Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

The next instant, a four-colored halo suddenly shone brightly behind the red dragon's head, transforming all the dense earth-attribute magic elements in the surrounding environment into blazing flames.

Like a small sun shining in this underground world, its boundless light and heat spread wildly in all directions, tearing the surrounding darkness to shreds.

"This place is terrible; it's only suitable for insects to live in. What do you think?"

The sudden turn of events left the earth giant and his slaves, who were guarding the passage, somewhat bewildered.

The subsequent flash of intense light was something many of these creatures had never seen before in their entire lives. They only saw a white blur in their vision, followed by a thunderous sound. Startled, they frantically ran around like headless flies.

Thor looked down at the tiny creatures at his feet with displeasure: earth elementals, Thor stone golems, earth giants, and humans and dwarves.

None of them answered my question. These guys from another world have no manners at all. They have no reason to live.

The enormous red dragon casually raised one of its claws and gently tapped it against the ground.

A vast magical power suddenly surged out, spreading rapidly outwards with the vibrations.

First, countless sharp stone points emerged from the ground, rising up with lightning speed and transforming in the blink of an eye into a forest of spikes composed of spears.

One by one, humans, dwarves, and earth giants were pierced through, their blood flowing down the smooth surface of the spikes, looking like food for shrikes hanging on thorns.

Only one strangely shaped creature was spared. It had three legs, three eyes, and three arms, and looked like a triangular rice dumpling, with a large mouth at the top of its head—its name was Thor Stone Monster.

Chapter 297 The Earth Giant and the Thor Stone Monster

Even among the countless strange creatures in the Earth Elemental Plane, the appearance of the Thor Stone Golem is definitely one of the most bizarre.

It has a body that is completely symmetrical on three sides, making it impossible to tell the front from the back. The only advantage of this shape is that its lower body is exceptionally stable, so there is no need to worry about being attacked from behind.

If a wanderer of similar strength were to face such a monster, he would probably lose most of his skills.

Thor stared at the strange creature at his feet, which was curled up in fear and was about 1.5 meters tall. His mouth suddenly stretched into a ferocious grin.

“Lucky little fellow, I’ve decided to spare your life just because of your race name.”

Now tell me, where is this place! And who are these arrogant fools who keep blocking the path I cleared!

The scorching wind whipped against the Thor Stone Monster, making it feel a burning pain on its brown skin, which looked like pieces of small rocks stuck together.

Thor speaks the Common Language, which, under the influence of the world's rules, seems to be understood by any intelligent being in the multiverse.

The Thor Stone Monster in front of us is also an intelligent being, and some of the stronger ones can even become professionals.

It stared timidly at the red dragon above with one eye and answered in a low voice in the rumbling Common tongue.

"This is the edge of the Sevenfold Labyrinth, also known as the Great Dark Labyrinth."

The ones blocking the passage are the earth giants, and they seem... they seem to be on the verge of death.

Thor followed its outstretched paw and, sure enough, saw two large humanoid creatures skewered like candied hawthorns on the nearby spiked bushes.

Logically speaking, a low-level earth-attribute spell like Earth Spikes should not be able to harm earth elemental creatures.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that each of those spear-like spikes is shimmering with a faint iridescent light.

The elemental transformation and annihilation power brought by the rainbow light directly pinned the bodies of those earth elemental beings and earth giants to death. The elemental cores within their bodies were also severely impacted, to the point that they were completely unable to summon magic power.

So the two earth giants, who should have been able to escape by turning into sandstorm, were now stuck on the spikes like dried meat, without even the strength to struggle or curse.

Thor looked at the two earth giants, who were like stone sculptures and covered in gold, silver and gemstone decorations, and couldn't help but scratch his chin with his paw.

Why did he open the portal to the Earth Elemental Plane? Wasn't it just to obtain a continuous supply of super fertilizer and to trick more laborers into joining him?

These two guys in front of me seem to be better laborers than earth elemental beings.

Moreover, what is the most well-known thing about the giant spirit? It's the magic lamp! A magical object that can grant people's wishes.

Although that specifically refers to the imprisoned giant spirits, in reality all powerful giant spirit creatures possess the ability to cast limited wish spells.

If only we could capture a few Earth Giant Nobles and imprison them...

With a flicker of his eyes, the surrounding forest of spikes crumbled once more under Thor's will, transforming into countless elemental particles.

Some creatures with flesh and blood had already completely lost their breath, while other elemental beings were still barely clinging to life.

With a casual wave of his hand, Thor's long, chain-like blades extended from his claws, binding all the surviving creatures along with the Thor stone monster. He then turned and charged into the dimensional portal behind him.

Another thick, sticky sensation came over him, and when he reappeared, Thor had returned to the mountain he had hollowed out.

