Blue Star

If not the crew then who?In the Bermuda River, there is an extra person who knows nothing. Is it true that, as in the fairy tale, the mermaid can transform into human legs when it lands?

Now is not the time to panic, after all, Zhong Huaide is hiding too many things from him, it is likely to be another bait hidden in the cabin.

"You really don't remember anything?" Gu Li pretended to be calm and asked, swinging the oars.

The man finished eating the fish in a short while, and he looked like he was not full. He pointed to the other sea fish on the boat hesitantly, as if asking if he could continue eating.

Gu Li sighed, the communication between the two was a problem, when he was thinking about how to express himself, the man suddenly said: "You, eat."

"Do you know what eating means?" It seems that it's not really impossible to communicate, maybe it's because I haven't talked to anyone for too long, so I can't express it quickly.

The man picked up a new fish and held it in front of Gu Li. He lowered his eyebrows and looked carefully. The fingers holding the sea fish were distinct. They didn't have the sharp claws when he saw the mermaid last night, and the blood vessels on his skin were no different from those of ordinary people.If you have to say something strange, it may only be in words and deeds.

The man raised the fish in his hand again. He opened his mouth and took a bite. It was tender and delicious, much more delicious than the sea fish he had eaten before.

It is actually the first time for him to eat raw food, because raw food is prone to infection, so most of the time he will not eat it.But right now he was really hungry, if he didn't eat anything, it would be difficult to ensure that the boat could reach the land.

"Thank you."

Anyway, regardless of everything else, the person in front of him is also his savior.The most important thing right now is to go back to Keerqi first. The whole army was wiped out this time, and he still has a lot of things to face when he goes back.

He swallowed the fish in his mouth, took it from the man's hand and said, "My name is Ke Erqi Gu Li, thank you for saving me."

The man didn't answer, as if digesting what he just said.

Gu Li continued: "If you can't remember your name, just think of a simple one for now. Otherwise, when there are more people on the shore, I can only call you 'Hi'.

A name is very important to a person, and no one can give it to Kirch except his parents.When others give names, they can only give a code name at most, but this code name..."

In Minggu Continent, the code name is actually an insulting term.When human beings are infected and no longer belong to human beings, the original name will be deprived, and the code name of the number of infections will be used to name it.

The man in front of him didn't have the characteristics of being infected, so it was obviously inappropriate to use a code name.And he is not the elder brother or relative of this person, give the name...

"Gu Li."

While thinking about it, the man suddenly called out the abbreviation of his name accurately and coherently.His eyes were burning, and when he looked at him, there was a smile in his eyes.

Speech has changed from bumpy to coherent, and communication has changed from being incomprehensible to being able to grasp the main points of the words.But in just a few hours, isn't this person's learning and self-defense ability a bit too high?

If you put him in a place where he can't understand anything, and let him distinguish what others say within three hours without anyone teaching him, he can definitely be called a genius.

"Yes, my name is Gu Li."

The sky was getting dark, the gloomy weather in the Bermuda River seemed to extend beyond the boundary, and the wind and waves on the sea began to become no longer calm.

Without the fluorite to keep the ship afloat, he would probably get seasick if he was jolted like this.Apart from that, the biggest worry is capsizing in big waves.In a sea with wind and waves, no matter how good the water is, people will drown, not to mention his swimming skills are not as good as those crew members who went to sea together before.

Without a crystal mine to illuminate, or a nautical pocket watch to guide the way, his current dangerous situation is not much better than fighting a mermaid.

Holding the sides of the hull tightly with both hands, many sea fish in the boat fell out during the bumps, as well as the simple oars he made with the deck.

He tried to run the witchcraft, but the crystal ring didn't work at all.He couldn't even guarantee whether he was getting closer to the land or getting farther and farther away.

The man sitting opposite, his ability to maintain balance is much stronger than when walking, and even gave him the illusion that fish are maintaining balance in the ocean current.

The man leaned forward and suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him over.

"Don't, this will make the center of gravity unstable and capsize the ship!"

Gu Li's words of resistance did not make the man stop, but he pulled him and hugged him tightly, helping him maintain his balance so that he would not fall over.

The two sat in the middle of the boat, which was where the sea fish had been piled up before.The man's arms were strong and strong, reminding him vaguely of the scene of being rescued when he sank into the sea.

The sky began to rain sporadically, and the skin of the man's arm holding him for balance began to become rough and slippery.Looking down, tiny transparent scales faintly appeared on the protruding veins on the back of the hand.

He remembered, the blue starlight, he seemed to see the blue light spots on the mermaid before he passed out!His back was pressed against the man's chest, his hands gripped the sides of the boat, his body was stiff and tense, and he dared not move.

The gloomy sky could not see the dusk, but now it started to rain and it suddenly became dark and gloomy.If he did not miscalculate, the time at this moment should be around six to seven o'clock in the evening, and it won't be long before night falls.

