"But there's Black Mountain ahead, so we can't take the road shown on the map. We may have to take a detour."

When Kong Ju said this, he looked at Huangfu Wuqin, wanting to hear her advice.

There were only two options before them: take a detour or return the same way.

But if we take a detour and leave the safe route of the jade slip, we don’t know what accidents we might encounter along the way.

The risk is too great.

It would be safe to return by the original route, but their journey as Tianqi and his group would probably be delayed indefinitely. They could not advance rashly before finding a new map, and they did not know whether they could make it in time for the opening of Chaodi Ancient City.

Huangfu Wuqin thought for a long time, tilted his head and looked at Kong Ju, and put forward his own opinion: "Then take a detour?"

"Okay. If we encounter irresistible danger again, we will have to temporarily give up going to Tianqi and return the same way." After Kong Ju passed through Black Mountain, he had more awe for this wild land.

The last sentence was said to Huangfu Wuqin, and also to myself.

"That's up to you." Huangfu Wuqin agreed happily.

The two reached an agreement.

Kong Ju called Shangguan Yuzhou, who was watching from a high place, down and explained the result of his discussion with Huangfu Wuqin.

"This wild area is indeed full of evil. If we really can't get through, we'll just go back home." Shangguan Yuzhou has always listened to Kong Ju's advice. Moreover, the result of this discussion also has the support of Huangfu Wuqin, so there is no possibility for him to object.

So the three of them took the jade slips and began to plan a new route.

In the area where the Black Mountain was located, they drew a large arc and chose a path they thought was safer.

Thus half a day had passed.

Dapeng had woken up a long time ago, but he was a little depressed. He had been frightened by the giant snake yesterday, and he tried his best to use his secret method to escape, but he was in a weak state.

Seeing this situation, it was obviously impossible to expect it to continue carrying several people on their journey.

Kong Ju fed it a few Wanshou Pills and said to Huangfu Wuqin and the others, "Let it rest for a few days. We will fly into the sky. Although our speed may not be as fast as Dapeng, it is safer and we will have time to react if we encounter danger."

In this way, Dapeng turned into the size of a rooster and was hung on Shangguan Yuzhou's chest in a cloth bag, which was quite funny.

Huangfu Wuqin was carried on Kong Ju's back and continued on his journey.

Huangfu Wuqin lay on Kong Jue's back with her green hair hanging on his shoulders.

Kong Ju didn't think so much at first. As he carried Huangfu Wuqin on his back all the way, her hair brushed against his face from time to time. He smelled the fragrance at the tip of his nose and felt the softness behind him, and he became a little distracted.

Huangfu Wuqin noticed that something was wrong with Kong Ju and reminded him with a smile: "Can you concentrate on your journey?"

"I am very focused!" Kong Ju's face turned red, and he argued forcefully: "Which eye of yours saw that I was not serious?"

"Don't think I can't see because I'm blind." Huangfu Wuqin's voice was playful.

"You are blind, but can you still see?"

"You can talk back to Senior Sister now?"

"Senior Sister Huangfu, don't disturb me!"

Shangguan Yuzhou was watching from the sidelines, shaking his head and muttering to Dapeng on his chest: "Dapeng, do you think these two people are stupid? What is there to argue about?"

"Coo coo coo!" Dapeng nodded with deep emotion.

The route on the map jade slip is the safest path summarized by the Cangwu Sect over several generations.

Most of the monsters encountered on the way were at the Yanglun realm, and there were also monsters at the Shenglun realm, but there were absolutely no monsters at the Zhangsheng realm.

Once you deviate from the route on the jade slip, it is hard to predict whether the future will be good or bad.

Therefore, the three of them would stop every once in a while to allow Kong Ju to use his virtual vision to examine the road ahead. Only after confirming that there was no danger would they continue to move forward.

With this stop-and-go approach, it couldn't even reach one-third of Dapeng's speed.

But there was nothing he could do. Kong Ju would rather spend more time than encounter another crisis like the one in Montenegro.

After marching forward like this for three days, Dapeng finally recovered from his weak state. Seeing that he had regained some energy, he was pulled over by Kong Ju to be used as a mount again.

In this way, the speed is significantly improved.

But I dare not go too fast.

Kong Ju's ability to sense danger played an important role at this time.

There were two crises that made Kong Ju's hair stand on end. He guessed that they had probably reached the territory of the Palm Demon King.

On one occasion, because Dapeng was flying too fast, Kong Ji almost didn't have time to let it take a detour.

