Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Late that night, in a hotel at the foot of a snow-covered extinct volcano, several young men and women were leisurely playing mahjong and planning to go skiing tomorrow.

The room was filled with a light smoke, and the sound of mahjong tiles clashing and the laughter of young people were intertwined. Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, as if tomorrow's ski trip would be an unforgettable adventure.

"Haha, I won!" a boy shouted excitedly, a smug smile on his face. The others looked at their cards in frustration, muttering, "Why did we lose again?"

"I want to ask you, is skiing tomorrow morning okay?" a girl asked.

"There will be an elevator tomorrow. It doesn't matter as long as we can move." said another boy.

"However, we must also pay attention to safety. After all, skiing is a relatively dangerous sport," a girl reminded.

"Don't worry, we will be careful." The other people nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, the room shook. The young men and women thought it was an earthquake and quickly went outside. They looked up and saw that the dormant volcano on the top of the mountain had suddenly erupted, and thick smoke and hot magma gushed out into the sky.

Special news was quickly broadcast on TV: "At midnight tonight, the extinct volcano of Wumen Yueshan suddenly erupted. Residents nearby are requested to leave as soon as possible and seek refuge in a safe place."

The eruption of the dormant volcano broke the tranquility of the night, waking the residents below the mountain from their sleep and rushing to the streets in panic. Thick smoke and hot magma spewed out of the crater, lighting up the night sky and causing great panic, and the evacuated people fell into chaos.

TPC personnel responded quickly and were dispatched. Armed with megaphones, they weaved through the chaotic crowd. "Please remain calm and follow the instructions to evacuate in an orderly manner!" Their voices were firm and powerful, attempting to calm the crowd.

Under the guidance of TPC personnel, residents gradually began to restore order. They helped each other, including the elderly and children, and evacuated toward safety. TPC personnel led the way, ensuring the roads were clear and assisting those with limited mobility, transporting them to safe areas via vehicles.

However, the volcanic eruption continues, with lava and volcanic ash posing a constant threat to residents' lives. TPC personnel face immense pressure, but they remain steadfast in their duties, providing a final measure of protection for residents.

The bravery and dedication of TPC personnel during this disaster are truly admirable. In particular, one TPC worker, Kihiko Tsunesuke, demonstrated responsibility and dedication through his actions, working tirelessly to protect the lives of the people. (This scene is something the Japanese can only film in special effects dramas; in real life, only the People's Liberation Army could do the same.)

The atmosphere within the base was solemn, the lights dim and tense. The sudden incident forced everyone to hastily gather for a crucial meeting to discuss a response. They had experienced countless thrilling and fierce battles with monsters before, so when this unusual situation occurred, everyone almost instinctively believed it was likely related to those terrifying monsters.

It was late at night, and most people were still immersed in the warmth of sleep, but a hurried call shattered the tranquility. Many leaders, both bleary-eyed and disheveled, dared not delay a moment, and quickly climbed out of their beds and hurried to the meeting room.

The conference room was packed with people, buzzing with discussion. A middle-aged man in a TPC uniform stood at the conference table, his face solemnly explaining the dire situation to everyone present.

"In fact, the phenomenon of extinct volcanoes erupting again is not uncommon. However, what is really worrying is the abnormal way the magma flows this time." His voice was low and powerful, as if carrying an invisible pressure.

Hearing this, Director Sawai frowned, a puzzled look on his face as he pressed on, "Abnormal magma flow? What exactly is going on?"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, then pointed to the large screen in the center of the conference room and signaled for the relevant video to play. The screen lit up, showing the surface beneath Wumen Yue Mountain. Lava flowed like a torrent, seemingly drawn by some mysterious force, converging towards the center.

Everyone present gasped at this scene, their astonishment palpable. Director Sawai stared at the screen, muttering thoughtfully, "Director Miyazawa, are you saying that only a special reason could cause the magma beneath Mount Wumenyue to flow so abnormally toward the center?"

"Yes, if left unchecked, a large amount of magma will erupt all at once," he said with a serious expression.

"If that's the case, it will inevitably lead to a massive disaster. Who should be held responsible for this?" Director Ji Gang said inappropriately.

"Is there any way to stop the magma from continuing its violent flow?" Staff Officer Nanyuan pondered.

"This is extremely dangerous, but we can use the underground Lute Tank. This equipment was originally created for deep underground exploration," said Dr. Jiancun.

"Huh, survey? There's still time for survey now?" Ji Gang said in a mocking tone.

"Director Ji Gang, if you disagree, just speak frankly. Why such sarcastic remarks? Or maybe you could show us, the younger generation at TPC, what it means to be strong even in old age. Go to the scene yourself, drive an excavator, and plunge into the lava layer. That would make it all clear!" Staff Officer Nanyuan retorted decisively.

"Hmph," Ji Gang turned his head away, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him.

Seeing that the old enemies were about to quarrel again, "Okay, Pipa Tank, set off immediately," Director Sawai made a prompt decision and quickly made the final decision.

In the command room, "Can we really control the magma by driving an underground Pippa Tank to the bottom of Mount Wumenyue?" Iruma Megumi asked with some concern.

"We can install cooling beams on the underground Pipa tanks. If we can cool the magma into lava, we might be able to stop it from continuing to erupt," Munakata added.

The battle plan was set, and the Victory Team quickly rushed to the scene. The two unlucky guys, Dagu and Xincheng, drove the underground Pipa tank deep into the frozen magma.

