Chapter 340: All things are alive, it is difficult to cross the Dragon Gate

Even though it was a hundred feet away, the big carp was still vaguely visible in the heavy rain.

In the mist all over the sky, the yellow turbid color is quite conspicuous.

Amid the scouring of the rainstorm and the stirring of the water mist, the yellowish color on the big carp's body was slowly fading away, as if some golden light was emerging from the dusty soil.

When the dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, the golden light seemed to become purer, winding around the carp's back, weaving into a bright golden thread. Suddenly, it seemed as if it was really going to turn into a dragon! Even Gu Dan was a little dazed, and he had never expected that there would be such changes and such unpredictable scenes in the mortal world.

The power of heaven and earth, the changes of living beings, the wheel of fate, all coincided and finally condensed together, which is the so-called fish leaping over the dragon gate!

When the fastest carps approached Longmen Mountain, they had to face a "waterfall" that was nearly a hundred feet high.

Although the mountain is not as straight as a cliff, but has a slope, it is extremely steep even for humans, let alone a group of creatures without even hands and feet?

Gu Dan looked at the big carp rushing in front and couldn't help but wonder, could the big carp really jump a hundred feet? That was something that ordinary masters could hardly do, let alone such a "huge monster".

This thought did not last long, and soon Gu Dan saw it.

The big carp really leaped up!

The tail, which looked like a palm-leaf fan but was much larger than a palm-leaf fan, hit the water surface fiercely like a tidal wave. A loud bang like muffled thunder was also heard from it. Amidst the shocking splashes of water, the body that was several feet long actually leaped up and crashed into the Longmen Waterfall!

The sound of rain in the surroundings could definitely not cover up the huge movement, and the big carp took this opportunity to fly several feet - this was already quite amazing, but for the Longmen Waterfall that was more than a hundred feet high, this distance was like a drop in the bucket.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Dan saw a scene that would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

The big carp that launched the attack first leaped up and smashed its body onto the rocks below the waterfall. However, it did not stop at all. Its tail slapped the rocks with great force like a paddle, and with the recoil force, it leaped up again! "Hiss!"

Gu Dan couldn't help but take a breath.

He never thought that the big carp would cross the dragon gate in such a way that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, relying on the power of its "flesh" to fight against the appearance of heaven and earth! The golden scales fell on the rocks, but protected the body of the big carp. They were like a group of monkeys constantly "climbing".

The difference is that the only thing they can do is to keep slapping the steep cliff with their tails and withstand the sweeping water, just to cross Longmen Mountain.

"If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that there are such strange creatures in the world."

Gu Dan couldn't help but sigh.

If Gu Dan had seen this strange sight in the immortal world, he would not have been surprised.

But there was clearly no spiritual light on the bodies of those big carps. They really relied on their natural bodies to achieve this level. The hardness of their scales was probably not inferior to the bones of a martial artist who had practiced internal medicine!

"The big carp travel the world all their lives. Even when they are 'resting', their bodies are still moving, which makes them strong and flexible.

It swallows mud and sand, eats metal, is hard to be hurt by knives and axes, and its scales are as hard as iron. After that, it will go south, go back thousands of miles, cross the cliffs of mountains, and cross the peaks of the sea, cut through thorns and brambles along the way, return to its hometown, and start the cycle of reincarnation again. "

Zhuangzi also had the same feeling.

Even though this was not his first time observing the fish leaping over the dragon gate, every time he saw it, a new feeling seemed to burst out in his heart.

That is the most solid and simple force in life.

We cross mountains when we encounter them and we cross seas when we encounter them, just because they are there.

At this moment, the creatures that were originally nameless in the world have become the real protagonists.

Gu Dan held his breath and concentrated, saying nothing more. Instead, he looked seriously at the big carp that was literally rushing towards him, and there seemed to be a myriad of emotions piling up in his heart.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Every time the big carp's tail hits the rocks of Longmen Mountain, a muffled sound is heard.

Dozens of big carps did this at the same time, and the muffled sounds seemed to interweave into a perfect piece of music, with one person finishing his song and the next taking the stage.

