"kohlrabi fructus, when will the Mermaid appear?" The lackeys were already getting impatient from waiting.

It was getting dark, and they hadn't even had lunch yet.

"I think the people in the village must have been seeing things too well and thought that big fish was a mermaid. It's a common occurrence on TV." a younger brother said.

kohlrabi fructus had long suspected him as well, but he was already confident in his words, so it was not the time for him to back down now.

"Wait a little longer." The kohlrabi fructus said, "Let's wait a little longer. I think the Mermaid will be out soon." Half an hour ago, he said the same thing. Another hour later, the kohlrabi fructus promised everyone the same thing.

However, when the afternoon was completely gone, not a single trace of mermaid could be seen.

"Maybe the mermaid will not appear today," a subordinate suggested, "Let's come back another day."

People who are in a hurry are most likely to be tempted by money. Similarly, if they don't get any results within a short period of time, it is also easy for them to give up the idea.

kohlrabi fructus was not a very patient person either. He had already smoked an entire pack of cigarettes that afternoon, and the ground was filled with the cigarette butts he left behind. Most of them were either dead or half of them were on the ground.

Doubt and anxiety existed in him as well.

"Since it's already so late, it's time to eat." kohlrabi fructus rubbed his stomach. To be honest, he was a little hungry.

"We should just …" Before he could finish his sentence, one of his lackeys suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Look, look, look, look, look!" The little brother pointed to the other side of the lake and said five words in a row.

"What is it?" kohlrabi fructus was a little shortsighted, he could not see anything clearly.

"Is there a little black dot moving?" Someone saw it clearly.

"It's a shadow. Could someone be bathing in the lake?"

"Let's go!" kohlrabi fructus waved to indicate for his subordinates to follow his footsteps, but when he turned back after taking a few steps, he found that his subordinates were still at their original positions.

"What the hell are you guys doing!" kohlrabi fructus's tone was somewhat anxious.

"Are we just going over there like this?" A lackey threw up his hands, "We don't even have a fishing net or a harpoon."

Yes, this group was extremely unprofessional. They brought nothing but a cloth bag that contained two hundred thousand yuan in cash.

"Let's go into the water and capture him!" kohlrabi fructus was determined, "There are so many of us, are we afraid that she will run away?"

The little brothers looked at each other, thinking that kohlrabi fructus was indeed a big brother, he was bold when doing things! They all followed him.

The crowd did not know how to hide themselves, so they followed the lake shore and headed towards the black shadow in the middle of the lake.

The black shadow shook the fallen leaves on its body. It eavesdropped on the conversation of the group of people. It then followed the sound of their movement and slowly made its way up. Compared to the undisguised kohlrabi fructus, the black shadow's actions were much more careful. He was on all fours, his hands and feet groping for the road in front of him.

If kohlrabi fructus and the rest paid extra attention to what was happening behind them, they would have definitely discovered the black shadow following them. However, the greedy people were just like donkeys attracted by the carrots hanging from the sticks, they could only run forward, not caring about anything else.

If they knew that they had missed out on Cao Tai, who had received a huge bounty from Ding Ling, it was unknown how they would feel.

Cao Tai's heart was thumping hard. Of course he knew what he was doing. The ones he was following were the subordinates of Ding Ling. Since these people were Ding Ling's subordinates, what they had done must definitely be related to Ding Ling. At the moment, Cao Tai already knew that there was someone in the Cao family who wanted to harm him, so since he could not contact the Cao family, he might as well stay in Ding Ling's territory.

In fact, his choice was right. Ding Ling had already contacted the Cao family's second young master. As long as Cao Tai could contact the family, the second young master's killer would arrive in a blink of an eye.

Right now, Cao Tai only wanted to know what Ding Ling was doing. If possible, he didn't mind at the same time ensuring his safety;

It seems that Ding Ling has her eyes on the Merman? She did not expect that not only did Magi exist in this world, but there were also legendary beings such as the mermaids. In the past, he was just a caged canary. When he was in the cage, he could obviously make fun of himself, but once he left the cage and came to the vast world, he would inevitably be harmed.

The pedestrian stopped in his tracks, and so did Cao Tai. His entire body was covered with leaves, and the moment he laid on the ground, it would be hard to tell if he didn't go closer. Furthermore, none of them had any intention of turning back.

In their eyes, there were only priceless mermaids.

"What's that?" As they got closer, even the nearsighted kohlrabi fructus could see clearly.

A female figure was poking at the lake with her hand. She was playing alone.

"Is that a mermaid?" The stronger ones were already able to clearly see the scales on the other party's body. Even if their eyesight was slightly poor, they would still be able to see the other party's green body surface glittering under the rays of the setting sun.

Whatever it was, it couldn't be people.

kohlrabi fructus did not dare to speak anymore. When he truly met with this kind of creature that exceeded common sense, his body would instinctively feel fear. The other lackeys did the same, and the atmosphere turned silent.

But fear could not resist the temptation of money, and soon their hearts began to stir.

"What are we going to do?" someone asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do?" kohlrabi fructus had already taken off his jacket, "Stay here alone and look after the money and clothes, the rest of you, follow me into the water!"

"I want to go into the water!" "I want to go into the water too!" The lackeys had never been so enthusiastic before. Even if it was just a piece of scales taken from a mermaid, it would be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions!

"Don't argue," kohlrabi fructus looked at the fatty who did not raise his hand, "Fatty, keep the clothes for inspection, we're all going into the water!"

The fatty nodded helplessly. It was not that he did not want to go down, it was just that he did not know how to swim.
