Chapter 265: it now looks like an enormous white dragon
Abigail's defensive capabilities at the third tier are already impressive; blades and swords can't harm her, and she can withstand ordinary bullets.
After reaching the fourth tier, her overall defense becomes even more extraordinary.
Not only her muscles and bones but even her internal organs have become incredibly resilient.
Bullets, which previously could cause discomfort, now merely leave a mark, akin to a mosquito bite. Her toughness is comparable to that of Superman.
Elijah, by merely mimicking Abigail's abilities, has seen his passive defensive capabilities increase to nearly that of a third-tier defense.
Kylie's fourth-tier abilities are even more remarkable.
What was initially just an aura of intimidation now carries a hint of seduction or coercion.
She can intimidate someone's mind in a short time, compelling them to follow her commands!
Of course, this forced command is short-lived and requires the target to be at least two levels below her, such as an ordinary person or a first-tier ability user.
Second-tier ability users have some resistance to her intimidation; they might be immobilized but not lose their sanity or follow orders.
However, this is still quite frightening, as Kylie's abilities are most effective not against humans but against zombies!
At the fourth tier, Kylie is an absolute ruler over zombies; even second-tier zombies cannot resist her commands.
Even Elijah's several third-tier zombies will obey Kylie in the absence of direct instructions from him or Abigail.
With their abilities, Elijah feels more confident about the upcoming adventure. Everything is ready.
Elijah, Charlotte, and the others bid farewell to Fiona, Bella, and the other women on Azure Isle and boarded the largest luxury yacht on the island!
The yacht is over 35 meters long, nearly 7 meters wide, with a cruising speed of 20 knots and a range of 500 nautical miles, about 900 kilometers.
This is more than enough to reach Country A's island.
Moreover, they have plenty of extra fuel!
In addition, they have ample food and drinking water for an extended sea voyage.
Sophia has made thorough preparations for the voyage.
She has taken the yacht out of the dock several times and is now thoroughly familiar with it!
Soon, the yacht successfully departs from the dock, gradually picking up speed and heading full throttle towards Country A's island!
Just as Elijah and the others left Azure Isle, a massive creature suddenly leapt out of the sea and then plunged back in, continuously circling around the yacht!
"It's Whitey!" Sophia exclaimed joyfully.
"This guy wants to come along for the ride!" Elijah laughed and shook his head. He had sensed Whitey's movements and understood its intentions through their mental link.
Whitey, having undergone several evolutions, has developed partial intelligence, roughly equivalent to a first-tier Yello.
Yello has advanced to the second tier through its food thievery and is now much smarter, almost like a seven or eight-year-old child.
A first-tier Yello is about the level of a three or four-year-old child. Whitey is currently in this state!
In addition to gaining intelligence, Whitey's body has changed significantly.
It is now over ten meters long, with a more slender build, barely resembling the original shark; it now looks like an enormous white dragon!
Although Whitey hasn't developed any special abilities yet, its powerful physique rivals that of a third-tier ability user.
"Since Whitey has always protected the island and hasn't ventured out much, why not let it join us?" Sophia suggested.
Besides Elijah, Sophia has the best relationship with Whitey. She feels that having Whitey along would make the sea voyage safer!
"Sure!" Elijah agreed without hesitation.
The islanders' strength is no longer as it once was, with several third-tier individuals. Whitey's temporary absence won't pose a threat to Azure Isle.
Whitey, delighted by Elijah's approval, immediately began darting around the sea surface. As the yacht stabilized, the people on board began their respective activities.
Abigail and Daisy took out their sea fishing gear and started fishing.
Charlotte and Kylie changed into swimsuits, enjoying the sea breeze and drinks! Elijah and Elena explored the luxurious yacht.
The yacht's interior design is exceptional, with each of its three levels featuring unique characteristics and functions, decorated to rival luxury hotels.
The bed is so soft and comfortable that Elijah and Elena found themselves lying on it without realizing it!
Seeing Kylie and Abigail advance to the fourth tier one after another, Elena was a bit jealous!
Although Elena had intelligence, she was somewhat childish, making Elijah feel the need to deepen their emotional connection so he could confidently give her a third-tier corpse core in the future.
While sailing at sea, everyone was initially excited, but the enthusiasm waned over time.
Fortunately, the voyage wasn't very long, and by the next afternoon, they had reached near Country A, spotting land in the distance.
Sophia pointed to the map and said to Elijah, "We're currently near Avalon in Country A, still over 1500 kilometers from our destination. Although we have extra fuel, we should find a port here to refuel!"
Sophia's destination was a coordinate obtained from Nicholas, the location where they first discovered "Serenity Peak," roughly 200 kilometers east of the capital of Country A.
Elijah and the others had arrived at Avalon on the west side of Country A, but their destination was still some distance away.
Before departure, Elijah and Sophia had planned a rough itinerary.
Avalon was their first stop to refuel.
Afterward, they would travel northeast along Country A's coastline. Before heading to Serenity Peak, they needed to refuel again at a port near the capital.
Elijah had no objections. Just as Sophia was preparing to adjust their course to find a port, Daisy's voice suddenly came over the radio.
"Someone is approaching from the east in a speedboat, coming quickly!"
"Looks like a warm and hospitable host wants to welcome us. I'll go check it out!" Elijah chuckled and headed to the deck.
On deck, Daisy, Charlotte, Abigail, Kylie, and Elena were all on guard in different directions.
Elijah looked to the east and indeed saw a speedboat approaching them.
However, instead of coming closer, it circled their luxury yacht from a distance before heading east again!
"They might be going to get more people!" Charlotte remarked, watching the boat leave.
"No worries, the more, the merrier! It's a perfect chance for Whitey to have some fun!" Elijah chuckled.
Despite Elijah's nonchalance, everyone remained vigilant. Daisy and Charlotte even changed out of their swimsuits and back into their regular combat gear.
As Elijah and the others drew closer to the coast of Country A, a group suddenly emerged from behind an island.
