He displayed a speed that was beyond the reach of any cultivator at the Ascension Wheel Realm.

Finally, Dapeng stopped at the place where they had stayed a day ago, panting.

At this time, Dapeng was already exhausted. He placed the three people at the foot of the ravine where two mountains met, then lay on the ground, sticking out his tongue and gasping for breath.

"Is Junior Sister Huangfu okay?" Kong Ju first took a mouthful of nectar to temporarily stabilize her injuries, and then hurriedly helped up Huangfu Wuqin, who was exhausted and could only barely stand by leaning on Dapeng.

She was the most seriously injured, and her eyes met the red vertical pupils directly.

The blood in her eyes never stopped flowing during the entire escape, and it kept flowing down her eye sockets, staining most of her green veil red.

Kong Ju was highly alert, and with the endless vitality he absorbed from "Dragon Metamorphosis", he was constantly repairing his injuries, and most of his injuries had healed by themselves along the way.

After taking another sip of the nectar, he was no longer in danger.

"It didn't chase us?" Huangfu Wuqin kept his eyes closed and spoke in a weak voice. The first thing he asked was whether the owner of the eyes had chased us.

"No, if it had the intention to kill us, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to leave at all." When Kong Ju said this, there was still lingering fear in his eyes and his face was as pale as paper.

"That big snake is definitely Zaoxuan! It's only high, not low!" Kong Ju said in a firm voice.

He had never felt death so close before. His life and death depended on the other party's thoughts.

Moreover, this giant snake was different from Long Shu. Its personality was obviously much weirder. Just a glance at it almost cost them their lives.

At its level, Kong Ju and his companions are nothing more than ants.

Life and death are just a thought away, and crushing them to death probably wouldn't bring it any emotion.

Kong Ju secretly rejoiced, then supported Huangfu Wuqin and slowly poured the remaining nectar in the bottle into her mouth.

Huangfu Wuqin didn't know if it was because of his injury, but he behaved extremely docile this time. He drank the nectar in small sips, then leaned on Dapeng for a long time without saying a word.

Maybe I no longer have the strength to speak.

No matter how dumb Shangguan Yuzhou was, he understood what Huangfu Wuqin and Kong Ju had just encountered from their conversation.

The palms holding the sword turned white from the clenched fists.

"There is actually such a terrifying existence in this world."

"Fortunately, we are lucky. Maybe that immortal is in a good mood. Next time, we may not be so lucky." Kong Ju looked at the direction of the Black Mountain from afar. Now it is thousands of miles away. At this distance, even Immortal Zaoxuan may not be able to see through.

In fact, he understood why they survived this time.

It was all thanks to the three of them, especially Huangfu Wuqin's strong luck, that things moved rapidly at the moment of life and death.

By chance, the owner of those pupils no longer had the intention to kill.

If it were someone less lucky, it would have died the moment it opened its eyes.

This encounter was truly an accident.

It took Kong Ju a long time to calm down. After he figured out the cause of this crisis, he said to Shangguan Yuzhou, "This wilderness is too scary. We can't travel like this anymore."

"Meeting that... Black Mountain today was a wake-up call for us."

In the previous half month, there had been no terrible crises, which caused everyone to relax their vigilance.

We almost forget that this wilderness is the source of endless horror legends.

"Yes, when we travel from now on, you and I will take turns using pupil techniques to prevent this kind of crisis in advance."

"Dapeng's speed must also be reduced to give us time to react."

Huangfu Wuqin closed her eyes and her breath was as sweet as orchid. After drinking the nectar, she breathed a little slower and her tone became much clearer.

But it may take some time to fully recover.

"Okay!" There was no reason for Kong Ju to disobey.

Oddly enough, Kong Jue's instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune after his fortune changed did not move when he saw the Black Mountain.

It is a sensation that only occurs after the vertical pupil opens its eyes.

Save Kong Ju from suffering injuries comparable to those suffered by Huangfu Wuqin.

"Is it because the opponent is too powerful, so powerful that even his luck cannot sense it, or is there some other reason?"

Kong Ju stared blankly into the distance, thinking about the difference today.

What he didn't know was that Zaoxuan's soul was rooted in heaven and earth.

It can be said that the space where Zao Xuan Zhenren is located is completely separated from the outside world.

His perception can only sense the current space, but cannot sense the crisis in other spaces.

Only when the black dragon opened its eyes did it feel the connection with the void.

However, it took Kong Ju a long time to figure out this factor.

"After this incident, we can't travel any further today."

Kong Ju looked at the lying Dapeng, who no longer had the strength to fly. When escaping just now, it had used some secret technique and had flown thousands of miles in less than an hour. Now, it was exhausted and did not even have the strength to call out.

Huangfu Wuqin, the strongest fighter among the three, was seriously injured.

Shangguan Yuzhou was the only one who was not injured, and he was responsible for keeping everyone on guard.

"You guys take good care of yourself, I'll go and keep watch."

As he spoke, he held his sword and flew up to the nearby peak, leaving Kong Ju and Huangfu Wuqin behind.