The eyes were lowered and stared at the man's arm. The nails gradually became sharp and thick under the washing of the rain, and bones similar to fish fins grew out behind the elbows.

And those slender legs are also growing dark blue to black scales at a speed visible to the naked eye at this moment.

The mermaid's tail was so long that the escape boat couldn't fit it in at all, and most of it was hung outside the boat.The caudal fin is blue and translucent, hanging half submerged in the sea.

Those things that look like starlight are actually a kind of liquid secreted by the mermaid's skin. When they are stimulated by the outside world or violently collided, these blue luminous objects that look like dust will scatter around, just like the elves in fairy tales , There will always be a string of crystal powder left when flying over.

Gu Li is an atheist, even though he is a gifted wizard among Keerqi, he never believed it.

There are many legends about mermaids, but most of them only appear in the stories, and then add some vital signs that are unreasonable no matter how you think about it, to attract attention.

But now he is actually experiencing and seeing this kind of creature that only appears in mythology!

Not only can they talk, but they can even genetically alter themselves, turning fish tails into human legs.In his cognition, this is impossible to happen, unless the mermaid itself has human genes.

He didn't dare to ask aloud, and he didn't even dare to move his body at all.Mermaids treat humans as food. Although they don't know why they didn't eat him, at least for now they must not act rashly.

The scales on the mermaid's arms became slippery, and the blue glowing dust only glowed when stimulated.On this gradually dimming and rising sea, the existence of the mermaid is like a star in the dark night.

If it wasn't for seeing the ferocity of the mermaid with his own eyes, he might really have thought that he had encountered a myth.

Everything should be positive, at least because of this layer of blue light, he will not fall into the predicament of not being able to see anything.

The lifeboat drifted with the waves, and he couldn't tell where he was on the sea.The only way is to wait for dawn, and see where the sun rises to know where the mainland is.

It's just that he can't guarantee whether the boat will encounter storms or big waves tonight, or whether tomorrow will be a cloudy day where the sun will not be visible.

The mermaid behind him didn't know what he was thinking, his disheveled hair rubbed against his neck and itched uncomfortably, as if he was smelling his body.

He clenched his fists, if the mermaid really planned to eat him, then he could only fight to the death!

Suddenly, the lifeboat seemed to have hit something, shaking from side to side more violently than before.Coupled with the wind and waves at sea, capsizing is just a matter of the next moment.

The mermaid let go of his arm, and jumped from the boat into the sea.

The lifeboat immediately became stable, and looking down from above, one could clearly see the blue figure of the mermaid swimming under the black sea.

Surrounding the hull, it suddenly leaped high from the sea and passed by. The hands with sharp claws were pitch black, and then sank seven or eight meters into the deep sea and disappeared.

Just when he thought that the mermaid would not come up again, there was another movement from the bottom of the boat.It was the sound of the mermaid's claws slicing across the plank, and the hull became unprecedentedly stable, moving steadily in one direction as if it were inlaid with fluorite.

At the place where the mermaid made a commotion before, the corpse of a giant squid about eight meters long floated on the surface of the sea, and there were many ink sprays around it because of the danger.

From behind him, the mermaid supported the upper body of the boat with his arms, and the fish tail was left in the sea to facilitate the sailing of the lifeboat.

Without a name, Gu Li didn't know how to speak for a while, but the mermaid's expression seemed to be asking him for credit, waiting for him to praise the victory just now.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, he suddenly put away his expectant look, held the lifeboat tightly, and stayed where he was, as if he didn't plan to leave without saying anything.

"Wow, amazing." He tried to boast, and the mermaid let go of the lifeboat happily, turned around and dived back into the sea.

This time it took him a long time to enter the deep sea, and when he came up, he gave him two extra fish weighing three to four catties.

Gu Li accepted the kind offer, looked at the fish still bouncing in his hand and said, "I'm not hungry, you eat by yourself."

The mermaid looked at him and said, "Name, word."

"You want me to give you your name?"

Gu Li gradually let go of his grievances, the mermaid grabbed food for him, did he want him to give him a name?Did not eat him, or because no dangerous aggression was felt in him.

The tail of the fish swayed, and the blue light in the dark sea looked like the Milky Way.

Gu Li: "Actually, I don't really give names to people. If you want, why not name them after the only blue star in the ancient continent."

He didn't care whether the mermaid could understand or not, and explained: "Korchi first had a patriarch named Elder. The eldest son of the patriarch had saved countless humans in the war, but it was a pity that he died of infection in the end. Elder In order to commemorate his son, the patriarch changed the only blue star above Minggu Continent to his son's name.

And your existence is like the stars in this sea, and also our hope to stop the infection.Iris, that blue star is called Iris. "

The mermaid heard him call his name with a half understanding, and happily called him back, "Gu Li."
