I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 137 To be a wolf or a dog?

Fei Xi followed closely behind Shen Tianbao, and the two rushed into the dilapidated temple hall one after the other.

As soon as she entered, before Fei Xi could even see what was happening in the temple, a figure suddenly pounced on her and pinned her down.

"Drop your weapons and keep your head down! What kind of god statue is this? This is a killing robot!"

“Back…zz…back…zz…”

"Who is speaking?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"

Several screams rang out in the dilapidated temple, and blood flowed down the floor into Fei Xi's view.

The crimson blood instantly stained her eyes, and the familiar scene drove her heart into a frenzy.

The irreparable pain and regret intertwined in my mind, gradually becoming a sorrow I could not tell anyone.

"Sister Wan! Sister Wan! I'm so sorry!!!"

Fei Xi struggled to get up and check if Brother Shen was alright.

Sensing her movement, the figure pressing down on her immediately reached out a large hand and forcefully pressed Fei Xi's head to the floor.

"I fucking told you to drop your weapons, lie down and don't move! If you don't want to die, stay put!"

A furious roar came from above, so powerful that those who hadn't yet reacted instinctively dropped to the ground in fear.

With her face pressed against the ground, the cold touch gradually brought Fei Xi back to her senses.

"Brother Shen, are you alright?"

"Girl, I'm fine!"

The response from not far away was somewhat choked up, but it sounded like nothing serious had happened.

Relieved, Fei Xi stared at the gray stone slab beneath her face and quickly reviewed the information she had just heard in her mind.

"Grandpa, the slaughter you mentioned, are you referring to that statue that looks like an iron barrel? Why do you call it a robot? What exactly happened just now?"

"Lie still, don't get up!"

The hand above her head loosened its grip, and Fei Xi turned her head to the side, only able to catch a glimpse of the old man's profile out of the corner of her eye.

Above that grimy beard, a pair of bright, piercing eyes now seemed to transcend the vastness of time.

"This is a killing machine that was specifically created by humans for the purpose of war."

"If we lie down, it won't kill us?" Fei Xi subconsciously took over the conversation.

Upon hearing this, the old man lowered his head to meet her gaze, his cold eyes filled with mockery.

"Ha! As long as the civilians give up resistance and lie on the ground obediently like dogs, the killing robots will not kill unarmed civilians."

Before Fei Xi could reply, the old man seemed to remember something, pursed his lips, and let his downturned mouth reveal deep disgust and disdain.

"Humans can kill wolves directly, but they prefer to tame them into docile dogs to maximize their profits."

"They preach to dogs that dogs should be loyal, that people are kind, and that they will treat dogs as their best friends."

"In reality, once a wolf is reduced to a dog, its fate is entirely in the hands of a human being."

“When the dog’s value has been completely exploited and it is old and useless, people can simply fabricate a crime to kill it, skin it, and eat its flesh.”

"If it were you, would you rather be a wolf or a dog?"

"I want to be a human being!"

A firm voice interrupted their conversation.

The man lying nearby clenched his fists, his grief-stricken eyes unable to conceal the rage in his heart. He looked up, staring intently at the altar in front of him, and said in a slightly choked voice,

"Senior, I neither want to tear and rob like a wolf, nor do I want to fawn and beg like a dog. I want to stand tall as a human being, and if anyone makes me kneel, I will fight to the death!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Shen Tianbao was met with a cold, mocking laugh.

The old man, his face grim after his laughter, looked up at the robot still scanning the hall with its red light not far away, and let out a cold snort.

"So, do you dare to stand up now? Can you make them all stand up? Who do you think you are? Do you think that if you say you don't want to, the butcher's knife will reason with you? You can't even protect yourself. All you have are passionate slogans, which will only make everyone die faster!"

The old man's repeated questions were like invisible knives, piercing Shen Tianbao's heart and causing him to be unable to answer for a moment.

With his brothers' corpses right in front of him, he couldn't ignore the bloody reality.

But it shouldn't be like this; he doesn't want to, and can't, keep kneeling like this!

What should he do? He can't gamble with the lives of his remaining brothers on a moment of impulse!

"When a dragon appears in the field, it is auspicious to see a great man; when a dragon flies in the sky, it is auspicious to see a great man... When dragons fight in the wilderness, their path is exhausted; the auspiciousness of the outer gate signifies a prosperous end!"

The sudden, crisp sound broke the somber, tense atmosphere of the main hall.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Fei Xi stood up.

She closed her eyes tightly, her hands moving rapidly in calculations, her figure dodging every beam of red light with an indescribable gait, resolutely walking towards the "statue" inside the hall.

