Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

During those more than ten years of slumber, although he never appeared, resulting in a slight reduction in the harvest of essence, he still accumulated a relatively rich "wealth".

With a thought, a fire dragon spirit, as small as a chick compared to its own size, suddenly appeared from the void and was swallowed by Thor in one gulp.

A familiar warmth surged forth, like drinking a sip of lukewarm water. After carefully sensing it, a ferocious smile immediately appeared on his face.

Although the improvement was not significant, there were indeed subtle fluctuations in his spirit, vitality, and control over the flames.

These are just ordinary monsters. What if those ancient dragons that wield the power of nature, or even the unbanned and forbidden monster templates, were to keep piling up?

Chapter 377 Small Dimensions and Development

As the undisputed face of the Monster Hunter world, the legendary king who roams the skies—Rathalos—while not the most powerful monster, is undoubtedly the most successful.

They not only possess reproductive capabilities and offspring survival rates far exceeding those of most flying dragon species, but also exhibit strong environmental adaptability, in addition to the numerous variants that have emerged from them.

These traits combined to allow fire dragons to be found throughout the Old and New Worlds, in almost every suitable habitat for life.

Among them, those individuals whose genes mutate due to their long enough lifespan or living in an environment rich in energy can rival the power of ordinary ancient dragons. They have an extremely high upper limit and a not low lower limit, living up to their illustrious reputation as "Kings of the Sky".

When Thor reloaded the dragon monster template, the abilities that had long been integrated with him underwent some strange changes under the stimulation of this power of the same origin.

A monster template different from ordinary fire dragons was born. Although the enhancement it brought was negligible compared to Thor's current strength, it undoubtedly foreshadowed a positive development.

However, due to the slight enhancement to his body, Thor couldn't immediately distinguish whether the two fire dragon monster templates combined to form a tempered fire dragon or two monsters like Azure Fire Dragon and Black Flame King.

Ultimately, as long as it can be confirmed that even monster templates of relatively low level to oneself can still strengthen oneself through repeated exchanges, that is enough.

It is important to understand that the existence of faith and divine power depends on believers, while the monster template is something that is truly integrated into one's own soul and flesh and can grow together with it.

Even though its enhancement of strength was far less than that of directly converting it into divine power, Thor accepted it.

…………

After briefly sorting out his future direction, Thor stepped out of the Crimson Flame Palace and plunged into the golden vortex above the volcano, intending to check out the small plane he had occupied before falling into slumber.

Because time flows at different rates in different planes, only a dozen years have passed in the prime material plane, but more than a century has quietly passed here.

Energy and matter from the four elemental planes of earth, water, fire, and wind continuously nourish this once barren plane, laying the foundation for the continuation of life.

When Thor emerged from the portal, the first thing that caught his eye was an endless expanse of lush greenery.

The once desolate and barren plain has long been completely covered by forests and vegetation. As far as the eye can see, there are only lush weeds and towering trees.

Even the earth itself was affected by the earth-attribute magical elements constantly emerging from the earth elemental plane, causing changes in the earth's crust and creating bulges of varying sizes, resembling mountains.

The "sun" overhead grew larger and hotter. The ether crystal at the center of the magic circle, nourished by endless fire elements, not only swelled in size but also turned completely crimson.

The air currents that constantly flowed in from the elemental plane filled the space between heaven and earth, circulating endlessly like blood.

In the low-lying areas of the earth, water flowing from the water elemental plane converges to form a vast lake, which could even be described as an inland sea.

At the edge of the plane, in a place where the sunlight cannot reach overhead, where water and wind meet, a series of glaciers have formed.

With Thor's arrival, the magic network he had drawn began to release a large amount of primal magic.

As if the seedlings were nourished by rain and dew, the entire small plane seemed to exude an aura of "joy" at this moment, and the speed of its expansion seemed to have accelerated.

Thor then transformed into a shooting star, circling the entire plane several times, and was extremely satisfied with the sight that came into view.

The environment of this small plane is already a complete ecosystem. He even found traces of fish in that vast inland sea. These are creatures that came from the water element plane through the plane passage. This is one of the reasons why life can appear in many planes after they are born, even without external interference.

The next step, naturally, is to further enrich the plant species in this small plane and introduce selected herbivores.

However, Thor didn't need to do this himself; with just one order, his men would capture the creatures he had released into the wilderness.

Over the past decade or so, the dinosaurs and dragons that were once infected with the curse of the Mad Dragon have completely changed their appearance.

One could see creatures that bore a resemblance to Diablos, Pteranodon, and Dewdratus from Monster Hunter World being transported from the depths of the wilderness and brought into this small dimension by the Darkin.

In addition, some goats, suzu deer, bison, mammoths, as well as various freshwater and brackish water fish, and even native creatures from the prime material plane such as honey and insects, were also sent to the smaller plane.

