Chapter 230: Inner Mountain
Before Mo Hua entered the inner mountain, Elder Yu secretly gave him a demon hunting order.
"If you take this, you will be considered an official monster hunter."
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "Can I become a demon hunter without going through the demon hunting ceremony?"
First he guarded the spirit mine, and later he built a weapon refining shop and an alchemy shop. After so many things, he was busy practicing and drawing formations on weekdays, so he missed the demon hunting ceremony this year.
Moreover, he is a spiritual cultivator and an array master, so he basically won't fight monsters in close combat. Strictly speaking, he is not suitable to be a monster hunter.
"Those are all false gifts. It doesn't matter. I have the final say whether you are a monster hunter or not. I say you are who you are!"
Elder Yu said confidently.
He is the only foundation-building monk in the demon hunting business, and it is indeed him who has the final say.
Elder Yu hung the Demon Hunting Order around Mo Hua's neck with his own hands, "This Demon Hunting Order is the most critical. If you have the Demon Hunting Order, you are a genuine demon hunter."
"Put a drop of blood on it." Elder Yu said again.
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment.
Seeing Mo Hua's thin skin and tender flesh, Elder Yu thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll help you."
Elder Yu picked up Mo Hua's white little hand, condensed his spiritual power into a thin needle, and pierced Mo Hua's index finger. A drop of blood dripped out and fell on Mo Hua's demon hunting order.
Mo Hua held his finger in his mouth, and the bleeding stopped after a while.
At the same time, his spiritual consciousness trembled slightly, seeming to resonate with the Demon Hunting Order, creating a certain sense of intimacy, as if this bone order was no longer a dead object, but a part of the maintenance of his spiritual consciousness.
"Is this a blood confession?"
"That's true, but this Demon Hunting Order is not a spiritual weapon with spiritual consciousness, so it is a bit reluctant to claim the owner with blood. At most, it can be regarded as... claiming it with a seal."
"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.
Then he touched the demon hunting order and asked curiously: "Elder Yu, how on earth was this demon hunting order made?"
Elder Yu found a chair and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and said:
"It was passed down from the ancestors of the demon hunters. It is said that there are many bone trees growing in the world. This tree has the blood of the ancient demon. It can be regarded as both a demon and a tree. It looks like a tree, but the trunk is made of bones and the branches are Bones, even leaves are bone fragments.”
"The Demon Hunting Token is made of bone wood from the bone tree. Once a monster is killed, the Bone Token will sense it and produce bleeding marks, which will be counted as the monster hunter's meritorious service in killing the monster."
"The more and denser the bloodstains are, the higher the merit will be. When you go out and brag to others, you will have more cards."
Mo Hua's face was complicated, "Is this just for bragging..."
"It's mainly used to show your qualifications. The monster hunting orders for veterans and novices are completely different. Of course, it's also very convenient for bragging."
Elder Yu raised his eyebrows and said to Mo Hua:
"You go out and brag about how many monsters you have killed in your life. If you don't have proof, who will believe it? This demon hunting order is the proof. If you take it out, it will be covered with blood marks. If you start bragging again, you will be more confident. "
Judging from Elder Yu's appearance, he probably brags a lot...
Mo Hua asked again: "Can we do this demon hunting order ourselves?"
Elder Yu shook his head, "No, this is done by Daoting and distributed uniformly. ̢̜̳̱͈̹͓͛͜ḩ̷̻̩͍̱̗͔̺̏̓͊̀͂̀ͅṵ̵̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̉̓̓͊̑̂̑x̸͂͊̂̊̕ ͍̘̳̀͊͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶ ͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̝̳̠͇͕̲̹̔̈́՝͝m ̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̋̌You may not think that they all look the same, but Daoting actually has a record of each monster hunting order and cannot fake it. "
Mo Hua looked over and over, but couldn't find any mark, and he didn't know what Ting recorded based on it.
Is it some special formation?
Elder Yu secretly said to Mo Hua again: "Yours is special. It is made from the bone wood in the center of the annual rings of the bone tree. I have hidden it for decades and I am not willing to give it away."
Mo Hua suddenly felt that the demon hunting order was heavy, "Aren't you going to leave it to Uncle Yu and the others?"
Elder Yu snorted, "I'm too lazy to give it to my idiot son."
