"Hehe."

Isabella only giggled at how Jiang Fei responded. She felt a little awkward since her behaving like a glutton was extrely unsightly.

Jiang Fei did not know much but when Isabella was a pure Demon, her eating manners were just as elegant as a human princess was. However, the current her had the blood of dragon flowing in her veins. Draconian race did not just eat. They hunt their food and ate them like a beast. Hence, after obtaining the blood of the Black Dragon Prince, Isabella had learned to love seafood. Since Isabella's power had been suppressed by being a pet, she was unable to... properly hunt. Now that Jiang Fei had reached Level 60, unlocking her powers further, she was able to defeat and consu the Nine-Headed Hydra that was found to be delicious by the Draconians.

"Oh well... You do you. Did you find anything when you were gorging yourself there?" asked Jiang Fei. There was nothing much to say but only to state the obvious. He quickly gave up on trying to understand Isabella's behavior and asked about the treasure map that he ca here for.

"Here you go!"

Isabella pulled out a rolled scroll and passed it to Jiang Fei.

The Nine-Headed Dragon was a quest-linked boss. That ant it would not drop anything besides the quest item. Besides obtaining the treasure map, the boss did not an anything to Jiang Fei. Isabella was lucky enough to eat it as a snack.

Pirate's Treasure Map (Treasure Map, Quest Item)

Use: Leads you to a single player quest map-The Island of Gold.

Note: This treasure map will be destroyed on use. If you leave the Island of Gold, you will not be able to re-enter without the map. If you wish to enter the Island of Gold again, you would need to defeat the Nine-Headed Hydra again.

"Hmm. I think I see what's going on here," said Jiang Fei as he understood what the Title Challenge Quest wanted him to do.

Based on the quest description, he would need to hunt and find the treasure in the Island of Gold. The treasure map in his hands was considered to be a one-way ticket to the Island of Gold. If anything happened, for so reason he had failed to search the treasure, he would be kicked out of the island and needed to restart the entire quest again.

Jiang Fei checked the ti and noted that it was still very early before the server shut down for the day. With nothing else to do, Jiang Fei decided to explore the Island of Gold. If he could not finish the quest, he would wait for four days until Isabella's dragon form finished its cooldown and repeat the quest once more.

"Ding! Do you wish to travel to the Island of Gold?"

"Yes," said Jiang Fei. A pillar of light ca down from the sky, enveloping both Jiang Fei and Isabella. After that, when Jiang Fei opened his eyes, both of them were in one corner of an island.

"Hoho! This is nice! No wonder the pirates ca here," comnted Jiang Fei as he smiled. The scenery was truly beautiful. The pristine beach and the erald sea was a sight to behold. The warm sun, the soothing winds, the cheerful seagulls, and the tall coconut trees were all signs of a beach that beckoned holiday mood.

"I don't like it here!" said Isabella as she held Jiang Fei's hand tightly.

"Huh? Why?" Jiang Fei was shocked. What would the princess not like about this place?

"There's sothing... Sothing evil in the air. I can feel a strong miasma of Specters here!"

"Specters? How could there be specters here?" asked Jiang Fei. The reason was simple. Specters and sunlight didn't mix well with each other. The beach was warm and sunny. It was the exact opposite of where a Specter would linger.

"I can't tell. This whole place reeks of Specters!" said Isabella defiantly.

"Alright. Calm down," said Jiang Fei. No matter how Jiang Fei looked, it seed impossible that a Specter would be there. However, he could not deny that Isabella's senses were much stronger and more sensitive than his. If Isabella said there were Specters there, it was most probably true.

"If you can feel them, that ans they must be on this island. We need to explore this place thoroughly," said Jiang Fei. The best way to fully explore the island in the shortest amount of ti would be riding on the dragon.

"Ding! Mounts cannot be summoned on this map!"

Unfortunately, mounts could not be summoned. The system notification made Jiang Fei a little annoyed.

"Doesn't matter. Let's walk," said Jiang Fei. With Isabella walking behind him, the two of them moved toward the center of the island.

It was supposed to be a small island with a small surface area. However, Jiang Fei and Isabella had walked for over two hours and could not reach the other end of the island. After the beach, Jiang Fei encountered a thick forest. The forest was thick and filled with trees that grew ever so closely to each other. As Jiang Fei proceeded, the forest grew thicker. They had to squeeze between the tree trunks.

"Verdure Glider. There is sothing funny up ahead! Can we just walk sowhere else?" asked Isabella as she stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong?"

"It feels out of place. I cannot put my finger on it but I know that it is dangerous to walk further ahead," said Isabella.

"Hmm... Alright," said Jiang Fei after he hesitated for a while. In the end, it was best to listen to Isabella.

At that mont, an arrow whistled across the forest and hit a tree trunk next to Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei traced the path of the arrow and saw that all the trees and bushes along the arrow's path were completely obliterated. It was obvious then that the power of the arrow was strong.

"Incoming attack," Jiang Fei alerted Isabella. He quickly went into his battle mode.

Soon, a large group of pirates ca out of from behind the trees, revealing themselves. There were more than fifty of them.

"Who are you? How did you co to this island?!" cried one of the pirates.

"Huh...?" Jiang Fei felt odd. The pirates were all only level 60 Elite tier monsters. Jiang Fei and Isabella could easily take them out with a slap on the face. The thing that felt odd was their statuses. Their na tags were not in red but in yellow. From the looks of it, it seed that their leader was of one of the higher intelligence NPCs.

"Are you the pirates of the Island of Gold?" asked Jiang Fei as he put up a high-and-mighty air.

"Ye dare to talk back!" cried one of the pirates.

"You. Die," said Jiang Fei. He then tossed out his hamr and knocked out the pirate who spoke out of turn. Since the pirate was only an Elite tier, Jiang Fei's attack had left him with only less than 30% of his health points.

"Ye dares to fight, dares to die! We fight!" cried the group of pirates and charged toward Jiang Fei.

"HOLD!" cried the leader pirate as he saw a smile flashed across Jiang Fei's face instead of running away. It was easy to distinguish the leader since he was wearing the curvy captain's hat.
