One is in the light, the other is in the dark.
Terran only lasted four days and had to leave without knowing whether his efforts were in vain.
Chen An did not go out immediately, but waited for seven days before leaving.
During these seven days, he conducted many secret examinations on Lina and confirmed that her body had undergone many changes due to the fusion of the divine object, but more changes had not yet appeared.
"Where should we go?"
Returning to the river, Lina looked confused.
Chen An said: "Just follow the river."
The river was not flowing fast, but because he was often delayed on the road, more and more energy crystals were rushing from upstream.
Collecting energy crystals became a daily routine, but Chen An’s main hobby was hunting star beasts.
With Lina, his efficiency increased because Lina has control ability.
She can release pure green super energy rays, which can bind the star beast like a giant vine, making it unable to move for a short period of time.
Chen An can take away the energy core within twenty minutes.
"Besides absorbing super energy, does this thing have any other uses?" Lina was very interested in the energy core.
Chen An said: "No results have been found yet. How much energy can you absorb every day?"
"No special supply is needed, I can just absorb it naturally. Because the time it takes to create the divine fruit is fixed at over two thousand years, it won't be shortened just because I absorb more energy on a certain day."
"Let me know if you need anything."
The journey from then on was simple, with only occasional encounters with other Galactus.
As long as they are not acquaintances or people who are alone, Chen An basically will not contact them, after all, there is no benefit value in it.
We have been wandering like this for four years. No one knows where we are now. We can only follow the river forward, hoping to see different scenery or leave the river.
Something unusual happened that day.
[The number of Galactus ahead is increasing]
Unlike others, Chen An focused on collecting resources along the way, so his travel speed was not fast.
Most star-eaters are more interested in finding a way out, so they rarely provoke the fish-like star beasts with strong defenses.
"What are they doing?"
Some people either find a place to meditate, or call friends to join them in a group, or try to go to the sides. From all of this, we can conclude that there is an obstacle directly ahead.
As for what the obstacle is, we need to get closer.
As we got closer, many familiar faces appeared within the detection range.
Lucia, Yaheng, Tailun...
They cruised with their teams within a certain range and did not dare to move forward.
Not long after, Fuyao obtained the obstacle information.
[It was a multicolored giant snake, coiling thirty million kilometers ahead. It had a billion heads, and any creature that dared to approach would be killed by it.]
"Blocked all the paths?"
[Yes, a Galactus tried to circumvent it from the side, but was forced back by the giant snake. It seems that it must be killed at this point.]
"We continue to move closer and strive to obtain a clear picture."
Although he had to get closer, Chen An tried to stay on the edge and did not want to come into contact with big forces like the Shenbao Clan or the Shenpo Clan.
When the distance is sufficient, Fuyao obtains the scene picture.
"This is too big!" Lina exclaimed.
I don’t know how long the snake is, but it’s covered in all colors and you can tell at a glance that it’s highly poisonous.
Its upper body coiled on the surface of the river, and countless heads extended radially in all directions, even covering an area of 100,000 kilometers above the sky.
Its other parts are in the river, coiled around a huge energy crystal mountain.
Nengjing Mountain took the shape of a long blade, blocking the entire river channel.
Even though Chen An had seen many giant creatures, he was still frightened when facing this giant snake.
"Can we travel through it?"
"It's unlikely, because the giant snake's attack range includes our travel distance. It can sense any movement, and even Galactus has experimented with it at his own risk."
[Reminder to the owner: it is collecting energy crystals]
Chen An looked at the energy crystal mountain range under the giant snake, and continuously gathered the energy crystals rushing in from upstream, making it bigger and bigger.
The result is that it will never lack super powers.
Lina said in a deep voice, "With an adequate supply of energy crystals, it might not leave. In other words, if we don't want to be trapped and die upstream, we must kill it or drive it away."
Chen An did have a plan. He said, "Giant creatures always have shortcomings. They are not fast enough and it is difficult for them to take the overall situation into consideration. As long as we destroy enough snake heads, we will have space to pass through."
"But judging by the control of the giant snake, we need to destroy at least half of its heads. Now we're worried that the other Galactus won't take action. We can't rely on ourselves alone."
Chen An smiled and said, "There are many people who are more anxious than us, so don't worry about it. If you have this time, you might as well collect more energy crystals."
…
After going through a lot of trouble, the leaders of the major forces finally gathered together for a dialogue.
Yaheng of the Shenyuan Clan spoke first: "We must get through, otherwise we will be trapped here. According to previous tests, neither detours nor shuttles are effective. Do you have any other plans?"
Lucia continued, "The giant snake is extremely powerful. A few Galactus can't deal with it alone. We must work together."
Terran: "And then? How do we deal with it? This giant creature can't be judged by common sense. Its strength is absolutely beyond measure."
"Whether the intensity exceeds the standard is irrelevant; the key is to find a way to leave."
"I think that since the giant snake's defense is too strong to attack, we can first destroy the energy crystal mountain range below to force it to leave or make way."
"You're just overthinking it. The giant snake has so many heads that it's not a toy. It won't stop us from destroying the Energy Crystal Mountains. I think we should start from outside the river."
The discussion lasted for a long time without any conclusion until someone came up with a reasonable solution.
"You should have noticed that the main body of the giant snake does not move on a large scale. It has practically nailed itself to the Energy Crystal Mountain Range. The only part that truly moves is its head, which is also its only known means of attack and defense. We just need to destroy enough of the giant snake's heads to get through, right?"
They and the giant snake had no hatred to fight to the death, as long as there was a way out, it would be fine.
This plan has widespread support, but there is a problem: there are not enough people.
Tai Lun said: "At least half of the snake heads must be destroyed."
Lucia: "We need more help. Don't act without 100,000 Galactus. I'm worried about more unpredictable changes."
"Agreed, wait for someone!"
After waiting for seven months, 100,000 Star Devourers were finally gathered.
As the commanders of the major forces issued orders, 100,000 Star Devourers dispersed everywhere to attack the giant snake.
But they will not get too close, but instead enter the giant snake's attack range to provoke it, waiting for the snake head to attack actively.
…
"Chen An, aren't we going to join in?" Lina also wanted to participate, after all, such grand occasions were rare.
They were not in the macro universe at this time, but in the river at the edge.
Chen An said: "Let's see the situation. If the plan goes well, we will take action."
