Chapter 997 Groot: Is it possible that I can only say one sentence?

Star-Lord quickly defended himself, with a hint of urgency and helplessness in his voice: "No, I'm telling the truth! I'm just trying to tell our experiences in a more acceptable way. After all, who doesn't like to hear a story full of adventures?"

But Ultron did not respond immediately, but turned his attention to Star-Lord's companions.

It keenly noticed that during Star-Lord's narration, his companions had different reactions.

Some were absent-minded and seemed not interested in what Star-Lord said; some did not take it seriously, with a faint mockery on their lips; and the green-skinned alien - Gamora, her reaction was particularly eye-catching.

As soon as Star-Lord finished speaking, Gamora's face showed an expression of surprise and confusion.

Her eyes were wide open, and the corners of her mouth were slightly open, as if she was surprised at Star-Lord's ability to make up stories, rather than agreeing with the content of the story.

Ultron interrupted him: "Really? But the reactions of your companions tell me that your story is not completely true. Either you have some reservations on some details, or it is simply fictional. For example, the expression of this green-skinned friend tells me that she is surprised by your narration, perhaps because she realizes that you are weaving a complicated lie."

This is embarrassing.

Star-Lord's heart sank suddenly, and he felt unprecedented embarrassment and frustration.

He glared at those "unreliable" teammates angrily and complained in a low voice: "Please, I tried so hard to deceive him, can't you cooperate? At least, pretend to be more realistic! Our life and death may hang on this line."

His voice was full of helplessness and disappointment, as if at this moment, he became a lonely warrior, facing an invincible enemy.

Gamora shrugged, with a helpless and teasing smile on her face, and she whispered back: "You know, I'm not an explorer, how can I know what to do. Besides, your story does sound a bit exaggerated, what about encountering predators during an expedition, and you defeating a hundred space pirates with a blaster alone, even I almost couldn't help laughing out loud."

Drax was more direct, waving his strong arms and said impatiently: "I've said it before, it's much easier to just fight than to tell stories. Those fancy lies are useless. My fists are more real."

"Sorry, Quill, I promise to be serious next time, provided that you don't continue to brag about being a hero."

Rocket Raccoon also echoed.

"I'm Groot!"

Groot also said in an affirmative tone.

Faced with the reactions of his teammates, Star-Lord could only smile bitterly.

He knew that this attempt at "lies" had failed, and next, they must find other ways to win Ultron's trust, or at least find a way out.

Ultron looked at Star-Lord, as if waiting for his next move.

Star-Lord took a deep breath and decided to be honest: "Okay, I admit that I added some imagination when telling the story, trying to make it more attractive. But we are indeed an interstellar exploration team. Our goal is to explore the unknown and promote peace. I hope you can understand that in the face of an existence like you, we have to take all possible strategies to protect ourselves."

However, Ultron ignored what Star-Lord said. There was still no expression on his face, as if Star-Lord's honesty meant nothing to him.

He said coldly: "You have lost my trust. What I will do to you next is what you asked for."

Star-Lord's heart sank again.

He knew that their situation was already precarious.

At this moment, Drax suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Ultron like an enraged beast.

There was a crazy light in his eyes, as if he wanted to pour all his anger on this punch.

Others showed expectant expressions.

"Kill him, Drax!"

"Knock him down!"

The people of the Guardians of the Galaxy followed suit.

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow again.

Drax howled and punched Ultron, but his fist was caught by the Saiyan next to Ultron.

The Saiyan wore a combat power detector and looked at the data displayed on it coldly, with a sneer on his lips: "A piece of trash whose combat power is not even 100 points."

After that, the Saiyan punched Drax.

This punch was so powerful that Drax flew out.

His body drew a long arc in the air, almost flying to the horizon before falling heavily to the ground.

At that moment, the Guardians of the Galaxy fell into a dead silence.

The remaining members of the Guardians of the Galaxy widened their eyes, looking at the scene in front of them, their hearts filled with shock and fear.

They swallowed their saliva, as if even breathing became difficult.

"Gulp."

Finally, someone couldn't help but make a sound of swallowing saliva.

Then, everyone raised their hands and made a gesture of surrender.

They knew that in front of this Saiyan, they had no chance of winning at all.

Ultron had the intelligent machines separate them for imprisonment.

He wanted to interrogate each person individually so that they could not collude with each other.

Star-Lord, the man who claimed to be the bravest explorer in the universe, was now curled up in a small cell, his face full of anxiety and fear.

His belly trembled slightly with the rhythm of his heartbeat, as if silently telling his inner panic.

Fearing that he would be tortured, he was very self-aware of his will. He was afraid that he would kneel down as soon as Ultron took out the torture instruments.

Ultron interrogated them all. However, to Ultron's surprise, except for Star-Lord, the other members showed amazing perseverance and determination.

Especially the tree man called "Groot", he repeated the same sentence over and over again: "I am Groot."

This sentence sounds simple and stupid, but the tenacity and indomitable spirit contained in it deeply touched Ultron.

"What an interesting guy."

Ultron couldn't help but secretly admire.

He had never seen such a stubborn prisoner. Even in the face of the most cruel punishment, Groot still insisted on his beliefs, expressing his respect and persistence for life with that simple sentence, and mocking Ultron's torture of him.

In contrast, Star-Lord was not good. As soon as the intelligent machine showed the knife, he said everything.

They are not some Star Lord expedition team, nor are they some legendary explorers, heroes that are considered friends by more than a hundred cosmic civilizations.

He is just a space pirate plunderer.
