Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

Sparrowstone is a widely used metallic ore in the Monster Hunter world. Its hardness and toughness far exceed that of steel, and its price is the same as that of Dragon Crystal, with one point of essence costing one kilogram.

Huilong stone is much more expensive, costing a full three points per kilogram.

A wave-like pattern appeared in the air, and various colored crystals quickly appeared on Thor's claws, which he then stuffed into his mouth one by one.

After being digested in the stomach, the energy inside promotes the body's growth, while the unique metallic components are used to strengthen scales and bones.

Thor used the remaining ten essences to spin the outermost wheel to unlock more redemption items.

Neon-like lights flashed by, and after they stopped one by one, a large number of prompts appeared.

Thor glanced at the items and found that most of them were useless. The only three that were valuable were [Cloud-Gathering Wood Branch], [Spirit Crane Stone], and [Dragon Slayer Fruit].

The first two are a high-quality wood with extremely high hardness and toughness, and a metal ore that is even better than the Swallowstone. But what really caught Thor's attention was the Dragon Slayer Fruit.

After clicking to withdraw the money with their mind, a thick tree branch, half a meter in diameter and more than three meters long, a football-sized piece of silver-purple mineral with iridescent light, and a small clump of blackish-red berries covered with fine hairs and thorns emerged from mid-air.

Thor used his claws to push the branches of the Cloud Tree aside, picked up the Spirit Crane Stone next to him, and took a big bite out of it.

A crisp metallic clang rang out instantly, and after the intense pain, a sour feeling immediately rose in my gums.

With his dragon teeth, which were comparable to magical weapons, he didn't leave any obvious marks on this Spirit Crane Stone.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a rare and precious mineral, as rare and hard to find as a crane. After forging, the finished metal is as light and tough as a crane's feather.

Fortunately, dragons' jaws can open as wide as snakes', and their throats are as elastic as rubber. Since he couldn't bite them, Thor simply swallowed them whole, letting the stomach acid and elemental energy slowly dissolve them.

After dealing with the Spirit Crane Stone, his gaze fell on the last Dragon Killing Fruit.

Legend has it that this peculiar plant evolved from fighting against dragons since ancient times. Its sap is full of rich dragon-attribute energy and potent poison, which can suppress and kill dragons in the Monster Hunter world.

Although I am also a dragon, I am a red dragon from another world. So, shall I give it a try?

Chapter Seventy-Nine: All Disloyal Ones Must Die

There were exactly twenty-six Dragon Killer Fruits in the clump in front of Thor.

He raised his paw, plucked one from the pile, and brought it close to his nose to sniff it. A strong, pungent odor hit him, instantly filling him with a powerful sense of disgust.

Does this thing also have a restraining effect on red dragons from another world? Is it because I also possess so-called dragon-attribute energy within myself, or am I simply averse to this smell?

Saul decided to try one more step.

It's important to know that in the world of Monster Hunter, dragon elemental energy is practically synonymous with powerful monsters, and it possesses the formidable power to suppress other natural elements.

With a slight exertion of his claws, he easily pierced the skin of the Dragon Killing Fruit, and a drop of dark red, viscous juice immediately gushed out.

The stench in the air that disgusted him grew stronger, but Saul still forced himself to endure the discomfort and licked the drop of juice into his mouth.

A faint bitter taste spreads across the tip of the tongue, accompanied by a burning sensation similar to that experienced when eating chili peppers.

Perhaps the dosage was too small; apart from that, there were no other noticeable changes.

So Thor thought for a moment, then opened his mouth wide and swallowed the Dragon Slayer Fruit he was holding in his claws.

In the world of Monster Hunter, if an ordinary monster accidentally eats a Dragon Slayer Fruit, even if it suffers various negative effects, as long as the amount ingested is not large, it will not cause serious injury or even death.

As a red dragon from another world, and a purified individual at that, with his extraordinary physique, eating one or two of these shouldn't pose any major problems.

Time ticked by, and just when Thor thought the thing had no effect on him, his magic suddenly became abnormal.

The magic that had been flowing quietly began to ripple, and some of it even escaped uncontrollably from the body, turning into colorful specks of light that dissipated into the cave.

The blood flow in my body kept accelerating, and my muscles and bones felt a faint burning sensation. The nerves in my head were throbbing, as if something was constantly pulsating inside.

Thor shook his grotesque head uncomfortably, but thankfully the discomfort didn't last long; he recovered in about a minute.

He carefully examined his current physical condition and found that apart from a loss of some magic power, everything else seemed the same as before.

However, Thor didn't expect to gain dragon attribute energy with just one Dragon Slayer Fruit. This attempt was just something he happened to draw and wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

He glanced at the remaining twenty-odd Dragon Killing Fruits and decided not to eat any more.

He then tapped the giant turntable in his mind with his consciousness, and a deep blue, cold-looking ore appeared in his claw.

These are the ice crystals we extracted earlier, which are perfect for preserving these Dragon Killing Fruits. After some time, once we've confirmed there are absolutely no negative effects, we'll proceed with further trials.

