42. Chapter 42: Gained a Mount! (1st update)

Scored a Mount!

Not far away, Song Jie heard the sound and immediately found his way there, releasing a "Flicker" into the sky at the same time.

The pitch-black night instantly turned bright.

Song Jie looked at the Thunder Pattern Wolves gathered outside the vine prison. He raised his hand, and several beams of laser light shot out, killing them all on the spot.

He walked up to the vine prison, and in the next moment, the vines gradually vanished.

At the sight, Song Jie let out a breath of relief. Good thing he had come quickly, or Mu Nu Jiao might have...

He hurried forward and checked Mu Nu Jiao's injuries, his brow furrowing at once.

Song Jie picked Mu Nu Jiao up and ran toward the exit.

Before they came, the Mu Family had hired a Hunter Squad at the station to wait outside and receive them.

As long as he got Mu Nu Jiao out, her injuries could be eased.

Song Jie sprinted through the darkness. Fortunately, Mu Nu Jiao was not heavy, or he really would not have been able to run.

Outside Little Kun Mountain, Mu Lei and the others were already treating their wounds.

Only one-fifth of them had survived. The rest had all died at the claws of the Thunder Pattern Wolves.

Mu Lei looked at Little Kun Mountain. "Uncle Jin and Jiao Jiao still haven't come back after so long. Could something have happened?"

"Lei, don't worry. With Jin He there, he won't let Miss come to harm," one of the High-level Mages said.

"No. I have to go take a look!"

Mu Lei still felt uneasy. He looked toward the Hunter Squad.

"Send two people with me. I'm going back into Little Kun Mountain."

That Hunter Squad had been invited by the Mu Family in the first place, so the captain assigned two people to Mu Lei.

"Lei, listen to me..."

The High-level Mage still wanted to persuade him, but Mu Lei cut him off. "I'll take people in to receive them. You stay here and wait."

Seeing that his wound had already been treated, Mu Lei looked at the man and prepared to enter Little Kun Mountain.

But just then, a dark figure quickly darted out from inside, drawing the attention of many people.

"Are they back?" the High-level Mage said.

"Give us a Radiance!"

As soon as Mu Lei spoke, the Light Mage beside him immediately cast "Radiance."

The next second, they all saw clearly who had come out of Little Kun Mountain.

"Song Jie!" Mu Lei looked at Song Jie's figure and also saw Mu Nu Jiao in his arms.

Before long, Song Jie arrived in front of them, panting heavily as he said, "She's injured."

Hearing that Mu Nu Jiao was injured, Mu Lei hurriedly cried out, "Someone, come treat her wound!"

Soon, a woman hurried over. After having Song Jie lay Mu Nu Jiao down steadily, she began checking her wound.

Seeing that Mu Nu Jiao had been saved, exhaustion and weakness swept over Song Jie's entire body in an instant.

He sat down heavily, braced both hands behind him, and stared up at the sky as he kept breathing.

"Song Jie, we really owe you this time!" Song Jie had already saved Mu Nu Jiao twice in a row, and Mu Lei felt extremely grateful to him.

He had someone bring water over. Song Jie drank a few mouthfuls and immediately felt much more refreshed.

A dozen minutes later, the bleeding from Mu Nu Jiao's wound was stopped, and for the time being, her life was no longer in danger.

"Song Jie, I'll have to trouble you to take Jiao Jiao back. I still have to stay here and wait for Uncle Jin," Mu Lei said to Song Jie.

Mu Nu Jiao's injuries had only been eased, so she still needed to be taken back for treatment.

Song Jie nodded. There was no point staying here now, so he might as well go back.

Very soon!

Song Jie followed the returning group toward Little Kun Mountain Station.

The trip usually took an hour, but because they had injured people with them, they walked for an hour and a half.

The Mu Family's people had already contacted the Mu Family. Mu Nu Jiao had not waited long at Little Kun Mountain before she was picked up by the people the Mu Family sent.

It was so late that there were no vehicles back to the city, so Song Jie could only stay one night at Little Kun Mountain Station.

He casually found a place, checked in, and entered his room.

Song Jie sat on the sofa and let out a breath. Today had counted as a close call.

Although there had been danger, his gains this time were still pretty good.

One Warrior-level Essence Soul, and more than twenty Plant Stamens!

Little Green had eaten itself stuffed today.

"If only I had a Summoned Beast that could travel today. At least it wouldn't be this exhausting," Song Jie said with a sigh.

He already did not want to worry about too much anymore. As long as his second Summoned Beast could travel, that was enough!

Song Jie did not immediately enter the Dimensional Plane. Instead, he planned to rest for a while first and eat something.

Half an hour later, once he was ready, he sat cross-legged on the sofa and completed the Summoning Element Star Track!

After Song Jie's consciousness entered the Dimensional Plane, he immediately began searching for a suitable mount.

He looked around. He did not know if his luck was simply too good this time, but he actually ran into several Flying Eagles!!

And he even recognized one of them. It was the Flying Eagle that had remained completely unmoved no matter how grand a future he had painted for it last time.

Only, this fellow seemed to be leading its companions in bullying another Flying Eagle.

Song Jie did not go over either. He stood not far away and watched until that Flying Eagle had finished being bullied before flying over.

The Flying Eagle seemed to sense his approach and shot him a very unfriendly glance.

"Want revenge?" Song Jie communicated with it through his mind.

The Flying Eagle looked at Song Jie and hesitated for a moment, but in the end, it still nodded.

Song Jie said, "If you trust me, I can make you stronger, and then you can pay back today's humiliation!"

The Flying Eagle kept sizing Song Jie up. It did not answer him immediately, as if it was struggling inwardly.

But very soon, the Flying Eagle made the right choice!

Song Jie smiled, then branded the Spiritual Imprint onto the Flying Eagle.

Through their communication, he had already learned this Flying Eagle's species. It was called a Wind Riding Sky Eagle.

Song Jie channeled Summoning Element Magic Energy into the Wind Riding Sky Eagle, helping treat its injuries.

Once that was more or less done, he returned to the real world.

"Finally done!" Song Jie could be considered to have breathed a sigh of relief. Now he had a mount of his own.

However, since he had made a promise to the Wind Riding Sky Eagle, he would definitely help it grow stronger.

Song Jie stretched, then began his next round of cultivation.

The next day.

Song Jie did not know whether he could still get the money, but he did not care too much. After all, his gains this time had been quite substantial.

After checking out of the room, he directly left Little Kun Mountain Station and took a taxi back to the city.

From this trip out for training, he had learned quite a lot. At the same time, he also planned when he would go out for training again next time.

If he were not short on money, he would not want to go out and take risks. Who knew what kind of danger he might run into?

When he returned to the rented apartment, the room was filled with familiar scents.

Just then, his phone suddenly chimed. It was a text message.

[Song Jie, it's me, Mu Lei. This is my...]

The person who texted him was Mu Lei. He had come to ask for Song Jie's account on the chat app.

A while later, the two of them had already added each other as friends.

[Mu Lei: Finally added you as a friend!]

[Mu Lei: Jiaojiao is already fine. This is Jiaojiao's account. Take the initiative and there'll be a story!]

Song Jie looked at the message and could not help smiling.

This Mu Lei really was efficient at getting things done!