His subordinates were already waiting outside. At a single command, a Darkin stepped in and escorted the earth elementals and earth giants he had brought back to a special cage.

Thor then summoned his dwarves and ordered them to forge a set of shackles that could restrict the elementalization of elemental beings.

This was no easy task, but fortunately, Thor had special materials at his disposal: the scales that naturally shed during his body's growth and metabolism, and...

The red dragon's body is only so big, and the various precious minerals and energy crystals it consumes every day are considered luxurious.

When high-performance substances are continuously added to the body, the less effective substances in the body will naturally be metabolized and eliminated.

These things are nothing more than bodily waste to Thor, but to the vast majority of creatures in this world, they are invaluable magical materials.

What's even more remarkable is that these substances have been imbued with Thor's magic over a long period of time, and have acquired various unique characteristics belonging to him.

By simply adding a tiny bit of steel and some magical inscriptions, the shackles forged can completely seal the elemental transformation ability of elemental life forms.

…………

Elemental life forms have always possessed extremely powerful regenerative abilities. As long as their core remains intact, coupled with a sufficient supply of magical elements, their physical injuries can be quickly healed.

Therefore, the two earth giants that Thor brought back regained their mobility in a short time.

However, looking at the collars around their necks and the tiny dog-headed men wielding whips beside them, they felt it would have been better to have died in the previous attack.

The earth giants, who have always enjoyed enslaving other creatures, detest being enslaved by other creatures.

What's more, they are now enslaved by the lowest and most despicable kobolds. Every lash that falls on their bodies feels like a blow to their pride as elemental giants, making them feel the ultimate humiliation.

Therefore, they hated the red dragon that caused all this to the core, so much so that they wanted to suck its marrow and devour its flesh.

When this intense emotion was absorbed by the wheel in Thor's mind, a pleasant smile immediately appeared on his face, and he felt even more strongly that these earth giants were the best slaves.

Once the dwarves had forged the first batch of shackles, he immediately took the Thor Stone Golem and once again entered the passage leading to the Earth Elemental Plane.

After a heavy, sticky sensation, what appeared before me was still that inconspicuous underground tunnel, seemingly untouched by any other creatures.

This is also a drawback of the Sevenfold Maze. There are countless intricate passages, and it is said that even the Great Khan of the Earth Giants cannot remember all the routes. Therefore, it is perfectly normal for a few members to get lost.

Thor looked at the Thor Stone Monster at his feet, gave it what he thought was a friendly smile, and pointed his claw at the air, and a rainbow crystal the size of a grain of rice appeared.

Energy from the very origin of the world flows continuously within this tiny crystal, radiating a dazzling, dreamlike iridescent light.

The Thor Stone Monster, which feeds on various inorganic substances and has a particular fondness for gemstones, was almost instantly captivated. Its eyes became mesmerized, and it uncontrollably tiptoed on three legs, just to get a little closer.

"Take this and tell every earth giant you encounter that you've discovered even more! Even more mineral deposits here!"

Chapter 298 Full-Scale Invasion

Earth Giants are extremely greedy and selfish creatures. They never offer free help to other creatures. In their eyes, other creatures, like themselves, are untrustworthy beings.

Even when it comes to making deals with other creatures, the Earth Giants often require payment before they are willing to take any action.

It is precisely this insatiable nature that makes them easily deceived by powerful spellcasters with bets or lures with gems, ultimately sealing them in magical objects such as iron cans.

Ether crystals, which contain the primordial energy of the world, are rare treasures even in the multiverse.

Given the nature of the Earth Giants, who regard precious gems and metals as food, dignity, power, and even symbols of honor, it would be absolutely impossible for them to resist the temptation of the Aether Crystals.

After all, the only thing that can bring joy to a giant earth spirit is the jealousy of its own kind.

What could be more impressive than possessing a dreamlike and dazzling ethereal crystal, or more likely to arouse envy among one's kind?

…………

Thor did not hand the entire aether crystal directly to the Thor Stone Golem, because these creatures also possessed an unparalleled greed for gems.

The Earth Giants' greed is driven by a desire to show off and incite envy among their kind; while the Thor Stone Golems' greed is driven by a desire to satisfy their appetites—precious metals and gems are the most delicious things in the world to them.

Even under the threat of death, Thor wasn't sure if it could resist the temptation. If it swallowed the crystal as soon as he handed it over, the loss itself wouldn't matter, but it would disrupt his plans.

The enormous red dragon casually plucked a large rock from the wall, and flames surged beneath its claws, instantly melting the rock into liquid magma.

