Chapter 39 Wolf and Tiger (2 in 1)
"Be obedient, when you arrive in Chicago, you can take the train back to Edmond, and Bob will accompany you back." James said patiently to the angry O'Hara.
O'Hara, who was no longer a little girl, seemed to want to try harder, and continued to say with a bit of coquettishness: "You can take me to find Victor, the war in the north is going well now, and there is someone here, so it must be fine of!"
James shook his head unquestionably. After bidding farewell to President Lincoln in Washington, he went southward. On the one hand, he was looking for Victor. At the same time, he also looked at the current situation in southern America, and made a survey on the later purchase of land and industrial layout.
But after all, the war is not over yet, and the search for Victor is likely to encounter dangers beyond expectations.
Whether Victor was influenced by vampires, what role Adam played in this matter, and the remnants of the blood race he might encounter, etc., so it is ridiculous to take a woman to the southern states.
Seeing that things were not going to work, O'Hara could only turn to begging James to play in Illinois for a few days before going to Chicago to take the train back to the manor. James thought it would be a few days before he agreed.
The town of Joliet is not far from Chicago, and it has developed rapidly in recent years. It will soon reach the city-level scale. There is also a train in the town that can go directly to Arkansas. Now James has a certain "sweeping building" quality. Go to Wherever I saw land and cities worth investing in, I couldn't help thinking about whether I should buy a piece of land or something.
There were five of them including the coachman, and they stayed in a relatively quiet hotel in Joliet Town, which was far from the town center. It is said that a **** next to the hotel is the best place to watch the sunset in the whole town.
Under the strong recommendation of the innkeeper, James brought O'Hara here for a picnic, had afternoon tea, and waited for the sunset together.
The other three old men from the Howlett family met to go to the most lively bar in town to relax and leave their private time to them.
"James, why do I feel like you haven't changed?" O'Hara held her cheeks and watched James peel an apple for her.
"What can I change, how long have you known me, what nonsense."
"No, it's just that the appearance hasn't changed. Look, if you shave off your beard, you'll look the same as when you were twenty. Look, your skin is still so thin." O'Hara gesticulated on James' face, From time to time, I touch my face to compare something.
The fruit knife in James' hand paused, and he casually denied it. O'Hara clamored to ask him to shave tomorrow, and the two were joking and joking, when suddenly James' expression changed, and he took a deep breath in a strange way.
"O'Hara, go back to the room immediately!" This is the second time O'Hara saw James like this, the last time was those horrible blood-sucking monsters, she seemed to understand and hurriedly turned and ran to the hotel, but The distance of a few hundred meters is not too far. With this first experience, she was at ease about James' personal safety.
James got up and looked at a forest in the south. He couldn't believe the smell he smelled. The smell was still a little far away. His nose now has a very keen perception of some smells marked in his memory.
It smells a lot like Victor, but it must not be the one he is familiar with.
The sun was slanting toward the woods as the sun set, and James waited patiently. After a while, a figure was gradually elongated, and Victor walked out of the woods, looking at James from a distance.
"It's good, so I don't have to run so far and go to Edmond to find you." Victor seemed to talk more.
"What did you do?" James' eyes became a little scary, and Victor's smell became very similar to Adam's. It seemed that the two breaths were entangled together, and there was some fresh blood smell.
Victor shrugged his shoulders noncommittally: "I did what you didn't finish."
"You accepted the power of Adam."
"No, it took away his power, all of it." Victor grinned, his eyes began to change, not all dark pupils like Adam's, but bright yellow whites, a little black pupils , that is the tiger's eye.
"Aww!"
A roar exploded in Victor's chest, and the hairs on James' body stood up for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Victor seemed to have countless wriggling creatures trying to get out of his body, writhing under his skin, his figure began to grow taller, and his clothes were torn.
Ka Ka Ka! The teeth-stinging bone rubbing sound continued, and the phalanges and nails of his ten fingers protruded from the flesh, forming one body, becoming thicker, longer, sharper, and sharper than before.
The bone at the tip of the elbow also broke the skin, and grew into a cone-like exoskeleton more than ten centimeters long. Four huge canine teeth grew further, and brown hairs grew along the spine along with the back. He became taller than before, his muscles were integrated into one body, his skin was light khaki, with the texture of a rock, Victor became a real giant.
"Don't underestimate me, James." His vocal cords were like rough abrasives, making an unpleasant sound.
boom!