Immediately, a demonic energy erupted from the depths of the mountains. The horrifying demonic energy rushed straight into the sky, dispersing all the clouds in that area.

Fortunately, Kong Ju reacted quickly and asked Dapeng to turn around in advance.

The demon king didn't chase after him.

Although there were risks along the way, I did not encounter any life-or-death situations.

Time passes during the journey, with one thrill after another.

Kong Ju and the other two have been in this wild area for more than a month.

Huangfu Wuqin's blind eyes finally recovered slowly.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The injuries caused by the stare-in with the terrifying giant snake were almost healed with the help of the nectar and her breathing method.

Kong Ju watched Huangfu Wuqin recover, and he finally felt relieved after being worried all the way.

Although Huangfu Wuqin is sometimes willful, she is really strong. At certain times, her existence is also Kong Ju's confidence.

Of course, it wasn’t just Kong Ju who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Shangguan Yuzhou was also there.

After the Black Mountain incident, Kong Ju was injured, Dapeng was overdrawn, and Huangfu Wuqin was seriously injured. Shangguan Yuzhou was the one under the most pressure. He shouldered the burden of protecting the entire team alone and had not slept for more than half a month.

Always keep a sword in hand and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

On the second day after Huangfu Wuqin recovered, Shangguan Yuzhou fell into a deep sleep on Dapeng and slept for two whole days.

On this day, Kong Ju and his two companions rarely stopped their journey. After Kong Ju confirmed that there was no danger within a hundred miles around, they took a short rest on a mountain top with a wide view.

After Dapeng left for a short while, he got a wild boar weighing a thousand pounds from somewhere and threw it down from a high altitude.

Shangguan Yuzhou was in high spirits. He built a bonfire and roasted a large piece of meat. The aroma of meat filled the air.

The three of them feasted on the top of the mountain with the fine wine he brought from the sect.

Even Huangfu Wuqin, who usually prefers spiritual fruits, had a greasy mouth after eating them.

Dapeng ate so much that his belly was so round that he lay on his back on the ground, making strange noises.

"According to the time, we should have bypassed the Black Mountain area." Shangguan Yuzhou supported his head with his hands, lazily picking his teeth with a bamboo stick, while looking at Kong Ju who was looking at the jade slip.

The team's route has always been planned by Kong Ju.

Kong Ju turned his eyes away from the map, smiled and nodded: "Indeed, we have gone around it."

Although half a month was wasted, at least I got through it safely.

Huangfu Wuqin was also relieved when she heard this. She was the one who was most seriously injured. This was the first time that Huangfu Wuqin, who was fearless, suffered such a big loss.

Huangfu Wuqin took out a spiritual fruit that she had picked from somewhere and ate it in small bites to relieve the greasiness. Perhaps it was because the spiritual fruit was too sour, as soon as she took a bite, her cheeks squeezed together, as if she wanted to vomit but was reluctant to do so.

After mustering up the courage to swallow it, she asked Kong Ju: "Have we returned to the route on the jade slip?"

"Not yet. We have to walk about 10,000 miles to the northeast to return to the route on the jade slip." Kong Ju put away the jade slip and comforted the two: "Don't worry, we have come such a long distance. 10,000 miles is just a day for Dapeng. There will be no accidents."

"Let's take a short rest and continue our journey tomorrow. As long as we get back on track, we'll be faster."

Kong Ju calculated the time and concluded that as long as they returned to the planned route, they would reach Tianqi in about half a month.

This was undoubtedly good news. Huangfu Wuqin decided to take a bath. When she fell down just now, she saw a clear spring on the mountainside. She immediately warned Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou not to peek, and then she walked towards the mountainside holding Dapeng.

Shangguan Yuzhou has gotten used to it. Huangfu Wuqin has to take a bath every now and then during the journey. Even though he has the Wind-Fixing Pearl, no dust can be blown off the back of the Great Peng.

Only Kong Ju looked at Huangfu Wuqin's departing back with a thoughtful look on his face.

Shangguan Yuzhou was wiping the top-grade flying sword that Dongxian had given him. Seeing Kong Ju's expression, he immediately whispered teasingly, "Junior Brother Kong Ju, do you want to take a bath too?"

"I'm just thinking about a question." Kong Ju took a sip of his wine, and his tone suddenly became strange. He asked Shangguan Yuzhou: "Do you think Dapeng is male or female?"

Shangguan Yuzhou: "Well... let's ask it some other time?" (End of this chapter)
