Jiyuan in Danger, Sam Arrives to the Rescue [7k]
"Surrounded by the Anti-Matter Legion?" Firefly was taken aback upon hearing this.
"It's alright, Miss Firefly, you don't need to be afraid. We're here to protect you." March 7th said to her immediately upon seeing the situation.
"Yes, yes, I believe in you." Firefly nodded vigorously, but at the same time she couldn't help but remind Ji Yuan, "You guys should be careful. The Anti-Matter Legion is terrifying."
"Don't worry, I've already defeated two of the Annihilation Lords, let alone the Anti-Matter Legion Lord of Destruction."
Ji Yuan said with a smile.
"Uh-huh."
Firefly tapped her little head vigorously.
Ji Yuan then bid her farewell and, together with March 7th and Xing, found Topaz, borrowed a spaceship from Topaz, and headed to the train.
Astral Express.
Himeko was making coffee when she saw the Conductor, Pom-Pom, looking angrily outside, and handed him a cup.
"Conductor, would you like a cup of coffee to calm down?"
"As the Conductor of the Astral Express, I still have many things to do and many places to visit, so I won't be drinking this cup of coffee."
"Really? That's a real shame."
As Himeko was speaking, Welt Young returned from outside the train. He lightly dusted himself off and said to Himeko and Pom-Pom, "I've temporarily wiped out the Anti-Matter Legion outside. But I estimate that Anti-Matter Legion from other places will arrive soon."
Himeko nodded. "Yes, so I plan to move the train into the atmosphere of Jarilo first. I have already contacted Hoshi and March 7th, and we are ready to carry out the train transfer operation together."
"Um."
Welt Young nodded.
Dan Heng, who had just returned from the Xianzhou, kept looking outside. At this moment, his gaze paused, and he turned to Himeko and Welt Yang, saying, "Himeko, Mr. Welt Yang, Hoshi and March 7th should have returned."
"Okay, Pom-Pom, you should also start preparing for the train to change course."
Pom-Pom twisted her small body, preparing to take control of the train.
Soon, the small spaceship that flew out of Jarilo docked with the Astral Express. Ji Yuan and the others stepped out of the spaceship.
Upon arriving at the train carriage, Ji Yuan greeted the group of people.
"Hello Himeko, Mr. Welt. And Mr. Dan Heng, it's been a long time."
"Yes, it's been a long time."
Dan Heng nodded slightly indifferently when he saw Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan smiled.
Dan Heng is the epitome of someone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so Ji Yuan didn't care much about his reaction.
"What brings you here?" Himeko walked up to Ji Yuan and asked him kindly. At the same time, she made a cup of coffee and prepared to hand it to him.
However, Ji Yuan, with her sharp eyes, noticed Welt Yang's unbearable expression behind her and the fact that several others didn't have coffee. She immediately understood. Quietly avoiding them, she said to Himeko, "Himeko- neechan, I haven't been feeling well lately. Professor Ruan Mei suggested I drink less caffeinated beverages. I'm really sorry."
"Oh, okay, I understand."
Himeko said with a smile.
"As for my coming here, it's also to help your train successfully transfer. After all, the arrival of the Anti-Matter Legion here is somewhat related to me. If I hadn't defeated two Lord of Destruction with others on the Xianzhou, Lord of Destruction Xingxiao might not have come."
"If defeating an evil enemy is a mistake, then I think our train would rather stay on the wrong track." Himeko expressed her approval of Ji Yuan's actions. "Perfect, now that the train is safe for the time being, I can free up my hands. As for the glory of defeating the Lord of Destruction, I wonder if you could share some with me, Ji Yuan?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately said, "That is certainly what I hope for."

March 7th was anxious, her bow and arrows constantly in her hand. She looked at Himeko and asked anxiously, "Himeko, where are the enemies? When should we prepare to meet them?"
As they were talking, Pom-Pom walked over and said to everyone, "The train transfer is complete. Now it's up to Himeko to complete the voyage."
