“Lay them out on the deck and let them dry!”

Three hours later, the sea cucumbers filled the entire deck of the Merman; Chu Xian even threw away all the fish they had caught with the seine method to open up space to store the cucumbers .

The numberless sea cucumbers, each forty or fifty centimeters in length, dotted the deck, and this was the result of some selection . Chu Xian had left behind all the twenty and thirty-centimeter cucumbers; if they took them all, they would need seven or eight ships to transport their finds .

“I thought that I had stumbled upon good fortune when I found the red coral, but who knew that I would find this sea cucumber mountain?!”

Chu Xian was excited . There were at least five to six tons of sea cucumber on the ship . The quality of their finds didn’t have a fixed market price, but it would all total out to at least fifty or sixty million RMB—definitely a larger haul than the red coral . And of course, the most important fact was that he hadn’t even finished harvesting the mountain .

“My greatest gain this time was this sea cucumber mountain, but I still need to find seven more mermen . We just need seven large fierce fish, but even if I can’t find them all, I still need to return in two days . ” Chu Xian thought quietly .

The trip had already lasted four days, and there were more than thirty large fish as backup mermen candidates . His trip had already met his goal and had even exceeded his expectations .

A single trip had made him more than a hundred million RMB! Who else could do this? If news of this got out, numberless people would have red eyes .

“Keep sailing . Only pay attention to the large fish and disregard everything else!” Chu Xian called out to Old Mu .

The best find would be a swordfish or sailfish; these fish were large and fierce and even came with long and sharp swords—the best specimen to mold into fighting mermen .

“How fast!” Chu Xian was lying back on his chair, casually monitoring the area when he suddenly detected seven or eight large fish flashing into view . “What a pity; I can’t even see what kind of fish they are!”

“Eh? They’re coming in this direction!” To Chu Xian’s surprise, the seven or eight fish appeared again a few minutes later, this time coming straight at the ship .

“They’re going to hit us!” Chu Xian immediately stood up, his expression one of pleasant surprise . He turned towards the fish and examined them in his mind .

Their speed was incredibly fast as they dashed along near the sea’s surface, and their strong and sharp appendages jutted forward like sharp swords . Chu Xian thought at first that this was a group of swordfish, but after getting a better picture of their body size, he realized this was a group of marlin!

Marlin, sailfish, and swordfish all had sharp and long organs, lending them a dangerous look .

But the marlin was the fastest of the group and was also the fastest fish in the sea .

“We can’t let them get away!” Chu Xian stared into the distance as he calculated the route and controlled the tunas to wait to the side .

“Here they come!” Chu Xian transformed into a fish and quickly darted towards the seven or eight marlin while having thirty or so tuna surrounding them at the same time .

The swimming marlin were stunned but they didn’t slow down, dashing straight forward at nearly a hundred kilometers per hour .

“Rule!” Chu Xian called out . Immediately, he felt a strong resistance .

“You can’t escape!” Chu Xian laughed, and thirty-plus tunas immediately boxed the fish in while he stood in the back like a king of the sea .

“Pu pu pu!” To Chu Xian’s astonishment, the seven or eight marlin directly attacked the tuna .

The sharp swords stabbed the tunas, piercing their bodies and meeting almost no resistance as they penetrated through the other side .

“Marlin are so terrifying!” Chu Xian was surprised . The speed of the marlin had reached almost a hundred kilometers per hour, and although his rule limited their power, they still stabbed straight through the tunas’ bodies .

In the first instance, eight tunas were stabbed and died instantly .

But the deaths of the tunas dragged down the struggling marlins, successfully slowing them and allowing Chu Xian to rush forward .

“Hu! Success!” Chu Xian smiled, using his hands to drag the tunas off the marlin’s swords and controlling the marlins to swim towards the ship .

“Kill all the bigeye tunas!” Chu Xian called out to Old Huang and the others when he returned to deck .

With these marlins, the tunas were no longer useful, and since he couldn’t raise them, he had to kill them .

Chu Xian boarded the ship, dragging the marlins onboard one after the other .

The eight marlin were huge, with the lightest one already two hundred catties . One of the marlin had broken his appendage while attacking the tunas and looked to be in the throes of death .

Chu Xian dragged them all into the cabin . To prevent them from dying, he remolded all seven at the same time .

On the Mermaid, Sword One and Sword Two and the others placed the processed bigeye tunas in the storage cabin and returned to processing the sea cucumbers .

Old Mu charted out the shortest route and sailed back towards Hai Qing City .

The sky gradually darkened .

Three hours later, Chu Xian let out a breath and looked at the merman in front of him with a small smile on his face .

Another group of seven large men . With their bodyweights, each of them could definitely fight ten men .

“Old Huang, you’re in charge of the nine new mermen . Get them acclimated as soon as possible!” Chu Xian walked out of the cabin, looked up at the dark sky and called out to Old Huang .

“En!” Chu Xian lay down on his chair and Old Huang immediately came up with food . “Where are we now?”

“We’re still in international waters and will reach the Hai Qing harbor in about twenty hours,” Old Huang answered respectfully .

“Still in international waters?” Chu Xian said with some surprise . They should’ve already left the international seas by now .

“Yes!” Old Huang nodded . “Old Mu plotted the shortest route, so we’re temporarily cutting through international waters!”

“Oh!” Chu Xian nodded and sat down to eat his sea cucumbers .

Sea cucumber soup and stir-fried sea cucumber with green onion – the taste was alright .

In fact, many expensive ingredients weren’t all that tasty, but very nutritious .

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!” Suddenly, a mess of noise sounded from the near distance .

Chu Xian squinted and looked into the distance . A group of lights had appeared on the starboard side, and in the distance were many cruise ships .

But it wasn’t the cruise ships making the loud noise; it was the three fishing ships beside them and the group of fish in the water .

Chu Xian used his ability to check out the fish and froze, his expression turning cold .
