Chapter 730: The sudden advance of the pig
At the gate of Demon Refining Mountain.
Xun Ziyou and another elder wearing maple robes were drinking tea.
The elder took a sip of tea, suddenly frowned, and said strangely: "Recently, there seem to be a lot fewer wood wolves in the mountains than when I was on duty..."
Xun Ziyou choked on her tea and coughed.
The elder in maple-colored robes glanced at Xun Ziyou suspiciously, "Elder Xun, do you know something?"
Xun Ziyou looked complicated, how could I not know what he was thinking...
One of my "junior brothers" from the Taixu Sect, together with his group of junior fellow apprentices from the Taixu Sect, specifically hunted down the Cangmu Lang in the Demon Refining Mountain.
Customized formations, special spiritual weapons, standardized procedures, and unified tactics, making it look like a Taoist soldier...
How can a monster survive?
Cang Mulang in Demon Refining Mountain has been suffering from bad luck for eight lifetimes.
Xun Ziyou coughed and said vaguely: "I don't know... the disciples of the sect hunt monsters. What they hunt is not hunting. More or less, it doesn't matter."
"That's right..." the elder muttered.
Xun Ziyou glanced at him, silently poured him a cup of tea, and whispered:
"We elders just need to maintain order. There are so many disciples from each sect. Where can we control them? Just let them have their way and don't cause big trouble..."
"What's more, the war in the Southern Wilderness is tense. Maybe at some point, we will be tired from traveling through mountains and rivers. Where can we have such a leisurely day to see the mountains and taste tea..."
The elder in maple-colored robes was startled, then nodded in agreement:
"What Elder Xun said makes sense."
Then they both picked up their teacups and sipped the tea leisurely.
It's just that Xun Ziyou felt a little restless in his heart.
Mo Hua, this careless child, must not kill the Cang Timber Wolf in the Demon Refining Mountain to extinction...
Fortunately, Mo Hua seemed to have heard Elder Xun's request and did not capture and kill another monster like the Cang Wood Wolf.
He was ready to attack other monsters.
There are also countless wood wolves in the mountains.
They are a team of five, and they are good at killing the Cang Timber Wolf.
Now he has more junior brothers and sisters "under his command". Teams of them are wearing Yimu armor and holding sharp gold spiritual weapons, all going to kill Cang Mu Lang.
The number of blue wood wolves began to decrease significantly.
There are more monks killing wolves, but there are fewer wolves.
Some disciples spent a whole day at Demon Refining Mountain, only to return empty-handed, wasting the merit of buying tickets.
In order to maintain the balance of the monsters and prevent his disciples from returning empty-handed, Mo Hua found time to hunt and kill them himself. After summing up his experience, he formulated another "strategy" for the monsters.
This time the strategy is to kill a monster called Azure Snake.
Azure Snake, a wood-type snake demon, is similar to the Cangmu Wolf Demon. They are both wood-type monsters and are naturally poisonous.
The armored weapon used to hunt the Cang Timber Wolf is also suitable for the Azure Snake.
However, the Azure Snake is more sinister and venomous, and is hidden in shrubs. It has the same color as the vegetation, and its demonic power is also mixed with the scent of the vegetation, making it difficult to distinguish.
For this reason, Mo Hua specially made a wood spirit formation disk.
This formation disk can identify the approximate composition of wood spiritual power within ten feet of the body.
Is it the breath of natural vegetation, the spiritual power of monks, or the demonic power of wood poison.
Although it is not very accurate, it is enough to search for monsters.
In addition to being inherently vicious, difficult to sense, and difficult to hunt, the Azure Snake is not too powerful.
The Azure Snake has snake gallbladder, so it sells for a higher price and earns more merit.
Soon, Azure Snake shared the pressure for Cang Timber Wolf.
The Cang Wood Wolf is no longer the only monster that has been "mutilated" by Taixu Sect's "junior brother" Mo Hua, who led a group of junior fellow apprentices.
After the Azure Snake, Mo Hua made hunting "strategies" for several other types of monsters.
These strategies cover a wider range.
In addition to the wood-type monsters, there are also gold-type leopards, earth-type gray-spotted pythons, fire-type red-flame hyenas, and so on.
These monsters have all been added to Mo Hua's "Monster Hunting Strategy List".
