Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Whispering Gorge, The Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate

Dylan explained, "It’s a hidden realm called The Whispering Gorge. The goal is to help a red carp leap over the Dragon Gate. It’s said that whoever crosses the Dragon Gate can become a divine being. But along the way, there are a lot of monsters. We need to hold them back. Most of them are Stage 2, Level 3 monsters. The scale is no less than a Monster Wave."

The Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate?

Johnnie had never heard of this quest in his previous life.

Becoming a divine being by leaping over the Dragon Gate,his guess was that the monsters inside were definitely not as simple as just Stage 2 or Stage 3.

But he still wanted to give it a try.

The two of them took the newly rebuilt Teleportation Array and arrived at Astral City.

This was a Level 3 city, even more magnificent and imposing.

But it was much quieter than Twin Cranes City.

Most of the monsters near a Level 3 city were Stage 4, and at this point, players couldn’t even handle them. There wouldn’t be any players coming here.

"Wait a second, I’ll call someone else over." Dylan opened a private chat and explained, "The difficulty of this secret quest increases with the number of players. This time, besides the two of us, there’s also a priest."

"No need. The two of us are enough." Johnnie refused.

If it wasn’t for Dylan triggering the quest and clearing the battlefield, he wouldn’t even want to bring Dylan along.

"Okay, then just the two of us." Dylan hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The number of monsters in this realm was no less than a Monster Wave. Normally, two people wouldn’t be able to hold them back. But when he thought about Johnnie’s terrifying power, he wasn’t exaggerating.Johnnie could take on a thousand soldiers by himself.

Even so, the two of them made sure they were fully prepared.

Johnnie went to the potion shop in Astral City and bought a large amount of High-Level Mana Restoration Potion.

High-Level Mana Restoration Potion: one potion costs 10 gold coins. It restores 50 mana points per second for 100 seconds.

Such a high price made Johnnie feel really bad, but he bit his lip and still spent 10,000 gold coins to buy 1,000 of them.

"Johnnie, don’t you need Life Restoration Potions?" Dylan asked, confused.

He also bought a lot of potions, but they were all Life Restoration Potions. The high-level ones restored 100 health points per second for 200 seconds, and they cost only one-tenth of the price of the High-Level Mana Restoration Potions.

"No." Johnnie shook his head. He had ten times the health restoration and the Void Sword’s 15% blood-sucking effect, so he didn’t need Life Restoration Potions at all.

Dylan was confused but didn’t ask further. He bought 1,000 high-level Life Restoration Potions, which should be enough for the two of them.

As for the Mana Restoration Potions, he was a warrior, so he wouldn’t use them much.

The two of them left Astral City, avoiding the surrounding Stage 4 monsters, Flame Lords, and entered the wilderness.

"This is it!" Dylan arrived at the designated location, took out the Secret Realm Scroll, and activated the secret realm immediately.

A portal of void appeared.

This was actually a permanent secret realm, just like The Secret Realm of the Sword Tomb.

This realm was definitely not simple.

Johnnie went in first, and Dylan followed closely behind.

Hum!

A wave of spatial energy, and the two of them found themselves at the foot of a mountain.

Gush...

The sound of water echoed, and beside them was a deep pool. Water flowed from the mountain top, forming a massive waterfall.

[Ding. You have entered The Whispering Gorge]

A prompt message flashed.

Dylan immediately went to the edge of the pool and said respectfully, "Red Carp Senior, I’m here to help you leap over the Dragon Gate again."

Splash!

Water splashed, and a red carp leapt out of the water. Its size was comparable to that of an adult, with golden-red scales all over its body, but it had many scars on its body.

[Red Carp: Level Unknown, Attribute Unknown]

Johnnie couldn’t see any of its attributes, meaning its strength was definitely far beyond his own.

He didn’t understand why such a powerful monster needed human players to help fight the monsters.

"Only the two of you?" a light, elegant woman’s voice came from the red carp.This red carp could speak like a human.

Dylan replied, "This time, I brought a strong person. Maybe we can succeed."

"Is that so?" The red carp looked at Johnnie curiously, but didn’t have much hope. It said, "This should be my last chance. If I fail again, I’ll never be able to become a dragon. Are you sure this person can handle the Monster Wave?"

"Uh..." Dylan hesitated and looked at Johnnie. He wasn’t sure either.

The reward for this hidden quest was very rich, and he didn’t want to fail.

Johnnie asked in confusion, "Senior, your strength should be very powerful, why do you need us to fight the Monster Wave?"

The red carp looked at him and explained, "My strength is sealed. Only by leaping over the Dragon Gate and becoming a Celestial dragon can I break the seal. Those monsters can’t kill me, but they can stop me from leaping over the gate. If I fail this time, I might never be able to become a dragon."

Oh, I see.

Johnnie could feel that the red carp was extremely powerful. Whoever had sealed it must have been a Stage 9 peak or even a Half-God.

He asked, "I wonder what the strength of the monsters blocking you is like?"

The red carp paused for a moment, then said, "I’m not sure, but it’s at least Stage 5. The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the stronger and more numerous the monsters become."

Stage 5, huh?

