Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

Adult winter wolves generally have an intelligence of around 7 points and are born knowing Common Language, Giant Language, and Winter Wolf Language, enabling them to communicate without barriers with most of the native inhabitants of the glacier.

Some larger packs of winter wolves will even attack human settlements under glaciers and abduct newborn babies.

They do this not for food, but to raise these infants as members of their tribe. When the infants grow up, they can use their dexterous hands and human appearance to help the tribe set traps or trade with humans.

That's right. These winter wolves will actively seek out humans or frost giant tribes to trade, exchanging the pelts of their prey for raw meat, as well as scarce resources in the glacier such as salt, iron, rope, and healing ointments.

With their impressive strength and superior survival strategies, the Winter Wolves have successfully secured a high ecological niche in the Endless Glacier, with only a few creatures such as Yetis and White Dragons as their sole competitors.

Therefore, if one wants to find traces of the White Dragon in the vast and endless glacier, perhaps only these winter wolves, who also live in the glacier, have a keen sense of smell, and have fought with the White Dragon for generations, can do it.

…………

The highland barbarian in the adventure party was clearly already acquainted with the Winterwolf clan before him. To the astonishment of his companions, he quickly negotiated terms with the Winterwolves.

With another long howl, a winter wolf of unusually small size ran out of the ravine.

As creatures with a strict hierarchy, each winter wolf pack has a member known as the "dwarf".

The "dwarf" is responsible for the most dangerous tasks. He can only eat leftovers after all the other members have finished eating, and he may also become the target of bullying and amusement by the other members of the tribe.

Although the White Dragon is considered the shame of the Five-Colored Dragons, it is still a true dragon. Especially those White Dragons that have already achieved reproductive ability, they can be considered the most elite hunters in the Endless Glacier.

Ordinary winter wolves are naturally unwilling to take the risk of provoking such a conflict, so they can only send out the "dwarf," the lowest-ranking member of the pack.

The adventurers didn't care about that; all they needed was for the winter wolf to lead them to the vicinity of the white dragon's lair. It didn't matter which winter wolf it was.

The group followed the small winter wolf and set off again, traversing vast snowfields and traversing treacherous glacial rift valleys. Half a month later, they finally saw a steep ice cliff.

Above the cliff is a huge ice cave, and scattered at the foot of the cliff are some leftover bones.

The dark blue ice wall was covered with deep claw marks, some of which had been buried and blurred by the wind and snow, while others were clearly made recently.

All signs indicate that this is indeed a white dragon's lair. The next step is to find a way to infiltrate it and successfully steal the dragon eggs.

Fortunately, for a dragon that isn't particularly intelligent, a simple diversionary tactic should work.

Young and newly adult white dragons rarely tame their subordinates; that's something only old and ancient dragons possess the intelligence to do.

Therefore, as long as they can lure the mother dragon away, all they will have to face are the intricate passages and some ice traps.

With a little magic, we should be able to deal with these.

Chapter 421 Five Consecutive Draws

The day after Thor gave the order, the first batch of dragon eggs was presented to him by his men.

As expected, these were all white dragon eggs. After all, among the five-colored dragons of the North, white dragons are the most numerous, and their eggs are relatively the easiest to obtain.

Compared to the depths of volcanoes hidden in towering mountains, primeval forests shrouded in poisonous fog, bottomless, putrid swamps, or vast deserts guarded by a multitude of creatures, the sheer cold seems less frightening.

Moreover, judging from the size and weight of these eggs, the vast majority of them came from young dragons.

Dragons of this age are like humans in their adolescence, with a strong desire to reproduce, but lacking the strength to build their own families and territories.

Often, they will only settle for any burrow they find when they are about to give birth.

This is why, although the five-colored dragons lay the most eggs in this age group, they are also the most vulnerable to theft and stillbirths, resulting in a less than ideal survival rate.

Speaking of which, Saul's stepmother is a typical example.

Given the rudimentary state of the cave where he was born, if an adventurer had sneaked in while the Dragon Mother was out hunting, none of his eggs would have survived.

…………

Thor looked at the insulated box his men had presented him, inside which lay five white dragon eggs.

They are nearly a meter long and almost half a meter wide, with a pure white opal luster, and a layer of fine ice crystal frost on the surface, faintly exuding a cold aura.

This is also a significant characteristic for identifying whether a white dragon egg is alive. Once the surface ice crystals melt, it means that the embryo inside has died, and its value will plummet.

Thor would naturally not incubate these dragon eggs on the Prime Material Plane.

After all, the appearance of a single alien dragon might not attract attention, but if they emerge in large numbers, even the gods might not be able to resist casting their gaze.

Once he infects these dragon eggs with the Mad Dragon Curse and implants pre-edited template information, whatever hatches will be completely different from ordinary five-colored dragons.

Instead, we should send them to the small plane we occupy. The ecosystem there is already taking shape, food is plentiful, and time flows much faster than in the Prime Material Plane, making it perfect for newly hatched dragons to grow.

