Chapter 150 Searching the Mountain (Four Updates) _1
The Monster Hunter began scouring the mountain under the cover of night, but Mo Hua didn’t go.
Both Mo Shan and Elder Yu forbade him from going.
Because a conflict with the Qian Family might occur, the night was dark and windy, and it was still on Big Black Mountain, which would be rather dangerous.
Although Mo Hua was not afraid, he had no intention of taking risks and honestly stayed at home, practicing formations.
The next day, early in the morning, Mo Shan returned, looking exhausted, his body damp with dew, but with no wounds and no signs of having engaged in a fight.
“Didn’t find anything?” Mo Hua asked.
Mo Shan nodded, “The Qian Family has hidden themselves deeply, not a trace to be found.”
“How about taking me with you tonight?”
Mo Shan furrowed his brow, “It’s very dangerous.”
Mo Hua said, “I’ll just stay inside the camp, I won’t go out.”
“Then what are you going there for?” Mo Shan was somewhat puzzled.
Mo Hua chuckled, “You’ll know when the time comes.”
After thinking for a moment, Mo Shan agreed.
With Mo Hua’s movement technique, as long as there wasn’t a melee with the Qian Family, a situation where swords and spiritual power flew indiscriminately, staying just on the outer mountain would be enough to protect himself.
As dusk fell, Big Black Mountain became hazy, as if covered with a layer of black gauze.
Mo Hua followed the Monster Hunter up the mountain, the mountain color pitch-black, too dark to see one’s own fingers.
Only the cold and damp mountain wind blew, rustling the leaves, with the distant howling of Monster Beasts.
Mo Shan took Mo Hua to a campsite, secured the gate, lit a lamp, and took out a fur blanket, wrapping Mo Hua up like a little rice dumpling.
“The mountain nights are cold; don’t catch a chill.”
Mo Hua poked his little head out from the blanket and nodded.
“Be careful, try not to go out, and if you encounter danger, set off your fireworks. Some Monster Hunters will come over,” Mo Shan instructed, not tiring of his caution.
Mo Hua nodded again, “Don’t worry, Dad, I’m familiar with the outer mountain.”
He had run around it countless times, Monster Hunting and drawing blood, searching for spices, mining ores, gathering herbs, and when making maps.
To him, the outer mountain was almost the same as his own backyard.
Even though Big Black Mountain was more dangerous at night, Mo Hua’s Divine Sense was also strong. As long as he was careful, there generally wouldn’t be any major issues.
Besides, many Monster Hunters were now within the outer mountain searching for traces of the Qian Family, and he knew a lot of them.
Mo Shan shook his head with a smile and patted Mo Hua’s little head, “I have to go now, take care of yourself.”
After Mo Shan left, Mo Hua opened his Storage Bag, took out the Compass Mother Formation Disk, and placed it to the side.
Then he released his Divine Sense to check the surroundings, ensured there were no abnormalities, and took out some ink and a brush to redraw a formation on the campsite gate.
The formation was a Compound Formation including the Solid Earth Formation, which could fortify the soil and rock, making the gate much more impregnable.
After all, Mo Hua was going to spend the night in the camp.
As a Formation Master, staying within a formation he had drawn himself was the only way he could feel at ease.
Mo Hua thought silently to himself.
Then he took out some beef and fruit brew, eating and drinking, while under the lamplight, he studied the nine-pattern formation and occasionally glanced at the Compass Mother Formation Disk.
He spent the night quietly this way.
Nothing happened.
Early the next day.
Mo Shan, looking exhausted from searching the mountain all night, saw Mo Hua, who was well-fed and relaxed, feeling somewhat bittersweet.
“Will you come again tomorrow night?” Mo Shan asked.
Mo Hua nodded, “I will.”
In this way, on the second and third nights, Mo Hua followed Mo Shan into Big Black Mountain and stayed in the camp overnight.
Still, nothing happened.
But on the fourth night, as Mo Hua, wrapped in a little blanket, ate lamb and flipped through Formation Books, a light suddenly appeared on the Compass Mother Formation Disk.
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up.
Finally, a slip-up!
The Qian Family Cultivators could hide from the Monster Hunters, but not necessarily from the Monster Beasts.
If they encountered Monster Beasts, there would inevitably be a battle.
As long as there is a battle, there would inevitably be fluctuations in spiritual power; once there are fluctuations, they would trigger the Compass Child Formations laid out by Mo Hua in the mountains. Then, through the Mother Formation Compass, one can determine their location.
However, such battles don’t necessarily occur every day, so it requires a bit of patience, like guarding a stump waiting for rabbits.
