Everything was ready, and Mo Hua began to hunt monsters.

Of course, he didn’t need to take action himself.

Although he had reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement, and his Fireball Technique had also become much more powerful, it still wasn’t enough to deal with First-grade late-phase Monster Beasts.

At most, he could deal finishing blows or capitalize on opportunities.

The Monster Hunters did not lack his spell’s power when hunting Monster Beasts.

Yu Chengyi, Mo Shan, and six other late-phase Qi Refinement Monster Hunters formed a team, taking Mo Hua with them, a nine-person party, to begin hunting a First-grade late-phase Red-eyed Demon Sheep.

Yu Chengyi and Mo Shan had been hunting monsters in the Inner Mountain for many years, and their experience was much richer than Mo Hua’s; the planning before hunting was also more meticulous, basically considering everything.

Mo Hua only had to listen on the side and learn earnestly.

To learn the habits of Monster Beasts, the methods of monster hunting, and the matters to pay attention to.

This monster hunt was like usual, yet it was also different because they would use the Formation that Mo Hua had drawn.

Previously, mid-phase Qi Refinement Monster Hunters used an Earth Fire Formation with seven Formation Patterns to hunt First-grade mid-phase Monster Beasts.

Now that Mo Hua could draw a First-grade Formation, which was very powerful and sufficient to wound First-grade late-phase Monster Beasts, late-phase Qi Refinement Monster Hunters could also attempt to use the First-grade Earth Fire Formation to hunt late-phase First-grade Monster Beasts.

Hunting monsters with the aid of a Formation was safe and efficient.

After the discussion, Yu Chengyi asked Mo Hua, “Is there anything else we need to pay attention to?”

Since the Formation was drawn by Mo Hua, he needed to ask for his opinion.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and felt that everyone had considered everything thoroughly, and he couldn’t think of any additional points, so he said,

“No problem.”

“Good,” Yu Chengyi nodded, “Then we’ll set off tomorrow and act according to the plan.”

The Monster Hunters spent the night at the camp in the Inner Mountain, and the next day at dawn, when the mountains were faint and plants were covered with dew, the group set out.

Yu Chengyi and a few other experienced Monster Hunters went ahead to scout for clues of the Red-eyed Sheep demon.

Mo Shan was also experienced, but Mo Hua’s safety was more important, so he could only follow him closely.

Soon after, one of the Monster Hunters found the hoof prints of the Sheep demon, leftover meat from its meal, and white wool stained with blood.

Everyone became alert and went on full guard.

Yu Chengyi and several Monster Hunters released their Divine Sense, beginning to search for the Sheep demon’s figure.

Before they could find it, Mo Hua had already taken out a Map and marked the location for them:

“Behind the mountain path, there is a small stream, it’s drinking there.”

Yu Chengyi and the others exchanged glances, feeling inwardly astonished.

This distance was quite a bit further than the limit of their Divine Sense reach.

Was Mo Hua’s Divine Sense so much stronger than theirs?

Yu Chengyi leaped to the mountaintop, using the rocks for cover to look down, and indeed saw the Red-eyed Demon Sheep drinking by the stream after eating.

Yu Chengyi leaped down from the mountaintop without making a sound and said to everyone, “It’s drinking water, and it will probably return to the forest after. Let’s take a detour and set up an ambush ahead of it.”

The Monster Hunters nodded and then took a side path around to the spot where the Sheep demon would have to pass through to enter the forest, stopping to set up traps.

Mo Hua took out an iron Compass, with complicated Formation patterns drawn on it.

Seeing this, Yu Chengyi couldn’t help but ask, “What is this Compass for?”

“I’ve drawn the Earth Fire Formation on it,” Mo Hua replied.

“Is there any difference between this and drawing on Paper?” Yu Chengyi asked.

“Using paper as the formation media, the Earth Fire Formation can only be used once. After it explodes, the Formation Paper is destroyed, and the formation is gone.”