Then, the enormous red dragon, perched high in the center of the plane, spread its massive wings that blotted out the sky.

Numerous black specks of light rose up like smoke, spreading across the entire plane with the ceaseless flow of wind.

These are all diluted versions of the Mad Dragon Curse. They will find suitable hosts on their own and gradually transform these creatures from the material plane.

Some of these creatures may gradually transform into monsters in the Monster Hunter world, while others will evolve further. The final outcome depends entirely on their own destiny, and Thor has no intention of interfering.

Only those species that successfully survive and establish stable reproduction will be taken out of this small plane by Thor and gradually spread outwards.

The existence of life and soul inherently contains infinite possibilities and power.

As they spread throughout the entire material plane and even the multiverse, constantly surviving, multiplying, and growing, they will naturally imprint the creator's mark deeply into the rules of the world, causing the corresponding power of the laws to converge towards Thor.

However, this will likely be an extremely long process. For Thor, this small plane is currently just an experimental field and a high-quality farm.

Fortunately, he has an endless lifespan, so he can wait and has plenty of time.

After readjusting and reinforcing the elemental channels of the entire small plane, he ordered his dragon-vein kobolds to send a batch of energy crystals condensed in the volcano to this place every once in a while.

Afterwards, Thor selected the fattest and strongest of the horned dinosaurs he had bred, intending to taste its meat.

This behemoth, which is nearly 20 meters long, has evolved from the original Triceratops into a creature with huge horns, forelimbs for digging, and a massive tail like a heavy hammer.

Its body is covered with a shell made of a mixture of keratin and minerals, which is much harder than steel plates. Coupled with its terrifying brute strength, it would take several Darkin working together to forcibly subdue it. Its challenge level is probably around 8 to 9.

If it weren't for his low intelligence and inability to utilize the magic within his body, he could easily overwhelm an adult white dragon based solely on his physical attributes.

Thor tried it, and the meat of this horned dragon was indeed tough and firm, just to his liking. Moreover, it was big enough, unlike ordinary cattle and sheep, which were only enough to fill his teeth.

Chapter 378 Take a piss before leaving

The low intelligence of the white dragon makes its fighting style more like that of a wild beast, making it more savage and ferocious than a normal dragon.

Milt was just like that at that moment, his massive body crashing into the swarm of sava fish like a tiger among sheep, slaughtering them at will.

The frequent claw strikes and tail whips are interspersed with numerous bites; the large mouth with its sharp beak can bite off half of the Shahua fishman's body with just a simple opening and closing.

Milt didn't spit out the fishman corpse in his mouth, but instead chewed it a couple of times and swallowed it directly.

Creatures with extremely strong digestive abilities, such as dragons, ogres, and trolls, can often restore their strength by directly devouring the flesh and blood of their enemies during battle.

The vast majority of the five-colored dragons and evil dragons will use this method in battle.

The energy contained in the flesh and blood of a single Shahua fishman is not much, but their sheer number, along with the accompanying sea beasts, makes up for it.

By constantly eating, Milt's endurance can be greatly extended, as if he never gets tired. Moreover, as a true dragon, the White Dragon's innate dragon might has a great restraining effect on the Shahua fish-men, who are lower-level creatures.

Seeing his men suffer heavy casualties, including some of the four-armed nobles, the King of the Sawa Fishmen could no longer restrain himself.

With his over three-meter-tall body, Aisilstokar leaped from the throne built of giant seashells, wielding the Tide-Sweeping Trident, and charged straight at the rampaging white dragon.

The priests of the Giant Shark Temple also came out in full force, blowing their horns continuously, sending high-frequency sound waves rapidly through the water, summoning more sharks and sea monsters.

The next moment, the trident in Ashistor's hand, carrying an undercurrent, slammed heavily onto Milt's head.

The immense force caused the white dragon's head to tilt involuntarily to one side, shattering the ice crystals that had formed on its head and revealing large patches of snow-white scales beneath.

But that's all. The challenge level of ordinary Sawa fishmen is less than one, and the four-armed nobles are only around three to five.

As the king who unified all the Shahua fishmen along the coast of the Sword Sea, Ashirstok can reach a challenge level of around 10.

If this were placed in the outside world, it would already be considered a powerful figure, but compared to the true dragon at the top of the food chain, it is ultimately still somewhat inferior.

Adult white dragons generally have a challenge level of 10 or higher. Milt, as an individual enhanced by the curse of the mad dragon, can even reach a challenge level of 15, comparable to an ordinary darkin.

Moreover, the White Dragon ranks last among the five-colored dragons, mainly due to its low intelligence and insufficient size.

Once these two weaknesses are overcome, its bear-like physique will likely make it one of the best among true dragons in hand-to-hand combat.

Aysirstok's attack caused a fierce glint to flash in Milt's frosty white eyes.

