After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

"If we stay any longer, something unexpected might happen. Let's go without delay." Zhou Zimo said, pulling Nan Qiaoyi away in shame.

The four of them finally embarked on the journey to the Monster Forest. Along the way, Zhou Zimo and Nan Qiao rode in the middle, while Lin Zhi and Wang Heng rode their horses and observed their surroundings vigilantly.

Their figures shuttled through the mountains and forests at an extremely fast speed, as if four lightning bolts were streaking across the sky.

As they gradually approached the Monster Forest, the atmosphere around them became more and more tense.

There seemed to be some powerful creatures secretly monitoring them. A mysterious aura filled the air, making people feel uneasy.

The moment they stepped into the Monster Forest, a strong primitive breath hit them in the face.

The ancient trees stood tall and their lush branches and leaves intertwined with each other, blocking most of the sunlight and making the forest appear particularly dark and damp.

The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves and dead branches, and every step made a slight sound, as if reminding them of the danger here.

Zhou Zimo tilted his head slightly, looked at Nan Qiao, and said gently, "Sister Nan Qiao, most of the monsters outside this monster forest are at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment levels."

"Although these monsters are somewhat dangerous, with our current strength and the protection of Lin Zhi and Wang Heng, we can still deal with them."

"But we can't let our guard down. After all, the strength and habits of monsters vary, and unexpected situations may occur at any time."

Nan Qiao nodded slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes: "What about the inner part of the forest?"

Zhou Zimo's expression became even more serious. "The inner part of the forest is much more dangerous. It's the territory of Jindan-stage demon beasts, and there are even Yuanying-stage demon kings there."

"Those powerful monsters are terrifyingly powerful. If we encounter them, we have almost no chance of winning."

"So we're only operating on the periphery this time, and we must not go too deep into the inner circle."

"And we have Senior Lin and Senior Wang here. They are experienced and powerful. As long as we don't provoke powerful monsters, we should have no problem staying outside."

After saying that, Zhou Zimo looked around warily again and continued, "Sister Nanqiao, in this monster forest, we must always remain vigilant and obey the instructions of the two seniors."

"They are familiar with the situation here and can detect danger and respond promptly. Our goal is to successfully find the cave, obtain the treasure, and then leave here safely."

Nan Qiao nodded obediently, with a determined look in her eyes: "Okay, I will be careful."

At this time, a breeze blew through the Monster Forest, and the leaves rustled, as if reminding them of the danger and future here.

Suddenly, a low roar came from a distance.

The four of them stopped immediately and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

I saw a group of wolf demons slowly walking out of the shadows, their eyes flashing with ferocity, and their sharp teeth looked particularly hideous in the dim light.

"They are wolf demons!" Zhou Zimo explained to Nan Qiao with a frown, "Although their cultivation is low, most wolf demons are only at the Qi Refining stage, but they usually appear in groups."

"It is one of the most difficult monsters to deal with in the outer area."

Just as Zhou Zimo finished speaking, he saw pairs of animal eyes light up in the dark forest.

A group of wolf demons approached step by step, emitting a powerful demonic aura, and drooled greedily at the sight of Nan Qiao and his group.

Zhou Zimo and Nan Qiao felt nervous and a look of tension appeared on their faces.

Lin Zhi and Wang Heng quickly drew their weapons and stood in front of Zhou Zimo and Nan Qiao.

Lin Zhi snorted, "I can handle a bunch of little bastards by myself, just wait and see."

Wang Heng's tall and strong body stood in front of the two men, always on guard against the wolf demon that wanted to rush over.

The battle is about to break out.

The wolf demons launched the first attack. They rushed towards the four people like a black torrent.

Lin Zhi was not afraid at all. He brandished the weapon in his hand and started a fierce battle with the wolf demon.

Amidst the flashing of swords and the shadows of sabers, the wolf demon's screams rose one after another.

Lin Zhi was agile and moved among the wolf monsters like a cheetah.

He swung the long sword in his hand with great force, and each sword strike accurately hit the wolf demon's vital points.

Wang Hengze was extremely strong. He swung a heavy axe and knocked away the wolf demons that pounced on him one by one.

Zhou Zimo and Nan Qiao looked at each other and cheered for Lin Zhi and Wang Heng, "Come on, come on."

At the same time, always be prepared to deal with emergencies.

After a fierce battle, all the wolf demons were finally strangled to death.

The wolf demon's corpse was lying all over the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Lin Zhi and Wang Heng only suffered minor injuries. After taking the healing pills and the soul-restoring pills, they regained their pre-fighting spirit.

Nan Qiao looked at the corpses of the demon wolves scattered all over the ground, and a hint of curiosity welled up in her heart. She frowned slightly and asked, "Is there any use for these demon wolf bodies?"

Lin Zhi nodded slightly and replied calmly: "The flesh of these demon wolves is very suitable for cultivators who practice body cultivation."

"As for the demon wolf's inner elixir, it is the crystallization of the energy within the spirit beast, containing a small amount of pure energy and the spirit beast's attribute essence. Practitioners can improve their own skills and speed up their cultivation by absorbing the energy from the inner elixir."

"Of course, inner elixirs of different attributes have different effects. For example, fire-attribute inner elixirs can enhance the power of a practitioner's fire-attribute skills, while water-attribute inner elixirs may help practitioners comprehend the secrets of water-attribute spells."

"However, this effect is minimal, and cultivators with spirit stones are simply unwilling to go through the trouble of obtaining the inner elixir."

When Nan Qiao heard this, her eyes lit up. In her opinion, a mosquito leg is also meat!

She secretly thought in her heart that although these inner elixirs might be insignificant to those wealthy cultivators, they might play a significant role for those people in her country who completely rely on resources for cultivation.

Nan Qiao stood up, looked at Zhou Zimo with a determined gaze, and said, "Zimo, I want the corpses of these demon wolves."

Zhou Zimo was slightly startled, then smiled with understanding.

Of course he knew what Nan Qiao was thinking. She was doing this for her country and would not miss any potentially useful resources.

Zhou Zimo didn't hesitate at all and quickly took out a space restriction jade slip from his Qiankun bag.

He gently waved the jade slip, and a mysterious light instantly enveloped the area.

The light was like an invisible barrier, firmly sealing the bloody aura inside, preventing the bloody smell from spreading and attracting other monsters.

Zhou Zimo looked at Nan Qiao and said softly, "Sister Nan Qiao, with this spatial restriction jade slip, you don't have to worry about attracting other monsters. You can collect the corpses of these monster wolves without worry."
