Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

This is a small pterosaur that is about four or five meters long and has a wingspan of six or seven meters. Its body is covered with scales that gradually change from dark blue to light green. It has a magnificent crest on its head and mainly inhabits ancient forests. It is an omnivorous small pterosaur.

Thinking about this, Thor couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because it was a rather ordinary creature, not much different from the pterosaurs in reality.

In the game, they are mostly either food for other monsters or they carry the game character across various maps.

Wait! Flying across different maps?

Thor's eyes suddenly lit up as he realized he had overlooked a crucial point.

An adult male hunter weighs at least 70 kilograms, and with his full-body armor and ridiculously large greatsword, his total weight would probably be between 200 and 300 kilograms.

However, such a small pterosaur as the Pteranodon could carry a fully armed hunter for dozens or even hundreds of kilometers, which shows how exaggerated its flight ability was.

If the extracted creature templates could also perform in the game, then...

Thor eagerly focused his attention on the lit icon and selected "Withdraw Now" without hesitation.

A hazy halo appeared out of nowhere, and within it, one could vaguely see the silhouette of a pterosaur soaring with outstretched wings.

It was like a shapeless spirit, its eyes, radiating white light, staring back at Thor's pale golden pupils.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. It felt like a very long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a short instant. Suddenly, the ball of light in front of them lunged forward and rushed into Thor's body.

It was like a surge of heat exploding inside his body, and at the same time, tiny subtitles kept flashing before Thor's eyes.

[The pterosaur template has been successfully loaded and is currently being merged.]

[Sharp teeth and claws, tough scales, omnivorous digestive system, dual respiratory organs...etc., compared to the main body, this version is too outdated and has been optimized into pure life energy.]

The strong wings have been preserved.

Flexible flight has been retained.

Please prepare enough food in the coming days to meet the needs of your body modification.

……

Thor felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, warm and cozy, especially the wings on his back, which were burning hot.

Fortunately, red dragons are born with extremely high fire resistance, and I've never heard of any dying from the heat. The higher the temperature, the more comfortable they feel.

The fawn he had just eaten had already been mostly digested, and the remaining small portion was completely digested in an instant by the surging heat.

The body continuously absorbs abundant nutrients and energy, and the wings on its back resemble two thirsty mouths, frantically gulping down energy.

Beneath the bright red scales, the muscle outlines on the wings gradually became clearer, and the wing metacarpals and wing phalanges were also gradually stretching.

Just a short while later, Saul felt a pang of hunger in his stomach.

The wings on his back had expanded, and the eagle bones and dragon ulna bones on his shoulder blades had become very thick, even surpassing the limbs below.

With a powerful flap of its wings, the tough membrane instantly billowed up a large amount of air, producing a muffled "bang".

A powerful reaction force propelled his body, causing him to fly up from the spot.

It's important to know that most dragons and birds need to push off the ground with their legs to gain enough lift in the initial stages before taking off, let alone fledglings whose wings are not yet fully developed.

Those who can take off from the spot are either exceptionally skilled in magic or extremely adept at flying.

Red dragons do not belong to either of these two categories. Although they have the largest wingspan among the colored dragons, they also have a first-class weight and are better at straight-line sprints and long-distance runs.

In terms of flying skills, the strongest of the five dragons is actually the black dragon, which is as thin as a skeleton.

Even without magic, they can hover in the air like hummingbirds, demonstrating superb flying skills.

……

"My current wingspan ratio has definitely surpassed that of most red dragons of the same size, and can be compared with those mutated individuals."

Thor excitedly flapped the wings on his back, trying to keep himself airborne in the cave.

These wings not only allow him to gain full flight ability earlier, but the ability to take off from the spot also allows him to get away from the ground more quickly and avoid sudden dangers.

Just for that alone, those ten points of spiritual essence were well spent. Moreover, judging from the subtitles that appeared, it seemed that even more abilities had been transformed into pure life force.

Is it those warm currents that keep your body feeling cozy? And what are their effects?

Unaware of the other changes, Thor soon succumbed to his hunger and, before dawn, burst out of the cave in a whirlwind.

The moment he flew out of the cave, the vast sky and earth filled him with a sense of liberation, and he unconsciously flapped his wings vigorously, climbing higher and higher into the sky.

Compared to before when he could only glide at a height of one or two hundred meters, he now felt as if his flight had no altitude limit and he could keep climbing upwards.

However, a cool night breeze blew by, instantly clearing his head, which had been feverish from excitement, and quickly brought it down.

Even though his flying ability has improved and his survival ability has been greatly enhanced, he is still far inferior to some ferocious creatures that inhabit the high sky.

"Keep a low profile! Keep a low profile! Once I get the template for the Sky Comet Dragon, I will definitely trample all creatures under my feet."

Chapter Eleven Moving

The enhanced flight ability made hunting much easier, and in the following days, Thor returned with a full load almost every time he went out.

Whether it was due to the abundance of food or the effect of those life forces, he found that his growth and development speed had increased once again.

In just a few days, the length from beginning to end increased by another foot, reaching more than three meters.

Below the roulette wheel in his mind, in the section displaying his basic information, the challenge level had changed from three to four.

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, but Thor couldn't be happy at all.

His adoptive mother has been gone for far too long this time; she hasn't returned yet.

When hunting as usual, the time spent is usually no more than a day, and occasionally a little longer, but no more than three days.

But more than five days have passed since she left last time, which makes it hard for Saul not to have doubts.

