Chapter 217: Human Snake Tail
With Lucilia conveying.
The girl below nodded in agreement, and then, at Lucilia's motion, let her come up.
The girl jumped up from the sea and landed steadily on the deck, and the moment she appeared, both of them who were looking at her were stunned.
It's just because it's a race they've never seen before.
This is a young girl with a snake tail, with both hands under the armpits, and a pair of arms.
The skin on her body was pale blue, with fins on her back and elbows, and the girl's cheeks were faintly colored with scales.
The ears are slender and slender, more pointed than Lucilia's ears, and even have some structures that resemble fish fins.
She wears a simple garment made of shells on her upper body, and is adorned with shells and pearls around her neck.
Compared to normal humans.
The girl's race is obviously more of a sea race, more similar to a fish-man, or a mermaid.
The two came back to their senses slightly, and couldn't help but look at each other, both of them seeing amazement in their eyes.
The girl was slightly puzzled by the surprise of the two.
Due to the urgency of time, Arka completely suppressed the surprise and curiosity in his eyes.
With some questions from Lucilia, she nodded politely to the two of them, then tilted her head to look directly at the deck below.
Stretched out his hand and pointed there.
Arka was now out of the state of the dream of death, but his face was still wearing mirrors, and a faint pink mist was surrounding his feet, but it did not spread outward.
Although Arka, due to the critical condition of Bororo now, agrees that this strange girl of a strange race will come to his ship to rescue Bororo.
But this does not mean that Arka will relax, but will be more vigilant.
The same goes for Lucilia next to her.
At this time, Jason came up from the staircase leading to the bottom, as if to see how Arka was doing.
However, as soon as he came up, he saw the girl with a snake tail, and his eyes were obviously shocked, and he immediately raised his left hand.
Looking at the glove that had already appeared in the aperture, Arka hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't get excited, she doesn't have any malice at this time."
Hearing this, Jason lowered his left hand vigilantly, but the aperture was still around the glove, ready to be fired.
At the same time, he also pulled out the pistol on his lap.
"Tell her we'll take her, but she must not make any dangerous moves."
Lucilia turned her head and relayed Arka's words.
The girl looked unusually calm and nodded, but it didn't mean anything.
She could understand the wariness of these people in front of her, after all, she was a stranger, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that she had never seen a race similar to herself.
Hearing this, Jason remained vigilant and walked slowly again, although he did not understand the current situation.
Arka walked behind the strange race girl, following her downward.
Soon came to the infirmary.
A few people who were at the door of the infirmary and inside heard the footsteps, turned their heads one after another, and looked at the girl of this strange race, and the first thing they thought of was to draw their weapons.
Everyone on the boat was a little tense at this time.
However, seeing Jason walking in front and Arka walking in the back waving their hands at them, everyone slightly lowered their weapons and became vigilant.
And the girl also quickened her pace, quickly walked into the infirmary, ignored the existence of everyone, and came directly to Bororo's side.
Fortunately, she was quite smart and didn't get too close to Bororo, observing carefully from a distance from him.
And the crowd was all around.
If the girl does something wrong, they can stop it immediately.
The girl looked at Poloro's state for a moment, opened her mouth and said something.
Hearing what the girl said, Arka turned her head to look at Lucilia on her shoulder.
Lucilia relayed: "She said that Pololo's current state is okay, and the treatment is not as difficult as she thought, and she said that she is going to be treated, so please don't be too nervous." ”
At this time, everyone turned their heads to look at Arka, waiting for him to make a decision.
Arka looked at Bororo on the ship.
At this time, although Porolo said that his life was not in danger for the time being, his condition was definitely very poor, and if he was not treated, it was likely to leave irreparable sequelae.
And they don't have the means to treat Bororo, and in the end, when danger arises, they can only carry out state condensation.
The pink mist beneath her feet began to spread, circling around the girl's snake body.
Once the girl has performed a dangerous act, the pink mist can drag her into a dream for a split second.
After doing this, Arka nodded.
Lucilia spoke.
Hearing this, the girl stretched out her hands, and the arms below naturally drooped.
Her hands didn't show any magical fluctuations, except for a slight glimmer of light from her fingertips.
Following the shimmer, he gently lit Poloro's carbonized skin.
The point of light quickly melted into Borro's body.
Then his hands danced above his body, and strange shimmers of light kept changing colors and poured into Pololo'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.
It didn't take long for her to let out a heavy breath.
There was a slight click.
The charred skin on Polo's body began to peel off like the skin of the wall.
