While treating Mo Qingze's wounds, Mo Yan learned from Han Zhiyun and the others about how her father was bitten.
Originally, Mo Qingze and Mr. Liu had been unable to bag any game, so they teamed up to hunt in a less crowded area of the mountain. They intended to capture a pheasant or a wild rabbit to avoid returning empty-handed. However, before they had managed to shoot any game, more people arrived.
With the increase in people, the game in the mountains scattered once again to escape, inadvertently disturbing the Golden Beast that was recovering from injuries in the area. Indeed, the Golden Beast had already been injured before it launched an attack on the people.
