Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 79 The Twin Fire Dragons

Baron of the Red Crystal Hunters stood there, quietly awaiting everyone's reply.

What he meant was that all 53 people here should follow him, abandon their original goals, and go with him to fight the final boss, the fire dragon!

Many hunters hesitated.

Many of them just want to earn a small fortune.

The fire dragons in the Dragon's Breath Land are incredibly powerful, far beyond the capabilities of amateur hunters like them.

Facing the fire dragon was not even in their consideration!

But now, Baron of the Red Crystal Hunters has actually taken the initiative to invite them.

Chen Qi glanced suspiciously at Baron and the equipment carried by the Red Crystal Hunters.

Dragon-specific giant cannons, fireproof tattoos, melting point shields, No. 13 fire potion...

Luxurious dragon-slaying equipment.

The D-level rifts on the sea are not limited to Dragon's Nest Island alone.

It can make someone return to this rift immediately, ten years later.

What reason, other than revenge, could bring the other party back again?
The hunter's treasure... Chen Qi instantly thought of this.

Unlike the previous treasures, he now knows neither the location of the treasure nor its difficulty.

Chen Qi had a strong intuition that the other party was also after the hunter's treasure.

This old man, Baron, probably knows more information than he does.

Everything Barrow is doing now seems to be for revenge, but his real goal is probably something else.

"Baron, you won't harm us, will you? After defeating the fire dragon, will you pocket the materials?"

"What did you say, Brother Balong? Over the past few years, you've given us all the skill cards and class cards."

"Brother Balong is old; money is not important to him."

His only wish was to defeat the fire dragon and avenge his brothers.

"Revenge? What does revenge have to do with us? How can we guarantee that this guy won't ambush us on the way?"

A small number of hunters voiced their opposition.

Baron smiled:
"Friends, I believe in the scales and the god of the day. I will not break my promise, nor will I violate the ironclad rules in my heart."

Furthermore, if the intention was to launch a sneak attack, the Red Crystal Hunters wouldn't need to gather you all together.

Besides, our Red Crystal Hunters only have 8 people, how can we possibly take on your group of 40-plus people?

I swear to you, I truly want to clear this rift.

Moreover, there are members of the Bloodblade Pirates here. I've heard that the Bloodblade Pirates maintain order in the coastal waters.

"Under this lady's watchful eye, there's nothing I can do to you."

Little Red Riding Hood blinked; the other person had actually mentioned her!
However, Baron is right; the Bloodblade Pirates do indeed offer bodyguard services.

Whether it's protecting the island or safeguarding guests in the cracks, it's all within their scope of business.

Compared to other pirate crews, the Bloodblade Pirates place greater emphasis on their reputation.

They were able to gain the support of many islands thanks to their good reputation.

Little Red Riding Hood puffed out her chest and looked at Baron with some displeasure.

She had to admit that Baron had experience in navigating the rift.

With his help, the crack will be much easier to manage.

Little Red Riding Hood conjured a blood-red longsword in her hand, raised her head, and said to the crowd:

"Fifty thousand shell coins! If any beast dares to attack others during this rift journey, I will take action!"

"Don't worry, once you pay, I swear in the name of the Bloodblade Pirates that I will protect you."

Although Little Red Riding Hood is less than 1.6 meters tall, she exudes a powerful and domineering aura, like a cold, biting wind.

Everyone looked at each other.

With the Bloodblade Pirates protecting them, Baron wouldn't dare to lay a hand on them!

The bodyguard fee of 50,000 shell coins wasn't too expensive, and Chen Qi took out 50,000 shell coins from his backpack card.

Little Red Riding Hood may have a foul mouth, but on the high seas, she is one of the most loyal and committed people.

Spending 50,000 coins to add an extra layer of insurance for this trip to the Rift is not a bad deal.

With Little Red Riding Hood as witness, all fifty-three people who participated in the Rift Journey gave Little Red Riding Hood 50,000 coins.

