Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

On the large screen in the control room, Kariya expertly controlled the Victory TBM, continuously breaking through huge blocks of rock and slowly advancing downward. As the TBM went deeper, the image on the screen became increasingly blurry, but this did not dampen the anticipation of everyone in the control room.

"It's incredible!" Midorikawa Mai exclaimed, "I never imagined that there would be such a large-scale relic on the back of the moon." Her eyes were shining with excitement, and she couldn't wait to unveil the mysterious relic.

Zhao Ming pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Mr. Mai, in fact, we humans are still far from fully understanding the history of Earth, let alone the history of the universe beyond Earth."

Koda immediately responded, "That's right! This excavation of the Royal Valley ruins can be said to be the beginning of a new chapter in humanity's exploration of history beyond Earth.

"With you and Kariya, two experienced archaeologists, in charge, and with the Super Victory Team's advanced machinery, I believe we will be able to solve this mystery that has been bothering us today!" His voice was filled with confidence and enthusiasm.

Fei Niao listened, his heart filled with envy and yearning. He couldn't help but say eagerly, "Moon exploration! I want to go too!" His eyes were fixed on the big screen, as if he could see through it to the distant and mysterious far side of the moon.

"Asuka, do you think they're going sightseeing? This guy is really something!" Nakajima listened to Asuka's remarks and started to complain. They weren't going there to have fun, but to work!

"Let me remind everyone, don't have too much expectation for the ruins outside the earth, or you might dig out a big dumpling!" Zhao Ming looked at the people around him who were eager to try, and poured a basin of cold water on them without mercy.

Liang was immediately surprised and asked, "Zongzi? Do you think it's possible that the aliens are not completely dead?"

Zhao Ming nodded and explained, "Take the former Kyrieloids and Daisis for example. Although their bodies died, their spirits remained intact within their bodies, and they were able to manipulate humans through soul possession."

Xibi Gangzhu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "That makes sense. Past history tells us that when dealing with these alien life forms, we must be extremely vigilant."

He then warned in the communication: "Kariya, in short, we must proceed with caution during this exploration operation. If we find something wrong, we will retreat immediately."

"Understood!" Kariya continued driving the Victory TBM forward. Not long after, he heard a sudden, miserable cry. The sudden sound instantly blurred the video feed.

Kibi Gosuke was sitting in his seat, originally quite calm, but after hearing the scream, he could no longer sit still. He stood up from his seat and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Time ticked by, and finally, Kariya's message arrived. "I didn't expect we'd come in from a cliff! Fortunately, the Victory Tunnel Boring Machine wasn't seriously damaged. We've now entered a wide area and are ready to begin our investigation."

Xibi Gangzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, I'm glad you're okay. The underground of the moon is still an unknown area, so you must be extra careful!"

Kariya and the others exited the Victory Tunnel Boring Machine and stepped into the tomb passageway of the Royal Valley ruins beneath the moon. Before them lay a vast cavern several dozen meters high, flanked by towering serpentine stone statues like guardian deities, stretching all the way to a massive gray stone gate in the distance.

Kariya and his three companions walked carefully into the gray stone door. However, the moment they stepped into the stone door, the infinite signal began to be affected and became intermittent.

Due to signal problems, they were unable to maintain stable contact with the outside world and could only wait for Kariya and others to complete their survey work before contacting them again.

"I have a bad feeling. Whenever something like this happens, something bad will happen!" Zhao Ming's face was extremely solemn, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

In contrast to everyone else, Fei Niao acted very relaxed, even laughing and joking, "No way, it can't be that weird, right? Could it be that he's really resurrected?"

Kibi Gosuke was very dissatisfied with Asuka's careless attitude. He glared at Asuka and immediately issued an order: "Contact Kariya immediately and have them lead the survey team to retreat immediately!"

"Understood!" Mai quickly followed the order and tried to contact Kariya. However, no matter how she called, there was no response. She continued to call anxiously: "Captain Kariya, please answer! Captain Kariya..."

Seeing no one responding, Koda finally lost his patience. He stood up, grabbed his helmet, and prepared to rush to the hangar and fly his fighter to the ruins of the Valley of the Kings.

Just when Koda was about to rush out of the room, "Wait a minute, Captain Koda!" Zhao Ming stopped him.

Zhao Ming acted decisively and issued a new order: "Ma Yi, contact Captain Ji Feng at the Carlo Base. I've already told them to send someone to search the Wang Family Valley!"

"Yes!" Mai immediately followed Zhao Ming's instructions and prepared to contact the Carlo base.

Just as Mai was about to dial the Carlo base's communication, Kariya's face suddenly appeared on the screen again. However, due to severe interference with the communication, the signal was very unstable, and Kariya's voice was intermittent and stuck on the wireless communication, making it very difficult to hear.

"This is Kariya..." On the big screen, Kariya looked like a soulless zombie, his face expressionless.

Kibi Kosuke asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, there's just a minor problem with the communicator, and the measuring device doesn't seem to be working properly either. Now we can only return early." After narrating everything, Kariya immediately hung up the communication.

Xibi Gangzhu looked at Zhao Ming and Liang with a serious expression and a sharp gaze, and asked, "Do you two experts have any insights?"

Zhao Ming stroked his chin, his expression grave. "Kariya's condition is abnormal. The malfunction of the communicator and measuring device might just be a cover-up. There must be a huge, unknown danger hidden within the Royal Valley. Perhaps, as I previously speculated, the spirit of an old idiot has possessed him."

Liangye nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement: "I agree with Zhao Ming's opinion. I'm afraid Kariya and the others are in deep trouble."

Kibi Gosuke made a decisive move, stating firmly, "At all costs, have the people from the Caro base immediately enter the ruins and search for Kariya and the others. Meanwhile, everyone, be on high alert and ready for battle."

Not long after, searchers from the Caro base discovered Kariya and his companions beneath the ruins of the Royal Valley. They appeared to be unharmed, but Kariya had secretly placed the items he had taken from the Royal Valley onto a transport plane and was returning to TPC headquarters in a fighter jet.

Carlo Base immediately relayed this news to Zhao Ming. "It seems my guess was correct. That old bastard has indeed possessed Kariya. They're trying to play Mission Impossible with us modern people, but they're really underestimating us!"

"Okay then! Let's set a trap for him and let them experience how powerful modern people are." Liang said with a smile, and at the same time, he and Zhao Ming clapped their hands in tacit understanding. The two notified the Black Storm Team and took action immediately. This kind of supernatural event was what they were best at.

Soon after, Kariya arrived at TPC headquarters in the Alpha, attempting to hide the items he had brought back from the Royal Valley in the car and bring them into the core area of ​​the base...