As for the matching customized spiritual weapon, Mo Hua also designed the weapon refining array and handed it over to Master Gu for refining and sold it in the Gu family business pavilion.
The number of these spiritual weapons is extremely large.
There are more spiritual weapons used to hunt monsters than to put a reward on someone's head and capture criminal cultivators.
The efficiency of hunting monsters is also much higher than making bounties.
After all, sin cultivators are running around, and hunting them down is very time-consuming, and most of the monsters are in the Demon Refining Mountain, and you can find them just by entering the mountain.
Master Gu's Gushan weapon refining shop, so the fire is constantly burning and the work is in full swing.
The formation diagram for customizing the spiritual weapon has been standardized by Master Gu and passed on to his many disciples.
If you only order one or two pieces, there is no way to refine them in batches.
But now that Taixu Sect disciples hunt monsters, they have Mo Hua's "strategy", and the matching of various spiritual weapons has become standardized, and they have reached a certain scale of weapon refining.
These customized spiritual weapons can then be mass-produced appropriately.
At the same time, Shangge's business is getting better and better...
But Mo Hua doesn't worry about these.
During his break, he would still spend time in the Demon Refining Mountain, but now, he no longer had to do it himself.
He prepared a strategy for hunting monsters and promoted it.
After a period of time, more and more Taixu disciples came to visit the hall, recognized their junior brothers, received strategies, and went to Demon Refining Mountain.
There are more than a thousand disciples in the same sect, although most of them call him "little senior brother".
But in the heart, there are still only a small number of people who really regard him as their little senior brother.
They are all the proud sons of heaven, and no one will surrender to the other easily.
And some people are talented and high-spirited. When they meet Mo Hua on the walk, they are mostly acquaintances and will not say the words "little senior brother".
This is normal, Mo Hua doesn't care about it.
But it's different now.
These monster hunting strategies cannot be shared without the permission of Mo Hua.
If you want a guide, you need to go to Mo Hua.
Going into the mountains to hunt monsters is difficult for newcomers.
Originally, everyone was stumbling and struggling.
But now there are disciples, armed with a complete "strategy" drawn in ink, wearing armor, going into the mountains and killing monsters one after another smoothly, and their merits are earned.
The other disciples, no matter how arrogant they were, couldn't sit still.
There is also competition between the same sects.
Everyone is a spiritual genius, and their talents are not bad.
You have to hone your combat experience by yourself, and you have to earn your own spiritual resources. If you are slow, you will be slow every step of the way.
Now, with the help of Mo Hua, some disciples are making rapid progress.
It is impossible for other disciples not to want to make progress.
What's more, he also has a lot of achievements in hunting monsters.
Merit is more important than face.
So some of the Taixu sect's geniuses who were arrogant and swore not to associate with Mo Hua also had slightly red cheeks. They ran to Mo Hua and shyly shouted:
"Little senior brother..."
The ink painting looks like spring breeze.
Anyway, no matter who comes, he treats them equally and doesn't hide anything.
The guide was given and some precautions were given by him thoughtfully.
These geniuses followed the method of ink painting and entered the Demon Refining Mountain. As expected, they successfully hunted the monsters. They couldn't believe it for a while.
Hunting monsters...is that easy?
And when the meritorious service was obtained, some small grudges in their hearts disappeared completely.
The three words "little senior brother" became more and more fluent.
In their hearts, they gradually "strategize themselves"...
If you are such a good painter, what's wrong with calling him "Senior Brother"?
This was ordered by Mr. Xun.
Not only for the sake of Mo Hua, but also for the sake of Mr. Xun.
Besides, others can call this little senior brother, why can’t I call him?
So when Mo Hua walked in the door, he would often be greeted by disciples he met and would call him "little senior brother".
Especially in Demon Refining Mountain, there are more people calling "little senior brother".
With their current level of cultivation, most of those who can survive in Demon Refining Mountain have learned Mo Hua's strategies and received guidance from Mo Hua.
On this day, Mo Hua entered the Demon Refining Mountain. A fellow disciple saw Mo Hua and said enthusiastically: "Senior Brother, we killed a Cang Wood Wolf and got a Demon Pill. You can accept it."
This disciple has a kind face, quick eyes, and looks very smart.
I have the impression from the ink painting that his surname seems to be Dong, and his given name is the same as Shi. But he couldn't remember which state he was from.
