Chapter 230 Inner Mountain
Before Mo Hua entered the inner mountain, Elder Yu secretly gave him a demon hunting order.
"Take this, and you will be a formal demon hunter."
Mo Hua was stunned, "Can you become a demon hunter without going through the demon hunting ceremony?"
First, he guarded the spiritual mine, and then he built a weapon refining business and an alchemy business. After so many things, he was busy practicing and drawing formations on weekdays, so he missed the demon hunting ceremony this year.
Moreover, he is a spiritual cultivator and a formation master. He basically won't fight with demon beasts in close combat. Strictly speaking, he is not suitable to be a demon hunter.
"That's all empty ceremony, it doesn't matter. I have the final say on whether you are a demon hunter or not. If I say you are, you are!"
Elder Yu said confidently.
He is the only foundation-building cultivator in the demon hunting business, and he really has the final say.
Elder Yu personally hung the Monster Hunting Order on Mo Hua's neck, "This Monster Hunting Order is the most important. If you have the Monster Hunting Order, you are a genuine monster hunter."
"Drop a drop of your blood on it." Elder Yu said again.
Mo Hua was stunned.
Elder Yu saw that Mo Hua was delicate and tender, thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, I'll help you."
Elder Yu took Mo Hua's fair little hand, and his spiritual power condensed into a fine needle, piercing Mo Hua's index finger. A drop of blood dripped out and fell on Mo Hua's Monster Hunting Order.
Mo Hua held his finger, and the bleeding stopped after a while.
At the same time, his spiritual consciousness trembled slightly, as if he had some kind of resonance with the Monster Hunting Order, and gave birth to some kind of intimacy, as if this bone order was no longer a dead object, but a part of the maintenance of his spiritual consciousness.
"Is this a blood oath?"
"It can be considered as such, but this demon hunting order is not a spiritual weapon with spiritual awareness, so it is a bit of a stretch to say that it is a blood oath. At most, it can be considered as... a stamp of recognition."
"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.
Then he touched the Monster Hunting Order and asked curiously, "Elder Yu, how was this Monster Hunting Order made?"
Elder Yu found a chair and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said:
"It was passed down by the ancestors of the monster hunters. It is said that there are many bone trees in the world. This tree has the blood of the ancient monsters. It can be considered a monster and a tree. It looks like a tree, but the trunk is bone, the branches are bone, and even the leaves are bone pieces."
"The Monster Hunting Order is made of bone wood from the bone tree. Once a monster is killed, the bone order will be sensitive and produce blood marks, which are counted as the merits of the monster hunter in hunting monsters."
"The more and denser the blood marks, the higher the merits, and it will be more impressive when you brag to others."
Mo Hua's face was complicated, "Is this for bragging..."
"It's mainly for showing qualifications , the hunting orders of veterans and novices are completely different, and of course they are also very convenient for bragging. "
Elder Yu raised his eyebrows and said to Mo Hua:
"You go out and brag about how many monsters you have killed in your life. Without proof, who will believe you? This hunting order is the proof. You take it out, and it is covered with bloodstains. When you brag again, you will have more confidence."
Looking at Elder Yu's appearance, it is estimated that he has boasted to others a lot...
Mo Hua asked again: "Can we make this hunting order ourselves?"
Elder Yu shook his head, "No, it is made by the Dao Court and issued uniformly. Although they look similar, the Dao Court actually has records of each hunting order, and they cannot be faked."
Mo Hua looked over and over again, but did not find any marks, and did not know what the court used to record.
Is it some special formation?
Elder Yu secretly told Mo Hua: "Your one is special. It is made of the bone wood in the center of the bone tree's annual ring. I have kept it for decades and I am reluctant to give it away."
Mo Hua suddenly felt that the Monster Hunting Order was heavy, "Aren't you going to leave it to Uncle Yu and the others?"
Elder Yu snorted, "I don't bother to give it to my stupid son."
Mo Hua felt a little guilty.
Elder Yu said: "It's nothing. Whether it grows on a bone tree, whether it is branches or leaves, the effect is actually the same. It's just a little more particular. Don't take it to heart."
