Chapter 134 Preparation
Chapter 134 Preparation
It possesses immense strength, agile reflexes, boundless magic power, wide-range breath attacks, physical defense formed by the fusion of metal and scales, and the power to ward off magic and resist magic granted by dragon-attribute energy.
At this moment, Thor felt a sense of complete fulfillment once again.
Even if no more monster templates are extracted afterward, with the current foundation alone, once it grows up, it will surely be able to occupy a place among all the evil dragons.
He stared at the dagger in his claws, now reduced to ordinary iron, and casually squeezed it. Flames surged forth, melting it into a pool of molten iron, which he carelessly spilled onto the ground.
The awakening of dragon attribute energy caused the challenge level in his personal profile to jump again, reaching 17+.
This is a height that many adult true dragons cannot reach, and it is a realm that weaker white dragons and brass dragons can never reach in their entire lives without the blessing of a fortuitous encounter.
Now, let alone his adoptive mother, Thor is not afraid at all even when facing the blue dragon known as Stormfang.
Perhaps when I become stronger and more confident, I will be able to return to the wilderness, kill that old guy, and take everything from him.
Thinking of this, Thor couldn't help but grin, revealing a ferocious smile. His white teeth gleamed with a metallic glint in the firelight surrounding him.
But soon, the hunger pangs in his stomach made him frown.
Dragon attribute energy is great in every way, except that it consumes too much. It seems that his daily food expenses will be significantly increased.
Only when one's bloodline is further purified and one's affinity for the elements is further enhanced can the magical elements drawn from the outside world fully meet the body's needs.
In Thor's perception, this moment was not far off; after his next slumber, his bloodline level would enter a new stage.
…………
Thor glanced at his essence balance in his mind and found that he had gained a dozen or so points while loading the Odogaron monster template.
The thousands of evil creatures under his command are like hens laying eggs, and every moment they will have some strong emotions towards him—whether it is worship, fear, or simple hatred, these will become the source of his essence.
However, this income also has a drawback: if one does not show up for a long time, the essence one can obtain will become less and less until it disappears completely.
After all, living things need novelty, and to evoke strong emotions in them, they must be stimulated constantly.
If it weren't for the fact that his current strength doesn't allow it, Thor would have wanted to establish a cult that worships him.
Legend has it that there is an ancient red dragon named Ashadron, who commands a cult called Nightfang Point, whose members madly worship and follow in her footsteps.
However, this guy's fate wasn't too good. After destroying a powerful kingdom, he was pierced through the heart by the Silver Dragon King.
Ultimately, he had to embed a Baloro demon named Amit into his body as a power source, leaving him with a humanoid scar with wings on his chest forever.
…………
Thor exchanged all of his remaining points for Dragon Crystals, an energy crystal formed from the convergence of planetary life force and ancient dragon life force, which is considered the best supplement for dragon-attribute energy.
As he stepped toward the platform at the cave entrance, the bright sunlight streamed down, and wisps of black smoke occasionally drifted from the flames burning around him, making him appear even more sinister and dangerous than before.
Now that everything is ready, it's time to head to the Underdark and collect our due from those black rats.
This trip may take quite a while, and before that, the affairs of the territory need to be arranged properly.
After the crops are harvested, how to store and consume them needs to be carefully planned.
The giant arena, which is not yet completed, must continue to be built. A plan also needs to be devised to deal with those caravans that may return at any time and those that have not yet passed through.
Thinking about this, Thor felt a headache coming on. His men all seemed to be idiots, and he couldn't find a single one who could share the workload with him.
The highest level of education these evil creatures, born in the wilderness, have ever received is probably prenatal education.
Being able to use a common language fluently is already considered intelligent; being able to write one's own name is even more of a sign of exceptional intelligence.
The only two exceptions are probably those beastmen who were originally human, and the long-lived gray dwarves.
They should have a high level of intelligence and have received some systematic education, so they may know how to manage those chaotic creatures.
But the problem that follows is that they lack strength and prestige. Even with Thor's orders, would his evil creatures really obey them willingly?
Thor felt that perhaps it was time to cultivate a true inner circle of his own.
At present, it seems that only those kobolds are worth cultivating. Should we give them a drop of dragon blood before their next slumber?
When the thought crossed his mind, Thor couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
To him, it was an insult to allow the blood of a great dragon to flow within the body of a lowly kobold.
Perhaps I should hold a grand gladiatorial contest, inviting numerous creatures to fight each other, so that the ultimate victor can become my first true companion in this world.
This method was undoubtedly more to Saul's liking. In the end, when it came to how to handle matters in the territory after his departure, he chose the simplest and most brutal approach—issuing warnings to all his men, instructing them to do their jobs properly, and that any disobedience would be dealt with one by one when he returned.
Once he made up his mind, Thor immediately spread his broad wings, leaving a long trail of flame and thin black smoke, and flew towards the camp where the gray dwarves were located.
According to the information from the Dragon's Legacy, the Underdark is like a giant maze, with all sorts of interconnected tunnels that sometimes expand to hundreds or thousands of feet high, and sometimes shrink so much that even a half-human can't pass through.
Without a suitable guide, finding the city of those black rats would be extremely difficult.
Moreover, having already decided to make a trip to the Underdark, he naturally wouldn't just vent his anger on those black rats and capture some slaves; he also planned to build a long-term trade route.
So before that, Saul decided to create a batch of specially made "business cards".
Using a thin sheet of metal as paper, he marked several landmark locations in this dark region beneath his territory, and then used these as references to draw a route leading to the surface fissures.
His widespread dissemination made his existence known throughout the Underdark, and the promise of the power and wealth one could obtain there, thereby attracting a large number of evil creatures.
Gold, silver, energy crystals, rare equipment, and power seeds that can enhance physical abilities—none of these matter to Thor.
What he needs is more passionate emotion and frenzied ambition; he wants to use the blood and souls of those evil creatures to forge his own legendary path.
