Do not be careless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the two college students’ words are true? Does that mean there are two monsters in Wuchui Mountain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add to that the [Wu] in the snow mountain… Is this another triple attack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after realizing the gravity of the situation did the members of Victory Team grasp its seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are monsters inside the mountain, and monsters outside it—this time, they are likely to face a pincer attack from multiple monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xitiao Ning, as commander, immediately devised a plan: “Take them on one by one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ando: “Deal with the [Wu] first. Fly the Feiyan-1 around the snow mountain several times—I don’t believe it can escape radar scanning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone agreed. On their way to the Feiyan-1’s docking point, they encountered Xiao Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had fallen into a pit dug by other children, who pelted her with snow and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out of here! You monster’s child!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s all your fault! Tourists have stopped coming here. My mom’s shop isn’t making money anymore, and my allowance’s been cut!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Mei immediately drove the bullying children away, pulled Xiao Xue out of the pit, and brushed the snow off her cotton coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—you’re going to fight the [Wu], right?” Xiao Xue asked, her eyes red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xitiao Ning knelt down, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: “A monster is a monster. It must be destroyed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xue snatched her hand away and ran back to the small cabin left to her by the charcoal-burning old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bed lay a plastic Seven toy—the same toy the charcoal-burning old man had once bought her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seven, why does everyone treat us like this? We haven’t done anything wrong. I just want to live here in peace!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xue picked up the Seven toy and, unable to bear the injustice any longer, burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single tear fell onto the Seven toy, and it trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, two Feiyan-1s took off and began scanning for traces of the [Wu] with radar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the co-pilot’s seat behind Xitiao Ning, Hui Mei felt uneasy. She hesitated before speaking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The [Wu] might be the reincarnation of Xiao Xue’s mother, who died fifteen years ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps the mother’s spirit still lingers beside Xiao Xue, watching her grow, wanting to protect her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Zhong immediately snapped: “Stop imagining things. Victory Team operates on science. Souls have no basis in reality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xitiao Ning also said: “Monsters have no place in the human world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Mei said nothing. She gazed out the window at the snowflakes dancing like blades, thinking of her father, her thoughts drifting far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ando’s surprised voice came through: “What’s going on? The snow mountain is fogging up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the mysterious snow mountain, mist spread like a ghost, silently engulfing everything in haze and chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold wind swept through, emitting a low, eerie howl that stirred unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instruments began malfunctioning. Shan Zhong: “Radar is offline—it’s the magnetic fog of Wuchui Mountain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, this thing actually came looking for them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ando: “Wait—I think I just heard the monster’s cry that Qi Ming mentioned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xitiao Ning’s tone changed: “Something’s moving in the fog!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a giant claw shot out of the mist like a hook, lashing toward the Feiyan-1 piloted by Xitiao Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s Sadora’s [Extendable Claw]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xitiao Ning yanked the control stick upward, dodging the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another monster!” Taidun burst from the fog, snarling and thrashing wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xitiao Ning: “Claw-like limbs, a flat, rounded head… So both college students were telling the truth—they saw different monsters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ando operated the barely functional instruments to scan the two monsters’ exteriors: “They bear burn marks. Who did this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me, of course—not Zhuge Liang?” Qi Ming’s voice came through the comm channel: “Interacting with monsters isn’t bad. At least monsters are always monsters—but sometimes, humans aren’t human.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ando and Shan Zhong instantly recognized the voice but held their tongues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xitiao Ning noticed the monsters’ wounds clustered around the eyes and abdomen—vital points—and realized Qi Ming was no ordinary soldier: “Report your status.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming’s report was brief: “I harassed them for hours. They couldn’t touch me, so they fled their territory and headed to the other side of the mountain range.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, everyone else fell silent on the channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did Qi Ming’s words really mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mosquito flies into your room, buzzing loudly and sucking your blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two adults use every trick they have—and still can’t kill the mosquito—so they abandon the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would believe that? Is this even humanly possible? This has to be exaggerated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Mei believed a little. Judging by the monsters’ frantic behavior, they’d clearly endured cruel torment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Unfortunately, my firepower was insufficient. I used up all my Victory Hyper Gun rounds and still couldn’t eliminate them. It’s your turn now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t transform, hoping the two Feiyan-1s could destroy the two severely weakened monsters and save his transformation energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shan Zhong and the others aren’t acting insane, their combat effectiveness is reliable—and Xitiao Ning is the top pilot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is reckless! You should’ve reported this first!” Xitiao Ning was both shocked and furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming drove the two monsters of Wuchui Mountain toward what may be the [Wu]’s nest—this could ruin their “pick them off one by one” plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xingtuan, who had been listening in on the team channel, immediately ordered Hui Mei to issue an emergency alert, evacuating nearby villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Sadora is the source of the magnetic fog. That environment can’t connect with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, this was a good thing—communicating with their bizarre minds was more complicated than fighting monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added: “I checked the locator earlier. The nearest human village isn’t close. Firing here won’t endanger civilians.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they fail, I can still transform into Ultraman to cover them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xitiao Ning didn’t know this. She deeply resented Qi Ming’s unilateral action, which disrupted her rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Zhong and Ando also realized the gravity of the situation—but with the enemy at hand, they’d settle accounts with him later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Qi Ming, rushing toward the battlefield, asked: “Hui Mei, has anyone else entered Wuchui Mountain recently?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Mei: “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming rubbed his chin: “That’s strange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a prickling sensation on his back—as if something was watching him from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming scanned his surroundings. Aside from mottled tree shadows and occasional, unidentifiable bird calls, all was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he stepped forward, the feeling of being watched returned—like icy tentacles reaching for his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion he’d caused didn’t just draw out Taidun—it had awakened something sinister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1123,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","69e3b625a8da07da2b9cd2a90b9fb1e3e964b746377b58bb6b53485802a69782","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-11","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-9",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
