Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

It is inexpensive, readily available, and offers excellent value for money.

As several dragon-blooded kobolds uttered dragon language with barking sounds, the pellets in their palms instantly burst into flames, burning and condensing into a fireball the size of a pigeon egg.

With a gesture, the fireball shot out with a whoosh, its long tail of flame tearing through the air before exploding amidst the most ferocious evil creatures below.

The raging flames instantly expanded into a massive fireball, the heatwave sweeping in all directions, with crimson and bright yellow flames rolling and roaring.

The evil creatures that were fighting were instantly engulfed in the shockwave. Those in the center were torn to pieces by the violent shockwave, while those on the edges were burned and injured.

After the deafening explosion, cries of agony filled the air, but when Thor's molten gold pupils swept over them, they immediately fell silent and lay prone on the ground, no longer daring to make a sound.

"You lowly creatures, it seems I have been too merciful lately, making you forget the meaning of reverence!"

A deep roar came from Thor's mouth, echoing between heaven and earth, causing the evil creatures to tremble. However, a few of them still revealed a gloating expression in their eyes.

With their high intelligence, they maintained a respectful attitude from the beginning. Now, seeing their companions who had been killed by fireballs and potential competitors, a sense of superiority welled up in their hearts.

If it weren't for the terrifying red dragon watching from above, it probably would have already burst into a gleeful laugh.

Then, Thor's voice rang out again, like a spring thunderclap, echoing across the surrounding land.

"I don't want to see my subordinates being nothing but useless cowards who only waste food. From now on, expand my territory in all directions! Give any creatures you encounter only two choices: submit or die!"

Show your skills to the fullest during this process! I will not hesitate to reward anyone who performs exceptionally well!

Whether you desire wealth, power, or formidable weapons, you can obtain them all by demonstrating corresponding value!

The invisible sound waves spread far and wide, and the rolling sound waves made the many creatures lying below feel their scalps tingle, as if an electric current was passing through them.

As a red dragon, Thor has always disliked formalities and is annoyed by tedious pre-battle mobilizations. Moreover, the vast majority of his creatures are illiterate, so no matter how eloquently he speaks, they simply cannot understand him.

Therefore, it would be better to directly state your requirements and the corresponding rewards.

No complicated plans or sophisticated tactical arrangements are needed; simply expand outwards like a flood and relentlessly engulf everything in its path.

Chapter 168 Transition

"Kill! Flesh and blood!"

"Fight for the great Dragon Lord!"

"Charge! Charge! Charge! My claws are ready to tear any enemy in my way to shreds!"

……

Thor's words were like a spark, instantly igniting the innate bloodlust and killing intent within those evil creatures. They roared deafeningly, brandishing their weapons, and surged in all directions like a raging tide.

As a red dragon with ideals and ambitions, Thor allows them to plunder anything they fancy in the process—whether it be gold coins, gems, or even fresh flesh and living creatures; as long as they have the ability to seize it, they can have it all.

Such lavish spending is unparalleled among true dragons, especially among the inherently evil and greedy colored dragons.

It's worth noting that a typical red dragon will have its subordinates hand over more than 90% of the spoils; while a green dragon, who is more adept at scheming and manipulating people, will still take at least 70%.

A true dragon lord like Thor who doesn't take a single penny is probably unprecedented and unlikely to appear again in the future.

But he had his own reasons for acting this way.

What use is a lot of gold coins to an evil creature in this desolate wilderness? Money that can't be spent is nothing more than slightly pretty stones.

In this region, there is only one place where they can exchange these treasures for what they want, and that is their great dragon lord, Thor.

Weapons forged from iron ore acquired from the Underdark, food grown in the land, and even everything that flies, runs, and swims in this territory belong to Thor.

If any of his creatures wanted to eat a little better, have a handy weapon, or even more luxuriously, a decent suit of armor, they all had to pay him.

As for distributing free weapons to boost his men's combat effectiveness? Such a losing proposition is not within Thor's consideration.

How many copper coins is a goblin worth? Stupid and clumsy, only fit to be used as a consumable. Apart from its high reproductive rate, it is useless and not even worth as much as a small knife.

To get weapons from Saul, the value they create for him must exceed the value of the weapons themselves before he will grant the corresponding loan.

Therefore, even if the fish in the pond drink a lot of rainwater, they will eventually flow back into the pond.

No matter how much treasure Thor's evil creatures plunder, it will soon flow back into his clutches.

This is far more sophisticated than simply forcing them to hand over their belongings. It will give them the illusion that as long as they keep working hard, their lives will get better and better, and they will even be grateful for Saul's generosity.

Before long, the first group of men who had gone out returned. They headed east toward the human territory, advancing along the border of the Thor territory while plundering several small wilderness tribes, bringing back a small amount of spoils and some prisoners.

Slaves also have value with Thor; as long as enough living intelligent beings are brought back, they can receive his rewards.

