Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

Every so often thereafter, Thor would melt down a portion of the gold he had acquired and add it to the disc, causing its volume to increase continuously.

Even more kobolds and dwarves, some flying by magic, others climbing up chains, used colorful gold threads to inscribe on the disc a magnificent scene of a great red dragon transformed into the blazing sun, illuminating all things.

The role of wonders is undoubtedly enormous; in Thor's previous life, the winning condition for some games was to build a world wonder.

It not only enhances the cohesion of the people under its rule, but also serves as a blatant display of its own strength.

After all, only the wealthy can afford to have surplus resources to waste on such seemingly useless buildings.

In particular, the building materials Thor used were gleaming gold, which once again spread the fame of the Red Dragon's wealth.

This time, it was no longer confined to the north, but spread to the deep forests, high mountains and valleys, and even to another continent across the sea.

This quickly attracted the attention of the world's most sensitive and obsessed beings when it came to wealth.

What does it mean to have a kingdom made of gold, with a golden sun floating in the sky?

As true dragons, no matter how busy they are or how great the dangers they may encounter, they must go and see for themselves.

Chapter 352 Yellow Dragon

The huge artificial lake is crystal clear and waveless, like a bright mirror. Because it is close to the Doomsday Volcano, the geothermal energy is abundant, and the temperature of the lake water is slightly higher than that of the sea. Water vapor often swirls around the surface of the lake.

In addition, the large amount of volcanic ash brought abundant organic matter and minerals, along with the bright sunshine, caused the seaweed to grow wildly.

This attracted many small fish that feed on it, as well as larger creatures that feed on small fish.

A creature 15 meters long, resembling a giant python, swam along the long canal into Mirror Lake.

It has a body covered in fine, pale yellow scales, a large mouth full of fangs, and if you look closely, there are also inconspicuous horns on its head. Under its body grows four claws that appear exceptionally large compared to its body size.

This is a yellow dragon, also known as a salt dragon. It is said to be the smallest, most agile, and most fragile of all the true dragons.

They typically live by the sea or in salt marshes, areas with high salinity. Their breath is a column of pure white salt crystals that can rapidly dehydrate and kill organisms.

The canal that Thor ordered his men to dig had its estuary located right near the lair of this yellow dragon.

Out of curiosity, he followed the river upstream after some time had passed.

The yellow dragon was seen hiding its body in the deep water, only cautiously revealing its eyes and half of its nostrils above the surface.

It looked like a lurking crocodile, or a python waiting for its prey.

The next moment, he saw a dazzling golden light pierce his eyes, and the whole world was filled with a golden glow.

In fact, Huanglong was not a true dragon that was particularly obsessed with gold, but at this moment, he felt his heart race, his blood rush to his head, and he had a suffocating feeling that his breath was about to stop.

That golden disc floating in mid-air was truly magnificent. Just how much gold would it take to build such a majestic structure?

Because of the great distance or the enormous amount involved, the dragon's innate valuation ability became useless at this moment.

The immense temptation made him want to get closer, but the noise from the lakeside stopped him in his tracks.

Only when the night was deep and all was quiet did the yellow dragon silently crawl out of the lake and slowly approach the Doomsday Volcano.

However, they did not notice that beneath the ground beneath their feet were red mycelium, wriggling like earthworms.

…………

The majestic volcano is filled with scorching lava, its orange-red color tinged with a faint gold, like maple syrup with honey.

On those towering walls, one can see patches of crimson mycelium, like grasslands, waving wildly with the rising air currents, some even extending into the magma.

Some fungus-men, with metallic sheen and volcano-shaped caps on their heads, moved through the thick fungal carpet, collecting and distinguishing signals transmitted from all directions by the mycelium, like nerve nodes.

Most of the useless information will be discarded directly, while the few valuable pieces of information that do not require Saul's decision will be distributed as appropriate.

Only truly important information would reach Thor's ears, such as—the appearance of a strange dragon within his territory.

…………

Clad in crimson-gold scales, as if forged from divine metal, the enormous red dragon slowly opened its eyes, and a dazzling light shone forth, illuminating the entire hall.

Crimson mycelium extended from the volcanic magma, spreading upwards along the pillars supporting the Crimson Flame Palace, and gently resting on the tip of its tail.

An invisible psychic energy flashed by as information, allowing Thor to clearly see the uninvited guest.

A yellow dragon, which is known as one of the colorful dragons along with the five-colored dragon, is quite rare.

One theory suggests that they were one of the dragon species created by the Three-Tailed Dragon Queen before her death, with the intention of avenging herself against the Five-Colored Dragon and resurrecting herself.

