Chapter 121 Harvest (Fifth Update)_1
The Blood Drawing Art could draw the blood of monster beasts that had just recently died.
The Split Claw Wolf Demon lay on the ground, covered in wounds, with fresh blood flowing from its injuries. However, within moments, it congealed. Thus, it was not possible to obtain monster blood through normal means.
Mo Hua pointed to the heart vessel of Split Claw and said to Da’hu, “Make an incision here.”
Da’hu didn’t understand why, but still drew his blade and stabbed into the heart vessel of Split Claw.
The Split Claw’s body was tough, and it took Da’hu several stabs to make a small incision.
Mo Hua placed a jade bottle at the incision, then rested his palm near the heart vessel of Split Claw, sensing the still vibrant monster blood flowing beneath the fur. He then activated his Divine Sense according to the key points of the Blood Drawing Art, leading the monster blood into the jade bottle.
These jade bottles were made from special jade, not particularly precious, but they could preserve Spiritual Energy and also keep the monster blood from spoiling for a period of time.
The jade bottle in Mo Hua’s hand was originally used for containing Spiritual Ink. After the ink was used up, Mo Hua repurposed the bottle.
Mo Hua used the Blood Drawing Art to draw the monster blood into the jade bottle.
After a short while, the jade bottle in his hand was full. Mo Hua sealed it and then exchanged it for another bottle.
Like this, Mo Hua continuously drew ten bottles of monster blood before stopping.
Very little blood remained in the Split Claw’s blood vessels, and it gradually grew cold and flowed more slowly, greatly diminishing its usefulness, so it was not necessary to continue drawing it.
The use of Divine Sense consumed quite a bit of Mo Hua’s energy, roughly equivalent to painting a formation with seven or eight Formation Patterns.
For an average cultivator, this might be a substantial burden, but for Mo Hua, a Formation Master, it really wasn’t much.
Mo Hua sat in meditation to recover a bit of Divine Sense.
Looking at the ten bottles of monster blood in the Storage Bag, Mo Hua couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
This monster blood was sufficient for Mo Hua to paint quite a few formations.
Da’hu and the other two curiously examined the jade bottles and couldn’t help but look at Mo Hua.
Xiaohu couldn’t help but say, “Is this blood useful?”
“Yes, it’s used for Drawing Formations.”
“Can we help you collect monster blood?”
“You need to use the Blood Drawing Art to do it.”
Mo Hua briefly explained how to use the Blood Drawing Art.
Da’hu and the others listened with confusion and eventually decided to give up.
“Mo Hua, you really know a lot,” Shuanghu praised, with Da’hu and Xiaohu nodding in agreement.
Mo Hua said with a smile, “You’ll know if you read more books.”
Mo Hua stored away the monster blood and then said, “So, what should we do with this monster beast?”
Da’hu and the others perked up with excitement. This was the first time they had killed a monster beast on their own and could sell its parts!
Although it was mainly thanks to Mo Hua’s formations, they were still very happy.
“We need to skin it, strip the bones, cut off the teeth and claws, and also get the heart, vessels, and internal organs…”
Shuanghu listed these tasks one by one to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua scratched his head; these matters he really did not know how to handle.
Da’hu said, “You go play around nearby, don’t wander off. We’ll finish stripping this monster beast, then head back together.”
Then Da’hu and the others rolled up their sleeves, took out the Pu Blades, and started to skin the monster beast, extracting other valuable materials.
Two hours earlier, the Split Claw that gleamed fiercely was now dead in a ghastly manner.
Mo Hua didn’t feel sympathy for it, for if it were not the monster beast that had died, they might be the ones being dismembered now.
This monster beast had foul, fishy saliva; it probably had killed not a few Monster Hunters already.
While Da’hu and the others skinned the monster beast, Mo Hua wandered around, looking at the mountains, trees, water, getting to know the environment of Big Black Mountain.
This was his first time entering Big Black Mountain.
In the morning when he went up the mountain, he felt a bit nervous and restrained. But after spending half a day here and having designed and killed a Split Claw, as well as acquiring monster blood, his mindset became much more composed.
The process of hunting the Monster Beasts generally went according to Mo Hua’s plan.
The strategy required attention and patience, but was simple and efficient, maximizing safety and yield.
Afterward, they just needed to make slight adjustments for different Monster Beasts.
In this way, even though Mo Hua was not a Body Cultivator, he could participate in Monster Hunting and hunt different monsters to draw upon their varying Five Elements Monster Blood.
Once Da’hu and the other two had finished skinning the Split Claw, they called for Mo Hua and left Big Black Mountain.
They entered the mountain in the morning, hunted at noon, and left at dusk.
In less than a day, the four of them had hunted a middle-phase rank one Monster Beast.
If it weren’t for the bulging Storage Bags filled with the Split Claw’s hide and claws, Da’hu and the others would believe they were dreaming.
Afterward, they went to the Market Town to sell the Split Claw’s materials.
