After countless prayers, two fire dragons took residence here.

The island residents have set down their journey flower boats, requesting your help to expel the fire dragons.

Chen Qi swiftly scanned the Inspirational Insights in front of him.
Another large crack, and a D-grade crack with a 27% mutation rate.
In the New Day world, each increase in crack grade means an exponential rise in difficulty.
"The boss of this Dragon Nest Land is a pair of fire dragons, a tough boss indeed."
The twin fire dragons were a famous couple boss in Dragon Nest Land.
Even a slight mistake could result in a combined assault by the dragon couple.
Moreover, whenever a fire dragon killed a player, they would kiss in front of the player.
Killing both physically and emotionally!
Therefore, the forums were flooded daily with rookie posts seeking strategies to defeat the twin fire dragons.
When the fire dragon's health drops below 50%, they would flee Dragon Nest Land.
When both dragons had left, the crack could be cleared.
Chen Qi took out a cloth and polished his black blade until it shone.
The twin fire dragons were extremely difficult.
However, because of the high difficulty of the fire dragons, he had rich experience in clearing such levels. He knew many special ways to clear them.
The Floral Appearance route, simply put, involved bypassing the conventional battle and making the dragons feel pleased, thus clearing the level directly and earning more rewards.
Animal communication, bewitchment techniques, and others could achieve this special clearance condition.
Besides that, there were also some underhanded methods to clear it.
If you were a player with dragon's blood, you could even seduce the fire dragons and provoke an internal conflict between the dragon couple.
And his Chef Skill could also play a significant role in this crack!
Chen Qi turned his attention to the second Inspirational Insight.
The Hunter with tentacles, was it related to the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure?
The information wasn't sufficient… Chen Qi packed his things and silently signaled Pei Lu, then went to the flower-laden boat on the shore.
Aren't you here on Flower Island for business? How are you so adept at this? Pei Lu stared at him in bewilderment.
Chen Qi blended smoothly into the crowd, following the people's steps to board a small boat bound for Dragon Nest Island.
Over fifty people boarded the small boat to Dragon Nest Island.
The Blood Blade Pirate Group had only sent one person, Little Red Riding Hood.
The Evil Wolf Fenrir asked:
"Hey, Little Red Riding Hood, do you really not need your brothers with you?"
Little Red Riding Hood raised her head at a forty-five-degree angle and snorted coldly:
"No need, just two little lizards. I can expel the fire dragons on my own!"
Does everyone who follows the Blade principle love to fight alone… Fenrir said helplessly:
"Really? Little Red Riding Hood, let me remind you, besides the fire dragons, there are other hunters."
Sometimes, humans are scarier than monsters.
Little Red Riding Hood's gaze lingered on Chen Qi for a moment, then swept over the others.
She wasn't targeting anyone; to her, everyone present was trash!
Smirking confidently, she said:
"Don't worry, I'm the strongest!"
Little Red Riding Hood adjusted her clothes and leapt onto the foremost boat.
Chen Qi watched Little Red Riding Hood with interest.
As the future Blade Witch, Little Red Riding Hood's strength far surpassed that of a typical Second-order Transcendent.
Her primary trait was a single word: wild!
For now, though, this crack didn't seem normal.
Chen Qi chose a middle boat and stayed with other traveling hunters.
As a sea breeze gradually picked up, the small boat carried them toward another world.
Soon, from within the distant mist, the outline of a black volcano began to appear.
On the boat, the hunters started a lively discussion.
"It's really fire dragons, to expel them, we must all give it our all!"
"We need full cooperation and a team battle."
"Since it's a team battle, we need a leader. I propose Baron, the leader of the Red Crystal Hunter Group.
No objections, right?"
"Yes, the Red Crystal Hunter Baron! He has cleared one C-grade crack, five D-grade cracks, and thirty E-grade cracks. With such rich experience, he is the most suitable leader for us."
Chen Qi listened quietly.
Just as these people said, the fire dragon's health was alarming. Without special strategies, large-scale team battles were needed to expel the fire dragons.
And that was just for facing a single fire dragon.
