Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Chapter 167: The Attack of the Iluds

Before long, the Victory Team arrived not far from the forest. From afar, they could see a wrecked spaceship, like a wounded beast, lying there quietly, emitting thick smoke from the fall.

Sohna, Shinjo and others quickly launched a search and rescue operation. They entered the spacecraft, began an intense search, and successfully rescued the people inside.

However, of the original two astronauts, only Qian Qingdeng was left. His weak body was like a candle in the wind, and Xincheng was carefully supporting him.

"Agan, where is Shirosaki?" Xincheng's face was full of anxiety, and he asked Qian Qingdeng like an ant on a hot pan.

Zong Fang, Daigu and others on the side also held their breath and waited for the other party's answer.

"Shirosaki..." Qian Qingdeng's face showed a trace of pain, as if it was being gnawed by thousands of ants, making it unbearable to look at. His lips trembled slightly, as if he had a thousand words to say, but it was difficult to speak, and he stopped mid-sentence.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the nearby forest, as if a sleeping giant beast was awakened.

A blue-silver alien with two whip-like tentacles leaped out of the forest like a ghost and rushed towards them at lightning speed, as if to give them a surprise sneak attack.

"Be careful!" Zongfang, Xincheng and others took out their Hepa guns almost at the same time like lightning and quickly aimed at the Ilud man.

At the same time, Shirosaki's voice suddenly rang out in the communication channel of Shinjo and others, like the sound of nature, "Shinjo, kill him with one shot."

"Joniosaki?" When Shinjo heard the familiar voice, he was struck by lightning and his expression was shocked. He immediately prepared to pull the trigger and shoot the Ilud.

"Don't move, Xincheng." Dagu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, stopping him like a flash of lightning, and then cast a magical spell on the Illud man - he fell to the ground unconscious, and the blue-silver alien groaned as if his soul was sucked out, and slowly fell to the ground.

"Da Gu, what are you doing..." Xin Cheng was full of confusion. Why did Da Gu stop him?

"The person who looks like an alien is your friend Jin Shirosaki. He must have been infected by an alien life form and mutated, which is why he looks like this." Da Gu then explained at a very fast speed.

"Is this really the case? Agan." Xincheng's face was full of pain. He looked at his best friend as if struck by lightning, his eyes full of desire for confirmation.

"Captain Dagu, why didn't you let Xincheng shoot him immediately?" Qian Qingdeng finally couldn't help it. There was a hint of pain and regret in his voice, as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.

"What did you say?" Shinjo was struck by lightning, his face full of disbelief. Could it be that the person who asked him to shoot the alien just now was actually Shirosaki himself?

"Yes, the alien who suddenly appeared just now was Jouzaki. We were attacked by alien life forms in the spaceship. They called themselves Iluds.

In an attempt to save me, Shirosaki was attacked by them, and the poison in them turned him into a horrible sight. The reason Shirosaki asked you to shoot him during the communication was because he wanted to die in your hands after he was transformed into the hideous form of an Illud.

Qian Qingdeng slowly told everyone the whole story, and every word hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

"What?" After hearing Qian Qingdeng's words, Zong Fang, Lina, Ju Jing and others were all shocked.

The person who had just pretended to attack them was actually Shirosaki, and Shinjo was full of regret, holding his head in pain. He almost killed his best friend with his own hands.

The scene instantly became silent...

"You are too impulsive. If Xincheng had really fired the gun just now, your friend would be dead!" Dagu said, his voice like a loud bell, breaking the suffocating silence.

"It's useless. This toxin is like a demon, capable of transforming others into Illuds. During the time the spaceship crashed to Earth, Shirosaki was gradually corrupted by this demon, becoming the inhuman, half-ghost he is now!"

Qian Qingdeng was silent for a long time, and then spoke painfully. His voice seemed to be torn apart, making people feel heartbroken.

Dagu said firmly, "That's not necessarily true. I'm a master of magic. Dealing with this kind of infectious life form is child's play!"

