Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

The other baby dragons paid no attention to any of this, as they were all choosing their own food and feasting.

A significant number of the early-arriving blue dragons had already buried their heads in the camels scorched by lightning, tearing at the delicious flesh.

The blue dragons surrounding Thor looked warily at the raging flames in his throat, realizing that even with their numbers, they would likely be injured, and ultimately could only silently choose to give up.

'I'll let you be arrogant for a few days.'

Just you wait, your time will come.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Red Dragon Fears Nothing!

Watching the blue dragon whelp depart, Thor couldn't help but smile smugly.

Among most dragons, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is almost ingrained in their nature—the more one yields, the more easily one is bullied. Only by constantly demonstrating one's strength can one earn their respect, or rather—their fear.

He glanced again at the essence balance below the giant wheel in his mind and found that he had gained 2 more points in just a short while.

Including the average of 3 points accumulated each day over the previous 4 days, after deducting the points spent on exchanging Dragon Crystals and Burning Coal, I still have a little over 11 points left. At this rate, I should be able to accumulate 100 essence points within a month and draw a low-level monster template.

As Thor mentally planned his future, he swallowed most of the flames surging in his throat, only spitting out the remaining small amount slowly towards the giant horned bull beneath him.

The high temperature scorched the hide and hair, emitting a burnt smell of protein.

But to the Red Dragon's unique sense of smell, the smell was like the rich aroma of roasted meat after the Maillard reaction, instantly arousing his strong appetite.

This enormous creature weighed at least one or two tons, and even with Thor's appetite, there was absolutely no way he could finish it in one go.

He tore off large chunks of beef and swallowed them whole without chewing. His elastic stomach and belly quickly swelled up, like a red ball was stuffed inside.

Before long, he felt he couldn't eat anymore, but there was still more than half of the giant horned beef left.

He glanced sideways at Sistana and Kalp, who were standing to the side watching him eat, and then stretched out his sharp claws, tearing off two large pieces of beef and throwing them over.

Then, his gaze shifted to the other young dragons around him, and he found that most of them had already eaten their fill and finished feeding. But some had not managed to get enough food and were still hungry.

The vast majority of these are white dragons. Due to their low intelligence and racial limitations, their challenge level during their hatchling stage is only 2, while other blue, black, and green dragons are at 3, and red dragons can even reach an astonishing 4.

This results in the vast majority of white dragon hatchlings being unable to compete with hatchlings of other colors and being forced to scavenge the scraps left behind by them.

The scarcity of food slows down physical development, causing the growth of strength to lag behind that of other young dragons, thus creating a vicious cycle.

Thor took a closer look at the white dragons that he had previously overlooked.

They are about four meters long, with a sturdy and robust body covered with needle-like white scales. They have a large head with a horn-like crown on top, made of interlocking bone plates and scales that extends backward like a knife.

In fact, among all the five-colored dragons, the white dragon's appearance is most similar to that of the red dragon, but their colors and attributes are completely different, which leads to a world of difference in their strength.

Looking at the old and new scars on these white dragon cubs, and the ribs faintly visible on their abdomens, one can tell that they are not living a happy life here.

After all, they were originally creatures suited to living in polar glaciers, but they were forcibly abducted to this hot Gobi desert. Coupled with the suppression by other young dragons, how could their lives be easy?

…………

"These idiots probably don't provide much more spiritual essence than the boar-men, how pathetic!"

Thor stretched out his claws again, tore off a large chunk of beef from the remaining carcass of the giant horned bull, and threw it at the weakest of the white dragons.

The white dragon first took a step back warily, but then couldn't resist the temptation, quickly rushed forward, snatched the beef, and ran away.

It looked just like a wildcat, which made Thor burst into laughter.

"Interesting! Very interesting! You idiots want to fill your stomachs? Then let the great Thor grant your wishes, aha! ha! ha!"

His wild laughter still echoed in the air as his entire body transformed into a leaping ball of flame, fiercely lunging at the blue dragons that had previously surrounded him.

"You blue reptiles, weren't you making quite a racket before? Well, let me see what gives you the courage to bark so loudly in front of me!"

A blue dragon that was eating was caught off guard and was knocked away, rolling around five or six times before coming to a stop.

Thor, however, had already grabbed the half-eaten camel leg he hadn't finished eating, and with a forceful flick, tossed it to the white dragon who was waiting outside to eat the leftovers.