Then, the tiny, rice-grain-sized ether crystal was thrown into the center of the lava. Its iridescent color gradually spread out and eventually solidified into a hard outer shell on the surface. Only then did the red dragon toss it to the stone monster below, who had been eagerly waiting for it.

The enormous obsidian, almost the same size as the cube-shaped monster, was caught steadily. The monster opened its massive maw and, without a second thought, lunged to bite.

However, the moment the teeth touched the obsidian, the Thor Stone Monster suddenly felt a burning pain. The red dragon's gaze seemed to carry heat, causing wisps of blue smoke to rise from its stone skin.

Now it finally came to its senses and dared not be greedy in the slightest. It quickly bowed and ran into the depths of the tunnel with the obsidian on its back.

But once out of the red dragon's sight, Thor's craving was instantly rekindled. The eye on the obsidian side was almost pressed against the stone, and the bright red blood vessels were clearly visible.

The gaping maw on its head resembled a glass overflowing with water, saliva constantly spilling from between its fangs. Just as it was about to take a bite without hesitation, a sudden, inexplicable dizziness washed over it.

In the Thor Stone Monster's perception, time seemed to have been cut off, and when it came to its senses, it only felt its mouth filled with a strange, bloody taste.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that he hadn't been trying to bite the obsidian at all; he had clearly bitten his own arm, which was now a bloody mess, with the bone visible underneath.

This is one of the spells that Thor awakened after entering his adolescence and falling into slumber—controlling medium-sized creatures.

With his powerful mental strength, he could easily plant a suggestion in the mind of this weak monster, so that if the other party did anything he forbade, it would turn into self-harm.

There might be a slight delay, but that's perfectly adequate.

If Thor hadn't been unfamiliar with the terrain of the surrounding maze, he would have turned this guy into his puppet long ago, and wouldn't have allowed him to retain his own consciousness.

As the vague feeling in his mind gradually faded away, a winding line was drawn in Thor's mind.

He paid no more attention to the tiny creature. Behind him, the passage leading to the Prime Material Plane slowly turned, and Darkborn clad in dark red scales emerged one after another.

Leading the way was Kasos, who was already nearly 10 meters tall. His massive body was covered with layers of armor that resembled plate armor. His wide dragon wings were folded behind him like a cape. Beneath the crescent-shaped horns on his head, his pupils were like burning gold, revealing the ferocity of the dragon race.

In his hand, he also held a two-handed greatsword that was more than 7 meters long. Its body was dark red like a branding iron, and it was wrapped with black and red lightning and flames.

This was the new weapon Thor rewarded him with after he finished clearing the wilderness; as for the materials...

The stomach of a true dragon is completely different from that of an ordinary creature. Depending on the species, the internal environment also varies, and a large amount of magic and elements are involved in the digestion process.

The internal temperature of an ordinary red dragon can reach thousands of degrees Celsius. If you eat its flesh and blood, all you will excrete is a pile of tasteless charcoal and ash.

A being as powerful as Thor would have an even higher core temperature, making it like a super furnace. Ordinary matter falling into it would be completely vaporized into pure energy, and even metals of slightly lower quality would not survive.

What he consumes every day consists of various precious metals and energy crystals, in ample quantities, but only the most essential part is truly needed by his body.

The remaining substance underwent a super forging process, being smelted by the high temperature inside Thor's body. The substance that was expelled had a special name among the dwarves—Red Dragon Gold.

One by one, the Darkin, along with their legions, appeared and knelt silently on one knee, quietly awaiting the great dragon lord's command.

The already narrow underground tunnel was quickly filled up, and it even had to extend out to both sides.

The enormous red dragon raised its head high, looking down at its army, its mouth splitting into a slightly manic smile.

"The people who inherited the power of the mad dragon, the descendants whose blood burns with flames, the sharp blades and swords in my claws."

This is the Earth Elemental Plane, a treasure chest for the strong, a graveyard for the weak, a thick earth that will eventually be swallowed by flames.

Now, a new war is about to begin, and the great Thor commands you: Fight! Conquer! Plunder all that you see! Enslave all that you encounter!

Starting from here, it spread like flames in all directions, until it dragged the entire land into a burning inferno!

The roar, like the rumble of a volcano, echoed through the tunnel and spread far and wide along the crisscrossing passages.

Upon hearing the great dragon lord's command, the kneeling Darkin and their legions blazed with fire in their crimson eyes.

The blood of the mad dragon surged through their veins at this moment; battle, conquest, and destruction were the meaning of their existence.

No one spoke, and no one made a loud noise; everything proceeded rapidly in silence.

As creatures that evolved from Thor, the Darkin generally inherited his powerful physique and most notably, his fire attribute.

However, given the sheer number of Darkin, there will inevitably be some exceptional individuals who inherit special abilities, such as the manipulation of earth elements.
