"You said to stop attacking that monster? Let it run rampant in our city? We are not creatures of the same race, so it's best not to say these … jokes. I won't try to understand. "
That was the response the commander gave to the Scholar.
The Scholar was now on the street, running with a group of soldiers and mechanical crocodiles. They were chasing … the elites not far ahead.
The Scholar had just contacted the commander and told it … what the elites wanted to say, and this was the result.
It stopped attacking a living lava monster that was moving in the city. It was obviously … unwilling.
This was indeed a very normal response. Unless the commander was also a believer, it would definitely not want the lava monster to move in the city.
Moreover, when the Scholar contacted the commander, it saw several missiles fly across the sky. They flew toward the lava monster in the distance and hit it …
Rumble!
The explosion caused its entire "head" to explode. Countless flashing lava rain splashed, and some even flew in this direction …
"Ah!" The Scholar heard a scream in front of it. A mechanical crocodile soldier was hit in the chest by flying lava. Its body was instantly melted, and a hole appeared in its body.
The lava that melted through it fell to the ground and quickly disappeared without a trace.
The soldiers running next to it were frightened, but they did not stop. They were still chasing the elite traitor. The only one who stopped was … the mechanical crocodile.
It ran to the soldier who had been melted and stopped. Then, it picked up its weapon and aimed at the elite in the distance …
Bang! With a gunshot, the elite's body suddenly tilted and fell to the ground.
It seemed that it had been shot in the leg. The Scholar saw blood gushing out of its thigh, but it only fell to the ground for a second before getting up again and continuing to run wildly.
The Scholar felt that … the mechanical crocodile's shooting was quite accurate, and the elite's physical strength was also very strong. Its body must have been strengthened or something had happened. From the first time it had broken through the door to now, it could still get up and run after being shot. Its ability was far stronger than ordinary crocodiles.
Seeing this, the mechanical crocodile wanted to continue shooting, but the soldiers beside it also noticed. They immediately ran over to stop it and said, "Wait, the commander just gave the order to capture it alive!"
"Of course it's captured alive. That's why I shot its leg!" the mechanical crocodile said. "My aiming system won't miss. Get out of the way, I …"
"Be careful!" Someone shouted, and the sky suddenly lit up. Countless lava blocks covered the sky like meteors.
"Ahhhhhhh!" What followed was a series of horrified screams. The soldiers here quickly ran for their lives. Large amounts of lava fell one after another, melting and penetrating their limbs and bodies.
The Scholar Walker was also dodging the lava falling from the sky. Its mechanical body was very flexible and did not suffer any damage.
When the lava rain was over, there were fallen soldiers everywhere, and the ground was full of potholes.
This seemed to be … an active attack.
Although the living lava 'god' had sputtered lava rain many times before, it had only sputtered out after it had been blown up. Now, it was actively throwing lava towards them.
This seemed to be protecting … the elites?
That doesn't seem to be the case. The Scholar saw that the ground where the Elite was running in the distance was also filled with craters due to the large number of lava blocks. It was just that the Elite managed to dodge them, so they were fine.
"That damned traitor! He actually called that god to attack us!" The mechanical crocodile was fine too. It raised its weapon again … and aimed at the Elite.
Bang! The attack hit, but it did not hit the Elite. Instead, it hit … the Primordial Realm's defense.
"How did you …" The mechanical crocodile and the Scholar Walker looked at the Primordial Realm that had suddenly appeared on the street in surprise. It stood … between them and the Elite.
"You …" The mechanical crocodile raised its weapon and said loudly, "Are you going to protect that traitor?"
"It betrayed you, not me," said the Primordial Realm's Primordial Realm. "It's the key to us finding out about the 'modifiers', so I have to protect it."
"Is that so? Anyway, I know you're up to no good! " The mechanical crocodile suddenly pressed a switch. A large number of bullets flew towards the Primordial Realm's defense.
"You damned thing … Why do you have such strange technology?" The mechanical crocodile kept shooting, but it was unable to cause any damage to the Primordial Realm.
Because its attacks were ineffective, the mechanical crocodile became more and more flustered. It looked around, but the soldiers from before had all become corpses. They could not help it.
"Hey! You! "The mechanical crocodile shouted at the Scholar Walker," Come and help me deal with it! Which side are you on? "
The Scholar Walker was stunned. It really did not know which side it was on. Whether it was the Dust Crocodile's side, the god, or the invaders … The Scholar Walker did not think it was on any side.
