On a clear afternoon in the South Island of New Zealand, the sun shines on the sparkling Lake Itiou. The huge lake is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and trees.

The beautiful natural scenery of the South Island is like a fairyland on earth, and birds of unknown species fly across the snow-capped mountains.

A yellow bus was driving outside the virgin forest beside Itio Lake. Since the terrain is on the mountainside, the entire lake can be clearly seen here.

In the carriage, the uncle tour guide wearing a sun visor patted his loudspeaker before lifting it up and placing it near his mouth.

"The lake in front of us now is one of the most famous lakes in the South Island." He said, "You can take more photos."

In front of him was a whole car of tourists from the United States.Some of them are urban white-collar workers, some are old women on the farm, and some are students who have just entered high school.Even though they have seen many beautiful lakes in New Zealand before, Americans still take out their mobile phones to take pictures with great face-even when they look through their mobile phone photo albums, they may not be able to tell which lake is which.

"This lake has a beautiful name, Itiou." The tour guide leaned his elbows against the back of the chair and looked at the foreign tourists. "Do you know why this lake has a little girl's name?"

The adults looked at each other in blank dismay, and several high school students in yellow uniforms raised their hands near the front row.

"We know! We just participated in a quiz!" A Hispanic girl said, "Because there is a legend about this lake. According to the legend, it used to be the home of elves..."

"Yes, that's true." The uncle didn't expect someone to answer, so he hurriedly said, "There are many myths and legends in New Zealand. One of the myths is that this world used to be a place where different species lived together."

"It's like World of Warcraft!" Ned, a fat Asian man, said excitedly. "There are elves, there are humans, there are orcs, and there are shamans, right?"

"Uh, this is actually a very traditional Western fantasy myth, more traditional than games." The uncle tour guide said helplessly.

He cleared his throat before continuing,

"According to the legend, one of the branches of the elves once lived here. These elves love nature, are peaceful in nature, and have a good relationship with humans. But one day, the sleeping ancient monster woke up, and this terrible monster decided to Devour the entire world. The righteous races unite to fight against it and other dark species, but the war has continued for decades and is still not over, and the world is in danger of destruction."

"At this moment, among the elves living here, the youngest daughter of the elf king decided to meet the ancient monster and seek reconciliation. Unexpectedly, the monster fell in love with her appearance at first sight and made a request—it wanted the elf princess to be with her. It fell into a deep sleep together again, and she would not give up until she gave it her best age."

"All the elves in the elves are opposed to such a reconciliation, but the elf princess still agreed. She gave 1000 years of her adulthood to the monster, turned into a little girl, and fell asleep with the monster." The guide smiled. , "According to the legend, she slept by the lake and turned into a tree. So people in later generations will name her on the lake as a commemoration."

"Wow." The American tourists exclaimed.

"By the way, take a closer look at the lake. There is an ancient tree there. Its roots are like a girl lying on her arms." The uncle said, "Some people say that this tree was transformed from Itiou in the legend."

Everyone immediately looked to the left of the bus curiously, but they could only see the lush virgin forest and the lake.

"Put your car in there, guide!" someone said, "you can't see anything like that."

"No, you can't drive." The tour guide also said helplessly, "The forest around the lake is a restricted area, and if you enter rashly, you will be wanted by the police."

"why?"

"Uh--I don't know about this. Some people say that this is to protect the animals in this primeval forest, or that there is a secret base in this forest." The tour guide shrugged his shoulders, "It's just that you can't go in anyway. It's been closed for years, it's been like this since I was born."

There was a sigh of disappointment from the tourists.

"However! Let me tell you the ending of this legend, you will be very interested!" The tour guide cleared his throat and said excitedly, "It is said that the elf princess will wake up on the night of the full moon after 7000 years, and this year, It is 7000 years later in the legend!"

"Guide, you didn't make this up, did you?"

"Yeah, otherwise why don't you let us see that maiden tree..."

Just as the car was noisy, the fat Asian man in a yellow uniform put down his binoculars.

"Can't see anything at all," he said disappointedly. "Peter, what can you do?"

Inside the little fat man sat a brown-haired white boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old by the car window.Hearing what the little fat man said, he unzipped the zipper of his backpack on his lap and took out a white spotting telescope full of technology.

Peter Parker held the binoculars in one hand, and manipulated a flat screen the size of one palm on the other.