He thought to himself that if he couldn't even handle this little problem, Zhao Ming would definitely expel him from the sect.

"Yes..., a lot of strange things happened during the time you left the earth to explore the universe. It’s hard to explain it clearly in a short time, so let Daigu go to see Shirosaki first!" Xincheng reacted instantly after hearing what Daigu said, and hurriedly said to Qian Qingdeng.

Daiko stared at Shirosaki, who had transformed into an Illud, his eyes filled with determination and concentration. He carefully observed every detail of Shirosaki, as if searching for some crucial clue.

A moment later, Daiko began chanting an incantation, casting a holy light purification technique. His voice was deep and powerful, as if imbued with boundless power. As he chanted the incantation, a brilliant holy light burst forth from his hand, enveloping Shirosaki.

Under the expectant gazes of Shinjo and the others, Shirosaki's body began to change under the illumination of the Holy Light. His skin gradually returned to its normal color, and the blue-silver alien features of the Illud people gradually faded.

Not long after, he finally transformed back into human form.

Daiko breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face. He knew that Shirosaki had escaped the control of the Iluds and had regained his humanity.

"Thank you, Daiko." Looking at this magical scene, Qian Qingdeng said gratefully, "If it weren't for you, Shirosaki might never be able to transform back into a human form. Even after death, it can only remain in this ghostly appearance!"

"Yes, Dagu!" Xincheng also said to him excitedly. If it weren't for Dagu, he would have almost made a big mistake today and killed his best friend with his own hands.

Dagu smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. We are friends, aren't we?"

"All members of the Victory Team, immediately assume alert! A mysterious cosmic object is approaching Earth at lightning speed, and is expected to descend within your immediate vicinity in an instant!"

Just when Sohna and the others were about to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the astronaut Qian Qingdeng rescued by Daigu, Iruma Ena's bell-like voice suddenly rang out in the communication channel, like a sharp sword piercing the sky, alerting people.

"Unidentified space object?" Dijing muttered in astonishment, secretly speculating in his heart, "Could it be that other Iluds, after destroying the people who attacked the TPC spaceship, are now tracking us!"

"Ilud people? Commander, please explain the detailed situation at the scene!" In the command room, Jujian Hui heard this and said hurriedly with a serious expression.

Just now, she sent Munakata and others to rescue the two astronauts Qian Qingdeng and his partner from the crashed TPC spaceship Luo Mus.

Nori reported that the main system at TPC headquarters had suddenly come under heavy attack from a mysterious cosmic object. It had only recently returned to normal, and she was completely bewildered by the subsequent situation at the scene...

"Captain, the Iluds are the strange life forms that attacked the spaceship Lomus earlier. They contain a deadly toxin that can assimilate humans.

Astronaut Jin Shirosaki was attacked aboard the spacecraft and unfortunately infected with a toxin, transforming him into an Ilud, but fortunately, he has now been successfully rescued by Daiko's miraculous magic. "Mongakata explained the situation succinctly.

Sure enough, not long after, a dazzling light flashed in the sky near the mountains in area G.

A white tower that looks like a high-tech building in a science fiction movie emits brilliant light, like a pearl falling from the sky, slowly descending from the air.

Finally, it landed steadily in the G area not far from the top of the mountain. A fluorescent light began to flash above it, as if it was transmitting some mysterious signal.

"We are Iludians and have no intention of invading Earth."

In a moment, a signal flashed like a meteor, appearing on the main screen of the TPC base command room, on the televisions in nearby residences in Area G and even other areas.

In addition, on the mobile phones of many ordinary people, a blue-silver alien figure with two braid-like tentacles appeared, and he was chattering about something.

"We have come to Earth in search of creatures that can coexist with us. Our civilization is highly advanced. In our world, there is no sorrow, pain, or anxiety. Everyone is equal and treated equally."

"Humans who wish to coexist with us, please gather in front of this tower before noon." Then, the Ilud propaganda video ended...
