Mo Hua, following Mo Shan, spent some time getting acquainted with the outer mountain. After that, he personally drew a map of the outer mountain.
This so-called map is the kind used by demon hunters. It marks the mountain's terrain, streams and rivers, poisonous miasma and swamps, areas where demonic beasts appear, and so on.
Mo Shan also has a map, but it's very basic. You can only see some mountain paths on it, nothing else.
For old demon hunters, the map isn't drawn on paper; it's recorded in their minds.
You can't possibly stop to look at a map to figure out where to run when a demonic beast is chasing you...
But Mo Hua isn't an old demon hunter, and he doesn't even count as a demon hunter, so he wants to draw a more detailed map.
Mo Hua then built upon Mo Shan's old map, adding his own markings.
From the mountain terrain to the streams, every point of interest along the way was carefully and meticulously marked.
By the time Mo Shan had taken him around the outer mountain several times, Mo Hua had also slowly enriched the map. Finally, the entire terrain of the outer mountain was not only drawn on the map but also imprinted in his mind.
Mo Shan casually tested Mo Hua with a few questions.
For example, where there's poisonous miasma, where demonic beasts appear, where the camp is, where to hide if he encounters danger, and so on.
Mo Hua answered fluently, even more clearly than some old demon hunters.
Mo Shan let out a sigh, then a breath of relief, and after that didn't pay much attention to Mo Hua.
Thus, Mo Hua found Da Hu and his two brothers again, and the few of them entered the mountain together.
Da Hu and the others killed the demonic beasts, Mo Hua released the blood, and then everyone shared the spirit stones.
The division of labor was clear, simple, and efficient.
"But, Uncle Mo really let you enter the mountain..."
Xiao Hu still found it a bit hard to believe.
"Didn't you all enter the mountain too? I can too."
Mo Hua said this while releasing blood from a demonic beast that looked like a wild boar.
"That's not the same..."
"Exactly, that day when I saw that Liánhuǒ Gǒu rush towards you, I was scared to death..."
"Fortunately, your movement technique was good, otherwise it would have been too terrifying."
Even now, the three of them still had lingering fears when they thought about it.
"However, Mo Hua, your movement technique is really impressive!"
Er Hu couldn't help but praise.
He had never seen that kind of movement technique before, like flowing water and a butterfly at the same time, suddenly left, suddenly right, making it unpredictable.
When the enraged Liánhuǒ Gǒu was close enough to tear and bite, not even a corner of his clothes was touched.
Mo Hua said somewhat shyly, "Thanks to that kind old uncle who passed by... But I've only learned a little bit."
He carefully put away the jade bottles filled with demonic blood, then Mo Hua said:
"I'm done releasing the blood, you guys skin it. This pig is very big, estimated to sell for quite a few spirit stones."
Da Hu and the two brothers' spirits lifted, and they began to skin and bone the pig demon, preparing to sell it for spirit stones.
Mo Hua, who was idle, looked at his storage bag. There were already dozens of bottles of demonic blood inside.
But Mo Hua felt it wasn't enough.
Nine array patterns is a big hurdle for array masters.
After the sixth layer of Qi Refining, one needs to solve the array to break through the bottleneck of Tiān Yǎn Jue, which is also a big hurdle.
These two big hurdles require drawing many arrays, so the more spirit ink the better.
It's better to stockpile more demonic blood.
But... how can he stockpile more?
Mo Hua frowned slightly.
Da Hu and the three of them are only at the sixth layer of Qi Refining after all. If they can kill one demonic beast a day, that's already very good.
Mo Hua himself, when facing a near-death demonic beast, could maneuver around it with his movement technique, but killing it was a bit difficult. He could only rely on the fireball technique.
The power of the fireball technique wasn't very great. Against thick-skinned demonic beasts, especially fire-attribute demonic beasts, the effect was even further reduced.
Killing a near-death demonic beast would probably require several additional fireball techniques.
