“Oh?”
Unexpectedly, the murderer was still nearby. Philip jumped up. He really wanted to see what the murderer looked
like.
A red-haired boy dressed in rags entered his sight. He carried a large fish tank on his back, which contained the
mermaid that had just been auctioned off.
The boy saw that Philip was just staring at him quietly. After putting the mermaid down, he revealed a pair of sharp
claws stained with blood.
“You don’t seem human,” Philip said lightly.
Roar!
The boy crouched down and growled as if warning Philip not to approach him.

sharp claws.
Philip had no choice but to knock him out and carry him over to the mermaid, who kept shrinking back in horror.
However, there was only that much room in the glass case.
With these two merpeople, Philip sneaked into the aquarium from earlier, which was closed at this time.
When looking over them, Philip found scars on the boy. They were densely packed like vines all over his body. Some
had been scabbed over, while others were inflamed and festering.
After putting some medicine on him, Philip brought the mermaid to the aquarium. The ocean beasts cheered up
when they saw the mermaid’s arrival.
The seawater in the small fish tank was stinking up.
Philip carried the mermaid and applied some medicine where her scales fell off. He put her into the big fish tank for
the time being.
For a moment, Philip did not know what to do with these two. If he allowed them to escape just like this, not to
mention their inability to move around and understand human speech, they would probably starve to death at
some point.
If he handed them over to this aquarium, he did not know if they would be treated well. However, it was not
convenient for him to take them away. Philip had not yet explored the possibility of putting living things into his
space ring.
Since there was no better solution to this matter for the time being, he might as well ask the blond old man for
advice.
Philip found a comfortable place and sat down. He took out a Five-Element Herb and tried to absorb it by drawing
the power of the elements into his body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe herb that was black on one side and white on the other slowly faded. The power of the five elements inside was
quickly absorbed by Philip. The effect was good, but it was a little expensive.
The power of the five elements in this herb was but a drop in the bucket, so Philip quickly absorbed all the
remaining nine herbs in one go.
When Philip opened his eyes again, he saw the mermaid lying on the side of the tank, talking with the boy in a
special language.
The boy looked happy, but the mermaid seemed aggrieved as she said something.
Philip did not know if he should break the tranquility between them.
“Hey!” Seeing that the two were about to kiss each other, Philip interrupted.
Although the young man was indebted to Philip, he still looked wary.
Philip raised his hands in a wave, indicating that he had no weapons and was not hostile.
He said softly, “Calm down.”
The boy watched as Philip walked over slowly and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