Unfortunately, when creating these colorful dragons, the Three-Tailed Dragon Queen was too biased, pouring most of her efforts into the Purple Dragon, which resulted in the Yellow Dragon and Orange Dragon being relatively weak in comparison.

Another theory is that these three different colored dragons are actually the product of crossbreeding among the five colored dragons.

For example, a red dragon and a blue dragon will give birth to a purple dragon, a blue dragon and a green dragon will give birth to a yellow dragon, and a red dragon and a yellow dragon will give birth to an orange dragon.

In any case, their numbers are extremely small, and they are despised and rejected by the orthodox five-colored dragons.

…………

Thor flicked his tail gently, the scales, sharp as blades, rubbing against the metal, producing a piercing rustling sound.

As his size increased, he felt more and more that the human throne was not suitable for the true dragon's physique, so he simply removed all the armrests and backrests and transformed it into a huge platform.

After a brief moment of thought, Thor tapped the table, and immediately a dragon-blooded kobold with wings on its back strode in from outside the hall and respectfully prostrated itself on the ground.

“A little yellow reptile has wandered into my territory. Go and get a few men to bring it to me.”

The kobold dragon on the knees immediately obeyed and left. Before long, terrified roars and the sounds of fierce collisions could be heard from afar.

However, as the weakest of the Rainbow Dragons, its challenge level is only slightly higher than that of the White Dragon in the same age group. It is only because the Yellow Dragon is more intelligent that it can make any waves.

When the two Dark Ones made their move, they immediately forced him to the ground. His slender body thrashed about desperately, but he was unable to break free.

Then, each person grabbed one end, their huge dragon wings fluttering behind them, and rode the night wind towards Mount Doom.

As the enormous golden disc gradually magnified in view, the impact it brought caused the yellow dragon to feel a strong shock once again.

Although he had originally wanted to get closer to see, the way he achieved it made him feel no joy at all.

In particular, the crimson dragon image carved on this golden disc appeared even more majestic and dazzling as he approached, clearly indicating whose territory this was, which terrified him.

The yellow dragon, which was 15 meters long, was dragged into the magnificent Crimson Flame Palace like a dead snake.

Entering through the enormous portal, one walks through towering corridors until a magnificent hall comes into view.

It has a powerful momentum, like a tidal wave constantly gushing out, almost filling the air into a viscous substance.

The immense pressure made the yellow dragon feel every muscle in its body tremble uncontrollably. It didn't dare to raise its head, only staring at the ground and its reflection in the obsidian tiles.

When the giant accompanying him released his hands, his body slammed heavily to the ground. Because the fine scales could not provide enough defense, he felt a dull pain.

Chapter 353 Yellow Dragon Descends

“Raise your head, you weak crawler.”

A powerful voice suddenly rang out, echoing for a long time in the empty hall.

Upon hearing these words, the yellow dragon felt its breath catch in its throat, as if its heart was being gripped by an invisible giant hand, and it almost stopped due to extreme fear.

He cautiously raised his head, and as far as his eyes could see, a huge platform stood majestically, its entire body gleaming with golden light, as if it were cast from pure gold.

Countless magical crystals were piled up on the platform like pebbles on the roadside. Because of their extremely concentrated energy, they condensed in the air into dazzling ribbons that could be seen with the naked eye and flowed slowly.

A colossal red dragon was lazily coiled in the center of the platform, its massive wings gently folded to the sides of its body, so that the yellow dragon below could only glimpse half of its majestic face and its burning pupils, which were as bright as burning gold, through the gaps between its wings.

This is a red dragon, a red dragon so powerful that it suffocates even other dragons.

Its size was so enormous that it exceeded Huanglong's comprehension, making Huanglong unable to believe that such a colossal creature existed in the world.

His aura was even more domineering and unparalleled. Even after Huanglong searched through all the dragon memories he had inherited in his mind and traced his bloodline back to its source, he had never seen such a powerful and incomparable creature.

At this moment, Huanglong felt as if he were a small snake at the feet of a giant beast, which could easily crush him into dust with a mere flick of its claws.

A tremendous fear surged through Huanglong's body like an electric current, causing him to tremble violently and leaving him completely at a loss for what to do.

Thor casually surveyed the dragon, which appeared as fragile as an insect to him, and spoke in a flat tone.

"State your name, you insignificant reptile. Who gave you the audacity to trespass into my territory?"

Upon hearing this, Huanglong shuddered violently. All the old grudges between the multicolored dragon and the five-colored dragon, as well as his pride as a true dragon, were thrown to the winds at this moment.

