The Death Knell

Zawadi had taken care of the lizard. She had hunted a lot when she was in Wakanda, but she had never seen a lizard with such strong leather and muscles.

She had some doubts about whether this thing could be bitten after it was cooked, but the Druid only caught this when he went hunting. Even if it was difficult to swallow, at least the portion was enough.

Zawadi was wearing a red cloth dress representing the Royal Guards of Wakanda when she arrived, but the fabric had long been torn. She later peeled off a piece of leopard skin and wore it on her body, and paired with her dark skin and strong arms, she looked like a The appearance of a barbarian war goddess.

She is actually quite pretty and has a cheerful personality. As soon as I see her, I know that she is the kind of pure man who can run a horse on his arm and stand on his shoulder.

"Okay, put it next to the fire, bake it for a while and then you can eat it."

She piled the chopped lizard tails and pieces of meat on the stones beside the fire pit, wiped her bloody hands on her body, and cheered up.

She was hit in the head by a stone thrown by a savage in the previous battle. She now has some symptoms of concussion. She is fine when sitting, but is dizzy when she stands up.

The druid said with some shame: "It's all my fault. I'm not good at learning and I've embarrassed Master Gu Yi. I only caught such small things, so let's eat some for now. If it's not enough, I'll look for bigger prey." "

Ulysses was leaning against the rock wall on the opposite side. His thigh was wrapped with a piece of soft bark that oozed blood. The medicine had long been used up. The druid had to use local herbs instead of bandages to bandage him. Perhaps it was an infection caused by optimism. Looking at him, a smile appeared on Ulysses' pale face, and his dry lips moved.

"No, it's good enough. I can't let the Archmage go deep into the forest alone without protection. It's too risky."

Half-lying next to Zawadi was Namora. She was a little dazed at this time. As an Atlantean, even though she was very powerful and had developed the unique ability to replace seawater with fresh water, she still Don't stay out of the water for long periods of time.

Everyone brought some drinking water with them when they fled, but it was definitely not enough for her to take a bath, so she fell into severe dehydration symptoms, such as confusion, babble, etc.

This is an Atlantean disease, and the druids don't know how to treat it. They can only feed her water regularly, which is a life-threatening situation.

The name Namora may sound unfamiliar, but her cousin is Namor, the king of Atlantis, so she is actually a princess and a pure-blooded Atlantean.

Different from her cousin's schizophrenic personality, she is a calm and simple girl. Her biggest hobby in the past was playing synchronized swimming with dolphins.

For a while, she was very curious about the land and wanted to know about the life of the people on the land. Because every time her cousin came back from the land, his personality would change drastically or he would be seriously injured. She couldn't help but be curious.

As a result, after she had been preparing for a long time, when she secretly headed to land for the first time, she attracted unnecessary attention because of the language barrier and her luxurious clothes. The CIA thought she was a foreign spy and was arrested on the spot...

The CIA is not only responsible for doing dirty work abroad, but also oversees domestic counterintelligence activities.

Fortunately, the person who captured her was not a mad scientist, but Jimmy Wu, a triple agent who had infiltrated the CIA. As a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he naturally knew about Namor and was observing Namora's appearance, clothing and behavior. Finally, he recognized her Atlantean identity and immediately hatched a plan.

He used comic strips to express the traditional friendship between the United States and Atlantis to the princess. He drew Captain America and Namor. The two shook hands and then beat Nazi together. Everyone in the painting smiled happily.

Although she didn't understand the language, she could understand the paintings. She quickly had an equation in her little mind, that is, the Stars and Stripes equals friends.

So Namora also smiled, it turned out that she was one of her own.

So within a few days, she was tricked into joining the "Sector Zero" team of super soldiers formed by Jimmy, and was dragged to Mongolia to fight the dictator Golden Claw. While fighting, she learned human language and other courses.

A few years later, with the defeat of Golden Claw, Atlas Enterprise was disbanded, and Department Zero was also disbanded. Namora, who had nothing to do and was accustomed to human life, had no intention of returning to Atlantis.

After all, the city in the deep sea was pitch black, and Namotian sat silently on the throne like a ghost. From time to time, he would grind his teeth and curse or cry secretly. The scene was chilling.

The headquarters of the CIA, Langley, is located in Virginia, and Namora naturally lives there as a non-staff agent.

The climate there is pleasant, the water and soil are mild, and grapes and other delicious fruits are abundant there. Only a fool would return to Atlantis because he would be bored to death by eating fish every day.

So she semi-retired and lived there in seclusion. She also used her bonuses and wages from previous years to buy a small house to live in, and lived a very leisurely life.

Until one day Fury learned about the wilderness continent. He contacted Ulysses through some channels and persuaded Howard to let SHIELD pay to hire the most famous explorer in the United States to explore.

The treasure found will be allocated to Ulysses, but the technology or special materials will belong to S.H.I.E.L.D.

The deal was negotiated, and then Fury decided to place a hidden stake in the team to monitor Ulysses because of his agent habits, so he secretly contacted Jimmy and asked Jimmy to send Namora to beat Art in the name of the CIA. Landis' flag joins the team.

Jimmy was Namora's first 'friend' in human society, and she was a superior who was very good to her in the past, so she agreed without thinking.

So I was tricked...

As for the last person in the team, Makari, who loves to wear a red jumpsuit, took the initiative to find Ulysses. He did not reveal his identity as an Eternal, but only joined as a powerful street vigilante, saying that he was Going on an adventure.

No one knows what his true purpose is, but Makari is indeed a superhero and has a good reputation in the past. Ulysses accepted him as the team's strongest human shield.

As an Eternal, Makari's physical fitness is no different from that of the second-generation gods. Not only can he withstand beatings, but he can also heal himself at a high speed. He can fly, shoot energy beams from his hands, lift over a hundred tons, and is also a speedster.

It's just that his speed ability is not very stable, as if it is malfunctioning, always hovering between zero and Mach 3.

After activating the speed ability, when he is in good condition, he is so fast that mortals cannot see him. When he is in bad condition, he can only raise his legs in place, but cannot move an inch.

After entering the barbaric continent, his condition has been bad, as if he was restricted by invisible things. Many times when he went wrong, he relied on Ulysses' shotgun to save him.

Without speed, he was suddenly reduced to a mere human shield. He could only stand at the front of the team and receive the most severe beatings. He was also the most seriously injured at this time.

If it weren't for his self-healing ability, he would be a dead man now, but even so, he was punched through the chest by the cosmic energy spit out by the dinosaur, and it still took him a long time to recover, and he was in a comatose state at this time. .

"Wakanda will not come to me. Maybe they will think that I failed to travel and exercise and died outside." The black girl turned over the barbecue. They didn't even have salt, so they could only rely on the salt on the stone. taste.

Ulysses also smiled bitterly: "Nick Fury tricked me to death, waiting for him to save me? By then I might be the contents of the savage's intestines."

Namora, who was lying down, opened her mouth like a goldfish: "Oh! No, I can't eat anymore..."

The druid was silent for a moment. He picked up a small wooden stick and turned over the charcoal. Tiny sparks flew into the air: "It is possible that Kama Taj will come to me, but I hope they don't come. This is a prison. Once If you come in, you may not be able to leave...wait, magic communication? Who is it?"

Following the magic and mental power emanating from the other party, the druid drove his remaining magic power to activate the projection magic, and suddenly the image of a middle-aged man with a mustache dressed in a very naughty manner appeared in front of him.
