"WOOF! WOOF!"
Mantou's barking snapped Li Huowang out of his thoughts. As he turned his head, he saw Mantou darting into the darkness to one side.
"Taoist, hurry and go after it! That dog just caught the scent of what you're looking for!" the Monk Huan Jue urged earnestly from the side.
"The Black Taisui?" Li Huowang glanced at him, limping quickly after Mantou. The others saw this and followed as well.
The deeper Mantou chased into the darkness, the more excited he became. After circling a few times, Li Huowang also grew excited—he could smell the Black Taisui's scent too!
This is it, the Black Taisui is nearby! Li Huowang's heart thudded wildly at the thought.
Just as he was limping faster and faster, Li Huowang suddenly felt his scalp tingle. He instinctively ducked his head as something whistled past, brushing right over his scalp.
BANG! Gao Zhijian's huge wolf fang club slammed hard onto the object, saving Li Huowang.
