Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

For higher beings, there is another simple yet most demanding method: constantly purifying their own bloodline and awakening the hidden power within it, thereby automatically crossing that threshold.

The invisible barrier that Thor sensed was undoubtedly a legendary threshold that would be an insurmountable chasm for most lives. And the way he would cross this threshold was naturally through bloodline purification.

With the support of numerous monster templates, including the Black Eclipse Dragon which can grow into a powerful Elder Dragon, the pure life force transformed from it nourishes his bloodline, elevating him to an extremely exaggerated level.

For him, advancing to legendary status was as easy as eating and drinking, as long as he grew step by step.

…………

The enormous commotion had already startled the surrounding creatures. When they saw the huge dragon shadow slowly descending from the sky, riding on waves of flame, several impatient creatures immediately swarmed over.

Leilia flapped her tattered wings, and although she wobbled a bit while flying, she was not slow at all. She landed at Thor's feet first, prostrated herself on the ground, and praised him loudly.

"Great Red Dragon, congratulations on your ever-growing power, as dazzling as the rising sun. Compared to your radiance, the entire world pales in comparison. Please allow me to follow your flames forever, to the ends of the earth..."

Thor glanced down at the blue dragon, who was lying on the ground with his rear end slightly raised. He had no idea that this guy had such a good way of speaking.

But these were merely statements of fact, not enough to earn his praise. He simply raised his head slightly and hummed it as if it were perfectly natural.

"The fact that you could see that shows that you, little lizard, are quite perceptive."

The next moment, he felt an itch on his front paws. It turned out that the blue dragon in front of him had secretly circled around and gently hooked its tail around his scales. He immediately swung it hard without hesitation.

"Enough! You rutting pig, that's no excuse for you to overstep your bounds! Go and bring that blue piece of trash over here, I have something to ask him!"

Leilia felt a sharp pain in the tip of her tail and had no choice but to retract it, respectfully get up from the ground, and run towards the foot of the mountain.

Several dragon-blooded kobolds suddenly appeared out of nowhere, directing their kin to serve up a continuous stream of various spirits and delicacies.

As he ate heartily, Thor recalled his brief encounter with the old man known as "Stormfang."

A body length of 30 meters is undoubtedly extraordinary for a mature blue dragon, and its challenge level should not be only level 17 or 18 like that of an ordinary mature blue dragon, but should reach level 19.

All true dragons that can reach level 19 challenge level in their prime will now have one goal: to enter the legendary realm.

After all, not all dragons, if they live long enough, will necessarily become ancient dragons, prehistoric dragons, or even archaic dragons.

The vast majority of true dragons exhaust their bloodline potential when they reach adulthood, and their strength no longer increases naturally with age, but instead gradually declines.

At this point, they only have two paths before them: either rely on their own efforts to break through the legendary level and achieve a second growth of their bodies; or be trapped in the age range of old dragons or extremely old dragons, where they will slowly weaken, remain in a long sleep, and eventually be killed, even though they still have a long lifespan.

If nothing unexpected happens, the reason why the old dragon known as "Storm Fang" keeps expanding its territory is not only because of its evil dragon nature, but more importantly because it wants to unify the wilderness and obtain its own legendary proof.

Having figured this out, Thor couldn't help but sneer with disdain—in the end, he was nothing more than a guy with inferior blood.

Like the red dragon, it can reach the threshold of legend simply by growing naturally. Its bloodline potential has not been completely exhausted, which can provide it with powerful assistance.

The Golden Dragon is even more extraordinary. As long as its bloodline is pure and it has not suffered major injuries, it can naturally advance to the Legendary level, although it will take a little longer.

This old blue dragon, despite having a challenge level of 19, still had to rely on the will of all living beings to forge the proof of its legend. This indicates that its bloodline purity was insufficient, and its subsequent strength was all improved through its own efforts.

This old fellow enslaved Thor for more than half a year. Although Thor didn't suffer much during that time, he even managed to extract a lot of precious essences from those young dragons, which he used as his initial start-up capital.

But dragons are always vengeful, and Thor was no exception. He immediately decided to ruin the old man's plans.

Chapter 179 Counterattack

The iron rings clashed, producing a clear, crisp sound. Nefarian, bound tightly by chains from head to toe, was forcibly dragged out by Leilia like a led animal.

The ring piercing his nostrils and the long nail driven into his body caused him excruciating pain with every movement. The ferocity in his heart was aroused by the intense pain, and he struggled and twisted desperately, even his dark yellow eyes turned bloodshot.

If his mouth hadn't been firmly chained, he probably would have already roared to the sky.

But when his gaze fell upon the red dragon's eyes in the distance, and the blonde woman beside him, all the previous experiences flashed through his mind instantly. A tremendous fear gripped his heart, causing his struggling movements to abruptly stop, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This already ferocious blue dragon became as docile as a tamed dog under Thor's gaze.

