Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

It can detect signals at the monarch level, but not signals below the monarch level.

Moreover, the fact that it could detect the Devouring Beast's concealed aura indicates that this function is only applicable to King-level beings.

Jingyuan parked the anti-gravity device and then flew towards the engineering ship.

Along the way, they spotted a few Devouring Beasts here and there. Jing Yuan directly used his telekinetic power to control the Crescent Blade and kill them!

As for whether absorbing the life essence of the Devouring Beast will attract ecological attention?

These words were said by Master Lai.

Jingyuan's attitude toward Master Lai's words was: one should not believe them completely, nor should one disbelieve them entirely.

You should weigh the pros and cons based on the circumstances.

Jingyuan's current target is the engineering ship. The Devouring Beasts on the ground are too close to the engineering ship. In order to avoid accidents during the mission, it is of course the best course of action to kill them.

Assuming Master Lai's words are true, then at worst we'll be surrounded by the Devouring Beasts again.

However, by then, Jingyuan and his group might have already left in their engineering vessel.

Soon, Jingyuan arrived at the location of the engineering ship.

From a distance, a huge spaceship lay on the desert.

Jing Yuan had previously reviewed the data on the engineering vessel. This spaceship was two kilometers long, and even a space-age anti-gravity device would require two of them to power it.

The engineering vessel had a complete hull structure, unlike the spaceships we had encountered before, which were either broken in two or fragments.

Jing Yuan arrived above the spaceship, scanning with his telekinesis while observing with his naked eye.

Although the spacecraft's surface has many damages, these damages are insignificant when operating within the atmosphere.

Jingyuan is currently worried about three issues: first, whether the original anti-gravity device on the engineering vessel is intact; second, whether the engine is in good working order; and third, whether the energy reserves are sufficient for the first start-up.

When the hunters arrived here, one of the spaceship's two anti-gravity devices was completely damaged, while the other was relatively intact but repairable.

At that time, the engineering vessel also had sufficient energy reserves.

The spaceship crashed when its anti-gravity device was destroyed by the Devouring Beasts while it was preparing to enter space.

Because the other anti-gravity device was not destroyed, the spacecraft did not fall too fast and its main structure remained intact when it hit the ground.

However, these questions can only be answered once the engineering team arrives.

Jingyuan could only scan for nearby Devouring Beasts, not the spaceship.

After carefully scanning the spaceship, Jing Yuan did not find any Devouring Beasts, so he turned back.

The Swift received the message and came ahead of time.

Jingyuan then went back and dragged the anti-gravity device over.

The Swift spacecraft landed next to the engineering vessel.

After everyone disembarked from the spaceship, Penny looked at Arya and asked, "Arya, should we check one by one, or split up?"

"I also can."

Penny thought for a moment. Although Jingyuan had already scanned the area and found no Devouring Beasts, just to be on the safe side, Penny still said, "Let's go together!"

"it is good!"

After saying that, the group entered the spaceship.

Tasia laughed and said, "You're quite cautious."

Penny said, "We're not familiar with this place, so it's better to be careful."

Tasia nodded and said, "The Hela Empire is too far from our Dragonbone Village. We've never received a signal from here. We always thought there was no one here." Tasia glanced at Penny and said, "Logically speaking, you Lighthouse people travel the world, so you should be very familiar with the situation in various regions."

Penny shook her head. "We lighthouse people are instilled with the idea from childhood that the lighthouse is our only home, so we know almost nothing about the ground."

Arya, who was standing nearby, joined the conversation, saying, "If any remnants of the Hela Empire survive, I hope they have preserved the complete technology of the old world. If the warp drive technology from back then has been preserved, even if we cannot defeat the Mana ecosystem, we can still find another home in the universe."

"Warp drive?" Tasia laughed. "Even the Hela Empire failed to research it back then. Even if the technology survived, it was incomplete."

"We can take this and continue our research. If we succeed, we can leave Earth!"

During the conversation, the team had already entered the spacecraft's anti-gravity device compartment.

Aria led her people around the device, then said to Penny, "Penny, we'll inspect the device here. The energy pod is nearby. Why don't you take your people to check it out?"

"it is good!"

The remaining people were Tasia, Chu Feng, and Ling Ge.

Penny asked Tasia, "Are you going?"

"Let's go!"

They walked in groups of four toward the energy cabin.

There is a dedicated energy storage warehouse near the anti-gravity device, right next to the energy transmission center.

Soon, Penny led her people into the warehouse, and once inside, she was stunned!

The warehouse was very spacious, with only a few boxes containing energy placed in the corner.

"That's not right!" Chu Feng said first. "The report said that the lighthouse only took the energy from the No. 2 anti-gravity device back then, and the energy from the No. 1 anti-gravity device was left in place. How could it be gone?"

“Could it be that we’ve got it backwards?” Tasia asked.

“No!” Penny shook her head. “Anti-gravity device number two is the one that was completely destroyed. Anti-gravity device number one is right here.”

"Or perhaps someone took it," Tasia asked doubtfully. "Besides your lighthouse, who would need this energy?"

The energy required for an anti-gravity system is different from that required for a spacecraft propulsion system.

Only aircraft like lighthouses, which require anti-gravity systems, need this energy.

But so far, the lighthouse is the only flying machine in the air.

"The energy in this one warehouse is enough for the lighthouse to fly for decades. That's why the lighthouse left this warehouse of energy behind and didn't take it with it."

"Come over quickly and take a look!"

Ling's voice came from the corner. He discovered a large hole in the corner, which led directly to the outside.

The others walked over and then realized that someone had taken away the energy from here.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from the cave entrance, and through the opening, they could vaguely see a small spaceship hovering above it.

Chapter 218 Robot of Unknown Origin

"Hide now!"

Penny quickly pulled Tasia up and then immediately hid in a secluded spot in the room.

"Chu Feng, go to the 10 o'clock position! Lin Ge, go to the 3 o'clock position!"

"Yes!"

The four people immediately surrounded the cave entrance.

"boom!"

A dull metallic clang rang out.

A spherical object was seen falling from the hole into the warehouse.

They thought it was some kind of weapon.

Unexpectedly, the object stood up the next moment.

This is a robot!

The robot walked toward the energy storage tank, and then the next robot fell down.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Four came down in total!

After the robot disembarked, it immediately began moving the goods.

"That's all! Let's call it a day!"

Penny was taken aback; these robots were still chatting!

"How to do?"

Chu Feng and Lin Ge looked at Penny. Since Jing Yuan wasn't there, they could only listen to Penny.

After hesitating for a moment, Penny said, "These robots must be controlled by humans. I'll talk to them, you cover me!"

"Yes!"

Penny stood up and went outside, raising her hands in an attempt to appear friendly.

"Hello! We are from the Lighthouse..."

The four robots were stunned and looked at Penny, not knowing what to do for a moment!

Suddenly, the robot's eyes turned red. "Isolation protocol activated!"

Penny was startled by the sudden change. When she saw the robot's eyes, she knew something was wrong, so she prepared for battle.
