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

Chapter 78 The Invincible Little Red Riding Hood
[Inspiration assessment in progress...]

[Inspiration analysis a resounding success!]

Rift Name: Dragon's Abode

Grade: D
Sexual aspect: flower, cup
Description: On a volcanic island, the villagers hold a sacrificial ceremony every year, hoping to one day receive the dragon's blessing and become one of the dragons.

After countless prayers, two fire dragons came to live here.

However, after eating the offerings, they did not leave.

If the fire dragon doesn't leave, the volcano will eventually erupt and burn everything to ashes.

The island's inhabitants have set down their flower-decorated boats and are pleading with you from afar to help them drive away the fire dragon.

Clearance condition: Drive the dragons out! This is human territory!
Special clearance condition (flower pattern): The dragon is regarded as a symbol of nature, and you need to make the dragon leave without harming it.

Crack distortion: 27% (High distortion rate, this crack is extremely dangerous, please be extremely careful).
Rift level restriction: Only those of level two or below can enter this rift.

The number of players allowed in the Rift is limited to one hundred.

Inspiration: You see two fire dragons descending from the sky, unleashing hellish flames and venting their pain and anger upon the world.

Inspiration (Special): At the summit of a volcano, you see a man with both arms severed. Just as he is about to kill the fire dragon, he suddenly shudders, and strange black tentacles sprout from his body. He ultimately dies from being burned by the flames.

Chen Qi quickly scanned the inspirations before him.

It's another large crack, and a Class D crack with 27% distortion.

In the new world of Sunrise, the difficulty increases exponentially with each level of the Rift.

"The boss of this Dragon's Nest is a pair of male and female fire dragons. We've encountered a tough boss."

The male and female fire dragons are a very famous couple of bosses in Dragon's Nest.

If you're not careful, you'll be beaten up by the husband and wife dragons in a doubles attack.

Moreover, whenever the fire dragon kills a player, it will kiss the player's lips in front of them.

It's not just about killing someone, it's about destroying their spirit!

Therefore, there are daily posts on the forum from newbies asking for help on how to defeat the Twin Rathalos.

When the fire dragon's health drops below 50%, it will flee its habitat.

Once both fire dragons have left, the rift will be cleared.

Chen Qi took out a cloth and polished the black knife until it gleamed.

The Double Fire Dragon is very difficult.

Fortunately, precisely because the fire dragon is so difficult, he has extensive experience in clearing it and knows many special ways to defeat it.

The way to clear the Flower Phase is simply to bypass the regular battles, make the fire dragon happy, and you can clear the stage directly and get more rewards.

Animal conversations, charm spells, and other techniques can all be used to achieve special clearance conditions.

In addition, there are some unorthodox ways to pass the level.

If you are a player with dragon blood, you can also seduce a fire dragon and incite a civil war between the two fire dragons.

His culinary skills can also play a significant role in this crack!

Chen Qi then turned his attention to the second source of inspiration.

The hunter with tentacles—is this related to the treasure of the deep-sea hunters?
"We don't have enough information..." Chen Qi packed his things, gave Pei Lu a look, and walked to the small boat full of flowers on the beach.

"Didn't you come to Flower Island to do business? How come you're so skilled?" Peilu stared blankly.

Chen Qi skillfully blended into the crowd, followed in their footsteps, and boarded the small boat heading to the Dragon's Abode.

More than fifty people boarded the small boats bound for Dragon's Abode Island.

The Bloodblade Pirates only sent one person, Little Red Riding Hood.

Fenrir the wolf asked:
"Hey, Little Red Riding Hood, don't you really need your brothers to keep you company?"

Little Red Riding Hood tilted her head at a forty-five-degree angle and snorted coldly:
"No need. They're just two little lizards. I can easily drive away the fire dragon on my own!"

Do people who believe in the code of the blade all prefer to fight alone...? Fenrir said helplessly.
"Really? Little Red Riding Hood, just so you know, there are other hunters besides the dragon."

Sometimes, people are more terrifying than monsters.

Little Red Riding Hood's gaze lingered on Chen Qi for a moment before sweeping over the others.

She wasn't targeting anyone in particular, but in her eyes, everyone present was trash!
She curled her lip, revealing an expression of invincible confidence:
"Don't worry, I'm the strongest!"

Little Red Riding Hood straightened her clothes and jumped directly onto the ship at the very front.

Chen Qi looked at Little Red Riding Hood with great interest.

As the future Blade Witch, Little Red Riding Hood's strength indeed far surpasses that of other second-tier transcendents of the same level.

The key word is: wild!

However, it appears that this crack is not a normal crack.

Chen Qi chose a middle-sized ship and stayed with the other traveling hunters.

As a sea breeze gradually blew by, the small boat carried them towards another world.

Soon after, the outline of a black volcano gradually appeared in the distant fog.

On the ship, the hunters began to discuss the matter.

