"Thank you for accepting the commission. I am the publisher of this commission — Irene Victoria."
Wang Feng stared at Irene, whose golden eyes sparkled on the stage, and his heart couldn't help but ripple.
If I could marry into her family, I could at least save myself eighty years of hard work, he thought with a sigh.
As a dragon-training family, their wealth wasn't the absolute highest in the world, but it ranked among the top three.
Lingling, standing next to him, rolled her eyes at his thought, showing a look of mild disgust—but even she had to admit that Irene was breathtakingly beautiful.
Irene was tall and well-proportioned, with blonde hair cascading like a waterfall and golden eyes that gleamed like stars.
She exuded an innate noble temperament, radiating a queen-like aura that made people instinctively want to conquer her.
"Although many of you are already familiar with the rules of entering Dragon Valley, there are also many newly promoted Hunter Masters here,
so I will explain briefly," Irene said, raising her chin slightly as her golden eyes swept over the crowd.
"Your mission is to delve into Dragon Valley and map its terrain and dragon nests. The more detailed your map, the better."
"When your map meets our standard, you can return it to the Victoria family to claim your reward."
"The richer and more complete the map, the greater your bounty. And the team that produces the most detailed map..." She paused, a faint smile forming at her lips.
"Will have the opportunity to choose any dragon egg from the Victoria family's dragon egg vault as a reward."
The moment her words fell, a low commotion spread through the arena. Many teams, participating in this kind of commission for the first time, lit up with excitement.
"The Victoria family's dragon egg library... the eggs must be at least pseudo-dragon level!"
"There are even some sub-dragons among them!"
"Yalong, that is comparable to the monarch level!"
A monarch-level dragon could elevate a hunter to seven-star Master, and even give them a chance to challenge the Hunter King!
Even without summoning, selling such a dragon could net billions—or tens of billions—in wealth.
More importantly, a single sub-dragon could become the foundation of a family, passed down for generations.
"Okay, enough gossip." Irene's voice rang again.
She waved her hand, and several attendants pushed forward carts filled with silver spray bottles.
"All teams entering Dragon Valley will receive a special spray from the Victoria family," she said, holding one bottle aloft.
"This spray can significantly mask your scent and reduce the vigilance of dragon beasts, greatly increasing your survival chances."
Her voice suddenly sank, a flash of coldness in her golden eyes.
"But the premise is that you do not actively provoke dragon beasts, and certainly do not attempt to steal dragon eggs. Otherwise, not even this spray will save you."
Her words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing the hope in some hunters' hearts.
The attendants distributed the sprays, and hunters stepped forward one by one. Wang Feng took his and examined the bottle, engraved with the Victoria family emblem.
"Is this really that useful?" Wang Feng whispered.
"Exactly. No wonder the number of teams returning safely from Dragon Nest over the past decade has increased. This is the 'black tech' in action," Lingling said.
Irene's gaze swept over the hunters once more. "Remember, returning alive is the most important thing. Good luck."
With that, the hunters began moving toward Dragon Valley, Wang Feng and Lingling included.
The moment they passed the entrance, Wang Feng felt a darkness cloud his vision, followed by a dizzying sensation.
When he stabilized, the landscape had changed dramatically.
High mountains stretched endlessly, peaks towering into the clouds. Low dragon roars echoed in the distance, shaking the mind, and the air brimmed with an ancient, dangerous aura.
Many Hunter Master teams had also gathered, preparing to split up.
"Everyone!" a burly man with a scar called out. He led the Anaconda Hunting Group.
"To claim the Victoria family's bounty, we must explore separately. Identical maps mean no reward!"
Another woman in red armor, leader of the Blazing Lion Hunting Group, added, "The valley is vast. Each team should pick a direction and avoid overlap."
Teams quickly divided: some to the eastern canyon, some to western mountains, others to the northern forest.
Soon, only Wang Feng and Lingling remained at the entrance.
"Lingling, which direction?" Wang Feng asked.
Lingling squinted, weighing the canyon, mountains, and dense forest. Finally, she pointed to a narrow passage between the canyon and mountains.
"Let's go that way."
"Okay, I'll follow your lead!" Wang Feng nodded. A crescent-shaped star track appeared behind him, tearing a dimensional rift open.
From it leapt a giant silver-white wolf.
"Moon, it's up to you!" Wang Feng patted her head, then picked up Lingling and mounted Moon's back.
"Set off!"
Outside the Dragon Valley entrance, a man in green-tinged leather armor walked forward with calm steps. Behind him, two middle-aged hunters followed.
"Eileen."
"Zhe Luo?" Irene's golden eyes widened in surprise.
Zhe Luo smiled confidently, masking a hint of stiffness. "I heard Dragon's Nest is open again, so I came to train."
Irene frowned. "Dragon Valley is dangerous. You shouldn't enter lightly."
"If it's not dangerous, it wouldn't be training," Zhe Luo said, nodding toward his two five-star hunter companions. "We'll be fine."
Irene assessed them, noting their super-level strength, and finally nodded. "Okay, but be careful."
A glint of joy flashed in Zhe Luo's eyes. He then asked teasingly, "Eileen, if I win first place in this commission, will you honor me with a French dinner?"
Irene's golden eyes showed a flicker of helplessness. "If you can do that."