A new body was revealed.
Arka was sure that when they had examined it just now, it was indeed flesh and blood with serious injuries under the skin.
How did you regrow a layer of skin so quickly?
After identifying the skin underneath, the girl began to gently pick at the slightly sharp nails of her slender fingers.
Piece after piece of skin fell.
The girl's face showed a distinct smile and a relaxed expression.
Beneath the scorched shards of skin, the gray shark skin of Bororo underneath is revealed.
With all the pieces of skin stripped away, the appearance of Bororo's skin at this time was also revealed in front of everyone.
It's no longer the same as it used to be, but it's changed.
There are lightning-like lines on the skin that spread from the back to the skin on both sides.
This seems to be because of the aftermath of Poloro's lightning trial.
What was the unknown girl talking about at this time?
After he finished speaking, Lucilia translated, "She said that Bororo successfully passed the final trial and gained the power of the storm.
Even without her treatment, in the following time, Polo was able to slowly recover and grow new skin until he returned to his full state.
And she only hastened the process so that Bororo didn't have to go through the painful process. ”
Hearing this, Arka nodded, and then said: "Help us thank her, thank her for lending a helping hand, although I don't know why she did this, but if there is anything you need help, please feel free to ask, if there is anything you need, please say it."
By the way, I apologize for our bad attitude just now. ”
Lucilia nodded, relaying Arka's words as they were, before bowing and apologizing.
The girl waved her hand a little panicked, and said something in a panic?
Lucilia was also communicating with her.
After a while, Polo, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.
The violent movement seemed to pull some of the wounds that remained on his body, causing some pained expressions on his face, but they quickly disappeared.
Polo then raised his hands and smiled as he looked at the lightning streaks on his arms.
"Hahaha, I finally passed all the trials!"
Then he looked at some of the dust on his body, as well as some black lumps that had fallen off next to him, picked them up and sniffed them.
"What is this, don't you clean the infirmary? It's disgusting. ”
Polo, who had almost never been to the infirmary, said with some disgust.
Hearing this, the people who were originally worried about guarding the surroundings had their heads jumping.
Before they could speak, Bororo turned his head to look at the strange girl of the race next to him.
Instantly fell to the ground next to him, vigilant.
"Alright, Bororo, you have to thank her for saving you." Arka said beside him.
"Saved me?" Polo pointed at himself suspiciously, then looked at his body, and found no scars or signs of treatment.
"What's wrong with me?"
Arka looked at him helplessly and said, "You accepted the so-called final test in that storm, performed the baptism of thunder and lightning, and your whole body was scorched by lightning and you were seriously injured. ”
"Really?" Poloro asked suspiciously, he didn't actually hold out to the end, and before he left the storm circle, he had already lost consciousness and his body was still holding on.
After speaking, Arka pointed to the black hard shells on the ground and said, "These are your completely charred skin before. ”
"Is this my skin?"
He said casually, unconcerned.
Then he turned his head to look at the strange girl of unknown race, bent down and said, "Thank you, thank you for treating me." ”
Although the girl didn't know what Poloro was talking about, looking at his appearance, she should be thanking herself, and quickly waved her hand.
What was she talking about? I don't understand. Poloro said with a slight tilt of his head.
"Don't worry, I don't understand either."
Then the girl said something to Lucilia, and swam out directly from the door of the infirmary, and Lucilia hurriedly chased after her, and everyone immediately followed.
The snake-tailed maiden came to the deck, said something to Lucilia, then waved her hand at the crowd, jumped into the sea and disappeared.
"Hey! Why did she leave, and we haven't thanked her yet? Jason said in the back.
For the young girl who treated Poloro's kindness, verbal thanks are not gratitude at all.
They were still thinking about how to give the girl some thanks, at least stay for a meal, and find out.
"It's hard to have a doctor, if only I had left her on the ship." Looking at the girl who left, Xia Daiti said beside her.
When Arka heard this, he remembered it.
"She said she had to go back or her people would be worried." Lucilia said beside her.
"Clansmen?" Arka said suspiciously.
At this moment, I finally calmed down, let go of my empty thoughts, and began to think about what had happened in this short hour or two.
"The fact that she has a clan means that she lives here, and there are other intelligent beings here...... Life? ”
Alka said with some disbelief.
It's a way forward, and the water is always going, and it's so desolate that it's hard to see the islands.
Under such circumstances, it is somewhat strange to live an intelligent race.
