Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

True dragons are creatures of extraordinary endurance. Their hearts appear to have four atria like humans, but their myocardial muscles are incredibly developed. Legend has it that even if a stone were inserted into one, it would be instantly crushed into dust by the force of its contraction.

At the same time, all the blood pumped from the heart flows through a peculiar gland called the basal vessel, an organ that infuses activated magical elements into the blood, thereby greatly enhancing the physical performance of dragons.

The three baby dragons ran for nearly two hours before stopping, slightly out of breath.

At this moment, the muddy hills had long since disappeared from view. Looking around, all that could be seen was a vast and boundless plain. The green grasses rippled and undulated in the night wind, like endless waves. Scattered trees rose from the ground, interspersed with low shrubs and thorns.

Unidentified insects chirped and sang in the grass, and the various noises mingled together, yet inexplicably gave people a sense of tranquility.

Thor wasn't sure how far he had run, but he estimated it to be several tens or even hundreds of kilometers.

Sistana and Kalp, whose physiques were not as strong as his, couldn't help but stick out their tongues, looking exhausted.

"Let's...let's stop for a while! It should be safe here now."

"Yes, I'm so hungry..."

A vague sense of unease still lingered in Thor's heart. He glanced back at his two foolish younger brothers and sisters, but had no intention of continuing to run.

After a short rest, the three baby dragons took advantage of the cover of night to begin searching for prey in their surroundings.

The unfamiliar environment made them afraid to take off, after all, their red scales were quite eye-catching even under the starlight.

Relying solely on their sense of smell, hearing, and sight to hunt greatly reduced their success rate, and it took them more than an hour to catch just two rabbits.

This time, Saul did not eat it alone. Instead, under the shocked gazes of Sistana and Kalp, he divided the rabbit meat into three equal portions.

After all, spiritual essence is undoubtedly more important than this bit of meat.

If these two baby dragons are kept hungry, not only will they be unable to maintain their high spirits, but they might also become a hindrance in the event of an emergency.

After Thor swallowed his portion of rabbit meat, skin and bones included, he recalled the giant roulette wheel in his mind and lightly tapped the Dragon Crystal column.

The balance behind the mental energy essence immediately dropped from 8.14 to 7.14, and a long, rectangular crystal, slightly smaller than a mineral water bottle, also appeared in the air.

For Thor, that little bit of rabbit meat was just a snack to pass the time; this was his real staple food.

The active energy fluctuations on the crystal caught the attention of Sistana and Kalp. They both turned their heads, their pale golden pupils turning crimson the moment they saw the dragon crystal.

"This is... a magic crystal! Where did you find it?!"

"Damn Thor, you secretly took Daenerys's treasure behind our backs."

As they spoke, the scales on the two baby dragons burst open, their backs arched high, as if they were about to fight over it at the slightest provocation.

Although they knew in their hearts that even if the two dragons joined forces, they would definitely not be a match for Thor, the greed flowing in their dragon blood temporarily clouded their reason.

Thor glanced at the two idiots, a sinister grin spreading across his face.

He forcefully slammed the dragon crystal on his claws against the stone on the ground. With a crisp "crack," the dragon crystal instantly turned into fragments of varying sizes scattered on the ground.

"Do not!!!"

How could you do this?!

Sistana and Kalp screamed in agony at the sight.

True dragons are born with a magical ability called valuation, which allows them to instinctively estimate the value of various precious metals, ores, as well as handicrafts and equipment.

The value of the unfamiliar magic crystal in front of them plummeted the moment it shattered.

Although it wasn't their own wealth, such a wasteful act still caused them a pang of heartache.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of intense anger welled up inside him, turning into fury towards Thor.

Faced with two charging baby dragons, Thor simply leaped to the side and dodged their bites.

Then, he reached forward with his claws, precisely grabbed Sistana's hind leg, and flipped her over, throwing her heavily onto Kalp.

The whole process took no more than three seconds. The two fledglings went from pouncing aggressively to rolling around on the ground in a sorry state.