Leilia glanced disdainfully at her former companion behind her, then jogged briskly to Thor's side.

“Mighty Red Dragon, as you commanded, I have brought this piece of trash here.”

She bowed respectfully, deliberately raising her waist and lower body slightly to show off her beautiful curves.

However, Thor didn't even glance at her, and turned to Alan beside him.

"Unmold his mouth; I have something to ask him!"

With pity, the golden dragon looked at the blue dragon in front of him, and gently touched it with his jade-white finger. Under the effect of magic, the layers of chains wrapped around the blue dragon's mouth instantly popped open, allowing him to regain the right to speak.

"Damn it! How could you do this to me! How dare you treat me like this!"

My father is the mighty Stormfang, a being who has roamed the western wilderness for nearly four hundred years! If he knew you dared to harm me, he would surely unleash a terrifying divine punishment, burning you all to ashes with lightning!

As soon as his mouth was freed, Nefarik began to shout and yell, uttering threatening words while his body trembled uncontrollably, appearing all bark and no bite.

Thor looked at the fool expressionlessly and said in a calm voice.

"It's too noisy, tell this guy to be quiet!"

Leilia, who was lying prone on the ground, immediately leaped up, swinging her scale-covered forepaws and slapping Nefarian hard across the face with both hands.

Her movements were swift and ruthless, like a cat playing with a fluffy ball. In just a few seconds, Nefalik received more than a dozen slaps to the face, his shattered blue scales splattering everywhere, blood gushing out, and even several of his teeth were knocked out.

"Damn it... traitor! Traitor!"

After struggling and uttering a few incoherent curses, he finally came to his senses, quickly shut his mouth, and buried his head in the ground.

Only then did Leilia reluctantly stop what she was doing, and she moved closer to Thor again, obediently bending down.

Heavy footsteps followed. The large amount of metallic substances contained in his body, coupled with the enhancement of various monster templates, made Thor weigh at least half again as much as a red dragon of the same size.

His slightly outstretched wings cast a huge shadow as he roared at the blue dragon on the ground once more.

"Blue reptile, raise your head! I have something to ask you. If you dare to lie or hide a single word, I'll twist your head off!"

Nefarik cautiously raised his head, only to feel a wave of scorching heat rushing towards him.

The red dragon before them resembled a fire demon from hell, its body shrouded in an inextinguishable flame, with flashes of black lightning occasionally streaking across its scales.

This immense power, carrying the might of a true dragon, swept over him like a tsunami, leaving him feeling suffocated and his mind blank, with only the thought of loudly agreeing remaining.

…………

Stormfang is an old blue dragon who has lived for 378 years and is about to enter old age. His territory radiates outward from Blackrock Fortress, where he lives, covering an area of ​​thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers.

A single dragon would certainly not be able to manage such a vast territory, so he has many followers.

In addition to the young dragons Thor had seen, and the Dragonblood Legion composed of teenage blue dragons and other five-colored dragons, there were also various races such as the Wilderness Raiders, the Sand Chaser Guard, and the Wind Mages, all working together to manage his vast territory.

Conversely, he also had quite a few enemies.

There are centaur tribes led by Windseeker Kahal, the Soulless Mummy Order wandering in the desert tombs, earth elementals located in Stareye Rock, the Darkclaw tribe of abyssal cave dwellers deep underground, storm giants roaring in the sky... and so on. All of these are huge obstacles to his unification of the wilderness.

But the strongest and most dangerous of them all is an old silver dragon, the Silverwing Watcher Arissant, who lives atop a mountain near the endless glacier and is likely already a legend.

…………

Under Thor's coercion, Nefalik dared not harbor any thoughts of concealment or lying. He spoke frankly and without reservation, hoping only to be spared his life.

Moreover, the evil dragon had no sense of kinship. He would not feel any guilt at all for betraying his cheap father, and soon he spilled everything he knew.

This information is basically consistent with what Leilia said before, and even more detailed because he is older and closer to her by blood.

With the dragons’ powerful memory, Thor quickly constructed a simple map of the wilderness in his mind.

He completely forgot about the mummies, cave dwellers, centaurs, and the like. The only thing that Thor really needed to pay attention to was the silver dragon that lived at the border of the endless glaciers and the wilderness.

An old silver dragon that may have already reached legendary status, and also has the advantage of being in the extreme cold region. In addition, due to their grouping and inheritance, metal dragons are generally superior to the five-colored dragons in magic.

These factors combined pose a considerable threat to Thor at this point.

Although he didn't plan to provoke the other party for the time being, he still had to be wary of the other party suddenly wanting to punish evil and uphold justice, so he naturally had to keep a close eye on things.

After roughly understanding the situation in the wilderness, Thor immediately decided that there was no time to lose and put his clever mind to work, figuring out how to sabotage the Blue Dragon's legendary path.