Under the music, a group of big carps brave the rapids and climb towards the Longmen Pass without fear of hardship - they know that as long as they cross the Longmen Pass, the road ahead will be smooth.

But unfortunately, life can indeed burst out with surprises beyond imagination, but it also has weights that we have to bear.

Soon, Gu Dan saw the big carp that was rushing in the front. It accidentally flapped its tail at the wrong amplitude, and the distance that it had "climbed" more than ten feet with great effort was wiped out in an instant.

The huge body was like a rock rolling down from the top of a mountain, and it crashed back into the water, creating huge waves.

Everything has to start all over again.

However, the loss of a large carp did not affect its species at all.

The rest of the big carps were still hitting the rocks with their tails to move upwards.

But soon Gu Dan found that doing so was futile.

The mountains are different.

But there is no doubt that the stones that have been washed by water over the years must be extremely smooth.

If the big carp hits the wrong spot once, all previous efforts will be in vain and it will fall back onto the water surface.

If they want to cross Longmen Mountain, they cannot afford to make any mistakes. Otherwise, the distance of a hundred feet is enough to hurt them severely. And their current climbing position is not high enough. If it is a little higher, it is possible that they will be smashed to pieces.

No matter how strong a body is, it cannot withstand such torture.

The truth that Gu Dan could understand seemed to be completely incomprehensible to the Dali people.

One after another, the big carps fell down and then rose up from the water again, leaping tirelessly towards the Longmen Mountain Pass. Under Gu Dan's observation, less than half an hour passed and the big carp that leaped the farthest only flew a distance of more than twenty feet with the help of the momentum of the rocks.

Although this is already amazing enough, for the Dragon Gate that is a hundred feet high, the difference is so far that there is no possibility at all.

Gu Dan had excellent eyesight. He could clearly see that the scales of the big carp rushing towards the dragon gate had begun to break, and even had bloodstains appearing. In the blink of an eye, they were washed away by rain and water.

Living beings are just living beings after all, they are also mortal beings, and as mortal beings, they cannot afford too many mistakes.

A distance of twenty feet was enough to shatter the armor and leave bloodstains. If it reached fifty feet and fell once, would it be possible to launch another attack? Gu Dan's brows wrinkled unconsciously.

I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Carp leaps over the Dragon Gate, carp leaps over the Dragon Gate! Only when you see it with your own eyes can you know how difficult it is.

If this is the case, even if all the big carp died here, they would not be able to fly over the Longmen Pass.

The group of big carp seemed to have discovered this situation. After half an hour, the big carp stopped moving, and no big carp tried to challenge the natural barrier before them.

"In this case, how can we get past the Dragon Gate?"

The group of big carps were still resting, but Gu Dan was a little confused.

"Just wait and see, Brother Kong. The creatures will find a way out for themselves."

Zhuang Sheng smiled but did not answer. If he had said it directly, the charm of the scene of Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate would have been reduced a little. Only by seeing it with one's own eyes could one fully appreciate its beauty.

Another half hour passed in silence.

At a certain moment, the big carps attacked the dragon's gate again! Unlike before, each big carp was quite far away, so the scene was particularly spectacular, with big carps rolling and leaping everywhere.

But this time, when they attacked, all the big carps unexpectedly chose the same place at the same time. They no longer leaped together, but one after another at a distance of several feet, like a chain of hooks, or the legendary Ouroboros, connected into a piece.

With Gu Dan's eyesight, it was not difficult to see that each of the big carps was just like they had agreed on a plan, even the distance they leapt was very similar! The big carp in the front pushed the water away and leaped upwards, while the big carp behind it lagged behind a little and followed closely behind.

In this way, the big carp in the front pushed the water away with their bodies, greatly facilitating the big carp behind them! Not only that, but the direction they chose at this time was also the farthest point where a big carp had leaped before - that was where they found it easiest to climb! In just a moment, the big carps had already refreshed the highest record of twenty feet set half an hour ago!

All previous efforts have turned into valuable experience, providing support for their next charge.

Even Gu Dan couldn't help but applaud and praise!

Living creatures have their own wisdom. They may seem extremely stubborn and reckless, but maybe they are actually accumulating valuable experience.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In an instant, the distance of twenty feet was already covered!

