Druid’s Marvel Travels

Chapter 11 Getting along

When Banner saw Oakes use natural magic to quickly spawn a large sapling, he almost transformed again.

"Is this the Druid?"

Banner pointed to a large area of ​​green saplings in front of him, dancing with his hands and feet:

"Are the Celtic myths true?"

"Experimental accident, just an experimental accident, but the abilities are indeed very similar.

Maybe I should go back to Ireland and maybe find something. "

Oakes coughed lightly, hooked his fingers, and a thin vine rose from Banner's feet, wrapping his feet and weaving them into a pair of rattan shoes.

"Although the comfort level is a bit poor, at least it's much better than your bare feet, right?"

Banner was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily:

"Sure enough, science has no boundaries. You are really lucky, Oakes, to have the power that you can fully control."

He has to believe it if he doesn't believe it, because he can't explain it.

Just like he couldn't explain the Hulk.

"Uh... how do we get out? How far is it from human cities?"

In Hulk form, Banner knew that he would arrive near human settlements with abnormal speed and strength before transforming back.

But now, even if Oakes can turn into a bird, he can't lead people...

Huh? If he turns into a leopard, he can ride it by himself, and the speed will not be slow, right?

"Dr. Banner, are you thinking of something impolite?"

The corners of Oakes' mouth twitched, and he knew the gleam in Banner's eyes at a glance.

Don't think about it, there is no way, goodbye!

Nobody wants to ride a noble druid!

"We're going out by boat."

Oakes waved his hands, and a large pile of thick vines grew out, quickly forming a crude hull.

Then, the vine quickly hardened, and Banner went up to pull it, but it couldn't be pulled at all. The hardness of this thing was comparable to a log.

"It's really a convenient ability, just like in the cartoon."

"It's just easier to use in the forest, but it can't be so casual outside."

Oakes shrugged, turned into a bear form, pulled the long vines in front of the rattan boat and dragged it to the river not far away, and Banner followed.

"Aw--"

Oakes's voice almost scared Banner green. After a while, he saw the water surface rippling, and half of his head came out of the water.

"Crocodile!"

Banner pressed his heart hard, and Oakes called out a crocodile?

The huge brown bear that Oakes turned into looked at the crocodile for a while. The crocodile slowly swam to the front of the rattan boat, opened its mouth wide and bit the dragging vine, and looked back at them.

"Come on, Dr. Banner."

Oakes changed back into human form, jumped on the rattan boat, and called Banner:

"With this caiman pulling the boat, we should be able to reach a human city at night—you don't want to spend the night in the rainforest."

"..."

Cautiously, Banner jumped into the rattan boat, numb to the effects of Oakes' so-called "experimental accident."

Can you still order the beast? Whatever you say is what it is.

"Set off!"

...

Caimans are indeed very fast swimmers, and they reach their destination before the sun goes down.

This is where Oaks expresses experimental equipment, a paradise for adventure lovers, located in the hinterland of the Amazon rainforest, the largest city in the Amazon River Basin, and the capital of the Brazilian Amazon River State, Manaus.

"Aha, there are factories of Nokia and Siemens here, and there is a duty-free zone, which is really good."

Finally returning to human society, Banner is in a good mood, especially with Oakes around, he doesn't have to worry about going crazy and transforming at any time.

"I have been here a few times, but this is a free trade zone in Brazil. If you want to hide your identity, this is not a good place."

Now Oakes and Banner came to the hotel that Oakes reserved, took a beautiful bath and changed clothes to fill their stomachs, and took Oakes' experimental equipment back.

After three days of testing, they finally had some clues about Banner's blood.

"Dr. Banner, what do you think of Hulk's existence?"

After using pure plant essence and natural magic to try to purify Banner's blood, Oakes found that Banner's blood cells were indeed inhibited in activity.

After the force of nature is exhausted, although the blood activity will return, it is calmer than it was at the beginning.

But this is limited to cases where the blood is outside the body.

They also tried injection and oral administration. The effects of the two methods are similar, the difference is the speed of the effect, but the common point is that after the natural force contained in the medicine is exhausted, the blood activity will quickly return to its original state.

"Have you ever thought about taking control of this state?"

"I want to eliminate him! Not control!"

Banner was happily looking at his purified blood sample under the microscope, and blurted out without thinking:

"He has brought me too much misfortune!"

"But based on the current research, I can tell you with certainty that Hulk is an independent consciousness different from Bruce Banner."

Oakes shrugged. Now Banner is very resistant to Hulk, but there is no way to do it.

Who told Hulk to hurt his girlfriend, Dr. Betty, and his father-in-law, General Ross, has always coveted Hulk's power and never gave up hunting him.

"As for the abnormalities at the blood level, I can find a way to help you suppress them. The most you can do is to drink more of the special potion I prepared, but for the independent personality consciousness at the spiritual level, you still need to solve it yourself."

Seeing Banner's complexion becoming helpless as the power of nature in the observation sample was exhausted, Oakes took out a large bottle of emerald green potion and handed it to Banner:

"Dr. Banner, when your blood is in the body, there is an incentive to guide them to quickly recover their activity. I think that is Hulk's hidden consciousness——

It's as if the subconscious mind of the human brain is completing breathing, heartbeat and metabolism. "

Banner sighed, took his eyes away from the microscope, and took Oakes' potion:

"I'm also aware of this, but I really can't accept the coexistence of him and me for the time being!"

"Perhaps these potions can allow you to carefully experience the state of coexistence in a peaceful state.

I can't stay here for too long, I have a trainee clerk in my store who doesn't know how to restock things when they run out. "

Made a little joke, Oakes smiled and patted Banner's arm:

"You take a bottle cap of these medicines every day, and they should be able to continuously suppress your blood activity.

But if you encounter extreme situations, such as life-threatening, Hulk will still run out by himself. "

"Ha, the subconscious mind for self-preservation."

Banner shrugged and said with emotion:

"When I fled to the Arctic Circle before, I tried to kill myself by swallowing a gun in desperation, and Hulk came out immediately and spat out the bullet.

Since then, I have vaguely realized it... It's just that I have never been reconciled. "

"Thank you, Oakes...you gave me new hope!"

Banner looked at Oakes seriously, stood up and bowed solemnly to him:

"I think I should seriously consider the mode of getting along with Hulk again."
