American comics: I gradually replicate everything

The group hurriedly returned to the main hall of the Jade Emperor Palace, where the atmosphere was heavy.

Tigress's condition cannot be delayed; time is of the essence.

Without saying a word, Master Raccoon strode into the inner room.

A moment later, he took out an item carefully wrapped in oilcloth and returned to the center of the hall.

He unfolded the oilcloth layer by layer, revealing a yellowed and brittle sheepskin map with frayed edges.

"This is a map leading to Scorpion Valley."

Master Raccoon carefully spread the map out on the large wooden table.

The map was drawn in great detail, with mountains, rivers, and dangerous roads marked with lines of different colors.

Although it is old and the ink has faded somewhat, the general outline is still clearly discernible.

Van Ken immediately stepped forward and bent down to examine it closely.

He quickly identified the location and familiarized himself with the route, measuring the distance on the map with his fingers and making quick mental estimates.

According to the map, Scorpion Valley is located southwest of Jade Emperor Palace, about 100 miles away.

At their pace, if they travel at full speed, they should be able to make a round trip before sunset.

"The premise is that there are no unexpected events on the way and no delays in the valley."

"I...I want to go too."

A weak but stubborn voice rang out.

Tigress was pale and sweating profusely, but she forced herself to stand ramrod straight.

She sneezed, quickly rubbed her nose with her paw, and her voice was a little weak.

The thought of possibly losing the martial arts skills she had painstakingly honed over a decade and becoming a helpless cripple made her restless and unable to stay in the Jade Emperor Palace waiting idly.

Moreover, she has always been stubborn and strong-willed, and never asks for help from others.

Letting her lie there like a patient who needs care, waiting anxiously for someone to save her life, is worse than killing her.

"no."

With concern, the mantis spoke with the objective calm of a healer.

"You are a patient now, and you can't even take care of yourself."

Moreover, your current situation is very dangerous; your muscles could twitch and go out of control at any moment, making it impossible to use your skills and potentially causing you to injure your companions.

"What? I can't—"

Tigress looked like she'd been stepped on.

Accidentally injuring a teammate?

This is an insult and a questioning of her hard work and dedication over the past ten years!

But before she could finish speaking, her right arm suddenly twitched violently out of control, as if it had its own consciousness, and shot out sharply.

A straight punch delivered without warning!

Linghe was originally standing to Tigress's left, but just now, to avoid Tigress's spittle from her sneeze, she quietly moved to the right.

As a result, the sudden punch landed squarely on him.

"Hmm!"

Linghe's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets from the blow. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the wall. A few feathers drifted down as he slowly slid down, his face filled with utter despair.

"Why am I always the one who's unlucky..."

Tigress stared blankly at her fist, then at the crane in the corner, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Facts speak louder than words; she did indeed lose control just now and almost hurt her companion.

A deep sense of powerlessness and fear welled up inside me.

Her kung fu was starting to get out of control.

"We must obtain the Sacred Sun Orchid and return it before sunset."

Time is Tigress's life; it can't be wasted.

Van Cannon wasted no time, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Go to as many places as you can; there's strength in numbers."

Especially the Spirit Crane, your flying speed is the fastest. If there's an emergency, or if there's simply not enough time, you'll need to fly back at full speed with the Sacred Sun Orchid.

"Then who will take care of Tigress?"

"I'm worried," said Qiao Xiaolong, one of the Furious Five, who is also a girl.

Master Raccoon spoke up.

"Let the mantis stay."

He used to be a doctor, although... he wasn't very good at it, but at least he knew some basic patient care, which was better than all of us.

Mantis did indeed work as a doctor before becoming one of the Furious Five and knew some acupuncture techniques. He nodded and did not refuse.

"Leave it to me."

I'll keep an eye on Tigress.

"I...I don't need to be taken care of." Tigress stubbornly turned her head away, but her voice was clearly lacking in confidence.

"The reason the Mantis stayed wasn't entirely to take care of you."

Vanken added.

"The Jade Emperor Palace has the responsibility to protect the Valley of Peace."

We've mobilized all our forces, and if bandits or other enemies take advantage of the situation, someone will be needed to protect the residents.

The mantis is quite skilled; keeping it around is just in case.

This reason is even more convincing.

Tigress opened her mouth but didn't speak. For the safety of the Valley of Peace, she had nothing to say about this arrangement.

"Let Abao stay too."

Master Raccoon glanced at Po.

"Running a hundred miles is quite a burden for you."

You usually get out of breath just climbing a few steps.

Po didn't want to be looked down upon or feel useless, and he wanted to join in and do his part for Tigress.

"Steps are steps, but there are a full nine hundred and ninety-nine steps from the foot of the mountain to the Jade Emperor Palace. Who can climb up without panting?"

I should be fine with the 100-mile journey; I feel I've made significant progress in martial arts training lately.

As he spoke, he made a few moves with a series of "humming and hawing" sounds, and his posture was quite impressive.

The stairs have a special effect on Po, so it cannot be generalized.

These past few days, Van Can has indeed seen Po practicing martial arts seriously. His enthusiasm doesn't seem like he's faking it, and with Po's talent, he's definitely making progress.

"Ah Bao should go with him," Van Ken said. "An extra person is an extra helper. If he can't keep up, he can always come back later."

The Mantis stayed behind to take care of Tigress, while the rest of the Jade Emperor Palace set off in full force, heading towards Scorpion Valley.

……

For ordinary people, a journey of more than a hundred miles is not necessarily possible even if they travel non-stop until sunset.

But for martial artists like Van Can, who possess exceptional skills, it's a different story.

Without delay, everyone set off immediately.

Leaving the Jade Emperor Palace and entering the mountains and forests, several figures immediately displayed extraordinary skills.

Instead of taking the usual routes, they leaped and flew directly through the mountains and forests.

Van Cannon took the lead, his figure like a white lightning bolt, using the tree trunks for leverage to move lightly and swiftly, landing silently.

Master Raccoon was small, but his two legs were incredibly fast. He could cross water on duckweed and walk on leaves, leaving a trail of swirling leaves behind him.

With a flap of its wings, the crane glides at low altitude, soaring over the treetops at its fastest speed.

The golden monkey swung and leaped among the branches with incredible agility, occasionally letting out a squeaking sound.

The little dragon darted swiftly along the grassy ground, like a silent, emerald shadow.

Ah Bao... Ah Bao was left behind.

He gritted his teeth, swung his short legs, and chased after it with all his might. Although he was the slowest, he actually managed to keep up.

The sun gradually rose higher, scorching the mountains and forests.

Sweat soaked everyone's clothes, but no one slowed down.

At noon, when the sun was high in the sky, radiating its most intense light, the group arrived at their destination, Scorpion Valley.
