Chapter 216: Human Body and Snake Tail
Following Lucelia's message.
The girl below nodded in agreement, and then at Lucelia's signal, she let him come up.
The girl jumped out of the sea and landed steadily on the deck. The moment she appeared, both people who were watching her were stunned.
Just because this is a race they have never seen before.
This is a girl with a human body and a snake tail, and there is a pair of arms under her armpits.
The skin on her body is light blue, and there are fins on her back and elbows. The girl also has light and delicate colored scales on both sides of her cheeks.
The ears are long and pointed, sharper than Lucelia's ears, and even have some fin-like structures on them.
Her upper body was wearing a simple dress made of shells, and around her neck was a decoration made of shells and pearls.
Compared to normal humans.
The girl's race is obviously more like some marine race, more like merman or mermaid.
The two of them came back to their senses slightly and couldn't help but look at each other, with amazement in their eyes.
The girl was a little puzzled by the two people's surprise.
As time was urgent, Alka completely suppressed the surprise and curiosity in his eyes.
Following some questions from Lucelia, she nodded politely to the two of them, then tilted her head to look directly toward the area leading to the deck below.
He pointed there.
Alka had already left the state of the dream god of death at this time, but he still had the mirror on his face, and a faint pink mist surrounded his feet, but it did not spread outwards.
Although Alka agreed to let the strange girl from a strange race come to his ship to rescue Pororo because Pororo was in critical condition.
But this does not mean that Alka will relax, but will become more vigilant.
The same thing happened to Lucilia next to her.
At this time, Jason walked up from the stairs leading downstairs, as if he wanted to see how Alka and the others were doing.
However, as soon as he saw the girl with a human body and a snake tail, his eyes showed obvious shock and he immediately raised his left hand.
Looking at the gloves with circles of light appearing on them, Alka waved his hands quickly.
"Don't get excited. She has no ill intentions at this moment."
After hearing this, Jason lowered his left hand cautiously, but the halo was still surrounding the glove, ready to fire at any time.
At the same time he pulled out the pistol from his thigh.
"Tell her that we will take her there, but she must not do anything dangerous."
Lucilia turned around and relayed Alka's words.
The girl looked unusually calm and nodded, but it didn't mean anything.
She could understand the people in front of her being wary of her. After all, she was a stranger, and judging from their looks, it seemed that they had never seen a race similar to themselves.
Hearing this, Jason remained alert and slowly walked down again, although he didn't understand the current situation.
Alka walked behind the girl of the strange race and followed her downwards.
Soon we arrived at the infirmary.
The people standing at the door of the infirmary and inside heard the footsteps and turned around to look at the girl of this strange race. The first thing they thought of was to draw their weapons.
Everyone on the boat was in a somewhat tense state at this moment.
However, when they saw Jason in front and Alka in the back waving at them, everyone put down their weapons slightly and became alert.
The girl also quickened her pace and walked quickly into the infirmary, ignoring the presence of everyone else and came directly to Porro's side.
Fortunately, she was smart enough not to get too close to Porro, but observed him carefully from some distance away.
And everyone gathered around.
If the girl did anything wrong, they could stop her immediately.
The girl looked at Pororo's condition for a while, then opened her mouth and said something.
Hearing what the girl said, Alka turned around and looked at Lucilia on his shoulder.
Lucilia relayed, "She said that Pororo is in good condition now, and the treatment is not as difficult as we thought. She said she is going to start the treatment, and asked us not to be too nervous."
At this time, everyone turned to look at Alka, waiting for his decision.
Alka looks at Pororo in the boat.
Although Polo is not in danger of life at this moment, his condition is definitely very bad. If he does not receive treatment, he will most likely be left with irreversible sequelae.
And they had no means to treat Porro, and when danger came, they could only freeze his state.
The pink mist beneath her feet began to spread, circling around the girl's snake body.
Once the girl does something dangerous, the pink mist will drag her into a dream in an instant.
After doing this, Alka nodded.
Lucelia expressed it.
After hearing this, the girl stretched out her hands, with her lower arms hanging down naturally.
There was no magical fluctuation in her hands, except for a faint flicker of light at her fingertips.
Following the faint light, it gently tapped into Porro's carbonized skin.
The light spot quickly merged into Porro's body.
Then his hands danced above his torso, and a strange glow kept changing color as it poured into Porro's body.
Beads of sweat began to appear on the girl's forehead and he began to frown.
It seems that the treatment is not as easy as she said.