Ink painting is a bit deserved.
Elder Yu said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. It grows on a bone tree. Whether it is branches or leaves, the effect is actually the same. It's just a little more particular. Don't take it to heart."
Mo Hua felt a little relieved and nodded.
"Put it away, don't lose it." Elder Yu ordered.
"good!"
In addition to the warm elixir given by Mr. Feng, Mo Hua now has a demon hunting order made of demon bone on his neck.
The next day, Mo Hua packed up and went into the inner mountain with Mo Shan.
There are miasma and poisonous swamps in the inner mountains, which are much more toxic than the outer mountains.
As long as you are careful in the outer mountains, it's okay even if you don't prepare elixirs, but in the inner mountains, elixirs are indispensable.
There are various medicine bottles in Mo Hua's storage bag, including Miasma Pill, Poison Pill, Qingxin Pill, Hemostatic Pill and so on.
This large package of elixirs was prepared for him by Mr. Feng.
In addition, there were some dried meat, wine and cakes prepared by her mother for him.
So at dawn, Mo Hua got ready to go, had a quick bite, and then entered Dahei Mountain with Mo Shan.
They trekked all the way through the outer mountains and arrived at the inner mountains.
Mo Hua took a Miasma-preventing Pill and then looked at the environment inside the mountain.
The terrain of the inner mountains is more complex, the trees are denser, the mountain roads are more rugged, and it is harder to identify the direction.
The miasma is strong and the fog is thick and thin.
When the fog is heavy, you can hardly see your hand in front of you. After walking a few steps, it may all dissipate. After walking a few more steps, the surroundings may be shrouded in thick fog again.
Quite weird.
Mo Shan said: "If you see thick fog in the distance, try to avoid it. If you can't avoid it, be more careful. Don't take unfamiliar roads. It's better to wait for a while in the same place than to act rashly..."
"Otherwise, it's easy to lose direction and go into the depths of the forest by mistake, encountering unknown dangers."
Mo Hua nodded.
The inner mountain is much larger than the outer mountain. Even Mo Shan, who has hunted monsters in the inner mountain for so many years, has never walked every corner.
So he can only take Mo Hua and walk along the main mountain road to familiarize himself with the environment of the inner mountain.
Once in danger, know where to run. If you get lost, know how to get out of the mountain and how to go home.
The inner mountain has complex mountains and rugged terrain. The two walk for a while and rest for a while.
When resting, Mo Hua will take out the map and add and draw on it.
He asked Elder Yu for this map. It was originally very simple, with only the mountain terrain and the general mountain path marked, and nothing else.
So Mo Hua wanted to improve the map of the inner mountain.
He had done this in the outer mountain before. It not only helped him get familiar with the environment, but also made it easier to collect herbs, spices and minerals. If he encountered an emergency in the mountain, it would be much easier to have a map to refer to.
It took about half a month, and he walked the main mountain road several times. Mo Hua was also familiar with the environment of the inner mountain.
His inner mountain map was also marked and added with a lot of things.
What Mo Hua had to do next was to set up the Si Nan Zi Mu Fu Array first.
Mo Hua was a formation master, and he was still not at ease if he didn't put some formations in the inner mountain.
With the Si Nan Zi Mu Fu Array, he could sense the fluctuations of spiritual power, which was convenient for him to join in the fun, and also convenient for him to predict in advance and run away in advance.
It was also convenient for him to bleed the monsters.
Mo Hua couldn't do this kind of thing alone, so he asked some monster hunter uncles to help.
Yu Chengyi called a dozen demon hunters at the ninth level of Qi Refining to help Mo Hua place the stone needles with the Si Nan sub-array.
Because the inner mountain is very large, one Si Nan mother array compass cannot take care of the whole situation, so Mo Hua drew two sets, divided into two compasses, A and B.
Compass A observes the south, and compass B observes the north.
He also made a set for Mo Shan and Yu Chengyi to facilitate the demon hunters to act in the inner mountain.
Yu Chengyi was overjoyed. With this set of array compasses, they were much safer when acting in the inner mountain.
Whether it was hunting monsters, predicting dangers, or helping each other, it was much more convenient than before, and they no longer had to rely solely on the experience and feelings of the demon hunters.
