Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

"Hey, wait a minute...isn't this too risky?" Koda and Nakajima looked at the three young men acting so recklessly and quickly reminded them.

"Don't worry, no one can surpass our boss in proving the power of air and life energy. As long as you are not dead, we can save you!" Shinjo and Fudoken replied relaxedly.

Asuka took a deep breath as if nothing had happened: "The air here is so fresh!" He thought to himself: If he could find the machine that created this atmosphere, he would definitely use the Dyna Miracle to shrink it and secretly bring it back.

"Although the instrument shows that there is no problem, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no problem... Hey, both of you listen to me!" Nakajima walked out of the cabin, holding a detector and an oxygen tank with a filter cover on the mouth, following the steps of Ryo and Kariya.

"Wow, it really is!" Liang exclaimed excitedly, "I can actually smell the fragrance of the tree! What kind of magical black technology is this that can transform oxygen into such a sweet smell? It's almost like the magic breath of life!"

As she spoke, she walked out of the cabin and took a deep breath, as if every cell in her body was relaxed at this moment.

Kariya followed suit. He immediately took off his oxygen mask and took a breath, an intoxicated expression on his face: "Wow, this smells really good! It's even fresher than the air on Earth! Nakajima, come and try it too!"

Nakajima seemed a little hesitant. He held the transparent helmet tightly on his head and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, no need. I won't take it off no matter what."

Seeing this, Kariya couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He quickly persuaded, "Nakajima, don't be such a coward! The commander is here, what do you have to be afraid of? What science can't prove, magic can easily do!"

At this moment, Zhao Ming, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up and warned, "Nakajima's caution is actually not wrong. This manufactured oxygen actually contains some substances that paralyze the human visual nerves. Coupled with the unique reflex system and visual deception devices here, it's enough to make people feel that the fake is real."

"Ah... Is everything here fake?" Everyone was so shocked that their jaws dropped and they cried out in shock.

"You will know if you listen carefully..." After Zhao Ming pretended to be mysterious for a while, everyone heard bursts of clear and melodious bird calls coming from the dense forest. However, what was surprising was that although the birds were so close, there was not a single bird flying by.

"We can clearly hear the birds singing, but we can't see even a trace of a bird within our sight." Fei Niao looked around suspiciously and muttered to himself in confusion.

Nakajima grasped the key point in Asuka's words and reminded him, "This is the crux of the matter. How could a planet traveling through the stars, without normal sunlight, possibly nurture such lush vegetation and such a favorable ecological environment? According to the common sense of biological evolution, it's simply impossible."

"Stop chattering away here. If you want to confirm whether they're real, just pick them and you'll know." Liang said, walking towards the surrounding flowers and picking them one by one, examining them carefully. "These flowers look like they've never appeared on Earth, but they feel incredibly real."

"Liang, you..." Kariya looked at her in surprise, as if he had a thousand words to say.

"What are you doing? Collecting plant specimens is part of our investigation work!" Liang continued to work busy in the flower garden, ignoring Kariya's gaze.

"I just want to say that the way you pick flowers is totally inconsistent with your usual image!" Kariya, the "little black guy", began to show off his "special skills" again.

Liang's face, which had been smiling just now, instantly became cold and fierce. She turned her head suddenly and stared at Kariya, "Really?" Before she finished speaking, she swung her fist like the wind. With just one punch, Kariya was knocked out and fell heavily to the ground.

In an instant, everyone's gazes, which were originally arguing, were drawn to them. Liang became a little panicked, especially when she noticed that Zhao Ming was also looking at her.

"I'm not like this usually. It's that guy Kariya who's talking nonsense!" Liang walked towards Zhao Ming timidly. In front of him, she completely lost the image of the tough female man who had knocked out Kariya with one punch.

Zhao Ming looked at Liang's panic, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile, "It's okay, it's cute to show a little temper occasionally." Liang's face turned red instantly, like a ripe apple, and his head lowered even lower.

"Captain Kariya, are you okay? Wake up..." Asuka walked over to Kariya, who had fainted on the ground, with a playful look on his face, and shouted with a gloating look at his misfortune. Not only did he not show any intention of helping Kariya up, but he also kept shaking Kariya's body vigorously as if deliberately teasing him.

Fei Niao secretly sighed in his heart, this history nerd is really naive! Doesn't he know that one of the most unbearable things for a woman is that someone dares to expose her shortcomings in front of her lover?

At this moment, Zhao Ming suddenly spoke up: "Alright, everyone, stop making noise. We're going to change the environment. Now it's time to witness a miracle!"

Zhao Ming quickly launched the Ares Appearance Order. This magical command instantly rewrote the ecological environment and dense jungle of the Melani planet created by the reflection and deception devices.

Everyone stared around nervously, quietly waiting for the change to occur. After a while, the ground began to tremble slightly. At first, it was just a slight shake, but soon it became more and more violent.

As the shaking intensified, the forests, grasslands, blue sky and white clouds were all wiped out by an invisible hand, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Instead, there is a barren land with only gray-white rocks standing on the ground and steep cliffs that are daunting.

The lush forest that was once full of life has now been replaced by the sand unique to the Death Star, and there are dilapidated gullies everywhere, as if it had experienced a devastating disaster.

"Wow, it's really a visual illusion!" Xincheng was stunned as he looked at the environment that changed instantly.

Kariya, awakened by Asuka, sighed in a literary manner, "Is this what they call a thought for heaven, a thought for hell?"

"Look over there!" Zhao Ming suddenly pointed to a spot not far away, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on it. When their sights reached that area, everyone was horrified.

In the distance, a devastating scene unfolded: numerous spacecraft of all sizes, wrecked beyond belief, lay piled in a chaotic heap. Some were twisted and deformed like crumpled paper, while others lay in tatters, as if lamenting the brutal battles they had endured.

Among the wreckage of the spacecraft, the skeletal bodies of aliens lay scattered about. These aliens varied in appearance: some were tall, with slender limbs covered in strange patterns; others were short and stocky, with multiple twisted limbs, resembling strange monsters.

The surrounding ground was pitted and covered with traces of explosions. Smoking debris remained on the charred earth, like the ruins of an interstellar war.

Everyone stood there in a daze. The scene before them was extremely shocking. What kind of changes had this strange planet experienced?

"I told you this place is a carefully set trap!" Xincheng was the first to come to his senses and shouted at the top of his voice.

Nakajima sighed heavily and said with emotion, "How could a planet suddenly appear in the universe with a perfect ecosystem? All we have is the cruel law of the jungle. If such a thing really happened, it must be a trap carefully laid by aliens!"

Zhao Ming sighed and said, "How can a planet with a perfect ecosystem be without life? This is the natural law of survival of the fittest. From now on, you should just focus on terraforming Mars and stop dreaming about these unrealistic things!"

He then ordered, "Nakajima, Kariya, and Fudoken, you all return to your fighter planes and stand by immediately, ready to attack at any time. Shinjo, Asuka, and Ryo will continue to explore the situation below.

Now that we're here, we should live up to the principle that a thief never leaves empty-handed. Since they're trying to trick us, we should make them pay for it with nothing left!

"Understood!" Everyone immediately began to act...