Fei Xi only opened her eyes when her hand touched the cold metal.

"Is it you who's talking?"

“Go back… sizzle… go back… sizzle… home… sizzle…”

"Girl, what are you saying? What are you talking about?"

Shh, be quiet!

"Going home? Number...? About to... return... home... home? Discovered... traitor... eliminate on the spot...?!"

"run!"

Before Fei Xi could utter the last word, the old man's angry shout interrupted her.

The red light began to flash rapidly, and the "idol" seemed to have lost its target, suddenly becoming frantic.

His iron-like body leaped off the altar, and the entire hall trembled as soon as his two "feet," twice the thickness of a human leg, landed.

After a flash, a beam of red light shot out again from the hole at the top of the iron barrel.

Wherever the red light passed, the buildings were easily sliced ​​in half as if they were tofu.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the word "smear" was uttered, Fei Xi was picked up by the old man and fled to the central courtyard behind the palace.

Out of the corner of her eye, Fei Xi glanced back into the hall and saw Zhao Yi pass by them. Brother Shen grabbed the two people beside him and ran out together, with Uncle Lu and the others following closely behind.

Under the sunlight, a hint of tears seemed to glisten on Brother Shen's face.

The statue, having lost its target, was like a headless fly. As if sensing that many people had fled the main hall, it immediately followed Fei Xi and his group to the central courtyard.

……

The red light swept back and forth in the courtyard. The "statue" seemed unable to find Fei Xi and the others, and finally gave up and "walked" towards the back hall of the temple.

The stench of the dead mule's blood was so strong it was nauseating. Fei Xi suppressed the nausea rising in her stomach and glared angrily at Zhao Yi, who was being held down by the old man.

"Zhao Yi! In what way have I, Shen Tianbao, wronged you? How dare you harm my brothers from the Changchang Escort Agency like this!"

"Ha, you'd rather trust two strangers of unknown origin than trust me, who has helped you all along. I, Zhao Yi, have nothing to say!"

"I only believe what I see with my own eyes!"

"These items are all meteorites. Your master will entrust Brother Shen and his men to transport them to the desert, and will also send the three of you to assist. From beginning to end, it is both to monitor them and to make it easier to kill them and silence them after they arrive at their destination."

Fei Xi stroked the "giant rock" beside her, her face ashen. She had been staring at Zhao Yi, and naturally saw the fleeting panic on Zhao Yi's face after she had hit the nail on the head.

Just now, Fei Xi was being dragged by the old man from inside the palace to the central courtyard when she was met with a menacing blade of energy.

Fortunately, the old man was prepared. His palm strike was like thunder, and with one blow, he made Zhao Yi, who was trying to sneak attack them, vomit blood.

Seeing Zhao Yi hiding behind a pile of goods, the old man picked up Fei Xi and chased after him.

Just then, the "idol" came from behind, a flash of red light appeared, and the tarpaulin wrapping the goods was cut into several pieces, revealing its true form.

The goods that Changchang Escort Agency was transporting this time turned out to be a pile of "stones" almost as tall as a person?

Even more surprisingly, anything that is swept by the red light will be cut in half.

The "giant rock" that was hit by the red light remained unharmed!

Their eyes met, and the old man and Fei Xi instantly understood why Zhao Yi had hidden among the pile of "stones".

The old man immediately subdued Zhao Yi, and Fei Xi hurriedly called Brother Shen and the others to escape behind the pile of stones, thus saving everyone from disaster.

After some conversation, Fei Xi finally understood why the main hall in front of her had become like this after she summoned Shen Tianbao to the central courtyard.

At that time, the old man and the others squatted around the fire, drinking porridge and chatting.

It was mainly the old man who was blowing the horn, while the young people around him were praising him.

As they were chatting, the old man suddenly noticed that Zhao Yi had somehow walked behind the "statue".

He looked up in the direction of the figure and realized that the temple was actually dedicated to a killing robot!

Sensing something was wrong, the old man suddenly stood up, his steps swift and agile.

With a swift movement, he used a grappling technique to pull Zhao Yi out from behind the "statue" and throw him in front of it.

Before the old man could ask Zhao Yi what he was doing so suspiciously,

A red light suddenly appeared, and the old man discovered that the killing robot seemed to have been restarted.

What happened next was exactly as Fei Xi had witnessed.

"Murder to silence them?! Why?!"

Shen Tianbao was incredulous when he heard what Fei Xi said.

Fei Xi sighed inwardly, but without changing her expression, she uttered a startling statement to everyone.

"Because his master is Tiangongbao!"
