Early the next morning, Yang Wu arrived on the Australian Continent.
When he had first crossed over, he had considered searching for Spirits of Plants and Trees, so he had long since made some preparations.
For instance, he had collected all the geographical and map data for the Australian Continent. After some simple calculations, he had already pinpointed Mist Island's location.
After all, there were not many inland lakes, and the lake surrounding Mist Island spanned roughly a hundred li in every direction, making it easy to find on a map.
Even if the appearance of Monsters had altered the terrain somewhat, it would not be much of an issue.
Thus, shortly after arriving on the Australian Continent and confirming his coordinates, Yang Wu flew directly toward Mist Island.
Across the vast wilderness, Yang Wu sped onward.
Before long, Yang Wu reached his destination: a lake shrouded in endless dense fog, with Mist Island at its center.
"I hope nothing goes wrong." Yang Wu took a deep breath.
The one thing that gave him the greatest headache was the "wild" Moyun Vine raised by Babata on Mist Island.
According to Babata, it had been a Moyun Vine casually cultivated with three Mu Ya Crystals during the Great Nirvana Period.
But judging from the Original Work, ordinary Planet-level experts were indeed no match for the Moyun Vine.
Then again, Luo Feng, a War God Expert, had caused quite a stir on Mist Island in the Original Work, yet the Moyun Vine had never appeared.
Presumably, as an unremarkable Planet-level expert merely looting some Spirits of Plants and Trees, Yang Wu should not draw the Moyun Vine's attention.
As for the Spirits of Plants and Trees he intended to loot, they were actually products of special plants absorbing several Mu Ya Crystals that Babata had ground into powder.
Though they were quite powerful and could withstand the combined assault of several War God Peaks for hours, they posed no threat whatsoever to Planet-level Yang Wu.
As he ventured deeper into Mist Island's lake, everything ahead was almost completely concealed by endless thick fog. The closer he got to the lake's center, the denser the fog became.
Even with his Planet-level eyesight, he could barely see a hundred meters ahead.
As for the waters of the lake, Yang Wu did indeed spot quite a few Lord-level Monsters.
But Yang Wu had no interest in killing Lord-level Monsters for materials and money right now.
Soon, Yang Wu reached Lake Heart Island. Oddly enough, the fog around the island's edge was noticeably thinner.
Yet once he entered Lake Heart Island itself, there was not the slightest trace of fog.
However, it resembled a primeval forest, with towering, thick trees standing everywhere and completely obstructing his view.
Yang Wu silently walked through the dense forest. His only impression was that everything around him was far too quiet!
There were clearly so many Monsters in the island's lake, yet there was not a single Monster on the island, nor were there any roars.
But Yang Wu also knew that the strongest things on Mist Island were not Monsters, but Spirits of Plants and Trees. Or rather, it was because of the Moyun Vine that no Monsters dared come ashore.
"After the Great Nirvana, most mutations occurred in animals. Plants such as flowers, grass, and trees were much rarer, but mutations still existed among them." Yang Wu calmly looked toward a plant in the distance.
There were indeed many mutated plants on Mist Island. These plants were the so-called "Spirits of Plants and Trees"!
Every Spirit of Plants and Trees contained the essence of heaven and earth, namely Cosmic Energy, and each possessed unique effects.
The most common ones were like Dragon Blood, capable of directly improving a person's physical fitness.
Others were like Water of Life, capable of regenerating severed limbs directly... while some increased cellular activity and so on.
Some Spirits of Plants and Trees even had effects far more astonishing than Dragon Blood and Water of Life!
The Spirit of Plants and Trees before Yang Wu was probably only General-level. The essence it contained was certainly inferior to a Thousand Year Willow Heart.
But even a mosquito was still meat, and besides, he could amplify it ten thousand times.
Thus, Yang Wu took a step forward and ended the Spirit of Plants and Trees with a single slash.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the spoils Black Root. Would you like to perform Ten Thousand Times Amplification?] [Black Root successfully amplified ten thousand times. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Large Mu Ya Crystal.]
The so-called Mu Ya Crystal looked like a crystal stone with a faint white glow and a light Rice Fragrance.
Even in the Universe, Mu Ya Crystals counted as treasures. They could be used for cultivation, raising and taming beasts, nurturing Plant Lifeforms, and more.
For example, with just one Mu Ya Crystal, a War God could spend a month and easily step into the Planet-level!
"The Rice Fragrance really does mean it's a Mu Ya Crystal."
Yang Wu glanced at the Mu Ya Crystal in his hand and sniffed it. Sure enough, it gave him an urge to drool and swallow it whole.
"Since it's a Mu Ya Crystal, it can definitely improve a Planet-level Expert's strength. My previous guess was right after all."
What was a Large Mu Ya Crystal?
The Mu Ya Crystals in the Original Work were probably only the size of pigeon eggs, while this Mu Ya Crystal was roughly the size of a duck egg.
Sensing the massive amount of energy within it, he felt that if he successfully refined it, both his Warrior and Spiritual Master strength should break through to around the Planet-level Fourth Order at the same time.
Clearly, this Large Mu Ya Crystal was more effective than an ordinary Mu Ya Crystal.
However, the difficulty of breaking through each order was twice that of the previous one.
Therefore, if he wanted to reach the Planet-level Peak, or even the Star-level, he would need more Mu Ya Crystals.
"This low-level Spirit of Plants and Trees is far inferior to a Thousand Year Willow Heart." Yang Wu played with it briefly before placing it in his backpack.
"If I can obtain a Thousand Year Willow Heart, I'll definitely get an even larger Mu Ya Crystal."
Every Planet-level expert in the Original Work had been thrilled after obtaining ordinary Mu Ya Crystals.
Yet Yang Wu remained calm, even wanting to obtain larger Mu Ya Crystals.
As far as he knew, there were nine Willow Type Spirits of Plants and Trees across Mist Island, and even the weakest among them was no worse than a Thousand Year Willow Heart.
The best Willow Heart among them could already be considered a Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart!
Time slowly passed. Before Yang Wu found the Thousand Year Willow Heart, he encountered another attack from a Wild Grass Type Spirit of Plants and Trees.
However, that Spirit of Plants and Trees was not particularly strong, with combat power at most on the level of a Beginner War God, so he dealt with it rather easily.
After simply amplifying the spoils through the system, he gained another, even larger Mu Ya Crystal.
After walking for a while longer, he finally saw the target he had initially chosen.
On the open ground not far before Yang Wu stood nine incomparably thick willow trees.
Even the thinnest one had a diameter exceeding one meter, while the thickest willow tree had a diameter of around three meters!
Judging from its various characteristics, these should be the willow trees discovered by Luo Feng and the others in the Original Work.
With Planet-level combat power and SS-level equipment, he had no fear of attacks from these Spirits of Plants and Trees.
As Yang Wu approached, each of the nine Spirits of Plants and Trees sent hundreds of millions of willow branches dancing through the air as they charged directly at him.
Screech!
Screech!
Screech!
In almost an instant, the wildly whipping willow branches of those willow trees wrapped around Yang Wu like threads!
