Chapter 30: The Saber-Toothed Tiger

Looking at the person walking towards him, the gradually lengthening nails made Bucky immediately recognize him, it was the saber-toothed tiger Victor, who was also Logan's half-brother.

Victor fought with Logan in the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam War, ......

Countless battles have made Logan tired of this life and choose to leave and live a peaceful life without killing. Victor, on the other hand, fell in love with killing, with the feeling of life passing through his hands.

And now, Bucky's appearance has once again aroused the murderous intent in Victor's heart.

Bucky didn't expect that he would be alert just by glancing at Victor from a distance, this is a perception ability that can only be honed after countless battles, even if Bucky has improved a lot of mental power by visualizing the universe map, he is far from being able to do Victor now.

"It's worthy of the saber-toothed tiger Victor, who really has the instincts of a beast!"

Now that he had been discovered, Bucky no longer hid his form, and stepped out from behind a stone wall to face Victor.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that the stranger in front of him actually knew him, and even called the nickname Sabertooth Tiger, Victor felt a little strange, he had always been careful to hide his identity, and most of the people who knew his mutant identity had been killed by him or sent to Colonel Stryker's laboratory.

"I'm here to collect the debts, yes, to collect the debts. I've got an old Stryker account to settle with him, so let's see if he's still here. Bucky spread his hands and replied with a nonchalant expression.

Hearing this answer, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Victor's mouth, he laughed twice, and then said: "It's a pity, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to collect that account!" ”

With that, Bucky saw that Victor's already long nails had grown a little longer again, and then he pounced on Bucky.

Watching Victor fight directly, Bucky didn't feel any surprise, this guy was originally a battle maniac, a murderer, and since the moment he found out, Bucky was ready to fight.

Like a predatory cheetah, Victor landed on all fours, moving left and right, making it difficult for Bucky to judge which direction he would attack from, so he could only watch Victor's actions with all his attention.

It's on the left!

When Victor was less than a meter away from Bucky, he suddenly jumped from Bucky's right side, came to Bucky's left rear like lightning, and grabbed Bucky's left rib with his five fingers like a hook.

If he is hit by the claws that can easily tear through the iron skin, Bucky is sure that his ribs will definitely be broken, and although he can recover, he will not want to use all his strength in the next few minutes.

Bucky squatted slightly, his left shoulder went straight to Victor's claws, and the next moment, Bucky's shoulder was scratched by Victor with five deep scars that could be seen in the bone. Of course, Bucky didn't suffer either, and when Victor's claws hit him, the dagger in his right hand also pierced a hole in Victor's abdomen, and Bucky believed that Victor would definitely not feel good about this blow.

The two fought hard, and after being hurt, they both jumped back and distanced themselves from each other.

"I can heal myself!" Victor said as he looked at Bucky triumphantly.

After saying that, Victor ripped off his shirt, revealing the wound on his abdomen, which was already slowly healing, and believed that it would not take a minute for the wound to recover without even a scar.

Of course, Bucky knew that Victor could heal himself, and just now he was just testing Victor's strength, and it turned out that Victor was worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield who fought countless battles of all sizes, although he only had healing ability and sharp nails, but his speed was far beyond the normal number of times, a few points faster than Bucky, and he was more experienced in the enemy, and his moves were more ruthless, and he was definitely a difficult opponent.

"Yes, you can heal yourself, good ability! But you don't know, I can heal myself! ”

Bucky chuckled twice and ripped the clothes off his left shoulder, revealing his healing shoulder.

Victor's pupils contracted suddenly, and this was the first time he had seen anyone other than himself and Logan, who had the ability to heal themselves. Victor was very aware of the damage his claws could inflict, and looking at Bucky, who had already healed most of his self, he found that he was even a little weaker when it came to self-healing ability.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Bucky Barnes, the one who wants to get Stryker in trouble." Barky paused, gave Victor a deep look, and continued, "Victor, do you really think Stryker will abide by your agreement?" Also, do you really want to kill your brother Logan at all costs? ”

Victor was stunned by these two questions, and made him stand there in deep thought.

