At night, the sea was pitch black, the wind was high and the waves were fast, and the Fulong sailed through the wind and waves.

Behind it, there are more than a dozen ships, almost no too small ships, unlike some "big fleets" that decorate the façade with the number of ships, this fleet pays attention to a low-key, realistic, seemingly small scale, but each ship is a valuable high-end cargo.

Chen Mu was on the foredeck of the Fulong, as a lowest-level handyman, or a temporary kind, he was naturally very busy, basically doing everything.

And now, he was called in to help tie up the spare materials on the deck, along with a dozen handymen, most of whom were temporary workers.

A large ship of the size of the Fulong, and it is also a battleship, there are hundreds of crew members on it, and there are less than half of the regular workers.

This is also a normal situation, and it is a very bad thing to be a regular worker of such a powerful ocean-going trading fleet.

What's more, this fleet called "Qingfeng Xulai", the big backer behind it is the Jiang family of the "Business Alliance", which is even more remarkable.

Moreover, such an ocean-going trade fleet, the risk is also very high, and the loss of personnel is also a normal thing.

Therefore, a lot of dangerous but not so important work is handed over to non-regular workers to perform, anyway, they can be recruited and replenished along the way, and the cost is not very large.

Mixed in such a team, coupled with Chen Mu's deliberately unkempt appearance, he also looked very inconspicuous, his face was dirty, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

He has been lurking nearby for more than half a month, relying on the black technology of monkeys, and he has also quietly arrested a few shipwrecked crew members in the middle, and tortured a lot of information.

In the end, he chose this fleet, of course, because he wanted to take a downwind boat to the "Shang Alliance", in his opinion, in the name of the Jiang family, this fleet is not unimpeded, at least it is much safer.

Of course, he didn't want to go in such a hurry, but the merfolk started a big search, and the pictures were everywhere, and they were intercepted from the original scene in the "Hemsted" temple, and I don't know how the other party got something similar to the surveillance screen, anyway, it's very clear.

Chen Mu even ventured to send monkeys to infiltrate a nearby sea stronghold, which was not used by the mermaids, but was specially built for humans for passing fleets and merchants.

Outside the gate of the stronghold, there were four temple warriors guarding a half-human-high transparent water ball, on which was projected a bounty order about Chen Mu, on the natural grounds that he had stolen the queen's treasure.

The reward is very high, not to mention the mermaid tribe is searching everywhere, even those human adventurers, as well as the passing fleet, there are also many people who have joined this search.

Under such circumstances, Chen Mu did not dare to stay for a long time, so he could only take risks, use disguise techniques as much as possible, and then use the pseudonym "Wu Fan" as a temporary worker to board the Fulong.

Today is the third day on the ship, and it is safe for the time being, there are monkeys watching Li Fu, and the other party has not suspected himself at present.

Thinking about it, Chen Mu's current appearance is too far from the bounty order, not only is he unkempt, but he is also slumped, and there are no monkeys with him, it is difficult to suspect that he is a wanted criminal of the entire mermaid clan.

In fact, just yesterday afternoon, the fleet had already encountered a wave of patrols, and the other party had a very strong demand to board the ship for inspection, even if it was the Jiang family's fleet.

Qiu Lin didn't have a hard top, and after asking about the situation, he cooperated with the other party's inspection.

The target of the patrol was not the goods, but all the big living people, even Qiu Lin himself, who was asked to cooperate with the inspection.

The way of inspection is also very impolite, and even carefully pulling the skin and hair to see if there is a possibility of disfigurement.

Of course, this method caused dissatisfaction among many crew members, but Qiu Lin took the lead in cooperating, and also asked everyone to cooperate with the inspection of the mermaid clan, otherwise they would be kicked out of the fleet on the spot.

As a result, halfway through the inspection, before it was Chen Mu's turn, three temporary workers suddenly became troubled and fled separately.

Needless to say, this is also a fugitive with a case, such as the mermaid clan's large-scale raid this time, not to mention whether Chen Mu can be caught, anyway, there will definitely be a lot of fugitives coming out, which makes these people panic, and there must be a very small number of people who are willing to be arrested, and most of them are trying their best to escape.

Being messed up by these three people, the scene was suddenly chaotic, and Qiu Lin did not deliberately cooperate with the patrol's arrest, and he did not have this obligation.

Thinking about it, with his identity, being able to endure being pulled by the patrol team is already very deep in the city, and it is nonsense to expect him to take the initiative to cooperate with the arrest of the fugitive.

The patrol team was undermanned, and one of the three men was extremely good at light work, so he had to divide most of his men to pursue him, and at the same time send a signal to call the other patrols to surround and intercept him.

Of course, the scene was only chaotic for a short while, and soon with Qiu Lin's assistance, the situation was stabilized and the inspection work continued.

But it was just such a moment of confusion, and Chen Mu had already passed the test with the help of the monkey's secret black technology.

Generally speaking, such a large-scale dragnet investigation is actually far from being a magnificent and negligent one, at least for Chen Mu and the monkeys, there is more than one way to mix the past.

The merfolk clan should also know this, but it still made a huge noise, which made many people curious about the inside story of this matter, what kind of treasure was stolen to attract the merfolk clan to make such a big battle.

Based on such speculation, the purpose of many people's participation in the search was not for the bounty order at all, but for the stolen merfolk secret treasure.

In fact, Chen Mu himself was a little confused, he thought that he was wanted, it must be because of the "Heamster" matter, but people didn't mention this stubble at all, but said that he sneaked into the royal city of the mermaid clan and stole the queen's most beloved secret treasure.

Looking back, he understood that this must be a deliberate pretense by the merfolk clan, and the reason why he didn't mention the matter of "Hemster" must also be because the temple had some kind of taboo.

As for the so-called secret treasure, Chen Mu thought about it, and it could only be the mysterious bead that was still in the monkey's belly at this time.

He had a hunch that the other party had made such a big battle, probably for the sake of this mysterious bead, but unfortunately, so far, he couldn't figure out the value of this bead at all, and even the monkey couldn't see the way out.