At Thor's command, a dozen or so white-scaled dragon-blooded kobolds were summoned and followed him into the dimensional gate that resembled a golden vortex.

The tenfold difference in the flow of time means that while only a few years have passed outside, nearly a century has quietly passed here.

Thor's powerful senses allowed him to clearly perceive that this small plane had expanded slightly compared to before. The dense forests among the mountains were lush and green, the grass and trees on the plains undulated, and in the lakes and seas at the end of his sight, there were even fish leaping out of the water.

This is because all the water flows from the elemental plane of water. Although the passage that has been open all year round is restricted by magic and cannot accommodate too strong creatures, many weak natives have been washed in.

Thor's destination this time is the junction of the wind elemental passage and the water elemental passage—a glacier formed due to the lack of sunlight at the edge of the plane expansion.

As naturally magical creatures, the five-colored dragons require the nourishment of corresponding magical elements during their hatching: the red dragon needs fire and earth, the blue dragon needs wind and thunder, the green dragon needs twisted vitality and poison, the black dragon needs putrid acid, and the white dragon needs ice.

The more suitable the environment is for these conditions, the higher the chance of the dragon eggs hatching, and the stronger the hatchlings will be.

Thinking about this, Thor couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

As a red dragon, the best incubation environment should have been a lava pool filled with rubies and precious metals. However, what he saw when he was born was not rubies and precious metals, but even ordinary lava. There was only a simple fire pit. It was really irresponsible.

But this is actually quite normal.

A young red dragon is not qualified to occupy a volcano, and given its stingy nature, it is even less likely that it will part with its meager treasures.

To maintain a high-temperature environment for an extended period, collecting a pile of wood and unleashing a breath of dragon's breath is undoubtedly the simplest and least effortless method.

However, as a "dragon" that had been rained on, the great Red Emperor was willing to provide the best incubation environment even for his experimental subjects and slaves.

A cave was carved out of the glacier, its bottom covered with ice crystals containing the power of ice, as well as dragon crystals brimming with pure life energy.

Five white dragon eggs were placed inside. Thor flicked his finger, and a drop of almost solidified Dragon Curse fell. It would slowly release over the next few days, continuously transforming the white dragon eggs until they hatched.

The white-scaled dragon-blooded kobolds will stay here to take care of the dragon eggs.

However, it seems that I haven't drawn many ice-attribute monster templates, and I haven't drawn a single ancient dragon-level one.

Thor felt it was necessary to extract more monster templates in this area, otherwise the modification of these white dragon eggs would be difficult to complete.

So, should we try to get a few new Elder Dragon monster templates?

However, there aren't many Elder Dragons with the Ice attribute in the entire Monster Hunter world, and many of them are Elder Dragon level or higher. It's probably not that easy to pull one.

The enormous red dragon fell into deep thought until the image of a certain monster flashed through his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

There is a monster that is said to be the largest sea dragon in history. Its existence alone is enough to freeze an entire region in perpetual ice. However, it is not an ancient dragon and should be classified as a high-level monster.

There aren't many creatures at the level of advanced monster templates. The cost of drawing an Elder Dragon monster template once is enough to draw ten advanced templates, so theoretically you should be able to draw your target quite easily.

While pondering, Thor simply closed his eyes and focused his consciousness on the giant spinning wheel in his mind.

He poured in 10,000 points of essence without hesitation. The light flashed and eventually a blue-green icon appeared.

Congratulations on obtaining the [Dragon Slayer Monster Template]. Do you wish to withdraw immediately? Yes/No.

Thor wasn't discouraged by his first missed shot. After all, 10,000 essence points were nothing to him now, so he just kept trying.

Congratulations on obtaining the [Fortress Crab Monster Template]. Do you wish to withdraw immediately? Yes/No.

Congratulations on obtaining the [Ghost Tiger Dragon Monster Template]. Do you wish to withdraw immediately? Yes/No.

Congratulations on obtaining the [Spinosaurus Monster Template]. Do you wish to withdraw immediately? Yes/No.

Congratulations on winning...

On the fifth draw, a silver figure suddenly appeared before Thor.

It has a massive body that winds like a mountain peak, with scales arranged like a grid of blades, and its body is always shrouded in frost. It is the overlord of the Ice Mist Cliff - the Frozen Peak Dragon.

Chapter 422 Loading

The Frozen Blade Dragon, as the largest and perhaps strongest sea dragon monster, is over 45 meters long.

Its massive, winding body was covered with long, thin plates. Due to its high metallic content, these plates had a color that was a mixture of iron gray and bronze, and from a distance, they looked like rows of huge blade-shaped radiators.

This is a peculiar body structure called a "condensation shell," which can defy the laws of thermodynamics by directly absorbing and storing heat energy from the environment, thereby creating a wide range of low temperatures.

When the heat accumulated in its body reaches a certain level, the Frozen Dragon can release it all at once, causing a large-scale steam explosion.