The grass around James was pressed to the ground. His heart was beating fast and violently, like an ignited engine, beating with flesh and blood to make a roar like a drum. The blazing high temperature radiated from his body, distorting the surrounding air , the half-length black hair was blown up by the turbulent air waves, beating rhythmically.
James looked at Victor with unprecedented indifference, without saying a word.
"Very good!" Victor opened his mouth excitedly and roared.
Boom! boom!
The two rushed towards each other at the same time, like two extremely fast steam trains, crashing towards each other like suicide.
Victor crouched on the grass, galloping and charging like a real beast. Every time he stepped on the ground, two deep pits were plowed out of the lawn. And James clenched his fists tightly, 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' fist hit each other at the same time. Victor took two steps back, and his chest was blasted into a blood pit ten centimeters deep, but he was not killed. Penetration, with Victor's current abnormal physical strength, this is an acceptable degree of injury. After taking all Adam's blood, his self-healing ability has also been significantly improved, and it seems to have surpassed James.
And James was slapped flying by Victor's huge force, the bones from his shoulders to his collarbone were shattered, and a large muscle was torn apart by Victor's tiger claws. After rolling twice on the ground, he stabilized his body and squatted halfway On the ground, he glanced at the bones and muscles that were healing, and his eyes were solemn like never before.
Victor twisted his neck, looked at his hands with satisfaction, and rushed forward again, without giving James more time to buffer.
The two wrestled together, their fists and claws were to the flesh, and they were both immortal. Every attack was a fatal injury. The howls of pain and excitement of the two played the best background music for this battle.
Bang! boom!
James' swinging fist was caught by Victor's tiger claws. Victor took the opportunity to turn and punch his elbow. The awl at the elbow pierced into James' right chest, bursting out a fist-like blood hole.
As long as Victor is close to James, he will still receive radiant damage like burning needles, but Victor doesn't care, allowing his skin and muscles to be corroded and ablated, and his self-healing ability is further improved , so that his body can keep up with the speed of this injury.
James is getting more and more disadvantaged. Victor's current physical attributes are stronger than those of Adam in his prime, especially the strength and explosive power of the saber-toothed tiger, which makes every attack James endures even with perfect fighting skills. Unloading and buffering still caused destructive damage to his body, which was the result of further strengthening and strengthening his body bones after his kung fu perfected.
Victor kept asking James the same thing for no apparent reason. Every question he asked was accompanied by a more violent attack. The flesh and blood on James almost regrown. After awakening the power of Wolverine, he Once felt powerless.
Crack bang! boom!
Victor completely gave up any defensive action, and took several punches in the chest from James. Victor, whose internal organs were ruptured, was spitting blood while accumulating energy to slap James on the head with two claws, and then He kicked him onto a boulder more than ten meters away.
One eyeball of James was shattered, his face could not be seen at all, his neck was broken in two, his chest cavity was sunken, and the boulder behind him was cracked inch by inch.
He vomited blood from time to time, and got up without strength for a while.
"Are you still refusing to accept yourself? What are you afraid of? Afraid of becoming like me!" Victor stepped forward slowly.
James squinted his good eye, and moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
"What do you want, Victor, this?"
Clumps of flesh worms squirmed in the flesh and blood of James' arm, and two pairs of bone claws nearly 30 centimeters long slowly protruded from between the finger bones, with mottled bumps and pale white.
His body healed quickly, and soon the broken eyeball also recovered.
James' pupils turned into olive shapes, which seemed to be emitting green light. His body exploded with strength again, and the pair of bone claws were like tempered steel knives.
"That's it! This is you!" Victor looked at James' bone claws and smiled maniacally. He felt the greatest happiness in his life, which was so pure and turbulent—he was finally not alone.
James clenched his fists, pressed against the bone claws, and shot at Victor.
When he was completely out of anger and showed his claws, it seemed that the strength and speed of his body had increased a bit, and his energy was more violent and surging. It seemed that his instinctive power should come from anger.
Shua!
The tiger claw shot by Victor was penetrated by James' bone claw, and he twisted his wrist instead, Victor's elbow joint, click! was twisted off. The saber-toothed tiger roared, seeing James hysterically piercing his body with the other bone claw.
ah! !
Every time James punches, he penetrates the bone claws deeply into Victor's body, and then the face of the fist will hit his muscles heavily, blasting out a meat pit with force, and punching more than a dozen punches in an instant, knocking Victor The huge body was destroyed into a rotten sieve.
boom! boom!
