In the boundless astral plane.

Suddenly, a teleportation spell appeared, and a strange light gate appeared in the void.

"Whew!"

"I've finally found a stable space marker. As the portal opened, a seemingly nonexistent figure shrouded in darkness stepped out, and behind him was a small group of strange-looking guards, numbering six in all, only two of whom were human in appearance, a man and a woman who looked very old. Among the other four people is a half-dragon man, and the other three seem to be some kind of humanoid intelligent creatures that have never been seen before, with pale gray skin, about two meters tall, thin and slender, a large proportion of the head, vertical pupils, no hair, a head covered with a strange cuticle, wearing a delicate armor, and looking quite strong.

"The hosts. ”

"We have deviated from the intended route of the caravan. The ethereal spirit shrouded in the cloak turned respectfully.

Soon.

A voice with a hint of metallic voice rang out, "Hmm." How far are we from our destination?"

The Void Spirit Merchant looked around and said in a low voice, "This is a void that we haven't been to before, because of the spatial turbulence, we have deviated from at least thirteen thousand spatial breakpoints. ”

"Hmm. The metallic creature seemed to be a little tired, and said slowly: "You guys scout if there are any intelligent races and dangerous targets nearby, I have consumed too much power in the spatial turbulence, and now I need to rest for a while." ”

The Ethereal Merchant leaned over and said, "Yes." Master. ”

After saying that, he turned to look at the caravan guards next to him and ordered, "You are responsible for guarding. I'm going to explore if there are intelligent races in this starry sky. ”

The Ethereal Merchant turned his head to look around.

There were quite a few planets in this star field, but the energy force field in the void seemed to be a little strange, and he couldn't help but murmur, "It's weird! Why is the power of this starry sky [entropy] so active?"

"Could it be that there is an [Ancient Abomination] in this starry sky?"

"No, it won't!"

"If there's an ancient abomination, we'll have to leave quickly. ”

A flash of inspiration emerged.

With the emergence of a strange metal ball, a spiritual energy fluctuation quickly spread in all directions, and the Void Spirit Merchant directly appeared thousands of kilometers away with a teleportation spell, and then gently twisted a wisp of sand of stars and looked at it, and said in a low voice: "This starry sky has not been polluted yet!"

"If there is an ancient abomination, it should not be able to enter the astral roaming yet. ”

Hey?

As if sensing something, the Ethereal Spirit Merchant suddenly frowned, and then the whole person turned into a phantom form, relying on the locked space nodes to teleport out more than 100,000 kilometers one after another. The distance between the space nodes of the astral boundary is very far, and a teleportation is thousands of kilometers away, and if you use the power of space vertices, the distance of a space teleportation can reach more than 100 million kilometers. Astral civilizations generally use space vertices as a unit of calculation for distance. (Note: The interior of the planet is rich in matter, and the space nodes are dense.) ）

They are the legendary Astral Merchant!

The minimum requirement to become an Astral Trader is the strength of a high-level legend or above, but in fact, the real Astral Traders all have the ability to cast spells above the professional level of 30+, they are a group of astral explorers, looking for new civilizations in the boundless void, and making some relatively high-end transactions with the top existence of these civilizations.

They usually trade with the most powerful spellcasters, demigods, lichs, demon lords, elder dragons, elemental djinns, etc., and even some powerful Astral Merchants trade with native gods.

"The aura of the Ancient Evil Thing!it's powerful!," the Ethereal Merchant's expression became serious.

Although he is a legendary ethereal merchant with a career level of 27, he has no upper hand in the face of many ancient evils, and the most dangerous enemies roaming the astral realm are not those predatory astral races, but the corpses of the ancient gods floating in the void, the evil gods of the indigenous civilizations, and the ancient evils that survived the previous era.

"Judging from the fluctuations of evil energy emitted, the creature level of this ancient evil creature has exceeded 45+ ......"

"Before you have transformed to the point where you have the ability to travel in the astral plane, you are already so powerful!"

"What the hell is this monster!?"

An eerie desolate planet appeared in front of the Ethereal Merchant's eyes, and none of the other three planets were so remarkable compared to it, although there was one of them that was extremely large and suitable for the survival of intelligent races. In his perception, the entire strange barren planet exuded a blood-red evil aura, in his more than five hundred years of life, the Ethereal Merchant had never seen such a terrifying planet in the astral realm, it was almost like a living ancient evil thing!

Faint energy fluctuations came.

"Is there a wise civilization here?" he teleported closer rather curiously.

But then a large group of dense strange flying insects came out of his sight, numbering about 100,000, with extremely sharp mouthparts, exuding a faint spiritual power field, they could spit out a highly corrosive venom, and the target of the attack was a huge adult astral whale.

"Void Zerg? no! they've been corrupted!" the Void Merchant's heart chuckled.

These weird flying insects exude a trace of evil aura, under their crazy attack, the adult astral whale has been seriously injured, even if it has a creature level of 22+ or more, this astral whale that is more than eighty kilometers long is about to die.

With a mournful roar, the astral whale fell completely.

A number of sarcomas with strange tentacles floated out of the vast expanse of flying insects, clinging to the corpse of the astral whale and burrowing through its skin.

"What are they doing here?" the Ethereal Merchant's expression was full of confusion.

Astral whales are one of the most common creatures in the void, they are descendants of Leviathan in ancient times, but they have only inherited a small part of their bloodline abilities, most adult astral whales are only about a hundred kilometers in size, these astral whales are relatively gentle, as long as they don't take the initiative to attack them, there is basically no danger.

They roam the boundless astral planes, and their main food is void matter and radiant energy.

At this moment, in the sight of the Ethereal Spirit Merchant, more than a dozen strange sarcomas had already burrowed into the huge corpse of the Astral Whale, and then seemed to be lodged in its body and undergoing some kind of internal transformation.