A true dragon spends most of its life in slumber. Although Thor has more energy thanks to the various monster templates he possesses, he still retains the habit of taking a short nap every day.

When I woke up, it was already bright daylight. The bright sunlight shone in from outside the cave, leaving bright beams of light in the air due to the Tyndall effect.

Thor climbed up from the platform, stretched vigorously, and the scales on his body collided with each other, producing a crisp metallic clanging sound.

The minerals he ate yesterday have been completely digested and absorbed by his body, and now the bright red scales on his body seem to have deepened in color.

The scales on the chest, back, outer sides of the limbs, and back of the wings are showing signs of growing larger and merging together.

Seeing that it was getting late, he crawled out of the cave, flapped his wings, and flew towards the canyon where the gnolls and goblins had fought the day before.

While suspended in mid-air, thanks to the dragon's excellent eyesight, he spotted the group of furry figures in the canyon from a great distance.

The origins of the gnolls are said to date back to ancient times.

At that time, the demon lord Yenogu broke through the dimensional barrier and came to the prime material plane, where he carried out indiscriminate slaughter.

At that moment, a pack of ordinary hyenas followed him, feeding on the remains of his carnage. Eventually, they were completely distorted by the energy of the abyss and transformed into the gnolls they are today.

Therefore, they are both as cruel and bloodthirsty as demons, and also have the nature of hyenas, regarding obedience to the strong and bullying the weak as equally natural.

A red dragon, a red dragon that can instantly kill hundreds of creatures with its breath, is, to these guys, the strongest being they can imagine, apart from the legendary gods.

For them, submission to him was not a humiliation, but rather, to some extent, an honor.

As Thor's outstretched wings cast a deathly shadow on the ground, more than fifty gnolls immediately prostrated themselves in reverence.

Among them, besides those who survived yesterday, there were some cubs, but no elderly individuals—ordinary gnolls simply don't live that long.

Thor looked down at the group of furry hyena heads. As he had instructed yesterday, most of the gnolls had been cleaned of filth and blood, but they still emitted a faint stench.

In this wild, hilly region, water is undoubtedly a precious resource, and there certainly isn't enough water for them to bathe. Presumably, they clean their fur by licking it.

Upon seeing Thor's massive figure, gleaming with a crimson metallic sheen, land on a protruding boulder on the side of the canyon, the gnolls lying on the ground immediately let out a strange cry that was both crying and laughing, scratching their palms with their fingernails and leaving a bright red claw mark on their hearts.

"Welcome, great Red Dragon!"

"I pledge my loyalty to the great Red Dragon!"

The dragon heritage in his mind made Thor understand that this act of pressing a claw mark on the chest was a unique oath by gnolls to express loyalty, signifying that his heart had already been given to the object of his loyalty.

A series of prompts indicating the addition of essential points flashed past below his line of sight, a sensible gesture that made Thor feel a surge of pleasure.

This is also one of the benefits of being a red dragon. As the strongest of the colorful dragons, it naturally attracts a large number of evil creatures to come and join it.

However, Thor's good mood didn't last long, because he didn't see a single goblin in the canyon below.

These lowly green dwarfs dared to disobey his orders! Regardless of any other reasons behind it, they must pay a heavy price!

Now, let's wipe them all out, and in doing so, announce to other creatures the arrival of the true ruler of this mountain range!

Chapter 80 Bear Goblin

Thor stood upright on the jagged rock, facing the gnolls below, and spread his enormous wings wide.

The scorching sunlight poured down on him, making his red scales look like a branding iron that had been heated to a bright red, with a faint iridescent halo around the edges.

The magical blood surged at high speed through the large blood vessels inside the wing membrane, causing bright streams of light to penetrate the skin and intertwine into strange patterns resembling rising flames, flickering on the surface of the body.

"My name is Thor Heliozog Ethermog... the eldest son of the great Dragon Mother Tiamat, the chosen dragon destined to conquer all living beings in the world."

It is a pleasure to meet you here. Surrendering to me will be the wisest decision you will ever make in your life.

Unfortunately, not all creatures are as intelligent as you. Those damned green-skinned bastards dared to refuse my gift!

"Now, take me there immediately and burn them all to ashes!!"

The enormous sound waves echoed and swirled through the canyon, making the gnolls below buzz and almost unable to think.

Upon hearing Thor's command, these inherently ferocious and bloodthirsty evil creatures immediately let out an excited roar, their voices filled with an irrepressible desire.

They had long harbored resentment towards those land creatures, and countless frictions and conflicts had occurred between them. Now, they were overjoyed to be able to take revenge with the help of the red dragon.

Moreover, where there is fighting, there will inevitably be death, and all the corpses will become food to fill their stomachs—whether they are goblins or gnolls, as long as they survive, they will surely have a full meal, which is an irresistible temptation for them.

A chaotic group of gnolls charged forward, their tongues lolling out of their mouths and foul-smelling saliva dripping from their lips.

