From the moment she kidnapped Erii, she became a roadblock.

Guan Luo held Erii's hand and noticed that Erii's shoulders were trembling slightly, so he took Erii's hand in return.

My hands are very cold.

He knew that the dragon blood had begun to erode Erii's body again, but Guan Luo was helpless, as his own body was also being eroded.

Guan Luo was well aware of this pain. As the concentration of the dragon blood reached an unbelievable level, the dragon blood was constantly transforming Guan Luo's body.

Like a knife, constantly scraping against the bones and muscles.

In just one day, Guan Luo's bones had grown considerably, with the spine being the most noticeable change. When Guan Luo moved his neck, one could faintly hear the sound of bones rubbing together.

The bones in the arms and thighs are thickening and their structure is changing. The extra bones at the joints form a structure that saves effort.

Guan Luo's body is transforming into a form suitable for fighting and killing—a humanoid dragon.

Once Guan Luo's physical transformation is complete, he will likely have a chance to unlock the Dragon Bone state!

With Guan Luo's bloodline, activating the Dragon Bone state shouldn't be difficult; a little more training should be enough.

Guan Luo also needs some conventional methods of fighting enemies. If he encounters a small fry, he has to use his Word of Power. Before long, he might really turn into a pure-blooded dragon.

……

Time seemed to stand still on the ship, far removed from society, the sky a timeless, clear blue.

The speed of the Nemoyah is being increased as much as possible.

However, Erii's health deteriorated day by day, and gray-black dragon scales had already climbed onto her slender arms.

He wasn't in good spirits either, looking a bit sickly, as he had focused all his energy on suppressing the dragon's blood.

These days, Erii lies in Guanluo's arms, doing nothing but foraging for food.

On sunny days, the commissioners on the Nemoyahe often saw two people nestled in a deckchair, quietly basking in the sun.

At this moment, Erii was like a sick kitten, rubbing her head against Guan Luo's chin from time to time.

This is also the first time in eighteen years that Erii has shown such vulnerability due to the dragonification phenomenon caused by the dragon's blood.

Even when Erii was in great pain, she would choose to endure it alone and show a strong attitude.

Now that she has Guan Luo, Erii can freely show her vulnerable side in front of him.

If the affinity panel is unlocked, Guan Luo will definitely see 100 affinity points.

And you can also see the favorability rating every now and then: +1, +1, +1...

Guan Luo held Erii's small hand in his own. On her wrist, where the sleeves had covered the area, he could already see the dragon scales spreading out.

……

In the morning, the sunlight was just right. This was the fourth day of the Nemoyah's voyage at sea. It had already crossed the southern edge of the Aleutian waters, and judging by the time, it should be arriving soon.

The flight path shifted south, and as we reached southwestern Oregon, the coastline began to appear in the distance, a dark, dense expanse.

The Nemoyahe gradually docked. This was not any port on the map, but a secret port belonging exclusively to the Kassel College.

The morning mist at the port had not completely dissipated, and several staff members on duty at the dock were yawning.

The duty officer spotted a ship approaching on the sea and quickly ran over to guide it to anchor.

The mission on the Nemoyah is complete, but Professor Mans has other tasks to complete, so he will remain on the ship.

Therefore, for the rest of the journey, Jiu Deyaji and Ye Sheng were responsible for escorting them.

Guan Luo was getting anxious because Erii was in very poor condition and couldn't wait for the boat to slowly dock.

With her legs braced, she grabbed Erii and jumped off the ship's side, landing on the dock.

Seeing this, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya Ji, who were behind them, had no choice but to jump down as well.

Mans on the boat waved to them and then did not continue to approach the shore.

The car is ready, a Ford Explorer.

Ye Sheng was driving, with Shudeya in the passenger seat and Guan Luo holding Erii in the back.

With a humming sound, the car started moving quickly.

The car drove north along the coastal highway, with the azure Pacific Ocean on the left and lush coniferous forests on the right.

Erii looked at the scenery outside the car window with curiosity, and gently rested her head on Guanluo's shoulder.

The scenery outside the car window gradually changed from pine forests to plains, and we passed through two small towns along the way.

After driving for about two hours, it was already broad daylight, and the Columbia River was left behind.

A city rises up ahead, with skyscrapers standing tall.

Portland, Oregon.

In the distance, you can also see snow-capped mountains.

Ye Sheng parked his car next to the terminal building, in a designated area.

A few cars were parked sparsely, and a white passenger plane was parked on the runway in the distance.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a group of people in special operations uniforms running over and surrounding the car, keeping watch around it.

They were all ordinary people, not mixed-race, and probably employees of a security company affiliated with the college.

Escorted by this group of people, they walked towards the private jet.

Some people in the distance saw this scene and, although curious, dared not approach.

Guan Luo and Erii boarded the plane smoothly; the interior of the cabin looked luxurious.

The gangway retracted, the cabin door closed, and without a moment's hesitation, the plane flew towards Chicago.

Erii's dragon scales had covered the back of her hands, making her somewhat stiff, but her strength had increased dramatically. She gripped Guan Luo's arm tightly, leaving a red mark.

Erii's consciousness began to blur as her savage instincts from the dragon race awakened, and she wanted to tear everything she saw apart.

Guan Luo felt Erii in his arms begin to struggle and tremble, trying to break free from his embrace.

She wanted to devour all life around her, and the best food was Guan Luo's body, with the same bloodline and a high enough compatibility.

Guan Luo didn't even have a chance to react before Erii grabbed his neck and bit down hard.

Blood gushed from Guan Luo's neck and flowed into Erii's mouth.

Guan Luo winced in pain and almost threw Erii out.

Fortunately, Erii stopped struggling and gradually calmed down.

Guan Luo's blood is like a tranquilizer.

Erii fell asleep and loosened her grip on Guan Luo's neck, but this was only temporary; she urgently needed an injection of serum.

Seeing Erii's state, Shuto Aki and Ye Sheng, who were standing to the side, also felt a surge of tension. The aura that Erii had unleashed when she struggled earlier had made their legs go weak, as if a knife was held to their necks.

The plane eventually landed at Midway International Airport, a small, relatively private airport with fewer passengers.

O'Hare Airport, being much larger, has too much passenger traffic, making it unsuitable for Erii's current situation. Moreover, the crowds and distractions make it less ideal.

After all, there aren't many good people on the Kassel Board of Trustees, and few of the large families that have survived to this day are kind-hearted.

If they find out about Guan Luo and Erii, they will definitely try to study them and control them.

Guan Luo now needs the serum from Kassel College, which is provided by the Equipment Department. Erii needs it, and he needs it himself as well.