Not long after, she exhaled heavily.
A slight clicking sound was heard.
The charred skin on Porro's body began to peel off like paint on a wall.
Revealing the brand new body inside.
Alka was able to confirm that when they checked inside just now, there was indeed severely injured flesh and blood under the skin.
How come a new layer of skin grew back so quickly?
After confirming the skin underneath, the girl began to gently scratch it with the slightly sharp nails on her slender fingers.
Pieces of skin fell off one after another.
The girl had an obvious smile and a relieved expression on her face.
Under the charred skin fragments, the gray shark skin that Porro once had was revealed.
As all the skin fragments were peeled off, the appearance of Porro's skin was revealed to everyone.
It is no longer what it once was, but something has changed.
There are lightning-like lines on the skin, spreading from the back to the skin on both sides.
This seemed to be the aftereffect of .
What was the unknown girl saying at this time?
After he finished speaking, Lucelia translated, “She said that Pororo successfully passed the final test and gained the power of the storm.
Even without her treatment, Polo would be able to slowly grow new skin over the next period of time until he returned to his full strength.
She just accelerated the process so that Pororo didn't have to go through this painful process."
Hearing this, Alka nodded, and then said, “Thank her for us, thank her for lending a helping hand, although we don’t know why she did it, but if there is anything we can help you with, please feel free to ask, and if you need anything, please tell us.
By the way, I apologize for our bad attitude just now."
Lucelia nodded, repeated Alka's words exactly as they were, and then bowed to apologize.
The girl waved her hands a little nervously, saying something in a panic.
And Lucelia was also communicating with her.
After a while, Porro, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.
This violent movement seemed to pull out some wounds that remained on his body, causing a look of pain on his face, but it quickly disappeared.
Then Porro raised his hands, looked at the lightning patterns on his arms, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hahaha, I finally passed all the trials!"
Then he looked at the dust on his body and some black lumps that had fallen off nearby, and picked them up and smelled them.
"What the hell is this? Don't you guys clean up the infirmary? It's disgusting."
Pororo, who had almost never been to the infirmary, said with some disgust.
Hearing this, the people who were originally worried about the surroundings felt veins throbbing in their heads.
Before they could say anything, Pororo turned around and was startled to see a girl of a strange race next to him.
He instantly fell to the ground beside him and became alert.
"Okay, Pororo, you have to thank her. She saved you." Alka said from the side.
"Saved me?" Porro pointed at himself in confusion, then looked at his body and found no scars or signs of treatment.
"What's wrong with me?"
Alka looked at him helplessly and said, "You underwent the so-called final test in that storm and were baptized by thunder and lightning. Your whole body was burnt by lightning and you were seriously injured."
"Really?" Porro asked doubtfully. In fact, he did not hold on to the end. Before leaving the storm circle, he had already lost consciousness, but his body was still holding on.
Alka pointed to the black crusts on the ground and said, "These are your skins that were completely burnt before."
“So this thing is my skin?”
He said casually, not caring at all.
Then he turned to look at the strange girl of unknown race, bowed and said: "Thank you, thank you for healing me."
Although the girl didn't know what Porro was talking about, she saw that he was thanking her and waved his hand quickly.
"What is she saying? I don't understand." Porro said with his head slightly tilted.
"Don't worry, I don't understand either."
Then the girl said something to Lucelia and swam out of the infirmary door. Lucelia chased after her and everyone followed immediately.
The girl with a snake tail came to the deck, said something to Lucilia, then waved to everyone, jumped into the sea and disappeared.
"Hey! Why did she leave? We haven't thanked her yet?" Jason said from behind.
Verbal thanks to the girl for healing Pororo were not really enough.
They were still thinking about how to give the girl some compensation as a token of gratitude, at least to have her stay for a meal and get to know her better.
"We finally have a doctor. It would be great if we could keep her on the ship." Xia Daiti said as he watched the girl leave.
Alka remembered the incident when he heard this.
"She said she had to go back, otherwise her people would be worried." Lucelia said beside her.
"Tribe members?" Alka asked doubtfully.
Only at this moment did I finally calm down, empty my mind, and start thinking about what had happened in just one or two hours.
"She has tribe members, which means she lives here. There are other intelligent life forms here... living here?"
Alka said in disbelief.
This is the forward waterway. The water flows forward forever and it is so desolate that even the islands are hard to see.
Under such circumstances, it is somewhat strange to have an intelligent race alive.