Thinking of this, Arka asked himself again: "I think the body structure of the girl just now should be the same aquatic race as Bororo. ”
"Maybe it's not a difficult problem for them to keep the water flowing forever, and the shortage of food and the scarcity of islands may not be a problem for them."
Now that I think about it, the so-called forward shipping lanes are indeed just unfriendly to them as terrestrial creatures.
There were few problems for Bororo, who could often be seen swimming in the waters without the boat, and occasionally catching a big fish or two to add to the crowd's meal.
"Don't forget, just now when we were passing through the Storm Sea, we happened to bump into the people of the Southern Storm Sea passing through the gate." Xia Daiti reminded beside him.
"Speaking of which, I suspect that the intensity of the storm may have something to do with it." Arka said next to him when he heard this.
"When I left the homeland sea, the storm was just when the gates were opened, and the intensity was very high.
The intensity of the storm decreases when they are in the Sea of Beings, but we don't know exactly when they opened their doors last time, and now we infer that it should have been a few years.
The intensity of the storm was extremely weak at the time of the Confusion Sea, and we can be sure that the last time the gates were opened was around 10 years ago.
This time the storm was the strongest, and we happened to be on the eve of the opening of the gates. ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded, and in this way, the intensity of the storm was indeed related to the time when the gate was opened.
The timing and intensity of the opening of the gate should be a circular, reincarnation.
The storm is strongest on the eve and time of the opening, and slowly weakens over time.
"Forget it, I don't want to do that."
Arka said.
After all, they have already experienced this last stormy sea, and their next goal will be to completely cross the forward channel and truly enter the infinite sea.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Bororo, who was doing nothing beside him.
"Tell me about you, did you risk your life to meet that final trial, and what did you gain?"
After all, when the girl first came to their ship, she had said that she sensed that Bororo needed help, and that it was the sea that was guiding her.
It has all happened that if Bororo did not gain any benefit, Arka does not believe it.
His life was almost lost, and if he didn't deserve the benefits, Arka really didn't feel worth it for him.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Polo's face, and his sharp dark white teeth were revealed.
Raising his strong hands, he showed everyone the lightning patterns on his hands and back.
"These are the powers I have gained, and I am no longer a warrior of the sea, but a champion of the storm!"
As he spoke, he stepped onto the deck and raised his hands violently.
Blue lightning flashed out of his eyes, and one after another thunderbolts slashed down from the sky out of thin air and fell into the sea water next to him.
The lightning lines on Bororo's body also lit up with purple light, and purple electric light wrapped around it.
"I have mastered the lightning, and will also master the power of the storm, which is the gift of the sea."
Seeing Poloro's changes, everyone couldn't help but smile, and they were sincerely happy for him.
He deserves it.
Julia looked at Pololo, thinking of what he had done before, and couldn't help asking, "The will of the sea is the god of the sea, right?" Otherwise, it would not have been because he had just arrived at the South Storm Sea where the sea god was, and he would have encountered the final storm trial. ”
Hearing Julia's words, Poloro nodded: "That's right, the will of the sea is the god of the sea, and he just cast his eyes on me. ”
Hearing this, Simon, who is a devout disciple of the Holy Machine Church, cast an envious gaze.
Jason, who was standing next to him, watched the scene and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"What do you envy him for, have you ever thought that if you can survive, aren't the gods watching you and bless you?"
As he spoke, he tapped his metal arm.
"If you think about it, isn't it a gift from the gods?"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Simon's face.
"That's right."
But at this point, Jason turned his head to look at Poloro and circled around him.
"So, we've all just been watched by a god?"
"So to speak."
"I hope the sea god's gaze will bring me good luck and let me not be too unlucky the next time I go fishing."
Jason stared at the sky with a sincere face, closed his eyes and prayed.
Hearing this, Arka helplessly helped his forehead: "That's all you need." ”
"Everyone is tired, let's take a good rest."
Arka said, then looked at Juanlu and nodded.
Juan Lu smiled and said to everyone, "It seems that I have to prepare a big meal for everyone." ”
With that, he trotted into the restaurant.
Jason propped his hands on the side of the boat and looked ahead.
"We're on the last leg of our course, aren't we?"
"That's right."
"It's finally time to leave this desolate waterway." Jason said with a sigh of relief on his face.
It's really desolate here.
Hearing this, Arka said quietly, "When the time comes, you will enter the real boundless sea, and the road has just begun." ”
The crowd standing around them, listening to Arka's words, was silent.
Look at the sea ahead.
