To be prepared is to be in a position to act; to be unprepared is to invite failure.
Since entering Big Black Mountain was the plan, ample preparation was necessary.
The environment within Big Black Mountain was treacherous, with poison everywhere, miasma spreading, and Monster Beasts lurking.
Monster Beasts did not reason with you; they typically saw humans as food to be eaten, and even those that did not eat people killed them just the same, leaving Cultivators disemboweled before moving on.
Mo Hua grew up in Tongxian City, and his father was a Monster Hunter. From a young age, he was steeped in knowledge of the dangers of Big Black Mountain.
Entering the mountain rashly could mean losing one's life in an instant, likely leaving no trace behind.
Therefore, if one were to enter the mountain, every aspect had to be fully considered in advance. One needed a plan to avoid being caught off guard by danger and teetering on the brink of life and death.
