Abstract
In the present work, we reconsider the idea of holographic dark energy. One of its key points is the formation of the black hole. And then, we propose the so-called "pilgrim dark energy" based on the speculation that the repulsive force contributed by the phantom-like dark energy () is strong enough to prevent the formation of the black hole. We also consider the cosmological constraints on pilgrim dark energy by using the latest observational data. Of course, one can instead regard pilgrim dark energy as a purely phenomenological model without any physical motivation. We also briefly discuss this issue.
