Chapter 125 Entering the Mountain

"Monster hunting is dangerous. I didn't want you to do this, but now that you have learned the skills to protect yourself, I will teach you all the skills of monster hunting."

Mo Shan looked at Mo Hua and said, "These are the lessons learned by monster hunters over the past tens of thousands of years with their lives and blood. You should learn them well. Even if you don't become a monster hunter in the future, they will definitely be useful."

Mo Hua's face was serious and he nodded solemnly.

"The first point of hunting monsters is not to kill monsters, but to be familiar with the mountain terrain."

"The terrain of Dahei Mountain is complex and the mountains are intricate. You must first be familiar with the mountain roads, know where there are peaks, where there are cliffs, where there are caves, where monsters appear, where the miasma is strong, and which spiritual herbs are poisonous..."

"If you are familiar with these, when you encounter danger, even if your cultivation is not enough, you will know how to avoid it and will not lose your life."

"On the contrary, if you don't know the mountain terrain and geography, you will either inhale miasma, eat poisonous herbs, or enter the monster cave by mistake. In this way, even if your cultivation is high, it is difficult to walk out of Dahei Mountain alive."

"I will take you to walk around the outer mountain. You should remember the terrain of the mountain and the locations of some streams, miasma, poisonous swamps, and dense forests..."

After Mo Shan finished speaking, he walked forward along the mountain road.

Mo Hua followed closely behind, remembering the mountain road under his feet and the scenery along the way.

When encountering some dangerous places, Mo Shan would deliberately stop and explain to Mo Hua in detail.

For example, where the miasma is light, and which mountain has the thick miasma. In places with strong miasma, you should not stay for more than half an hour, otherwise the miasma will enter your body and make your mind dizzy.

Some dense forests will have thick fog. If you are unlucky enough to enter by mistake, you will lose your way. Unless it is past noon and the mountain fog dissipates, you will never get out.

There are some poisonous monsters in some poisonous swamps, and their skin color changes with the grass and trees, so you need to be careful.

Which mountain peaks will have big monsters, and when the big monsters appear, what signs will there be...

...

In this way, from morning to night, only a small part of the outer mountain of Dahei Mountain has been walked.

When it was getting dark, Mo Shan took Mo Hua to a small camp on the mountainside.

The camp was a small cave, the entrance was covered with grass and trees, and then sealed with an iron door. There was also a simple formation painted on the door to prevent being attacked by monsters.

The camp was not big, but there were some dry food, weeds and a few simple stone beds.

"This is a temporary camp for demon hunters to rest or spend the night. It is relatively simple, but it is enough for shelter."

Mo Shan pointed to the iron gate and said, "There is a formation on the door. It is not easy to use, but it can be used. If you are chased by a demon beast and have nowhere to hide, you can hide in the camp and open the formation. Ordinary demon beasts cannot get in."

Mo Hua nodded.

The father and son spent a night in the camp.

The next day, at dawn, they got up again and continued to walk along the mountain road.

Mo Shan walked and explained all the way.

In this way, they walked day and night in Dahei Mountain for seven days, and Mo Shan finally took Mo Hua to walk the outer mountain of Dahei Mountain.

After returning home, Mo Hua felt sore all over, his calves were swollen, and he felt dizzy because he inhaled too much miasma. Although he took the miasma-repelling pill, his forehead still hurt.

Liu Ruhua asked Mr. Feng to prescribe a refreshing decoction for Mo Hua to take, and applied herbs to reduce swelling on him. Seeing that Mo Hua's face was still pale, she felt very distressed and complained to Mo Shan:

"You should teach him slowly, so that he wouldn't have to stay in the mountains for seven days and suffer so much."

Seeing that his wife was angry, Mo Shan also explained in a low voice: "These hardships will have to be endured sooner or later. If you endure a little now, you will feel relaxed in the future."

Liu Ruhua also knew this truth, but she was still angry in her heart. At night, she only gave Mo Shan some porridge and steamed buns, and didn't even give him a dish of pickles.

