He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

He assumed a defensive stance, cautiously surveying his surroundings... It was pitch black all around, and from a distance, one could only vaguely make out the outlines of objects.

This place appears to be a large cave, with the outlines of jagged rocks visible in the distance and overhead, resembling rock walls and cave ceilings.

Meanwhile, I am in a pool of water.

The pool wasn't deep, only up to waist-deep.

But the area was very large, and soldiers and agents who had followed them in were floating around it.

We need to wake them up.

Steve made a judgment immediately.

Although the water is not deep, a person who has lost consciousness will still drown if they fall in.

But as soon as he took a step, he realized something was wrong.

The resistance of the water was too great; it felt like being in a mud pit rather than a pool of water.

"No, it's not mud, it's oil."

Things that were not noticed before because I had just woken up and my consciousness was still unclear are now being discovered.

Steve seemed to realize something, and his expression changed drastically.

As if in response to his idea, fiery serpents rose from the rock face.

"Run! Run! Run!"

Steve screamed and swam with all his might to the nearby soldier, picked him up, and threw him onto the shore.

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

The water droplets shone brightly as if their lives were counting down, and more and more fire snakes rose from afar, spreading into the oil pool in no more than five seconds.

Many soldiers woke up because of Steve's shout.

They noticed their surroundings and hurriedly fled to the shore.

Steve glanced at the location of the fire serpent, grabbed a soldier nearby, and ran as fast as he could towards the shore.

Pong!

A fiery serpent swam in, and flames rose.

The oil pool instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire, illuminating the entire cave.

"Ah ah ah..."

The piercing screams were incessant.

Chapter 271: This is how the movie went.

Steve narrowly escaped death.

As the wave of flames was about to engulf him, he would grab the soldier with one hand and leap into the air, turning around in mid-air while holding the vibranium shield in front of him with the other.

then

boom!

The explosion was caused by a sharp rise in temperature.

The shockwave struck the vibranium shield, carrying Stephen and another soldier ashore.

This is something worth mentioning.

Vibranium is also known as sound-absorbing metal.

Because it can absorb kinetic energy.

The reason why the vibranium shield is considered divine while other vibranium weapons are particularly weak is that it can achieve effects such as complete absorption, reflection, and release through tilting angles.

Stephen used this function to release himself the instant he absorbed the impact of the flames, and then used the reaction force to fly ashore.

However, they managed to escape.

He felt no sense of relief at surviving the ordeal.

One reason was that he was used to walking the line between life and death, and another reason was that he failed to save the soldiers in his hands.

The vibranium shield is only that big.

Even with Steve crouching down, he could barely shield one person behind him as the shield bearer, while also holding onto him to prevent him from falling. Even if he wanted to use the shield to protect soldiers, it was impossible.

So, on the way to land.

The soldier was caught in the shockwave and instantly lost consciousness.

What angered Steve the most was that the soldiers and agents who failed to escape to shore watched the figures struggling and screaming in the sea of ​​fire, only to fall and die quietly. Steve's face turned ashen.

"The tower contains a labyrinth, a labyrinth fraught with danger, but at its end lies treasure!"

"This isn't a maze inside a tower."

"The tower is clearly a labyrinth!"

Recalling Gu Qing's words at the time, Steve couldn't help but refute them.

"Captain, what do we do now?"

At that moment, an American soldier came over and asked a question.

Steve looked around; there were still more than twenty people left, all looking at him and waiting for instructions.

"Now that things have come to this, the only option is to completely conquer the maze."

After Steve finished speaking, he turned and looked up.

On a rock face about forty meters high, there is a cave entrance that can be passed through by one person.

This is the only exit from the cave.

This is the Flaming Mountain.

The earth is so hot that it can cook eggs.

However, the path through the Flaming Mountain is a stone bridge that can only fit one foot, a full 300 meters long, with bubbling lava below.

"Jarvis, turn on the air conditioning."

As Tony gave the order, hot air hissed out of the exhaust vents on the back of the armor.

"Phew, that feels so good."

Tony squinted his eyes in satisfaction. "I'm a fucking genius for coming up with the idea of ​​adding an air conditioning system to a suit of armor that's not even that big."

"Fuck, how do we get there?"

Hearing the resentful complaints behind him, Tony sighed deeply. "I'll take you there!"

"Although there are usually ways to pass these trials safely by using your wisdom, I'm too lazy to use my brain. After all, who knows how many more challenges there will be? If I have to waste brain cells thinking about each one, my handsome hairstyle will go bald!"

""

The soldiers and agents were speechless.

"Okay, stop dawdling. Two people per group, each of you cling to a powerful figure." Tony urged, "This is a rare opportunity to cling to Iron Man. If you brag about it to your family when you get back, your wife and kids will look at you with admiration."

""

The soldiers and agents were speechless once again.

However, they were somewhat used to Tony's boastful nature and didn't linger.

Under the command of their superiors, they were divided into groups.

Then two people stepped forward and each grabbed one of the thighs.

"Don't worry, if you can't hold on, I'll help you hold on."

Why didn't you seize it from the beginning?

The two soldiers couldn't help but complain.

"Are you wondering why we didn't just grab them from the start?" Tony seemed to know what the soldiers were thinking, and answered himself, "That would be too low-class!"

He finished speaking before the two of them could react.

It suddenly activated its propulsion system and flew towards the other side.

boom!

Suddenly, the magma erupted.

Just as Tony and his men were halfway there, the lava below splashed up several meters of water.

From the lava, a ferocious-looking dragon with two horns on its head and a body as if cast from lava flew out.

The creature that appeared out of the legend astonished everyone.

Except for Tony.

"I knew some guys would pop out from below."

Tony remained calm and composed, raising his hand to fire a laser cannon. Before the dragon's body had fully emerged from the lava, it was struck in the head by the laser and sank back into the lava pool.

This sudden reversal stunned everyone.

Tony pulled up his mask, blew away the non-existent smoke from the laser cannon, and said smugly, "Now you know why I didn't just grab you guys and drag you over, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

"You guessed from the start that there were creatures in the lava that would attack us as we passed by, so you kept both hands ready to fire at any time!"

"Is that even a guess?"

Tony looked at the soldier in surprise, then smiled. "That's how it's always portrayed in the movies."

The others were also amused.

Without realizing it, the relationship was brought much closer.

Only the person being laughed at kept their head down.
