"Senior Brother Li? What's wrong with you?" Gouwa asked cautiously when he saw Li Huowang put that thing in his mouth and started chewing, feeling a sudden jolt in his heart.
"Oh no, Senior Brother Li is having an episode again."
However, Li Huowang completely ignored what he was thinking and savored the taste of the thin layer. The more he chewed, the more excited he became. "This taste is unmistakable, this is the skin of Black Taishuai! My hysteria can be cured!"
Although the skin was completely dried up, Li Huowang, who had seen it once before, knew that Black Taishuai would turn into a puddle of water after death, leaving only this layer of skin.
The reason why this thing became like this was entirely because Black Taishuai dehydrated after death.
There was no clue now, and finding a way to solve the heart element was completely like a pipe dream, with very little hope.
Black Taishuai could help him isolate his illusions, even if only temporarily, which would be extremely useful!
"Mantou! Where did you find this thing?" Li Huowang turned to Mantou and asked.
"Woo..." The droopy-eared dog tilted its head left and right at its master, clearly not understanding.
Li Huowang directly put the skin of Black Taishuai in front of its nose. "Smell it! Go find where this thing came from!"
"Woof woof!" This time, Mantou seemed to understand Li Huowang's intention and sniffed at the black skin before running towards the nearby grassland.
"Put the cow cart at Sun Baolu's place! We're not leaving! We'll wait until we find Black Taishuai before we leave!" Li Huowang said, leaning on his crutch and quickly following.
Although they didn't know what Li Huowang was up to, the others still followed. With his current condition, they were afraid he might have another episode.
Mantou ran far away, so far that Li Huowang's armpit began to bleed from the friction with the crutch.
"Da da da" The sound of horse hooves rang out, and Li Huowang turned his head to see Sun Baolu, who was riding a horse and leading some Qingqiu people, catching up.
"Senior Brother Li! What are you looking for? Get on the horse! I'll take you there!"
Li Huowang stepped on the saddle with his foot and jumped onto the horse, pointing to Mantou, who was still running wildly in the distance. "Follow it!"
The horse was obviously much faster than Li Huowang, and they finally managed to keep up with Mantou.
As the sun gradually hung in the sky, the air became scorching hot.
"How far did Mantou find Black Taishuai from?" Li Huowang thought to himself as he touched the long sword behind him. Black Taishuai might have been dangerous to his past self, but it was completely useless to him now.Right now, Li Huowang shouldn't be thinking about whether or not Black Tai Sui poses a threat to him. Instead, he should be thinking about how to capture Black Tai Sui, how to imprison it, and slowly stabilize himself by eating its flesh.
As Li Huowang was pondering these questions, the running mantou suddenly disappeared in the distance.
When he caught up with it, Li Huowang realized that the mantou hadn't disappeared, but had run to a low-lying area of grass.
On the left side of the depression was an irregular circular hole, resembling a rabbit hole commonly found on the grasslands.
However, no matter how one looked at it, this hole did not look like it was dug by a rabbit, because it was too big, at least ten feet wide.
Li Huowang dismounted and came to the side of the spinning mantou. Seeing the traces on the ground, he recognized them as the marks of Black Tai Sui.
The scattered black skin had already been blown away by the wind, leaving only a few crumbs, but the black water marks on the ground had not disappeared.
Li Huowang recognized this black water, which was the black water that Black Tai Sui had sprayed out of its body before it died. At this point, any grass that had been attached to the black water had already withered and died.
The trace of the black water extended from inside the circular hole, and Li Huowang could deduce the situation of Black Tai Sui from the scene.

It should have lived in the hole before, and seemed to have suffered some fatal injury. It crawled out with its last bit of strength and finally died outside.
Immediately after its death, the skin it left behind was picked up by the mantou.
"Well...I hope there's not just one Black Tai Sui in this hole." Li Huowang said to himself, cautiously walking towards the dim circular hole.
"Wait!!" Sun Baolu, riding on his horse, rushed up and stopped Li Huowang in front of the hole, blocking his way.
Terrified, he jumped off his horse and pulled Li Huowang towards the outside. "Senior Li! You can't go! You really can't go!"
Sun Baolu's face was covered in cold sweat, and he looked very afraid of the circular hole, not even wanting to look at it.
"You...have been here?" Li Huowang could tell from his fear of the hole that he had been there before.
"Senior Li! I beg you! Please, just go away! It's really dangerous here!!"
Sun Baolu was almost kneeling on the ground begging Li Huowang, but he still remained unmoved.
"What a joke. We finally found a clue to Black Tai Sui. How could we let it get away again?"
"Baolu, calm down. It's safe here now. No one can hurt you." Calmed by Li Huowang, Sun Baolu gradually calmed down.Li Huowang handed a water gourd to Gao Zhijian beside him and passed it to Sun Baolu. "Take a sip, your lips are so dry they're peeling."
When Sun Baolu gulped down all the water in the gourd, Li Huowang spoke to him again, "Do you know about this place? What's inside? I need to find something in there, maybe your information can help me a lot."
"Senior Li, you really can't go in there! There are no evil spirits in Qingqiu, not because they disappeared for no reason, but because they all hid, they all hid under the grass! That's their nest!!"
Looking at Sun Baolu's trembling fingers pointing straight at the entrance, Li Huowang looked down at the green grassy ground.
So, are all the evil spirits under the thriving Qingqiu? Li Huowang's body suddenly felt cold.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was reasonable in this crazy world, otherwise the Black Tai Sui would not have appeared here for no reason.
"Is that it? Is that all? Do your people know anything else?"
"Senior Li, please don't go! No one knows what's inside! The chief of Qingqiu even ordered that no one is allowed to talk about the things inside the cave. Just mentioning its name and thinking about its appearance in your mind will bring bad luck!"
After hearing Sun Baolu's words, Li Huowang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I got it."
After speaking, he leaned on his crutch and walked towards the cave behind the horse.
"Senior Li! We've made it clear to you! Why are you still going in?! You'll really die! " Sun Baolu was jumping up and down in a hurry.
Li Huowang looked at him and recalled the hallucinations he had experienced this morning. He was so thirsty now, he really wanted to isolate the Black Tai Sui that caused the hallucinations.
"I've dealt with many evil spirits myself, and I'm not a novice anymore. I may not be helpless when I encounter an evil spirit."
Even the Black Tai Sui was killed, Li Huowang knew the danger inside, but when he thought of the Black Tai Sui, he felt that the risk was worth taking.
He really didn't want to have that kind of conflict again. Li Huowang actually lacked confidence in himself and was afraid that he would fall into it again after experiencing a few more hallucinations.