"It really is a fire dragon! To drive them away, we all have to use all our strength!"

"Everyone needs to assemble and prepare for a team battle."

"Since we're going to have a team battle, we need to choose a captain. I suggest Baron, the captain of the Red Crystal Hunters."

I don't think anyone will object, right?

"Yes, Crystal Hunter Baron! He has experience clearing one C-rank rift, five D-rank rifts, and thirty E-rank rifts. He is very experienced and is the most suitable leader for us."

Chen Qi listened quietly.

As these people have said, the fire dragon has an extremely high amount of health. Without a special strategy to defeat it, a large-scale battle is necessary.

Moreover, this is only when facing one fire dragon. Two fire dragons would greatly increase the difficulty.

Few people could withstand facing two massive fire dragons at the same time.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Baron, the leader of the Red Crystal Hunters, tapped his index finger on the dagger in his hand and coughed twice:

"Since everyone has said so, then I shall take on the role of commander for this dragon-driving operation."

Chen Qi looked at the other person.

This is an old man with red hair, dressed in a hunter's outfit made of extraordinary deerskin, and his weapon is a greatsword specifically designed to deal with large creatures.

At the same time, some beast tattoos that enhance physical strength can be seen on his exposed skin.

Both their basic skills and their weaponry are highly professional.

Given their age and experience, the other party was indeed the best commander for this operation.

While it's appropriate, there's no doubt that the other party hired actors.

I felt a sense of vigilance upon waking up in the morning.

Like the Flower Witch, his first impression of the old man was not good either.

There was always a clear sense of deliberate intent in the other party's actions.

A sea breeze carrying the scent of sulfur brushed against my cheek.

When Chen Qi looked up, a volcanic island covered with black rocks appeared before them.

We have arrived at Dragon's Nest Island.

As the mist gradually dissipated, the fifty-three members of their group jumped from the small boat onto the black soil ahead.

The black rocks are exposed, forming spectacular cliffs.

The distant villages had already been charred into charcoal by the fire dragon, and some charred people, spitting black smoke, kept writhing on the ground.

Chen Qi took a few steps forward and looked towards the highest point of the mountain, the summit of the volcano.

The two fire dragons returning to their nest looked like two swirling sparks in the sky.

The mountaintop is where the fire dragon dwells and where the dragon's breath grass grows.

"Let's play it safe. I'm still too inexperienced and probably can't withstand the combined attack of two fire dragons."

Chen Qi thought to himself.

The safest way to defeat the fire dragon is for others to cooperate.

At this moment, Baron slowly walked to the front of the crowd:

"We have finally arrived after traveling a long distance. I believe that everyone here has come here with a dream."

Our goal is to clear the rift.

As long as we drive away the fire dragon, each of us will receive at least one skill card.

I wonder if any of you would be interested in hearing me say a few words.

"Old man, spit it out!"

Little Red Riding Hood gritted her teeth and said sternly.

She could tell that the Red Crystal Hunters had made very thorough preparations for this hunter's expedition!
After Balong finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the fire dragon circling in the sky:
"Everyone, at my age where I am about to die, wealth and power are no longer important to me."

Compared to those things, fame, posthumous status, the last wishes of my friends, and the regrets of my long life are the most important.

And this island is my regret.

Then, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing an arm covered in red scars.

This is the back of my hand that was burned by the fire dragon!

Chen Qi was slightly surprised. This Baron had made more thorough preparations for this rift than he had imagined.

At that moment, a person in the crowd stared wide-eyed and asked incredulously:
"Old hunter Baron, you participated in this rift?"

Crystal Hunter Baron sighed, lost in memories, and said:
"Yes, I came to this crevice ten years ago."

My old friend also died in this crack ten years ago.

He fought the fire dragon alone to protect us.

But because of this, I watched his head being bitten off.

This became a lifelong regret for me.

I have returned to avenge my friend.

At this point, Balong looked up at the summit of the volcano, a few tears streaming down his face, his eyes filled with regret.

Everyone was surprised and delighted.

Baron was already incredibly powerful, and he was even the previous participant in the Rift!
If you can get help from the previous participant in the rift, the probability of clearing the rift will increase significantly.

"The previous participant in the rift..." Chen Qi pondered.

Balong scooped up some black soil from the ground:
Even after ten years, the land here remains largely unchanged.

Although some of my statements are a bit outrageous, I know more about this rift, the monsters here, and everything else about this place than anyone else here.

With our strength, we can directly challenge the fire dragon.

Therefore, I have an idea to speedrun the Rift. I wonder if any of you would like to come with me?

Baron showcased all his strengths and offered everyone an option.

The traveling hunters were extremely excited, as if joining Baron's team would guarantee them a bountiful harvest.

Balong raised his head and looked resolutely towards the highest point of the island:

"Everyone, let's work together to drive the dragon away!"