Because of their natural hunchbacks, these creatures appear much shorter than their actual height, and sometimes they even run on all fours, looking like a hyena magnified several times.

The goblin's lair wasn't far from here. Thor followed the gnolls over several low mountains in the sky, and soon at the foot of a mountain, he saw some hidden caves, which were the goblins' dwelling place.

Some goblins, their bodies tattered, were lazily lying on the ground basking in the sun. Their small, red eyes gleamed with cunning, constantly on guard against attacks from their companions, while also waiting for an opportunity to ambush their unsuspecting kin.

Because of their extraordinary reproductive ability, these goblins see their kind as constantly being born in their nests, while the food they plunder from the outside is always limited.

Limited food supplies must be met with an ever-increasing number of companions, which makes them all competitors for survival. They must always be on guard and dare not relax their vigilance in the slightest.

Several goblins sitting high up suddenly caught a glimpse of the rapidly approaching dragon shadow in the distance. They shuddered and sprang to their feet, their faces filled with terror.

Their naturally extreme personalities make them not only prone to anger, but also easily happy, and even overly optimistic.

As soon as they gain the slightest advantage in any area, they become complacent and often misjudge the situation, foolishly choosing to provoke enemies far stronger than themselves.

After Thor let these goblins go, they didn't think that their survival was due to his mercy; instead, they believed that they had managed to escape by sheer cleverness.

As for Thor's instruction to return to the same spot and wait the next day, they immediately forgot about it and didn't take it to heart at all.

Seeing the dragon approaching from afar, the goblins finally began to feel fear, and their previous sense of luck and smugness vanished.

"The red dragon is coming! The red dragon is coming!"

"Run! Run away!"

"Your Majesty, save me! Your Majesty, save me!"

The squeaking and screeching soon echoed throughout the foot of the mountain, and the goblins scattered in panic like headless flies, creating a chaotic scene.

Thor landed on a neighboring hilltop, a sinister smile spreading across his face as he looked at the bastards who dared to disobey his orders.

The magic within him surged wildly into his throat, and the next second, a dazzling flash of light erupted from his mouth.

The highly condensed fire element was compressed into scorching rays that traveled hundreds of meters and landed precisely among the goblins.

The two unlucky goblins were hit head-on by the ray, and their bodies were instantly burned and blasted open with holes the size of large bowls. They died on the spot without even uttering a sound.

As Thor shook his head, the orange-red light, like a divine sword of punishment, crisscrossed the entire goblin race, constantly slicing through the bodies of goblins and leaving behind spiderweb-like burn marks on the ground.

Such a terrifying breath directly shattered all the goblins' will to resist. They wished they could grow two more legs to escape, and dared not have the slightest thought of resistance.

After one round of breath attacks, the gnolls below surged into the goblin's lair area like a tide.

These humanoid hyenas, some brownish-yellow and others grayish-brown, had bloodthirsty glints in their eyes and emitted eerie cries that sounded like both crying and laughing, sending chills down one's spine.

Bloodlust and excitement stimulated the demonic bloodline within them, and faint magical fluctuations emanated from their bodies, causing a barely perceptible black aura to swirl around their skin. Their eyes shone with a terrifying gaze that could instill fear in any living being.

The goblins, already terrified, were like lambs to the slaughter in front of them, their throats constantly being bitten or their bellies ripped open by the gnolls, turning them into corpses on the ground.

After unleashing a burst of heat rays, Thor stopped fighting and instead sat on the hilltop, watching with great interest as his newly subdued followers slaughtered each other.

He noticed that after bathing in the blood of their prey, these gnolls seemed to have increased strength and speed, as if they had been subjected to a group bloodlust spell.

As creations of the abyssal demon Yenogu, almost all gnolls share a conceptual connection with him.

Any act of killing will be defined as a prayer to him, and the souls and fears of the enemy will be offered as sacrifices in exchange for the blessing of his domain.

This was supposed to be the established rule, but at this moment, Thor discovered that the souls and fears that should have been sacrificed to Yenogu had been quietly intercepted by him and transformed into streaks of essence flashing below his vision to provide additional clues.

The goblins at the foot of the mountain were quickly slaughtered by the gnolls. Still not satisfied, the gnolls licked the blood from their lips and began to spontaneously gather towards the caves, wanting to search for more prey.

One of the jackals, with its tan fur, pounced on the largest cave ahead of everyone else, quickly disappearing into the darkness deep within.

Not long after, a fierce fighting suddenly came from the cave, accompanied by the muffled thuds of heavy objects hitting each other, violent roars, and the agonizing cries of the dying.

This sudden turn of events immediately alerted the other gnolls, who all stopped in their tracks and fixed their gazes on the entrance to the cave.

Under the watchful eyes of many, heavy footsteps echoed from the cave, growing ever closer, until a massive figure covered in coarse hair emerged from the wide cavern.

It is over 2.5 meters tall and weighs over 200 kilograms. It has a bear-like face and huge claws, and looks just like a black and green polar bear standing upright.
