Chapter 342: Carp Leaps Over Dragon Gate! (Subscribe!)

"Tomorrow?"

Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Dragon Gate is over a hundred feet high, and today we have only crossed a distance of fifty feet, which took two days.

Logically speaking, the higher you go, the harder it should be. How could you cross this cliff and fly across the Dragon Gate tomorrow? "Just wait and see, Brother Kong. If you tell it to others, it will lose its fun."

Zhuangzi had admired the sight of the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate more than once, so he just smiled and did not answer.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you have your own understanding. The carp leaping over the Dragon Gate can be praised as a wonder in the mortal world, so it must be extraordinary.

Finally, as Gu Dan waited eagerly, the second day finally arrived.

This time, the yellow turbidity on the bodies of the big carps almost completely faded, and the scales showed a golden color. Where was the "country bumpkin" feeling from before? It was as if the lead and dross were washed away, revealing the real gold and white jade inside.

The big carps once again launched an attack towards Longmen Pass!

With the flap of the tail, the proud and slender body rolls and leaps to higher places, one after another, chasing each other, stretching into a long stretch, which is a spectacular sight!

The body, which had been strengthened once again with the breath of five metals, was more solid and powerful than yesterday. The scales rubbed against the rocks, making a sound like the collision of metal.

One after another, the big carp hit the rocks, and it sounded like waves of drums spreading all over the place, forming a moving and shocking melody.

As summer approaches, under the almost golden sunlight, the scales on each big carp seem to be blooming with immortal brilliance, launching an unremitting impact towards higher places.

However, not only human power has its limits, the power of the big carp also has its limits.

Even after several attempts, the big carp closest to Longmen Pass was still nearly forty feet high. Although this was already extremely amazing, Gu Dan could also clearly see that the scales on the tail of the big carp illuminated by the sunlight had once again shown signs of breaking.

Such a sprint is really a great drain on the body. The body of the big carp is so huge. If it fails once and falls down again, even if it has a strengthened body, it can still be said to be broken. How many times can it withstand it? Letting the master come and fall down like this twice would probably cost him his life. Even if the big carp relied on their racial talents to resist, how could they get through the remaining 40 feet?

Could it be that there really is a change?

A look of deep doubt appeared in Gu Dan's eyes.

With his knowledge of martial arts, it was not difficult to see that the big carp had reached the limit of its body. No matter how hard it tried, it could only go so far. How could it fly over the Dragon Gate? A hundred feet high was a real chasm for a group of fish, even big ones.

Anyone who attempts to launch a challenge is probably overestimating his own capabilities.

If he were in it, would there be any solution? Gu Dan imagined himself as a big carp, but his brows were getting tighter and tighter.

There is no way.

Since you have no hands or feet, there is naturally no way to take shortcuts.

Its huge body could not move out of water, so it had to fight against the dragon.

Even though it has demonstrated power beyond Gu Dan's imagination of ordinary creatures, at this point, all its tricks have been exhausted and it has reached the end.

But the remaining forty feet were always there, as if mocking these creatures' arrogance.

At least Gu Dan hasn't found a solution yet.

As the sun gradually set, the group of big carps seemed to have discovered this problem and soon fell silent again.

Just when Gu Dan thought that Zhuang Sheng had made a wrong judgment, the surface of the river began to churn.

No, it's not tumbling, but a large number of big carps gathered in the river, tumbling the water surface. They were so densely packed, thousands and thousands of them, that the water surface became like land. Golden color could be seen everywhere, as if broken gold was falling down.

All the big carps gathered together as if they had agreed on something. Their number was much greater than the big carps that had been charging continuously for three days! At a certain moment, the tail of the big carp in the front suddenly slapped the water surface, and its slender golden and rather huge body rushed towards the dragon's gate again.

This time, the big carp behind him was even faster. As soon as the carp leaped, he immediately caught up with it, and the cycle went on and on, it was a feast for the eyes!

There is no doubt that this time the big carps have decided to launch the final sprint, so they have summoned the strength of the entire tribe.

But how could they get through the last forty feet? Gu Dan frowned slightly. In such a short time, he still hadn't figured out a solution.

