Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

After enduring the rigorous testing of the Dragon Sword King, the Venerable, within the Dragon Sword Dimension, Da Gu and Zhao Ming finally emerged from that mysterious realm. From then on, they embarked on their own long and arduous journeys of cultivation.

It is a pity that, unlike Dagu and Zhao Ming, Chrismaya does not have the innate genetic talent of a giant as a stepping stone to open the door to power.

If she wants to achieve further breakthroughs, she needs to spend a lot of time studying profound magic and improve her energy level through long-term practice.

Fortunately, however, she has Zhao Ming, a close friend who is always by her side. He patiently teaches Maya magical skills in a unique and mysterious way. Under Zhao Ming's careful guidance, Maya's magical abilities are steadily improving, albeit slowly.

As for what exactly this so-called special teaching method was, it was truly a secret shared between the two of them, unknown to others. But one thing is certain: for both Zhao Ming and Maya, every learning and exchange experience brought them a sense of physical and mental joy and immense comfort.

One day, during one of these peaceful days, Zhao Ming and Maya were strolling through the park, enjoying a rare moment of leisure. Suddenly, Zhao Ming's PDI began vibrating rapidly. It was an urgent message from Dagu.

According to Dagu, TPC stumbled upon a unique coral in the remote Antarctic region, bearing a completely new, unprecedented life form. This mysterious coral was quickly transported back to headquarters, where in-depth excavation and research began.

However, something unexpected happened: the researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering involved in the research suddenly fell ill without warning shortly after coming into contact with this strange life form.

In critical condition, the researchers were rushed to a medical center for emergency treatment. The exact cause of their illness remains unknown. Currently, Di Jing, the lead scientist for handling abnormal events, is diligently investigating the matter...

Dagu thought this matter was very interesting, so he planned to ask him, the high priest of life, to take a look.

"Listen, in order to prevent your lungs from absorbing a large amount of oxygen like a greedy sponge, you should try to breathe repeatedly." Jujing, a rigorous scientist wearing a gas mask, was conducting on-site inspections with an air detector in his hand, and at the same time reminded Xincheng behind him.

In an environment with high oxygen content, the human body is like being submerged in an ocean of oxygen. If one is not careful, they will be drowned to death. They must constantly go out to breathe like a school of fish.

"Ah... I understand, but why?" Xincheng's tone revealed a hint of impatience, as if the gas mask on his face was a heavy mountain, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Didn't you hear what the doctor said just now? There's really nothing we can do about you." Jujing looked at Xincheng, a guy who lacked common sense, shook his head helplessly, and said unhappily.

Then, he cast his gaze back at the instrument in his hand, muttering to himself in confusion, "The oxygen content in this area is ridiculously high. It's like an oxygen carnival. But what exactly is the reason? This phenomenon can't just appear out of thin air!"

"Ah... I found it, it turns out to be this!" A happy smile broke out on Jujing's face, and his eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet, tightly locked on the coral.

It turned out that the high oxygen content in this space was caused by this coral. So, Dijing and Xincheng carefully placed it in a sealed glass container and took it out with them as if it were a precious pearl.

After Zhao Ming had his fill of food and drink and returned to the base, he saw a sealed glass container placed on the table in the center of the command room. The container looked like a white coral reef, dotted with some pink lumps, like flowers blooming on the coral reef.

And Iruma Kei, Munakata, Daiko, Shinjo and others had already surrounded the pink life form, like stars surrounding the moon.

"Is this the life form found in Antarctica? It looks like coral that has never been seen before. Could it be a new species that humans have not yet discovered?" The captain murmured in a low voice. It was obvious that he was not good at knowledge in the field of biology.

"Is this strange thing the culprit that caused this oxygen poisoning incident?" Zongfang looked at the well and asked in confusion.

"It's not certain at the moment, but the possibility is quite high." Jujing responded quickly.

"Hey, why do you guys always like to bring these weird things into the command room? Aren't you afraid of causing an explosion?" Zhao Ming strode in and looked at the group of people from the Victory Team who were curiously surrounding this strange thing, and couldn't help but say!

"Don't worry, we are very careful." Xincheng responded to Zhao Ming with a smile and a relaxed tone.

Zhao Ming listened quietly to Jujing and the others' initial explanation of the mysterious object before them, his eyes focused and sharp. After they finished speaking, he couldn't wait to step forward and carefully observe the object around him.

After a moment, Zhao Ming stood up and said solemnly, "Based on the fact that this thing can create such a high-oxygen environment, I think it is very likely a creature left over from the period of the highest oxygen content on Earth, from the late Carboniferous to the early Permian.

You have to remember that during that period, Earth's atmospheric oxygen content was about 30% higher than it is today! Especially at the end of the Carboniferous period, oxygen levels reached a record high of 35%!

Having said that, Zhao Ming paused for a moment, as if he was imagining the scene of that distant era in his mind.

Then he continued, "During the long history of Earth's evolution, this period is known as the 'Age of Giant Insects.' At that time, terrestrial life enjoyed unprecedented opportunities for development, and various insects and other creatures grew to extraordinary sizes.

It's conceivable that organisms like this that produce high levels of oxygen must have played a significant role in such a unique environment at the time!"

The members of the Victory Team listened silently to Zhao Ming's professional and detailed analysis and inference, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Finally, it was Captain Iruma Kei who broke the silence. She whispered softly, "So that's how it is..." Although her voice was soft, it revealed a sense of sudden enlightenment.

After saying that, he looked at the well digger and said, "Well diggers, immediately investigate this life form. During the investigation, conduct oxygen poisoning!"

"I understand!" Jujing nodded and left the command room with the glassware.
