Chapter 509: The Steppe Wolf

"Wait, you mean... there are densely populated creatures in the deep sea that suddenly become sparse?"

After asking his doubts, Clark's brain worked rapidly, and then he immediately continued to speak to Downton.

"Tang, we all know that the warrior from Apocalypse is hiding on our Earth, but no one knows where he is hiding.

Originally, I thought he was hiding deep in some rift valley or cave, but now, the place where he is hiding is clearly connected to the deep sea!"

Having said that, Clark clenched his fists.

He wouldn't mind giving those bastards from Apocalypse a hard time!

Compared with his own people who almost invaded the earth, and the generals who also had something to do.

Today, Clark is even more disgusted with Apokolips's intention to invade the Earth and the boundless ambitions hidden on its planet!

With this thought in mind, Clark was even unwilling to wait. He took a step forward and continued to speak solemnly to Downton.

“Let me search the seabed, and continue along the path that Mr. Ao Guang searched not long ago.

I think it won’t be long before I can pull the bastard out of Apocalypse!”

"I agree. The guy who stole the Mother Box is indeed the most dangerous. I plan to act with Clark!"

On the side, Diana stood up decisively and expressed her approval of Clark's actions.

Seeing that their purpose was very clear, Donton nodded slightly, then waved to the people around him and asked with a smile.

“Okay, since they both said so, then our next target will be the clues in the deep sea.

Besides Clark and Diana, is there anyone else going?"

After saying that, Donton's eyes scanned the people around him.

Following the direction that Donton was looking at, the people around him thought for a short while and then gave their own answers.

Xiao Zha shook his head and refused with a smile.

"The seabed is not an environment I am good at, so I won't participate. Besides, my circus is at a critical juncture. We can start work in a week at the latest because the clown I hired is really great!"

"Well, you are indeed not suitable for the underwater environment, so I will go with them."

The Great Zaddan Zamo put his arm around Zatanna's shoulders and gave Clark and Wonder Woman a flattering smile.

“I know you don’t like what I did to Washington and Israel.

Although I personally don't think there is anything wrong with that, I am willing to consider your attitude and make amends for my past behavior to you.

So, let me give you a little help. To me, the seabed is no different from the plain. I can help you."

After he finished speaking, Denzamo let go of Zatanna and stood next to Clark and Wonder Woman.

Looking at the extremely sexy Danzamo, Diana frowned. According to her personality, a guy like Danzamo should die a thousand times.

However, this was Downton's territory after all, so she didn't say anything and just curled her lips at Danzamo.

"Hey, I hope you can help."

"I will, ma'am~"

Danzamo responded with a smile and continued to look at the others.

At the same time, Fiona hesitated for a moment, then stood up with a determined look.

"I'll go as well."

Her words were very brief, but no one would stop him because everyone knew Fiona's abilities.

After adapting to the sunlight on Earth, Fiona, who has many years of combat experience, is probably not even a match for Clark at this time!
Clark was only in his twenties at that time, far from reaching his peak, while Fiona was in her prime and was much stronger than Clark.

After everyone around saw the four of them forming a team, even those who had originally planned to go out and have fun were no longer in the mood.

Floyd just spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Haha, if you four get together, I don't believe anyone can stop you in the sea.

So I'll stay in Gotham and continue to run the Church of the Dead that you assigned to me, and then pick up my daughter from school at 3pm. I'll leave the bastards on Apokolips to you."

“Same, my experiments are still going on, especially the experiments on the demon race.

The problem of Apocalypse is now left to you."

Lex nodded as he spoke, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he continued speaking to Downton.

"By the way, Tang, is the remaining third Mother Box with you or with Diana?

I want to study that thing, he... the kind of sonic boom channel it can open, I'm very interested!"

"I'm here. Wait a moment if you need anything."

Diana rushed to answer Lex's question and then disappeared with a whoosh.

A moment later, she returned to Lex carrying the wooden box hidden in the basement of the manor.

Diana threw the Mother Box to Lex and whispered a warning.

"Be careful. No one knows what other abilities the Mother Box has. Maybe he will bring an entire Apokolips army with him."

"Ha, that's perfect, Tang is still at home anyway.