However, after a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, they ultimately coalesced into four words: "Go straight for him."

All the alliances, the strategy of using one enemy against another, the troop deployments—none of that is needed. The simplest and most effective way is to just charge into his lair in Blackrock Fortress and try to kill that old guy.

Once he made up his mind, Thor immediately flapped his wings and took to the air, ignoring the astonished looks of his men, and headed straight west.

With a deafening roar, the rolling flames left a long trail in the air, and the crimson ominous star vanished into the distance in the blink of an eye, leaving only its echoes.

"Take good care of my territory! I'll be right back!"

Chapter 180 Surprise Attack

He said he would be back soon, but the wilderness was vast and boundless, and Thor's journey was clearly not something that could be completed in one go.

After all, the blue dragon's territory was in the deepest part of the wilderness, while his own territory was located on the edge of the wilderness, already close to the borders of the human kingdoms.

Thinking back to when I first arrived, it took a long time just to get there. Even now, with the significant increase in flight speed, it still takes quite a bit of time.

Even with Thor's physique and magical reserves, the method of using simulated flame explosions for propulsion could not continue indefinitely.

Therefore, most of the time, he can only rely on wings that are much wider than those of ordinary dragons to fly forward in a more energy-efficient way.

Soon, the rolling hills where his lair was located were completely left behind, and the unchanging wilderness beneath his feet made him feel somewhat bored.

At this point, he was eagerly hoping to obtain the monster template of the Sky Comet Dragon as soon as possible. Only with that supersonic high-speed flight ability could he truly be said to be able to go anywhere in the world.

Lost in thought, the day slipped away like a fleeting moment.

After nightfall, Thor did not continue his journey. He randomly chose a place to land, burned a patch of lava with his flames, and rested there for the night.

So, as the sun rose and the moon set, and day and night alternated, he continued to venture deeper into the wilderness as time passed.

Along the way, he could even see some familiar sights. When he saw the withered grass turning into barren sandy desert, he knew that he was almost at his destination.

However, once he arrived, Thor did not rush forward.

A robust blue dragon with a challenge level of 19, coupled with over three hundred years of life, was enough for him to accumulate immense power.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Although Thor looked down on his opponent from the bottom of his heart, thinking him to be a piece of trash with impure blood, it did not stop him from making thorough preparations.

The remaining essence from the extraction of the Thunder Wolf Dragon monster template, along with the recently added ones, were all exchanged by Thor for various energy crystals, which he then stuffed into his mouth.

Afterwards, he hunted a group of wild camels nearby, took a nap, and only after adjusting his body to its peak condition did he rush straight into the depths of the wilderness with a thunderous roar.

Before long, a winding river came into view, followed by that familiar narrow oasis.

The enormous commotion and terrifying pressure swept across the entire oasis like a hurricane, causing the young dragons to raise their heads in terror as they stared at the crimson "shooting star" streaking across the sky, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests.

"What is that thing?! It feels so terrifying!"

Zephyr swallowed hard. Even though the other party was long gone, the lingering pressure still made him feel uneasy.

Verex shook his head. Ever since the incident at the Great Glacier, he seemed to have suffered a great blow and had become taciturn.

A slender figure emerged from between the tree branches, its green scales shimmering like jade in the sunlight, and gazed intently at the red light in the sky.

"That looks like... a red dragon?"

Several years ago, after emerging from the dangerous underground, I witnessed the red dragon hatchling's defection. All the hatchlings immediately followed suit and scattered in all directions.

But not all baby dragons are as lucky as him. Most baby dragons are caught shortly after escaping, but he has not been discovered until now.

Tribeca was one of the unlucky ones, as were her two companions. The three green dragon hatchlings temporarily banded together to better survive in the wilderness, but they were still wiped out in one fell swoop.

Most of the black dragon hatchlings were captured and brought back, with only one still roaming outside.

Only a small portion of the white dragon cubs were captured. After all, the harsh environment of the Endless Glacier is the white dragons' absolute home ground, and it's not easy to find them there.

Of course, there is another possibility: they may have already died somewhere in the wild before the capture team arrived, which is why they could not be found.

Only the red dragon was not captured. Not only the leading monster, but also its two henchmen disappeared without a trace.

Are the red dragons truly more favored by Her Majesty Tiamat? Why are they even more adept at escaping?

From then on, Tribes paid more attention to the universally acknowledged leader of the five-colored dragons. When she saw the red light streaking across the sky, she immediately and instinctively associated it with the red dragon.

Upon hearing this, the other blue dragon hatchling immediately shook its head, seemingly to hide its nervousness, and said with a loud, dry laugh.

"This is the territory of the great Stormfang. What fearless red dragon would dare to come here?"

Even if it truly was a red dragon, Lord Kalendak would have its wings broken, its head severed, and its corpse hung on the city walls as a trophy to demonstrate his power.