These white-scaled creatures, though not very intelligent, possessed a wild, cunning nature. One of them lunged forward in an instant, snatched a camel's leg, and charged toward the nearby oasis.

"Damn it, what are you doing?!"

The furious roar of the blue dragon that had lost its food came from behind, but Thor ignored it and turned to pounce on another blue dragon that had once surrounded him.

Two monsters, each over five meters long and resembling adult horses, collided with a deafening roar, tumbling and wrestling together.

Seeing this, the white dragons waiting outside became eager to try, and their hunger emboldened them.

Before the previous blue dragon could charge, Thor bent his strong hind legs and kicked outwards, striking the blue dragon he was fighting in the belly, sending it flying more than three meters away.

Having managed to escape, Thor didn't rush to leave. Instead, he took a deep breath, flapped his large wings rapidly, and charged at high speed towards the blue dragon horde that had gathered in another direction.

The basal blood vessels in his body began to function, and the large intake of dragon crystals and burning coals made Thor's magic power far greater than that of red dragons of the same age. It poured into his upper stomach and was suddenly expelled through his throat.

Flames surged forth from his gaping mouth like a tidal wave, initially just a thin wisp, but in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a massive fire cone, several meters long and three or four meters wide.

The blue dragons, gathered together, never expected Thor to unleash such a terrifying breath. Unable to dodge in time, they were all engulfed by the flames.

As Thor charged forward at high speed, a long river of fire was left in the ground.

Roars and screams rang out one after another. The blue dragon hatchling, covered in dragon breath, tumbled and rolled on the ground, finally managing to extinguish the flames on its body with the help of the sand.

Looking at their bodies again, the scales that were once as smooth as sapphires had turned charred black, and some had even cracked, causing them to scream in pain.

"Damn red dragon, I'll kill you!"

"You asked for this, so don't blame us for ganging up on you!"

"Don't let him get away! Catch him! Break his wings and knock his teeth out one by one!"

An angry roar echoed across most of the oasis, and the blue dragons flapped their wings and soared into the sky, relentlessly pursuing Thor in the air.

As he watched the increasing notifications for his essence appear in his eyes, Thor couldn't help but smirk.

His wings, far larger than those of an ordinary red dragon, flapped, providing him with powerful propulsion. The intricate wing bones and muscle fascia on his wings also allowed him to perform difficult flight maneuvers like a bat.

A blue dragon with a charred face and red eyes rushed towards Thor, but the moment they made contact, the red dragon in front of him twisted its body strangely and instantly appeared above him.

Immediately, Thor's long, powerful tail lashed down like a steel whip, striking the blue dragon hard on the base of its wing. The intense pain caused the dragon to lose its balance and fall headfirst.

"The Red Dragon fears nothing!! Let you blue cowards see what true power is!!"

Chapter Forty: Standing Firm

Is the red dragon truly fearless? The answer is clearly no! Otherwise, why would Thor have had to hide and run around in the days immediately after his birth?

He was simply certain that these blue dragons wouldn't dare to really kill him, which is why he acted without any restraint.

Red and blue baby dragons soared in the sky, their postures like fierce birds of prey, and they would occasionally collide violently.

With his more agile flight, Thor always managed to gain the upper hand, shooting down one blue dragon hatchling after another from mid-air, while also leaving himself with many gruesome wounds.

Taking advantage of the lull in their fighting, the restless white dragons swarmed towards the food they hadn't finished eating, wolfing it down like hungry ghosts reincarnated.

…………

As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Even though Thor is much stronger than the red dragons of the same age, he inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position when facing a large number of blue dragons that were a year older than him.

As he collided violently with one of the blue dragon hatchlings once again, the remaining three blue dragons surrounded him from all directions, their chests and bellies bulging high, and blinding lightning flashing from their open throats.

"Damn red dragon, let's show you what we're made of!"

Three dazzling bolts of lightning shot out from their mouths, accompanied by deafening thunder and the pungent smell of ozone emanating from the scorched air.

The Blue Dragon's breath attack is the longest-range and fastest of all five dragons, giving its opponents absolutely no chance to dodge.

By the time Thor realized what was happening, the lightning, spreading like tree branches, was already right in front of him. He only had time to wrap his large wings around himself before he was instantly enveloped in the lightning.

Large patches of scarlet scales exploded outwards, dragon blood splattered out, and intense pain followed immediately.

Thanks to the red dragon's stronger elemental resistance compared to the other five chromatic dragons, Thor managed to avoid being stunned by the electric shock, but his muscles were still paralyzed and stiffened, causing him to fall uncontrollably downwards.