Mo Shan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After two days, Mo Hua recovered and was fine.

Thinking that he hadn't been to Zuowangju for almost ten days, Mo Hua brought some wine and meat to pay his respects to Mr. Zhuang and explained the whole story.

Seeing that Mo Hua's face was still a little pale, Mr. Zhuang asked him to go back and rest, saying that there were not so many rules here and asked Mo Hua not to take it to heart.

Mo Hua brought some crispy snacks and pine nuts to Kui Lao, and then some food and fruit wine to the Bai brothers and sisters.

Bai Zisheng was extremely envious when he heard that Mo Hua could go into Dahei Mountain to hunt monsters.

He was strictly controlled by Aunt Xue, so it was difficult for him to go around, let alone hunt monsters.

Mo Hua patted his shoulder sympathetically, but could do nothing to help.

A few days later, Mo Shan took Mo Hua into Dahei Mountain again.

This time, there was no need to explain everything in detail, just to familiarize himself with the terrain of the mountain, so it only took three or four days to walk through the outer mountain.

After that, whenever Mo Shan was free, he would take Mo Hua into the mountain to walk again.

Mo Hua became more and more familiar with the outer mountain of Dahei Mountain.

Mo Shan felt that it was almost done, so he took Mo Hua to a cliff in the outer mountain.

The cliff was steep and rocky, and the scenery on the mountainside could be seen at a glance.

After Mo Shan confirmed that the surroundings were safe, he said to Mo Hua: "You are almost familiar with the outside of the mountain. Now I will teach you how to fight against monsters. What should you pay attention to?"

Mo Hua sat cross-legged on the rock and listened carefully.

"The rules of conduct for demon hunters are, first, knowing yourself and the enemy, and second, being prepared."

"Knowing yourself and the enemy means you need to know your own strength. Whether your cultivation is profound, and what spells, martial arts, spiritual weapons and other tricks you have. At the same time, you need to know the demon beast, including its realm, blood, demon power and habits. Where the demon beast is strong, where it is weak, whether it is vicious, whether it will fake its death, etc."

"Then measure each other's strength. If you can kill, you can do it. If you can't kill, don't act rashly."

"If you find something wrong in the middle of the fight, , if you can't kill the monsters that you could kill before, you should make plans early and withdraw in time. Otherwise, when your spiritual power is exhausted, you will be the one who dies. "

...

"Preparation is the key to prepare for a rainy day. Everything should be planned in advance. Especially when facing powerful monsters, whether you can kill them, what to kill them with, how to kill them, and what to do if something unexpected happens, all need to be considered in advance. "

"If you don't plan well in advance and act rashly, once there is a mistake, casualties are inevitable. "

...

Mo Shan said a lot in detail.

Mo Hua listened attentively and understood it carefully.

"Listen now, and you will understand it naturally after fighting with monsters more often."

Mo Hua nodded.

"There is another thing you have to remember," Mo Shan reminded again, "no matter what happens, don't take action if you can, but once you take action, you must be ruthless!"

"Ruthless?" Mo Hua was a little surprised.

"Monster hunters take monsters as their enemies. If you are not ruthless, the monsters will be ruthless. If you do not kill monsters, they will be killed by them."

"How ruthless should you be?"

Mo Shan raised his eyebrows and said:

"When you are not making a move, do not show any killing intent. When you should make a move, do not hesitate at all."

"As long as the opponent reveals a flaw, strike first and kill him with one blow. Do not give the opponent a chance to make a move."

"An opponent who does not make a move is a good opponent!"

Mo Hua was a little surprised when his father with thick eyebrows and big eyes said such words.

Mo Hua hesitated for a while and could not help but confirm: "Is this considered a bit...unfair victory?"

Mo Shan's expression condensed and he said solemnly: "For monster hunters, there is no victory or defeat, only life and death. No matter how unfair the victory is, you can still live. No matter how glorious the loss is, you will still die."

After Mo Shan finished speaking, he touched Mo Hua's head:

"It is not easy for casual cultivators to survive. If you can survive, you should try your best to survive."
