Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Chapter 274: The Strange Small Demonic Bird - Zoga

Due to the extremely poor communication signal in this area, Munakata decided to stay in the cabin and closely monitor the surrounding situation, while trying to contact the outside world through limited communication methods. Meanwhile, Horii and Shinjo carefully entered the cabin in pairs to conduct a search operation.

At that moment, the entire ship seemed exceptionally silent, as if enveloped in an eerie atmosphere. The deck was deserted, not a soul in sight. Digjing and Xincheng, weapons in hand, cautiously advanced along the passage, each step carefully taken. Suddenly, a deep, terrifying roar erupted from the depths of the cabin.

Zong Fang sent instructions through the communication equipment, his tone serious and steady: "You two must be careful!" After receiving the order, the two nodded in understanding, tightly gripped their weapons, and slowly approached the source of the sound with light but firm steps.

Each step was taken with the utmost caution, as if on the edge of a knife, fearing that even the slightest noise would alert the unknown being. Finally, after turning a narrow corner, a large, indistinct figure appeared in front of them.

As the distance gradually shortened, the figure became clearer and clearer - it was actually a small Zoga that could transform into the form of Captain Saeki!

The Zoga stood there silently, as if premeditated, waiting for someone to fall into its trap. When its blood-red eyes caught sight of Xincheng and Jujing, a fierce and brutal light instantly blazed.

Facing such a dangerous enemy, Xincheng showed no fear. He flashed forward like an arrow from a bowstring. At the same time, the laser gun in his hand shot out dazzling beams of light, shooting straight at Zoga, trying to contain this ferocious guy.

Meanwhile, Jujing didn't blindly follow Xincheng into battle. Instead, he quickly ran aside, searching for the key area that could control Zoga's movements. After all, only by finding its weakness could they more effectively defeat this formidable enemy.

At this moment, Zoga was enraged by Xincheng's attack. He spread his huge wings, brought up a gust of wind, and swooped down on Xincheng with the force of thunder. However, Xincheng was agile and easily dodged Zoga's fierce attack with a simple sidestep.

But before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Zoga launched a new, even more ferocious attack. In a flash, Dijing, who had been waiting nearby, seized the opportunity and immediately unleashed his special skill. He chanted a spell, waved his hands, and magical power surged, and a dazzling golden light emanated from him.

This golden light transformed into an indestructible diamond shield, firmly protecting Shinjo, Horii, and Munakata. At the same time, the powerful force contained in the diamond shield directly rebounded the aggressive Zoga, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xincheng decisively raised his hand, muttering something. With a low rumble of thunder, a ball of energy, gleaming with purple lightning, condensed and formed in his palm.

In the blink of an eye, the ball of energy turned into an extremely sharp lightning spear, which rushed towards Zoga who had just climbed up with the power of destroying the world.

With a loud "boom", the lightning spear hit Zoga accurately. Suffering such a heavy blow, Zoga could no longer support his huge body and fell to the ground...

"Xincheng, it was a close call just now!" Jujing said as he slowly retracted the Diamond Shield in his hand. Beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead slid down his cheeks. It was obvious that he had not yet fully recovered from the thrilling scene just now.

"Thanks to Zhao Ming for officially giving us this thing after we defeated Gatanjea last time. If it weren't for it, I'm afraid we would have been eaten alive by this horrible thing today!"

Xin Cheng nodded and agreed, "Yeah, it's scary just thinking about it." He quickly put away his Lightning Energy and squatted down, carefully observing the monster in front of him. He saw that the monster looked like a Zoga, but was much smaller than the ordinary Zoga.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. A strange human face slowly emerged from Zoga's chest. The face looked very familiar - it was Captain Saeki from the previous investigation team!

Captain Saeki's face was expressionless, his eyes were empty and lifeless, and he mechanically uttered a sentence: "The darkness of destruction has resurrected!" As soon as the words fell, the face disappeared without a trace in an instant like smoke.

"Could it be... this monster ate everyone in the investigation team?" Dijing muttered to himself, his eyes wide open in disbelief. The bizarre scene before him was beyond his comprehension. Not only could this creature transform into a human form, but its behavior was as mysterious and unpredictable as a legendary monster.

Just as Xincheng and Jujing were plunged into shock and fear, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "This is because these Zoga are formed from the vengeful spirits of countless giants who died in these ruins tens of millions of years ago. That's why they are so strange and unpredictable."

The two of them looked in the direction of the voice as if they had telepathy, and were surprised to find that the person who spoke was Captain Iruma Kei, whom they had always trusted.

"Captain..." Jujing and Xincheng turned around suddenly as if they had been electrocuted, their excitement beyond words.

Iruma Hui stood there solemnly, as steady as a statue. She made a decisive decision: "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. This place is full of dangers, and it is not advisable to stay for long."

After saying this, she led the two of them back at lightning speed. However, just as they were halfway there, the air around them suddenly became icy cold, and darkness surged in like a tide, as if to swallow them up.

At that moment, countless small Zoga suddenly appeared in the sky, swarming towards them like a plague of locusts. Iruma Kei exclaimed, "Oh no! Those strange birds have revived and are surrounding us again!"

The three of them hid in a cramped cabin on the ship like frightened birds, with the cabin door closed. They looked anxiously through the round window at the swarm of strange birds outside.

"Damn it! There are so many strange birds like a solid wall. There is no way to escape." Xincheng's face was full of anxiety. He looked at the flock of birds outside that almost covered the sky, and he was extremely worried.

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to give it a try," Jujing said resolutely, gritting his teeth. He looked towards Xincheng and raised the Diamond Essence in his hand, instantly forming an indestructible golden shield that tightly protected the three of them.

Xin Cheng was not to be outdone, and immediately took out the Lightning Element, "There's no other way. I'm going to die anyway, so let's just go for it! I don't want to die trapped on this broken ship."

Protected by the shield formed by the two super components, the three of them moved as fast as an arrow, and countless Zogas rushed towards the rock-solid golden defense shield like moths to a flame.

The Diamond Shield is indeed as solid as a rock and indestructible, but the magic consumption is also huge. The magic power in the well-digging body is rapidly dissipating like water bursting a dam, and the energy value of the shield begins to become shaky and precarious.

Just when Zoga's second wave of attack was about to hit them like a storm, a dazzling golden light flashed like the dawn. It turned out that Zhao Ming arrived in time like a god descending from heaven.

He waved his hands, and powerful magic power surged out like surging waves, instantly forming an indestructible golden barrier that firmly blocked Zoga's fierce attack.

"Hurry up, I'll hold them back!" Zhao Ming's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing through the sky.

Xincheng was ecstatic and said excitedly, "Zhao Ming, you are like a god sent from heaven!"

"Stop talking nonsense and go away! Don't hold me back here!" Zhao Ming waved his hand impatiently, as if he was driving away a group of annoying flies.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!" Iruma Kei and others did not hesitate and immediately rushed towards Feiyan No. 2 where Zongfang was like an arrow.

Zhao Ming was alone, like a giant standing tall, proudly facing the numerous Zogas, with no fear on his face. A thrilling battle was about to break out.
