"Obedient, when you get to Chicago, you will take the train back to Edmond, and Bob will accompany you back." James said patiently to the grumpy O'Hara.

O'Hara, who is no longer a little girl, seems to want to work harder, and continues to say with a little coquettishness: "You can take me with you to find Victor, now that the war in the north is very good, and with you, it will definitely be fine!" ”

James shook his head undoubtedly, and after Washington bid farewell to President Lincoln, he took advantage of the situation to go south, on the one hand, to find Victor, and at the same time to look at the current situation in the southern United States, and to make a survey of the land purchased and industrial layout in the later period.

But after all, the war is not over, and the search for Victor is likely to encounter more danger than expected.

Whether Victor was influenced by the vampires, what role Adam played in this matter, and the possibility of encountering the remnants of the Bloods, etc., so it is ridiculous to take a woman to the southern states.

Seeing that things could not be done, O'Hara could only beg James to play in Illinois for a few days and then go to Chicago to take the train back to the manor.

The town of Joliette is not far from Chicago, and it has developed rapidly in recent years, and it will soon reach the scale of a city, and there is a train in the town that can go directly to Arkansas.

The group of five men, including the coachman, took up a stay in a quieter inn in the town of Joliette, far from the centre of the town. It is said that a slope next to the inn is the best place in town to watch the sunset.

On the strong recommendation of the innkeeper, James brought O'Hara to the place for a picnic, had afternoon tea, and waited for the sunset.

The other three Howlett buddies met up to relax at the busiest bar in town, leaving them with private time.

"James, I don't think you seem to have changed." O'Hara cupped her cheeks as she watched James peel an apple for her.

"What can I do, how long have you known me, what stupid things to say."

"No, it's just that the appearance hasn't changed, you see, if you shave your beard, it's the same as when you were twenty years old, you see your skin is still so fine..."

The fruit knife in James' hand paused, and he casually denied it. O'Hara was joking and saying that he was going to let him shave tomorrow, and the two were laughing and joking, when suddenly, James's face changed, and he took a deep nose with some strange surprises.

"O'Hara, get back to your room, now!" This was the second time O'Hara had seen James like this, the last time it was those terrible vampire monsters, and she seemed to have understood something and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the inn, only a few hundred meters away, not too far. With her first experience, she was reassured of James' personal safety.

James got up and looked at a grove to the south, he couldn't believe what he was smelling, it was still some distance away, and his nose was now sensitive to some of the smells that had been marked out in his mind.

It tasted a lot like Victor, but it certainly wasn't the one he was familiar with.

The sun shone slantingly into the woods as the sun approached sunset, and James waited patiently. After a while, a figure was gradually elongated, and Victor came out of the woods, looking at James from afar.

"It's good that I don't have to travel that far to find you in Edmond." Victor seems to have talked a little more.

"What did you do?" James's eyes became a little terrifying, and Victor's smell became very similar to Adam's, as if the two breaths were entangled together, and there was some fresh blood gas.

Victor shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said, "Did what you didn't finish." ”

"You accepted the power of Adam."

"No, it's taking away his power, all." Victor grinned, and his eyes began to change, not all dark pupils like Adam, but bright yellow whites, a little pitch-black pupils, which were the eyes of a tiger.

"Whew!"

A roar exploded in Victor's chest, and for a moment the cold hairs on James' body rose to the roots.

Victor then seemed to have countless wriggling creatures in his body trying to get out, churning under his skin, his body began to rise in height, and his clothes were torn.

Click! The tooth-aching sound of bones grinding against each other continued to sound, and the phalanges and nails of the ten fingers of his hands pierced out of the flesh together, forming one, thicker and longer than before, sharp and sharp.

The bones at the tip of the elbow also broke through the skin, growing into a cone-like exoskeleton more than ten centimeters long, four large canine teeth grew further, and the back and hair grew along the spine with brown hairs. He became taller than before, his muscles were unified, his skin was a faint earthy yellow, and he had the texture of a rock, and Victor became a real behemoth.

"Don't underestimate me, James." His vocal cords were like a rough scrub, making an unpleasant sound.

Bang!

The grass around James was pressed to the ground, his heart beat violently like a igniting engine, beating like a drum with flesh and blood, the blazing heat emanated from his body, distorting the air around him, and his half-length black hair was blown up by the agitated air waves, beating rhythmically.

James looked at Victor with a cold look that he had never said before, and didn't say a word.