"Karen, can you search for the tree the guide mentioned?" he whispered.

[Happy to oblige. ] A mature and moving female voice rang through the wireless headset in Peter's left ear.

Fatty Asians—Ned and Peter looked at the flat screen intently, and saw countless green trees skipping across the screen, and finally, the picture stopped.

The two boys gasped.

"My God," murmured Ned, "the root of this tree really looks like a girl."

On the screen, an ancient tree that is bigger than other trees stands not far from Itio Lake. It is surrounded by open space and enjoys the sunlight alone—it seems that when other trees grow, they deliberately bypass it. took it.

The trunk of this tree is so thick that several adults can't hold it with open arms, and it seems to be really old.Under the thick trunk, the roots are coiled and connected, and the appearance of a girl lying on her arms with her pillow on her head is clearly visible. It seems that the roots of her long hair run down the 'back' and plunge into the ground.

Click.

Peter came back to his senses and saw Ned holding up his phone and taking a picture of the screen.

"But I always feel that this tree can't be artificially carved, right?" Ned rubbed his double chin, a little disbelieving, "Otherwise, how can a normal growing tree have such strange roots?"

"That's why it's an attraction." Peter shrugged.

"That's right, even the world in ancient mythology is in danger of destruction. I don't know if there were superheroes at that time."

While Ned was still thinking, Peter's cell phone rang.He took out his phone from his bag and looked at the screen - it was Tony Stark!Peter immediately connected the phone in a hurry.

"Hey, Mr. Stark! I'm fine, I'm not busy, although I'm traveling in New Zealand, but if you need me, I can go back now, I——!"

"Peter, Peter!" Tony called his name twice before stopping the overzealous young man.The man said helplessly, "I know you are traveling in New Zealand."

"right……"

As long as Peter was with Karen and the suit, Tony would naturally know his location.

"I didn't call you to ask you to go on a mission." Tony said, "Recently, some Hydra remnants went to New Zealand, please pay attention..."

"And capture them!" Peter said excitedly.

"And get away from them," Tony said.

"How? Then who wants to protect the poor people of New Zealand?" Peter muttered, "New Zealand doesn't even have a hero."

"You remember James Barnes, The Winter Soldier?" Tony said. "He's in New Zealand too, so don't worry, he'll figure it out."

"The hero with the iron arm at the airport?" Peter said excitedly. "His iron arm is super cool! ... But why is he in New Zealand?"

Tony sighed.

"There's too much going on in the middle, kids don't care about it," he said. "Just know he'll take care of it all. If there's Hydra—"

"Just stay away from them." Peter muttered unhappily.

"This is a good boy." Tony said with satisfaction, "I will contact you again."

Peter turned off the phone, stared out of the glass window, and let out a depressed breath.When on earth did Tony stop treating him like a kid?Do you have to wait until you graduate from college?

The tour bus started to drive again, and gradually moved away from the legendary forest where elves lived, while the surface of Lake Itiou was still sparkling.

……

At night, the sky is full of stars.

In the gloomy primeval forest, sporadic gunshots came, disturbing the tranquility of the forest, and flocks of birds flew up.

The surface of the lake reflecting the moonlight looks gentle and cool.The old trees shook their branches and leaves under the moon, and other trees rustled in the distance.

At this moment, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were dark.James Barnes, the former Winter Soldier, stepped out of the woods, clutching his shoulders.

He solved a team of hydra, but accidentally got the powerful anesthetic specially used by hydra to deal with superhumans.The sparkling lake was swaying in front of his eyes, Bucky was thirsty because of the medicine effect, human instinct made him keep getting closer to the water source...

The scenes in front of him continued to overlap, the man's eyes went dark, and he passed out at the foot of the giant tree.

The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the moon climbed to the highest point of the star curtain.

The moonlight shines on the branches of the ancient tree, on every leaf... Under the giant tree, the roots and bark that make up the girl's lying appearance are slowly falling off.When the moonlight shone on the roots of the tree, the head of the 'girl' moved slightly, and the dust and bark shook.

In the next second, a slender white hand stretched out and propped it on the ground.

……

The Winter Soldier seemed to vaguely see a figure in his coma.She seems to have long blonde hair with a soft glow all around her.

Between half asleep and half awake, Bucky felt extremely tired.

You said that as a Winter Soldier with explosive combat power, how could he go to heaven with a shot of anesthesia in the shoulder?

Shame, so shameful.