"Alright." Himeko nodded, then immediately said to the others, "Without further ado, I will now act as the navigator and guide the train's direction. Mr. Welt, maintain the train's defenses. If the Anti-Matter Legion comes again, you all prepare the defenses outside."
"Um."
Ji Yuan nodded.
Then he glanced at Pom-Pom.
The Conductor, Pom-Pom, may look like just a rabbit doll, but Ji Yuan felt a deep sense of urgency to treat it with caution. Its strength was likely immense.
Dan Heng, Xinghe, and March 7th also prepared for battle.
"Dan Heng, we're fighting side by side once again."
Ji Yuan said to Dan Heng with a smile.
"Hmm." Dan Heng was clearly taken aback by Ji Yuan's enthusiasm and didn't know how to respond.
With everyone ready, the train began its journey.
After a rumbling sound, the train began to adjust its direction. The locomotive left the designated track and headed towards the planet Jarilo -VI, which was still mostly frozen in ice.
The entire train carriage then began to shake, and it started to travel at high speed.
Ji Yuan and the others stood at the edge of the carriage, looking out at the starry sky, ready to face the battle that was about to begin.
Just then, a dark mass suddenly appeared in the starry sky. Ji Yuan, with his sharp eyes, recognized them as the Voidranger of the Anti-Matter Legion.
"We are ready for battle."
Xing addressed the group, holding Baseball Bat, and prepared to leave the carriage first.
Ji Yuan and the others followed behind, leaving the train carriage one after another, and then quickly boarded the train.
In this universe, even though March 7th and Xing are relatively weaker among them, they are still rare powerhouses and will not be affected in any way when fighting in outer space.
However, this is the first time that a battle has been fought while standing on a high-speed train.
As soon as Ji Yuan and his group arrived on the train, the densely packed swarm of Voidranger pounced on them.
Dan Heng's eyes narrowed, and he gathered the aura of wind element in his spear. As the Voidranger arrived on the train, he quickly launched an attack, and the violent wind element tore several Voidranger to pieces.
On the March 7th, as the bow was drawn and an arrow was nocked, an ice arrow instantly appeared on the bowstring.
"Come on, let's see how powerful I am."
As she finished speaking, the tightly drawn bowstring was released, instantly forming a rain of arrows in front of everyone. After piercing through the Voidranger, the Voidranger sent them flying off the train.
Several trampling attackers surrounded Xing. Xing took a deep breath and then swung his Baseball Bat forcefully in all directions. The trampling attackers were completely unable to resist Xing's terrifying strength and were sent flying.
One particularly unlucky tramp was attempting to attack Xing's Baseball Bat with its head. A crisp sound rang out as its head was smashed to pieces by Xing's Baseball Bat.
Ji Yuan transformed his Longsword Sky Dome, into a soft sword and swung it at the surrounding Voidranger. The Voidranger were unable to resist and were all cut down by Ji Yuan.
While slashing, he also took out the Jade Abacus with his other hand and threw it at some of the trampling creatures that were flying over.
Several streaks of light flashed by, and Ji Yuan pierced holes in the chests of the tramplers.
With the combined attack of several people, the Voidranger on the train were temporarily eliminated.
"Phew, this job isn't too difficult. Honestly, I still want to deal with some formidable enemies."
On March 7th, I stretched my body and looked around with a bit of pride.
Upon hearing her words, Ji Yuan's expression instantly changed.
"I'm saying, are you really not afraid of metaphysics? It's like how a physician in the Alchemy Commission can't say that he's idle because he doesn't have any patients. If you say that, it means that things will quickly take a turn for the worse."
This guy's mouth is too fast; there's no way to stop him.
"No way, I was just saying it offhand..."
March 7th still wanted to argue, but her voice grew weaker and weaker halfway through. This was because everyone present noticed a dense, swarming Anti-Matter Legion appearing in the path of the Astral Express.
These enemies were all black energy spheres about half a person's height, and they didn't seem particularly strong. However, there were just too many of them. They were much longer than the Astral Express, and Ji Yuan estimated that they were even longer than the entire planet Jarilo.
