Ling Feng was also helpless, thinking to himself, is my mouth blessed or sothing, I just said it and soone ca!
He looked at Li Fei’er and saw her covering her eyes but peeking through her fingers. Ling Feng couldn’t help but joke: "Little pervert, have you seen enough?"
"You’re the one not wearing clothes, how can you bla ?" Li Fei’er asked confidently.
Ling Feng quickly got up, returned to the room, and put on a pair of shorts before coming out: "It’s so late, what are you looking for for?"
"Ling Yao found sothing new in the Eighth Layer and wants you to check it out. She asked to call you!" Li Fei’er said.
Ling Feng was startled: "Really? What is it?"
"She didn’t say, you’ll know when you go see for yourself!"
Li Fei’er just said this and then left via teleportation without further ado.
Joanna then quickly said: "Then you go ahead, I can cook the noodles myself!"
"Alright, maybe they’ve found sothing good again, I really have to check it out!"
Ling Feng nodded and imdiately teleported to the Nine Heavens.
When he arrived, Ling Yao was already waiting at the Eighth Layer.
Ling Feng approached and smiled: "Why did you go mining by yourself, didn’t we say we’d do it together?"
"If I wait for you, who knows how long it’ll take? Gu Li has been urgently asking for fuel, so I learned how to operate it myself."
Ling Yao said, then grabbed his hand: "Co on, let show you sothing new!"
The two went into the Eighth Layer, and then entered the driver’s seat of the mining vehicle.
Oxygen was supplied, and Ling Feng drove forward under Ling Yao’s guidance for about half an hour, traveling about thirty kiloters, where there appeared a patch of black substance ahead.
It was a depression, with black liquid gathering inside it, looking unlike water, seeming very dense and a bit sticky.
"Is this what you found?" Ling Feng stopped the car and asked.
"Yeah, I just got out to see it, it’s sticky and has a strange sll, don’t know what it is." Ling Yao nodded.
Ling Feng’s heart stirred, then he said: "Wait a bit."
Temporarily closing the oxygen system, he opened the door and jumped out, quickly filling a bottle with the black sticky liquid and returning.
After closing the door, Ling Feng smiled: "If I’m not wrong, this stuff might be oil!"
Outside he couldn’t sll anything, but inside, the liquid left at the bottle mouth emitted a special scent, exactly that of gasoline and diesel!
Ling Yao exclaid "Oh", then asked: "Is this stuff valuable?"
"If it were before, I’d still be very interested in it, but now, its extraction is pretty aningless." Ling Feng laughed.
Although oil is dubbed black gold, you can’t just exchange a bucket for lots of money, you need mass extraction.
And doing so would require purchasing lots of equipnt and spending a substantial amount of manpower and resources on transportation, which really isn’t necessary.
Ling Feng isn’t short on money now, so he’s too lazy to exploit it.
Hearing this, Ling Yao nodded: "Since that’s the case, let’s just forget it."
"By the way, how much reserve is there of this stuff? It might be useful later, better understand the general situation first." Ling Feng asked.
"There’s quite a lot, comparable to the water in Xiao Chi Village’s lake." Ling Yao said.
Ling Feng was suddenly dumbfounded, eyes wide in astonishnt: "Geez, that much?"
Though not asured precisely, last ti Chen Yan’s father ntioned that the lake’s water volu reaches at least billions of tons.
Oil might be oil, but it’s actually much heavier than water, so calculating like this, the oil stored here could exceed twenty billion tons!
Ling Feng doesn’t know the market situation, but a ton of crude oil should be worth a couple thousand Huaxia Currency.
Calculating this, the crude oil in the Eighth Layer of Heaven is worth over a trillion!
He suddenly changed his mind.
Driving the mining vehicle back, he said to Ling Yao: "When we get back, I’ll take the sample to test, if necessary, we should extract it!"
"Okay, you decide." Ling Yao nodded.
The two left the Eighth Layer, then Ling Feng didn’t leave, instead following her to the Sixth Heaven.
This place is almost fully explored, though the ocean’s end hasn’t been found, there’s no further need for exploration, the current waters are sufficient for use.
The two reached Dragon God Island. Ling Feng wanted to test if that stuff was really crude oil, so he poured out a bit from the bottle, then took out a lighter.
Just as he was about to ignite, Ling Yao suddenly warned: "I have a feeling it’s risky, don’t rush, step back a bit first!"
"Co on, how could this be dangerous, just a few dozen milliliters."
Ling Feng didn’t take it seriously, igniting the black liquid directly with the lighter fla.
The result was a boom, with flas engulfing Ling Feng!
Fortunately, the fla was combustible and stayed for only a second before disappearing.
But the high temperature still burned Ling Feng, not only were his clothes scorched, but his eyebrows and hair were also gone, and his skin was burned!
A common person would be in agony on the ground by now.
But Ling Feng was alright, his cells’ strong recovery ability imdiately started working, slowly healing the injured parts.
Ling Yao saw his bald head and couldn’t help but giggle, then rolled her eyes at him: "I told you to be careful, now you’re in trouble?"
"Do I look funny now?" Ling Feng asked with a wry smile.
"I think you’re fine, but if you show yourself like this, everyone will probably laugh to death!" Ling Yao said.
"Uh, then I’ll just put on so makeup later!"
Ling Feng didn’t know when his hair and eyebrows would grow back, so he helplessly sighed.
Then he looked at the bottle in his hand, surprised: "This stuff is impressive, didn’t expect such power, it’s not normal crude oil!"
"Oh, what could it be?" Ling Yao asked.
"I don’t know either, but its combustibility is excellent, there doesn’t seem to be such an efficient fuel on Earth."
Ling Feng said, then puzzledly muttered: "Strange, why is the Eighth Layer full of these things?"
Explosive Stone, yellow Crystal Stone, and this black liquid all contain very strong energy.
Ling Yao: "I’m not sure either, but indeed, everything inside is very potent!"
"I need to take a break with Little Yu, then when it’s dawn, I’ll find Gu Li and the others to study this stuff!"
Ling Feng took her hand, and they climbed the mountain, directly arriving at Long Xiaoyu’s house.
This girl wasn’t there, but there was a pool in her cave, originally designed for Sasha to change her constitution, now Ling Feng was going to use it.
Seeing no one around, Ling Feng chuckled, got in, and brought Ling Yao along too.
