[Comprehensive British and American] Shoebill stork is passing by

Live whale falls.

The so-called whale fall refers to the fact that after a whale dies, its body sinks to the bottom of the sea. For hundreds of years, countless decomposers will surround the corpse of this whale. Dozens of tens of thousands of lives are due to the existence of whale fall. Only then did it gain life, it is the last pondering of the whale, and it is the most beautiful oasis in the barren land of the deep sea.

In the end, the whale falls became a part of the reef, and there are still countless creatures attached to it, inhabiting and multiplying here.

Therefore, just hearing the name "Live Whale Fall", Batman thought they would see a huge zombie white whale that was constantly cruising along with the ocean currents.

Yet something wasn't quite right.

The front fins are short, the hind limbs are almost completely degenerated, and the body is overgrown, which is not proportional to the head.

The way of swimming is not like the common side-to-side swing, nor the up-and-down swing like a whale. It seems to be a snake-like type, reminiscent of a swimming eel.

Dragon King Whale.

Also known as the Mechanical Tooth Whale, there is also a direct saying that it is called the "Lizard King".

Sometimes people imagine it as a strange fantasy creature somewhere between a snake and a western dragon, or some kind of giant sea serpent from ancient times.

It moved forward at an extremely slow speed on the bottom of the sea, and seemed to be a black shadow cast by a winding crack in the distance.

So far, most of the mutant animals have not changed much in size. The appearance of desert foxes, cheetahs, and Pipi tends to mutate in fur color, and the size of the shoebill is a few circles larger, which is not unacceptable.

The previous mutant hairtail was even smaller than the oarfish, not reaching the population limit of 7 meters.

The most outrageous thing is the snow disaster beast. The ordinary manul is only the size of a standard domestic cat, but the big flower is as big as a small mountain bag.

Expanded more than dozens of times.

And this one?

The goggles in underwater mode allow him to see the bottom of the sea clearly, so Batman is very clear. From the beginning when he found the shadow, until now they have descended for about 3 minutes, the thing has been enlarged a lot, but the details on it are still the same. Invisible.

In other words, it was in a more distant place, and they could see the shadow, but they couldn't see its specific appearance.

And considering what "whale down" might be alluding to, Batman has to give an outrageous number.

At present, the lion's mane jellyfish, the most outrageous marine creature, stretches each tentacles to a length of about 35 meters, and magnifies it dozens of times. How far can it go?

If you compare it with the aircraft carrier of Aegis, this thing is at least 4 times the size of the aircraft carrier.

They went a good bit further downstream, and the armor reminded Batman that they were in the deep ocean, but couldn't feel any water pressure.

Batman focused on observing the live whale landing. He could see the general details of the opponent's head, body and tail. As for other features, markings, etc., he couldn't observe them. Batman watched for a long time, but he couldn't see them. The eyes and mouth of the living whale can be found in the blur.

It seems that it is just cruising unconsciously.

In the lightless deep sea, there are actually some dots of light on it.

If you look closely, you can find that there are many small circular membranes covering the top of the whale fall, which seems to be an entrance for entry and exit.

Hai Shaoxia chose a dark green membrane and led them through it.

I just felt that the surroundings became refreshed instantly, and when I came back to my senses, I had already fallen into a dry space.

pat.

pat, pat.

Hai Shaoxia landed with the whalebill stork in his hands. When he stood still, the whalebill stork's size could perfectly block his entire body, with his feet and neck retracted, like a huge roast chicken being held.

Followed by Batman.

The third "click" was Pippi flicking its long wet tail on the beak of the whalebill stork. It was only a subconscious movement, but it was surprised to find that it could make the sound of slapping stones.

"Huh?" What kind of material is this bird's beak made of?

Pippi whimpered and muttered in a low voice, and tentatively scratched it lightly with her paws.

Of course, failed to tickle.

The otter's little claws didn't break the defense at all, and didn't even leave a scratch.

At this time, the surroundings were still completely dark. Batman took off the mouthpiece respirator and waited for a while, and there was another "click" next to his ear. It was guessed that Hai Shaoxia put down the whalebill stork.

Shoebills really don't like the feeling of being immersed in water. When they came in, they opened their nictitating membranes. However, because the water droplets seeped into its eyeballs along the gaps in the corners of its eyes, the stimulation brought by the sea water was very uncomfortable, so it put them in again. The nictitating membrane is closed.

Perhaps it was because he was not sure what the human beings wanted to do. After entering the whale, he stayed in a daze and did not move immediately. He kept his paws retracted and let Hai Shaoxia hold himself in both hands. The whole stork was as quiet as a chicken.

It wasn't until Hai Shaoxia let go that it fell to the ground.

The moment he successfully stepped on the ground, Dazed seemed to take a deep breath and prepare for the action. The next second, he immediately began to dry the action. Starting from the beak, the whole stork worked very hard from head to toe in a roller-style swing, crazy Shake hair.

