Chapter 345 Dragon Gate (2)
He glared fiercely at the carp, his eyes filled with murderous intent. If it weren't for the rules of the Dragon Gate preventing him, he would have skinned and gutted the carp. How dare a mere Foundation Establishment stage demon general obstruct him like this? If this were outside, he would definitely teach him a lesson. But then he sighed. This was just an illusory creature created by the rules of the formation, not a real life. Why was he getting so angry? It seemed rather petty.
He had already figured out how to deal with the situation. It was actually a very simple method, but he hadn't thought of it before. He would stay next to the other people. If the carp continued to affect him, it would inevitably bump into someone else. Then, the conflict would no longer be between the carp and him, but between the carp and everyone else, which would naturally make things much easier.
He squeezed into the very center of the school of fish, where there were many fish jumping in an orderly fashion. They were all very careful not to disturb others, because if they collided, not only would the other fish fall, but they themselves would also fall. This was a lose-lose situation, and they would not do it. Gu Yuchuan chose to jump here.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the carp was also making a jumping motion, clearly still determined to obstruct him. Gu Yuchuan snorted inwardly and jumped up directly. Sure enough, it crashed into him again. However, this not only caused Gu Yuchuan to fall into the water, but also several carp around him, who surrounded the troublemaker.
The other party explained for a long time before everyone believed it was just an accident. But an accident can only happen once. If it happens repeatedly, it's no longer an accident, but deliberate sabotage. Gu Yuchuan glanced at him and prepared to jump again.
The carp's programmed instructions were to disrupt Gu Yuchuan. Sure enough, it was ready to jump. As Gu Yuchuan jumped, it crashed into him again. This time, several carp were affected. This time, it couldn't be explained as an accident. Everyone surrounded him.
Gu Yuchuan shouted loudly, trying to stir up everyone's emotions: "He has knocked me down many times, it must have been on purpose. This kind of fish, he doesn't have enough potential, so he tries to stop us. It's simply despicable."
Everyone was talking at once, all extremely angry. For the aquatic race, leaping over the Dragon Gate was a matter of defying fate, and they would not allow anyone to disrupt it. The other party's actions were already an act of obstruction and hatred. They surrounded him and drove him out of the Dragon Gate's area. It would take him more than an hour to return here. This time would be enough for Gu Yuchuan to climb the Heavenly Bridge and begin the next stage.
Gu Yuchuan thanked the carp beside him: "Thank you all. I wish you all can cross the Dragon Gate and become true dragons."
Although they are not real living beings, they did help Gu Yuchuan, so it is only right to express our gratitude.
He took a deep breath, mobilized all his muscles, and prepared to make his actual jump. Fortunately, he had just devoured the essence of the crocodile's flesh and blood, which greatly strengthened his carp body. Otherwise, jumping up would have been a difficult task. Finally, he reached the sky bridge, which was exactly 100 meters long. Crossing it would mean passing through the Dragon Gate. However, crossing the sky bridge was very difficult, with many obstacles in between.
Outside, Qionghua's face was filled with uncontrollable joy. Although it was only a small step forward, she prayed in her heart for her king, praying that he could truly break the formation and soar to the sky. She didn't want to return to the cold and dark bottom of the Cangzhu River. She wanted to live, to live under the blue sky and white clouds, and no longer hide. But all of this depended on her king surviving. Fortunately, her king had once again overcome a small tribulation.
Standing on this sky bridge, Gu Yuchuan felt immense pressure. It was similar to the sky ladder he had climbed in the previous formation, both requiring him to slowly move forward under tremendous pressure. However, this carp's body was not his own dragon body, making it even more difficult. But he couldn't back down; he had to go all out to get through it and break this broken formation. He had a premonition that he could gain some benefits from this formation, perhaps even advancing his cultivation to a higher level.
He felt immense pressure on his body, and every movement was extremely difficult. Carp have no legs, and walking on land is already difficult enough. With this added pressure, he felt like he couldn't breathe. He longed for his dragon body. If he were in his dragon form now, he could cross this bridge in no time.
He moved slowly, finally making it a meter. But even that one meter made him gasp for breath, clearly indicating how difficult it was. However, there was no other way. He forced himself to keep moving. He had to cross this sky bridge and pass through the Dragon Gate, otherwise he would die here, which he certainly didn't want.
He continued to move slowly, and although the pace was very slow, he was indeed moving forward. There was already some blood on his body. Walking on land with a fish tail was indeed too difficult.
Outside, the Canglan Realm was filled with joy. Qinghai Zhenren laughed again: "I knew it! This mere monster thinks he can break our formation? He's delusional! With eighteen Golden Core cultivators at the Great Perfection stage, defeating him is a piece of cake. When he dies, we'll taste what dragon meat is like."
They were all laughing, clearly not believing that Gu Yuchuan could pass. But one person thought there was no problem: Qionghua. She had complete faith in her king. If the king said he could pass, then he could. All she could do was watch intently and pray for her king in her heart.
Soon, Gu Yuchuan had moved forward ten meters, but he still felt extremely uncomfortable. He even coughed up a mouthful of blood. The pressure on this overpass was immense. He looked around and saw that several carp had also reached this point. Everyone was still moving forward, and he couldn't stop. If he stopped, he would die.
After walking ten meters, the scene before him changed. A pool of lava appeared before him, containing many stone slabs. He had to cross these slabs to reach the other side. He sighed deeply, truly feeling that this formation, like the one before, was perhaps built by the same person. The logic was exactly the same; even he was starting to get annoyed.
Moreover, this is indeed not easy to get through. He is a carp now, an aquatic creature, and what he fears most is fire. Can he really get through it?
