At that moment, after Gu Xinghe stepped onto the island, he reached out his hand to Alice, who was still in the sea.
At that moment, he saw Alice trying to walk ashore.
Her dazzling fishtail then transformed into a pair of human legs.
After this transformation, Alice's legs were covered with a light blue tulle skirt.
The slit in the side of the gauze skirt, like a cheongsam, is straight through.
Gu Xinghe could see Alice's calves, which were not too slender and had a perfect curve.
But perhaps they are not used to the normal way humans walk on two legs.
Alice staggered slightly as soon as she stepped onto the ground.
Even when in mermaid form, the other person's fish tail gives a feeling of both softness and resilience.
But at this moment, Alice's legs appeared extremely weak.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe quickly grabbed her hand with one hand and put his arm around her waist with the other.
To steady her as she seemed about to collapse.
But from the thoughts he heard, Gu Xinghe clearly knew that Alice was ostracized because of her ability to read minds.
After eating mermaid flesh, he transformed into a mermaid and was considered a monster.
From then on, Alice fled into the sea and believed that the ocean was her true home.
But during the years she spent adrift at sea, Alice clearly also managed to develop legs and walk on land.
While walking, the other person would never appear as uncomfortable and weak as they are now.
So, Gu Xinghe simply smiled and glanced at Alice, who was pretending to be unable to move and leaning against him.
But in Alice's eyes, the way Gu Xinghe looked at her now...
Alice clearly realized that her little thoughts had already been seen through by the other party.
But at this moment, she only secretly blushed the tips of her ears, and then pretended not to know anything and continued to lean on Gu Xinghe.
Although they had just landed on the island from the sea.
But now both of them are completely clean, with no seawater stains on them.
And when they first set foot on this island
Gu Xinghe felt a sense of desolation and ruin on the surface of this small island.
Yet at the same time, it is filled with a contradictory sense of vitality and burgeoning life.
It is desolate because the island has obviously only recently emerged from the deep sea.
The island's vibrant life force is clearly the reason why its inhabitants are able to regenerate their limbs "infinitely."
So, after having learned about the island's condition from Vivian and Fionn, they then...
At this time, Gu Xinghe did not take the "inconvenient" Alice with him to slowly explore the island.
Instead, he directly controlled his misty domain and brought Alice to the top of the huge crater in the center of the island.
And then it descended from mid-air.
When Vivian and Fionn finished reciting the sacrificial words, they saw Gu Xinghe appear.
At this moment, their faces showed an extremely excited and enthusiastic expression.
It's not a metaphorical "just like," but rather "exactly."
Vivian and Fionn are now witnessing firsthand the appearance and arrival of Gu Xinghe, who symbolizes miracles and hope in their hearts.
Even after seeing Gu Xinghe's presence.
Vivian and Fionn further discovered the "fog lines" that now make up their bodies.
It suddenly became more active from its original calm state.
It was as if they had become happy because of Gu Xinghe's appearance.
These changes within the body are rapid, leaving no time for reaction or thought.
This change was not even under the control of Vivian and Fionn's own bodies.
Or perhaps, this is actually their most genuine desire and thought.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe did not pay much attention to Vivian and Fionn.
Instead, he focused his gaze on the huge chunk of meat that he had seen through the two of them earlier.
It was a piece of meat that exuded an incredibly delicious aroma.
At the same time, it is also a spore filled with extremely rich life force, seemingly nurturing a new life.
At this moment, the ground of the huge pit where Gu Xinghe and the others were located suddenly began to tremble violently.
It's as if something is about to "hatch out".
Gu Xinghe realized that his strong premonition had now completely become a reality.
The series of changes that occurred after Alice approached the island.
This shows that her arrival is the key to truly unlocking the treasures of this island.
“Puff—”
At that moment, a sound like a boil full of pus being suddenly burst rang out.
Thick pus immediately spurted out.
Right at the crack, Gu Xinghe and the others saw a grayish-green arm emerge from it.
The outstretched hand was different from a normal person's; it had webbed fingers.
There was also a constant dripping of transparent viscous liquid onto the ground.
Then, the outstretched arm found support.
The person inside the abscess chose to tear open the "membrane" that was wrapping him and walked out.
After seeing the figure of the person who came out.
The crowd discovered that not only the arms, but the skin all over the person's body was different from the normal skin color.
It was a dull, lifeless grayish-green.
Even on that person's face and arms, there were faint fish scales growing on them.
It looked like a long-dead fish, emitting a foul stench.
At first glance, the person emerging from the huge chunk of flesh actually resembles the Deep Ones somewhat.
But in contrast, the person in front of me retained even more human characteristics.
Gu Xinghe quickly discovered why the other party was able to retain their human identity and not completely become a Deep One.
It was the blue and white color painted on his body, like the painted patterns of some ancient totem, that caused the problem.
Where those patterns and totems were located, the fish scales on that person's body were noticeably less prominent than in other areas.
This blue and white paint is not a form of protection, but rather a constraint and restriction, preventing him from becoming a true deep-diving being.
Although his appearance has changed slightly.
However, the large number of remaining human features of the person in front of him made it easy for Gu Xinghe to recognize that the person in front of him was clearly Murdoch.
The one who received the blessing of the Lord of the Ocean and Storms in Alice's memory.
The man who single-handedly facilitated the construction of the Oasis of the Seas, and also single-handedly contributed to its sinking.
But at that moment, Murdoch simply looked Alice up and down, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Alice, the most perfect evolver in my experiments, welcome."