"Rainwater" threw Hai Shaoxia off, and even Batman, who was three meters away, was not spared.

"Stay." Batman was not happy.

Dadai was not happy anymore, it ran over following the sound, flicking its hair frantically at Batman.

Batman, who hadn't done it before, started dripping water beads from the top of his head again.

Batman:  …

All right, all you have to do is happy.

no temper.

Hai Shaoxia didn't know what he did, and the room finally brightened up. It wasn't the instant lighting of the electric light, but slowly changed from dim to bright. Batman's attention shifted accordingly, and he saw a bright star in the corner. The rounded jewels, should be some kind of magical ability.

Everyone in Atlantis knows magic, and the queen here is a mage, so there is nothing strange about using magic.

Look around again, there are only walls and no doors.

Apparently there was still some procedure that wasn't going on.

"Are there any human mages left?" Batman asked.

Hai Shaoxia: "Doctor Strange. But he's not on our side."

"Where are Constantine and the other mages?"

Knowing that Batman was asking about the Dark Justice League gang, Hai Shaoxia said: "I haven't heard of their whereabouts. It is said that they disappeared before the end of the day. It seems that there was a battle with hell. Constantine, Zatanna, Dr. Fate and other people participated in it, as well as magical people such as Titan Raven, but there was no news about them after that.”

Nothing happened in hell.

Winning should be winning, but I don't know what will happen next.

In theory, Doctor Strange can inquire about the situation of Hell and other dark mages, but for some reason, no matter who asks, Doctor Strange does not say any relevant information.

Saying nothing is fine.

Batman is very familiar with this routine.

As a person who holds time, Doctor Strange knows which option is better and which one is bad. If this person doesn't say anything, it proves that there is actually no problem with the way they are going. All they have to do is stick to it.

Until the next bad choice comes, Doctor Strange will keep silent so as not to interfere with the future.

Guarding all possibilities, waiting for a miracle to come.

"Da." Da Dai made a dry voice.

And a little squishy.

"Hey..."

Pippi made a softer sound.

Just now, Dazed shook his hair so hard that he finally fainted, and there was still a Pipi hanging from the bird's beak.The otter dropped the chain at a critical moment, and didn't think to leave in time, but at the moment when Daidai began to flick his fur, the instinctive reaction prevailed, and under the reflex of nerve conditioning, it could only grab Dadai's beak tightly.

So the whole otter hugged the beak of the whalebill stork with all four limbs, and was led to shake and shake...

Happily being dumped into mosquito-repellent eyes.

Then, due to the weakness of the limbs, it slipped from the beak of the Shoebill, and "baji" fell to the floor, becoming an excellent otter biscuit.

Oh no, this dark appearance seems more like a ball of seaweed.

"Hey..."

Pippi let out a pitiful cry, and stretched out his claws to Hai Shaoxia, trying to seek comfort, but Hai Shaoxia happened not to be looking at it at this time, and was tinkering with a non-special location on the wall of the room.

As he tapped a few times, scanning grid lines radiated from the surroundings, and an energy wave radiated past.

"Prevent someone from being brain-controlled..."

Halfway through Hai Shaoxia's explanation, he found that the grid lines were concentrated on the whalebill stork.

With a shake of his hand, the water whip fell to the ground and entered a fighting state.

"It's okay." Batman raised his hand, signaling him to be calm. "That's Professor X." He paused for a moment, and explained in detail: "He lost his memory."

Hai Shaoxia: "...?"

Hai Shaoxia: "Professor X has passed away for many years."

And it just happened to have amnesia or something, isn't it difficult to even confirm the authenticity of the identity?

"Actually, no. You can ask me in this world if you can get in touch with him."

This is obviously impossible, and Hai Shaoxia feels that this is embarrassing the child, but this matter cannot be discussed in detail with this parallel Batman, he can only look at him silently.

Batman understood, and suggested something else: "Do you have any psychics here?"

It would be a good idea to use a reliable psychic to help identify the authenticity. It would be even better if the Martian Manhunter was there, but obviously the other party must not be there, otherwise Hai Shaoxia would have mentioned it just now.

"Yes, but if the thinking hidden in this bird's brain is really the amnesiac Professor X, it may resist, and the behavior of forcibly exploring has certain dangers." Hai Shaoxia said that he could The information provided, "The psychic currently stationed at Whalefall is Diamond Girl."

The Diamond Girl Hai Shaoxia speaks of is the White Queen who was suspected of being smashed to death in a diamond state in her early years.

The White Queen is a psychic who became famous earlier than Professor X. During the period when Professor X's ability had not yet fully developed, she was really a difficult opponent.

Even if he loses his memory, in Professor X's subconscious mind, there may still be a sense of vigilance and hostility towards the White Queen, and it seems difficult to guarantee that the White Queen will not attack Professor X secretly.