At first, he could convince himself that Daenerys might be seeking revenge on the creature that had hurt him, but as time went on, he became almost certain that she had simply abandoned her cubs and run away.

After all, chromatic dragons have no concept of kinship, and during their youth, they can lay a nest of eggs almost every year.

The hatchlings may be nothing more than an unusual pet or property to them, and not worth cherishing at all.

What angered and saddened Thor was not the fact that he had been abandoned, but the reason why Daenerys had abandoned her cubs.

Considering the wounds on her body, even a fool could guess that this damned guy had indeed attracted the centaurs.

…………

'We can't stay here any longer; we have to leave, the sooner the better.'

Although the centaurs have not yet appeared, it is likely that the exact location of the dragon's lair has not been determined, and it is only a matter of time before they are discovered.

The three surviving red dragon cubs are likely worth more than three pieces of gold of equal weight; if they were discovered…

Thor crouched in the shadows at the cave entrance, his pale golden pupils reflecting the sunlit wilderness outside. He planned to leave under the cover of night once the sun set.

Before that, however, he had to find a way to bring his younger brother and sister along. It wasn't that he was particularly kind-hearted, but rather that they were also a form of property for him.

These two, being evil dragons, generate a wealth of negative emotions almost constantly, making them his best and only source of spiritual energy, so he naturally cannot easily abandon them.

While he was thinking, he stepped into the cave, gently raised the tip of his long tail, and lashed it out at the sleeping Sistana and Kalp.

After a sharp "snap," two screams of agony followed.

The two baby dragons leaped up from the ground in a flash, twitching the muscles in their buttocks and glaring angrily at Thor.

"Are you insane, you wretched bastard?"

Why are you disturbing our sleep!

Looking at these two idiots who still didn't understand the situation, Thor couldn't help but show a hint of disdain in his eyes.

There's a saying that goes something like this: a person's mind is not determined by how much knowledge they possess, but by what they have experienced.

Like his foolish younger brother and sister, despite having the heritage of dragons, they are still just knowledgeable, irritable, and naive cubs.

"You two idiots whose brains have been eaten away by maggots, how can you still be sleeping? Haven't you noticed that Daenerys hasn't been back for many days?"

"So what?"

Sistana raised the tip of her nose dismissively and scratched her butt with her paw as she spoke.

“I can live a good life even without that old guy.”

Culp, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"That's right! That's right! It would be best if she died out there, so I could inherit her estate."

The raging fire in his blood made Thor feel a surge of anger rising in his mind. Without saying a word, he raised his claws and gave them a brutal beating.

"Damn idiot! That old guy didn't die out there; he ran into a powerful enemy and escaped! Do you understand?"

This place has likely been exposed; we must leave as soon as possible and find another place to live.

The two young dragons fought desperately against Thor's brutality, but due to the vast difference in their size, they could only endure the beatings.

He was quickly beaten to the ground, his eyes still fixed on Thor with resentment, making a final stand.

"What evidence do you have for that? I don't believe you."

"Now that the old woman has escaped, does that mean the treasure she left behind belongs to me?"

The two fledglings had completely different focuses, and Sistana's words made Thor's heart skip a beat.

But he soon realized that, given the dragon's greed for wealth, it would definitely take everything it could before leaving, and even if it couldn't take anything, it would swallow it whole, leaving not a single copper coin behind.

"Naive fool, there's no treasure left in this cave, just rubble everywhere!"

If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. Whatever you find is yours.

"You keep your word?"

"Mine! Mine!"

Sistana and Kalp jumped up from the ground and scrambled towards the back of the cave, showing no signs of the beating they had just endured.

Although Thor was certain that Daenerys would take all the treasure, his curiosity still compelled him to follow her.

The two baby dragons struggled desperately to pry open the boulder blocking the back half of the cave, finally managing to squeeze through a crack and stretch their necks to get inside.

Then, two piercing screams echoed through the cave, like the death of one's own mother, causing all who heard them to grieve.

"No!! How can there be nothing here!"

"Damn old bastard! He didn't leave us a single penny!"

Thor, watching from afar, once again showed disdain in his eyes, but he couldn't help feeling a little empty inside.

He was just thinking of what excuse to use to back out, so that if the two baby dragons found anything valuable, he would rush up and snatch it away immediately.

This is done for no other reason than to allow them to generate more spiritual essence.

"Do you believe me now? Get ready to pack up, we'll leave as soon as the sun goes down."

…………

They said they were going to tidy up, but what did the three fledgling dragons living in the wilderness have to tidy up?

All they had were some glittering stones they found while hunting, which were worthless.

Even so, Sistana and Calp carefully stuffed them into the crevices of the scales, not minding the discomfort.

As night fell, the three young dragons glided out of the cave as they did during their usual hunt. After landing, they looked at each other and then, without prior arrangement, turned to look at Thor.

He was the strongest of the three hatchlings and the one who initiated the proposal; naturally, it was up to him to decide where to go.

Despite possessing the dragon's heritage, Thor was completely clueless about his current location and had no idea which way to go.

I could only choose a direction at random, and with my limbs outstretched, I took off running with my two baby dragons.

Shortly after they left, the sound of heavy hoofbeats enveloped the muddy hill.

A sliver of moonlight peeked out from the darkness, climbing up to the cave atop the mountain. A large, bony hand reached out and picked up a broken scale from the ground.

"Found you!!"
