Chapter 10, Template 1
Anger, jealousy, hatred, plus an overwhelming sense of envy and greed.
The negative emotions surging in Sistana and Calp's eyes as they looked at Thor were almost overflowing. If given the chance, they certainly wouldn't mind pouncing on him and biting him a few times.
The growing size difference acted as an invisible barrier, preventing them from daring to approach. They could only grimace and arch their backs, resembling two angry wildcats, stubbornly shouting.
"You damned bastard, who wants to eat your rotten flesh!"
"We ate a lot outside a long time ago, we're not hungry at all!"
Thor gave a noncommittal chuckle, his eyes gleaming with undisguised mockery.
Words may lie, but the fleeting hint in his eyes of the increased number of spiritual essence fragments was undeniable.
Soon, the balance displayed above exceeded 10 points, and Thor licked the last bit of meat off the deer leg.
He casually tossed the white bone club aside, and it landed on the ground with a soft thud. Overwhelmed with excitement, he stepped into the corner of the cave where he usually stayed.
The dragon crystals he drew previously have already greatly helped Thor's growth. If he can draw a suitable biological template this time, it will definitely bring about a qualitative leap.
As the 10 points of spiritual essence transformed into a streak of starlight and crashed into the giant turntable, the two outer layers began to slowly rotate.
A bright light, like a chaotic neon light, flickered around on the turntable, finally settling steadily on a small square. Upon closer inspection, a pterosaur was sketched in simple lines within the square.
[Congratulations on obtaining the Pteranodon template. Do you wish to withdraw your winnings immediately? Yes/No.]
[Note: Loading must be completed immediately after withdrawal. Low matching or conflicting energy attributes may cause loading failure and lead to adverse consequences.]
Current match rate: High.
Information about the pterosaur flashed through Thor's mind.
This is a small pterosaur that is about four or five meters long and has a wingspan of six or seven meters. Its body is covered with scales that gradually change from dark blue to light green. It has a magnificent crest on its head and mainly inhabits ancient forests. It is an omnivorous small pterosaur.
Thinking about this, Thor couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because it was a rather ordinary creature, not much different from the pterosaurs in reality.
In the game, they are mostly either food for other monsters or they are used to carry game characters across different maps.
Wait! Flying across different maps?
Thor's eyes suddenly lit up as he realized he had overlooked a crucial point.
An adult male hunter weighs at least 70 kilograms, and with his full-body armor and ridiculously large greatsword, his total weight would probably be between 200 and 300 kilograms.
However, this small pterosaur was able to carry a fully armed hunter for dozens or even hundreds of kilometers, which shows how exaggerated its flight ability was.
If the extracted creature templates can also perform in the game, then...
Thor eagerly focused his attention on the lit icon and selected "Withdraw Now" without hesitation.
A hazy halo appeared out of nowhere, and within it, one could vaguely see the silhouette of a pterosaur soaring with outstretched wings.
It was like a shapeless spirit, its eyes, radiating white light, staring back at Thor's pale golden pupils.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. It felt like a very long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a short instant. Suddenly, the ball of light in front of them lunged forward and rushed into Thor's body.
It was like a surge of heat exploding inside his body, and at the same time, tiny subtitles kept flashing before Thor's eyes.
[The pterosaur template has been successfully loaded and is currently being merged.]
[Sharp teeth and claws, tough scales, omnivorous digestive system, dual respiratory organs...etc., compared to the main body, this version is too outdated and has been optimized into pure life energy.]
The strong wings have been preserved.
Flexible flight has been retained.
Please prepare enough food in the coming days to meet the needs of your body modification.
……
Thor felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, warm and cozy, especially the wings on his back, which were burning hot.
Fortunately, red dragons are born with extremely high fire resistance, and I've never heard of any dying from the heat. The higher the temperature, the more comfortable they feel.
The fawn he had just eaten had already been mostly digested, and the remaining small portion was completely digested in an instant by the surging heat.
The body continuously absorbs abundant nutrients and energy, and the wings on its back resemble two thirsty mouths, frantically gulping down energy.
Beneath the bright red scales, the muscle outlines on the wings gradually became clearer, and the wing metacarpals and wing phalanges were also gradually stretching.
Just a short while later, Saul felt a pang of hunger in his stomach.
The wings on his back had expanded, and the eagle bones and dragon ulna bones on his shoulder blades had become very thick, even surpassing the limbs below.
With a powerful flap of its wings, the tough membrane instantly billowed out a large amount of air, producing a muffled "bang".
A powerful reaction force propelled his body, causing him to fly up from the spot.
It's important to know that most dragons and birds need to push off the ground with their legs to gain enough lift in the initial stages before taking off, let alone fledglings whose wings are not yet fully developed.
Those who can take off from the spot are either exceptionally skilled in magic or extremely adept at flying.
Red dragons do not belong to either of these two categories. Although they have the largest wingspan among the colored dragons, they also have a top-notch weight and are better at straight-line sprints and long-distance runs.
In terms of flying skills, the strongest of the five dragons is actually the black dragon, which is as thin as a skeleton.
Even without magic, they can hover in the air like hummingbirds, demonstrating superb flying skills.
……
"My current wingspan ratio has definitely surpassed that of most red dragons of the same size, and can be compared with those mutated individuals."
Thor excitedly flapped the wings on his back, trying to keep himself airborne in the cave.
These wings not only allow him to gain full flight ability earlier, but the ability to take off from the spot also allows him to get away from the ground more quickly and avoid sudden dangers.
Just for that alone, those ten points of spiritual essence were well spent. Moreover, judging from the subtitles that appeared, it seemed that even more abilities had been transformed into pure life force.
Is it those warm currents that keep your body feeling cozy? And what effects do they have?
Unaware of the other changes, Thor soon succumbed to his hunger and, before dawn, burst out of the cave in a whirlwind.
The moment he flew out of the cave, the vast sky and earth filled him with a sense of liberation, and he unconsciously flapped his wings vigorously, climbing higher and higher into the sky.
Compared to before when he could only glide at a height of one or two hundred meters, he now felt as if his flight had no altitude limit and he could keep climbing upwards.
However, a cool night breeze blew by, instantly clearing his head, which had been feverish from excitement, and quickly brought it down.
Even though his flying ability has improved and his survival ability has been greatly enhanced, he is still far inferior to some ferocious creatures that inhabit the high sky.
"Keep a low profile! Keep a low profile! Once I get the template for the Sky Comet Dragon, I will definitely trample all creatures under my feet."
