Chapter 137: Chase (5th Update)
Mo Hua led Zhang Lan and the other two to set off and headed for Guyun Peak.
Mo Hua was very familiar with the mountain roads, so familiar that Zhang Lan found it incredible.
He knew clearly where there were roads, water, poison, and fog.
Sometimes when it seemed that there was no road, he led them to turn left and right in the woods, and there was another road under their feet.
When they encountered monsters, Mo Hua led them to bypass them before they found them.
He could also pick some wild fruits and dig some herbs along the way...
This leisurely stroll seemed as if they were not chasing the thieves, but going on a spring outing in the mountains...
Zhang Lan was a little unbelievable.
How could the outer mountain of the Great Black Mountain be the same as Mo Hua's own backyard?
This was not the Great Black Mountain in his impression.
Even if it was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, shouldn't he be cautious when entering the Great Black Mountain?
Zhang Lan was shocked, but Situ Fang didn't know so much, she only felt that this journey was much smoother than she thought.
Situ Xiu even showed a mocking expression, and said to Zhang Lan:
"Didn't you say that Dahei Mountain is dangerous? Why is there nothing along the way?"
Zhang Lan looked at him like a fool.
This idiot, he really has no idea at all, he didn't even know someone was leading him. You have grown up so big, is your brain full of water...
After walking for a while, Mo Hua suddenly stopped and said:
"There is a monster ahead, we have to take a long detour.
The road was calm, Situ Xiu was feeling bored, so he said:
"We are in a hurry, it's too troublesome to take a detour, just kill the monster. "
Situ Xiu's voice was a little loud, and he didn't hide his breath. After he finished speaking, he saw a pair of red eyes not far away looking at him.
Discovered!
Zhang Lan frowned and cursed him again.
The monster looked like a sheep, with red eyes, curled horns, white hair and sharp teeth. It was tall enough to stand up. The bloody demon power was wrapped around its body, and there was a faint sense of oppression.
When he saw Zhang Lan and the other two, a bloodthirsty look flashed in his eyes, and he rushed over.
Zhang Lan and the other two could only bite the bullet and fight.
Fortunately, the three of them were in the late stage of Qi Refining, so it was not difficult to deal with a red-eyed sheep monster.
Situ Xiu's strength was average, but he became more and more courageous as the battle went on. He couldn't help but shout: "It's just a monster, nothing more than that! "
Just as the voice fell, another monster came out of the bushes.
It had crimson fur and smelly saliva. It was a split-claw wolf monster.
Zhang Lan felt bitter and wanted to slap Situ Xiu's mouth!
They were still able to handle one monster with ease, but they were exhausted with two monsters.
Situ Xiu was injured and the wound hurt so much that he dared not be arrogant anymore.
The few of them fought hard.
An hour later, the split-claw was killed and the sheep monster ran away.
The three of them had a chance to catch their breath.
Zhang Lan's back was covered in sweat. After a breath, he found that Mo Hua was gone.
He looked around and saw no Mo Hua. Just as he was about to call out, he heard Mo Hua's concerned voice in his ears:
"Uncle Zhang, are you all right?
Mo Hua appeared at some point. Not only that, he was holding a bottle in his hand. He ran excitedly to the side of the demon beast that was out of breath. I don't know what he was doing...
When they were fighting just now, Mo Hua had no breath at all. After the fight, he appeared again without anyone noticing.
Zhang Lan thought that his guess was right. Even if they got lost in the mountains and died, Mo Hua would not be in trouble.
Situ Fang looked at Mo Hua and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"I'm taking some demon blood." Mo Hua said.
"Demon blood? What for?"
"To adjust the spirit ink, to draw the formation."
Situ Fang was surprised and said, "You also know the formation?"
Mo Hua was a little embarrassed and said modestly, "I know a little."
"Oh." Situ Fang nodded.
Zhang Lan looked up at the sky, speechless.
He said he knew a little, and you really believed him...
After Mo Hua released the monster's blood, he said, "We have to hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to make it before dark."
Then he complained, "You wasted a lot of time dealing with the monster."
Situ Fang was a little embarrassed and asked, "Do you know that monsters are difficult to deal with, so you asked us to take a detour?"
Mo Hua nodded.
Situ Xiu was dissatisfied and said, "It's just bad luck this time. We encountered two..."
Mo Hua said, "If there was only one, would I let you take a detour?"
Situ Xiu was speechless.
Situ Fang was also shocked.
Mo Hua knew that there were two monsters a long time ago, and they didn't find out until the second monster appeared...
Mo Hua packed up the monster blood and saw that Zhang Lan and the others had almost finished their repairs, so he said, "We have to hurry up."
The three nodded.
Mo Hua walked a few steps, then turned back and warned:
"You must be obedient, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
Situ Fang felt a little embarrassed, and Situ Xiu, who was covered in wounds, also lowered his stubborn head.
After that, the three of them followed Mo Hua quietly. The journey was relatively smooth, but it was still a little late, and they probably had to spend the night in the mountains.
Mo Hua found a passing demon hunter and said:
"Uncle Zhou, when you go back, tell my mother that I will not go back for dinner, and I will go back tomorrow."
"You are alone, are you okay?" said the demon hunter.
"Yeah, it's okay, I have Uncle Dao Tingsi to accompany me." Mo Hua nodded.
"Okay, then you be careful."
Mo Hua waved goodbye to the demon hunter, then turned around and said:
"Let's find a place to spend the night first, and we can go to Guyun Peak tomorrow."
Zhang Lan frowned: "Can't we go at night?"
"Aren't you going to capture people? It's not easy to capture at night, and there are many demon beasts at night."
Zhang Lan nodded: "It has to be this way."
Mo Hua found a small camp nearby, lit the lamp, and took out some meat from the storage bag and invited Zhang Lan and others to eat.
Situ Fang took a bite and his eyes lit up, "It's delicious. Did you make it yourself?"
Mo Hua proudly said: "My mother made it!"
Situ Fang took a few bites and said: "It's a pity, this meat has no spiritual energy."
"Casual cultivators can't afford to eat spiritual meat." Mo Hua said.
Situ Fang apologized: "I didn't say that this meat is not good."
After saying that, to apologize, he took some cakes from the storage bag and invited Mo Hua to eat.
Situ Xiu didn't say anything, but also invited Mo Hua to drink.
But the wine was too strong. Mo Hua took a sip and choked, so he stopped drinking.
Zhang Lan, on the other hand, was not picky about food. He ate whatever was available and would not refuse any wine.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to bed in their clothes.
Mo Hua could not sleep. He had to enter the sea of consciousness to draw a formation at midnight. Seeing that Zhang Lan was lying down but had his eyes open, he obviously had no sleepiness. So he came to him and asked quietly:
"Uncle Zhang, can you tell me about the flower thief?"
Zhang Lan raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to be a flower thief?"
Mo Hua rolled his eyes at him.
Zhang Lan smiled, "What do you want to ask?"
Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "The Dao Court promulgated the Dao Law, prohibiting indiscriminate killing, looting and collecting. The Dao Law mentions collecting together with indiscriminate killing and looting. So is collecting a serious crime?"
Zhang Lan's expression also became serious, and he asked back:
"Do you know what collecting means?"
Thank you for the reward from Ender of the Sky~