Mo Hua continued to explain, “This compass was specially refined by Master Chen for me. It contains some fine iron, making it much more durable as a formation media. If we draw the Earth Fire Formation on it, it can be used many times.”

Yu Chengyi’s eyes lit up as he listened, “Are there any particularities in its usage?”

“Just use it the same way as before.”

Yu Chengyi nodded, “Okay!”

The group set up the trap, placed the formation compass, added several Spirit Stones to the formation, then erased their traces and sprinkled fresh blood and juice of Demon Smelly Grass before retreating to hide behind the rocks.

Soon, a Red-eyed Demon Sheep appeared at the crossroad.

This Sheep demon was bursting with Blood Qi, its mouth still bloody from whatever meat it had feasted on, and it was extremely cautious.

It eyed the trap for a long time, clearly enticed by the smell of the Demon Smelly Grass but tried its best to resist, pacing back and forth on the spot without moving forward.

After a while, the Sheep demon began to back away, gradually walking off into the distance.

Mo Hua was surprised and quietly asked Mo Shan, “Dad, is this Monster Beast so vigilant?”

“A later phase First-grade Monster Beast has a long life, rich experience, and is even more cunning.”

“So it’s running away, do we chase it?”

Mo Shan shook his head, “No need to chase, we’ll wait here.”

Mo Hua was momentarily puzzled, then his eyes brightened, “It’s going to come back?”

“Correct.” Mo Shan also lowered his voice, his gaze fixed on the crossroad, “It’s also probing. It will come back in a bit.”

As expected, after a while, the Red-eyed Demon Sheep returned.

If they had pursued it just now, they would have alerted the demon, and the trap would have been wasted.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Mo Hua inwardly marveled that even a Monster Beast within this Inner Mountain was so sly; evidently, he still had much to learn.

The Red-eyed Demon Sheep finally couldn’t resist the lure of the Demon Smelly Grass and, while watching its surroundings, moved toward the trap.

Monster Beasts have Monster Sensing, similar to a Cultivator’s Divine Sense, but generally, a Monster Beast’s sense isn’t strong and cannot project outward to sense things as Cultivators do.

To perceive their surroundings, Monster Beasts generally rely on special vision, keen olfactory and auditory senses, as well as a sensitivity to vital energy and thirst for blood.

The team consisted of veteran Monster Hunters with ample experience, naturally knowing how to conceal their presence from Monster Beasts.

Thus, as the Red-eyed Demon Sheep surveyed its surroundings, it detected nothing. At the same time, it finally stepped into the trap, lowering its head to lick the blood on the ground, savoring the strong scent of the Demon Smelly Grass.

Yu Chengyi stood up, drew his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow flew swiftly, imbued with Spiritual Power, and struck the Spirit Stones on the formation.

The Spirit Stones turned to dust, and the contained Spiritual Energy overflowed, seeping into the Earth Fire Formation compass below.

The Sheep demon sensed something amiss upon hearing the sound of the arrow slicing through the air and attempted to flee, but it was already too late.

Stumbling momentarily from the trap, the Sheep demon watched as the fiery red patterns on the compass flashed. The First-grade Earth Fire Formation activated and with an explosion of fiery Spiritual Power, a deafening noise erupted.

As the shockwave from the explosion dissipated, it was evident that the Red-eyed Demon Sheep had suffered severe damage.

To be certain, Mo Hua had set up three First-grade Earth Fire Formations to detonate simultaneously; natural, the power was extraordinary.

The Monster Hunters, without needing to say a word, charged forward, scattering and surrounding the Red-eyed Demon Sheep.

Eight of them divided into two rings, with four killing the demon on the inside and four others on the outside providing mutual support to prevent its escape.

After some time, the inner and outer rings swapped places, taking turns in a war of attrition to wear down the seriously injured beast.

With clear objectives, decisive actions, efficient killing, and thorough support,

in less than an hour, the gravely injured Red-eyed Demon Sheep finally fell.