Thor leisurely picked up the dragon crystal fragments from the ground, stuffing most of them into his mouth, leaving only two pieces to hold between his claws, and said:

“If you kneel down and beg me, I will take pity on you and give you a piece.”

Sistana and Kalp, who had just gotten up from the ground, glared at Thor and refused without even thinking.

"You're dreaming!!"

"The dignity of the Red Dragon must not be desecrated!!"

Thor slightly raised his eyelids, gave a playful "oh," and said again:

"Are you sure? Whoever kneels down first gets the big piece."

As soon as he finished speaking, two muffled thuds came from ahead. The two fledgling dragons seemed to be pressed down by an invisible weight, and they lay prostrate on the ground.

Then, they turned and glared at each other fiercely, shouting in unison.

"I knelt down first, so the bigger piece should be mine!" x2.

Such shameless behavior made Thor's lips twitch involuntarily.

But you can't blame the two fledglings for kneeling so quickly. After all, they had been beaten down by Thor countless times in the past, and it had become a habit.

This put Thor in a bit of a predicament, as he hadn't even noticed which of the young dragons had knelt down first.

But it doesn't matter! The final decision is still in my hands anyway. I raised my paw and casually pointed at Sistana, and opened my mouth to say.

“Sistana was quicker; it seems she has more respect for me, her brother, and gave her the bigger piece.”

"Wait! This isn't fair! I should be faster."

Culp was clearly dissatisfied with the result and started shouting loudly.

Thor completely ignored him, walked over to Sistana, looked her in the eyes, and said:

"Now, let's eat it!"

"Eat? Eat what?"

Sistana was clearly taken aback for a moment, and when she realized that Thor was referring to the magic crystal, she was taken aback.

"This is my treasure, I don't want to eat it!"

"That's not up to you!"

Before she could react, Thor swiftly shoved a fragment of dragon crystal into her throat, then pressed down on her mouth and shook it up and down, preventing her from spitting it out.

This was experience he had accumulated from feeding dogs medicine in his previous life.

While a true dragon can temporarily store treasure in its stomach and then regurgitate it intact after a period of time, a young dragon has clearly not yet mastered this skill.

As she felt the magic crystal slide down her throat and into her stomach, tears of heartache and humiliation welled up in Sistana's eyes.

After dealing with his foolish sister, Thor turned his gaze to Culp, revealing a smile that he found utterly sinister.

"So, do you want to eat it yourself, or should I help you?"

Chapter Thirteen: Escape in the Opposite Direction

If you want chives to grow vigorously, fertilization is absolutely crucial.

You can't just keep harvesting crop after crop while being stingy with fertilization. Otherwise, the chives will only grow sparser and the plants will become weaker.

Only by promptly applying fertilizer and wood ash after each harvest can they maintain their vigorous growth.

The higher the level of intelligence and the greater the strength of a creature, the stronger its emotions will be, which will then be able to be transformed into more spiritual essence.

Thor's intention in distributing the Dragon Crystals to Sistana and Kalp was to "fertilize" them, so that they could produce more spiritual essence.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't allow his two foolish younger siblings to collect the dragon crystal like a gemstone; he had to force them to eat it.

As for whether such actions would make them hate him even more, Saul could only say, "May the storm rage on."

…………

The crystals, which were almost a physical manifestation of energy, contained a large amount of energy. After being digested by the true dragon's stomach juices, they began to transform into streams of warm energy that flowed throughout his body.

The fatigue from running had long since vanished, and the hunger had also subsided. The three fledglings then embarked on their journey once again.

Thor didn't have a clear destination; to be honest, he was still a little lost.

For now, we can only take it one step at a time. It would be best to find a mountain range or forest, where the complex environment is obviously more suitable for the young dragons to survive than this boundless wilderness.

Before they knew it, they had traveled for most of the night, but the surrounding scenery remained largely unchanged, as if this wilderness had no end.

A gentle breeze blew from ahead, carrying with it a faint stench of feces and a unique, pungent smell.

