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

Everyone looked at the elk calf walking away in astonishment, not knowing how to react.

Zhou Zimo frowned and said, "Why did this elk calf suddenly run away? Could it know something we don't?"

Nan Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it was attracted by something. Let's follow it and see if we can find a clue to the monk's cave."

Lin Zhi and Wang Heng nodded in agreement.

So, several people followed the direction the elk calf ran.

The elk calf was like a flash of lightning, moving quickly between the flowers and trees. Everyone followed closely behind it, and if they were distracted for a moment they would be left behind.

The cub ran very fast, but seemed to be intentionally leading the group. It looked back from time to time to make sure they were not left behind.

Following the lead of the elk calf, the surrounding scenery became more and more bizarre. Ancient trees towered into the clouds, with lush branches and leaves that seemed to cover the entire sky. Strange flowers emitted a mysterious light, making people feel as if they were in a dreamland.

Finally, in a quiet valley, the elk calf stopped.

When everyone rushed forward, they saw a huge cave entrance appear before them.

The entrance to the cave was covered with vines and moss, and if it weren't for the cub leading the way, they would have had difficulty finding it.

The entrance of the cave exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and the rich spiritual energy continuously flows out from here.

Lin Zhi exclaimed, "This must be the entrance to the cave of an ancient and powerful cultivator! I didn't expect it to be found by this little elk calf."

Nan Qiao's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she whispered, "It seems we're lucky. This cub is really our lucky star."

Zhou Zimo stared at the cave entrance and said solemnly, "We don't know what kind of dangers may exist in the ancient cultivator's cave. We must be careful."

The elk calf didn't give anyone time to think and quickly rushed into the cave.

They were stunned at first, then looked at each other, seeing the same determination and curiosity in each other's eyes. They took a step forward at the same time and followed the cub into the cave.

As soon as you enter the cave, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere hits you.

The cave was dimly lit, with only a faint light seeping in from an unknown source.

They groped their way forward cautiously. The road ahead was bumpy and the space was small, so Nan Qiao could only get off Wang Heng's back and walk carefully.

Several people walked through a narrow and bumpy road, and the walls seemed to be engraved with ancient runes and patterns.

When they finally walked out of the narrow road and came to a stone chamber, the scene before them shocked them so much that they were speechless.

The stone chamber is spacious and bright, with countless sparkling gems inlaid on the walls, emitting brilliant and colorful light.

In the center of the stone chamber, an adult elk radiating white light stood quietly, like a sacred being.

The adult elk was tall and majestic, its eyes deep and peaceful, as if containing endless wisdom.

The elk calf ran happily to the feet of the adult elk and rubbed its legs affectionately.

Everyone stared at the scene in amazement, their hearts filled with awe and wonder.

Lin Zhi said in surprise, "Could this adult elk be the spirit beast guarding the cave?"

Zhou Zimo frowned slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Everyone, be careful. These spirit beasts guarding the cave will usually attack anyone who breaks into the cave without hesitation."

Lin Zhi and Wang Heng also nodded and protected Nan Qiao tightly behind them.

The adult elk, radiating white light, stared at the crowd silently. Suddenly, an ethereal and majestic voice echoed from the stone chamber: "Are you here to search for treasure in the cave, or to seek an opportunity?"

Everyone was shocked, especially Wang Heng. His eyes widened with astonishment, "This... this spirit beast can actually speak human language!"

His voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously shocked by this sudden situation.

Nan Qiao also looked surprised, but soon calmed down. Zhou Zimo frowned, his eyes full of vigilance and thought. Lin Zhi was also shocked by this magical scene, but he still tried to stay calm.

The adult elk's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, and the light seemed to be able to see through their hearts.

It spoke again, a hint of majesty in its voice: "Answer me, what is your purpose?"

The stone chamber was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.

After a brief silence, Nan Qiao spoke first. She spoke sincerely and respectfully, "Respected Spirit Beast Senior, we have come here by chance after enduring many hardships in the Misty Forest."

"You guessed correctly. We came to the Monster Forest to seek treasures and opportunities. After all, a cultivator who doesn't want to obtain cultivation resources is not a good cultivator."

Zhou Zimo continued, "Senior, we have no intention of offending you. Please forgive us if we have done anything wrong. We truly have great respect for this ancient cave, and we hope to learn from its wisdom and strength."

"Of course, it would be better if there were adventures."

Hearing this, Lin Zhi also spoke exaggeratedly: "Senior Spirit Beast, we are well aware of our own insignificance. We have only come here under the guidance of fate."

He said seriously, "We are willing to explore this mysterious place with a pious heart. It would be a great honor for us to receive guidance from our predecessors."

Wang Heng also came back to his senses at this time. He nodded and agreed quickly, "Yes, yes, senior, we have no ill intentions, only a pious heart."

Everyone looked at the adult elk nervously, waiting for its response.

The adult elk nodded slightly, a light flowing through its body, and a hollow voice rang out: "Since you saved my son, I will exempt you from entering the cave."

"But the opportunities in the mansion still depend on you."

Its gaze is deep and distant, as if it can see through everything.

Everyone was happy, but also felt a little pressure.

Nan Qiao bowed slightly with excitement and said respectfully, "Thank you very much, Senior. We will cherish this opportunity and explore the cave with awe, and will never let you down."

Zhou Zimo also said solemnly: "Don't worry, senior, we will definitely go all out. We will not covet what we don't deserve, and will only take the opportunities that are destined for us."

Lin Zhi and Wang Heng nodded in agreement.

The spirit beast looked at them, and a hint of relief seemed to flash in its eyes.

Then, it turned slightly with the elk calf, and the light gradually faded, as if it merged into the wall of the stone chamber.

As soon as the spirit beast left, the powerful pressure in the stone chamber immediately disappeared.

Wang Heng breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking, "What do you think the adult elk would do if they knew we were using the calves as food reserves?... um..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Zhi covered his mouth tightly. Lin Zhi said speechlessly, "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you, you stupid teammate!"
