Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

One side consisted of about 30 animals, dressed in tattered animal skins and carrying simple wooden sticks.

The other side had only a dozen or so soldiers, but their equipment was undoubtedly much better. They were not only wearing simple leather armor, but their wooden clubs were also sparsely studded with a few iron nails.

The leader, clearly stronger than the other goblins, was unusually wielding a gleaming scimitar and was shouting loudly in a gibberish goblin language.

Chapter 170 Approaching

"Surrender! Hand over all the food! Or we'll slaughter you!"

Guk Stomping Toes excitedly brandished his scimitar, sunlight illuminating the gleaming blade and reflecting a chilling light.

As a goblin with ideals and ambitions, it always felt that pledging allegiance to the great dragon lord was the wisest decision it had ever made in its life.

As long as the name of the Great Dragon Lord is uttered, no creature will dare to underestimate it anymore—those humans who once regarded them as trash will now only dare to bow their heads and bend their backs respectfully when they pass by.

After hauling ore for the gray dwarves for more than two months, it successfully traded it for a sharp scimitar. With this weapon, it cut off the toe of the previous leader and seized the leadership position.

Now, an even greater opportunity has arrived. The great dragon lord has ordered the expansion of his territory, not only allowing them to plunder all creatures along the way, but also bestowing upon them generous rewards.

It must seize this opportunity to make a brilliant performance, and preferably make the great dragon lord remember it, just like those kobolds who know how to flatter, completely break free from the limitations of its race, and become a true powerhouse.

Because living slaves can be exchanged for more from the great dragon lord, Gook plans to negotiate with the goblins in front of him first, hoping that they will cooperate obediently and surrender as slaves.

However, given its simple mind and level of education comparable to prenatal education, what it says often sounds more like a naked threat.

The other group of goblins, upon hearing this, were immediately enraged. Their numerical advantage emboldened them and made them arrogant and overconfident.

"We outnumber them! Kill them!"

"Hand over that shiny weapon!"

Without a word, the two sides immediately started fighting. The sounds of clanging and banging, and the crude roars, rose and fell, attracting the attention of several giant beasts flying overhead.

…………

Rewind a few days, when Leilia pulled the longsword from under the corpse, dense writing instantly came into view.

Power, glory, wealth... the sword promises everything in an alluring tone, and there's even a simple map attached below, with the words "Sol Heliozog" prominently printed at the bottom.

She remembered; that was the name of the red dragon cub. How dare a mere young dragon speak so arrogantly?

But in any case, finding their trail is always a good thing. She immediately spread her wings and flew swiftly toward the location marked on the map.

Seeing this, Nefarian couldn't help but curse, but he had no choice but to follow closely behind.

The most unfortunate were Sistana and Kalp, whose two red dragon hatchlings were tied to their backs with ropes and swung around in the air like kites.

It's fortunate that the dragon has strong vitality; if it were an ordinary creature subjected to such torment, it would probably have died long ago.

As the race most adept at flying and gliding among all five chromatic dragons, the blue dragons possess an unparalleled advantage in long-distance travel thanks to their unique physical structure.

Their wings, as wide as those of a pterosaur, along with the membrane that extends all the way to their tails, allow them to even rest in mid-air like albatrosses.

The vast, untamed wilderness swept past, and the combination of adult and young blue dragons was virtually unmatched in nature, allowing them to travel unimpeded.

A few days later, the rolling hills marked on the map appeared on the distant horizon, but the direction seemed to be a little off, and the iconic canyon was still nowhere to be found.

Just as Leilia was about to search the entire mountain range, a commotion below caught her attention.

…………

"Gulp! Kill!"

The battles between goblins were chaotic and uncoordinated; they simply threw their weapons at each other relentlessly.

But Guque was different. When it was young, it found half a parchment with an image on it and learned a treacherous lying-down knife technique from it.

Taking advantage of its naturally short stature, the goblin specializes in attacking its opponents' vulnerable lower body. Even when facing other members of its own kind who are shorter than itself, it cannot break this habit and will specifically target their yellowish-green toes.

With another slash, he severed the leg of a goblin. Watching the goblin lie on the ground groaning in pain, Gook suddenly realized—it seemed that the great dragon race did not want disabled slaves, only those with all four limbs intact.