Seeing this, Dan Heng explained to everyone, "These things are called Baryon. They are two types of small ion traps created by the Anti-Matter Legion to prevent antiparticles from annihilating. However, there are just too many of them."
As he was saying this, Baryon formed a semicircle that surrounded the train.
At the same time, energy is being condensed from the Baryon in preparation for launching it at the train.
Even if each attack is not strong, the number of Baryon at this moment is probably more than 100 million.
Such a concentrated attack poses a significant threat to the train.

"There are so many!"
Seeing this scene, March 7th and Xing couldn't help but swallow hard.
Ji Yuan and Dan Heng couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines when they saw this situation.
"Is this the power of the Lord of Destruction?" March 7th held a bow and arrow, trying several times to aim and scatter the surrounding Baryon, but she couldn't help but give up. Her attack range was simply too small; even if she destroyed a certain number of Baryon, it would be a drop in the ocean.
"What should I do?" March 7th was anxious, and then quickly made contact with the train below.
Soon, Welt's voice came from inside.
"Little March, don't rush."
Hearing Welt Yang's words, March 7th felt a little relieved, and then she anxiously asked him, "Uncle Yang, do you have any ideas for this situation?"
"Hmm..." Welt Young thought for a moment and replied to March 7th, "Perhaps we could try overloading the train engine and then smashing this Baryon group apart. However, doing so would be extremely dangerous. Little March, you two go back to the train first, and we'll prepare to overload the engine now."
"Mr. Welt, the chances of success with this approach are less than 50%," Ji Yuan said to Welt after a moment's thought.
Welt admitted, "... Yes, there are too many enemies ahead. But don't worry, even if the train is damaged, I have a way to ensure your safety."
Ji Yuan thought for a moment, then said to him, "I don't think it's worth risking the train like that. If possible, I'd also like to try to unleash enough attacks to create a hole in these Baryon groups that the train can escape through."
What are your plans?
Welt Young asked him.
Ji Yuan turned to look at Dan Heng and said to him, "Dan Heng, this time I will make you transform into the form of Imbibitor Lunae again."
"Okay, I understand." Dan Heng nodded, but still reminded Ji Yuan, "But even if the two of us Dragon Lord's Mystery, the power we unleash will not be enough."
The Baryon prepared to attack. Ji Yuan and Dan Heng's simultaneous attack was intended to break through the Baryon's energy attack before attempting to create an opening for the Astral Express to pass through. Facing Baryon, the combined energy of Ji Yuan and Dan Heng's High Elder attacks would be somewhat diminished.
"Yes, so we need a third person to help us."
"I understand, this person is me." Xing then reached out and grabbed Ji Yuan's hand. "Dan Heng, Ji Yuan and I just came up with a way to cooperate."
"Really? Then let's give it a try."
Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words and seeing Xing's reaction, Dan Heng agreed.
After seeing the group finish their discussion, Welt Young, who was on the communication device, agreed, "Okay, be careful. And Little March, hurry back to the train."
"Yes, I understand."
March 7th was somewhat disheartening.
She felt very disappointed that she couldn't help the train in the current situation.
Xing patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
March 7th has the temperament of a child; she recovers from sadness quickly, just as quickly. Feeling Xing's comfort, she immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, once I regain my Remembrance, I will definitely be incredibly powerful."
After returning to the train on March 7th, only Ji Yuan and the other two remained outside.
Himeko's voice also rang out from the communication device.
"Please be careful. I will come to pick you up after the train enters the atmosphere."
"Uh-huh."
Ji Yuan and the other two nodded in response.
After shutting down the communication devices, Ji Yuan said to Dan Heng and Xing:
"Alright, now it's time to start preparing the Baryon."
"Good."
Dan Heng closed his eyes and began to prepare. Then, in Ji Yuan and Xing's sight, his entire appearance began to change. His hair changed from short to long, and his clothes changed from a simple trench coat to clothes in the style of the Xianzhou.
