Baron of the Red Crystal Hunter Group stood there, quietly waiting for everyone's response.
What he ant was that all fifty-three people here would follow him, abandoning their original goals to join him in facing the final boss, the Fire Dragon!
Many hunters fell into hesitation.
Many of them were only aiming for a small goal.
The Fire Dragon in the land of dragon breath was incredibly powerful, far beyond what these amateur hunters could defeat.
Facing the Fire Dragon was not sothing they had even considered!
But now, Baron of the Red Crystal Hunter Group was actually extending them an invitation.
Chen Qi looked suspiciously towards Baron and the equipnt carried by the Red Crystal Hunter Group.
The Dragon-Specialized Giant Cannon, fireproof tattoos, high-lting-point shields, Potion No. 13...
Luxurious dragon-slaying equipnt.
There were more than just Dragon Nest Island in the D-grade cracks above the sea.
What could make a person co back to a crack like this one at the first chance after ten years?
Other than revenge, what other reason could there be for soone to return?
The hunters' treasure... Chen Qi imdiately thought of this.
Unlike the previous treasures, he now knew neither the location nor the difficulty of the treasure.
Chen Qi had a strong intuition that the other party was also here for the hunters' treasure.
And this old man Baron might know more than he did.
What Barro was doing now appeared to be for revenge, but the real goal was probably sothing else.
"Baron, you wouldn't harm us, would you? After defeating the Fire Dragon, you wouldn't keep the materials to yourself?"
"What are you saying? In the past few years, Brother Baron has distributed all the Skill Cards and Occupation Cards to us."
"Brother Baron is old, and to him, money isn't important.
Being able to defeat the Fire Dragon and avenge his brothers is his only wish."
"Revenge, what does revenge have to do with us? How can we ensure that this guy won't attack us on the way?"
A small number of hunters voiced their opposition.
Baron smiled:
"Everyone, I follow the principle of the scales and the God of the Day; I will not break my promise or the iron rules in my heart.
Plus, if we wanted to ambush, the Red Crystal Hunter Group wouldn't need to gather you all together.
Besides, we have only eight people in the Red Crystal Hunter Group, how could we strike against more than forty of you?
I swear to you, my invitation is heartfelt; I truly want to clear this crack.
Also, here we have mbers of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, and I've heard that they maintain the order of the nearby seas.
Under this lady's watch, I wouldn't be able to do anything to you."
Little Red Riding Hood blinked, surprised to be ntioned by him!
But Baron was right, the Blood Blade Pirate Group did indeed offer bodyguard services.
Whether it was protecting islands or clients within a crack, it was all within their scope of services.
Compared to other pirate groups, the Blood Blade Pirate Group placed more emphasis on their reputation.
Thanks to their good reputation, they had the support of many islands.
Little Red Riding Hood puffed up her chest, slightly annoyed as she looked at Baron.
She had to admit, Baron had experience in clearing cracks.
If they had his help, the journey through the crack would be much easier.
Little Red Riding Hood ford a blood-red long Blade in her hand, lifted her head, and said to everyone:
"50,000 Shell Coins! If any beast dares to attack another during this crack expedition, I'll intervene!
Don't worry; as long as you pay, I swear on the Blood Blade Pirate Group's na that I will protect you."
Though Little Red Riding Hood wasn't even 1.6 ters tall, she exuded a domineering presence, like a biting cold wind.
The crowd looked at each other.
If they had the protection of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, Baron wouldn't dare to lay a finger on them!
The 50,000 Shell Coins for a bodyguard weren't too expensive, so Chen Qi took 50,000 Shell Coins out of his backpack card.
Although Little Red Riding Hood had a sharp tongue, she was known on the high seas for valuing affection and promises.
Spending 50,000 Shell Coins to add extra assurance to the expedition wasn't a loss.
Under Little Red Riding Hood's witness, all fifty-three people on the crack expedition paid her 50,000 Shell Coins each.
Little Red Riding Hood accepted the money:
"Rest assured, I will protect you."
Seeing this, Baron smiled:
"Well then, everyone, with the protection of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, we should be able to work together and face the Fire Dragon!"
Cooperation was indeed the best way to defeat the Fire Dragon.
Baron took Little Red Riding Hood's place at the front:
"Follow , everyone. Those charred creatures can only provide so insignificant Spiritual Points.
And I know a route that can avoid these charred creatures and reach the volcano summit."
With familiarity, Baron led the way along the volcano, setting off towards the summit.
On the way, the mbers of the Red Crystal Hunter Group also took out climbing equipnt and took a shortcut.
Chen Qi maintained a safe distance, following the group cautiously.
Where it would have taken at least a day to reach the high part of the volcano, under Baron's guidance, they arrived at a platform below the summit in just two hours.
Baron wiped the sweat from his face:
"Alright, everyone, it's about ti to rest for a bit."
They were now on a large flat stretch of land.
Going further up would lead to the dragon's nest!
"Huff, huff—"
At this mont, they could hear the heavy breathing of the dragon.
Under Baron's command, everyone leaned against the rocks, gasping for air.
"We've finally arrived!"
"I'm exhausted, and this place is too hot."
