Chapter 80: The Land of Exile (3rd Recommendation)
Although the group of humanoid creatures with swords and shields had an absolute advantage in numbers, Bucky, who observed carefully, found that most of the humanoid creatures were trembling slightly, and these humanoid creatures seemed to be very afraid of the three of them.
Just as Bucky was puzzled by this, the group of humanoid creatures suddenly gave way to a path, and a humanoid creature more than two meters tall with a horn cut off on its head slowly walked up to Bucky and the three of them with a huge axe.
The tall humanoid creature looked at Bucky condescendingly, and after a moment, said to Bucky in a deep and loud voice, "Asgardians, Asgardians are not welcome here!" ”
The tall humanoid creature spoke English that Bucky understood.
When Bucky heard this, his heart immediately rejoiced. This person who doesn't know what race he mistakes for an Asgardian, then this place should also belong to the scope of the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms, there should be many ways to return to Earth, and the worst can also use the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard, although Odin's old stubbornness may not necessarily lend it to him, but there is finally a hope, isn't it.
Bucky was secretly happy in his heart, and a slight smile appeared on his face, looking at the tall humanoid creature, this was undoubtedly disdain and ridicule for himself, which immediately made this muscular, not very brainy creature angry, and no longer waited for Bucky's reply, the giant axe dragged on the ground was lifted high and slashed at Bucky.
Although he was surprised by this guy's undeclared battle, how could Bucky be hit by such an attack that had no moves at all, although he had strength but no speed, and turned sideways, and the giant axe slashed into the ground less than twenty centimeters to his left.
Without waiting for the other party to withdraw the giant axe, Bucky's left hand pressed on the handle of the giant axe, and as soon as his mind moved, his left arm and armor emitted a powerful force, and no matter how hard the humanoid creature was stronger than a bull, he could not lift his giant axe.
"Damn Asgardian, let go of your hand, you have the ability to let Henrietta get the axe back, and then split the victory with Henrietta!" The inability to retrieve his great axe made the humanoid named Henrietta even more angry, and he yelled at Bucky as he tried to retrieve it with all his might.
Although he doesn't know what race of people surrounds him, Bucky is basically certain that the IQ of this race is probably not high, and the Henrietta in front of him is obviously an example.
However, in terms of strength alone, this Henrietta is very powerful, if Bucky's left arm is not equipped with armor that can increase strength, it is really hard to say whether Bucky's own strength alone can defeat this Henrietta.
"Henrietta yes, calm down, we're not Asgardians, we're Midgardians, a failed spatial teleportation brought us here, and we have no ill will."
As he spoke, Bucky let go of his left hand holding Henrietta's axe and took a step back, once again showing him that he had no ill intentions.
"Midgard, Henrietta has never heard of Midgard, dare to lie to my Asgardians, eat me again!"
Henrietta didn't let Bucky's forbearance give in, and after retrieving the great axe, he attacked Bucky again.
"Damn! I don't know what to do! ”
At this point, Bucky also knew that unless he defeated the giant man in front of him, who was more than two meters tall, there was no way to negotiate peacefully.
Fortunately, this kind of reckless man who only has brute force, Bucky is not easy to deal with. After easily dodging Henrietta's giant axe attack, Bucky dodged and went directly behind Henrietta, and with a knife in the back of his neck, the giant man with a full head and muscles threw himself into the street.
Henrietta was supposed to be the leader of this group, and seeing that his own leader did not make a move in the hands of this self-proclaimed Midgardian, the other humanoid creatures with swords and shields all took a step back, and the fear in their eyes was even stronger.
After defeating Henrietta, Bucky did not strike again, with his eyesight, how could he not see that Henrietta's subordinates were a rabble, and there was no need to defeat them at all.
Tony, who had just been frightened by this rabble, stepped forward and asked Bucky suspiciously, "Why is English spoken here?" And what are you talking about Asgard and Midgard? ”
Not only Tony, but Gordon, who had always pretended to be cool, also pricked up his ears and waited for Bucky's reply.
"I'll talk about this later, I'll figure out our planet first." After sending Tony away, Bucky looked back at the rest of the people and asked, "Who else among you can call the shots?" ”
Henrietta's men rioted, but none of them stood up to answer. Finally, just as Bucky was waiting a little impatiently, an old man with a wrinkled face on crutches stepped forward, bowed slightly to Bucky, and said, "Hello, Midgardians from afar, I, the Two-Horned Patriarch, Nehmea, welcome Your Excellency. ”
Finally came a man who didn't rely on muscles to speak, and Bucky was happy in his heart, as long as he could negotiate, what he was most afraid of was that he could only use force.