This made Thor's heart sink, and a bad feeling inexplicably arose within him.

"Damn it! My luck can't be this bad, I just randomly picked a direction and it turned out like this..."

He quickly turned back and gave Sistana and Kalp a wink, sternly stopping their bickering, his lips moving slightly as he whispered something.

"You two idiots, shut your mouths! We might be in trouble."

Under the threat of the fist, the two baby dragons could only obediently shut their mouths and then, imitating Thor, try to lower their bodies as much as possible, their bellies almost touching the ground, slowly moving forward like three crimson snakes.

After climbing up the towering earthen slope ahead, the view suddenly opened up.

It must have been around four in the morning. Under the starlight, Thor saw a dozen or so tan tents pitched on the flat open ground in front of the earthen slope.

These tents are somewhat like the yurts of the past, supported by wooden frames and covered with animal skins. There are also many wooden stakes around the tents, on which some cattle and sheep are tied.

This was undoubtedly a gathering place for intelligent life, and they had unknowingly intruded into the territory of another race.

Fortunately, the other side probably hadn't noticed them yet. The three baby dragons quietly climbed down the slope and slowly circled around from the side.

Once they were far enough away, they took off running, covering dozens of kilometers in one go.

As the sun was about to rise, they dug a pit in a thicket of bushes, squeezed together and lay down, then used their nimble tails to cover themselves little by little with the loose soil piled up beside them.

Almost all true dragons are perfect creatures that can roam the sea, land, and air; even the fire-attribute red dragon can breathe underwater.

The gas exchange facilitated by the tiny gaps between the soil layers was sufficient to meet the needs of the three baby dragons.

Before long, Sistana and Calp beside Thor gradually fell asleep, but his mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts, and he couldn't fall asleep for a while.

I never imagined that after being reborn as a noble dragon, I would have to experience this life of hiding and running away before I even had a chance to lord it over others. It's just...

…………

As the rising sun begins to bathe the earth, the cold night air condenses into glistening water droplets on the tips of the thatch.

A sudden burst of rapid hoofbeats came from afar. The vibrations from the iron hooves breaking the stickiness between the grass tips and water droplets caused the droplets to fall, as if a light rain had fallen.

A magnificent herd of centaurs was galloping rapidly from afar, led by a male centaur with a silver-white body and wearing a white linen robe.

Bright sunlight shone on his long hair, which was flowing in the wind, as if gilding the strands with a layer of gold. His right hand was holding a long chain, with a red creature dragging from the end of the chain.

It was a red dragon, only about two meters long, and looked like it had just hatched.

Its body, covered in bright red scales, looked rather thin. Its wings on its back were limp, like two undeveloped pieces of flesh. Large bloodstains had appeared on its body from the friction with the ground, and it kept emitting weak roars.

The centaurs who remained in the tents at the foot of the hill heard the commotion and rushed out. When they saw the baby dragon being dragged on the ground, they shouted excitedly and kept calling out the name "Lunaris".

They all gathered around, looking at the baby dragon and discussing it curiously.

"Lunaris, have you captured that great red dragon?"

"Is this its cub? It looks so tiny."

"That damned dragon has finally gotten its comeuppance!"

The silver-white centaur Lunaris waved his hand, signaling for silence, then handed the iron chains he was carrying to the guard beside him, saying with a hint of regret:

"That cunning red dragon ran away with its cub, which was just an abandoned dragon beast, a defective product without any dragon lineage."

Even so, it still holds great value, and both dark elves and mages living in towers would be willing to pay a high price for it.

"Compared to this, I'd much rather kill it, in front of those reptiles..."

A centaur with a crimson body, a slightly petite figure, and a full bust emerged from the largest tent and gritting its teeth as it voiced its dissenting opinion.

Lunaris shook his head and softly advised:

"Aurora, I know the pain in your heart, but you can't let hatred control you."

The war has begun, and the blue dragons are constantly expanding their territory. We need more armor and weapons to arm our warriors, and this dragon can trade for these things with the humans in the south.
