Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template

Chapter 37, Biological Template

Watching the young dragons depart one after another, Thor began to ponder his next move.

Next, he will probably have to stay in this area for quite some time, until he grows into infancy or adolescence, before he is forcibly conscripted to fight to the death with the alien race in order to expand the territory of that damned blue dragon.

To make his life more comfortable in the days to come, the first thing he needed to do was find a place and build a suitable nest.

Thor's gaze fell upon the raised Gobi Desert face beneath his feet, and he felt that this place was quite nice—the altitude was sufficient, the view was wide open, and the rusty red color was just right for the Red Dragon's aesthetic.

He called to the two fledglings and patrolled back and forth along the cross-section of the Gobi Desert. Before long, he found a suitable spot and began to dig with his claws.

A true dragon's claws are sharp and hard, even in its juvenile stage they are comparable to a +1 magic weapon.

There are no hard rocks on this raised Gobi Desert, only dry and tough clay, which is easy to dig.

Soon, the three baby dragons burrowed into the Gobi Desert, and from the outside, only their three tails could be seen swaying back and forth.

Thor plans to dig out a building similar to the cave dwellings on the Loess Plateau in his previous life. This structure is not only simple and easy to build, but also has a large space, which is just right to accommodate his rapidly growing body.

The three fledglings worked from noon until sunrise the next day, finally managing to dig out a huge cave that was 4 meters wide, 6 meters deep, and nearly 3 meters high.

This size is more than enough for Thor, who is 16 feet long, to live in temporarily.

If they continue digging, even though this entire Gobi Desert is composed of stable clay, there is still a risk of collapse.

Thor surveyed his new home with satisfaction, then flicked his tail and whipped Sistana and Kalp away.

We were crammed into the same cave before because of the limited space, so that we could react as quickly as possible in case of danger.

Now that he can guarantee basic safety, why would he want to squeeze into the same hole with those two idiots again?

This sudden action stunned Sistana and Kalp, who tumbled out of the cave before they realized what had happened and were instantly enraged.

"Damn it, you want to have the cave all to yourself?"

"We contributed to digging this tunnel; two-thirds of it should belong to us. You can't do this!"

Thor proudly raised his head, looking disdainfully at his two cheap blood relatives, and growled.

"Serving your great brother is your honor; do you expect any reward?"

Upon hearing this, Sistana and Calp gritted their teeth in fury, their anger reaching a fever pitch.

It is the nature of dragons to bully the weak, and what can they do when they are outmatched? They can only reluctantly choose another place nearby and dig their own lair.

Even so, they dared not stray too far from Thor.

Those blue dragons, black dragons, and green dragons were no benevolent creatures. If it weren't for Thor's support, given their smaller size, they would likely have been ravaged at will.

"Damn it! When I grow up, I'll make him my most lowly slave and whip him every day!"

"Calp, come here right now! It's time to show your loyalty to your great elder sister and dig me a hole bigger than Thor's!"

"Stop dreaming, you idiot! You're the one who should be digging!"

"You jerk! Do you want a beating?"

"Who's afraid of who? Try it if you dare!"

……

Thor ignored the bickering and fighting of the two idiots not far away, comfortably lying down in the newly dug cave, his mind focused on the huge turntable in his mind.

Thanks to the "contribution" of those twenty-odd baby dragons, he was finally about to become rich. He immediately exchanged for a dragon crystal and a piece of burning coal, and began to happily gnaw on it.

In just over an hour, I gained 5 points of essence, something I would never have dared to dream of before.

When he becomes truly wealthy, he'll eat some dragon crystals and discard the rest, piling them all up in his lair to create a magical version of the Dragon Crystal Land.

Envisioning a bright future, Thor glanced at the remaining essence points below the roulette wheel and, finding he had more than ten points left, began to ponder how to use them.

Should I keep saving it until I have enough to draw a low-level monster template once?

Or should we extract environmental organisms again to further enhance our current strength?

After a brief moment of thought, he realized that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Those young dragons certainly won't let this go, and they'll most likely come looking for trouble in the short term. It's best to focus on improving his strength first and playing it safe.

Once the decision was made, ten points of essence were transformed into starlight and cast into the second-level turntable. The neon-like lights twinkled and finally stopped on a square with a simple bat pattern.

Congratulations! You have obtained the [Scaled Bat Creature Template]. Do you wish to withdraw your funds immediately? Yes/No.

Thor recalled information about the creature in his mind; as its name suggests, it was a bat covered in scales.

However, it is not a mammal, but is classified as a small flying dragon.

He glanced at the matching score below, which was a staggering 76%.

Speaking of which, the three biological templates he extracted all had a very high degree of matching. Was this just good luck, or was it because the bloodline of a true dragon inherently has a very strong inclusiveness?

After all, even true dragons like red dragons and silver dragons, which are not only from opposing factions but also have completely opposite attributes, can interbreed and produce offspring.

Not to mention the various miscellaneous dragons and subspecies, with new species emerging almost every year, the number of which is simply countless.

If it's truly because of strong bloodline tolerance, or even strong aggression, then it's good news for him.

This way, you don't have to worry about extracting a powerful biological template in the future, only to find that it fails to load successfully due to insufficient compatibility with your own.

While pondering, Thor mentally selected to withdraw the money immediately.

A ball of light, seemingly enveloping the spirit of a scaled bat, instantly appeared in the air and crashed into his mind.

A familiar warm current began to surge through my body, and a large number of light blue notification subtitles reappeared before my eyes.

[Successfully fused with the Scaled Bat creature template. Its sharp teeth, claws, and tough scales... are too weak compared to your current body and have been converted into pure life force.]

[Echolocation has been preserved]

[Aerial skills have been retained]

Bats are among the best at flying among all flying creatures.

Thanks to their unique wing structure, they are able to perform complex dives, hovering, vertical ascents and descents, and even backwards, among other difficult maneuvers.

Soon, Thor felt his broad wings begin to heat up, and the wing bones supporting the wing membrane gradually stretched and lengthened, with more joints and becoming increasingly complex.

The ears on both sides of the head were also buzzing, and two small wing-like outer ears gradually grew out of the originally bare ear canals.
