Chapter 54: Shipping Goods And…… Impression Correction?

That hand-feel was extremely bizarre and strange……

As if what he had fished up was not a person, but some existence that transcended material boundaries.

To put it more bluntly, that feeling was just like hauling up a clump of pure entity condensed with Mystery power, yet not entirely like an entity either, because although the texture was heavy, it could also be light as if untouchable.

The feeling was particularly contradictory, almost impossible to comprehend by conventional understanding.

Could it be……

In this instant Xia Zhi captured a certain inexpressible revelation, a sharp light silently flashing across his eyes. And almost at the same moment, just as he became conscious of this, the thing tightly gripped in his hand also revealed its concealed true face.

In that split second, the lake water, carrying the lake bottom's profundity and time's Memory, sadly slipped from between wet, silk-like Long Hair, striking the lake surface below, ripples spreading out ring after ring.

Under the Moonlight, that petite graceful Mors Posture gradually appeared.

Especially against the backdrop of this deep dark lake water, she appeared even more noble and beautiful.

The moment she rose from the lake's abyss, that intense Contrast sensation even embodied the phrase 'rising from mud unstained' to perfection.

Immediately——

"She" slowly opened incomparably pure eyes……

With a blank hazy Gaze looking at the person holding her……

"……"

"……"

It actually really is……

Petite figure perfect match! Silver-white beautiful hair not a strand off! Gold pupils also completely consistent!

The target's appearance Vivian had once displayed, merely flashing through Xia Zhi's mind in an instant, seamlessly matched the girl in his arms like a precise jigsaw puzzle, naturally drawing an equals sign.

——The left hand that fell from the Pure-blood Dragon Albion's corpse!

——The Dragon Terminal that maintained vitality to this day, incarnated as a Fairy girl's existence!

——Without a doubt, this one is precisely the Melusine our party has been searching for these days!

Actually fished up by him in one go from this huge lake area, no, from this unfathomable pool!!

Clearly everyone drew cards together, yet in the end only I got the goods, what does this mean? It means I'm a seal…… cough cough, it means I'm a European Emperor! Asians silent at the sight, Africans weeping at the sight!!

Oh, right, and there was another card too.

His gaze cast toward beneath the lake surface, swiftly Locking onto another faint Aura, even though it seemed to be being devoured by the dark lake bottom.

Although not too certain if that card is SSR, it also appeared along with that spacetime crack-like fissure, presumably even if the body is an Ordinary Person, the Identity wouldn't be too ordinary…… speaking of which, this time is still a Double Yolk Egg.

Tsk tsk, Gacha getting goods is indeed simple, isn't it just having hands?

Also don't know what those Non-Europeans are yelling about……

Xia Zhi one hand holding the blank Fairy girl in his arms, the other hand directly making a grasping gesture at the lake surface, as if trying to Capture formless existence.

In a moment, Magic Power condensed like entity, transforming into chain-like shapes, manifesting in Mid-air.

These nimble Magic Lock Chains as if alive, one end plunging straight into the lake depths, writhing, keenly Search Art-ing the underwater Target, their speed and Precision reminiscent of agile snake Creature.

Wait, how come there isn't?

Xia Zhi's Expression changed slightly, sensing the Feedback from the Magic Lock Chains' terminals, although somewhat Blur, still can Definitely confirm, they did not find the Target at the predetermined position, only the Aura he had Locked onto from the start remained in place.

Come to think of it, this deep lake does indeed have something off…… not only able to interfere with external Magic Power, but also able to block Mystery, so it caused great Troubled for the Search Art work during this period.

Current situation equally bizarre, the figure still on the lake surface just now, in a blink vanished as if devoured, such off phenomenon cannot help but make one speculate whether beneath the lake is a gate to some Otherworld……

"What thing! Immediately spit it out for me——!!"

Xia Zhi really just doesn't believe this evil! Since judged Target definitely disappeared below, then at this time obviously no need to hold back.

The super high-grade Magic Furnace Core inside his body instantly entered high-power mode, driving and operating a vast Magic Power torrent.

Because considering potential hidden dangers on this Island, respectively various Curses, Calamity's true nature, and dead Ancient God, and among various Fairy Clans the occasional "Atavist possessing Ancestor-level Power"……

So Vivian at that time said, relying on Xia Zhi's strength still not enough, still would have Enemies able to speak loudly to him.

But undeniably, if excluding those out-of-spec Enemies, this newly entered beginner Qi Refining practitioner, indeed already like a Natural Disaster, can handle the vast majority of situations, walking sideways in the Fairy Kingdom……

Daoist Master just started Qi Refining, true!

But not to the point of unable to deal with you this booger-sized broken lake!!

The youth viciously Raised Hand, just like that Opening Move Palm Technique that descended from the sky back then, Utilize the same way to operate Magic Power, at least slightly altering expression form, then viciously pressing down on the lake surface across the air——

Accompanied by an incomparably dull Long Yin sound!

