The blood of the dragons was absorbed, but it didn't seem to be enough, hunger came from all over the body, and the stomach pouch was filled with extremely acidic gastric juice, as if no more food entered the stomach pouch, they would dissolve their entire stomach.

Several layers of dry, wrinkled skin covered his body, and there were holes punctured by scales, and Kasia endured unbearable hunger, took off his clothes and cut off all the layers of skin on his body, and his fresh skin full of elasticity gave him a feeling of being reborn.

The tactile sensation was two or three times better than when he came here, and he remembered that when he had only shed the first layer of skin, he could catch the faint flow of air very well. Now, the flow of air has become completely instinctive, as if you can see things naturally with a pair of healthy eyes. The flow of subtle wind is processed by the brain for electrical signals, and a different line pattern appears in the brain in real time at every moment.

The sense of transparency was gone, and Kasia lit a fire, and in less than half an hour or so, all the food he had prepared for himself for the next week and a half was eaten. There is no sign of the belly swelling, not even the most basic physiological activities of human beings.

The functions of various organs are not the same as they were not so long ago, and they were expected to fail, but now they have all strengthened a lot. Especially his own digestion, Kasia patted his stomach, and the empty sound made him suspect that he hadn't eaten anything at all. Still has a strong hunger pang, and the high-energy fat in his body has already been depleted, if it weren't for the second stage of the operation, Kasia's current situation would not be like this. At that time, there will probably be a vicious cycle of forced dissolution of muscles to act as energy replenishment.

The air glowed, and Kasia tried to take a deep breath, an area unravaged by industry, but he still felt the choking smell of dust fill it.

"I see. Talking to himself, Kasia spread her arms and basked in the night breeze in the mountain forest. With his skin and the perception of his own breathing, he saw the "bacteria" contaminated with the dust from a different perspective. The air also glows a dull green glow, which is why it is for this reason.

Putting on the clothes, in the continuous "crackling" sound, the inside of the newborn body, the joints of the bones made a crisp sound.

"Seems to have increased your strength, too?" said Kasia as he looked at his much-thinner arm after throwing a few punches into the air, muttering to himself, "It's true that those hazy white lights are hurting me, but now, I seem to have been greatly helped by it." Could it be that like all the creatures around them that have been contaminated with 'germs', they have developed abnormalities because of this, but because of the surgery, this mutation is much faster than them?"

Originally, because of Sucarus's two methods, the nature of his body was very different from that of other surgeons, and now with the anomalies caused by those white lights, it didn't worry Cassia much. When the matter here is over, there is a chance to return to the military school, and the professors will definitely be happy to answer these questions for him. And according to his speculation, his energy consumption will be so huge, perhaps it is related to the fact that the operation has been promoted to the middle of the second stage.

The assimilation and fusion of dragon tissues in the body is indeed one step closer than before.

Without thinking much about it, he just wanted to fill his stomach now, everything changed after the operation, but the hunger from the stomach pouch was always the same, and it was also because the sensitive senses after the operation were several times stronger.

I remember that there were a lot of fish in the lake near the town. Not long ago, Kasia would not eat those fish, and those creatures had more germs in their bodies because of the food chain. But now there is no need to worry about it, this is a very intuitive idea, there is no one why and no specific reason, just the answer given by Kasia's body.

Less than a few dozen meters away, under the bleak moonlight, the surface of the lake glowing with green and white light reflected in Kasia's eyes. The night made Kasia feel the silence around her, and it became quieter all around.

With guilt, Kasia, who was standing by the lake, sighed, as if he was praying for something in the cold moonlight.

"I don't have to worry about food for the next few days. "Looking at the entire surface of the lake, which is occupied by dead fish corpses, the cold moonlight reflected off the scales makes it completely silvery white," said the people who returned here decades ago. ”

As he spoke, Kasia walked into the icy lake, grabbed a random fish, and began to solve his hunger problem in the clear water.

At this time, this already dry mountain range can be regarded as a no-man's land in the true sense. Having lost the ability to feel the fresh morning air, Kasia watched from the lake as the orange-red sun slowly rose under the pale blue skyline, coating the dead fish carcasses that covered the entire lake with a layer of red.

Five or six small piles of fish bones were piled up on the edge of the lake, and Kasia didn't know how much she had eaten last night. It's just that the hunger pang has decreased and he is very comfortable, these fish are not very tasty, and eating has become a mechanical action after that. The only thing he remembered was that he subconsciously opened his mouth to eat, then threw the fishbone behind him, and so on.

When he returned to his resting place, he raised a fire and dried his clothes. Two empty steel canisters leaned against the corner, and on the ground next to them were several specially made syringes. All the dragon blood brought in this time has been used up.

"The approximate location has been found, and in a short period of time, we will probably be able to find the second-generation holy sword left by Grote. Now let Della send me a few cans of concentrated dragon blood by mail, and it seems that there is no time to use it. After finding the Holy Sword, Kasia knew that she would definitely leave here, return to Delya, and begin to take advantage of this opportunity to develop her power.

But the main reason is that when Kasia found herself completely quiet, something strange appeared in her perception, all of which came from bones all over her body.

"These must be those black scales hidden in my body. ”

But at the moment it feels very weak, just a little connection. Kasia felt that as long as he tried more, as long as he was fully familiar with this feeling, it was not impossible to enter the scaly state without relying on the stimulation of dragon blood.

Looking at the mountains in front of him, Kasia returned to his resting place and prepared another set of tools. In the afternoon, he swam across the lake again and entered the cave network.

"Captain Il, Captain Theodore, has confirmed the news that the prey allies will participate in this joint mission of the military school. Stien took the report and handed it to the two men in front of her.

After reading the detailed information on the report, Il, and Theodore raised their heads at the same time: "Let everyone prepare, and leave on time in half an hour." I don't have to worry about that girl now. She was supposed to be the bait set by the prey to delay us, and the prey himself was indeed there in the territory of the Borghese. Also, remember to pass the news to Adelaide, the tricky character you have met in the last day or two may also be a pawn thrown to us by the prey. ”
