After entering Dabu, Chen Wangping walked behind the oil pump expectantly.
More than a dozen large barrels filled with oil were placed side by side and covered with sealed lids.
Chen Wangping lifted the lid and took a look. The oil inside looked very fine and had a faint pungent aroma.
He didn't pay much attention to it, but raised his hand to collect the barrels and put them in the storage compartment to check their properties:
【Refined crude oil】×156
【Application: Chemical raw materials】
[Note: Blood flowing in industrial pipes]
In more than three hours, a total of 156 units of finished crude oil were harvested, which was a good harvest.
As long as the production technology is upgraded, these refined crude oil products can be put to use immediately.
For now, let's try fishing for an octopus.
Chen Wangping searched the storage compartment and found a small bucket. He temporarily placed it on the outlet pipe of the oil pump and filled it with crude oil.
Then, he came back to the remote area, hung the small barrel of crude oil on the fishhook, and let it slowly sink into the black oil.
Use crude oil to catch octopus.
In the vast universe, Chen Wangping can be considered a scorpion's poop - unique and poisonous.
Chen Wangping himself didn't think anything of it. He looked around happily while fishing.
No matter what the bait is, as long as it can catch fish, it is a good bait!
The finished crude oil slowly fell into the black oil, and the small part on the top quickly merged into the black oil and dissipated.
However, crude oil evaporates very slowly, not as fast as fishing in water.
Chen Wangping waited patiently for a full ten minutes before he saw that the closest large black, oily bubble seemed to sense the scent of crude oil, shuddered and shook on the spot, and then began to move greedily to the left and right.
Chen Wangping: “???”
What's wrong with this guy? Is he too drunk on oil?
Why don't you come in a straight line?
You're not fishing for crabs, why are you drawing circles?
He continued observing for a while and finally understood.
My goodness, this octopus is so greedy.
The reason why this octopus moves left and right is because it wants to absorb all the evaporated finished crude oil, that is, it swims in circles like a mosquito coil.
At this rate, the octopus will take at least two minutes to swim over.
Chen Wangping continued to observe boredly. As he watched, he discovered that this octopus might not be greedy. It seemed to be preventing the refined crude oil from continuing to flow to other locations so that other octopuses would discover it and come to snatch the refined crude oil.
"It seems like there's a lot of competition among these octopuses."
Chen Wangping continued to wait for a while, and finally saw an octopus the size of a truck tire swimming towards him.
What surprised him was that the skin of this octopus was only purple-black, and it was not covered with black oil like the previous mutated octopuses. It looked like an octopus that lived in the sea.
Looking closely, he discovered that the two rearmost tentacles of the octopus were covered with black oil, and the black oil was still wriggling, as if something invisible to the naked eye was swallowing the black oil.
Chen Wangping looked at the fishing field and judging from the characteristics of the bubbles, other octopuses that can be fished should be the same.
"Forget it, let's catch it first and study it later."
He concentrated his attention and slowly lifted the barrel of refined crude oil, attracting the octopus to the surface of the black oil. He continued to wait for the octopus to wrap its body around the barrel of refined crude oil, then he immediately pulled up the fishing rod with force.
"puff"
The octopus, which had never felt anything like this, frantically flailed around, letting go of the barrel of refined crude oil and breaking free from the hook.
As soon as Chen Wangping felt the fish hook was off, he immediately picked up the fishing rod, swung it in the air, and threw the fish hook down again. At the same time, he shook his wrist rapidly, controlling the fish hook to circle around the octopus and directly tied the octopus with the fishing line.
The panicked octopus also felt trapped, and raised its hands and used its tentacles to try to free the fishing line.
But Chen Wangping would never give it this opportunity. He used his whipping skills without hesitation, drove the fire tendon, and hit the octopus's head that had just emerged with the tip of the fishing rod.
"Snap"
The blow caused black oil to splatter everywhere, and the octopus felt dizzy.
"It's a pity there's too much black oil in here, so we can't use electricity recklessly. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such trouble."
Chen Wangping missed the days of fishing in Yongjiang.
While the octopus was dizzy, he quickly pulled up the hook. Seeing that the octopus was producing black oil, he simply reached out and grabbed the octopus's tentacles, ready to pull it up.
But when he grabbed them, he found that there seemed to be a layer of mucus on the octopuses, making them slippery and impossible to hold.
Fortunately, the octopus came to its senses at this time and felt Chen Wangping's hand. It subconsciously sucked his hand with its suction cup, trying to imitate the big octopus and pull Chen Wangping into the black oil.
But when Chen Wangping saw the octopus actively sticking to him, he immediately became happy.
I was just worried that I couldn't catch you, and now you come to help me.
This is courting death.
With a thought, a blue-purple electric current surged from his arm, instantly paralyzing the octopus. Then he swung his arm with force and smashed the octopus directly onto the ground next to him.
At the moment when the octopus left the black oil, Chen Wangping suddenly saw the black oil on the two tentacles of the octopus wrapped in black oil move by itself, instantly breaking away from the octopus tentacles and moving into the black oil. The way it moved was like a non-Newtonian fluid in oscillation, sliding and jumping.
"What is this? A bug?"
Chen Wangping threw a lightning arrow cautiously.
The electric arrow hit the black oil, and immediately a ball of sparks flew out, accompanied by a burnt smell. The black oil turned into a solid pool and stopped jumping.
"It's not a bug? What is it?"
Chen Wangping had been observing the situation. After the spark hit the black oil, no blood streaks appeared on it, indicating that there were no living creatures like insects or octopus parasites inside.
He frowned, making a note of this before turning to check on the mutant octopus.
From the appearance, the mutant octopus without the two black oily tentacles became much more normal, with slippery mucus all over its body and many black spots on its skin like a Dalmatian.
[Juvenile mutant octopus]
[Use: Food, spell material]
[Movement method: Don't move if you can]
[Special Effect - Crude Oil Resistance: The mutant octopus has lived in black oil for years, and has evolved the innate ability to resist crude oil toxicity. Consuming it can slightly increase resistance to crude oil volatile toxicity.]
[Supplementary information from the illustration: There are many mutant octopuses in black oil. When they are young and have not yet swallowed the black oil, they can be washed with weak alkaline water before being eaten. After they grow in size and have swallowed the black oil, they are not edible.]
[Recommended recipe: Grilled octopus with garlic sauce]
[Note: After eating grilled octopus, you will find something unexpected]