Without a doubt, this is a powerful creature. Putting aside its special abilities, its enormous size alone is enough to deal with most opponents.

Looking at the white dragon among the five dragons, besides its low intelligence, what it lacks is its size, doesn't it?

If they were of similar size and intelligence, the White Dragon would definitely rank among the top of the five dragons in terms of melee combat ability alone.

If the Frozen Blade Dragon's ability to absorb and manipulate heat is added to its abilities, the White Dragon could even become immune to its weakness to fire to a certain extent, greatly enhancing its talents and making it a true lord of glaciers.

Some even believe that the Frozen Blade Dragon's strength surpasses that of most ordinary Elder Dragons, making it more than sufficient for combining with a White Dragon Egg for enhancement.

……

Thor opened his eyes, which were burning with molten gold light. He had no intention of returning to Mount Doom and directly clicked to withdraw his winnings in this small dimension.

The void rippled like water, and a biting cold wind suddenly rose from nowhere. The essence of the Frozen Blade Dragon, with its strong metallic texture, crawled out of the void.

Its body length of over 45 meters, though somewhat slender due to its sea dragon species, is still quite impressive even among true dragons.

Unfortunately, Thor is now much larger, measuring over 120 meters from head to tail, making this behemoth look like a tiny lizard.

With a slight inhale through his large nostrils, the frost-covered air, along with the essence of the Frozen Dragon, was drawn into his body, transforming into a familiar warm current that exploded within him and spread continuously to his limbs and bones.

These warm currents first seep into the muscles and bones, then flow to the scales on the skin's surface. Under the influence of magic, a peculiar substance condenses and forms, building a bridge that allows for rapid flow between ice and fire.

As a red dragon, Thor already possessed powerful control over fire elements and the ability to absorb high temperatures, and now he discovered that this talent had been enhanced once again.

The heat and fire element around his body were spontaneously flowing into his body, causing an imbalance in the elements and temperature in the environment, and white frost flowers were already appearing in the air.

If the absorption of fire element by a normal red dragon is "attracting," which can continuously increase the concentration of fire element in the surrounding area, then Thor's absorption is "plundering," forcibly draining the surrounding fire element without leaving a single drop.

He completely disregarded the surrounding heat and the concentration of fire elements, simply absorbing them all into his body.

The pure white ice crystals were spreading rapidly in all directions, and snowflakes were even falling from the sky. If left unchecked, half of the small plane would be plunged into a deep winter.

At this moment, Thor let out a long sigh of relief, exhaling a stream of cold air, while his entire body radiated the heat he had previously plundered, just like a bright sun.

Clearly, a mere Frozen Blade Dragon monster template is not enough to possess such power. What is truly powerful is the synergy between it and the power already present within Thor.

Therefore, the strength of some monster templates cannot be judged solely by their level. Often, their abilities may be limited by their own effort; a different user can produce drastically different results.

Thor glanced at the subtitles that appeared before his eyes.

The Frozen Blade Dragon monster template was successfully loaded. Items such as [Giant Body], [Powerful Tendons], and [Heat Storage Organs] have been converted into pure life force due to their outdated version compared to the main body.

The condenser shell has been retained.

Compared to Thor's current abilities, the Frozen Blade Dragon has no advantages in terms of size, strength, or heat storage capacity, except for its core heat absorption ability.

Then he looked at the other four monster templates he had drawn.

The Broken Dragon is a Brute Dragon monster with an average body length of about 15 meters, which is rather small compared to those monsters that are more than 20 meters long.

It has a bipedal body structure similar to that of tyrannosaurids, but its forelimbs are not degenerated to the point of being almost purely decorative like most members of the tyrannosaurid family. Instead, they are extremely well-developed, resembling two thick siege spikes.

To balance the weight of its upper body, the tail of the Brachydios had to be enlarged at the end, making it look like a hexagonal hammer.

Its forelimbs and cylindrical horns are covered with a large amount of green slime, which is actually a fungus unique to volcanic areas. Once subjected to a strong impact, it will cause a violent explosion.

This peculiar symbiotic relationship allowed the carapace of the wrathful dragon to withstand the test of explosions, and some peculiar minerals were incorporated into it under high temperature and pressure, gradually revealing a magnificent sapphire blue color.

This ability could allow access to fungal networks, enriching the fungal maniac's attack methods.

With a thought from Thor, the raging figure of the Shattered Dragon emerged from the void, wielding its forelimbs that resembled battering rams, and slammed them hard into his scales.

Another warm current surged forth, but it did not bring about significant changes to Thor's body. It merely enriched his bloodline genes, resulting in a barely perceptible improvement in his physical attributes.

…………

The fortified crab is a super-sized crab that carries the skull of an old mountain dragon. It is over 30 meters tall and, like the spider crab, has six extremely long walking legs and claws.

It's a pity this isn't the real thing, otherwise Thor would really like to try it and see what it would taste like to eat such a big crab.
