Later, Mo Hua told Cheng Mo and the others all the methods Monster Hunters commonly use to set traps with formations.
“Did you get it?”
Cheng Mo nodded, and then shook his head.
He is only suited for swinging an axe, not for such brain-racking tasks.
On the contrary, Hao Xuan was serious and remembered everything clearly.
Mo Hua then reminded them of some precautions.
A few days later, during their period of rest, Cheng Mo and the others set out again.
This time Mo Hua stayed in the Sect, cultivating and drawing Formations, waiting for news from Cheng Mo and the others.
Two days later, Cheng Mo and the others returned.
The group looked relaxed, and Cheng Mo especially, puffing out his chest and strutting about with a proud and triumphant air.
“In the mountains, we set stone needles inscribed with the Small Yuan Magnetic Formation. Any slight disturbance, and we’d know everything.”
“The flying thief was no exception.”
“As soon as he showed up, we caught him.”
“But his movement technique was good, he ran fast, fortunately, Yang Qianjun’s shooting was accurate, a shot landed on his back, and Situ Jian, quick with his hands, immediately stabbed a silver needle into the thief’s wound.”
“With the silver needle in his body, like a fish that swallowed a hook, no matter how much he swam, there was always a line tugging on him.”
“Like cats catching a mouse, we chased him around the mountains.”
“Eventually, when he was utterly exhausted, we set the formations in advance and finally caught this damned thief.”
“When caught, the thief still had a look of disbelief on his face, constantly asking ‘How on earth did you guys catch me?’
“Without a word, I gave him a good beating…”
Cheng Mo described the encounter vividly, feeling very exhilarated.
After finishing his story, Cheng Mo also offered a big chicken leg to Mo Hua, praising, “As expected of Junior Brother!”
Mo Hua took the chicken leg, took a bite, and nodded in satisfaction.
From then on, Cheng Mo would undertake rewards, and whenever there was an issue, he would seek advice from Mo Hua.
He would also often buy stone needles, spirit needles, or array plates for scouting, tracking, or setting ambushes from Mo Hua.
With these specially made spiritual tools and formation media, capturing Sin Cultivators was virtually twice as effective with half the effort.
One day, while Mo Hua was eating in the dining hall,
the tall and robust Cheng Mo came over with a Disciple, walking up to Mo Hua.
Cheng Mo told the Disciple, “Call him Junior Brother!”
The Disciple respectfully called out to Mo Hua, “Junior Brother.”
Mo Hua was momentarily startled.
For a moment, he had an illusion as if he had become the “gang leader” with others coming to “pay tribute” to him.