It had only come here to explore the secrets of the tunnel and the Mirror World. It did not want to join any side or do anything for them.
In reality, the Scholar Walker was not like this before. For example, when it was watching movies, it would naturally like a certain faction and hate another faction. In the past, if it came into contact with the Dust Crocodile first, the Scholar Walker would naturally lean towards the Dust Crocodile.
However, it was not like that now. The Scholar Walker did not particularly lean towards the Dust Crocodile. It felt that it should help them.
Instead, it felt that these races were similar. They should all have their own … reasons. It was not good for it to interfere with any side. It was only exploring for the sake of the mission.
The Shi Ping that was being attacked did not fight back. Instead, it quickly flew towards the Scholar Walker.
The Shi Ping said as it flew, "That thing of yours can control its emotions, right? I saw it just now. Its emotions can be controlled … Why don't you let it maintain its' nature '?"
"I …" Before the Scholar Walker could finish, it felt a force hit its body. The golden cube on its waist flew out for some reason and landed in the Shi Ping's hand.
Then, the Shi Ping held it and adjusted the numbers on the mechanical crocodile.
"You …" After adjusting all the numbers to zero, the mechanical crocodile suddenly stopped shooting. It fell into a state of confusion like before.
However, this time, it did not stay in a daze for as long as before. Instead, it quickly said, "We … actually ended up like this … I've already …"
The Scholar Walker looked at the mechanical crocodile. The Scholar Walker did not purposely keep it in a frenzied state. In reality, it had just forgotten. The mechanical crocodile had always been in a frenzied state, so there was nothing wrong with it.
However, adjusting it back did not seem to be … useful.
At the very least, it was useful to the Shi Ping. The Scholar Walker believed that the reason the Shi Ping did not attack the mechanical crocodile was that it believed the Scholar Walker treated it as … a friend or something similar. If it killed the mechanical crocodile, the Scholar Walker would be displeased.
As a result, it had always used a relatively 'soft' method to deal with the mechanical crocodile, just like right now. Although the Shi Ping had 'attacked' the Scholar Walker slightly earlier, it had used very little strength. Clearly, it did not want to … anger the Scholar Walker because it believed the Scholar Walker 'represented' the pompoms.
Now, it seemed like the Shi Ping believed that the gods were connected to their modifiers, which was why it wanted to help the gods.
"I know everything now …" The mechanical crocodile was still muttering to itself, "Why am I … What are we machines …"
It yelled out like it was having a mental breakdown. Altering its emotions should not change its memories, so it remembered everything that had happened before.
If it were a normal, non-frenzied machine, it would probably … loathe its actions from before.
"You've been surrounded!"
Before the mechanical crocodile could finish, a large number of … crocodile soldiers appeared. They should have hurried over after the lava rain.
The soldiers held weapons and surrounded the Scholar Walker, the mechanical crocodile, and the Shi Ping. They said, "This is the commander's order. Please return with us."
"Do you … want to capture us?" the mechanical crocodile asked the soldiers.
"No, because you're being monitored, you can't stray too far from the designated building," said a soldier. "You must all return. As for the traitor, there are other troops chasing after him."
"Traitor … Yes, it's all because of that traitor …" the mechanical crocodile said emotionlessly, "Go … Capture him. We're going back."
After saying that, it walked back in the direction it came from.
"Of course, we'll do our best to capture him. Please return to a safe place as soon as possible," the soldiers said as they stood on both sides, trying to take the mechanical crocodile and the Scholar back.
The mechanical crocodile walked over to the Scholar Walker. It turned its head and said, "I say … Are you the same?"
The Scholar asked, "The same?"
"That's right … Are machines also discriminated against in your race? Do they use something to adjust your emotions? "The mechanical crocodile's voice was still emotionless.
"I … I'm actually not a machine," said the Scholar Walker.
"What are you talking about? No matter how you look at it, you're a machine- "
"Ah! What are you doing? Please return with us! " A distant shout interrupted the mechanical crocodile. One of the soldiers surrounding the Shi Ping was sent flying, while the others raised their weapons and aimed at the Shi Ping.
"It's time," said the Shi Ping. "We'll learn the truth, and then we'll leave. No matter who it is … Farewell."
