Chapter 25 Black Oil Field

The Cyre wilderness was as hot as ever.

The light of the setting sun was still like molten iron, pouring down from the cracks in the clouds, dyeing the entire wilderness a rusty red. The distant horizon seemed to be burning, steaming out twisted heat waves in the twilight.

Carmel Black Oil Field.

The roar of the alchemy engine was endless.

Steel-framed oil pumps stand at equal intervals on the horizon, densely packed like countless devout pilgrims, knocking on the earth at a fixed rhythm and pumping large amounts of black oil into the ground.

An army armed with sophisticated alchemical equipment was stationed nearby to guard the area.

Combat alchemical golems [Iron Guards], each over ten meters tall, took heavy steps, surrounded by fully armed human soldiers following and coordinating with them, always alert to any disturbance on the ground around them.

There are no powerful beasts or monsters within dozens of kilometers of the oil field.

——All were cleared out in advance.

On the ground, there are alchemical golems like the Iron Guards and human soldiers on guard and patrol. In addition to these, there are also some Tracer heavy crossbows fixed around the oil field. Each crossbow arrow is several meters long and engraved with alchemical runes. It is specially used to deter and deal with flying monsters and beasts.

“It’s really heavily guarded.”

Garros hid in the high-altitude clouds, looking at it from afar.

While hunting, he passed by this oil field. After thinking for a while, he decided to watch from a distance, hoping to find some loopholes.

The young red iron dragon fluttered its wings and hovered, squinting its eyes and gazing into the distance.

Because of the great distance, the alchemical creations seemed tiny in Garros's eyes, and the humans moving around them were like ants.

But he had no contempt in his heart.

As his eyes swept over the steel guards and the Tracer heavy crossbows set up around him, which he instinctively felt were very dangerous, Garros silently increased his flight altitude.

"The ground and the sky are heavily guarded. There is no chance of getting close."

"However, it seems that we can find some leaks underground."

Garros looked at the oil field situation, thinking deeply.

The defenses of the Carmel Black Oil Field are mainly concentrated on the surface, with heavy security on the ground and in the sky. On the surface, the underground defense is somewhat weak.

"Forget it. There's no shortage of underground creatures like rock-crushing worms in the wilderness. Just because I can't see them with my naked eyes doesn't mean they don't exist here."

Garros was thinking in his mind that he would subdue some creatures like rock-crushing worms that could burrow through the ground, and then send them to conduct a test.

As for attacking from the front.

The Iron Dragon Lady can only take a detour when passing by such a place. Now Garros can only look at it from afar, and it takes careful consideration before getting close, so he has to stay very far away.

Rao is so.

Garros, who was hiding in the high clouds, was finally discovered.

Click, click, click!
In the northeast, a Tracer heavy crossbow slowly raised and adjusted its angle.

The crossbow mounted on it is more like a spear than an arrow. It has a sharp tip, is thick and long, and is engraved with dense alchemical runes all over.

Runes lit up one after another.

Then there was a soft, barely perceptible whoosh.

Tracer fired a crossbow arrow from her heavy crossbow, which pierced through the clouds and shot towards Garros.

It was extremely fast, but there was no sound of breaking through the air, no whistling sound of tearing through the airflow, and it was not easy to be detected. It was silent and as fast as lightning, dangerous and deadly.

but.

While watching the layout of the black oil field, Gallos always remained extremely vigilant.

He noticed it when Tracer's heavy crossbow was adjusting its angle.

"The attack range is so far."

Garros smacked his lips and turned his body in time to avoid the heavy crossbow attack.

Looking back.

A huge hole was pierced through the clouds where Garros was originally.

The power of the heavy crossbow can be imagined.

If Samantha had come here for the first time and encountered a heavy crossbow attack, she would have been killed.

The alchemical arrows shot by the goblin wolf cavalry were completely on a different level. Even with Garros's physique, he would not feel good if he was hit by it.

Now that he had been discovered, he used his wings like guillotines to tear through the thick clouds and decisively moved away from the place to avoid further attacks.

Tracer's heavy crossbow, loaded with new bolts, fell silent.

Did not continue to attack the young dragon that was out of attack range.

"It looks like a dragon."

"What a quick reaction, it's a pity I couldn't shoot it down."

The human soldier guarding Tracer's heavy crossbow blinked and thought regretfully.

The black oil fields here have rich reserves. In addition to the long-term natural accumulation, there are also a large number of monsters and ferocious beasts killed by the defenders.

"The place where the Lothern Federation is stationed is still too dangerous. I shouldn't have approached such a place. I was a little reckless this time."

"Even if you want to investigate, you should send your family members instead of putting yourself in danger."

After being attacked unexpectedly, Garros summed up the lesson learned and thought to himself.

He thought he had kept a distance far enough, but he still underestimated the power of the alchemical creature. Fortunately, he never let his guard down.

It is basically impossible for Garros now to obtain black oil directly from the oil field.

After tasting the strong taste of black oil, especially after it greatly improved his adaptation efficiency, Garros could not forget it.

Unfortunately, it is too weak now.

A large amount of black oil resources are here, but there is no good way except to look at them. There is only a chance to steal the oil from underground, but now he has no subordinates who can do it, so he cannot do it.

Soon after, Garros returned to the Iron Hills.

"My dear brother!"

As soon as he landed in the hemlock forest, Garros heard Samantha's voice.

"what happened?"

He looked at the fiery red young dragon and asked.

Samantha came over with a bounding stride, raised her chin slightly, and said proudly, "I have grasped the true meaning of alchemy! The great Alchemy Dragon King has taken the first step towards conquering the world."

Distance initially allowed Samantha to learn alchemy.

About three months passed.

What it calls understanding the true meaning of alchemy is actually just the beginning.

But that's not bad.

If it were an ordinary person, even after years of accumulation and day and night research, he might not be able to get started. Top monsters like dragons have excellent talents in all aspects.

The red young dragon stared at Garros without blinking, as if waiting for something.

The desire for praise in his eyes was as solid as a substance. Garros saw it and smiled slightly, saying, "Oh, this is really good news. Congratulations."

Ever since Garros rescued this red dragon girl.

And then pointed out the direction and path for it.

The Red Dragon Girl's arrogance and conceit rarely show up in front of Garroth. Instead, she respects Garroth a lot more.

"Can you refine black oil now?"

Garros asked.

Samantha's expression froze, she shook her head, and her tone became a little weaker.

"Not yet."

Garros asked again: "How about making alchemical tools?"

“No, no.”