This greatly annoyed it, as if it had lost some treasure. It then slashed the goblin's head with its blade, ending its life completely, intending to turn it into jerky after the battle.

Just then, a large shadow suddenly fell from the sky, followed by the sound of flapping wings. A violent air current stirred up sand and dust, and dust filled the sky.

The familiar sight sent a shiver down Gook's spine: Had the great Dragon Lord descended? Had he witnessed his valiant performance? Would he remember him because of it?

The surging emotions in his heart made Guk subconsciously raise his head and straighten his chest, and his movements became increasingly fierce.

Then, a sudden, loud crashing sound came from ahead, and a sea of ​​azure scales, shimmering with electricity, came into view like a city wall—

'Wait! It's blue?'

…………

The air was thick with the smell of ozone, and several unlucky goblins were trampled by the falling blue dragon and instantly turned into mincemeat.

The crackling of electricity continued, followed by a deafening sound like thunder.

"You lowly trash! The great blue dragon has a few questions for you. You'd better answer truthfully, otherwise..."

Leilia's amber pupils scanned her surroundings, and from the long, narrow crack in the center of her pupils, which resembled a lightning bolt, tangible electric light shone through.

The silence of the goblins around her greatly satisfied her vanity. The standard submissive posture of some of them, prostrating themselves completely, even surprised her slightly.

When did these stupid and filthy creatures become so polite? Are they geniuses among goblins?

However, she quickly put this irrelevant thought aside and continued to ask.

"Do you know a red dragon named Thor Heliozog? He lives around here, in those low hills."

Compared to ordinary goblins, the much quicker-witted Gook immediately realized: Isn't that the name of the great dragon lord? Could these blue dragons be his friends?

If I could introduce him and guide him, could I make an impression on the great dragon lord and thus rise to prominence like those kobolds...?

Countless thoughts flashed through its mind, almost short-circuiting its tiny brain.

It quickly raised its head before the other goblins could and spoke.

“Great Blue Dragon, I know! He is in that valley over there, I can show you the way!”

Leilia was surprised that a casual question actually led her to the person in question, and a happy expression appeared on her face.

She glanced at the filthy goblin on the ground, not wanting to get her paws dirty, and turned to yell at Kalp, who had been left behind:

"Grab that goblin, and if you dare let it fall, I'll twist your head off!"

Now, let's go find your brother, and soon the three of you little ones will be reunited.

The sound of flapping wings rang out again, and the shadow in the sky gradually shrank and receded into the distance.

Just as the remaining goblins were secretly rejoicing at their escape, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck, and surging currents coursed through the air, instantly claiming their lives.

Chapter 171 Surprise

A crimson dragon lay on the crater, its ferocious scales rising and falling with its breath, flickering with unpredictable firelight.

A group of dragon-vein kobolds, each over 1.5 meters tall, were wielding hard, pointed hammers, leaping and bounding around the dragon, swinging their hammers with great force, creating clanging sounds.

Spending a long time in volcanic lava causes some hard material formed from cooled magma to get stuck in the crevices of Thor's scales and in the flame-like thickets of thorns.

Some of them will be melted by the high temperature on Thor's body and slide off his scales; others will be shaken off by him shaking his body.

However, some exceptionally hard and heat-resistant metals may stubbornly remain, requiring some help to clean them.

What these dragon vein kobolds are doing right now is precisely this task.

The kobolds carefully collected the broken pieces. Although they looked like some kind of impurity, they were substances that could withstand the high temperature of Thor's body and adhere to it for a long time. How could they be ordinary things?

They are metals drawn from the depths of the earth by Thor's magical field, mostly copper and flame iron—the former being a relatively common fire-attribute metal, while the latter is much rarer and naturally possesses the ability to gather fire elements.

These things are even an important source of wealth for ordinary red dragons.

Although Thor looked down on this little bit of food, even a mosquito's leg is meat, so he naturally didn't intend to waste it.

The clanging and banging continued for a long time. Thor's heavy eyelids covered his molten gold pupils, as if he were asleep. However, in his normally dark field of vision, a large number of images were flashing.

A giant eagle with black feathers and a red beak soared in the high sky, its sharp eyes looking down at the two blue dragon shadows below.

