“I just hope nothing unfortunate happens…”
Old Zhao could only mutter to himself in his heart.
Mo Hua walked along the mountain path, then stopped before a stretch of mountain forest.
This was the boundary between the forest and the mountain cliff, an intersection of two paths, the terrain was narrow, and it was a necessary pass for monster beasts entering or leaving the forest.
Next to it, the wild grass was thick, and mountain rocks provided cover for hiding.
Mo Hua set up the traps, laid out the formations, erased any traces, and then used Bloody Herbs to cover the scent. After that, he led everyone to hide behind the rocks.
“We’ll wait here. When the monster beast comes and triggers the traps, I’ll activate the formation, and we… no, you will take action,” Mo Hua said.
He wasn’t about to add to the trouble.
Daping and the others nodded while Old Zhao slightly raised his eyebrows.
He had heard that Mo Shan had a young son who was quite skilled at drawing formations.
But these were monster beasts, with their thick skin and flesh; could formations really be effective…?
Old Zhao’s brow furrowed even more.
Zhou Daping was somewhat anxious, “Brother Mo, are you sure this will work?”
Mo Hua reassured him, “Don’t worry, I’ve tested it, there will be no problem.”
Zhou Daping nodded, but he still seemed uneasy, gripping the handle of his knife tightly.
The other monster hunters were also young, and they all held their breath in concentration, not daring to even breathe loudly.
The waiting was agonizing, and everyone looked very serious.
Only Mo Hua appeared relaxed, even finding it boring, as he picked a blade of grass and started casually drawing formation patterns on the ground.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Daping gently nudged Mo Hua, “Brother Mo… it’s coming.”
His voice trembled slightly from nervousness.
Mo Hua perked up, dropped the grass, and poked his head out to see a goat-like monster beast emerging from the forest.
The monster beast’s eyes were blood-red, and its mouth was covered in fresh blood; it seemed to have just finished devouring its prey.
However, it may have eaten too much, as its vigilance seemed low.
As it slowly walked into the trap and got caught by the Wood Binding Formation, Mo Hua threw a fireball from afar to activate the Earth Fire Formation.
An explosion rang out, fierce flames swirled, spiritual power overflowed, and the surrounding rocks were shattered.
Zhou Daping and the others were stunned.
Mo Hua yelled, “Go for it!”
The group snapped out of their stupor and without further delay, drew their swords and threw their punches, rushing toward the monster beast.
In a short while, the monster beast lay on the ground.
Mo Hua stuck his head out from afar and asked, “Is it dead?”
Seeing the monster beast lying on the ground after just a few rounds, Zhou Daping was stunned for a long time before he slowly replied,
“It’s… it’s dead.”
Mo Hua then ran forward and began drawing the monster blood using the Blood Drawing Art.
The bright red monster blood flowed into the bottle, guided by Mo Hua’s divine sense.
“Brother Mo, this is for…?” Zhou Daping couldn’t help but ask.
“For drawing formations,” Mo Hua replied, continuing to draw blood.
“Oh, I see,” Zhou Daping said, dropping the subject.
After Mo Hua finished with the blood drawing and saw that Zhou Daping and the others were still standing there foolishly, he asked,
“Aren’t you going to skin it?”
“Huh?”
“The monster beast, skin it and remove the bones, take them to sell,” Mo Hua explained.
They then came to their senses and set to work, processing the monster beast and putting it into the storage bag.
Mo Hua did the calculations for them, how many spirit stones the formation would cost, how many to activate the formation. After selling the monster beast and deducting these, the spirit stones would be divided equally among them.
Daping quickly shook his head, “No, this is your achievement, how could we take the spirit stones?”
The others also declined the offer.
“You helped, it’s what you deserve!”
“But…”
Mo Hua didn’t allow them to refuse and waved goodbye, “I’m heading back home now, if there’s anything next time, I’ll ask for your help again.” After saying that, he happily went home.
Daping and the others stood there, exchanging glances, their expressions complex.
After selling the monster beast, each person could share seven or eight spirit stones.
They had never earned so many spirit stones before…
