Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 685 I see signs of an old man in you, Flame King Dragon.
In nature, some species have females who are actually stronger than males in terms of size and fighting ability.

The most typical example is the hyena family, where females dominate.

In the ancient Teostra family, male Teostras are the type that get bullied by their wives.

Just as Cheng Tian arrived on the new continent, the Flame King Dragon and Flame Consort Dragon couple were awakened by the initial resonance of the Sun God Gem fragments. However, their first reaction was to breathe on their "husband/wife," thinking that the other had done something.

It's not that they're not intelligent; it's just that this is the underlying logic of felines. And compared to ordinary felines that dare to face even the greatest impacts, the Teostra and Lunastra couple certainly have the right to hiss.

Once the Spinosaurus enters its breathy Spinosaurus state, a quarrel between the couple is inevitable, and almost without suspense, Teostra gets beaten up.

I pinned him to the ground and beat him senseless!

Whether it was out of sheer spite, being kicked out of the house by his wife, or both, Teostra left the "Elder Recess" and came to the Wildspire Waste, an area that, while not ideal, had a reasonably comfortable temperature.

When facing his wife, Teostra always suffers, which is understandable. However, when facing other creatures, Teostra's dominance as a walking calamity is fully demonstrated.

It didn't even show any hostility; it simply lay on the sand dune, leisurely looking left and right, and all the creatures in the entire desert area quickly ran away.

As for those that were destined to survive... they were already cooked through by the high-temperature changes caused by it.

The terror of a walking natural disaster is truly terrifying.

Its mere existence has already caused a dramatic change in the surrounding ecology; at least for now, the desert area has become a scene where no other organisms can survive.

Cheng Tian's main quest progress also reached 100% the moment the existence of the Teostra was confirmed, and subsequent changes occurred immediately.

[Your main quest "The Walking Calamity" has reached 100% progress; the subsequent main questline has officially begun.]

Your main quest "Walking Calamity" has been changed to "Blazing Sun".

[Main Quest, Team Quest. You have successfully discovered an Elder Dragon—Teamdrake—by tracking its footprints. This dragon is capable of causing a surge in ambient temperature and devastating damage to species in the area.]

To maintain the normal ecosystem, please find a way to defeat or subdue Teostra and identify and resolve the root cause of its ecological damage.

The final rewards will be distributed through the guild based on the methods and extent of your chosen completion.

[Additional Tip 1: Teostra and its consort usually appear in pairs. When you encounter one Teostra, there will almost certainly be a Lunastra in the same area. Defeating or hunting the Teostra will most likely trigger the appearance of Lunastra.]

[Additional Hint 2: The Teostra couple, who came to the New World through the "Ancient Dragon Crossing" phenomenon to reproduce, are experiencing infertility due to a unique reason that only you might understand, coupled with an abnormal dragon vein. Perhaps you could try to investigate from this angle.]

"So it really is bronchitis, and it even has jewels on it..."

Although he was somewhat prepared, Cheng Tian still couldn't help but pinch his forehead when he saw the gem on the Teostra's forehead.

Since the Teostra has gems, the Lunastra, which is somewhere, probably also has gems.

"Do it? Now? Right here?"

At some point, the Grand Master, who had been taking Cheng Tian's words as important reference material, posed three soul-searching questions. The veins on his arm, which was carrying the Aether Crystal, were visibly bulging, as if he were ready to throw it at any moment. "No, don't rush, let me try to make contact first."

After calming down the slightly excited leader, Cheng activated his template skills.

As mentioned before, the Beast Tamer is essentially the beast taming version of the Chariot Master. It helps Cheng Tian and his pet beast units become as seamless as extensions of each other, with a deep understanding between them.

To put it simply, it's about the relationship between him and the war elephant mammoth. Previously, it was due to a bug with the biological chariot, but this time it's a proper connection of skills.

At the same time, being a skilled animal tamer will make wild animals have a higher natural affinity for Cheng Tian. Even if they are not tamed or form a bond, they are more likely to become "friends of wild animals".

Among the many Elder Dragons, Teostra is a rather special individual. Unlike most dragons that must enter battle mode once they have made eye contact with each other, Teostra, as the king, is surprisingly tolerant of other species.

Unless there is a provocative stare or overly intense physical contact, even if a hunter who has slain countless dragons is only an arm's length away, Teostra will only look at the hunter with curiosity rather than make the first move.

Cheng Tian confirmed this multiple times during the Teostra quest in the game called "Blazing Sun".

However, Cheng Tian's current situation is still somewhat special because he and Yan Wanglong are both holders of fragments of the Sun God Gem!
The destiny of those who possess the Sun God Gem fragments is to plunder and assimilate each other... At least that's what Cheng Tian always thought before experiencing "The King of Fighters MUGEN".

The situation between Cheng Tian and Kyo Kusanagi, who was also a fragment holder, made Cheng Tian change his mind.

Instead of a life-or-death struggle for the gems, the two sides engaged in a peaceful and unhurried exchange before finally completing the handover of the gems. One of them even received a pair of Kusanagi gauntlets as a gift.

So here's the question: Kusanagi can use the Sun God Gem fragments as an external force without being corrupted by it, so can Teostra do the same?

Cheng Tian could sense the aura of the Sun God from the Flame King Dragon, and so could the Flame King Dragon.

So when she noticed Cheng Tian approaching directly, her previously lazy expression gradually turned serious, her big eyes staring straight at Cheng Tian, ​​her heart filled with doubt and vigilance.

What's puzzling is why this little guy has a similar burning aura to my wife.

What's alarming is... this little one's burning aura is even stronger than his own wife's!
The Teostra, which is very tolerant of other creatures, slowly got up and arched its back.

As a walking natural disaster, Teostra is indeed one of the few creatures that can tolerate other species to the greatest extent. Of course, whether it gets roasted to death is someone else's problem, but there is a premise here: those tolerated species are lower species that will not affect Teostra's ecological niche.

In the perception of the Teostra, the tiny Cheng Tian was actually a small-sized Ancient Dragon unit with a power form similar to its own!

At that moment, both Cheng Tian and Yan Wanglong's foreheads became highlighted.

With a typical feline roar, the Teostra, having sprayed a large amount of explosive dust, pounced on Cheng Tian.

But the next second, an even more ferocious roar erupted from Cheng Tian's wrist—

A massive, crimson gourd spontaneously emerged from the Bond Stone, its terrifying maw wide open, and charged fearlessly toward Teostra!