Little Red Riding Hood accepted the money:
"Don't worry, I will protect you."

Seeing this, Baron smiled:

"Alright, everyone, with the Bloodblade Pirates protecting us, we should be able to work together to fight the fire dragon!"

Cooperation is indeed the best way to defeat the fire dragon.

Baron replaced Little Red Riding Hood and moved to the front:

"Everyone, please follow me. Those charred monsters can only provide a negligible amount of spiritual points."

"But I know a path that can bypass these charred monsters and get me to the top of the mountain."

Balong knew the route well and headed towards the summit of the volcano.

Along the way, the members of the Red Crystal Hunters also took out climbing tools and took a shortcut.

Chen Qi kept a safe distance and carefully followed behind the group.

What would normally take at least a day to reach the top of the volcano was accomplished in just two hours under Baron's guidance, bringing them to the platform below the summit.

Baron wiped the sweat from his face:
"Alright, everyone, it's about time to take a break."

They are now on a large flat area.

Go further up, and you'll reach the Dragon's Nest!
"Huh, huh-"

At this moment, they could already hear the heavy sound of dragon breath.

Under Balong's command, the group approached the rock, panting heavily.

"finally reached!"

"I'm exhausted, this place is so hot."

At that moment, Baron silently took out a red crystal from his backpack card in front of everyone.

Chen Qi took out the kettle, his gaze involuntarily falling on the red crystal.

He has prepared many guides for the Dragon's Nest.

Once the fire crystal is broken, the fire elemental aura it emits is enough to lure the fire dragon down from the mountaintop!

and many more!

Baron wants to start fighting monsters on this platform!
Chen Qi gripped his weapon and looked at Ba Long.

Baron turned his head, and in that instant, he caught Chen Qi's gaze and said:
"Hmm? That's quite surprising, young man, you actually know about this?" At the same time, the other hunters of the Red Crystal Hunter Group also looked at Chen Qi.

"I've seen it in books, this is fire crystal, right?"

Chen Qi replied, drinking the water from the kettle; he had already tried his best to minimize his presence.

But the momentary surprise that flashed through his mind was still caught by the man nicknamed Baron.

By initiating the attack without authorization, it's clear that Baron and his group intend to create chaos!
"Balong, what are you doing?"

Snapped!
It was accompanied by the sound of crystal shattering.

A wave of scalding heat instantly filled the platform in front of us!
Looking at the scorching flame in his hand, Baron said:

"Don't worry, everyone, I mean no harm."

The terrain at the mountaintop was too narrow, and this spot was the perfect platform to confront the fire dragon.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. They never expected that Baron would suddenly take such a crazy action!
Baron wanted to forcibly drag them into the battle against the fire dragon!
Just two hours ago, the Bloodblade Pirates paid for bodyguards.

However, they were not given a chance to think!

Accompanied by the shattering of crystal!
A powerful wind blew from the mountaintop, and the sound of the dragon's wings flapping was like a storm descending!
Two fire dragons, like two falling stars from the sky, flew towards this place from the mountaintop.

Little Red Riding Hood drew her long knife and lunged forward:
"Baron, what the hell are you doing?!"

That damned Red Crystal Hunters group started a raid without their permission!
Baron turned his head, looked at Little Red Riding Hood, and smiled:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought you were all ready, but now is indeed the best time."

You're fucking asking for it!

Little Red Riding Hood conjured a crimson longsword in her hand and charged towards Baron.

She has already received the money and is going to cut the beast that is threatening their journey through the rift in two and smash it to pieces!
Baron silently pulled a revolver from under his clothes and aimed it at Little Red Riding Hood!

boom!
"Mere bullets!"

Little Red Riding Hood swung her knife, slicing through the bullets.

However, the next moment, to her surprise, after the bullet was cleaved, some red powder burst out and splashed onto her body.

Little Red Riding Hood blushed, immediately sensing something was wrong:

"What kind of powder is this?"

"Who knows?"

Baron revealed a half-smile.