Facing two fire dragons greatly increased the difficulty.
Simultaneously facing two stout fire dragons, few could endure it.
Under everyone's anticipation, Baron, the leader of the Red Crystal Hunter Group, tapped his dagger with his index finger and coughed twice:
"Since everyone says so, let me, this old man, command this dragon expulsion operation."
Chen Qi looked at him.
He was an old man with red hair, wearing a hunter's outfit made of supernal deerskin, armed with a large sword specifically for taking down large creatures.
Additionally, his exposed skin bore some bestial tattoos that enhanced physical strength.
Whether in basic skills or weaponry, he was truly professional.
Considering his age and experience, he was indeed the best candidate for this operation's commander.
Though suitable, it was undeniable that this person had to have an agenda.
Chen Qi grew cautious.
Like the Flower Witch, his first impression of this old man wasn't good.
Something about the old man's actions felt conspicuously deliberate.
A sea breeze tinged with sulfur brushed across his cheek.
Chen Qi looked up to see the volcanic island, covered in black stones, appear before them.
Dragon Nest Island had arrived.
As the mist gradually dispersed, the fifty-three of them jumped from the small boat onto the black land ahead.
The exposed black rocks formed spectacular cliffs.
The distant village had already been charred into coal by the fire dragons' roasting, some charred people exhaled black gas and wriggled continuously on the ground.
Chen Qi stepped forward a few steps and looked toward the highest peak of the mountain, the volcanic summit.
Two resting fire dragons hovered in the sky like two spinning embers.
The mountaintop was the dragons' nesting site and also where dragon breath grass grew.
"Better play it safe. Right now, I'm still too inexperienced to withstand the combined assault of two fire dragons."
Chen Qi thought to himself.
The safest way to defeat the fire dragons was to cooperate with others.
At this moment, Baron slowly walked to the front of the crowd:
"We have traveled a long way to get here. I believe everyone present has come with dreams in their hearts.
Our goal is to clear this crack.
If we expel the dragons, everyone will at least get a skill card.
I wonder if any of you would be interested in hearing a few words from me."
"Old man, spit it out!"
Little Red Riding Hood bit her lip and shouted fiercely.
She could see that the Red Crystal Hunter Group had prepared extremely well for this hunt!
After saying his piece, Baron looked up at the fire dragons circling in the sky above:
"Everyone, at my age near death, wealth and power mean nothing to me.
Compared to those, my reputation, posthumous status, wishes of old friends, and regrets of my long life are most important.
This island embodies my regret."
Then, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing a hand full of red scars.
This was a burn from a fire dragon!
Chen Qi was slightly surprised. Baron had prepared even more thoroughly for this crack than he had expected.
At this moment, within the crowd, someone widened their eyes in disbelief and asked:
"Old Hunter Baron, have you participated in this crack before?"
Red Crystal Hunter Baron sighed and fell into memories, saying:
"Yes, I came to this crack ten years ago.
And my old friend died in this crack ten years ago.
He fought the fire dragon alone to protect us.
But because of that, I watched as his head was bitten off.
This became a lifelong sorrow for me.
I've come back now to avenge my friend."
As he said this, Baron looked toward the highest point of the volcano, shedding a few tears full of regret.
The crowd was shocked and delighted.
Baron was already very powerful, and he was also a previous participant in this crack!
If they could get the help of a prior crack participant, the probability of clearing the crack would greatly increase.
A previous crack participant… Chen Qi pondered.
Baron picked up some black dirt from the ground:
"Even after ten years, the land here hasn't changed much.
Though it may sound like an exaggeration, I know this crack better than everyone present, know the monsters here, and know everything here.
With our strength, we can go straight to challenge the fire dragons.
Thus, I have an idea for a fast crack clearance. I wonder if you'd be willing to join me in this?"
Baron laid out all his advantages and gave everyone an option.
The traveling hunters were extremely excited, as if joining Baron's team would guarantee great rewards.
Baron raised his head and looked resolutely at the highest point of the island:
"Everyone, let's expel the dragons together!"
