After this, Big Tiger and the other two had free time, so Mo Hua followed them into the mountains and used trap arrays to hunt demonic beasts.

Everyone divided the spirit stones obtained from killing the demonic beasts, and Mo Hua also got to collect demonic blood.

Big Tiger and the others were happy, but also a little worried, so they said to Mo Hua:

“If we only kill heavily injured demonic beasts like this and don’t fight them head-on, will our Dao techniques become increasingly weak?”

Mo Hua replied: “This is called ‘nurturing war with war’. First, hunt and kill demonic beasts to earn spirit stones and improve your cultivation. When your cultivation is high, it’s not too late to consider fighting head-on.”

Mo Hua looked at them and said: “We are still young. Fighting demonic beasts is inherently a disadvantage. If we don’t think of some methods, we will only lose our lives.”

Big Tiger and the other two nodded repeatedly.

Just like this, the three of them hunted demons according to the methods designed by Mo Hua. They became increasingly skilled and taciturn. When facing demonic beasts, they no longer panicked out of fear like before.

But after killing several demonic beasts like this, an accident still occurred.

One day, they surrounded and killed a mane fire dog that was as tall as a person, with a long tongue and red eyes.

After more than ten rounds, the mane fire dog took a serious injury from Double Tiger’s knife, but it found a gap, its figure flashed, and it escaped from the encirclement of Big Tiger and the other two.

This mane fire dog was a first-grade peak level, and by the looks of it, it was a late-stage first-grade demonic beast. Therefore, the damage caused by the ground fire array was far less severe than to other demonic beasts.

The mane fire dog escaped to ten zhang away, its eyes showing red light, staring intently at Big Tiger and the other two, as if it wanted to remember them. Then it turned to leave.

Halfway there, it sniffed the air and suddenly discovered Mo Hua hiding behind a mountain rock not far away.

Mo Hua, being only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, had low cultivation and weak qi and blood.

The red light in the mane fire dog’s eyes intensified greatly, its two fangs were exposed from the sides of its mouth, a foul odor overflowed, and it drooled as if wanting to bite. With a turn of its body, it rushed straight towards Mo Hua.

Big Tiger urgently shouted: “Mo Hua, run quickly!”

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment.

The mane fire dog had already circled behind him, and its large, gaping mouth directly bit down.

The mane fire dog’s eyes showed a cruel and excited expression, but after its large mouth closed, there was neither sweet blood nor tasty human flesh in its mouth.

It bit empty.

Mo Hua was now standing a zhang away, his expression somewhat tense, but without panic.

The mane fire dog’s eyes showed doubt. It didn’t understand how this little cultivator had managed to hide.

Big Tiger and the other two roared fiercely and rushed over from a distance.

The mane fire dog’s eyes showed sarcasm. It leaped and pounced towards Mo Hua with even greater speed.

Although it was only a zhang away, it arrived in an instant.

Its sharp claws tore towards Mo Hua’s heart. In its eyes, this cultivator cub had no way to avoid it.

But Mo Hua floated back a step without a sign, his body light and composed, easily dodging this claw.

The mane fire dog was stunned for a moment, but Mo Hua took advantage of the retreat, moving back three zhang, his eyes calm and containing a hint of teasing.

This hint of teasing angered the mane fire dog. The red light in its eyes flashed, and its whole body’s fur turned red until it ignited into flames.

When the mane fire dog was extremely angry, its whole body would burn with fierce fire.

“Not good!”

Big Tiger and the other two were rushing halfway when they saw the situation and were shocked.

The extremely angry mane fire dog was like a streak of flame, rushing straight towards Mo Hua. Its speed was faster, and it also brought blazing demonic power.

This flame was transformed from the demonic beast’s demonic power. It could erode a cultivator’s flesh, burn a cultivator’s spirit power, and even destroy a cultivator’s meridians. Once it entered the body, it was very difficult to eradicate.

Mo Hua’s expression also became solemn. He urged his divine sense to the extreme, perceiving the trajectory of the mane fire dog, and at the same time, excited his spirit power, displaying the Passing Water Step.

Every step the mane fire dog advanced, Mo Hua would retreat a step.

Every time the mane fire dog pounced, Mo Hua was always able to drift and dodge by a hair’s breadth, his body form like flowing water, drifting uncertainly, making it difficult to catch.

After several pounces, Mo Hua appeared to be in danger, but he was completely unharmed.

Big Tiger and the other two watched with pounding hearts and wide eyes and mouths agape.

What kind of body technique was this…

Coming back to their senses, the three of them immediately rushed towards Mo Hua.

The mane fire dog pounced several times without success. Seeing that Big Tiger and the others were about to arrive, it also urged its demonic power to the extreme, and the flames on its body became more intense.