Mo Hua practiced the fireball technique whenever he had free time. Now his fireball technique was very accurate and fast, and he could even strike before the demonic beast.
But even if he could use the fireball technique to kill ten demonic beasts, as long as there was a small flaw and he was caught by a demonic beast, he would be in danger.
This risk wasn't worth taking for ten bottles of demonic blood and some spirit stones.
Mo Hua thought for several days but still couldn't find a good solution.
Until this day, while strolling in the outer mountain and conveniently supplementing his map, he encountered Yu Chengyi, who was leading a team of demon hunters.
Yu Chengyi is Elder Yu's eldest son, at the ninth layer of Qi Refining cultivation. His cultivation is not bad, and he has quite a bit of prestige among demon hunters.
Normally, he leads teams for demon hunting in the inner mountain, but a few days ago he received news that a rather tricky demonic beast had appeared in the outer mountain. Although it was only a mid-stage first-grade, it was very difficult to deal with.
Yu Chengyi happened to have free time today, so he temporarily led some demon hunters to the outer mountain to hunt this demonic beast.
Yu Chengyi was fully alert and searching for the demonic beast's tracks with some demon hunters when he heard someone call him. The voice was still very childish.
Yu Chengyi was startled. He looked up and saw a very young cultivator standing on a distant mountain rock waving at him.
He was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.
Where did this child come from?
This is Dà Hēi Shān!
How did this child get in? How dare he come in? Isn't he afraid of being eaten by demonic beasts?
By the time Yu Chengyi recognized who it was, his heart jumped again in fright and he exclaimed, "Mo Hua?!"
He still remembered Mo Hua.
Mo Shan's son, not very old, well-behaved appearance, draws arrays very well, and his father told him to take more care of him.
Yu Chengyi's heart turned cold, followed by a wave of fear.
A small array master among the demon hunters! If he were eaten by a demonic beast, what a huge loss that would be.
Yu Chengyi flashed over, covering ground quickly, directly to Mo Hua's side, hugged Mo Hua down from the mountain rock, and put him on the ground.
"Uncle Yu, your movement technique is really good!"
Mo Hua praised after landing.
"It's okay."
Yu Chengyi was a little modest, then thought it wasn't right. Is this the time to talk about this?
He looked at Mo Hua, then looked around, and couldn't help but ask, "Your dad?"
"My dad is in the inner mountain."
"No... Isn't your dad with you?"
"I can't go to the inner mountain," Mo Hua said.
Mo Shan let him play in the outer mountain and repeatedly told him not to go to the inner mountain. Mo Hua also firmly obeyed; he wouldn't go to the inner mountain even if he were beaten to death.
Yu Chengyi said, "I mean, isn't your dad by your side?"
"Um, he wants to go demon hunting in the inner mountain, and he can't always accompany me."
Yu Chengyi was speechless. "You mean, Mo Shan brought you into the mountain, and then threw you into the outer mountain?"
Is Mo Shan crazy?
"Not really," Mo Hua said, "I came with Da Hu and them. My dad only let me stay in the outer mountain and wouldn't let me enter the inner mountain."
Yu Chengyi slowly asked, word by word, "You mean, Mo Shan, he allowed you to enter the outer mountain?"
Mo Hua nodded.
Yu Chengyi was a little angry.
What kind of joke is this? The outer mountain is also Dà Hēi Shān! There's poison, miasma, and demonic beasts!
Don't underestimate the outer mountain!
A long time passed, and Yu Chengyi couldn't calm down.
"Let's not talk about this," Mo Hua said, "Uncle Yu, can you do me a favor?"
Yu Chengyi had asked some irrelevant questions, interrupting Mo Hua's thoughts and almost making him forget what he originally wanted to do.
"Help?" Yu Chengyi was startled. "Find someone to send you back?"
"No," Mo Hua waved his hand, "I just entered the mountain not long ago, why would I go back?"
Mo Hua secretly sized up the demon hunters behind Yu Chengyi and said in a low voice:
"Can I borrow a few people from you?"