He spread his arms and addressed the crowd, saying:
"Gentlemen, the fire dragon has arrived! Now is the time for us hunters to confront it!"

Chen Qi looked at the two fire dragons that were slowly descending from the sky.

As Baron said, he joined the rift ten years ago.

He prepared for this trip to the Rift for a full ten years!
Everything happening before their eyes was under the control of this man nicknamed "Giant Hand".

The addition of the Bloodblade Pirates did not change anything.

"What exactly is this powder?"

Little Red Riding Hood took out three bottles of universal antidote from her backpack card and drank them.

The battle between humans and humans, and between humans and dragons, has begun... Chen Qi looked at the chaotic scene before him and silently drew his black sword.

Roar!
A tremendous dragon roar surged toward them like a tsunami.

The moment the fire dragon saw them, they had no room to retreat.

At this moment, Little Red Riding Hood, one of the main combatants, is still taking her medicine.

She had no idea what kind of powder she had just been given, and could only mindlessly drink the medicine.

"that……"

Chen Qi walked over to Little Red Riding Hood and reminded her:
"Little Red Riding Hood, the antidote is useless. It's not poison, but an aphrodisiac, and an extremely rare dragon-grade aphrodisiac powder at that."

However, dragons have no interest in humans, but they will still keep a close eye on you, making you a prime target for attack.

Aphrodisiacs that can induce strange emotions in large creatures are extremely precious medicinal materials in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, which has a diverse population of genders and races.

Chen Qi remembered that this powder could only be obtained from C-grade cracks.

Its rarity has surpassed the normal rewards from Dragon's Nest Island!
"?"

Little Red Riding Hood paused for a moment. She hadn't expected that a Level 1 chef would be so knowledgeable and even offer her advice.

But what the heck is an aphrodisiac?
This person doesn't seem very bright either... Chen Qi explained:

"Simply put, you were the first one to be hit by the dragon."

"what?"

boom!
Dragon Falls!

The fire dragon suddenly descended from the sky, like a red lightning bolt cleaving down from the heavens, and slammed hard into Little Red Riding Hood.

Immediately afterwards, the male Rathalos lashed out with its tail, wrapped it around the small, thin Little Red Riding Hood, and slammed it against the wall in the distance.

In an instant, Little Red Riding Hood tried to block with both arms, but was still thrown a hundred meters away, and a large amount of blood gushed out from her body.

Seeing this, Baron took the greatsword from his back:
"Alright, Little Red Riding Hood of the Bloodblade Pirates should be able to handle Rathalos."

Then, he silently turned around, opened his arms, and said:
"Fire Dragon! We, the Red Crystal Hunters, are back!"
Friends, now there is no turning back. Let us join together to drive away the fire dragon!
Fight! Hunt!

"Come on, dragon, let me feel your wrath! Let me see if you can stop us again!"

Baron laughed loudly.

Something's not right... Chen Qi looked towards the female Rathalos in the distance.

This female Rathalos was covered in wounds from the storm, and its scorching scales spewed flames, as if radiating endless rage.

This is the berserk state that only appears in the second phase!
Why does he go into a berserk state as soon as they meet?
"interesting."

Chen Qi smiled inwardly, then jumped back and quickly pulled away from Ba Long.

Balong drew his greatsword and concentrated all his power into it.

Power Slash!
boom!
In an instant, the female Rathian charged forward, slamming the charged Baron into the rock.

"!"

Everyone felt the scorching heat of the scene before them.

What was the speed of that fire dragon just now?

The two strongest members of the team were instantly knocked away by the two dragons!

Chen Qi gripped a protective layer of energy around his body while taking out the backpack card containing the Deep Sea Spirit.

"Roar!"

Two fire dragons, exhaling their breath, were about to incinerate everything in front of them.

At that moment, everyone felt a surge of frenzied inspiration.

The female Rathalos has entered a berserk state, ready to unleash her pain upon the world; the Rift distortion level has increased by 5%.