Mo Hua shook his head and refused: "The demon pill is valuable, you can keep it in exchange for merit."
The disciple named Dong Shi said gratefully: "Without the guidance of my younger brother, we wouldn't have been able to obtain this demon pill."
Other disciples also echoed: "That's right."
"Senior Brother, just accept it, otherwise we will feel bad."
Although he had given them some advice, Mo Hua felt a little embarrassed about taking the demon elixir that others had worked so hard for as his own.
He looked at the Cang Wood Wolf who had just died tragically on the ground, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said: "I don't want the demon pill anymore, give me the demon blood."
Several Taixu disciples were startled, "Demon blood?"
"Well," Mo Hua nodded, "I'm of great use."
After thinking for a moment, they understood.
The younger brother wants to hoard demon blood, prepare spiritual ink, and learn formations.
As expected of my little senior brother!
High-spirited and bright!
He is not greedy for demon pills, but he is afraid that his fellow disciples will feel sorry for him, so he only takes the demon blood and mixes it with spiritual ink to use it to draw formations wholeheartedly.
Be kind to your colleagues and be sincere in learning the Dharma.
Several Taixu disciples said quickly: "Senior Brother, please let me bleed as you like."
Mo Hua smiled and said, "Thank you."
After draining Cang Mulang's blood, Mo Hua said goodbye to several people.
Dong Shi said goodbye to Mo Hua, turned around and said to the other Taixu disciples: "Pass this on, my junior brother wants demon blood."
"good!"
So one spreads it to ten, and ten spreads it to a hundred.
Soon, all Taixu disciples in Demon Refining Mountain knew about the matter of "little senior brother wants demon blood".
They were worried that they would not have a chance to thank Mo Hua.
Mere demon blood is a no-brainer.
After that, Mo Hua entered the Demon Refining Mountain, and disciples came to him every now and then, "Senior Brother, we just killed a demon beast and haven't bled it yet. Are you okay?"
Some disciples even wait for Mo Hua to come over and drain the blood first after killing the monster.
This is exactly what Mo Hua wants.
It is difficult to obtain demon blood, and it cannot be exchanged for much merit, so ordinary disciples cannot use it.
I feel at ease holding the ink painting.
In this way, Mo Hua continued to create strategies for hunting monsters.
The disciples who entered the Demon Refining Mountain followed Mo Hua's strategies and instructions, and the monsters they hunted would also follow the rules and let Mo Hua bleed them first.
This gradually formed a conventional "rule".
All this was seen by Elder Xunzi Youxun.
Elder Xun was a little unbelievable. He suddenly realized that Mo Hua, a child with little cultivation experience and poor spiritual aptitude, was born in a noble family and had a lot of geniuses. Everyone in the Taixu sect had high-grade spiritual roots. There was already a vague connection between them. A kind of "prestige"...
And this kind of prestige is not prestige over fellow sects.
It is more like the prestige of being in the same sect, living in harmony, equal and reciprocal.
He had almost never seen this situation before.
Elder Xun even felt that it was a bit strange...
…
As Mo Hua formulated more and more monster hunting strategies, Taixu Sect disciples occupied a large part of the low-grade monster area outside the Demon Refining Mountain.
Some other sect disciples were dissatisfied and would occasionally cause trouble.
But it was just a small fuss, and there was no disturbance.
The mountains and plains are full of his little junior brothers. Mo Hua occasionally hunts monsters, lets blood, and walks around the mountains, but he lives a very comfortable life.
As long as he has time, he will still discuss custom-made spiritual weapons with Master Gu.
During this break, Master Gu made a special trip to Taixu City to see Mo Hua.
"Young Master, the armor you mentioned has been refined..."
Master Gu handed a storage bag to Mo Hua.
"There are two pairs of armors here, which have been improved more than ten times. Now they can not only embed formations to realize the functions of spiritual weapons, but also can be open source and controlled by divine thoughts. They can be regarded as something between 'array medium' and 'spiritual weapon'." A special type of array device among the devices..."
Mo Hua looked overjoyed.
He took out two pieces of armor from his storage bag and looked at them carefully.
From the outside, these are just two ordinary pieces of armor.
But the internal structure has its own mystery. As Master Gu said, a lot of thought went into it.
"Thank you, Master Gu!" Mo Hua smiled.