After these men exchanged the small amount of gold and silver they had brought back, a few colorful gemstone embryos, and more than thirty slaves with Thor for gleaming weapons and simple armor, they immediately set off again with great joy, eagerly anticipating another big battle.

With these weapons and armor, they will surely be able to defeat more enemies, acquire more spoils, and ultimately fill Thor's coffers.

……

Just as Thor's minions were spreading outwards in a frenzied, sweeping wave, far away in the wilderness, two blue dragons had just finished a raid.

Broken carriages lay scattered across the desolate land, and the fallen horses' carcasses were covered with scars from electric shocks.

Scattered human corpses were mixed in among them, some looking as if they had been run over by trucks, a gruesome sight; others looking as if they had been struck by lightning, their bodies charred black.

Two blue dragons strolled among the scattered caravan, their sharp eyes searching for anything of value as they casually tore chunks of meat from the charred horses and stuffed them into their mouths to chew.

The half-cooked horse meat was full of blood, which dripped down from between their white fangs, making the two red baby dragons lying on the ground behind them drool.

"Damn it! Look at all this! Fur? Iron pots? Salt, spices, and flour? It's all worthless junk! Why aren't there any gems or gold coins! I want gems and gold coins!"

Leilia used her claws to pry open the wooden planks of each carriage, searching for the goods inside, but she couldn't find anything she wanted, and she couldn't help but curse.

Nefarian was prepared for this. Being a few years older didn't necessarily increase his strength much, but it certainly broadened his horizons.

Most caravans heading into the wilderness barter for goods; how could they possibly carry large amounts of gold coins and gems? That would be blatant tactic to lure them into robbery.

This little female dragon is still too inexperienced; she's never left the old man's territory. Once I capture her, should I take her around to broaden her horizons? Maybe we can even unlock some new tricks?

The daydreams in his mind made him feel a surge of excitement. Looking at Leilia's beautifully curved body and her sapphire-like scales, he felt that the hidden scales between her legs were about to unfold, and he quickly spoke up.

"These traveling merchants in the wilderness are all poor bastards, stingily hoarding their gold coins in human kingdoms, unable to squeeze much profit out of them."

If you like gemstones, I can give you a blue... lapis lazuli, as long as you promise me..."

Leilia turned her head away in annoyance, her eyes filled with deep disdain and a hint of coldness.

That damn fly buzzes around her incessantly every day, as vile as a boar in heat, disturbing her peace and quiet.

Once she gets further away, further away from that old bastard Stormfang's territory, she'll find a chance to kill this piece of trash and stuff his eggs into his mouth.

"Can you shut your mouth? Even the wild dogs in the desert are quieter than you! Lapis lazuli? You dare to utter such a despicable thing? If you gave me a Heart of Storms, maybe I'd consider letting you lick my claws."

These insulting words ignited Nefarian's anger, and he couldn't help but want to pounce on her and force Lelia into submission.

However, seeing the electric light flowing across her scales and the storm surging in her cleavage-like pupils, he involuntarily shrank back.

This little female dragon's bloodline is unexpectedly pure; if a fight were to break out, I might not be a match for her.

However, he has already left marks along the way, and it is likely that a large number of helpers will follow soon.

This proud little female dragon certainly doesn't know that I've already seen through her intention to escape. If I just capture her then, she'll be completely at my mercy. There's no need to start a conflict now.

After a brief standoff, each of the two blue dragons, each with its own thoughts, silently took a step back.

Just then, the half-sword blade protruding from beneath a corpse suddenly caught Leilia's attention.

The gleaming cold light and unique patterns clearly indicated it was no ordinary weapon. She stepped forward and drew it, only to find that the blade, shimmering with blue starlight, was covered with densely packed small characters.

Chapter 169 Temptation

One by one, the processed Bystin Gianthorn Bulls, Mountain Goats, and Los Beasts from the Underdark were skewered on a huge grill, their bodies already covered with fine, intricate cuts.

Saffron from Olmpur Bay, cinnamon from Kalin Fir, cloves from the Churt Forest, and fennel seeds from Moonshadow Sea, along with other precious spices, were finely ground into powder and mixed with rich honey to coat the livestock in a thick layer.

The golden dragon's breath was being gently roasted, and the proteins, catalyzed by the Maillard reaction, gradually released a rich and enticing aroma of meat.

While Thor's men were busy conquering and expanding his territory, he was comfortably lying in his own land, leisurely enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

With money, people naturally indulge in extravagance. Thanks to the merchants who travel between the Underdark and his territory, fine wines and delicacies from all over the world can be easily obtained, and the diet has become more refined, no longer as wild and uncouth as before.

The dragon's body is itself an extremely sophisticated instrument, and as a red dragon, Thor can precisely control his body temperature within a certain range.

