Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template

Chapter 64: Intermediate Monster Templates Are Beckoning

"What you say may have some merit, but unfortunately, in my eyes, your meager strength is utterly insignificant—why should I take three of you as a burden along?"

Thor's pale golden pupils reflected the flickering firelight, refracting a molten, scorching color as he looked down at the three green dragon hatchlings, his tone full of disdain.

The powerful sense of oppression was like an invisible mountain, causing the young dragons to involuntarily lower their heads, adopt a submissive posture, and even soften their breathing.

"As true dragon cubs, we also possess corresponding power and will never be a burden to you."

"In the following operations, we will follow your instructions completely and will absolutely not hold you back."

The voices of the three green dragons were as sweet as honey, and even the air was filled with a faint sweet fragrance, as if they wanted to soften the other party's toughness with this gentle breath.

Thor squinted noncommittally, clearly not taking these words to heart.

What do you mean by obeying orders the whole time? If I sent them to their deaths, would they really do it? They'd probably just run away the moment they encountered danger.

But then again, if he were to encounter an enemy he couldn't defeat, he would turn tail and run. At that point, he didn't believe that the three green dragons could outrun him.

"You had better keep your word. If you dare to try anything funny, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, Thor kicked Sistana and Kalp, who were rummaging through the pile of skeletons looking for valuables, and then turned and walked in the direction where Zhenbing had been.

The more than one hundred skeletons gave him nearly 30 points of mental essence, and now his balance has reached more than 60 points. If he uses them all to exchange for Big Explosion Barrels, he can get a full 12.

The explosive force of 12 barrels, each more than half a person tall and filled with high-explosive powder, piled together would probably be enough to collapse a low hill.

Therefore, Thor was not worried at all that they would fail to break the maze that covered the ground or destroy the passage through which the undead emerged.

His only concern was that an excessively powerful explosion would cause the entire underground cavern to collapse.

However, he had already devised a solution—the sand-lurking ability he obtained from the Sand Monster template, combined with his use of earth elemental energy, meant that as long as he wasn't hit head-on by falling boulders or buried too deep, he could always dig a way out.

Regardless, let's go back there and see how things go; maybe things will turn around.

Because of the effects of the Lock, although Thor had run at full speed for more than ten minutes, he hadn't actually run very far.

Along the way, they carefully avoided the skeletons and ghosts, and dealt with those they couldn't avoid quickly.

About half an hour later, they saw the solid ice lying on the ground again, and the cave from which skeletons and ghosts were constantly climbing out.

The cave was surrounded by a large number of orc corpses. Their originally gray-green skin had turned purplish-black, and their bodies were thin and stiff, clearly having had their life force drained.

A little further away, Thor even saw the corpse of a blue dragon hatchling. Its jewel-like blue scales had long lost their luster, and it lay stiff on the ground, lifeless.

Although he knew that some young dragons who couldn't see the situation would perish at the hands of the undead, Thor still felt a strange emotion welling up in his heart when the corpses were actually in front of him.

I can't say whether I'm happy or sad, I just feel sorry—this creature, which could have become a dominant force after reaching adulthood, died at the hands of the lowest level of the undead.

Several skeletons were surrounding the blue dragon's corpse, while a large number of ghosts floated in the air, circling and dancing with eerie steps, as if performing some kind of ritual.

Thor's knowledge of the undead was pitifully limited, so he naturally couldn't discern what they were doing. But he knew in his heart that if the enemy wanted to do something, simply destroying it was the right thing to do.

He looked back at the red and green dragons behind him, pointed forward with his claws, and gave the order in a barely audible voice.

"Go lure away those skeletons, go lure away the ghosts, hurry, go now!"

Upon hearing this, several baby dragons and young dragons reluctantly crawled out of their hiding place.

They glanced at the number of undead ahead, then at Thor's imposing yet ferocious massive body, and finally moved forward and darted out.

"Hey! Look here, even you dogs wouldn't eat this bone!"

"Monsters that defy the laws of nature, let me show you what true decay is!"

The flamboyant roar instantly attracted the attention of the undead. The innate hatred of the dead for the living made them rush forward without thinking.

However, some of the spirits remained, still dancing and performing the eerie ritual around the corpse of the blue dragon hatchling.

However, Thor no longer cared about this number—even if he added up all the ones that had been lured away before, he didn't really care.

The reason for sending these cheap blood relatives and the three green dragons to lure away the undead was simply to give them something to do.

After leaping from his hiding place, Thor flapped his nearly 40-foot wingspan on his back and glided low toward the blue dragon's corpse.

While in the air, his basal vessels began to function, and the dragon crystals he had previously consumed transformed into pure energy, flowing into his throat along with the magic power within him.

Orange-red flames descended from the sky, engulfing the undead before they could react.

The ghosts floating in the air melted away like snowflakes, while the skeletons crackled and popped as they burned like dry wood.

Even the corpse of the blue dragon hatchling on the ground began to rapidly curl its scales, and its tough skin was scorched, causing it to ooze fine oil.

Within seconds, the spirits surrounding the corpse were swept away.

Thor, who was flying in the air, did not fall down. He suddenly circled once and appeared above the void where the dead were emerging.

Dragons' innate dark vision allows them to see as clearly as if it were daytime, even in this dark underground cave.

Looking down, the cave, once blocked by Zhenbing and as deep as a mine, was now densely packed with the spirits of the dead climbing upwards.

"Damn it, this thing really does look like a mine. Did those brainless dwarfs dig around randomly and stumble upon something they shouldn't have touched?"

The thought flashed through his mind, Thor's chest swelled up, and he exhaled another scorching dragon breath, which poured down into the pit, which was only three or four meters in diameter.

Several undead that were about to climb to the cave entrance were hit by the flames and immediately fell down, flailing their arms and legs; some that clung tightly to the rock wall were burned to ashes by the heat.

With the constraints of this mine, the range of Thor's dragon breath was undoubtedly greatly extended.

Even so, he was still not satisfied. With a flick of his mind on the turntable, two pieces of pitch-black coal fell into his claws, were crushed into fine powder, and scattered down.

"Such a great opportunity, I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't make some money first! The intermediate monster template is just around the corner!"