If the bastards from Apokolips find their way to our Mother Box, let's give them a little shock from humans.

Am I right, Don?

After Lex made a joke, he turned around and left with the Mother Box.

Nothing is more important to him than various experiments.

Since meeting Downton, Lex has been exposed to so many new things that all his scientific research plans have been scheduled for half a year later.

It’s not even finished yet!
The biggest project for Lex and Bruce at the moment, besides mass-producing smart armor, is to dig and develop the basement of the manor as much as possible.

Their goal is to hollow out the entire underground of Gotham, otherwise the laboratory space will not be able to accommodate their numerous scientific research projects.

But Lex had not taken a few steps when he suddenly thought of something, so he stopped abruptly, turned around and walked towards Ao Guang.

Seeing Lex getting closer, Ao Guang felt a little uneasy. Somehow, he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

This was indeed the case. Lex stopped in front of Ao Guang expectantly and said to him with a smile.

"By the way, Mr. Ao Guang, I need a few of your scales. I wonder if you can help me..."

"Sure, take it!"

Without waiting for Lex to finish speaking, Ao Guang quickly plucked off a few scales and handed them over.

While putting the scales in Lex's hand, Ao Guang felt grateful in his heart.

Fortunately, all you want is scales, not dragon roots or dragon essence or something like that!

Seeing that Ao Guang was particularly cooperative, Lai Qinghe was in a good mood, so he took out two watches from his pocket and held Ao Guang's hands to look at them.

"I just remembered that I took some time last night to make a batch of watches with real-time translation capabilities. I thought you might need this."

"Real-time translation?"

Ao Guang was slightly stunned and asked.

"You mean, this thing can make me understand what everyone says?"

"That's right. And not only watches, I also have a few translation patches. As long as you stick them below your throat, everyone can understand what you say~" Lex said as he gave the watch to Ao Guang, and then took out two patches from his pocket.

Holding the patch, he licked his lips and smiled.

"However, my experiment may still require some of your blood. I wonder if you..."

"Cooperation, eh? No need to say more, I have no problem!
Mr. Lex, how much blood do you need? Is one ton enough? "

Ao Guang snatched the patch away and then started to bleed himself.

Hearing this, Lex quickly stopped him.

"You don't need that much, just about 200 milliliters."

As he spoke, Lex raised his hand and pressed it on the chest of the armor, and the armor immediately split apart, freeing up a small container space.

The nanoparticles pushed the beaker out of the container space, and Lex put the beaker into Ao Guang's hands.

It is a good thing to be grateful for something you have received. After Ao Guang received the gift, he cooperated very quickly and filled the beaker with his own blood.

At this point, Lex left with satisfaction, while Ao Guang treated his minor wounds and nodded to the four people who decided to go out.

"If there's nothing else, let's go right away!"

"No problem, let's go."

Clark responded to Ao Guang's words, and then everyone rushed into the sky one by one, following the figures of the two dragons all the way to the distant sea.

Watching the backs of everyone leaving, Donton lay on the sofa with his arms and legs spread out, rubbing his temples out of boredom.

"Tsk tsk, everyone has their own things to do, and I am the one with the least time.

However, I really don't plan to go out today, so just stay at home and keep an eye on Apokolips, lest Darkseid raids my Gotham while I'm away while you're playing.

That being said, it’s pretty fun, haha~”

Accompanied by Downton's laughter, everyone in the manor continued their activities in an orderly manner.

Alfred continued to entertain the mermaid princess from the bottom of the sea, and Martha continued to go to the villa next door with a vegetable garden to take care of the vegetables she had just planted.

Selina lay beside Donton, enjoying the soothing clouds in the sky.

She is indeed a cat-like woman. On nights when she needs to be active, she is clever, cunning and full of energy.

But when she has nothing to do on weekdays, she can stay in one place and bask in the sun quietly for a whole day.

The animals milled about the two of them, but if they had only milled about they would have been fine.

The naughty panda came to Hetong and quietly pulled up Hetong's skirt.

Seeing his skirt being torn by the panda, He Tong frowned, raised his foot and kicked the panda in the face, pushing him aside.

But the panda refused to give in. Even after being pushed away, it quickly came closer again and continued to push hard on Hetong's clothes.

