Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

Wherever the terrifying sound waves passed, everything in the world seemed to turn into dust in amber, instantly frozen in mid-air.

Red, blue, green, black, and white—five enormous dragon heads, with long necks, emerged from nowhere, opened their mouths and fiercely bit various parts of the giant spider phantom's body, then forcefully tore it in five directions.

As if a piercing curse rang out, the enormous spider phantom was instantly torn into five pieces, dissipating into streams of light that filled the sky.

The enormous dragon head also retracted into the void, and before leaving, the crimson head gave Thor a meaningful look.

As soon as the air resumed flowing, Thor immediately canceled his exchange for the Big Barrel, but five or six brown barrels still rolled out of the void, wasting dozens of essence points.

But he had no time to care about these things now. The five dragon heads that emerged from the void were undoubtedly Tiamat's doing. That old thing had indeed been secretly watching him all along.

So what exactly is her purpose? Is she trying to develop him into a loyal follower, or is she attracted to other qualities in him?

For a moment, Thor's expression shifted between light and dark, but he did not lose his composure.

After all, there were too many abnormal things about him. At less than ten years old, his combat power had already surpassed that of a hundred-year-old adult red dragon.

Furthermore, the five-colored dragon race is, in a sense, an extension of the concept of Tiamat, making it virtually impossible for her to avoid noticing them.

So when Thor drew the first monster template, he was already mentally prepared.

Chapter 150 Seizure

roar--!!

A hoarse roar suddenly interrupted Thor's thoughts. He looked up sharply and saw the Shadow Dragon, which he had kicked away earlier, struggling to pounce on him again.

Already filled with rage, Thor immediately flapped his wings, soaring into the air with a large amount of scalding lava.

Although it's unclear what hidden dangers Tiamat's appearance might bring, it at least relieved his worries for the moment, allowing him to vent his anger without restraint.

The dragon-attribute energy flowing through his flesh and blood gave Thor unparalleled physical strength, and he faced the shadow dragon in mid-air head-on without flinching.

The two enormous creatures collided again with a deafening roar, but this time, the intense clash of magic that had occurred before did not repeat itself.

The dark flames on Thor's body, imbued with dragon-attribute energy, easily tore through the shadows on the Shadow Dragon, leaving large burn marks on his body.

As the claws and fangs clashed, obsidian-like scales flew everywhere, and large amounts of black blood poured down, corroding the rocks on the ground before quickly dissipating into wisps of black smoke.

Arachne, inside the temple, stared in disbelief at the scene in mid-air. The great Spider Queen of the Abyss had actually been defeated, a sight that nearly drove her to the brink of collapse.

But she was, after all, an old monster who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years, and had long since developed an extraordinary mind through years of conspiracies and battles.

In just a few breaths, she forcibly suppressed her wavering mind. Now that the situation was hopeless, she began to think about a way out.

Given the current situation, it's impossible to defeat that damned red dragon. This dungeon must be abandoned, and we must find a way to preserve our strength as much as possible.

While the red dragon was entangled by the shadow dragon, Arachni quickly summoned her tribe's priests and, at a command, led her warriors to scatter like a spider web.

She absolutely had to take those precious magical equipment and wealth from the vault; they were crucial assets for her future comeback.

The chaos in the city, to some extent, also presents an opportunity to plunder the treasuries of other families.

However, most drow elves in the world are the same kind of people. If Arachni could think of this, the other drow elves would naturally not be left behind.

Under Thor's wanton destruction, the drow elves, who had almost disappeared, suddenly reappeared from nowhere. But this time, their enemy was no longer the red dragon, but they began to fight each other fiercely.

Thor, who was fiercely attacking the Shadow Dragon, caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and his heart was instantly filled with rage.

These black rats are fighting over his spoils right now; those damned thieves dare to covet his treasure!

So, after a brutal charge that forced back the already battered Shadow Dragon, Thor immediately dragged his fiery body down toward the city.

Flames, surging like a long river, spewed from his mouth and began to indiscriminately attack any enemy within sight.

A group of drow elves who were facing off were instantly engulfed by the sea of ​​fire, and the human wanderers who wanted to take advantage of the chaos also perished in the fire.

“Even your god has fallen! From this moment on, this city belongs to the great Thor Heliozog… You scum who don’t want to die, get out of here!!”

A massive sonic boom erupted from Thor's mouth, causing the surrounding air to tremble. Yet, the movements of his claws did not cease, continuously spreading an aura of destruction in all directions.

