Chapter 401 - 217 Human Body, Snake Tail
At Lucilia’s word, the girl below nodded her agreement. Then, at Lucilia’s signal, she came aboard.
The girl leaped directly from the seawater, landing steadily on the deck. The instant she appeared, the two watching her were stunned. This was because she belonged to a race they had never encountered.
This was a girl with a human body and a snake’s tail, with an extra pair of arms under her armpits.
Her skin was pale blue, with fish fins on her back and at her elbows. The sides of her cheeks also bore subtle, delicate, colorful scales.
Her ears were sharp and elongated, even more pointed than Lucilia’s, and bore structures resembling small fins.
Her upper body was clad in simple attire seemingly crafted from shells, and around her neck hung decorations made of shells and pearls.
Compared to normal humans, this girl’s race clearly leaned more towards marine species, akin to Fishmen or Merfolk.
Slightly recovering their composure, they couldn’t help but exchange glances, seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.
The girl seemed a little puzzled by their surprise.
Due to the urgency of the moment, Alka completely suppressed the astonishment and curiosity in his eyes.
After some questions from Lucilia, the girl politely nodded to the two of them. She then tilted her head, looking directly at the passage leading to the lower deck and pointed towards it.
Alka was no longer in his Dream Death God state, but he still wore the Mirror Surface. A faint pink mist swirled around his feet, though it didn’t spread further.
Although Alka had agreed to let this unfamiliar girl from a strange race board his ship to rescue Pororo due to the critical nature of Pororo’s condition, this didn’t mean Alka would lower his guard. On the contrary, he became even more vigilant. The same was true for Lucilia.
At that moment, Jason ascended the stairs from below, apparently intending to check on Alka and the others. But as soon as he reached the deck, he saw the girl with the human body and snake tail. Shock was evident in his eyes, and he immediately raised his left hand.
Seeing the halo already forming around Jason’s glove, Alka quickly waved his hand. "Don’t get excited," Alka said. "She isn’t showing any malice right now."
Hearing Alka’s words, Jason cautiously lowered his left hand, but the halo remained around his glove, ready to fire at any moment. He also drew the handgun holstered on his thigh.
"Tell her we’ll take her, but she must not make any dangerous moves."
Lucilia turned to relay Alka’s words.
The girl appeared exceedingly calm and nodded, showing no objection. She could understand their caution; after all, she was a stranger, and from their expressions, it seemed they had never encountered a race like hers before.
Hearing this, Jason, still vigilant, slowly descended the stairs again, though he didn’t fully grasp the situation. Alka, meanwhile, walked behind this girl from a bizarre race, following her below.
Soon, they reached the infirmary.
The few people at the infirmary door and inside heard the footsteps and turned. Upon seeing the strange girl, their first instinct was to draw their weapons. Everyone on the ship was somewhat tense at this moment. However, when they saw Jason leading the way and Alka following behind gesturing to them, they hesitantly lowered their weapons, though they remained alert.
The girl quickened her pace and swiftly entered the infirmary. Ignoring the others, she went directly to Pororo’s side. Fortunately, she was sensible enough not to get too close to Pororo, observing him carefully from a short distance.
Everyone else gathered around. If this girl made any suspicious moves, they could stop her immediately.
The girl observed Pororo’s condition for a while, then opened her mouth and said something.
Upon hearing the girl’s words, Alka turned to look at Lucilia on his shoulder.
Lucilia relayed, "She says Pororo’s condition is stable, and treating him isn’t as difficult as imagined. She’s going to begin treatment now and asks us not to be overly tense."
At this, everyone turned to Alka, awaiting his decision.
Alka gazed at Pororo. Although Pororo wasn’t in immediate life-threatening danger, his condition was definitely critical. Without treatment, he would likely suffer irreparable long-term effects. They had no means to treat Pororo themselves; if his condition worsened, their only option would be to induce a state of Stagnation.
The pink mist at Alka’s feet began to spread, forming a circle around the girl’s serpentine lower body. If the girl made any dangerous moves, this pink mist could drag her into the Dream Realm in an instant.
Having made these preparations, Alka nodded.
Lucilia conveyed his assent.
Upon hearing this, the girl extended her upper pair of hands, her lower arms hanging naturally at her sides. Her extended hands showed no Magic Power fluctuations, only faint glimmers at her fingertips. Guided by the glimmers, she gently touched Pororo’s carbonized skin. The points of light swiftly merged into Pororo’s body.
Then, her hands danced above his body as strange, multicolored glimmers continuously flowed into Pororo.
