If buying was not viable, then the only option was to mix it himself.
To mix it, Second-grade Monster Blood was needed…
After giving it some thought, Mo Hua had an idea and asked his mother to prepare a few bags of dried fish, even making them into spicy, flavorful, and fresh varieties.
Early in the morning, Mo Hua, carrying the dried fish, headed to Big Black Mountain and found Big Tiger.
Big Tiger’s eyes lit up as it caught the scent of fish but then tried to appear restrained with a “roar,” indicating it was a tiger, not really fond of fish.
“Mhm, mhm,” Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, “I understand.”
He then stealthily handed the dried fish to Big Tiger.
Big Tiger was satisfied.
Mo Hua asked, “Big Tiger, do you have ‘enemies’ in these deep mountains?”
“Oh, not ‘enemies,’ perhaps… ‘monster enemies’?”
Although Big Tiger couldn’t speak, it was cunning enough to understand the gist of Mo Hua’s words.
Upon hearing “enemies,” Big Tiger nodded its head, then looked at Mo Hua with confusion.
Mo Hua slapped his chest, “I’ll take revenge for you!”
Big Tiger was stunned and then looked at Mo Hua, who was just a “little one” compared to itself, visibly doubtful.
“Don’t worry, I’m very strong…”
Big Tiger laid down to sleep, ignoring Mo Hua.
Mo Hua cajoled and bribed with “dried fish,” finally convincing Big Tiger.
A Second-grade Monster Beast in Big Black Mountain had virtually no natural enemies.
And the only ones who could deal with Second-grade Monster Beasts were other Second-grade Monster Beasts.
Mo Hua decided to join forces with Big Tiger, to hunt down Second-grade Monster Beasts; then Big Tiger would eat the meat, and he himself would extract the blood to use for Drawing Formation.
So, a little Cultivator and a Big Tiger started to “join forces”…
Big Tiger’s “enemy” was a Second-grade Kui Wood Wolf.
Big Tiger led Mo Hua near the den of the Kui Wood Wolf, crouching in the bushes, glaring with anger in its eyes.
The den was spacious and damp but not very deep.
