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

The robot charged straight at Penny, its fist transforming into a knife as it thrust forward.

Penny dodged to the side, then kicked the robot in the stomach.

After awakening her potential, Penny underwent source energy training, making her physical abilities far stronger than before.

She kicked the robot away with one kick.

At the same time, three other robots rushed towards Penny.

"Bang bang bang!"

Chu Feng, Ling Ge, and Tasia emerged from behind cover almost simultaneously and fired at the robot's head.

After being attacked, each of the four robots locked onto its opponent.

After kicking the robot away, Penny immediately drew her pistol and fired three shots at the robot's head, but the robot's head was so hard that the bullets failed to fly.

Surprisingly, these robots don't use guns, but only their fists and feet, which can all transform into knives.

From this perspective, these robots seem to be designed for close combat.

Chaos erupted instantly inside the engineering vessel's warehouse.

Outside the engineering vessel, Jing Yuan pulled a huge anti-gravity device closer to the vessel and spotted a small spaceship hovering in mid-air.

Jing Yuan quickly asked on the communication frequency, "Why is there a small spaceship above the engineering ship?"

Before he could hear a reply, Jingyuan heard gunshots.

Penny replied to Jingyuan, "We've encountered robots!"

After listening, Jingyuan used his mental power to scan and quickly located Penny's position.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be right below that small spaceship.

Jingyuan immediately flew over.

Upon arriving at the small spaceship, they found no one inside.

Jingyuan saw that there was a hole in the engineering ship and immediately jumped down.

As soon as Jingyuan landed, he saw four robots attacking Penny and the others.

Penny and Tasia, thanks to their Awakened physical abilities, managed to fight the robot to a standstill.

The robot's hands transformed into knives, each strike aimed at Penny's vitals.

However, Penny had the ability to sense spatial fluctuations and easily dodged the robot's attack.

Although Penny can dodge the robots' attacks, her main means of attack is firearms.

Penny seized the opportunity and fired three shots into the robot's head, but she still couldn't break through the robot's head armor.

On the other side, Chu Feng and Lin Ge had not yet awakened their potential, so they had a harder time dealing with the robots.

Chu Feng fired his rifle repeatedly at the robot's elbow joint, expending countless bullets, until finally the robot's joint jammed.

Chu Feng pulled out a dagger, rushed towards the robot, stabbed the dagger into the robot's shoulder joint, and then forcefully twisted it off, detaching the robot's arm.

On Ling's side, he kept firing at the robot, but it was still retreating step by step.

Ignoring the bullets, the robot charged forward, ready to slash at Linge.

Jingyuan took the battle sword from his back and threw it over. He controlled the sword with his telekinesis and severed the robot's head in one strike.

After Chu Feng removed the robot's arm, he used a rifle to shoot the robot's core inside its chest cavity through the gap, destroying the robot completely.

Jingyuan used his telekinesis to control the battle sword to fly towards Tasia, and with one strike, he cut the robot in half.

These robots posed no challenge to Jing Yuan.

The robots here were dealt with quickly.

Jingyuan then controlled the battle sword to fly towards Penny.

"Jingyuan, leave one!" Penny said quickly.

Jingyuan immediately stopped fighting.

Capturing a robot alive is far more useful than guarding a pile of scrap metal.

Jingyuan reached out and grabbed, instantly bringing the robot that was fighting Penny under control.

Jingyuan's mental power cannot control living beings, but robots are not living beings; they are just a pile of metal with some programming.

Jingyuan controlled the last robot with just a single thought.

"What happened?" Jingyuan asked.

Penny said, "We came here for an inspection and happened to encounter these robots transporting energy! We tried to make contact, but they attacked us without warning..."

Before Penny could finish speaking, the two robots lying on the ground suddenly exploded in a small explosion.

The explosion only damaged the robot's core.

This puzzled Jing Yuan. Before he could react, the robot he was controlling with his telekinesis, which was suspended in the air, also began to shake strangely.

Bang!

An explosion occurred at the core of the robot.

Jing Yuan looked puzzled. "Can't I just take someone back in good condition?"

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from the damaged hole in the spaceship.

Jing Yuan remembered the spaceship that was parked above, so he immediately dropped the robot, jumped out of the cave, and flew upwards.

By the time Jingyuan came out, the spaceship had already flown away.

That gust of wind just now was caused when the spaceship started up.

Jingyuan looked towards the horizon and could still see the shadow of the spaceship.

He quickly maneuvered his surfboard, cutting through the sky and flying away at high speed.

Jing Yuan chased for less than a minute before he could sense the spaceship getting further and further away, so he gave up the chase.

Back in the ship's warehouse, Chu Feng and Lin Ge gathered the robot's body together.

Jingyuan looked at the four robots.

The robot, which was finally controlled by Jing Yuan using his telekinesis, still had its torso intact.

Unlike humans, robots should still be able to extract some information as long as their core chips are intact.

Jingyuan looked at Penny, "Does anyone on our team know anything about robots?"

"Yes, I have!"

After Penny finished speaking, she went next door and brought back a boy.

There are only three men in the research department.

“His name is Finn. Although there are no robots on the lighthouse, he has studied the relevant knowledge,” Penny introduced.

"How did you know?" Jing Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Penny laughed and said, "I've seen everyone's information."

Jingyuan gave a thumbs up, surprised that Penny had considered everything so thoroughly.

After inspecting the robots, Finn approached respectfully and said, "Lord Jingyuan, the cores of these robots have been completely destroyed. They seem to be consciously trying to prevent anyone from taking their cores for research, so they have specially designed self-destruct mechanisms."

"Besides the core clues, can you find any other leads?"

Finn smiled and said, "This robot was manufactured by the Vestalia Corporation of the Hela Empire."

Chapter 219 Repairing the Spaceship

"How do you know?" Jing Yuan looked at the robot. "Is there a label on it?"

"Yes."

Jingyuan looked in the direction Finn pointed and indeed there was a small nameplate below the robot's chest armor.

Finn said, "Vestalia Corporation is the largest military industrial enterprise in the Hela Empire. Almost all the weapons and equipment used by the Hela Empire's army were produced by Vestalia Corporation."

This robot looks very similar to the Hela Empire's robot force mentioned in the Lighthouse's information.

Jingyuan looked at everyone and asked, "Do you think it's possible that the remnants of the Hela Empire are using robots to collect supplies?"

Chu Feng nodded. "I think it's very likely!"

Jing Yuan continued, "Robots don't have life essence, so they won't be detected by the Devouring Beasts! They can go wherever they want! Why didn't the Lighthouse think of collecting some robots to gather resources?"

Jingyuan's words stunned everyone!

Everyone should think about it carefully.

Yes!

For so many years, the Lighthouse has relied on hunters to gather supplies on the ground. If robots could replace them, wouldn't so many people have died?

“It’s not as simple as you think.” Aria walked over. She was a bit older than Jingyuan and the other young people, and she knew some of the things that happened in the Lighthouse in the past. “Robots in the old world couldn’t handle complex tasks like humans. So if you wanted to use robots to collect supplies, you had to control them remotely, which would involve signal problems.”

Aria looked at Jing Yuan and said, "When you hunters are on missions on the ground, you can't even guarantee communication signals, let alone signals to control robots."