The originally calm-as-Mirror, deep-as-ink entire lake surface suddenly surged up!

Surging waves like ten thousand horses galloping, momentum like angry waves splitting ravines, carrying irresistible majestic Mors Momentum, Mors Surge-ing sweeping toward both Sides!

The whole large lake's surface like a giant pearl curtain stirred by Formless force, brutally pried apart toward both Sides, the dark lake bed gradually revealing its mysterious true face, those years' traces settled at the lake bottom and secrets once deeply hidden by lake water……

——All displayed under the Moonlight at this moment.

"I knew it……!"

Xia Zhi at a glance saw the lake bottom's unconscious slender figure, quietly lying at the premonition Locked Aura location.

Just don't know why, just now no matter how hard tried unable to accurately grasp, Magic Lock Chains repeatedly swept that point, yet never touched any Entity, gained nothing…… until he brutally cut open the whole large lake, revealing the lake bed.

Only saw him Gently wave a hand, that frail figure as if responding to Summoning rose from the lake bed, swiftly flying toward his Direction.

"What are you doing?"

Right at this moment, a voice came from the shore.

"Gacha…… ah no, fishing people." Xia Zhi answered while reaching out to catch the flying figure, not surprised by Vivian's appearance.

After all the Movement just now was so big, they're neither blind nor deaf, naturally would Perceive it.

"……"

"……"

Vivian pondered a moment, looked at the brutally separated lake water, couldn't help Helplessly Shaking Head.

Although this fellow had joked before that if she really couldn't catch fish, she could just blast them or simply drain the entire lake, she did not agree with this, not out of consideration for protecting this spiritual land, but worrying that such extreme behavior might not be worth the loss and would only produce a counter effect.

——Setting aside whether such hostile behavior could force the target to appear……

——Even if the other party were truly forced out, it would likely directly trigger a hostile state……

The purpose of her trip this time was not to make enemies, but to pick up the leftovers, wanting to win over that combat power said to be invincible in the Fairy Kingdom in advance and turn them into her own people.

Of course, now anything goes.

Anyway, it looks like the plan has already succeeded; Melusine had already been successfully fished out before that, and her condition should have stabilized.

But, isn't this too coincidental? Why was it that the continuous non-stop salvage before yielded no results at all, but after she finally left for a while, the salvage plan was instead declared successful?

Vivian gently lowered her eyes; she really didn't have any luck, after all.

Or perhaps, her luck had all been used on other aspects.

————

A moment later.

Inside the camp.

Mors People sat in a circle together, falling into a silent atmosphere among themselves, staring at each other, the air appearing subtle and heavy.

"Cough cough, what are you all looking at me for……"

Xia Zhi took the initiative to break the silence; he felt the gazes around him were somewhat impolite, each one staring fixedly at him.

Of course, it was mainly because of Melusine; that fairy girl was wrapped in a large blanket, like a newly hatched fledgling, feeling both curious and confused about everything before her, naturally sitting down close to Xia Zhi.

It was clearly noticeable that this fairy girl had not relaxed at all, but was instead full of tension.

She seemed to only establish unconditional trust toward the first person she saw, while toward this strange world and toward the other people around her, she without exception maintained high vigilance.

"Forget it, anyway the plan is considered successfully concluded, the rest doesn't matter, but there is still one problem……"

Vivian's gaze never left Melusine, and she asked doubtfully: "Why is she still this appearance?"

"What do you mean?"

Xia Zhi raised his eyebrow: "Wasn't it what you showed us? Melusine is like this, right? Is there something wrong with it?"

There were far too many things wrong……

Vivian shook her head.

"What I showed was her appearance as a fairy, so that you would understand she wouldn't always be a lump of flesh falling from a corpse……but it's not that she was born with this appearance; her appearance after becoming a fairy should be determined based on the first person she saw."

Although not very willing to admit it, but in terms of persona——

Aurora that bitch was indeed a very beautiful fairy, sparkling, with very high fighting ability in terms of looks.

Setting aside her terrible inner self, that bitch's first impression on people was really deceptive, and it was no wonder Melusine yearned for that beauty, was attracted by that beauty, and used it as a blueprint to shape her own image.

"Huh? There's such a setting?"

Xia Zhi glanced at the fairy girl beside her, always feeling she seemed to have scooted over a bit more: "When I fished her up, she was already like this……cough cough, that, Melusine, do you know what's going on?"

"……"

"……"

The fairy girl showed a blank expression, as if she didn't quite understand what he meant.

"She should possess Albion's life intelligence; many things about this Fairy Kingdom, including cognition and common sense, probably need to be learned from scratch." Vivian watched this scene coldly and spoke.

And at this moment.

Another voice drifted over from the other side——

"Speaking of which, I thought about it; regarding Miss Melusine's appearance becoming like this, could it be due to Master's Impression Correction?"