Some clever ones had already made their escape, while those unfortunate enough to be left behind in the city began desperately searching for a way to get out.

Several drow elf matriarchs glanced regretfully at the city that had been in operation for over a thousand years, then led their respective groups and stepped into the hidden tunnels without hesitation.

Even the remaining drow elves and shadow dragonborn merged into the shadows and quickly disappeared without a trace.

As creatures living in dark places, they all have their own unique ways of escaping. In just a short while, the once bustling city became silent at an extremely fast pace.

All the sounds of fighting and killing disappeared, leaving only the crackling of flames and the deafening roar of collapsing buildings.

Looking at the city engulfed in flames, Thor felt immense satisfaction from the red dragon blood within him, and he let out deafening laughter, his demeanor unrestrained and arrogant.

A hoarse roar came from behind again; it was the shadow dragon.

He wasn't taken away by the drow elves; after all, it's easy to release such creatures, but difficult to put them back in captivity.

Especially since they had already abandoned this underground city and had no suitable place to imprison him, it was better to leave him here to buy time.

Thor looked at the blood-soaked behemoth, but his eyes showed no sympathy for his fellow dragons, only icy indifference.

During the previous fight, he discovered that this guy had not only lost his mind, but also had some depletion of bloodline energy, seemingly due to excessive exploitation.

I wonder how many gold coins the corpse will be worth after I kill him.

In the next instant, Thor nimbly flipped around amidst the blazing flames and pounced fiercely at the shadow dragon behind him.

This time, nothing unexpected happened. Without the interference of the drow elves and dragonborn, Thor successfully killed the shadow dragon in just a short while.

To maximize the value of this shadow dragon, he even deliberately avoided vital parts such as the head and heart, only severing the shadow dragon's throat to prevent damaging the integrity of the corpse.

As the nearly 25-meter-long behemoth crashed helplessly to the ground, the fire that had engulfed the drow city began to gradually die down as it burned out all the combustibles.

The once magnificent Gothic spiral castles are now nothing but piles of molten and solidified obsidian. The spider silk that once enveloped them has long since been burned away, and the giant spiders have fled into the depths of darkness.

Countless works of art and magical artifacts were reduced to ashes, and the losses were probably at least tens of thousands of gold coins.

However, the truly precious things had probably already been taken away by those black rats. In this unfamiliar, dark place, Thor was unable to stop them from escaping through those rat-hole-like passages.

But besides what was taken away, many things were left behind, such as the melted gold and silver, and various heavy ores, which now lie quietly in the ruins of this city, waiting to be excavated.

Saul felt it was time to implement his second plan. After establishing dominance and demonstrating his strength, he naturally needed to recruit more troops.

It won't be long before those creatures who managed to escape spread his name throughout every corner of the Underdark.

At that time, as long as he flaps his wings and calls out, a large number of evil creatures will surely come to join him.

But before that, there is something more important to do.

Chapter 151 Ether Crystals

The cave where the Drow Elf city is located has truly excellent geographical conditions.

It is not only spacious, with rare underground rivers flowing through it, but also has a lava lake on one side that can continuously provide light and heat.

In addition to the extensive and established trade routes, this cave could not be easily abandoned. With just a little modification, it could become a distribution center.

Thor summoned all the kobolds and grey dwarves from the surface underground, where they began digging and searching for treasure in the ruins of the former city.

Thanks to their keen sense of ore, items were soon unearthed and piled up in front of Thor.

However, this speed is hardly fast, after all, their numbers are limited, and it is unknown how much time it will take to completely clear the ruins of the entire city.

While the kobolds and grey dwarves were busy, Thor was not idle either. He began to build a simple altar in response to the help that old man Tiamat had given him.

After all, one cannot owe a favor to a dragon. If it is not repaid soon, who knows when it might demand an unbearable price at a critical moment.

As a temporary altar, it does not require very complicated craftsmanship; it only needs to meet three conditions: a flat base, colorful symbols, and a divine emblem carved with a five-headed dragon.

Whether or not a response is received depends on the value of the offerings.

Thor randomly selected a large enough boulder, melted and polished its surface, and placed colorful pebbles in the five corners, while placing the divine emblem that he had the gray dwarves carve in advance in the center.

Then came the main event—a large piece of gold, weighing half a ton, was placed reluctantly by Thor in front of the emblem of God, while he chanted loudly.