"It's okay, I want to know the truth of the matter, about whether I am 'Professor X'." The strange shadow said in the head of the whalebill stork.

Dadai was still shaking the water, shaking the water, raised his bird paws and scratched his head, seemed particularly uncomfortable. Hearing this sentence, he tilted his head to look at Batman, thought for a while, walked over to grab the bat cloak, Twist.

Batman: ...?

Looking back, he asked, "What?"

He raised his head blankly and motioned in the direction of Hai Shaoxia.

Batman froze, then understood.

"He agreed to it himself?"

Nodding blankly.

"But we don't seem to be able to guarantee his safety."

He tilted his head blankly, then shook his head again.

It means that Professor X doesn't care about this matter.

From the surface of this matter, Professor X, as the patient himself, agreed, and it seems that this matter can be settled, but at the same time, if it is really Professor X, whether the psychic with amnesia is "sound and able to make effective judgments" individual", which itself is debatable.

Hai Shaoxia was silent for a moment, and in the end he could only ask them to wait.

He swiveled the cabinet out of the corner wall, took out a towel wrapped in a tarp, flipped out the panel, and turned on the shower.

"Let's just stay here for a while and simply rinse, let's go in and talk about it. I can't make a decision on this matter."

Perhaps because it was underwater, and the whalebill was a land animal, Hai Shaoxia was not worried about Pippi being alone with him.

"Not afraid of psychic abilities?"

"Pippi's brain is quite special." Hai Shaoxia explained tactfully.

He didn't say anything about the specific situation, and Batman didn't ask, he signaled Daidai to be safe and calm, and helped them adjust the water temperature, and taught it to use the buttons with gestures, making sure that Daidai was fine, so Batman left with Hai Shaoxia .

Dadai stood under the warm water shower, feeling that the gradually condensed crystals in the feathers were being melted smoothly, and Dadai felt relaxed.

Comfortable.

The warm water quickly penetrated the outer layer of feathers, flowing against the skin, taking away the sea water and bringing warmth.

Dadai is not afraid of the cold, but also likes the feeling of warmth.

"Hey~"

Pippi raised his head, indicating that he was also very comfortable.The otter's fur is resistant to water, and it is not afraid of the cold. It also likes cold water, but the otter is not a creature in the sea. It also feels distressed by the condensation of salt crystals, so it is naturally willing to wash it with water.

Soon the water gathered on the floor to form a small puddle, and Pippi rolled in it.

Dazed: ...

Actually rolling on the floor.

Dadai, who was raised by Stark so clean that he could go to bed at any time, silently moved a little to the side, avoiding the water splashed by the otter. It seemed to him that if the water dripped from his body to the ground, it was dirty and could not roll again. up and use.

With this movement, Pippi instantly noticed its disgust.

"Huh?!"

How dare you despise me? !

If Daidai is a carefree little cutie spoiled by Stark and Batman, then Pippi is a lawless little Pippi spoiled by Queen Mela of Atlantis.

And it's the kind that started pampering her from the moment she opened her eyes.

It even dared to pluck hairs on the head of Neptune!

The name "Pippi" was given to Neptune because he couldn't bear the fact that this guy pushes his nose and face every day as a monster.

The full name is "skin monkey".

Looking at the entire Atlantis, looking at the seven oceans, who would dare to dislike Pippi?

No!

there has never been!

Especially when there is a crisis in the world, people have moved to living whales one after another, because people on the surface need Pippi's help if they want to go up and down this layer of seawater. Its ability is not only as simple as supplying oxygen, but also regulating the surrounding water. pressure, to protect fellow human beings from deep sea pressure.

And it won't be detected by any equipment, even if Superman glances over its shield, he will only feel that it is some kind of sea creature swimming past.

So everyone is even more arrogant and indulgent towards it. Even if Pippi is occasionally self-willed, the people around are pampered and spoiled. They are afraid that this little baby will suddenly become unhappy, turn around and quit, or worse, have to bear the pressure from Queen Mela. The fury of thunder.

So, congrats dazed.

This is definitely the first supercilious look Pippi has received from birth to now!

"Bee!" Bite you!

"Boom!" Soup black-bone chicken!

Pippi quit, and uttered a super loud call, almost pointing at the beak of the dumb bird and yelling: Spicy chicken!

The dull feathers were full of water, and they were bald on the body, and the beautiful white edges were lost. It really looked like a black-bone chicken that fell into the water.

But this does not mean that this rambunctious water rat can complain about himself.

Dumbly narrowed his eyes.

He lowered his head and held the otter.

Big fat and long.

When he gets up, he will swing and twist his body.

When they are angry, they bow their waists and hold their heads up and their tails up, which is also very similar to a fish shaking its body, bouncing and bouncing.

Sure enough, this otter looks delicious.

Dazed felt that his heart was moving again.

It opens its mouth.
