Another Old Silver Coin! (3rd update)

Just then, Song Jie heard Little Green make a sound, and delight instantly spread across his face.

Clearly!

Little Green had found something!

Little Green slowly flew forward, while Song Jie followed behind.

Before long, he saw a flower just over ten centimeters tall appear before him.

Atop its dark green stem sat a yellow bud, wrapped all around by petals, and at the very center was the stamen!

Song Jie looked at the bright yellow stamen. This plant was clearly a Plant Stamen!

"Little Green, you're amazing!" Song Jie scooped Little Green up and kissed its face.

Little Green wiped the drool from its little face, looking slightly disgusted.

Song Jie walked over and picked the Plant Stamen.

He plucked out one fine, slender stamen and held it in front of Little Green.

"Little Green, try it."

Little Green hesitated for a moment, then finally bit into the stamen.

It chewed carefully, then its eyes suddenly lit up. "Ring ring ring!" It wanted more!

Song Jie smiled and plucked out another stamen, feeding it to Little Green.

He had come here to find food for Little Green in the first place. As long as it liked eating it, that was enough.

Song Jie encouraged it, "Let's keep looking. However many we find, that's how many you'll be able to eat from now on."

"Ring ring ring!" Little Green nodded happily.

Song Jie fed Little Green while following behind it.

If it weren't for Little Green, finding Plant Stamens would have been incredibly difficult. He would probably have been lucky to find even one.

Over the time that followed, Song Jie harvested a few more one after another, and his mood soared.

"Ring ring ring!"

Suddenly, Little Green's voice turned urgent, as if it had made a major discovery!

Song Jie hurried forward, keeping pace with Little Green.

Before long, they arrived at an open area, filled with green grass and all kinds of flowers.

Among them were quite a few Plant Stamens—around twenty by the look of it!

"Holy shit! Little Green!" Song Jie scooped Little Green up and kissed its little face again.

However, he wasn't dazzled by the Plant Stamens in front of him.

Song Jie stayed alert to his surroundings. There was no way this place should have so many Plant Stamens.

Although Little Kun Mountain wasn't crawling with monsters everywhere, there were definitely plenty of monsters inhabiting it.

There would also be Plant Element monsters.

With so many Plant Stamens here, there was no way they couldn't have found this place.

A ring of woods surrounded the clearing, as if enclosing it in a circle.

Song Jie didn't plan to take the risk. Instead, he looked at Little Green and said, "Little Green, use your vines to retrieve those Plant Stamens."

Little Green nodded and looked at the Plant Stamens. These were all her snacks!

But just as it controlled its vines to slowly extend toward the Plant Stamens, roots burrowing out of the ground blocked them.

Seeing this, Song Jie couldn't help but cry out inwardly, Damn it, another sneaky bastard!

Then he quickly swept his gaze over the surrounding woods, trying to find the monster controlling the roots.

However, this monster was hidden extremely well, without revealing the slightest flaw.

But if it could control tree roots, it was very likely related to trees—and might even be nearby!

"Radiance!"

"Multi-Laser!"

With a bang, two Golden Lasers instantly shot out, turning a large stretch of forest in front of him into splintered chunks of wood.

Song Jie also observed carefully, trying to find the culprit controlling the roots.

"Again!"

Song Jie blasted out another attack. He refused to believe this thing could keep hiding so well.

That monster was currently locked in a struggle with Little Green, so he had to find it quickly.

Then he saw it!

More and more roots were drilling up from the ground, heading toward them.

"Little Green, hold on!" Song Jie knew this monster was about to lose its patience.

Otherwise, it would not have launched an attack. Most likely, it had been afraid it was about to be exposed.

"Right here!"

The moment Song Jie's words fell, Multi-Laser shot out, instantly exploding in the woods to the side.

But one plump, massive tree was not destroyed. Instead, it still stood there.

Song Jie looked over and could already confirm that it was the one controlling the roots.

And just then!

Quite a few roots burst out around him as well, rushing straight toward him and spreading at high speed.

"You're courting death!" As soon as Song Jie spoke, the Star Track in his spiritual world completed in an instant.

Radiance!

Ultimate Great Burst!

A golden ball of light streaked across the air and arrived in front of the great tree in the blink of an eye.

The next moment!

With a boom, the entire great tree turned into fragments that sprayed in every direction.

The roots that had been attacking suddenly wilted as if they had lost their life.

Song Jie looked over. After seeing that it was truly dead, he also let out a breath of relief.

However, at that moment, he seemed to see a cluster of green fluorescence appearing where the great tree had been.

"What is this?" Song Jie walked over curiously, and quickly understood!

Could this be an Essence Soul?

That demon had been fine even after taking his magic, which was comparable to the third level of Intermediate, and in the end he had still had to use "High-level Magic" to kill it.

From this, it could be concluded that the demon was very likely a Great General, or a demon at the Advanced Stage of the General level!

In that case, the Essence Soul it produced would be worth a fortune!

To see an Essence Soul, one needed to possess an undead vessel. But undead vessels cost at least millions, and at most tens of millions; ordinary people simply could not afford them.

The second way was to become an Undead Element mage. Only then could one see Essence Souls.

Song Jie could see it because the Bronze Bracelet on his hand was an undead vessel.

At the same time, an undead vessel was also a tool used to store Essence Souls.

To keep the Essence Soul from dissipating outside, Song Jie did not hesitate. He raised his hand and let the Bronze Bracelet slowly move closer to it.

Very quickly!

The Essence Soul reacted, flying toward the Bronze Bracelet before sinking into it.

"It worked!"

Song Jie was incomparably excited. He remembered that when Mo Fan had sold an Essence Soul back then, he seemed to have gotten twenty million!

This one was definitely higher grade than the Essence Soul Mo Fan had obtained, so its value was definitely much higher.

However, Little Green was also a Plant Element Summoned Beast. Perhaps keeping it for Little Green to use would be pretty good too.

Song Jie did not think too much about it and instead turned his attention to what was before him.

He walked over and swept all the Plant Stamens into his bag, placing them into the System Space.

Song Jie raised his head, looked at the sky, then checked the time, and felt that it was time to return the way he had come.

At the same time, Mu Lei and the others were cultivating, waiting for the hunters to return one after another.

"Bad news!!"

Suddenly, a stumbling figure slowly approached.

Mu Lei frowned and looked at the panicked man as he asked, "What happened?"

"I saw a pack of Thunder Pattern Wolves over there heading right toward us!" the man said.

Hearing this, everyone stood up one after another, their expressions grave.

Thunder Pattern Wolves!

One of the teams had encountered Thunder Pattern Wolves, which was why they had ended up in such a miserable state!

"How many Thunder Pattern Wolves were there? Did you get a clear look?" Mu Lei asked next.

"Over a hundred. There was also one Thunder Pattern Wolf in the pack that was taller and larger than all the others!" the man said in terror.

"That's the leader of the Thunder Pattern Wolves!" one High-level Mage said with a frown.