It was not until then that He Tong remembered that he had added bamboo cores to adjust the color when making his fairy clothes!

So, this stupid leopard must have smelled the taste of bamboo flowers!
Thinking of this, He Tong raised his foot in frustration and kicked it directly on the panda's face, pushing him away.

While pushing, she also spoke viciously to the panda.

"You'd better pray that you don't have the wisdom to transform into a human form!"

"Transformation?"

Not far away, Gu Ziyun frowned and quietly came to Hetong's side.

Looking at Donton and the other man who were lying on the sofa in front of Hetong and resting, Gu Ziyun gently pushed Hetong's arm and said with a smile.

"Hey, you just mentioned that you have transformed, so you are a monster, the kind in Chinese legends?"

"It's a demon fairy!"

Although he had only been there for half a day, He Tong had already found out the news about everyone in the manor.

After all, this manor today is as serious as Yuxu Palace to Hetong.

In Hetong's opinion, the so-called cadres of the Ghost Party are no different from the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu.

Anyway, she couldn't go back for a while, and her master and Yuanshi Tianzun didn't come across the world to save her, so she could only try her best to survive in the new world.

With this thought in mind, He Tong memorized the information of everyone in the manor.

Including Gu Ziyun, she knew that the little girl liked to eat corn candy.

So while she answered, she took out two candies from the treasure bag in front of her chest and handed them to Gu Ziyun while greeting them.

Looking at the candy in his hand, Gu Ziyun pursed his lips, pointed tentatively at Hetong's chest, and asked.

"You took it out from there, but you have a very flat chest. Do you have any tricks for hiding things?"

"you……?!!"

He Tong was slightly stunned, then with a flushed face he tore open the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy directly into Gu Ziyun's mouth.

And Gu Ziyun's skill in savoring the flavor of candy.

Outside the manor, in the circus that Zatanna had built a few days ago.

Zatanna is making predictions and adjustments to the circus' future shows.

Arthur the Joker was seen standing in the center of the stage with a difficult look in his eyes, holding the manuscript paper in his trembling hands, and speaking tremblingly to the audience played by the staff led by Zatanna.

“Hi everyone, my name is Arthur, and I’m a…stand-up comedian.

I...I...I..."

After just two sentences, Arthur forgot the words, or he was too nervous to speak, so he couldn't help but look at Zatanna embarrassedly.

Faced with Arthur's poor performance, Zatanna was not angry, but continued to look at the stage with anticipation.

The next moment, fireworks exploded and colored paper fell.

Accompanied by fire and cheers, another clown makes a brilliant appearance!
Jerome made a dashing appearance, bowed to everyone, then walked up to Arthur in a dignified manner, shaking his cane.

"Look guys, guess what I saw?
A truly ridiculous clown is actually wearing clown clothes and playing the clown on the stage. Isn't this a waste of talent?
My clown friend, if you want to tell a good joke, why don't you memorize all the words on the paper, or at least the first few words on the paper.
Let me see what's written on your paper?"

Jerome snatched the manuscript from Arthur and read it quickly.

"Oh, that's a really good joke!"

Jerome said with an exaggerated expression.

"Guess what's written on this piece of paper. It's full of the word Mom said.

Mom said this, mom said that, but your mom said you don’t have the talent to be a clown~"

At this point, Jerome casually stuffed the manuscript back into the nervous Arthur's hands.

Somehow, when the manuscript paper was recovered, Arthur, who was extremely nervous, was shocked all over, bent down suddenly and burst into laughter!
His laughter was shrill and exaggerated, and as he laughed he even revealed a hint of asthma!
This kind of laughter even made Jerome stunned.

Fortunately, Jerome was only stunned for a moment and then continued his performance.

He attaches great importance to his performance because today is the day when Zatanna will choose the final Joker!
Although Jerome didn't think he would lose to Arthur, the mentally ill man, it was precisely because Arthur was a mentally ill man that Jerome would not let his guard down.

While Jerome was flamboyantly performing his clown show, Arthur was laughing uncontrollably and staring at Jerome, who seemed to be glowing, with an inexplicable look in his eyes!

Somehow, watching Jerome's exaggerated performance that was so effortless.

It was as if Arthur saw another version of himself that he had always longed for!