"Sol, watch out!"

"Damn blue lizards, they only know how to gang up on the few!"

Just as he was bracing for a violent impact, out of the corner of his eye, he saw two red shadows hurtling toward him at high speed.

Sistana and Culp flapped their wings with all their might and managed to grab Thor's body before he hit the ground. Although they failed to stop him and were instead carried to the ground by the huge impact, they undoubtedly greatly reduced the force of the impact Thor would have to endure.

boom!!

A heavy impact rang out, sending yellow earth and dust flying everywhere.

Thor winced in pain, and a sense of surprise rose in his heart as he looked at Sistana and Calp, who had fallen to the side.

Although his two blood relatives were foolish and weak, they unexpectedly showed some of the Red Dragon's spirit at the crucial moment.

"Finally, we took that damn guy down!"

"Two more red dragons have arrived!"

"They're just two fledgling dragons, no need to pay them any mind."

Three blue dragons roared excitedly from the sky. They folded their broad wings and began to swoop down in pursuit of their victory.

Thor shook his slightly dizzy head, feeling a dull ache in his left wing. The wing bone inside must have been broken, and he probably wouldn't be able to fly for a while.

Facing the three blue dragon cubs that had fallen from the sky, he showed no fear whatsoever. Large amounts of smoke billowed from his open mouth, spreading outwards like mercury.

"I'm a little surprised that you two idiots dared to come and help. I'll deal with the strongest one later, you two hold off the other two."

Sistana and Kalp, their backs hunched in tension, their scarlet scales bursting open, instinctively retorted upon hearing this.

"Damn it! Who wants to help you? I'm just upholding the honor of the Red Dragon!"

"You idiot, don't take yourself too seriously."

Thor blinked dismissively, using the nictitating membrane outside his eyeball to scrape away the bloodstains and dust from his pupil.

He thought he was in for a beating, but with the help of these two blood relatives, things might turn out differently.

From the very beginning, he never expected to get along peacefully with these young dragons, nor did he ever think of developing his power in a low-key and stealthy manner.

Since he's not going to die anyway, why should he avoid the opponent's sharp edge?

It would be better to make a scene, to fight back with one punch to avoid being hit a hundred times. This way, one can demonstrate one's strength and gain more spiritual essence.

The three blue dragon cubs, which were swooping down, stopped abruptly as they looked at the smoke surrounding Thor, their eyes filled with apprehension.

They hadn't forgotten how Zephyr had been blown away before. If they plunged headfirst into the smoke, that despicable red dragon might take the opportunity to set it on fire, which would be dangerous.

When Thor saw them stop, a sinister smile immediately appeared on his lips as he seized every opportunity to mock them.

"Blue coward, why dare you step forward? Are you afraid of me?"

The blue dragon cubs hovering in mid-air could not stand his arrogant attitude. One of them, enduring the emptiness in its body, opened its mouth again and spat out a winding, linear bolt of lightning.

The pervasive gas met the blue and white lightning and burst into flames with a loud "boom," with raging flames rising like mushrooms and shockwaves kicking up clouds of dust.

A scorching hot wind blew in their faces, making the three blue dragons sway slightly, but they still let out mocking growls.

"It's just a trivial trick. Let's see how arrogant you can be now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ferocious red figure suddenly rushed out from the smoke and dust kicked up by the explosion below.

Thor struggled to flap his injured wings, leaving trails of blood in his wake, and managed to fly up from the ground, heading straight for the largest blue dragon cub.

The blue dragon cub had no idea that the other party would dare to retaliate. It was immediately slammed into the body, and Thor's red-scaled claws gripped its body firmly. Thor's fangs opened wide and bit straight at the cub's long neck.

A flicker of panic crossed the blue dragon's eyes, quickly replaced by ferocity. It too brandished its claws and launched a fierce counterattack.

Red and blue scales flew everywhere, and dragon blood splattered incessantly. The next moment, the two young dragons fell from mid-air and crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.

Even so, they did not separate, and fought each other almost frantically, rolling around on the desolate dirt and sand, leaving bloodstains in their wake.

"Verex!"

"Damn it! We're here to help you!"

The sudden turn of events startled the remaining two blue dragon cubs for a moment; they flapped their wings, trying to join the battle.

However, two scarlet figures suddenly appeared from the side. Sistana and Kalp suppressed their fear and stood in front of the two blue dragon hatchlings, roaring loudly.