Victor had been working with Stryker for many years, and he knew Stryker as a person, and Stryker was the kind of guy who would do anything to do anything for his experiments. But he also knew that Stryker was definitely not a man who kept his promises, and that he wouldn't mind using fraud, deception, or threats as long as it could help his experiments.

Victor knew that he would be of great help to Stryker right now, so Stryker would fulfill all of his demands, including agreeing to give himself a chance to become stronger if he was able to take on the experiment. However, if he is useless to Stryker by then, Victor knows that Stryker will definitely give up on himself like garbage, and even like the mutants who were captured by him, he will lock himself in a cage and become the material for experiments.

But Victor doesn't care, as long as there is an opportunity to become stronger, he will definitely seize it, and he doesn't care about the risks at all, in a sense, Victor is already a madman.

As for Logan, Victor doesn't know what kind of feelings he has for Logan. They have been brothers for almost 150 years, from the Civil War to the two world wars to the Vietnam War, they have experienced it together, and they are brothers who can give their backs to each other. However, six years ago, Logan got tired of killing and left Victor, which made Victor feel betrayed, deeply betrayed.

But to ask Victor if he had to kill Logan, even he himself couldn't answer the question, and perhaps only when his own claws pierced Logan's throat would he know the answer.

"What's your business!"

Victor's voice was cold, and Bucky's two questions were deliberately avoided by him, and being asked by Bucky made Victor, who had always been grumpy, even more impulsive to kill. However, Victor also knew how difficult it was to kill a person with self-healing abilities, not to mention that this person's self-healing ability was a little stronger than his own, and he was not sure that he could kill Bucky.

"Of course it's none of my business, as long as you don't stop me when I break Stryker's neck, it's none of my business." Bucky smiled lightly and added, "Oh yes, if Logan wants to kill Stryker, you don't have to stop it, I just don't care who that Stryker guy is not causing trouble for me, and I don't care who he dies at!" ”

Victor snorted coldly and said, "Then you will know if I will stop you, remember, don't go against me again, or I will definitely tear you to pieces!" ”

With that, Victor turned and left, disappearing into the forest in a few leaps.

Looking at Victor's vanishing figure, Bucky also began to think.

Victor is not willing to fight to the death with Bucky, and similarly, Bucky does not want to clash with Victor. In Bucky's opinion, Victor is just a guy who has lost himself and is used by Stryker, but this guy is powerful, and with Bucky's current strength, he doesn't dare to say that he will definitely be able to beat Victor.

That's why Bucky asked those two questions just now. These two questions are directed at Victor's heart, and if Victor can really give himself an answer with his heart, Bucky believes that he will not be on Stryker's side, at least when Logan and Stryker are confronted, he will not help Stryker.

Moving his shoulder, Bucky found that the five deep bone-deep scratches just now had completely recovered, leaving not even a trace of scarring, and nodded with satisfaction. Although the battle with Victor just now didn't make much noise, if there were still Stryker's men stationed here, he would definitely not sit idly by just now, and Bucky is sure that this stronghold has been temporarily abandoned by Stryker.

Now that it's been abandoned, Stryker is definitely not here, and Vanessa, who needs to be rescued, won't be here, and Bucky has no need to continue exploring. Aside from a fight with Victor and a stake between Victor and Stryker, Bucky had nothing else to gain from his trip.

Back in the nearby town, Bucky found a quiet coffee shop and sat down, thinking about his next steps.

What Bucky needs now is to get the location of Stryker's other stronghold, although he recalled it for a long time, but Bucky still couldn't remember the name of the island in the movie in his previous life, and now the people who know the location of that island, I'm afraid that in addition to the people on Stryker's side, there is only the Pai King who once escaped from there, but unfortunately the location of the King doesn't know either.

"It looks like I need to ask Professor X to help me find the Poker King." Bucky is confident that Professor X will not refuse to help in order to save the mutants.

Taking out his phone, Bucky suddenly felt in his heart, since he needed to find someone, why not just find the mutant who was imprisoned by Stryker on that island.

Although there are a lot of mutants now, Bucky believes that there will not be so many mutants gathered anywhere other than Xavier School, not to mention that Bucky also knows that the future Laser-Eyed Scott Samos should also be locked up on that island now, and with this information, Professor X will definitely be able to find the location of that island.
