tips behind her, massaging her shoulders like little fists.
"Once you get used to them, they're pretty cute."
Then I found that the old man in the store was staring at him with an unkind expression.
Kara hurriedly put down her long legs on the table, and looked well-behaved: "Did I just say something?" I mean, whoever the culprits are, they're so disgusting! It must be punished severely! ”
The two of them withdrew their gaze.
The old wizard cast a spell, and a dark green magic power was suddenly squeezed out of the vines, like a churning gas lingering in his palm. The drained vines also withered from their sturdy state, slipped out of the old wizard's palms in humiliation, and retreated into the shadows.
But after leaving the plant, this energy lost its support and quickly dissipated like smoke.
"Parr, did you write it down?"
"Perfect record, sir."
"Good, activate the armor. We've found the breadcrumbs, it's time to go down the rabbit hole. ”
The mobile armor soared into the sky, and after a while, the fluctuation of the green of all things guided Shen You to the construction site of Roxen Energy.
At this time, the construction site was already a mess. Barren scene, crazy plants cover almost all the site equipment. Excavators were the primary target, and the entire large machinery was entangled in the root system, the rusty iron sheets were pierced by branches and vines, most of the hydraulic pipes were bitten off, and the debris that fell to the ground piled up.
This was followed by a concrete mixer on the side. Heavy mechanical arms are entwined with plants, twisted metal glistening dimly in the sunlight. The cement mixer truck on the side was covered with thick moss and weeds, and the tires were stuck in the roots of the trees and could not move.
And in this chaotic scene, Shen You saw at a glance the old man trembling in the corner.
He was also the only human in the audience.
Shen You landed and came to the old man.
"Are you from Roxon Energy?"
The old man looked up tremblingly, I don't know if it was because he was frightened or what, in short, he didn't look very smart.
"What energy?"
"Roxon Energy."
"Roxon what?"
"Roxon Energy."
"Oh."
The old man made a sudden expression, as if he finally understood.
But half a second later, he frowned and asked, "What kind of energy is Luo?" ”
“.”
Giving up asking this uncle, Shen You activated the scan and began to inspect the scene. As he expected, there was a large amount of "green of everything" fluctuations brewing under the ground of the construction site, like a huge plant reactor. With this place as the center, a large number of veins extend in all directions, and energy is transported to all directions of the city along all the veins, like blood vessels rushing endlessly.
Just as he was about to check further, the old man suddenly jumped up and hugged him.
"It's the god of the swamp!"
"What god?" Shen You was puzzled.
"The god of the swamp is an ancient legend in our area!" The uncle seemed to suddenly regain his senses, and shouted emotionally, "A long time ago, gods were born in the swamp, guarding the green land and the jungle!"
The chief evil of Gotham tried to bury the body that exposed his sinful deeds in that swamp, and as a result, the punishment of God was triggered. Those who walked into this jungle never came out again."
"Urban legends?" Shen You was clear.
"It's not a legend, it's true!" The old man shouted excitedly, "We all know that the god of the swamp is real, it guards the woodland and never leaves!"
But now it is enraged, because foolish humans are trying to encroach on its territory.
I warned them, I warned everyone, but none of them wanted to listen. The wrath of God will sanction this city, and no one can stop it"
In just a few words, Shen You roughly understood what this was about.
To put it simply, there is a group of little experts who want to put this construction on hold, and the local residents say that this will alarm the land god, they don't believe it, and the matter is big, and the land god is angry and the city sends it.
Hiss~ How do you seem to have seen this development anywhere?
Of course, this is not an Okuto set after all, and it is unlikely that there are some monsters buried in the ground or something. But on the DC side, Shen You really immediately thought of a character that fit this description.
An enemy attack alert pops up in the interface.
It was a vine, coming from the deep black jungle, first silently approaching the grass, and when it got close to a certain distance, it suddenly accelerated, and burst towards the place where the two of them were.
The astonishing speed that shouldn't have appeared on a plant at all, with a wave of air that broke through the air.
Shen You frowned slightly, and light blue lightning radiated from the battle armor in an instant. The vines pierced his afterimage domineeringly, and with a loud thud it pierced through the cement mixer truck behind him like a spear.
Enough to pierce the vines of steel, and so easily that it was like piercing a layer of window paper. After missing the blow, it immediately jerked back and disappeared into the darkness.
Shen You followed behind him a string of afterimages, and took the uncle to the side. The galloping speed made the uncle frightened, and his mouth trembled vaguely.
Shen You turned around, and the vines had turned around from the darkness again.
It's just that this time it's no longer so alone, but a dense accumulation!
"Is that really the guy?"
The god of the swamp, this name is very reminiscent of that specific superhero in the DC world view. A member of the Justice League of Darkness, Konstantin's good brother, and the embodiment of the Green of All Things.
Swamp monsters.