The saber-toothed tiger slammed twice with another uncontrolled tiger claw, hitting the side of James' head. James didn't care about the crisp sound of the cervical spine breaking, and smashed Vic with a bottom-up uppercut. What a wide jaw, the bone claws penetrated Victor's jaw, mouth, and pierced directly into the skull.
Victor's brain was traumatized, he staggered two steps as if he was drunk, blood was pouring out of his eyes, he lost his clear consciousness, he howled by instinct, and was clenched tightly by the tiger's paw pierced by James, the metacarpal bone was stuck Freed the bone claws, and turned it over forcefully, not caring about the pain.
Bang!
The bone claws on James' left hand were severed, and the three fractures were uneven, and the rosy bone marrow tissue between each bone claw could be seen.
He yelled in pain, squatted forward, and dodged behind Victor. At this time, Victor's reaction and speed were a little sluggish. After a moment of hesitation, James' right paw plunged into Victor's neck, and his left fist clenched. Even though the bone claw was broken, the blazing energy attached to the broken bone still penetrated into Victor's back, which happened to be pierced into Victor's spine.
Just then, an accident happened.
The bone marrow in James' broken bone claw and Victor's spinal cord were connected together by this extremely coincidental way. Both of them felt a suction force from each other, as if they were absorbing the other's bone marrow tissue, that kind of bone marrow The pain of being separated out surpassed any moment when the two of them fought today.
The bone claw on the left arm and the spine on Victor's back began to grow flesh and bones, tightly wrapping the connection together, forming a solid flesh tissue.
They howled in pain at the same time, instinctively using all the strength in their bodies, trying to absorb the bone marrow of each other, James restrained all the strength in his body, years of boxing practice allowed him to quickly grasp his own blood, he could clearly I felt that there was a continuous stream of energy-filled substances flowing from Victor's body into his bones.
It was a pleasure of expanding strength, and the bones of his whole body were quickly filled with abundant heat, and then overflowed. James' bone cells began to rapidly divide, die, and regenerate.
Soon all the bones in the whole body were completely replaced, becoming thicker and tougher, which greatly exceeded the density level of the general bone structure.
His bones began to have a new structural shape. The original spine became three interlaced helical columns, with an alternative biomechanical aesthetic. Similar changes were constantly going on throughout James' body. Then there is the regeneration of flesh and blood cells, and the replacement of skin tissue and hair tissue.
The bone claw of the right hand became thicker and longer, and grew out of the phalanx of the fist face. The skin of the forearm was torn open, and white jade-colored bone proliferated from it, forming a shape similar to an arm shield, wrapping From the fist to the elbow, the new bone claws protruded from 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 elbow was as sharp as Victor's. There are thick, long and sharp bone cones.
His bone texture became closer to a metal state, and there were only sporadic mottled knots on the sharp claws and arm shield.
In addition to the power absorbed from Victor's bones, there is also a part of the liquid that feels cold and melts into the body. Unlike Victor's bone marrow, that substance can perfectly integrate with James without any rejection and enter the body. A dark bloodthirsty emotion came to mind, James had absorbed too much new power, he could no longer control his body qi and blood as freely as before, and the kung fu realm of martial arts fell from Huajin.
Victor's body visible to the naked eye is shrinking. His figure of nearly 2.4 meters is slowly shrinking, his thick and broad shoulders are gradually becoming thinner, the hair and beard on his head are rapidly turning pale, and his skin is gradually wrinkling. relaxation.
The flesh and blood tissue that the two were forced to grow together quickly disappeared after James absorbed it. Victor lay on the ground like a dying old man dying. His eyes turned gray and his lips were slightly closed.
James' whole body was filled with explosive force that he could not control, and the bone claw on his left arm proliferated into the same shape as his right arm, but he knelt down beside Victor powerlessly, looking at Victor's face with a dull expression. face, his lips squirmed slightly, and James moved closer unconsciously.
".Thanks. Thank you Jamie"
James was a little flustered and didn't know how to face this situation. What Victor wanted was for him to face up to his own truth, and what he wanted was for both sides to put aside all concerns and fight to their heart's content.
Even with such a result, Victor seems to be satisfied. He has found the same kind, and he has also found a truly hearty battle.
His eyes were more complicated than ever before, a little unwilling, but deeply satisfied and relieved, the corners of his wrinkled and dry mouth raised upwards, the sun was finally going down, and the setting sun shone on Victor's face, he smiled happily up.
This is the first time in his life that the saber-toothed tiger Victor Logan laughed.
