Chapter 456: 242: Ultimate secret weapon! (Important, must order)

Thunder Archipelago.

This archipelago is three times larger than the Archipelagos of Rock and lies hundreds of miles away from Yingzhou.

Now, it has become the new dwelling place for the Rock people.

Yan Mo, leading over seventy thousand Rock citizens, has been here in Thunder Archipelago for nearly a month, and the place is still in need of development.

The Rock people need to build their own houses, docks, and so on.

The new Yan King’s Palace is definitely not as grand and majestic as the one in the Archipelagos of Rock, being merely a small stone castle.

Yan Mo, as the new king, is also tirelessly busy building a new home.

Meanwhile, he has heard several pieces of news.

The first one, the Sea God is dead, the Archipelagos of Rock have completely collapsed and sunk into the vast ocean.

At that time, he wasn’t moved because this proved his path was correct: the Archipelagos of Rock could no longer continue, and leaving was the only option.

The second, Little Princess Yan Xue’er led the Queen’s Island Fleet to Tianshui City.

He was slightly moved because his sister, Yan Xue’er, was the closest person to him. Ultimately, she chose to go to a strange place, choosing her already deceased biological father.

"My King, a secret message from Young Lord Hai Wuyan," a Rock Warrior entered and delivered a secret letter.

Yan Mo opened it and his expression changed instantly.

It read: Suo Lun is not dead, the Yan Queen is not dead, leading the Queen’s Island Fleet back to Tian Shui City, what would you do next?

However, after reading it, Yan Mo’s expression changed only briefly!

In fact, the secret message from Hai Wuyan claiming that the Yan Queen was not dead was utterly scheming, hoping to make Yan Mo feel that his kingship was under threat. The plan was to entice Yan Mo to send the Rock Pirates to join the great army to destroy not only Suo Lun but also the Yan Queen.

Yan Mo snorted coldly, Hai Wuyan really had the heart of a scoundrel.

If Suo Lun is not dead, then so be it.

As for the Queen not being dead, he felt only joy and nothing else within.

However, he was now the new Yan King, so the Yan Queen would henceforth vanish from this world.

If the Queen Island Fleet chose to be loyal to Suo Lun, then from now on, they would no longer be Rock Pirates, no longer Rock citizens.

Everyone goes their separate ways until death, that’s all there is to it!

...

The Queen’s Island Fleet docked at the port of Tian Shui City for supplies.

Meanwhile, Suo Lun, aboard the ship, headed southeast.

After sailing hundreds of miles, he had left the coastal area of Tianshui City and had now entered the waters of the Barbarian Tribes.

At this time, there were few ships on the sea.

Pirates would plunder anyone but were unwilling to rob the Barbarian Tribes because the tribes hardly had any boats at sea.

Merchants would do business with anyone, but never with the Barbarians, for they feared being torn to pieces and turned into minced meat at the mere sight of a Barbarian.

The waters of the Barbarian Tribes remained a completely undeveloped area.

After sailing for a day and a night.

"Master, it’s not far ahead," Sorcerer Yaomeng said.

A few tens of thousands of meters ahead, they could already see an island, a barren yet vast one.

Half an hour later, Suo Lun landed on this island.

The island was large, covering several hundred square kilometers, but it was relatively barren with few plants. Moreover, there was a huge depression in the middle.

"Master, please," Sorcerer Yaomeng led Suo Lun and Yan Nai’er into the depths of the island.

In the center of the island, there were already dozens of tents pitched, with hundreds of people secretly stationed there.

"Master, this is the place," Sorcerer Yaomeng pointed out.

Instantly, Suo Lun saw a deep hole with a diameter of several tens of meters.

Peering down, just a dozen meters from the hole was a thick black liquid emitting a pungent odor.

Suo Lun recognized the substance at a glance, crude oil!

Moreover, it was nearly an open-air oil well.

The discovery of this oil well was also thanks to Sorcerer Yaomeng’s efforts. As a Magician, she traveled the world in search of various minerals and rare materials.

Sorcerer Yaomeng came to this desolate island in the Barbarians’ waters in search of a rare crystal, but unexpectedly discovered this oil well.

She took some samples for analysis and found that aside from burning, it was not much use.

Moreover, even used for burning, it produced a pungent toxic smoke, so she didn’t take it too seriously and didn’t think it was of much value.

Nevertheless, as a Magician, when she discovered these unknown substances, she faithfully recorded them.

Later, after she pledged loyalty to Suo Lun, all her materials, including the records of this oil well, were handed over to Suo Lun.

Facing tens of thousands of naval forces aiming to destroy Suo Lun, he had no chance of fighting back.

Therefore, he sought naval battle strategies everywhere.

Then, in Sorcerer Yaomeng’s records, he found this open-air oil well.

Consequently, he thought of using fire, and it was an extraordinary kind, a life-eradicating fire attack.

At the time, however, he was in a hurry to get to the Archipelagos of Rock, so he had no time to come to this oil barren island.

But he had gradually sent hundreds of people to land on the island and start extracting from this oil well.

"Is this black oil easy to extract?" Suo Lun asked.

"Very easy; we simply lower the buckets down, fill them up, and pull them back up," Suo Mu said. "And strangely, after we extract hundreds to thousands of barrels a day, you’d think the well is almost depleted. But by the next day, it’s pretty much full again."

That’s not surprising; it appears this whole island, and even the waters around it, are filled with large reserves of crude oil. When the oil in this well is mostly extracted, the surrounding crude oil automatically flows in to replenish it.