Whether to say that Leilia and her companions were lucky or unlucky is hard to say, but not long after they stepped into this territory, they were discovered by the black-feathered eagles he had released into the air.

The agile raptor followed the two blue dragons all the way, watching them slaughter a small group of goblins and then head straight for his lair with two of their blood relatives.

Seeing their aggressive stance and their head-on approach, Thor was somewhat surprised and didn't understand what they were up to.

Although not much time has passed since they parted ways at the Endless Glacier, Thor's tremendous increase in strength has made him subconsciously forget about the blue dragons and no longer regard them as a threat.

So at first he didn't realize that the two blue dragons were there to capture him. Once he realized it, he grinned and couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

He originally planned to wait until his territory was more developed before going to the wilderness to kill the old dragon and directly take over its territory and its retinue.

Unexpectedly, a few of his ignorant underlings came to his door first. Well, he might as well play along with them.

A surge of malice welled up in Thor's mind, and from his gaping maw, he revealed a series of ferocious fangs, each the size of a giant banana and gleaming with a metallic sheen.

He flicked his tail, shooing away the dragon-blooded kobolds that were busy on his body, and gave the order in a low growl.

"Two blue reptiles are coming. Pass down the order: do not reveal my presence. Call that old bear and have some fun with them first, then let them break into the volcano. I want to see the expressions on their faces."

After saying that, Thor took a step back into the volcanic lava to give the two blue dragons a surprise.

Just then, his gaze fell upon Alan, who had transformed back into human form, and a new idea suddenly came to him.

They were just two blue dragons that had barely reached adulthood; killing them would be a piece of cake for him.

But wouldn't doing this be a waste of resources? In this fantasy world, magic is the primary productive force, and true dragons, as naturally magical beings, are like heavy engineering machinery.

To maximize profits, you should first chain them up and drive them like livestock. If they obey, keep them; if they dare to resist, skin them alive and squeeze out every last bit of value.

However, doing so would definitely require some magical means.

Unfortunately, although his strength is already quite powerful due to the purification of his bloodline and the enhancement of various monster templates, he is still young and lacks experience. In terms of magic, he currently only knows awakened spells.

But this golden dragon was different; it had used all sorts of spells skillfully during their previous battle.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and the next moment Thor chuckled and said to Alan.

"Little mudskipper, you must have heard what I just said. Two blue dragons are about to attack my territory. As my servant, shouldn't you do your part?"

A hot breath accompanied by a deep voice rushed towards him, causing Alan's golden hair to fly backward.

The mocking address and tone infuriated her, and her beautiful eyebrows shot up.

"Damn dragon! Don't call me little mudskipper, I have my own name!"

What does the Blue Dragon attacking your territory have to do with me? It's just dogs fighting; I'd be happier if they both suffered heavy losses!

Upon hearing this, Thor slowly shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face.

"Really? I thought that as the leader of the metal dragons, the Golden Dragon, you would walk the path of justice with impartiality and unwavering integrity, but I never expected that you would also be a guy who only cares about satisfying your own selfish desires."

As a champion of justice, shouldn't you stop evil dragons when you see them wreaking havoc? Don't forget, it's your duty!

As he spoke, Thor flipped his claws, and a crystal nearly 10 centimeters long, as thick as a wrist, and gleaming with a golden luster appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"Here's what we'll do! As long as you help me catch them and do a little something extra, this will be your reward."

Pure fire and earth energy flowed quietly within this Radiant Dragonstone, and its dazzling appearance immediately captivated Alan's attention.

She began to hesitate. Punishing evil was indeed within her authority, and dealing with the two unruly blue dragons would not violate her own path of good.

As for whether doing so would benefit another evil dragon, that doesn't seem to be something I should worry about.

Moreover, doing so would also cause this despicable red dragon to lose its wealth. For a dragon that values ​​wealth more than life, wouldn't that be equivalent to a severe revenge?

As the scales in her heart began to tip, her hand, as white and tender as jade, slowly reached out.

Thor didn't give her any time to think it over. Seeing that she was interested, he simply shoved the Radiant Dragon Stone from his claws into her hand.

"Great, it's settled then. I wish us a pleasant collaboration!"

"Come with me now, let's hide first and not disturb those blue dragons. Those cowards aren't very brave, we don't want to scare them away."