Johnnie’s current strength was more than enough to deal with Stage 5 monsters. Plus, he had the passive damage and attack speed from the Great Transformation Sword Technique. There was absolutely no problem.

He said confidently, "If it’s just Stage 5 monsters, I can help you deal with them."

The red carp looked at him skeptically and sighed, "Okay, I don’t have much time left. I’ll trust you guys one more time."

"I’m starting to leap over the Dragon Gate. Do your best to hold back the monsters attacking me." she said, staring at the rushing waterfall in front of her. Then she dove underwater and leapt up, surging upstream toward the mountain top.

Splash!

The waterfall roared and crashed down. Her body trembled as she entered the torrent, fighting against the water, pushing forward with all her strength.

Roar... roar...

At this moment, deep growls echoed through the forest. A number of monsters appeared.

They were Stage 3 Dragon monsters and Blood Wargs.

Dylan frowned and said seriously, "We’re just two people. Why is the difficulty increasing?"

Normally, the first wave should have been Stage 2 Magical Orcs.

"It’s fine. I can handle them." Johnnie said confidently.

Roar!

The monsters roared and howled. A number of Dragon monsters and Blood Wargs ignored Johnnie and the other person and jumped into the waterfall in a suicidal attack, charging toward the red carp to block her from leaping over the gate.

Hum!

At this moment, The Intent of the Sword hummed. Johnnie acted quickly, sending four flying swords flying out to attack the Dragon monsters and Blood Wargs.

Plop!

-1158

Blood splattered, and damage numbers flashed.

Johnnie could kill a monster with just two sword strikes.

One by one, the monsters fell, crashing into the deep pool below.

The loot they dropped was carried into the pool by the water.

Johnnie felt a little regret and said, "Red Carp Senior, just keep pushing forward. These monsters are all mine."

"Okay." the red carp said, her confidence boosted. She surged through the waterfall and quickly moved upward.

Roar... roar...

The surrounding forest was filled with the roars of monsters. Countless monsters poured out from the woods.

Johnnie pulled Dylan into his party and said, "Dylan, try to stay back. Just help clean up the battlefield."

He immediately charged into the mass of monsters.

The Great Transformation Sword Technique activated, his attacks wide and powerful, easily pushing back the incoming monsters.

As for the ones in the distance, they were instantly eliminated by the flying swords.

[Kill Stage 3, Level 5 Dragon Monster, gained 2 experience points]

...

The prompt flashed. He was killing monsters way above his level, but the experience was shared evenly, giving him only 2 points.

Dylan, however, was gaining experience rapidly.

Roar!

More and more monsters were coming out of the surrounding forest.

Johnnie felt no pressure at all. Instead, he felt even more relaxed.

The Great Transformation Sword Technique stacked 2% damage and attack speed every time he killed a monster.

At this moment, his damage and attack speed had already doubled, allowing him to easily kill Stage 3 monsters.

Monsters roared and screamed, their bodies falling into the waterfall, and blood stained the waterfall red.

Dylan followed behind, excitedly picking up the loot.

Most of it was Stage 3 gray or white gear, and there were also special items like enhancement stones.

His inventory filled up quickly, and he immediately handed it over to his subordinate outside.

Dylan told his subordinate not to touch these items.

Johnnie was helping him complete the quest, and he didn’t know how to repay him. He would never take these loots for himself.

And Dylan wasn’t without his gains either , his experience points were increasing rapidly.

In just a short while, he had already leveled up to Level 1.

"Wow, I actually don’t need any life potions." Dylan noticed that Johnnie’s health was always full. Occasionally, he lost a few hundred health points, but they were instantly restored.

It was the blood-sucking effect and ten times health restoration.

These Stage 3 monsters posed absolutely no threat to Johnnie.

As they kept climbing higher up the mountain, the number of monsters around them increased, and their strength grew stronger. They all charged into the waterfall, fearless and determined, trying to block the red carp from leaping over the gate.

Whew...

Suddenly, a strong wind howled, and flying monsters appeared in the sky.

They were Stage 4 Griffins.

Flames rained down from the sky, surrounding the red carp and instantly engulfing the entire waterfall.

Johnnie frowned. These Griffins could fly, and they were now out of the range of his flying swords.

He looked at Dylan and said, "Be careful yourself, I’ll handle the Griffins."

"Don’t worry, these monsters won’t attack players directly. Their target is the red carp." Dylan quickly said, showing no sign of concern.

Johnnie nodded, pulled out a regular long sword, and used the Fly with the Controlled Sword technique to attack the Griffins in the air.

He held the Void Sword, with four long swords surrounding him, forming a blinding cold light, and he mercilessly slaughtered the flying monsters.

[You killed a Stage 4, Level 2 Griffin, gained 11 experience points]

...

The prompt messages kept flashing. Blood flew through the air, and one Griffin after another fell from the sky.

The red carp felt much less pressure and pushed through the fire, continuing to swim upstream.

Gush... gush...

The waterfall surged and crashed, hitting the red carp hard.

At this moment, she was already covered in wounds, all from the impact of the waterfall and the rocks.

Even so, she didn’t give up, and kept moving forward despite the difficulties.

They were only at the halfway point of the mountain.

Fortunately, the Griffins were no longer coming close to them.
