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

Wang Heng also quickly agreed, "That's right, Miss Nan Qiao is very magnanimous, but please don't take it personally."

"We will humbly seek advice from now on and will never again harbor doubts about the treasures you have brought out, Miss Nan Qiao."

Their faces were full of sincerity and apology, and their eyes revealed respect for Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao looked at everyone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a warm smile, "Okay, everyone, don't say that. I just happened to have some things in my backpack that might be useful."

The crowd continued to move forward in the misty forest, their playful smiles gone, and their steps became heavier.

They carefully pushed aside the dense branches and leaves, alert to possible dangers.

Nan Qiao was carried on Wang Heng's back and could see from a distance, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she found a baby elk trapped in vines not far away.

The little body looked helpless and pitiful entangled in the vines, and it made a weak cry as if asking for help.

Nan Qiao's heart tightened, and she immediately stopped and shouted to Zhou Zimo, "Zhou Zimo, there's a baby elk trapped in the vines over there. Go and rescue it quickly."

Zhou Zimo hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Nan Qiao and said softly, "Sister Nan Qiao, this Misty Forest is a place where monsters roam rampant. It's really inappropriate to bring a young elk with you."

"We ourselves are facing many unknown dangers. If we bring it with us, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

Lin Zhiye patiently advised, "Ms. Nan Qiao, I understand your kindness, but we must prioritize the overall situation."

"In this misty forest, the slightest mistake could lead to us falling into a desperate situation. We cannot bring ourselves into greater trouble because of a moment of weakness."

Wang Heng, who was carrying Nan Qiao on his back, paused and asked, "Miss Nan Qiao, do you think this elk calf is cute and want to keep it as a pet?"

"Once we get out of the Monster Forest, I'll find you a pet a thousand times cuter than this one."

Nan Qiao looked at the three of them strangely, "What are you talking about? I've never thought about getting a pet."

She glanced at the elk calf and whispered, so that only the four of them could hear, "We've completely lost our spiritual power. It's extremely difficult to kill high-level monsters. I'm out of compressed biscuits in my bag too."

"It's so hard to come across a monster. I can use it as food reserves. Even mosquito meat is disgusting."

Hearing this, the three of them felt ashamed and realized that they had underestimated Nan Qiao.

Zhou Zimo spoke first: "Sister Nanqiao, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. I was worrying too much."

Lin Zhiye immediately said, "Miss Nanqiao, you have considered everything much more thoroughly than we have. We only saw the surface, and we are truly ashamed."

Wang Heng carried Nan Qiao on his back, his tone a little embarrassed: "Miss Nan Qiao, I shouldn't have presumptuously guessed what you were thinking. You have never been the kind of person who acted recklessly without knowing the occasion or the time."

Nan Qiao felt a little embarrassed by the praise, and she suspected that they did it on purpose.

She shook her head slightly and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Our most urgent task is to get out of this foggy forest as soon as possible."

"This elk calf is just a backup option for us. I don't want to do this unless it's absolutely necessary."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly.

At this time, Zhou Zimo took out a dagger from his arms and slowly walked towards the elk cub trapped by the vines.

His eyes were focused and his movements were cautious, for fear of hurting the poor little guy again.

The sharp dagger danced flexibly in Zhou Zimo's hand, accurately cutting off the tough vines one by one.

As the vines broke free, the elk calf was finally able to break free.

However, it had been injured while struggling in the vines, and there were many scrapes and scratches on its small body, with blood faintly oozing out.

His legs also seemed to be injured, his feet were covered in blood, and he couldn't stand up even if he escaped.

Zhou Zimo looked at the injured cub and felt a surge of pity in his heart.

He quickly took out some trauma medicine from the medical kit and gently applied it to the cub.

The cub seemed to feel Zhou Zimo's kindness. Although it was a little scared, it did not struggle.

After applying the medicine, Zhou Zimo gently held the elk calf in his arms.

The cub trembled slightly in his arms, as if it had found a safe harbor.

The group continued to move forward with the elk calf. The little elk calf seemed particularly quiet in Zhou Zimo's arms, as if it felt the "kindness" of the group and fell asleep with its eyes closed in satisfaction.

After walking for a while, they were surprised to find that the thick fog around them was gradually dissipating.

When the last wisp of mist dissipated, a fairyland-like picture slowly unfolded before their eyes. Everywhere they looked, there were colorful flowers. The breeze blew gently, and the flowers swayed gracefully, as if dancing a graceful dance.

The forest is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a veil, adding a mysterious color to the mountain.

The clear stream gurgles, and the water sparkles silver under the sunlight, like a flowing galaxy.

Willows droop by the stream, their branches brushing the water surface gently, creating ripples.

Lin Zhi widened his eyes, his face full of surprise.

He took a deep breath, feeling the rich and pure spiritual energy around him, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The spiritual energy here is much richer and purer than that in the Monster Forest! Could this be the cave abode of an ancient cultivator?!"

His voice was full of excitement and anticipation. After searching for so many days, he finally found it!

Nan Qiao and Zhou Zimo looked at each other. Great! They finally found the ancient monk’s cave!

Several people were shocked by the scene before them. They looked around, their hearts filled with confusion and curiosity.

Wang Heng couldn't help but ask, "Where is the cultivator's cave? There's only woods around here and it seems there's no entrance."

Several people were immersed in amazement at the surrounding environment, when they suddenly felt a familiar and powerful force surging in their bodies.

Lin Zhi widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He tried to mobilize the spiritual power in his body and was surprised to find that he could control it at will.

"I have recovered my spiritual power!" he shouted excitedly.

Nan Qiao and Zhou Zimo also immediately noticed the changes in themselves, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

She quickly probed her spiritual sense into the space jade pendant, and looked at the cultivation resources piled up like a mountain inside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Qiao patted her chest. These were all her treasures. It was good that they were back.

Zhou Zimo said calmly, "We have already walked out of the Misty Forest, and the sealed spiritual power has naturally recovered."

Just as everyone was rejoicing at the recovery of their spiritual power, an astonishing change also took place in the elk calf.

All the wounds on its body healed in an instant, and its small body was full of vitality.

Suddenly, as if it was summoned by something, it tried to break free from Zhou Zimo's arms and rushed away.