It looked at Mo Hua, its eyes filled with fierce murderous intent.

Mo Hua instantly guessed that it wanted to make a desperate move.

As long as it killed himself, ate his flesh and drank his blood, replenishing its blood qi, it could continue to entangle with Big Tiger and the others, or at worst, retreat calmly.

Mo Hua’s gaze condensed, and he condensed a fireball technique in his fingers.

The distance before his eyes was enough for Mo Hua to display the fireball technique, but he didn’t know how effective the fireball technique would be against the demonic beast.

But before Mo Hua could send out the fireball technique, a knife descended from the sky, piercing directly through the mane fire dog and pinning it to the ground.

The mane fire dog struggled several times, and then the flames on its body gradually scattered. Finally, it stopped breathing, only the fierceness in its eyes remaining.

Mo Hua’s heart jolted. He looked up and saw Mo Shan standing alone on a distant mountain rock, his face as still as water.

Mo Hua’s heart felt slightly cold.

It’s over, he secretly entered the mountain and was discovered by his dad.

Mo Hua didn’t tell his dad and mom because he was afraid they would worry, and at the same time, his dad and mom would not agree to Mo Hua entering Big Black Mountain.

Although Big Black Mountain was dangerous, it wasn’t possible to never enter it.

As long as one made sufficient preparations and was cautious and careful, Big Black Mountain was not a tiger’s den from which one had only a slim chance of survival.

Mo Hua knew that he would be discovered by his dad and mom sooner or later, but he didn’t expect to be discovered so early.

His plan to hunt demons in Big Black Mountain had just begun…

Mo Hua sighed, finally understanding the meaning of “enterprise not half, and mid-way collapsed.”

Mo Shan didn’t say anything, but his face was clearly not looking good.

Mo Hua felt uneasy, and Big Tiger and the other two also didn’t dare to breathe.

After packing up the mane fire dog, Mo Shan asked Big Tiger and the others to go back first.

“Uncle Mo, don’t blame Mo Hua, it was us…” Double Tiger said weakly.

“Alright, you go home first,” Mo Shan said lightly.

No one understands a child better than his father.

Although Mo Hua was young, he was very smart and had his own opinions.

Although Big Tiger and the others were a little older than Mo Hua, when they played together, Mo Hua was definitely the one who made the decisions. Entering the mountain to hunt demons, without thinking, was definitely also Mo Hua who persuaded them.

Mo Shan sighed. He wanted to scold Mo Hua a couple of sentences, but he didn’t know how to scold him properly.

After the father and son returned home, they ate silently.

Mo Shan’s face was unhappy, and he didn’t say a word. Mo Hua also looked down at his bowl, obediently eating.

Liu Ru Hua looked doubtfully at Mo Shan, and then curiously at Mo Hua.

After finishing the meal, Mo Shan was about to say something when Liu Ru Hua said: “Hua er, go back to your room and read your books.”

Mo Shan’s words were blocked, and he was stunned for a moment.

Mo Hua felt like a heavy burden had been lifted. He looked gratefully at his mom, then slipped back to his room.

Liu Ru Hua then asked: “What happened?”

Mo Shan sighed and told her about meeting Mo Hua in Big Black Mountain.

Liu Ru Hua’s heart jolted. “Hua er, he dares to be so bold!”

“Yes, ah, Big Black Mountain is so dangerous. If something happened to him…”

Mo Shan frowned and said, his expression somewhat fearful.

“Then what do you plan to do?”

Mo Shan thought for a long time and said:

“I watched him from a distance for a few moments. Hua er entering Big Black Mountain wasn’t out of curiosity or play. He should have some real plans. And in this matter of hunting demons, he is also very methodical. Setting traps, arrays, and cleaning up with Big Tiger and the others, it’s obviously all carefully planned, even more cautious and thorough than some old demon hunting masters…”

“But Big Black Mountain is a place where it’s always better to be safe than sorry. No one knows what danger they will encounter…”

Mo Shan said, his tone firm, “This time I won’t blame him, but he absolutely cannot go to Big Black Mountain again!”

Liu Ru Hua thought for a moment, sighed, held Mo Shan’s hand, and said softly:

“You should know that we, as parents, cannot accompany Hua er for his entire life.”

Thanks to Wang Shui Lun Lian for the reward.

I’ve been updating daily with ten thousand words for a week now. Originally, I planned to switch to a more relaxed two-update mode, but after thinking about it, I’ll continue to persist.

From now on, it should still be five updates of ten thousand words daily. Let’s see if I can persist for a full month.

I hope everyone can subscribe and vote to support me.
