I watched as Lao Liu kept talking, and then Yi Yi exchanged a glance, both of us finding it hard to believe.
No offense, Lao Liu, but shouldn't you be storing gasoline as a backup energy source for yourself?
As a driver, I wouldn't say anything if you kept this in your car, but do you really think you could save your life with it?!
As Lao Liu held a lighter in his hand, he slowly unscrewed the lid of the bucket, and the pungent smell of oil immediately wafted out.
He suddenly used the bucket to splash oil into the weeds, and thick engine oil flowed down the flat ground, quickly soaking a large patch of grass.
"You don't understand! Sometimes the stuff at gas stations isn't pure!"
Besides, this is shallow water, not above ground. I'm already grateful to be able to drive a taxi; if I were to ask for any more oil, how could I possibly run a business!
Old Liu's face lit up with excitement again, quite different from when he first met us in the car.
Even when he was first frightened by that ghost, Lao Liu was trembling and at one point wanted to back out.
"Hey bro, I don't have to pay for this, right...?"
I asked softly, after all, it can't be said that Old Liu is greedy, but if you give him money, he can definitely do a lot of things!
I'm a little worried about this situation; he's making me pay for all his gas money.
After all, this is something that someone had carefully stored in the trunk, and he even said that this kind of thing is hard to buy, especially the shallow ones.
We're practically sticking our heads out, letting Old Liu flick our foreheads.
"How could that be, young brother? We've been through thick and thin together. I won't let you pay for everything; I'll cover 60% for you!"
Old Liu's smile widened, while a galloping horse seemed to run wild in my heart.
Good heavens, this is practically forcing you to buy something!
However, I couldn't say much, since they had just saved our lives and brought us out with great difficulty, and now they were helping us drive this thing away.
"Okay, whatever it is, as long as it's useful!"
I exchanged another glance with Yiyi, this time with a helpless look in my eyes.
Seeing her equally helpless expression, I seemed to understand; he was also speechless at Old Liu's behavior.
This place is deserted and uninhabited. If it really is some kind of monster, we are unarmed and do not know its strength. Old Liu's method is very useful, and it is estimated that it will have a miraculous effect.
Then there's nothing to object to; how expensive can a barrel of oil be?
"bump!"
A flame shot up from a lighter, and Lao Liu quickly brought the flame closer to the machine oil. In an instant, the entire area burst into flames.
The flames crackled and licked at the weeds, spreading rapidly and illuminating the entire dark night.
Soon, the fire also produced thick plumes of black smoke.
The three of us quickly retreated, seeing that the weeds were already surrounded by fire, and we were even a little afraid of being hit by the sparks.
In addition to the smell of engine oil, I could clearly smell a burnt grassy smell in the air, which was quite unpleasant. Coupled with the slightly fishy and sweet smell in the air, it was even more indescribable.
This smell makes me want to cough.
"Alright, let's go. Whether it's a person or an object, we probably won't be able to hear it anymore!"
Old Liu turned around, and we followed behind. The intense fire could basically form a barrier.
Without hesitation, we quickly walked towards the car.
They had only taken two steps when a shrill wail suddenly came from within the flames!
It was a woman's voice, high-pitched and shrill, like a female ghost from a horror movie!
My heart skipped a beat. There really was something there, and the sound was clearly coming from a person, definitely not an animal!
Hiding there at this hour, and not making a move yet, trying to ambush us, they're really persistent.
Regardless of whether it was the original, silent monster, there's only one thing I'm certain of: this thing is absolutely disgusting.
However, the wailing only lasted for a few seconds before suddenly disappearing, leaving only the crackling sound of burning flames and the scorching sound of burning weeds around them.
Apart from that, there wasn't even the slightest struggle.
"It burned out?"
Yi Yi's eyes widened, her disbelief clearly written on her face.
Old Liu was also stunned for a moment, then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and slumped down there.
"I think so... This is the first time I've encountered something like this. I thought it was a huge fish."
Old Liu's voice carried a hint of lingering fear, while I frowned, feeling that something was amiss.
This thing can't be that monster from before, right?
The corpse we just saw, the fake corpse that Lao Liu was talking about, could revive even after being struck by a lightning sword.
To be precise, it wasn't a resurrection, but a rebirth. But how could this thing be burned away by a fire of engine oil?
This vitality is a bit too fragile.
"Master Liu, are you sure this ordinary fire can burn that thing to death? Don't let it catch up with us again..."
I stepped forward and approached Lao Liu to press him for answers.
"I'm just trying it out on a whim. I think it should be able to burn him to death, right? Judging from his voice just now, he's not moving anymore..."
Old Liu scratched his head, looking somewhat uncertain.
At this moment, Yiyi nodded in agreement.
My heart sank. Indeed, the wailing just now was too loud and disappeared too quickly. It couldn't have been faked.
That's incredibly resilient; engine oil fires are much hotter than regular fires.
When they saw the two of us, they hesitated for a moment, but Lao Liu quickly stood up.
"Let's go, forget about it. If this thing comes along, we'll figure something out!"
We quickly dusted ourselves off and got into the car.
Old Liu was also behind, and after watching for a while, he poured a full bucket of engine oil and continued to spread the fire.
There was a very relaxed feeling in his eyes.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, I observed Lao Liu's expression and felt a little puzzled.
This is, after all, a shallow area. He can't just burn it all down indiscriminately, can he? If he did, wouldn't the managers he mentioned come looking for him?
Burning things indiscriminately should also be punished, right?
However, this is only a shallow layer.
To be able to start a fire in a place like this, I think Old Liu's engine oil is definitely not an ordinary product.
Old Liu certainly has a lot of good stuff on him.