Kong Ju put his fingers on Huangfu Wuqin's wrist and began to check her injuries. Within two or three breaths, his brows were deeply furrowed.

“It’s worse than I expected.”

Kong Ju only suffered minor injuries in his meridians, but Huangfu Wuqin's meridians were almost shattered. His dantian was like a raging sea, and the thundering spiritual power in his Taoist foundation burst out everywhere uncontrollably.

The explosion made Dapeng grimace in dismay, but luckily he had thick skin and was only hurt.

Kong Ju only had his fingers on her wrist, but he could clearly feel the golden lightning attacking him like needles.

Fortunately, after Kong Ju survived the dragon metamorphosis tribulation, he became more tolerant to thunder, and these drifting lightning bolts would not cause much harm to him.

"If it were another Shenglun monk, he would have lost half his life. It's just that Junior Sister Huangfu has a good foundation. But this injury will probably take some time to recover."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Although it was serious, it did not threaten Huangfu Wuqin's life. Kong Ju's tense brows finally relaxed.

The second-grade healing medicine he had just refined, the Qiongjiang Liquid, also had a warming effect on the meridians. In addition, Huangfu Wuqin had a high level of cultivation, so he was able to suppress it.

It’s hard to imagine that this is the consequence of just glancing at the owner of the vertical pupils.

Only today did Kong Ju truly realize the horror of Zao Xuan.

After taking the nectar, Huangfu Wuqin entered a state similar to deep sleep.

She was not completely asleep. Her breathing was rhythmically inhaling and exhaling spiritual power, and tiny thunder was coming out of her mouth and nose.

Combined with the nectar to restore damage.

Kong Ju gently put down her wrist and stopped disturbing her, but took out a jade slip.

How could they not bring a map jade slip when they have traveled two or three hundred thousand miles?

The strange thing was that Kong Ju had not seen the black mountain on the jade slip before. When he saw the black mountain just now, he took out the map jade slip to confirm it.

His consciousness sank into it, and he searched the map again and again, but still did not find any mark about Black Mountain.

"That black mountain seemed to appear out of thin air." Kong Ju took out the jade slip, his eyes uncertain.

…

On the second day, Huangfu Wuqin slowly woke up from Dapeng's body.

The moment Huangfu Wuqin moved, Kong Ju walked over and extended his hand to support him, but was rejected by the latter by waving his hand.

She pursed her lips and said in a rather stubborn manner: "No need to help me, I can stand up."

Kong Ju had no choice but to withdraw his hand in disappointment, but Huangfu Wuqin's current appearance did not seem to be okay.

His face was as pale as paper, with blood oozing from the corners of his eyes from time to time, and his tone was filled with fatigue that could not be concealed.

Such a weak posture has never been seen on the always strong Huangfu Wuqin. This is probably the first time she has suffered such a serious injury.

During this process, she tried to open her eyes. Kong Ju saw from a close distance that the eyes that were originally as bright as the moon were now covered with bloodshot red veins.

"Can you see it?" Kong Ju waved his hand in front of her.

Huangfu Wuqin did not respond immediately. He was stunned for a moment with his eyes unfocused, and then he murmured, "It's over, I'm blind!"

Obviously it was a sad thing, but Kong Ju could not hear a trace of sadness from her mouth, as if it was not her own eyes that were blind.

Kong Ju laughed in silence and just consoled him: "You are not blind. I checked your eyes. It is just temporary blindness. It will be fine after some time."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Huangfu Wuqin had full faith in Kong Ju's alchemy skills. After hearing his comfort, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Kong Ju saw that Huangfu Wuqin was already in the mood to make a joke, so he ignored her objections and pulled her to check again.

"You've recovered well, Senior Sister Huangfu, the breathing method you used yesterday combined with the nectar was surprisingly effective. Was it taught to you by our ancestor?" Kong Ju said in astonishment.

In just one day, the meridians have healed almost completely.

"Hmph, that's because I, your senior sister, am gifted." Huangfu Wuqin snorted, with a hint of complacency in his voice.

"Just keep talking stubbornly!" Kong Ju shook his head, suddenly remembered something, took out the jade slip of the map, and his voice became a little solemn.

"Yesterday I checked the map that Master gave us before he left. Guess what?"

"What can we do? There is definitely no Black Mountain on the map." Huangfu Wuqin seemed to have known the answer long ago. Because she couldn't see, she simply closed her eyes and said in a calm voice, "There are probably only a few people who can see the Black Mountain and survive."

"But we did follow the route marked on the map without any deviation. The Black Mountain was blocking the route, which was really weird." Kong Ju said here.

He subconsciously thought of all the horrific rumors about this wild land, and his tone was shocked.

Huangfu Wuqin also thought of this, and they both fell silent.

It was Huangfu Wuqin who came to his senses first and said, "That map is kept in the treasure house of the Cangwu Sect. It is the safest route explored by countless generations of ancestors and it will never go wrong."

"There is only one possibility, that is, Black Mountain appeared out of thin air. This land is inherently strange." (End of this chapter)
