It has a snake-like body, a pointed head, and many short limbs extending outward that can be used as blades.

The Star Domain Network showed that countless of these giant pythons were flying from all directions.

"Try to break out."

When facing the attack of a giant beast, breaking through is always the first choice.

So in the next half hour, the eight trains and Doris accelerated their sailing speed and broke through the layers of blockades of the giant python.

However, when he was about to go out, Fuyao kept giving the alarm.

The star map opened, showing a large number of red dots suddenly appearing ahead.

More detailed pictures unfolded one after another, filled with giant pythons that could be over 100,000 meters long.

[Star Melter-level giant pythons, the number is unknown]

[This type of python has the ability to travel through space, and it is impossible for us to break out.]

As he was speaking, hundreds of giant Star-Melting Pythons opened their abyssal mouths and spewed energy rays towards the train.

Guimu didn't dare to resist and quickly moved away.

The train activated its electromagnetic shield, but Fuyao noticed it couldn't block it, so it activated its gold plating simultaneously.

Boom boom boom…

The powerful energy bombarded the front half of the train, causing violent vibrations inside the car.

If the threat of shock had not been taken into consideration when the houses were built, there is no telling how much would have been destroyed.

"Is it blocked?"

[The gold plating successfully resists the attack, and the opponent is preparing the next wave of attacks]

“It’s terrible!”

There were also Star Melters in the beast groups we encountered before, but their numbers were very small or they were only leaders, so they were easy to deal with.

But now there are so many giant pythons that they pose a huge threat to the train.

[Should we send our Star Melters to fight?]

"Within the same tier, the size disparity creates a vastly different power gap. For the time being, no passengers will be dispatched. All train main guns will be charged."

Chen An was worried that the Star Melters would not be able to defeat the other side, resulting in large-scale deaths.

The current clones can only reach the fourth level of Star Crossing. If too many Star Fusioners die and return to the fourth level, all previous efforts will be in vain.

During the following charging time, Onuki and Chiaki launched a counterattack, and Doris and the train also released energy outward, barely able to maintain balance.

The next wave of attacks from the giant python came six minutes later, but the train's gold plating had not failed and could still provide defense.

Seeing this, the python paused its long-range attacks.

This shows that they are smart enough to see that the train is currently in a very strong defensive state.

"Have you figured out the number?"

[Within the detection range of the Star Domain Network, there are a total of 6,427 giant pythons, of which approximately 391 are Star Fusioners, and the rest are all Star Crossers. The longest giant python is nearly 300,000 meters long.]

"It's a headache! Breaking through is definitely not an option. We must eliminate them. Fortunately, the giant pythons don't dare to get too close and only threaten from the outside."

Not long after, the extraordinary railguns were fully charged and fired at the same time, aiming at different targets.

The effect was remarkable. Eight giant Star-Melting Pythons were shot through and exploded into a bloody mist that was madly absorbed by the giant trees on both sides.

Chen An breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've always worried that the Transcendent Railgun's level was too low to deal with the Star Melter, but it seems it's still useful now."

The Transcendent Railgun's single-target penetration capability is very strong, and it can be effective even against stronger Star Crossers, but it ultimately has its limits.

Without considering these for the time being, Chen An was more concerned about the changes in the giant python.

After eight giant pythons died suddenly, the remaining ones were frightened and quickly retreated, not daring to get too close.

But they were just retreating, they did not disperse, they were still cruising around, and sent out giant pythons of the star-crossing level to continue attacking.

"Star Crossers are easy to deal with, but the key is the Star Melters. The energy contained in them far exceeds our imagination, so they can fight for a long time."

The Star Melter strengthens cells, and Chen An is very clear about the terrifying degree of energy storage.

He then asked Fuyao to start a military meeting to discuss how to best deal with the giant python.

Not long after the meeting, Chen An received a communication from Ling Yue.

"Brother An, I want to do an experiment, but I'm afraid you won't agree."

Chen An asked: "What experiment?"

Ling Yue said excitedly, "Passenger gigantism experiment."

"Can it be done?" Chen An expressed doubt.

"Of course we can. First, through preliminary experiments, I've discovered the screening mechanism of the giant hormone, which can screen out those who are not suitable for the injection in advance. Second, giantization is only a temporary state and will not last forever, so it will not affect normal life. Third, the success rate of this experiment is over 95%. I don't rule out the possibility that a very small number of people will experience rejection reactions, but I will do my best to ensure their safety. Fourth, they may be able to fight against the giant python."

Chen An frowned. "The threatening giant python is a Star Melter. Even if the passenger becomes gigantic, it will be difficult to deal with. If simply becoming huge can make one powerful, then wouldn't the alloy behemoth be able to go out and fight?"

Ling Yue said, "This is the last point I mentioned. The reason why the Gigantin can make organisms grow to giant size is because the cells in the body of the Transcendent compress a huge amount of energy. Releasing this energy can expand the body. The higher the level, the safer this gigantic process is, so I only want to use Star Melters for this experiment."

Using the Star Melter for experiments was something Chen An had never dared to think about before.

Seeing Chen An remained silent, Ling Yue said, "The success rate mentioned earlier includes those who cross the stars. If it's just those who fuse the stars, the success rate can reach 99%."

Chen An asked: "What about the sequelae?"

"Gigantic growth lasts between two and three hours, after which you'll become weak or comatose. If you want to grow again, you'll need another injection of the Gigantic Growth Potion. However, I don't recommend using it multiple times in a short period of time. It's best to wait at least three days."

“Is there a perfect plan?”

Ling Yue uploaded the plan immediately, and Chen An asked Fu Yao to conduct a comprehensive evaluation.

[The plan is feasible and in line with our interests]

[There are over 500,000 Star Fusioners in the army. Only 500 of them need to be giantized to resolve the current predicament.]

Since Fuyao said it was feasible, Chen An did not hesitate.

"Send the plan to the military and have them select 500 people. The entire process and impact of the experiment must be disclosed to each individual, and participation is entirely voluntary."

Chen An originally thought that not many people would be willing to do so. After all, it was too difficult to strengthen to the level of a Star Fusioner, and no one dared to joke with their lives.

In fact, the number of registrations was very large, reaching 100,000 in half a day.

"Are they really willing? Are they threatened by the military?"

[The failure rate of the experiment is extremely low, and everyone wants to become stronger]

Ling Yue's research shows that creatures that have undergone gigantism will experience special enhancements, with their defense and strength being qualitatively improved. Master, you are an example. After multiple gigantisms, your physical condition will undergo significant changes.

Only then did Chen An remember that he could also grow to giant size. Indeed, as Fu Yao said, growing to giant size would passively strengthen his physical fitness.

"Okay, let's have the first 500 people who sign up for the experiment. No, we need to screen them first, not everyone is suitable. Chu Yang from the military will be responsible for coordinating this project with the laboratory. All research content must be kept confidential, and Ling Yue will be the overall person in charge."