Although he was almost at the bottom among the dragons of Doomsday Volcano, he was still someone that these lowly minions could not offend in the outside world.

Its ferocious maw opened wide, revealing wisps of blood clinging to its icicle-like fangs.

The magic power within his body surged into his upper stomach through his basal blood vessels, mixing with a unique supercooling fluid, and transformed into a chilling blast of air that spewed from his throat.

The breath that should have turned into frost and snow storms was transformed into a turbulent cold current due to the influence of the sea.

A fan-shaped ice cone grew out of Milt's mouth and instantly froze Ashistoka, who couldn't dodge in time.

The terrifying chill continued to erode the body of the fish-man king, making it feel as if its blood was about to freeze, its whole body stiff, and it had no strength to resist.

The other Sawa fishmen and ferocious giant sharks who were accompanying them wanted to rush forward to help, but they were blocked by a large number of black and white dragon vein kobolds.

With a flick of its tail, Milt sent out its swollen, keratinous scales flying like a hammer blow.

The fan-shaped ice cone, tens of meters long, shattered instantly. His ferocious head shot forward, and with a fierce bite, he seized the shards of ice encasing Ashirstok.

With powerful jaw muscles, the hard fangs bit through the ice and pierced deep into the armor-like scales of the King of the Sandfish, tearing through muscle and bone with a crisp cracking sound.

In just one brief encounter, this creature, which had reigned supreme in the ocean for a century, perished in the mouth of the white dragon.

This is the helplessness of lower beings: even with outstanding talent, great ambition, and countless efforts, they are still insignificant in the eyes of true powerhouses.

Sometimes, the ceiling for many races is so high that they can't even reach the floor for others.

The death of Ashistoka undoubtedly threw the remaining Sawa fishmen into chaos. Some charged forward with momentum, while many more scattered and fled.

Creatures like them don't have the idea of ​​fighting to the death or sharing a common enemy. Their survival instinct is to try every means to escape when things go wrong.

After all, given the reproductive capacity of the Shahua fishmen, as long as a few manage to escape, the population can be restored quickly.

If they choose to fight to the death and are too stubborn, they could really become extinct.

In the blink of an eye, most of the Shahua merfolk in the cave city had fled, leaving only the priests of Serkora still fighting to the death.

After all, the temple of the God of Giant Sharks was right behind them; where could they possibly escape to? In this world where gods truly exist, betrayal only leads to a fate more terrible than death.

And what awaits them is, of course, utter destruction.

After some time, this once prosperous cave city, the capital of the Shahua fishmen, could no longer be seen with a single living fishman.

Even so, Serco's avatar still did not appear, nor did the dragon turtle that attacked the ship earlier show its face.

Milt, who wasn't particularly intelligent, gnawed off most of Ashistoka's corpse, leaving only the head to take back as a token of his mission.

Soon, he and the dragon-blooded kobolds swept through the area, stringing together their spoils and the corpses of the slain sala fishmen with long seaweed and swimming towards the sea.

Upon hearing the news of the victory, the sailors who remained on the ship showed no joy.

Because they knew that the main purpose of this trip was to lure out the avatar of Serkora, and that merely eliminating a group of Shahua fishmen was not enough to achieve their goal.

So what should we do next? Should we just go back and report?

After some discussion and struggle, a fierce look suddenly appeared on everyone's faces.

Another white-scaled dragon-blooded kobold was unfortunately chosen by the lottery, jumped into the water, and dived thousands of meters deep into the seabed, entering the towering and majestic shark temple.

Looking at the enormous statue of Serkola, a deep fear appeared on its face, but for some reason, it still had to muster its courage and swim up to the top of the statue, sprinkling a trickle of warm water.

Chapter 379 Catching Fish in the Deep Sea

An insult, an utter insult! To have one's own sacred image defiled by the urine of a lowly kobold would enrage even the most cautious deity.

A hazy crimson light appeared on the giant shark statue, instantly staining the entire sea surrounding the cave city like thick blood.

The primal, terrifying killing intent emanating from the beasts and gods rushed straight into the mind of the white-scaled dragon-blooded dog-headed man, as if an invisible hand was gripping its soul, about to drag it into the cold, deep sea to endure endless torment for millions of years.

When the entire seabed seemed to be soaked in blood, and a heavy stench of blood filled the air, the ships anchored on the surface had already frantically sailed towards the shore.

The numerous sailors and various creatures on the ship felt a wave of impending doom and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for their previous recklessness.

Milt flapped his wings and soared into the air, rushing towards the shore without regard for anything else. After all, the wrath of a god was something that a small white dragon like him could not withstand.

As the god of giant sharks raged, giant waves tens or even hundreds of meters high rose on the distant horizon.

The dark, dense seawater resembled a series of city walls, with large groups of sharks swimming and darting through it, crashing against the shore with each wave.
