Chapter 2423 Expensive Soul Illusion Silver! The Mysterious s.p.a.ce Realm s.p.a.ce! (1)
Several dozen light-years away from the Five Burial Stars, there lay a desolate planet, uninhabited and remote.
Controlling the s.p.a.cecraft, Round Ball guided its descent onto this isolated celestial body. w.a.n.g Teng kept the s.h.i.+p and, together with his companions, lay in ambush, awaiting their target.
This planet was unsuitable for habitation, its surface shrouded in various dust storms, creating an atmosphere of desolation and harshness.
Yet, Round Ball deliberately chose this desolate planet.
According to Payne"s suggestion, he and other universe pirates often rendezvoused on similar planets.
It was for their discretion. Such planets provided ample concealment.
Universe pirates always acted cautiously, often choosing such desolate planets for rendezvous and exchanges to avoid detection by others.
For Tracy, Payne, and others, this was routine, but for w.a.n.g Teng, such desolate planets were rare. However, he had ventured into even more perilous ones, so he remained undisturbed.
Moreover, for martial warriors like them, the simple environmental challenges posed by such planets were negligible.
After waiting for approximately two hours, a s.p.a.cecraft broke through the sandy layers surrounding the planet and descended into its depths.
"They"re here!" Round Ball announced.
w.a.n.g Teng activated his Real Eye, a golden light flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes as he observed the situation inside the s.p.a.cecraft, stating, "There are a total of 11 warriors, three heaven-stage martial warriors, and eight cosmos-stage martial warriors. Among them, one universe-stage martial warrior is at the ninth level, while the other two are at around the third level. I"ll leave them to you."
With that, he looked towards Tracy, Payne, and the others.
The group was astonished. w.a.n.g Teng stood before them, but how did he accurately discern the strength of the martial warriors inside the s.p.a.cecraft?
Even the most advanced detectors might not achieve such precision.
The s.p.a.cecraft before them was at the heaven level. To discern the situation with such clarity, one would need at least a universe-level detector.
However, considering w.a.n.g Teng"s status, possessing a universe-level detector seemed inconsequential.
"Yes!" They didn"t dwell on it much. Despite knowing that the martial warriors were from the Black Skull Universe Pirates gang, they dared not disobey w.a.n.g Teng"s command and promptly responded in unison.
In the distance, as the s.p.a.cecraft landed, Payne floated in the air to greet them.
Before long, the pig-human race martial warrior they had seen on the screen emerged from the s.p.a.cecraft, laughing heartily as he approached Payne.
"Chad, long time no see!" Payne embraced the pig-human race martial warrior, smiling warmly.
"Where"s the booze? I rushed over just for your good wine," Chad exclaimed.
"Haha, it"s all prepared. Follow me." Payne laughed heartily.
The two flew towards the valley below, where w.a.n.g Teng and the others were hiding. It was a secluded valley surrounded by towering mountains, making it difficult to escape once surrounded.
However, w.a.n.g Teng didn"t rush to take action. Instead, he watched the two approaching from afar with a smile.
Once Payne landed in the valley, he brought out various delicacies and wines, causing the pig-human race martial warrior to salivate uncontrollably.
This pig-human race martial warrior was powerless against various delicacies and wines. Therefore, he didn"t think much of it.
If it were someone else, he might have been more cautious, but Payne was his lifesaver, and they often met. They had an excellent relations.h.i.+p.
He never would have imagined that someone who had once saved him would now plot against him.
For martial warriors, it was essential to have a variety of tools and facilities for outdoor living. Especially for universe pirates like them, who often roamed the void and sought refuge on uninhabited planets, having such tools and facilities was crucially important, and they were well-prepared in this regard.
At this moment, Payne set up a semi-open tent in the valley, capable of s.h.i.+elding against external sandstorms while providing a view of the surroundings. Inside, it resembled a luxurious dining hall, exceedingly comfortable.
It could be said that with the advancement of the universe"s technology to such an extent, every aspect has become extremely convenient.
"Here, this is the Jade Liquor I s.n.a.t.c.hed from that wealthy merchant!" Payne poured a gla.s.s of wine for the other, and instantly, a strong aroma wafted through the tent, permeating the entire s.p.a.ce.
"Wow!" Chad took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with surprise as he gazed at the amber-like liquid before him. "It"s Jade Liquor. Payne, you"re really lucky."
"Hehe, lucky indeed! Lucky indeed!" Payne chuckled, raising his gla.s.s. "Come, let"s drink together."
"I can"t wait." Chad immediately raised his gla.s.s, clinking it hard against Payne"s before taking a hearty gulp.
This pig-human race martial warrior had a big mouth. The wine in the gla.s.s was not enough for him in one sip, and it vanished instantly.
"More, it"s not enough." Chad squinted his eyes, seeming to enjoy it immensely, urging for more.
"No need, one gla.s.s is enough." Payne smiled.
"What do you mean? Payne, when did you become so stingy? It"s just a few sips of wine. Bring more quickly," Chad urged impatiently.
Just then, the sound of footsteps approached, and several figures walked into the tent.
"What he means is that giving you more to drink would be a waste," w.a.n.g Teng chuckled.
"And who are you?" Chad frowned.
"Who I am doesn"t matter. What matters is, you"re my prisoner now," w.a.n.g Teng stated.
"Prisoner?" Chad seemed to find something extremely amusing, bursting into laughter. "Just you, a cosmos-stage warrior? Wait… why do you look familiar to me?"
