Chapter 234: Black Tai Sui
Chapter 234 Black Tai Sui
"Woof woof!"
Mantou's bark interrupted Li Huowang's thoughts; he just turned his head to look when he saw Mantou dart into the darkness on one side.
"Taoist, hurry and chase! That dog just smelled what you're looking for!" the monk hallucination reminded him nearby, quite concerned.
"Black Tai Sui?" Li Huowang glanced at him, limping hurriedly to follow. Seeing this, the others followed suit.
Mantou in the darkness became more excited as it chased, and after turning a few circles, Li Huowang also became excited; he could smell the scent of the Black Tai Sui too!
"It can't be wrong, the Black Tai Sui is nearby!" Thinking this, Li Huowang's heart pounded wildly.
Just as he was running faster and faster while limping, suddenly Li Huowang felt his scalp prickled, instinctively lowered his head, and a gust of wind wrapped around something grazed past Li Huowang's scalp.
"Bang!" Gao Zhijian's massive spiked club in hand smashed heavily onto that thing, rescuing Li Huowang from the predicament.
When Li Huowang just straightened his waist, he discovered that the thing which had ambushed him earlier had already burrowed into the darkness.
At this moment, the others hurriedly approached Li Huowang, taking out various weapons and pointing them vigilantly outward.
Li Huowang, body tense gripping the sword hilt, asked Gao Zhijian beside him, "Did you see what that thing was just now?"
"Meat... meat... meat hook!" The honest giant explained to Li Huowang.
"Meat hook? Is there something else coming over? Why can't things be slightly quiet for once?" Li Huowang frowned tightly looking at the surrounding darkness.
"Did you see it?" Li Huowang turned his head to ask the monk beside Peng Longteng.
"No, I just zoned out."
"Tap tap tap~" The sound came from Li Huowang's left side; when everyone's weapons pointed uniformly towards that direction, they found Mantou with earthy yellow fur walking out from inside taking small quick steps.
With ears pressed against its head, it stood in place circling around, then immediately lifted its front paws off the ground, jumping high towards Li Huowang. "Woof!"
"Taoist, this dog is asking you, why don't you follow along."
Li Huowang frowned, saying to the monk beside him, "Shut up for me, do you understand what dogs say?"
This shout startled everyone else, who looked at Li Huowang with unsettled spirits.
"Senior Brother Li, please absolutely don't have a fit right now, if you have a fit now, we really won't know what to do." Gouwa's expression was very timid.
Li Huowang, brows locked tight, glanced at him, then looked at Mantou. "Why did that thing only attack me, and not attack Mantou?"
This question was destined to receive no answer; Mantou wagged its tail shaking its head, constantly shifting steps in place, judging by its impatient appearance, the thing being sought should be nearby.
Glancing back at the direction they came from, Li Huowang decided to continue following Mantou; having come this far, giving up and going back would completely waste his previous arduous efforts.
"Go, all follow! Don't fall behind." To avoid ambush, everyone surrounded each other forming a group, advancing step by step, slowly pushing forward following Mantou.
Of course, because of the prior lesson learned, Li Huowang naturally did not forget to watch out above his head.
Seeing the master move, Mantou jumped a bit, black nose pressed to the ground sniffing all the way along.
For a period of time after this, neither the meat hooks that previously ambushed Li Huowang nor that strange lion dance appeared, it was quiet to an abnormal degree.
Yet such a situation made them feel extra tormented; in this dim oppressive environment, everyone's spirit was very tense. Cold sweat slowly slid down from their faces.
"Shh, stop! We found it!" Li Huowang looked extremely excited at the chaotic twisted tentacles in the distant darkness.
Although still very blurry, Li Huowang was certain, that was a Black Tai Sui!
The Black Tai Sui obviously noticed the light source appearing out of nowhere, tentatively extending a tentacle out, touching the green fluorescence.
"Finally found it." At this moment Li Huowang even breathed much lighter, afraid of scaring the other party away.
"Senior Brother Li, how do we get this thing back?" Sun Baolu leaned over, lowering his voice to ask.
Li Huowang looked thoughtfully at the thing in the darkness; this one looked slightly bigger than the one at Qingfeng Temple before.
"Zhijian, take out the chains that bound me, we need to plan an ambush on it."
"When we act later, be gentle, absolutely do not kill it."
The chains slowly unfolded surrounding this Black Tai Sui, everyone lightened their footsteps.
After seeing Li Huowang nod, Gao Zhijian holding the spiked club charged heavily over, raising the weapon in hand smashing fiercely towards the Black Tai Sui's body.
A dull "Bang" sound rang out, over a dozen twisted semi-transparent tentacles exploded upwards, stabbing towards his body.
At the instant the Black Tai Sui attacked Gao Zhijian, the others holding chains leaped up, wrapping towards its body.
Meanwhile Li Huowang who was long prepared on the side also rushed out, raising the long sword in hand exerting force to chop towards the root of the Black Tai Sui's tentacles.
Speaking of it, for Li Huowang and them now, the Black Tai Sui was not very powerful, at least not more powerful than the previous lion dance.
However facing the lion dance, any means could be used, but the Black Tai Sui could not, it must be captured alive, this point was difficult to handle.
Too heavy wouldn't work, too light wouldn't work either.
Li Huowang and others wanted to wrap the chains, while the Black Tai Sui attempted to break free from the chains, and also used tentacles to attack others.
For a moment, both sides tangled into a ball, the situation was very chaotic.
Li Huowang miscalculated somewhat; the Black Tai Sui's tentacles did not disappear with his chopping, instead more tentacles extended out from within.
Right at this critical moment, new movement suddenly came from their left, something was approaching.
"Bang! Shua!" This sound was very strange, to the extent that Li Huowang couldn't imagine what thing produced it.
"No matter what it is, I cannot dawdle anymore! Must use Renmu Xinzhai!"
Li Huowang took a deep breath, quickly pulled out a dagger, and began peeling the skin around his chest.
Forcefully tearing off the large chunk of flesh in front, Li Huowang's white-bleached ribs were exposed to the air.
Ignoring the pain almost causing fainting, Li Huowang threw it forcefully, under the effect of the Great Thousand Record, that blood skin rapidly expanded, rapidly wrapping the Tai Sui firmly, regardless of how the tentacles drilled and twisted it was useless.
"Go!" Li Huowang ignored the pain, hurriedly calling others to take the Black Tai Sui and leave.
As they moved away from the previous place, that sound slowly disappeared too.
"Senior Brother Li, you are injured again." Bai Lingmiao looked at Li Huowang's clothes gradually dyed red with a heart-wrenching gaze, she took out golden salve from her waist evenly sprinkling it on Li Huowang's chest.
The wound stimulated by the medicine made Li Huowang want to die from pain, but when he turned his head to look at the Black Tai Sui being dragged by Gao Zhijian, he once again gained the motivation to live.
Li Huowang's mouth corners rose slightly, accompanied by that intense pain, gradually laughing out loud.
This trip was not in vain, finally able to completely isolate the hallucinations over there.
"Wang Wei, didn't you say that side was reality? Fine, after I eat the Black Tai Sui, if you have the ability to pull me over there again, then I'll believe you!"
Li Huowang coldly laughed talking to himself towards the distant darkness.