Bucky also bowed slightly, giving the two-horned patriarch due courtesy, and then said: "Hello, Patriarch Nehmeyah, the three of us are travelers from Midgard, who strayed into this place during a failed spatial teleportation, and would like to ask you about the way to return to Midgard. ”
"Return to Midgard?" Nehemiah pondered for a moment, then shook his head, and then said, "Our clan is not far from here, so why don't you three return to your clan with me first, and then I will tell you the details of Axel." ”
Bucky hesitated for a moment, and then agreed to Nehemeyah's invitation, this two-horned tribe does not seem to have too strong combat power, and there should be no danger in returning to the clan land with this group of two-horned people. However, Bucky still whispered to Gordon to secretly write down the coordinates here, and once he encountered danger in the Two-Horned Clan, he could also escape in an instant with Gordon's ability. Gordon, who was already a grasshopper on a rope with Bucky, naturally nodded in agreement, and on this strange planet, he could only trust Bucky and Tony, who were also earthlings.
Back in the land of the Horned Clan, the Nehemeyeh patriarch did not play any tricks, and introduced the planet to Bucky and others in a wooden house.
Through the introduction of the Nehmaiah patriarch, Bucky learned that this planet, known as Axel, was actually a place of exile.
Xcel is a small planet, located on the edge of the World Tree, far from the Nine Divine Kingdoms. Thousands of years ago, there was no intelligent life on Xcel, and the father of Odin, the master of Asgard and the current master of Asgard, discovered this uninhabited planet and established him as a place of exile. In the kingdom ruled by Asgard, many of those who have committed serious crimes but are not guilty of death will be exiled to this planet.
And this two-horned tribe has hearing far beyond that of ordinary races, and it is precisely for this reason that the three of Bucky will be found and surrounded by two-horned people in the jungle.
More than a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Two-Horned Tribes in the Exiled Lands were members of an interstellar pirate group that crisscrossed the Nine Divine Kingdoms, and at that time, the best hearing of the Two-Horned Clan, even being able to hear sounds from tens of thousands of kilometers away, was better than the detection effect of radar. Under the attack of the Asgardian army led by Odin, the entire pirate group was wiped out, and only a few Horns survived and were sent to the Exiled Lands, where they slowly evolved into the current Horns tribe.
After listening to the introduction of the Nehmaia patriarch, Bucky couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, this place of exile is obviously a large prison, and it is not allowed to enter or exit, although it is still within the scope of the World Tree, but there is no way to go to the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms here, and it is really not easy to return to the earth.
Seeing the look of disappointment on Bucky's face, Nehemiah comforted, "Life in this exile is a bit harder, but it can be said that there is no dispute with the world, and Mr. Barnes can stay with my Horns for the time being, and then find a way to return to Midgard." ”
Bucky had no choice but to do this for the time being, and he had to explain the general situation here to Tony and Gordon, in the conversation with the patriarch of Nehmayah just now, it was the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms and Midgard's, and Tony and Gordon obviously didn't understand.
Under Nehmeyah's leadership, the three of Bucki temporarily lived in a wooden house in the Two-Horned Clan, although the wooden house was simple, but it was good to have a place to live, and this wooden house was also a three-bedroom apartment, and the three of Bucki were divided into their own rooms.
After Chief Nehmaiah took his leave, in the living room of the cabin, Bucky told Tony and Gordon about the situation he was facing, and explained the terms Asgard, Midgard, and so on.
When he learned that he and the others were on the remote planet of the Exiled Lands, even if he was as smart as Tony, he couldn't do anything, and he could only take one step at a time for the time being.
It was night, Bucky and the three of them rested early, after a day of tossing, Bucky was already exhausted, after washing the rat blood on his body, Bucky changed into the linen clothes provided by Nehmiah to the three of them, and soon entered the state of visualizing the universe map, this method of visualization can restore the lost mental and physical strength more than sleep, and it is the best choice for rest.
But before Bucky could actually get into shape, there was a slight knock on the door. Bucky, who was a little strange, stopped thinking and opened the door to see that it was Tony.
"It's not like I'm sleepless, but I'm sorry, I'm not doing it!" Standing in the doorway, Bucky quipped with a smile.
It's just that Tony's face was very solemn, and he stared at Bucky for a while before he said, "I have something very important to ask you, and I hope you can tell me the truth." ”