"Your Excellency the Great Red Dragon, my name is Salzaar Zarx... I live at the mouth of the great river within your territory."

Because this great river suddenly opened up, I was really curious, so... I absolutely did not mean to offend you in the slightest, please forgive me this time!

Thor remained unmoved by Thrallassa's humble pleas.

According to the sacred covenant of the dragon race, everything within their territory—the earth, the water, the air… and all the living beings that inhabit it—should rightfully belong to the true dragons.

Since the river that originated from his territory has spread into the territory of this yellow dragon, then this yellow dragon and everything within its territory should naturally belong to him.

Thor's next plan was to build a massive naval fleet for intercontinental trade. After all, with so much gold hoarded, some of it needed to be spent; it couldn't all just sit there unused.

Having a yellow dragon that lives in the sea and is extremely familiar with the surrounding waters as a member of the ship would undoubtedly provide great help.

"Spare you? As a colorful dragon, to utter such naive and weak words is truly disappointing."

There is no mercy, no forgiveness, among dragons. You now have only two choices: submit, or die!

His deep voice carried an undeniable authority, and Salzaar trembled, not daring to entertain the slightest thought of resistance.

True dragons may be fierce and arrogant, but that applies to creatures of lower status. When faced with their own kind who are far superior in both bloodline and strength, submission is the only way out.

Next, as usual, Thor took a small scale from the chest of the yellow dragon and a trace of its essence blood, and used it to imprint his name on the scroll that was marked with the real names of many young dragons.

In this way, as long as the yellow dragon is alive, Thor can always know his location and there is no need to worry about the possibility of him betraying him.

After doing all this, he had his men interrogate the yellow dragon thoroughly to understand the distribution of underwater races and forces at the canal's estuary and throughout the Sword Sea.

Unexpectedly, the complex web of power at sea was no less intricate than that on land.

Besides the renowned Luskan and his City of a Thousand Sails, there is also the Northern Virgin Islands Federation, the Northern United Navy, Mintarn Freeport, Orombo Shipbuilding Island, and the remnants of the Zantalin Society, which have been almost completely wiped out by Thor.

This is only the power among humans. Underwater, there are also the kingdoms of the Saka fishmen, mermaids, and Nagas, the secret society of the Kraken, the raging gods led by Talos, and the fishman and mermaid deities such as Sekel and Idzo.

In comparison, Thor found his naval forces to be rather weak.

Currently, there are only a few large ships under construction, as well as some shipbuilders and sailors, but no formidable combat capability.

After all, as a red dragon, although he had mastered the ability to control water through the monster template of Namielle Dragon, he rarely used it due to his innate aversion to it.

The creatures under his command, after being infected by the Mad Dragon Curse, rarely evolved water-related abilities; most of them possessed extremely destructive abilities such as lightning and fire.

It seems I need to strengthen my training in this area, and ideally, build a powerful underwater army.

…………

Thor waved his paws, dismissing all the creatures in the hall, then rested his head on his two front paws and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

In the world of Monster Hunter, there are also many kinds of monsters living in the water. If we don't count Elder Dragons, he has drawn sea dragons, water dragons, water beasts, and so on.

Thor's subordinates don't necessarily have to be humanoids. In the vast ocean, perhaps a large, robust beast would have an advantage.

At that moment, Thor thought of the dinosaurs he had bred out of curiosity.

More than a decade has passed, which is not enough time for them to complete a generational change, but the targeted mutations caused by radiation and curses have made their monstrous features from another world increasingly obvious.

The best of them look like miniature versions of Deviljho and Rathalos, except that they don't have dragon-type energy in their bodies, nor do they possess the powerful physical attributes and breath-breathing abilities of Deviljho.

To allow them to evolve further, Thor even specially designated a habitat for them in the wilderness.

Once they are fully grown, they will serve as a powerful supplement to our air and ground forces.

So now, should we also include aquatic behemoths in the breeding program?

Thor recalled that decades ago, when he lived in a desert oasis, he had hunted a giant crocodile whose body contained a thin layer of dragon blood.

Perhaps, we could have our men capture a group of crocodiles with dragon blood, raise them in Mirror Lake at the foot of the volcano, and continuously modify them using the curse of the mad dragon and radiation.

As for the goal of evolution, it is naturally the sea dragon - the sea dragon's appearance is similar to that of a crocodile, and its electric discharge property is even more unique in the water.

Moreover, there are powerful variants of the sea dragon, such as the white sea dragon and the dark sea dragon. The dark sea dragon is said to be no less powerful than the ancient dragon.
