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

"Devouring Beasts? Isn't this ground covered in Devouring Beasts?"

"No! This aura is immense; it could be a King-level Devouring Beast!"

Mu Qing was startled. Seeing Jing Yuan's concerned expression, she asked, "Is it in the direction we're heading?"

"Correct!"

"Then the robot isn't afraid..." Mu Qing started to say, but then realized that the robot was just a machine! Without life essence, the Devouring Beasts wouldn't care about them at all.

Jing Yuan looked at Mu Qing and asked, "Can you return to the origin?"

Mu Qing smiled and said, "What are you thinking? I'm from Dragon Bone Village."

"Oh, right! Let's maintain our original state and follow them to take a look!"

Jingyuan continued to follow the robot spaceship, but just as they were about to approach the Devouring Beast, the spaceship turned.

It also seems to be deliberately avoiding the Devouring Beast.

Devouring Beasts are not only capable of sensing the aura of life essence, especially King-level Devouring Beasts, which are actually quite similar to intelligent life forms.

The fact that the robot avoided the Devouring Beast indicates that it was still worried that the spaceship would attract the Devouring Beast's attention.

At this moment, the spaceship was ten kilometers away from the Devouring Beast.

Even if it were noise from the spacecraft, at a distance of ten kilometers, it would have long been blended into the ambient noise and would not attract any attention.

Jing Yuan didn't use his mental power; he just looked down with his naked eye and discovered that this area was another core ecological zone with dense vegetation.

Jingyuan realized that when the lighthouse was wandering the world, it never dared to approach the core ecological area.

When Jingyuan went to find Dragon Bone Village, he found it in the core ecological area.

Now the robots have brought them to the ecological core area of ​​the beautiful new continent. Could it be that the Hella people have also established a settlement in the ecological core area?

Soon, the spaceship began to descend.

Then, in a distant mountain range, a gate concealed by the mountain slowly opened, and the spaceship slowly approached and flew into the mountain.

Upon seeing this scene from afar, Jingyuan controlled the spaceship to stop on a distant mountaintop.

Jingyuan said to Muqing, "I'll go check it out by myself. You stay on the spaceship. If you find the Devouring Beast, pilot the spaceship away. But don't go too far!"

"understand!"

Chapter 264 Missiles, Drones, Robots

Jing Yuan left the spaceship alone, stepped onto the scale-like disc, and flew towards the mountain gate.

As Jing Yuan approached, more than a dozen doors suddenly opened on the mountainside, and anti-aircraft guns were pushed out one after another.

"As expected, there are defensive weapons!"

Without any warning, the other side fired shells directly.

"call out!"

A shell was fired from the cannon muzzle and headed straight for Jing Yuan.

Jingyuan looked at it and said with a smile, "They're really frugal, only taking one out to test the waters."

Jingyuan used the scale disc to dodge at the last second, and the missile just missed him.

"Oh!"

The missile exploded in mid-air after passing Jingyuan.

Jing Yuan didn't waste any time in the air. Just as the missile exploded, he accelerated and flew into the mountains.

The enemy's first attack failed, and then more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns fired their shells simultaneously.

More than a dozen missiles, spewing trails of fire, hurtled toward Jing Yuan at high speed.

Jingyuan directly controlled a throwing knife to fly towards the enemy.

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

Missiles exploded one after another, creating huge dust clouds in front of the mountains.

Originally, Jingyuan did not want to have a conflict with them.

But considering that all past encounters with new settlements had ended in battle, there was no need to hide anything.

Letting the other party see your strength might make things easier to talk to.

In an instant, all of the dozen or so missiles exploded, but Jing Yuan remained unharmed and hovered in the air.

The people operating the anti-aircraft guns never expected that such a target could not be shot down even after more than a dozen missiles.

After confirming that the target had not been shot down, another door opened in the mountainside.

"Buzz!"

When Jingyuan heard the sound, he thought he had encountered a swarm of bees. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a swarm of drones.

Jing Yuan's eyes widened. There were hardly any lighthouses left, yet they still had so many!

It seems the people of the Hela Empire live very wealthy lives!

The drone swarm flew rapidly toward Jingyuan, and in an instant, bullets rained down like a storm.

Jingyuan manipulated the scale plate to stand up, using his body to block the bullets as they landed on it with a clanging sound.

The scale plate we have now is made by 4277 using an alloy comparable to the skeleton of a king-level Devouring Beast. The size of a drone bullet won't even leave a mark on the scale plate.

To give the Hela people a welcoming gift, Jing Yuan directly controlled thirty-five throwing knives, and in just one round, he shot down all the dozens of drones.

Jing Yuan retrieved his flying knife, remained standing on the scale plate, and waved towards the mountain.

This signaled to them to use whatever means necessary.

Jingyuan waited for more than ten seconds, but no further attacks occurred.

At this moment, the door opened, but only halfway.

A spaceship flew out directly from the half-open gate, then sped past Jingyuan and flew away into the distance.

Upon seeing the spaceship escape, Jingyuan instinctively wanted to chase after it, but upon closer inspection, something seemed amiss.

He thought for a second, then accelerated and flew towards the mountain, entering before the gate closed.

At this moment, there is still light inside the mountain.

Jingyuan saw a vast open space containing more than ten Phantom spaceships, as well as cars, engineering vehicles, fighter jets, drones, and other equipment.

This place resembles a hangar.

Jing Yuan looked back at the Phantom that had just flown away. Was it trying to lure the enemy away from their base?

There are so many anti-aircraft guns and so many weapons deployed outside this mountain. You can't just be guarding an empty mountaintop, can you?

I wonder what the people inside are thinking.

Jingyuan flew through the empty interior of the mountain, but didn't see a single person.

But this hangar doesn't look like it's been sealed off and unused for years.

Jing Yuan looked at one of the Phantom spaceships; its engines were still radiating heat.

Looking at the markings on the tail section, Jing Yuan confirmed that this was the ship he had once stolen.

He and Mu Qing marked it, so it was easy to recognize at a glance.

He had initially thought that the spaceship that had just flown away was the Phantom they had marked, but it turned out it wasn't.

Jing Yuan arrived at the spaceship, opened the hatch, but there was no sign of the robot inside.

"Where did the robot go? Did it come in, leave this spaceship behind, and then pilot another spaceship out?"

Jingyuan knew this was a cover-up and a diversionary tactic, but the method was too clumsy!

Jing Yuan stepped out of the spaceship, holding a small instrument in his hand.

This is a tracking device.

Mu Qing left a backdoor for the robot, including a positioning system.

However, this positioning system can only display the location at close range.

If the robot leaves in another spaceship, the positioning device will not respond.

Ke Jingyuan took out the positioning device and found that it actually responded.

In other words, the robot is still inside the hangar.

Jingyuan walked in the direction indicated by the locator, but when he reached the end, there was a wall in front of him, and there was no way forward.

He looked around, but there were no roads nearby.

He then walked around the entire hangar and found that there were no other passageways.

Left with no other choice, Jingyuan returned to the spot with the strongest signal and stared at the wall in front of him.

This wall is still just a hardened cement wall.

Jingyuan directly manipulated the scale-forming disc to transform into a flying cone, which directly drilled through the wall.
