CH 386

Li Huowang, full of guilt, said these words to Yang Na, and in that moment, his tense mind finally couldn't hold on any longer and he completely passed out.

Whether it was the sound of footsteps, shouts, or Yang Na's crying, they gradually faded away, and everything around him fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Huowang woke up faintly. He was awakened by the smell of incense.

The only color he saw was the blue sky. After a while, Li Huowang regained his senses and realized that he was looking up at the sky.

The sight of the waves crashing against the hull and the feeling of the wooden deck beneath him made him realize that he was back on the ship.

When Li Huowang lowered his head, he was shocked by what he saw. There were offerings and incense burners in front of him, and behind the incense burners were rows of people kowtowing. What made him even more horrified was that there was a pair of children sitting in the offerings. It was as if they were worshiping him like a deity.

Seeing this scene, Li Huowang became furious and couldn't contain his anger. He stood up and kicked over the incense burner.

"Are you all idiots? Why do you always place your hopes on others? And you dare to offer me children!" Li Huowang exclaimed, forcefully pulling the two children with red dots on their foreheads out of the plate.

Li Huowang's sudden outburst frightened everyone, causing them to step back. The captain of the ship kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. "Dragon Lord, please calm down! Please calm down!"

"Dragon Lord?" Li Huowang lowered his head and saw black tentacles protruding from various parts of his body, especially his severed arm, which was completely entwined by five tentacles.

It seemed that the people on the ship mistook him, a person covered in black tentacles without any skin, as being possessed by an evil spirit.

"Li Sui, retract yourself, don't scare them." Upon hearing Li Huowang's command, all the tentacles on his body instantly disappeared.

After looking at the wet deck and the cloudless sky, Li Huowang didn't have the mood to explain to them. He directly ordered the captain, "Get up and sail to Apricot Island!"

"Yes, yes! I'll sail! I'll sail!" The captain didn't dare to disobey. Even if the person in front of him wasn't the Dragon Lord, he couldn't afford to provoke him.

Passing through the crowd, Li Huowang arrived at a quiet corner of the cabin. After taking a deep breath, he looked up and asked the monk, "How did I get back on the ship?"

"Taoist, you crawled out of that thing's belly. It was too dark underwater, so I couldn't see what it looked like. Oh, I seem to remember that there was another person inside its belly. I don't know if he came out or not. And, its back was full of eyes..."

Listening to the monk's account, Li Huowang replayed everything he had experienced over there.

As he had expected, he had jumped out of the window and crawled out of the monster's belly. When he climbed over the rolling cage with high-voltage electricity, it meant that he had escaped from the entanglement outside the water. And when he climbed up the watchtower, it was when he flipped onto the deck.

By moving in the illusion, he ultimately saved his own life. This was a valuable experience, and if he encountered the same situation again, he could use this method to solve it.

It shouldn't have been so difficult, but he didn't know what method the thing in the water had used. It actually managed to remove the ability of his Black Tai Sui. Fortunately, despite going through many hardships, the result was somewhat acceptable.

"Taoist, your Li Sui in your belly helped you a lot. If it wasn't for it, you wouldn't have been able to climb onto the ship."

Li Huowang touched his belly and reviewed everything he had just experienced, feeling slightly relieved.

"Huowang!" A sharp ear-piercing noise sounded, and Li Huowang instinctively covered his ears.

It was Yang Na's voice, and Li Huowang couldn't possibly be mistaken. Thinking of her desperate appearance, his heart ached like a knife.

With a grim expression, Li Huowang kept comforting himself, "That must be an illusion. There are too many coincidences over there. It's just an illusion! I don't need to care about what happened over there. It's just an illusion!"

Li Huowang muttered to himself for a long time, trying hard to push Yang Na's image out of his mind.

When he finally let go of his hands covering his ears and no longer felt any ringing, he let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the hallucination was a lingering effect from before. He would have to be careful when encountering unfamiliar evil spirits in the future. They might have the ability to nullify the power of his Black Tai Sui.

"Hehe... Look at you, you're better off dead than alive."

Ignoring Red's sarcasm, Li Huowang took out the "Fire Robe Scripture" and silently healed himself.

"No matter how much suffering I endure, there will always be an end. I still have hope to escape from this life that's worse than death! As long as I find a way to force Beifeng to tell me how to get rid of the hallucinations..."

"Three copper coins."

"Empty bottle."

"Half a penny, I win."

Seeing the leaf cards spread out in Li Huowang's hand, the other three people immediately threw their cards in frustration. "How come you win again, master? Did you use your supernatural powers to switch the cards?"

"If I really used supernatural powers, I might as well just rob you directly. Why bother going through all this trouble? Stop talking nonsense and pay up."

Some tarnished silver coins and various old and new copper coins were all pushed in front of Li Huowang.Just as Li Huowang was shuffling the cards for another round, a stomping sound suddenly came from the deck above. "We're docking! We've arrived at Apricot Island!"

Upon hearing this, whether they were playing cards or watching, everyone rushed towards the exit staircase.

When Li Huowang's feet touched the dock of Apricot Island, he took a deep breath, finally, he had arrived.

However, Li Huowang was suddenly in a bit of a predicament. Although Zhuge Yuan had told him to find him, according to the ship's captain, the entire Apricot Island was as big as half of Jiangnan Road. In such a large place, how was he supposed to find Zhuge Yuan?

Li Huowang pondered for a while, then pulled out a yellow ginger paper from his bosom. When it came to finding people, he still needed to use this talisman to divine.

However, to divine, he definitely needed human bones, which was a bit difficult as he had no idea how to prepare them.

Although it was difficult, after thinking for a long time, Li Huowang still came up with an alternative method.

He first cut open his healing amputated arm, and with gritted teeth, Li Huowang reached into the flesh and blood, grabbed the arm bone, and yanked it out forcefully.

Accompanied by a strong sense of acid pain and emptiness, Li Huowang pulled out his entire bloody and mangled upper arm bone like pulling out a radish.
