At the same time, Martin was concentrating on counting the "spoils" looted during this period.
It has to be said that the harvest during this period was very fruitful. Not only did we accumulate a huge amount of supplies, but the number of cores was also very considerable.
It’s just a bit regrettable that there are only five stellar-level cores, but there are quite a few planetary-level cores, a total of forty-three.
Looking at the harvest in front of him, Martin felt conflicted. He wondered whether he should just call it a day and leave.
After all, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. There will inevitably be risks if you stay there.
However, when he thought that there might be more benefits waiting to be tapped, he was really reluctant to give up.
After much hesitation, Martin finally decided to contact Betan and the other four people in his mind and listen to their opinions.
Soon, the responses from the four people came, but the result made Martin laugh and cry. The number of people who agreed to leave and those who agreed to stay was two to two.
Martin couldn't help but complain: "Did you do this on purpose?"
Helpless, Martin could only fall into deep thought again.
After much thought, he finally decided that it was best to leave and not take any more risks.
During this period of time, while plundering passing ships, Martin also gained a better understanding of the trading star realm.
It turns out that the Trading Star Realm is fundamentally different from other higher-level plane forces. It is more like a complex combination.
"Trading Star Realm" is just a general term. In fact, it is composed of many large and small forces with star cluster-level combat capabilities.
Among them, the Star Realm Clan, as the first force to set foot here, occupied this area by taking advantage of the initiative.
The rich relic resources here made the Star Realm clan earn a fortune.
Later, large-scale battles broke out among various forces in order to compete for resources.
Finally, in order to balance the interests of all parties, this area was opened, and various wandering forces in the universe or other forces with cluster-level combat power moved in.
As time went by, this place continued to grow and develop, and trade became more frequent, so it was officially renamed the Trading Star Realm.
Having made up his mind to leave, Martin no longer hesitated.
He immediately sent a message to Betan and the other four people in his mind, asking them to come to him quickly and prepare to set off immediately without staying here any longer.
After receiving Martin's order, Betan and the other three did not hesitate and immediately urged the giant dragon under their crotch.
Four giant dragons roared to the sky, mysterious light emanated from their bodies, and they instantly came to Martin's side.
After everyone gathered together, without a moment's delay, they directly cut open a space crack and flew in together. As the space crack healed, the previous silence returned.
The day after Martin and his group left, the space in this area suddenly began to experience strange fluctuations.
Immediately afterwards, sixteen star cluster-level beings emitting powerful auras descended here like meteors streaking through the void.
They had sharp eyes and quickly began to carefully check the surroundings. However, after searching for a while, they did not find any trace of the dragon knight.
A thought came to everyone's mind: Could it be that they have already run away?
At this moment, the seemingly dull old elf of the elf tribe suddenly made a move.
He fixed his eyes on a seemingly ordinary piece of void, and suddenly raised his hand to strike out.
You know, the seeds of the Tree of Life have extremely keen perception of living things that contain vitality.
This powerful blow instantly broke the tranquility of the void and blasted out the eight elders of the Star Realm Clan who were hiding in the dark without reservation.
For a moment, their eyes met, staring at each other. The atmosphere froze instantly, and an awkward atmosphere spread among the crowd like a thick fog.
The sixteen star cluster-level powerhouses were the first to react, their eyes filled with vigilance and confusion.
The octopus ancestor frowned, staring at the eight elders of the Star Realm Clan with a sharp gaze. He said in a deep voice, "Why are you, the Star Realm Clan, hiding here so furtively? Could it be that you are secretly planning something?"
An old man from the Star Realm Clan with snow-white hair and a weathered face took a step forward.
A helpless smile appeared on his face: "You all misunderstood. We are only here to protect you according to the orders from above. We are worried that something might happen to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the sixteen strong men were all stunned, and a feeling of being plotted against suddenly surged in their hearts.
The Star Ancestor snorted coldly and questioned, "Surprise? Your appearance is what surprised us. The Star Realm Clan is really calculating! Could it be that this operation was a trap set by you?"
The old man from the Star Realm quickly waved his hands and explained, "Everyone, calm down. This is all for the greater good of the Star Realm."
"Our superiors learned that the Dragon Knights were extremely powerful, so as a precaution, they arranged for us to be on standby."
"If both you and the Dragon Knight suffer losses, we will clean up the mess and ensure that the interests of the trading star realm are not harmed."
The old elf's eyes flickered as he slowly spoke, "So, you had bad intentions from the beginning. You used us as cannon fodder to test the dragon knight's strength, so you could reap the benefits."
A trace of embarrassment crossed the old man's face, but he still said stubbornly, "We are all here to trade the Star Realm, just with different divisions of labor. Now that the Dragon Knight has escaped, we should put aside our past grudges and discuss countermeasures together."
However, the sixteen ancestors from various forces present had completely different thoughts in their minds.
They thought that since the dragon knight had disappeared, they had now run into people from the Star Clan who came to monitor them.
Why not take this opportunity to get rid of these elders of the Star Realm Clan here and there, and weaken the strength of the Star Realm Clan.
After this thought flashed through their minds, the sixteen ancestors looked at each other quietly for a few times, and when their eyes met, they had already reached a certain tacit understanding.
Several elders of the Star Realm Clan keenly noticed that the atmosphere on the scene had become somewhat subtle, and a faint sense of oppression and danger quietly spread.
Their hearts suddenly skipped a beat and they became secretly alert, realizing that things might be heading in a bad direction.
The white-haired elder of the Star Realm Clan was startled, but on the surface he feigned composure and said loudly, "Everyone, we all work for the Trading Star Realm. Aren't you afraid that the Star Realm Clan will cause you trouble?"
The octopus man sneered: "Trouble? You, the Star Realm Clan, set up a trap to use us and think we are fools?"
"If I don't deal with you today, I don't know how much harm I will suffer in the future."
After saying this, magic power surged around him, and he seemed to be ready to attack.
The other fifteen ancestors also dispersed and surrounded the eight elders of the Star Realm Clan. They each used their own methods to release powerful pressure.
When the elders of the Star Realm Clan saw this, their faces turned extremely ugly.
They quickly gathered together back to back, with light shining from their bodies.
The white-haired old man gritted his teeth and said, "Since you don't care about the overall situation, don't blame us for being rude!"
