Bai Ningyu noticed a trace of worry on Li Shang's face, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, the Great Elder is a powerful cultivator in the middle stage of Dan Jin. That mere fog monster won't be able to do anything to him."

After hearing Bai Ningyu's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Just as everyone took out their flashlights and prepared to wait for the Great Elder to return.

Zhang Er's eyes suddenly swept to the ancient tree beside him. He saw him running over, squatting down and shouting excitedly, "Look! There's red ling grass!"

His eyes were full of surprise, and everyone stood up and surrounded him immediately after hearing the sound.

Sure enough, under the ancient tree, there was indeed a red, shiny and crystal-clear red ling grass swaying gently.

Although the red Ling grass is only a low-grade spiritual plant, spiritual plants are scarce in the world today. For them, it is a rare treasure.

Zhang Er carefully picked the red Ling grass and handed it to Li Jingze with both hands.

Li Jingze took the Chi Lingcao with an uncontrollable smile on his face, and his eyes flashed with pride and greed.

He patted Zhang Er on the shoulder and said, "Yes! It is indeed Red Ling Grass. Since we can find one here, there may be better spiritual plants ahead. Don't stop, keep going forward, and pick them as we go!"

However, Li Shang looked at the mountains and forests in the distance. They were deep and dark, and seemed to hide countless unknown dangers. He hesitated slightly and said, "That's not appropriate. Let's wait for the Great Elder to return before we go forward together."

Li Jingze waved his hand and said impatiently, "What are we waiting for? There are more than just our group going into the mountains tonight. What if all the good stuff has been picked up by those ahead of us? Wouldn't our trip be in vain? We'd better pick it up first, so as not to end up empty-handed."

After hearing what Li Jingze said, Zhang Er agreed, "Young Master is right. Third Young Master, why don't we continue on our way and leave some marks along the way? That way, when the Great Elder returns, he'll naturally catch up with us when he sees the marks, and we won't have to waste time here."

Without waiting for Li Shang to say anything, Li Jingze could no longer hold back and walked towards the forest in front. Zhang Er also hurriedly followed, and then Tao Hua, supporting Sun Lu, followed behind them.

Xiao Jing and Li Su looked at Li Shang. Li Shang sighed helplessly and gestured to follow.

The team set off again. Everyone held up flashlights, and the beams of light shuttled through the woods. Everyone discovered spiritual plants one after another.

There was excitement in their eyes. They bent down and picked the fruits carefully, with a slight smile on their faces.

However, Bai Ningyu was not very interested in these spiritual plants. She just picked a few occasionally and threw them into the medicinal field in the space.

There is abundant spiritual energy in the space. I believe that it won’t be long before these spiritual plants will grow into a large area.

Just as she was casually glancing around, Bai Ningyu's gaze suddenly stopped on a vine covered with small white flowers.

Those flowers looked very much like gardenias. She had an idea and went forward to take a closer look. They turned out to be silver jade flowers!

Silver Jade Flower is an important material for refining the sixth-grade bone-growing pill, and it is extremely rare. I didn’t expect to encounter it here. It’s really a good harvest.

Thinking of this, Bai Ningyu immediately took out a small shovel from the space and carefully began to dig up the silver jade flower.

She moved skillfully and dug out the entire silver jade flower in a short while.

Seeing Bai Ningyu abandon the mountain of spiritual plants and instead dig up a broken flower, Li Jingze's eyes immediately flashed with disdain, and he sneered, "Oh, women, you can't live without flowers and plants wherever you go. You think a broken mountain gardenia is a treasure? It's really laughable."

Hearing Li Jingze's ridicule, Bai Ningyu just smiled faintly and ignored it.

She secretly marveled in her heart, these people actually don't know the Silver Jade Flower!? But this is also good, this jewel treasure won't have to be divided among them. Bai Ningyu was delighted and quickly put away the Silver Jade Flower, quietly following behind the team.

After walking for about an hour, the atmosphere in the forest became increasingly eerie, the fog thicker, and the surrounding trees seemed to be shrouded in a misty veil. Occasionally, the roars of unknown animals could be heard in the distance, mixed in with the wind, like whispers from the abyss.

The flashlight beam seemed particularly weak in the fog, as if even the light was swallowed up by this strange forest.

At this moment, a vague figure appeared in front of them and slowly walked towards them. The person was holding something in his hand, and his steps were steady and powerful.

Everyone stopped and swept their flashlights towards the person until they could see his face clearly.

"It's the Great Elder!" Zhang Er exclaimed.

When the great elder came closer, everyone could see clearly that what he was holding in his hand was the corpse of a wolf.

"This is a spotted wolf I encountered while tracking the fog monster." The elder casually tossed the wolf's body to Li Su. "Its bones and inner elixir can be used to refine weapons. You can take care of it."

Li Su took the wolf corpse and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he frowned and said, "Hey, there seems to be something wrong with this wolf."

He pointed to the white hair on the wolf's head and explained, "Piebald wolves don't usually have white hair, but this wolf has white hair on its head, which means it's a scout in the pack."

Zhang Er came forward and asked curiously, "Scout? What does that mean?"

Li Su continued to explain: "Scouts are scouts in the wolf pack, responsible for exploring the way for the wolf pack. Wolves usually don't act alone, and the presence of scouts means that there may be wolf activity nearby."

Li Shang's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Are you saying we'll encounter a large pack of wolves ahead?"

Li Su nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, it is indeed the case. If we encounter a large pack of wolves, it will be troublesome. Why don't we take a detour?"

The Great Elder was silent for a moment, then asked, "Li Su, how many wolves do you estimate are in the pack?"

Li Su thought for a moment before answering, "If we talk about the large wolf packs in Yumen Mountain, there are tens of thousands of them, but they only appear in large numbers during the winter hunts. During this season, the wolf packs are not very large, and are usually around a hundred or so."

Li Jingze sneered disdainfully, raised his hand and pulled the white hair from the wolf's forehead, sneering, "They're just a bunch of beasts, yet they can actually scare the likes of you. If we encounter a pack of wolves, we can just slaughter them and harvest some wolf bones and wolf pills. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Bai Ningyu snorted coldly, "Young Master Li, that's easy to say. When a wolf pack becomes powerful, it's not just the ordinary beasts you imagine. They fight in packs and are extremely cunning. If you really encounter a large pack of wolves, even a master-level expert wouldn't easily provoke them, let alone you and me."

Li Jingze waved his hand nonchalantly and said to the Great Elder, "It's just a pack of wild wolves. It's no big deal. How can we, the Li family, take a detour just because of a few wolves? If outsiders saw this, wouldn't we be ridiculed?"