At dawn, Zhao Ming and Chris Maya were enjoying a leisurely breakfast at home when they suddenly caught a glimpse of the shocking scene of the eruption of the extinct Wumenyue volcano being broadcast live on the TV news.

"Didn't I chop Golzan into two pieces a long time ago? What's going on? Did it come back to life? Or did its brothers and sisters rush out to seek revenge?" Seeing this scene, Zhao Ming was enlightened, and a series of questions kept emerging in his mind.

After savoring Maya's lovingly prepared breakfast, he pecked her rosy, apple-red cheek. "I'm going to check on the situation," Zhao Ming whispered softly. As soon as he finished speaking, he performed the art of Disapparition, transforming into a brilliant beam of light and arriving at the scene at lightning speed.

At this moment, Feiyan-2 landed steadily on the ground like a nimble eagle, while Dagu and Xincheng were carrying out preparations for departure in an orderly manner on the Pipa tank.

Zhao Ming pulled a PDI device from his belt and contacted Dagu and Xincheng on the tank. His tone was slightly concerned as he shouted, "Dagu, Xincheng, you two must be careful down there! Don't damage the tank. We're thousands of meters underground, and it's not like a plane crash. If anything goes wrong, we'll probably have to rely on Ultraman Tiga to dig you out!"

Hearing this, Dagu laughed heartily and responded through the communicator: "Haha, Zhao Ming, don't worry! We will be careful and cautious."

Meanwhile, Xin Cheng on the other side seemed a bit impatient and shouted at the top of his voice, "Oh, I know. You're the one who's most worried about this!"

Time passed minute by minute, and before long, Dagu's steady and powerful voice came out again from the communicator: "Now prepare to drive the underground Pipa tank to sneak under Wumen Yueshan. All inspections have been completed, and we can set off!

"Xincheng immediately responded: "Good, very good!" With a loud command, the huge Pipa tank began to start slowly and gradually drove deep into the ground.

Soon, Dagu's steady voice came from the communicator: "We have arrived at the underground cave, and the magma continues to rush towards Wumen Yueshan."

On Feiyan II, after receiving the survey video from underground, Zong Fang made a quick decision: "Okay, fire the cooling beam to freeze the magma instantly."

Dagu responded calmly, "Understood, cooling beam firing." The front of the underground Pipa tank, like a dazzling sapphire, condensed a burst of blue cooling beams, which instantly gushed out. The surging magma in front of it was as if cast under a spell, instantly solidifying into the shape of black lava.

Well done, return to the surface immediately," Munakata shouted loudly in the communication.

Suddenly, the roar of a monster reached Dagu's ears. He practiced diligently, and now his giant's sharp intuition, like radar, quickly took effect. He immediately decided to search and advance.

However, for safety reasons, Munakata did not agree. After all, it was crucial to explore the cause of the abnormal flow of underground magma. After this proposal was approved by Director Sawai, the two continued to move forward courageously.

In the blink of an eye, the detector suddenly issued a shrill alarm, and Dagu shouted loudly: "The reaction of a giant life form has been detected ahead."

"What is that?" Xincheng asked thoughtfully. After Xincheng's eyes widened and confirmed the target, he shouted loudly, "It's Golzan!"

"It is indeed the monster Golzan. It is absorbing the energy of magma underground." Dagu said after confirmation.

After confirming it was Golzan, the communication fell into a deathly silence. "But wasn't Golzan already chopped in half by Long Jiandao and then destroyed?" the captain was the first to break the silence.

"Our knowledge of these ultra-ancient giant creatures is too limited. We still cannot determine whether they survive in the world as individuals, or reproduce in groups like other species. And their reproduction method is also an unsolved mystery. Do they give birth to offspring through live birth like mammals, or do they rely on oviparity to continue the race like cellular animals?" Zhao Ming expressed his own opinion following the question raised by the captain.

However, at this moment, he changed the subject: "However, let's not dwell on these issues for now! After all, the volcanic eruption caused by this monster has already seriously threatened human life and safety. The most urgent task is to find a way to lure this monster to the surface and then destroy it in one fell swoop!"

"Xincheng, Dagu, it's up to you two now! Quickly launch the monster tracker to the area around the monster, but remember, don't rashly provoke it underground! According to the information we previously obtained, this monster named Golzan has the ability to dig tunnels underground and move quickly. So, you have to be extra careful at this moment at the bottom of the volcano. If you are not careful, your lives may be in danger!" Zhao Ming continued to remind with a serious face.

Upon hearing this, the others on the communication channel quickly came to their senses and responded. Zong Fang decisively issued an order: "Everyone, act according to Zhao Ming's plan! After successfully launching the monster tracker, immediately return to the surface and discuss the next specific battle plan together!"

"Understood," the two people in the Pipa tank took action immediately after receiving the order.

"Okay, use the monster tracker." Xincheng fired the monster launcher near the monster's coordinates and immediately retreated in the underground Pipa tank. After a while, the two returned to the surface.

"You really should thank me, otherwise, with Xincheng's stupid personality, he would definitely stick the monster tracker into Golzan's face. Then the enraged Golzan would definitely bury you alive underground," Zhao Ming said with a smile as he looked at the two people coming out of the tank.

"What are you talking about? Who's the idiot?" Xincheng, feeling guilty, rushed forward and said. The moment it saw Golzan, it was indeed ready to launch the monster tracker.

Just as Shinjo was about to argue, "Alright, stop talking nonsense," Munakata said. "The captain has ordered the use of tracking beams to attack the monster Golzan, drawing it out of the ground and destroying it. I'll be on the scene shortly to personally direct the operation. Everyone, come and discuss the battle plan!"