Instead, Zhuang Sheng said, "The big carps are huge in size and have an astonishing appetite. That's why they need to travel around the world. Even if they have a sac in their stomach that can help them out in a pinch, the longer they stay at the foot of the mountain, the more they will consume their own strength, so they can't hold out for too long."

Gu Dan understood. Just by looking at the big carp's body shape, he could tell that it would be very difficult for such a huge creature to maintain its life necessities.

If we stay in one place for too long, we might just eat the whole place to extinction.

Therefore, whether they like it or not, they have to travel around the world, not only for their own sake, but also to avoid causing too much damage to the surrounding environment and to avoid the occurrence of "fishing out the pond".

The longer they are trapped under Longmen Mountain, the weaker their overall strength will be. Now it is time for them to launch a final sprint.

As Gu Dan witnessed with his own eyes, the big carp that started first quickly crossed a distance of about fifty feet, but when its tail flapped, its body had already deviated.

It was not difficult for Gu Dan to see that this unsuccessful tail flick would cause the big carp to fall.

But at this moment, another big carp behind the big carp suddenly leaped up, but its goal was not to sprint upwards, but to crash directly into the big carp that was about to fall! "Bang!"

There was a sound like the collision of iron and stone in the air. This violent collision not only allowed the big carp that was on the verge of losing control to readjust its posture, but it even found a point to leverage its strength!

Gu Dan stood up suddenly, his face full of shock.

He never imagined that Dali would have this kind of cooperation method!

It was a joke among the people that "left foot stepped on right foot" and flew into the sky, but this was not really the left foot stepping on the right foot, but with the help of the companions' selfless support, he redeemed his own mistakes! In the past, when climbing by himself, if he made a mistake once, everything would be forgotten and he had to start all over again.

And this time, with the help of teammates, even the mistakes can be recovered.

The reckless carp fell down, but the carp that made the mistake was able to get back on track! In the blink of an eye, the carp in the front had already crossed a distance of sixty feet, surpassing the previous end point, and continued to move forward!

Unfortunately, the higher they went, the fewer big carp could catch up. After two more leaps, the big carp in the front made another mistake, because it was a "dangerous area" that had not been explored before, and it was difficult to find a place to stand its tail. Failure became the norm.

But this time, because it leaped too far, no companions were able to provide it with help, and it could only fall down helplessly.

But when the big carp fell, countless of its kind were still rushing towards the Longmen Pass. They had some kind of tacit understanding with each other. After the distance exceeded fifty feet, once a big carp made a mistake, there would always be another big carp to provide help, regardless of their own gains and losses.

In the continuous sprint, the previous finish line was constantly refreshed. Gu Dan, who witnessed everything in front of him at seventy and eighty feet, no longer doubted whether this group of big carp could cross the Dragon Gate.

“Everything has a soul.”

Seeing the big carps working together, Gu Dan was deeply moved.

From the perspective of a grandmaster, the limit of Dali's own strength is about sixty feet.

But there is more than one big carp, they are a tribe.

The tribe will naturally choose the way that is most capable of maintaining its reproduction and survive, and work hard to keep going.

Perhaps the intelligence of the big carps is not as sophisticated as that of humans, but the spirit of perseverance, hard work and even cooperation they show at this moment is indeed extraordinary, even making people feel ashamed.

No wonder the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate has become a wonder in the world! "Yes, the first time I saw the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, I was also extremely shocked."

Zhuang Sheng nodded gently, "All spirits exist, and life will never cease."

It was already evening, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunset glow in the sky dotted the vast sky with clouds. Standing on the top of Longmen Mountain and looking up, the vast sky was orange-red, a breathtaking beauty.

Looking down, you can see the golden fish leaping and leaping, composing its own extraordinary music.

In the process of constant trial and error, countless big carp fell down.

But they climbed up again without any hesitation. Some big carps whose scales were almost broken had obviously lost the ability to rush to the dragon's gate, but they did not give up on themselves, but climbed up again.

But this time, their goal is no longer to fly across the dragon's gate, but to try their best to help those big carps that have not fallen yet but have made mistakes.

With this kind of collaborative efforts, it is only a matter of time before we cross the Dragon Gate.