"Good!" Victor opened his mouth excitedly and yelled.

Rumble! Rumble!

The two rushed towards each other at the same time, like two extremely fast steam trains, crashing into each other like suicidal.

Victor crouched on the grass, galloping and charging like a real beast, and with each kick, the lawn was plowed into two deep pits. And James clenched his fists, and his footwork was extremely explosive, as if there was a gunpowder explosion on the soles of his feet.

The distance between the two disappeared in an instant, Victor's tiger claws and James's fist slammed into each other at the same time, Victor took two steps back, and a blood pit ten centimeters deep was blasted in his chest, but it was not penetrated, with the strength of Victor's current body perversion, this is an acceptable level of injury, and he who captured all Adam's source blood, his self-healing ability has also improved significantly, and it seems that he has surpassed James.

And James was slapped away by Victor's huge force, the bones from his shoulder to his collarbone were shattered, and the large muscles were torn apart by Victor's tiger claws, he stabilized his body after rolling on the ground twice, half-squatting in place, looking at the bones and muscles that were healing, and his eyes were more dignified than ever.

Victor twisted his neck, looked at his hands with satisfaction, and pounced again, not giving James more time to buffer.

The two scuffled together, fists to flesh, each undead body, each attack was a fatal injury that left no trace of hands, and the screams of pain and excitement of the two played the best background music for this battle.

Bang! Rumble!

James' hook was caught by Victor's claws, and Victor took the opportunity to turn around and push his elbow, and the cone at the elbow pierced James's right chest, bursting into a fist-like bloody hole.

As long as Victor gets close to James, he will still be hit by his radiant damage like burning pins, but Victor doesn't care, allowing his skin and muscles to be corroded and melted, and further improving his self-healing ability, so that his body is enough to keep up with the speed of this damage.

"Why don't you accept yourself, why?"

James is falling more and more into the disadvantage, Victor's current physical attributes are stronger than Adam in his heyday, especially the strength and explosiveness of the saber-toothed tiger, so that every attack James bears even if he has perfect fighting skills to unload the buffer, it still causes devastating damage to his body, which is still the result of further improvement and strengthening of the body bones after his kung fu is integrated.

Victor kept asking James the same thing, seemingly for no reason, each of his questions was accompanied by a more violent attack, and the flesh and blood on James's body almost regrown, and after awakening Wolverine's power, he felt a trace of powerlessness for the first time.

Click! Bang!

Victor completely gave up any defensive action, and ate a few punches from James in the chest, and Victor, who was beaten and had broken internal organs, vomited blood, and at the same time charged two claws to slap James on the head, and then slammed him on a boulder more than ten meters away.

One of James' eyes was shattered, his face was completely invisible, his neck was broken in two, his chest cavity was sunken, and the boulder behind him cracked inch by inch.

From time to time, he vomited blood, and for a moment he had no strength to get up.

"Still refusing to accept yourself, what are you afraid of? I'm afraid to be like me! Victor stepped forward slowly.

James narrowed one of his intact eyes, his lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

"What do you want, Victor, this?"

James's arms were wriggled with clusters of flesh worms, and two pairs of bone claws nearly thirty centimeters long slowly pierced out from between the finger bones, mottled and gloomy on them.

His body healed quickly, and soon his broken eyeball recovered.

James's pupils turned into olive-shaped, seemingly glowing green, and his body once again erupted with energy, the pair of bone claws were like quenched steel knives.

"That's it! That's you! Victor looked at James's stabbed bone claws and laughed maniacally, he felt the greatest joy of his life, and this happiness was so pure and turbulent - he was not lonely at last.

James clenched his fists, clawed his bones, and blasted at Victor.

When he completely broke away from his anger and showed his claw thorns, it seemed that the strength and speed of his body had also increased a few points, and his strength was even more violent, as if his instinctive power should come from anger.

Swish!

Victor's claw was pierced by James's bone claw, he twisted his wrist backwards, Victor's elbow joint, click! It was twisted off. The saber-toothed tiger roared in rage, and watched as James hysterically stabbed his body with his other bone claw.

Yes!!!

With each punch, James deeply pierced Victor's body, and then the fist would slam into his muscles, blasting out a flesh pit with all his strength, and in an instant, he threw more than a dozen punches, destroying Victor's huge body into a mess.

Bang! Bang!