Thinking of this, Alka asked himself and answered: "From the body structure of the girl just now, I think she should be an aquatic race like Pororo."
"Perhaps for them, the eternal flow of water is not a difficult problem to solve. The shortage of food and the scarcity of islands may not be a problem for them either."
Now that I think about it, the so-called forward route is indeed just unfriendly to these terrestrial creatures .
There was almost no problem for Polo. He could often be seen leaving the boat and swimming in the sea, and occasionally catching one or two big fish to provide a snack for everyone.
"Don't forget, when we were crossing the Storm Sea just now, we happened to run into people from the Southern Storm Sea passing through the gate." Xia Daiti reminded from the side.
"Come to think of it, I do suspect that the intensity of this storm might be related to this situation." Alka said beside him when he heard this.
“When we left the Home Sea, the storm was just when the gates were open, and it was very intense.
While in the Sea of All Beings, the intensity of the storms decreased, but we don't know the exact time they last opened, and now we infer that it must have been several years.
When we were in the Bright Sea, the storm was extremely weak, and we were able to determine that the last time the gate was opened was about 10 years ago.
This time the storm was the strongest, and we encountered it just before the gate opened."
Everyone nodded when they heard this. From this perspective, the intensity of the storm is indeed related to the time when the gate is opened.
The timing and intensity of the door opening should be circular and cyclical.
The storm is strongest on the eve of and at the moment of the opening, and gradually weakens as time goes by.
"Forget it, don't think about it."
Alka said.
After all, they have already experienced this last stormy sea area, and their next goal will be to completely pass through the forward channel and truly enter the boundless ocean.
As he said this, he turned his head and looked at Pororo who was doing nothing beside him.
"Polo, tell me about yourself. You risked your life to take on that final test. What did you gain?"
After all, when the girl first came to their boat, she said that she sensed that Porro needed help, and it was the sea that guided her.
In such a situation, Alka didn't believe that Pororo didn't gain any benefits.
He almost lost his life, and if it wasn't worth it to get any benefit, Alka would really feel sorry for him.
Hearing this, Pororo smiled, revealing his sharp, dark white teeth.
He raised his strong hands and showed everyone the lightning patterns on his hands and back.
"These are the powers I have gained. I am no longer a warrior of the sea, but a champion of the storm!"
As he said this, he walked onto the deck and raised his hands high.
Blue lightning flashed in his pupils, and one after another lightning bolt struck down from the sky and landed in the sea beside him.
The lightning patterns on Porro's body also lit up with purple light, and purple electric light was entwined on it.
"I have mastered the lightning, and I will also master the power of the storm, a gift from the sea."
Seeing the changes in Polo, everyone couldn't help but smile and were sincerely happy for him.
He deserves it.
Julia looked at Pororo and thought of what he had done before. She couldn't help but ask, "The will of the sea refers to the sea god, right? Otherwise, we wouldn't have encountered the final storm trial just after arriving at the South Storm Sea where the sea god is."
Hearing Julia's words, Pororo nodded: "Yes, the will of the sea is the sea god. He just cast his eyes on me."
Hearing this, Simon, a devout believer of the Holy Machine Church, cast an envious look.
Jason, who was standing next to him, watched the scene, smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Why do you envy him? Have you ever thought that the reason you are alive is because the gods are watching over you and blessing you?"
As he spoke, he tapped his metal arm.
"Think about this, can it be considered a gift from God?"
Hearing this, Simon smiled.
"That's true."
But at this time, Jason turned his head and looked at Pororo, circling around him.
"So, we were all just watched by a god?"
"You could say that."
"I hope the gaze of the sea god can bring me good luck, so that I won't be too unlucky the next time I go fishing."
Jason looked sincere, staring at the sky, closing his eyes and praying.
Hearing this, Alka held his forehead helplessly and said, "That's all you can do."
"Everyone is tired, let's take a good rest."
Alka said, then looked at Juanlu and nodded.
Juanlu smiled and said to everyone: " It seems that I have to prepare a big meal for everyone."
As he said that, he trotted into the restaurant.
Jason leaned his hands on the side of the boat and looked ahead.
"We are on the final stretch of our path, aren't we?"
"That's right."
"We're finally leaving this desolate waterway." Jason said with a look of relief on his face.
It's really desolate here.
Hearing this, Alka said quietly: "When we enter the real boundless ocean, the road has just begun."
Everyone standing around was silent as they listened to Alka's words.
Looking at the sea ahead.