Not long after, when Gu Dandu was eagerly waiting, a big carp that had made two mistakes but was "rescued" by its companions finally jumped over a distance of ninety feet, and only had less than ten feet left to fly over the Dragon Gate!

At such a close distance, not only Gu Dan could see it clearly, but the crowd waiting near Longmen Pass all exclaimed in amazement!

The big carp that was closest to the Dragon Gate had all its scales free of the muddy yellow color. Every scale was shining with golden light, emitting a dazzling bright yellow light in the afterglow of the morning glow. It was glittering with jewels and was so beautiful that it looked like a gift from heaven.

And this time, it seemed as if all the hard work had paid off. It was extremely lucky, and both times its tail hit the rocks were at the perfect time.

With the crowd watching, it finally succeeded in flying over the Longmen Pass with its last tail flick, becoming the first big carp to cross the Longmen Pass!

The splashes of water from the big carp's tail were so violent that they formed a bright rainbow against the orange-red sunset, as if celebrating that it had finally overcome the difficulties.

The sunset glow in the sky is like a stream of fire, and the fragmented tail is shining with golden and bright red colors, like a burning fire.

The sky fire burned its tail, and the big carp jumped over the dragon gate! The scene of the fish jumping over the dragon gate is now real! After witnessing it for three days, Gu couldn't help but reveal a trace of joy and relief in his worry. His efforts were not in vain. Is there anything more respectable in the world than this?

When the big carp flew over the dragon's gate, it seemed to realize that it had succeeded, and chirped excitedly. It was the first time that Gu Dan heard the chirping of a big carp. The sound was vast and broad, and could not be described by any sound he knew in the mundane world, but it seemed to reach deep into his heart.

It’s like a dragon’s roar!

With a "bang", the big carp crossed the Dragon Gate, swam upstream, and finally succeeded.

The stirred up water mist washed in all directions. This time, Gu Dan did not use his true energy to resist it. He let the falling water splash on his body, feeling happy and cheerful.

But then, something even more shocking happened.

Three days ago, the ranger, who had several iron chains wrapped around his waist, jumped into the swift water without any hesitation and sprinted towards the big carp when the big carp leaped over the dragon's gate.

Not only him, there were dozens of other figures who seemed to have been waiting for a long time. They all jumped into the water at this moment and rushed impatiently towards the big carp that had crossed the dragon gate first.

"Hurry, hurry! This is the first big carp to cross the Dragon Gate, it's the jackpot! The Wang family has already offered a reward of ten thousand taels of gold, it just depends on who can subdue and capture it to win the jackpot!"

"The Wang family is so stingy? Hey, the Li family gave away a garden in Hangzhou just to get the first prize of the big carp. In comparison, what is ten thousand taels of gold? That place, tsk tsk, really can't be bought with money."

"I heard that the King of Dingguo personally promised high positions and generous salaries to those who presented the first prize of the big carp. Compared with the emperor's handicraft, those wealthy businessmen and powerful people are no better than this."

"Impossible?"

"How is it impossible? Dingguo is at odds with Qi, and its national strength is not as good as Qi. It is exactly where it needs external help. Winning the first prize of the big carp is not a bad omen. A high position and generous salary are nothing special."

The noisy sounds from all around spread and entered Gu Dan's ears.

His face immediately darkened.

The group of big carp only saw the difficulties and obstacles in front of them and tried their best to overcome them.

But they don't know that at their destination, there is already a group of people waiting in anticipation of their success, so that they can capture them alive and skin them alive in exchange for wealth and glory.

This was a wake-up call for Gu Danru, who was particularly unhappy.

The big carp, which had just crossed the dragon gate and was already exhausted, how could it be a match for those warriors who were ready to fight even in its own home court?

The struggle of the big carp, which was regarded as the first prize and the first to cross the dragon gate, even seemed insignificant. Soon, its huge body was pierced by layers of iron chains and it was completely locked up, unable to struggle.

Only a group of onlookers were left, and the sound of cheers echoed all around.

Gu Dan looked at melancholy, and said in a complicated tone, "So this is the carp leaping over the dragon gate."