"Young Master is so polite," Master Gu said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I should be the one thanking Young Master."
"If it weren't for the young master's clever mind and excellent formation skills, which helped us a lot, Gushan's weapon refining business would still be living in poverty..."
Master Gu was quite emotional, and then said sincerely: "I wonder when, young master, I will go to Gushan City again when I have time, so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord and entertain you well."
Master Gu smiled and said: "Although Gushan City is poor, there are some local game dishes that are delicious and cannot be eaten elsewhere."
Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
Then he felt a little regretful, "However, Mr. Xun won't let me run around now. I will definitely go when I have time in the future."
Master Gu looked overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "Then it's settled."
"It's a deal!"
After bidding farewell to Master Gu and returning to the sect, the ink painting began to draw the First Grade and Thirteen Patterns of the Five Elements Jue Formation on the Five Elements Source Armor.
After finishing the painting, Mo Hua went to the Taoist room to try it out by himself.
The power of his fireball technique has indeed increased a lot.
But how much stronger it is is hard to estimate.
Moreover, the fireball technique is considered a low-end spell after all, and it does not condense much spiritual power. Even if it is enhanced, the effect is not that obvious.
Mo Hua wanted to try his forbidden technique, the small meteorite technique.
But I think some of them are too dangerous.
This is a forbidden technique.
With the increase of the five elements, if the spiritual power gets out of control again and hurts oneself, then the trouble will be big.
Even if you can't hurt yourself, it's not good to damage the puppets and formations in the Taoist room.
Before he entered, he promised to Elder Yi that he would not mess around, use spells randomly, or damage the puppets.
"Then let's try it with Cheng Mo and the others..."
Anyway, this pair of Five Elements Source Armor was originally intended for them to use.
Moreover, Cheng Mo is a physical practitioner and has strong blood. Even if his spiritual power goes out of control and Taoism backfires and hurts him, he will probably be alive and kicking after ten days and a half of rest.
Whether it is the Five Elements Source Formation or the Five Elements Source Armor, the structure is relatively stable.
Even if he loses control, his life is not likely to be in danger.
Especially Cheng Mo, who is rough-skinned and thick-bodied and can't be hurt anywhere. He is a perfect "guinea pig".
Mo Hua called Cheng Mo and Situ Jian and said expectantly: "Go to Demon Refining Mountain, I will take you to try something..."
Cheng Mo was a little confused, "What?"
"You'll know then."
Mo Hua smiled and gave up.
Cheng Mo looked confused, but he always felt that his little senior brother seemed to have bad intentions.
Several people arrived at Demon Refining Mountain.
Mo Hua took out two pairs of Five Elements Source Armor, thought for a while, gave one to Cheng Mo and another to Yang Qianjun.
This is armor, best worn by physical practitioners.
Cheng Mo took the armor in his hand, looked through it, and found that it was a style he had never seen before, so he asked, "Do you want to hunt new monsters?"
Mo Hua shook his head, "It's better to kill Cang Wood Wolf."
"Cang Mu Lang?" Yang Qianjun also didn't understand: "But this isn't Yimu armor..."
And he had never seen such armor before.
He was a Taoist soldier and had some knowledge of armor.
Although this armor looked ordinary, its internal structure was very special, and was quite different from all the armor he had seen before.
"Yimu armor is for defense, this armor is not..."
Mo Hua didn't say it clearly, he just said, "If this armor is really useful, there is no need to defend against a Cang Timber Wolf. The battle will be over in one round."
Several people were stunned by what Mo Hua said.
One round and the battle is over?
What is this armor used for...
On the other side, Xun Ziyou saw Mo Hua and others, just like before, gathering together and muttering something, thinking that they were discussing about hunting monster beasts again, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
After that, Mo Hua and his party entered the Demon Refining Mountain.
It took Mo Hua a stick of incense to find a Cang Timber Wolf, and then he followed the old rules, followed, laid traps, and set up formations.
Cang Wood Wolf was hit by the formation and seriously injured.
Cheng Mo and others rushed forward to kill him as usual.
But what is different from the past is that what they wear is no longer the Yimu armor used for defense, but the "Five Elements Source Armor" painted with ink paintings on the Five Elements Sect's ultimate battle.
As Cheng Mo and the others rushed forward, Mo Hua's consciousness moved and he instantly communicated with the Five Elements Source Armor and activated the Five Elements Source Formation within it.
