After the opponent's power was recharged again, Zhou Yingting saw within the internal circuits of the opponent, lines extending in all directions.

From the Energy Core, energy was supplied to the surroundings.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting took a small knife from the side and directly stabbed it into the robot.

As the small knife struck the robot, a faint layer of silvery-white light flashed beneath its surface.

Zhou Yingting could feel that with this layer of energy fluctuation, the force that just landed on the robot diminished significantly at this moment.

"Just as expected."

After completing the test, Zhou Yingting turned and gestured for Xiao Yuzhu and the others to give it a try.

The group immediately stepped forward to attempt as well. They were curious about what differences arose in this thing after connecting the energy.

With that in mind, they began their attempts right away.

As they attempted to use their own Power or Magic to attack in various ways, they immediately sensed something off.

In their perception, their Magic seemed to be absorbed when it hit the robot.

This was different from before, when they used the robot's corpse for testing, it felt like their Magic was completely blocked.

The different sensations between the two made them furrow their brows with a thoughtful gaze.

"Did you all feel that? Our magic seems to be absorbed when it strikes."

Huang Qi felt it as well, but he wasn't sure if he was mistaken, so he directly looked at Xiao Yuzhu to see if she felt the same.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuzhu struck the robot with her palm, which was immediately covered with a layer of crystalline light.

However, as soon as Xiao Yuzhu's palm made contact with the robot, the light dimmed, appearing to be truly absorbed.

Xiao Yuzhu furrowed her brows and said, "Strange, it really got absorbed."

She hadn't been in this instance for long, so her understanding of the robot was limited, mostly based on others' descriptions.

Upon discovering this, she frowned, "Although it seems we learned this thing becomes more difficult to deal with after gaining energy, it doesn't seem to serve much purpose overall."

"We can't break through its Defense in the first place, so whether it strengthens or not doesn't make much difference for us."

As Xiao Yuzhu spoke, she also glanced at Zhou Yingting.

If researching this robot only resulted in this discovery, it doesn't particularly help in completing the mission.

Zhou Yingting thought about it and realized this finding doesn't help at present.

"Perhaps with more research, we could find some way to counter the robots; otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the mission."

Without enough confidence, no one from the intelligent side would be willing to enter.

Who would want to enter a hellish place with tens of thousands of robots?

Even if the consequence of not completing the mission is staying here, it's still better than walking to one's death.

At least by staying, you remain alive; leaving means death.

Upon hearing Zhou Yingting's words, Xiao Yuzhu squatted down beside him.

Zhou Yingting made sense; without figuring out how to deal with this robot, the tens of thousands waiting below would be daunting.

Even for her, without a method against this type of robot, attempting the mission feels suicidal.

Undoubtedly, those before weren't willing to march to death either.

With these thoughts, Xiao Yuzhu focused on the robot before them, pondering what might suppress it.

"If the Energy Core could be detonated, we could remotely cause an ammunition-like explosion in the robot's internal systems."

"The internals are fragile; an internal explosion would allow us to destroy the robot from afar."

"Then completing the mission would be much simpler for us."

Zhou Yingting said while pointing at the robot's Energy Core.

This robot is too fragile inside; an explosion would certainly destroy it.

Upon hearing Zhou Yingting's words, Xiao Yuzhu rubbed her temples in exasperation, "But didn't we already try that? This thing's stability is too strong; it simply won't explode."

"It looks like an extremely stable big battery."

"It's already really stable, and you want to detonate it from afar outside the robot's body? Isn't that improbable?"

Previous attempts couldn't set it off, and now considering remote detonation seems nearly impossible.

Zhou Yingting gave a helpless smile, "If we really want to complete the task, this might be the best method. If remote detonation isn't feasible, we might as well pray that these robots age more severely and fall apart at a touch."

With thousands of these robots, Zhou Yingting couldn't think of another way to win.

"Wait until it ages more severely?"

Huang Qi was taken aback, seemingly realizing something.

Seeing him like that, Zhou Yingting thought he had an idea and nodded, "Isn't it already aging? If we wait until it's more severe, maybe we could handle it then."

Huang Qi responded, "Do you mean we should wait until it's completely aged and immobile, making our mission easier?"

Zhou Yingting froze, and Xiao Yuzhu gazed at him in astonishment.

"You seriously think you can wait it out against the robot? Outliving it? Even with its severe aging, it's impossible to outlast it."

"The locals wanted to transcend lifespan limits. You think your body can endure longer?"

"Did your time as an Extraordinary not impact your lifespan?"

Zhou Yingting found this strange.

Becoming an Extraordinary typically shortens lifespan due to tasks or dungeons.

Could his Life Quota be notably high, making him consider such a method?

Xiao Yuzhu nodded, "Competing over remaining time is implausible. Just look at it; internally aged, yet it still acts as long as it has Energy."

"Do you still wish to outlast it in longevity?"

Xiao Yuzhu inquired directly.

Um.....

Huang Qi glanced at his attribute panel, defeated as reality hit him.

He realized with his Life Quota, he couldn't outlast the robot.

Even if he could endure, he must consider if Xiao Yuzhu and others could, given they're key for mission completion, escaping only after they fulfill their role.