The saber-toothed tiger slammed twice with another uncontrolled tiger claw, hitting James on the side of the head, James didn't care about the crisp sound of the cervical vertebrae, and the bottom-up hook shattered Victor's broad jaw, and the bone claw penetrated Victor's jaw, mouth, and pierced into the skull.

Victor's brain was traumatized, he staggered two steps as if he was drunk, blood flowed from his eyes, he lost his consciousness, he screamed by instinct, and was violently clenched by James's pierced tiger palm, and his metacarpal bones were stuck in the bone claws, and he flipped hard without caring about the pain.

Quack!

The bone claw of James' left hand was broken alive, and the three fractures were uneven, and the ruddy bone marrow tissue between each bone claw could be seen.

He yelled in pain, squatted down, flashed behind Victor, at this time Victor's reaction and speed were a little sluggish, a little hesitation, James's right claw pierced Victor's neck, his left fist clenched, even if the bone claw was broken, but the broken bone bag was attached to the blazing energy, which still penetrated Victor's back, and happened to pierce Victor's spine.

That's when the unexpected happened.

The bone marrow in James' broken claw and Victor's spinal cord were connected in such a coincidental way, and both of them felt a suction surging from each other, as if they were sucking each other's bone marrow tissue, and the pain of the bone marrow being exacerbated was greater than at any other moment in the battle between the two of them today.

The bony claws of his left arm and the spine of Victor's back began to grow flesh and bone, tightly wrapping the junction together to form a solid body tissue.

They howled in pain at the same time, instinctively using all the power of their bodies, trying to absorb each other's bone marrow, James gathered the strength of his whole body, years of boxing practice allowed him to quickly grasp his qi and blood, he could clearly feel that from Victor's body, there were continuous streams of energy-filled substances flowing into his bones.

It was a thrill of expanding strength, and the bones of my whole body were quickly filled with abundant heat, and then overflowed. James' bone cells began to divide rapidly, die, and regenerate.

Soon, the bones of the whole body were completely replaced, and they became thicker and tougher, greatly exceeding the density level of the normal bone structure.

His skeleton began to take on a new structural form, and the original spine became three staggered spiral columns, with an alternative biomechanical beauty, similar changes continued throughout James's body. Then there is the regeneration of flesh and blood cells, the replacement of skin tissue and hair tissue.

The bone claws of the right hand became thicker and longer, growing between the phalanges that were separated from the fist surface, the skin of the forearm was cut out of the pores, and the white jade-colored bone proliferated from the inside, forming a shape similar to the arm shield, wrapping the fist to the elbow, the newborn bone claw pierced out of the arm shield, more than half a meter long, and three clusters of shark fin-like sharp barbs protruded from the arm shield, and the tip of the elbow was like Victor with a thick and sharp bone awl.

The texture of his bones had become more metallic, with only sporadic mottled knots on his claws and arm shields.

And in addition to the power absorbed from Victor's bones, there is also a part of the liquid that feels cold into itself, that kind of substance is not like Victor's bone marrow can be perfectly fused with James without rejection, after entering the body, a dark bloodthirsty emotion surged into his mind, James absorbed too much new power, he can no longer control the body's qi and blood as freely as before, and the martial arts kung fu realm has fallen from Huajin.

Victor's visible body shrank, his almost two-meter-four figure slowly shrank, his thick and broad shoulders slowly became narrower, the hair and beard on his head turned pale rapidly, and his skin gradually folded and slack.

The flesh and blood tissues that the two were forced to join together quickly necrosis and disappeared after James absorbed them, and Victor lay on the ground like an old man on the verge of death, his eyes turned gray and his lips slightly closed......

James's whole body was filled with explosive power that he couldn't control, and the bone claws of his left arm also multiplied into the same form as his right arm, but he knelt weakly beside Victor, looking at Victor's face with a somewhat dull face, his lips squirmed slightly, and James unconsciously leaned closer.

“... Thank... Thank you... Jamie..."

James is a little flustered and doesn't know how to deal with such a situation, Victor wants him to face up to his truth, and he wants both sides to abandon all their worries and fight to their heart's content.

Even with this outcome, Victor seemed satisfied, he found his kind, and he found a truly hearty battle.

His eyes were more complicated than ever, a little unwilling, but deeply satisfied and relieved, the corners of his wrinkled and chapped mouth rose upward, the sun was finally about to set, and the setting sun shone on Victor's face, and he smiled happily.

This is the first time in the life of the saber-toothed tiger Victor Logan that he has laughed.