"Thank you, Great Dragon Mother, for your grace! You have saved me from the Spider Queen's fangs! In gratitude, I offer you my most precious treasures!"

A loud voice echoed through the cave, and the golden emblem emitted a faint glow, but there was no other sound.

Thor looked up and glanced around. The faint glow on the emblem indicated that the other party was paying attention, but there was no response...

After a moment's thought, his face darkened. He couldn't help but curse the greedy old man in his heart, but he had no choice but to call over a kobold and whisper a few instructions.

The little creature, covered in red scales, obeyed the order and left. Not long after, it returned with more companions.

More gold and silver, along with various precious items that Thor had prepared beforehand, were piled up on the altar. Only when the total value exceeded 10 gold coins did a five-colored rainbow shoot into the sky.

An immense aura permeated the air, and all the kobolds involuntarily knelt on the ground at that moment.

Five ferocious dragon heads snaked out from the void, surrounding Thor from all directions, making him afraid to move.

Those golden pupils seemed to possess powerful penetrating force, scanning his body inch by inch. As if they had seen something that pleased them, they couldn't help but reveal a pleased expression.

A grand voice then resounded through the air, several voices overlapping each other, both solemn and domineering.

"This little bit of wealth is not enough to repay my kindness."

But since mothers are always kind to their children, consider this interest.

The real price will be paid in the future, so grow up quickly! I look forward to that day.

When Tiamat's voice disappeared, the colorful rainbow light faded as well, along with all the valuable items on the altar.

Thor struggled to his feet, his limbs feeling weak, and felt a slight itch in his teeth.

Not only did the problem remain unresolved, but a large sum of money was lost for no reason, which infuriated Long.

But since the situation was more favorable than Long Qiang's, he could only use the money as a test for information about that old man. He couldn't feel at ease otherwise.

At least based on the current results, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term. As for future troubles, we'll leave that for later.

As long as one's strength grows fast enough, it won't be so easy for the other party to control them.

Thinking of this, Thor couldn't help but glance at the essence balance on the wheel in his mind, which clearly showed 11372.

That's right, it's 11,372. As a large city with tens of thousands of drow elves, plus more than twice that number of slaves, the total number of intelligent beings is probably close to 50,000.

When the devastating dragon breath struck, the fear they unleashed was as turbulent as the Yangtze River, but this was merely a bonus. What truly provided Thor with a great deal of essence was their souls after death.

Those drow elves could escape through pre-dug secret passages, but they certainly wouldn't take the slaves with them in this situation.

This resulted in the death of the vast majority of goblins, gnomes, cave dwellers, and the like, who became nourishment for Thor's growth.

If the underground cave they had just seized wasn't still in a unstable state, Thor would have been eager to draw his first high-level monster template long ago.

However, he had already begun preparations, spending time each day in the lava pool in a corner of the cave to absorb fire and earth magic, store energy, and consume large amounts of various energy crystals.

In order to unlock more exchangeable items, he also spent several hundred essence points to draw miscellaneous items.

Most of what you get are useless things: all sorts of strange plants, materials dropped by small monsters, insect eggs, dried sea fish, and even things like water and silt.

Even the ores that were specifically selected were mostly useless, and some of them Thor had never even heard of.

After all, the types of minerals in a real world can never be as limited as there are in a game, with only a few dozen types.

The only two things he found useful were a fist-sized azure crystal—an ether crystal, and a mushroom with a reddish-brown cap—a nitrifying mushroom.

When Thor recalls his memories of his past life, he is surprised to find that one of the items does not come from the world of Monster Hunter.

As the fist-sized crystal landed in his palm, Thor immediately felt a vast and surging energy within it. Seven-colored rainbow light surged in the center of the crystal, causing a halo of light, like ripples, to appear around the entire crystal.

This was not due to fluctuations in the air caused by the energy emitted by the ether crystals, but rather a slight distortion in the surrounding space.

As a manifestation of the primordial energy of the universe in the Final Fantasy world, this tiny crystal not only possesses the ability to be compatible with the power of all elements, but also contains unique spatial energy.

Or rather, it is the solidification of spatial energy, the original composition of all matter, life, and magic in another world.

Such a precious item is naturally of extraordinary value.

When Saul focused his attention on the small, still faintly glowing square on the mental wheel, a piece of information naturally surfaced.

One point of spiritual essence can only be exchanged for one gram, not one kilogram or one ounce.