At this moment, he was trying his best to suppress the fire element in his body. The flames that had surrounded him all year round had been extinguished, and the scales that were once as red as hot irons were now only warm to the touch.

Only in this way could he successfully pour the fiery dragon liquor from his claws into his mouth, preventing the liquor from exploding into a tasteless flame the moment it touched his tongue.

The dragon-vein kobold cuts off pieces of meat from the roasting cattle and sheep. Only when the meat is cooked to the perfect temperature can it maintain its tenderness and flavor, so that you don't bite into it and only taste a mouthful of charcoal.

However, for Thor, these meats and wines were ultimately just snacks to satisfy his appetite. What truly replenished his energy and met his physical needs for growth were various energy crystals and precious minerals.

As Alan, transformed into a long, slender dragon shadow, weaved between the various barbecue grills, he saw the inherently evil red dragon occasionally extend its claws, pulling out handfuls of glittering gems of various colors and rare metals more precious than gold from who-knows-where, stuffing them into its mouth like eating beans.

In just a short time, the food he ate would probably be worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

Such extravagant behavior made Alan swallow hard.

The main reason why metal dragons are called metal dragons is not only because of their metallic scales, but also because they have a habit of eating metal.

Those energy-rich gemstones and metallic minerals are not only their most cherished collections, but also food that promotes physical development.

Alan has not eaten properly for a long time since he was imprisoned by Thor with an oath.

The little treasure he carried with him had already been used up during his previous treatment to speed up his recovery.

Ordinary prey and vegetables not only fail to provide sufficient energy, but also lack some essential minerals.

As a golden dragon who had just entered adolescence, whose body was developing rapidly and whose appetite was at its peak, Ailan almost drooled as he watched the red dragon devour its food.

Sensing that scorching gaze, Thor, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened his squinted eyes. His clear pupils swept to the side, and then he glanced at the dragon crystal that he hadn't finished eating on his claws. A malicious smile immediately appeared on his lips.

"Little mudskipper, do you want this? Just shout 'Great Lord Thor' and I'll give it to you."

As he spoke, he gently tossed his claws, and the transparent crystal, about the size of a football and shimmering with a bluish-green light, bounced up and down, radiating a vibrant life energy in the air.

The possessiveness of treasure, ingrained in the blood of all true dragons, made Alan's gaze follow the glittering magic crystal up and down.

Can this precious treasure be obtained with just a shout?

Such an easy offer almost made her subconsciously agree, but after realizing what was happening, a chill ran through her, and she growled firmly at Thor.

"Stop your little tricks. Justice will never be swayed by temptation. Just give up on that idea!"

Thor's answer was not unexpected. He caught the falling dragon crystal and put it in his mouth.

Metal dragons rarely fall into corruption. Even if they do, they are usually copper dragons with chaotic natures and a penchant for pranks. There are almost no corrupted silver dragons, let alone gold dragons, which are the leaders of metal dragons.

However, "almost none" does not mean "completely none." The innate chaos and evil in his blood makes Thor always like to cause trouble for other creatures when he has nothing else to do.

Being able to resist temptation for a moment doesn't mean you can resist it forever.

As the stakes of wealth continue to rise, he is eager to see what choice this golden dragon will ultimately make.

However, there was no rush, so after Alan refused, Thor did not continue trying. He slightly narrowed his eyes, and his mental energy began to shift along the invisible connection.

Seeing the red dragon lying down again, Alan, who had been looking righteous and awe-inspiring, immediately deflated. A faint regret flashed through her mind. She glared at the seemingly sleeping beast, but could only continue with her work.

…………

A magnificent eagle soars among the mountains, with a wingspan of nearly 6 meters, a crimson beak that resembles a burning flame, and golden talons covered with overlapping scales.

The imposing presence of a apex predator emanated from this bird, its golden pupils surveying the land below as if inspecting its own kingdom.

This was the black-feathered eagle that Thor controlled after he first awakened his spell-like ability to control small creatures.

Thanks to ample food, dragon crystal dust, and the nourishment of a whole piece of bird dragon jade, this originally ordinary bird underwent a second development and has now completely transformed into a ferocious raptor.

Not only did it grow to an enormous size and its feathers become as hard as iron, but it also possessed a certain degree of magical resistance. Its enormous claws and sharp beak could easily tear through tough cowhide.

Let alone hunting ordinary goats and wild boars, it could even pose a certain threat to a white dragon hatchling.

When Thor is unwilling to move, this agile bird will act as his eyes, helping him to patrol the surrounding territory.

Its enormous size, coupled with its even wider wingspan, allows this black-feathered eagle to easily exceed 80 kilometers per hour in its normal cruising speed.

The rolling hills were quickly left behind, and then some evil creatures that roared and charged around wildly came into view.

On the western side of the mountain range where Thor was located, beneath a large tree that stretched south into the wilderness, a fierce battle was raging between two groups of goblins.