Mo Hua felt relieved and nodded.
"Keep it well, don't lose it." Elder Yu instructed.
"Okay!"
In addition to the warm Danyu given by Mr. Feng, Mo Hua now has a Monster Hunting Order made of monster bones on his neck.
The next day, Mo Hua packed up and went into the inner mountain with Mo Shan.
There are miasma and poisonous swamps in the inner mountain, which are much more toxic than the outer mountain.
In the outer mountains, as long as you are careful, it doesn't matter if you don't prepare elixirs, but in the inner mountains, elixirs are indispensable.
Mo Hua's storage bag contains various medicine bottles, including elixirs for warding off miasma, elixirs for warding off poison, elixirs for clearing the heart, elixirs for stopping bleeding, etc.
This large bag of elixirs was prepared for him by Mr. Feng.
In addition, there are some dried meat, fermented rice wine and cakes prepared for him by her mother.
So as soon as the sky was light, Mo Hua was ready to go, ate a simple meal, and entered the Great Black Mountain with Mo Shan.
They trekked all the way through the outer mountains and arrived at the inner mountains.
Mo Hua took a elixirs for warding off miasma, and then looked at the environment of the inner mountains.
The mountains in the inner mountains are more complex, the forests are denser, the mountain roads are more rugged, and it is more difficult to identify the direction.
The miasma is strong, and the fog is thick and thin.
When the fog is heavy, you can hardly see your hand in front of you. After walking a few steps, it may all dissipate. After walking a few more steps, the surroundings may be shrouded in thick fog again.
Quite weird.
Mo Shan said: "If you see thick fog in the distance, try to avoid it. If you can't avoid it, you must be more careful. Don't take unfamiliar roads. It's better to wait in place for a while, and don't act rashly..."
"Otherwise, it's easy to lose direction, go into the depths of the mountains and forests, and encounter unknown dangers."
Mo Hua nodded.
The inner mountain is much larger than the outer mountain. Even Mo Shan, who has hunted monsters in the inner mountain for so many years, has never walked every corner.
So he can only take Mo Hua and walk along the main mountain road to familiarize himself with the environment of the inner mountain.
Once in danger, know where to run. If you get lost, know how to get out of the mountain and how to go home.
The inner mountain has complex mountains and rugged terrain. The two walk for a while and rest for a while.
During breaks, Mo Hua would take out the map and add some drawings on it.
He asked Elder Yu for this map, which was originally very simple, with only the mountain terrain and the general mountain path marked, and nothing else.
So Mo Hua wanted to improve the map of the inner mountain.
He had done this before in the outer mountain, which not only helped him get familiar with the environment, but also made it easier to collect herbs, spices and minerals. If he encountered an emergency in the mountain, it would be much easier to have a map to refer to.
It took about half a month, and after walking the main mountain path several times, Mo Hua was roughly familiar with the environment of the inner mountain.
His inner mountain map was also marked and added with a lot of things.
What Mo Hua had to do next was to set up the Si Nan Zi Mu Fu Array first.
Mo Hua was a formation master, and he was still not at ease if he didn't put some formations in the inner mountain.
With the Si Nan Zi Mu Fu Array, he could sense the fluctuations of spiritual power, which was convenient for him to join in the fun, and also convenient for him to predict in advance and run away in advance.
It was also more convenient for him to bleed the monsters.
Mo Hua couldn't do this alone, so he asked some demon hunter uncles for help.
Yu Chengyi called a dozen demon hunters at the ninth level of Qi Refining to help Mo Hua place the stone needles with the Si Nan array.
Because the inner mountain is very large, a Si Nan mother array compass cannot take into account the overall situation, so Mo Hua drew two sets, divided into two compasses, A and B.
Compass A observes the south, and compass B observes the north.
He also made a set for Mo Shan and Yu Chengyi respectively, to facilitate the demon hunters to act in the inner mountain.
Yu Chengyi was overjoyed. With this set of array compasses, they were much safer when acting in the inner mountain.
Whether it was hunting monsters, predicting dangers, or helping each other, it was much more convenient than before, and they no longer had to rely solely on the experience and feelings of the demon hunters.