His spiritual thoughts merged into the Five Elements Absolute Formation and merged with the spiritual power of the formation pattern.
On the Five Elements Source Armor, complex and unusual formation patterns light up.
Cheng Mo and Yang Qianjun also vaguely felt that the aura around them had also changed.
The spiritual power seems to be ready to move...
But suddenly, everything stopped.
The light on the armor dissipated, and the strange movements of spiritual power disappeared.
Mo Hua shouted crisply: "Stop!"
Cheng Mo, Yang Qianjun and others who were halfway through the charge were a little stunned and looked back at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua frowned and immediately said: "Retreat first."
A few people don't understand.
Mo Hua then said: "A big guy is coming."
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and they immediately let go of their consciousness, but they didn't detect anything.
But what Mo Hua said is definitely right.
So a few people left the seriously injured Cang Timber Wolf behind, climbed to a nearby big tree, and looked around.
Sure enough, after a moment, the demonic aura suddenly became stronger.
A huge pig-headed demon rushed out of the grass, with dark red eyes, ferocious fangs, and fishy saliva, staring intently at the wooden wolf in front of it.
The expressions of Cheng Mo and others changed.
Mo Hua also frowned slightly.
"Second-grade mid-level monster..."
The strength of the monsters is much stronger than that of monks in the same realm.
The blood energy is also several times thicker.
As for the demonic beasts in the Demonic Refining Mountain, most of them have special bloodlines and scarce categories, so they are generally stronger than the demonic beasts in the Dahei Mountain.
The disciples of the sect are not good at hunting monsters.
Therefore, most of them are in groups of five, hunting monsters at a lower level.
For example, the Cangmulang killed by the five monks in the middle stage of foundation building in Mo Hua was a second-grade elementary monster.
This is both stable and safe.
And if Mo Hua had not made a detailed "strategy", it would be difficult for the five sect disciples in the middle stage of foundation building to successfully hunt down a second-grade elementary monster without experience.
Not to mention a second-grade mid-level monster.
They are no match for second-grade mid-level monsters, and the risks are also higher.
Even if the Five Elements Source Armor can be used to increase spiritual power, the outcome is hard to say.
So at the beginning, Mo Hua only planned to use the second-grade Cangmulang, which was the first level, to try his hand, so that even if the Five Elements Source Armor failed, there would be no risk to his life.
But the second-grade mid-level monsters are completely different.
Even though it's only one level higher, its strength is on another level entirely.
The ink painting looked solemn.
Situ Jian asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, what should I do?"
Mo Hua took a look at the ugly pig-headed demon with surging aura, shook his head and whispered: "Let's retreat first."
It is too risky to attack this second-grade mid-level pig-headed demon.
This pig-headed demon seemed to be attracted by the demon blood of the Cang Timber Wolf. It wanted to eat the Cang Timber Wolf, so it didn't notice Mo Hua and the others.
At this time, it was fighting with the Cang Timber Wolf.
Cang Wood Wolf was no match for the pig-headed demon, not to mention that it was seriously injured by Mo Hua's formation.
The pig-headed demon bit into the Cang Wood Wolf one bite after another, sucking its blood and gnawing its flesh.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Hua made a decisive decision:
"Walk!"
Cheng Mo and others nodded, followed Mo Hua, and quietly evacuated from the tree.
Seeing Mo Hua and others planning to leave, Elder Xun, who was secretly watching from a distance, nodded slightly and said to himself:
"Know how to advance and retreat, don't take risks, that's good..."
Mo Hua made a decisive decision and quickly evacuated the area.
The huge pig-headed demon was left to feast on the place, eating up the dead wood wolf, including the flesh and bones.
The pig-headed demon is greedy by nature and eats very quickly.
After eating, it was still a bit unfinished.
The ugly pig nose sniffed the air, and suddenly the crimson pupils shrank.
It smelled of fresh human flesh.
The pig-headed demon's eyes were cold and cruel. He licked his pig lips and stood up slowly. Then he roared miserably. The demonic aura suddenly burst out, entangled with black and red foul smell, and followed the delicious human scent towards the direction where Mo Hua and the others were evacuating. The pig advances suddenly...
Thank you for your reward since the last issue~
I wrote a little more, so it’s a little late~