Further up, there is another unknown area for Dali.

But this time Gu Dan was no longer worried about them.

Even though their situation is not good at the moment.

After crossing twenty feet, the big carps were greeted by a suddenly smooth and gentle slope.

There aren't too many bumps and valleys, making it extremely difficult to use them for leverage.

Even if they choose to flap their tails, the scales will take the opportunity to open sideways like blades, and use the solid scales to forcibly "grab" the rocks, damaging themselves, and it will be difficult to achieve anything.

But each big carp never gave up, and when the big carp in front of them fell, they would always choose another place again, trying their best to explore the scenery and environment at a higher place, looking for the place that is most suitable for them to jump.

With one big carp after another coming forward, the previous record of twenty feet was soon broken to more than thirty feet.

At this point, the big carps seemed to have done everything they could, but found it difficult to move forward again.

Gu Dan even witnessed that the scales of many large carps that leaped and tested the rocks had been broken, leaving a bloody mess. Even the rain could not wash them away, and the waves were unable to clean them.

The big carp that leaped the highest had most of the scales on its tail completely shattered. After falling into the water, it did not surface for a long time.

After another half hour of effort, the water surface had become quiet again and the sky became gloomy.

Those who had climbed up both sides of Longmen Mountain with great difficulty were now starting to descend the mountain.

It was getting late and the rain was pouring down.

Even if they could withstand the heavy rain, the big carp could no longer be seen struggling forward in the dark night, so they began to rest. Staying here would only bring suffering to themselves.

Amid the sound of heavy rain, people began to slowly evacuate Longmen Mountain.

"Daddy, it seems like those two won't leave!"

In the rain, the soaked little girl tugged at her father's sleeve and said.

"Shh, don't say too much."

The middle-aged man grabbed his daughter's hand, thought for a moment, and then put her on his back. "It's getting late. Let's come back tomorrow."

The nights were chilly, and especially so during thunderstorms.

The two people who stayed behind were not immune to water and fire, but the rain was far from enough to harm their bodies.

Gu Dan had good eyesight. Even in the dark, he could clearly see the bruised and battered carps swallowing something in the water - those things were actually vomited out from the stomachs of other carps.

"There is a sac in the stomach of the big carp, which contains the breath of the five metals. It is a good material for forging weapons in the mortal world. For them, it is also a precious medicine for healing in times of crisis."

There was a gleam in Zhuang Sheng's eyes, he had already activated the spiritual eye technique, and now he spoke naturally.

"There are also extraordinary creatures in the mortal world. I have neglected this before."

Gu Dan felt a little emotional, wondering how many strange creatures like the big carp there were in this world.

However, human energy is limited, and he spent most of his time on martial arts and the way of immortality. His understanding of the secular world is actually inferior to that of Zhuangzi.

However, he had long known that this world was extraordinary. Even before the Buzhou Mountains appeared, extraordinary treasures were circulating among the countries.

Creatures that can thrive in this world, and even make a name for themselves, must have some unique abilities.

The big carps that migrated here also became quiet at night, but you can still see them swimming constantly. It is just as Zhuangzi said, as long as this thing is alive, it will keep moving.

They are gathering their strength so that they can go higher next time.

The thunderstorm gradually subsided and a hint of paleness appeared in the sky.

The rain, which had lasted for almost a day and a night, finally stopped.

Not long after the thunderstorm stopped, Gu Dan heard the sound of brisk footsteps approaching this place at a very fast speed.

If things go as expected, it should be directed at them.

Sure enough, soon, a petite figure in red came leaping over. Her slender feet landed on the smooth stone and she quickly jumped forward, with excellent flexibility and balance.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

The little girl named Lian'er came over very familiarly, took out a package wrapped in several layers of oil paper from her bosom as if presenting a treasure, and handed it over with her delicate little hand, "This is the rice-flavored chicken that my chef just made not long ago! Do you want to try it?"

Those bright big eyes blinked at the two of them, with no fear, only curiosity.

"ha."

Gu Dan laughed, "You are being nice to me for no reason. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"No, no."

The little girl waved her hands, squatted down, and asked curiously, "Are you immortals?"
