Chapter 17: One Month
The domesticated creatures at home have not been fed for three days, and they must be starving.
Sure enough, as soon as they walked into the courtyard, many creatures shouted at Li Xiao.
Except for the free-moving pterosaurs and alarm clocks, which still look shiny, the remaining dodos and velociraptors in the enclosures are all yellow-faced and thin.
Li Xiao hurriedly fed them food, and watching them gobble up, Li Xiao once again resented the two griffins......
The food reserves at home are running out, and we have to go out and collect some more, after all, the plants are still growing.
Speaking of plants, Li Xiao showed a hint of a smile, and finally there was something pleasant-
In the cultivated land in the farmland area, many emerald green seedlings have emerged from the soil, showing the breath of life......
Although there is less fertilizer, but look at the growth of these plants is not bad, presumably in another half a month, these berry plants can grow and bear fruit!
There are no four seasons on Ark Island, as long as the plants are ripe, they can provide a steady stream of food!
On two consecutive trips, Li Xiao explored the entire east coast of Ark Island.
His heart grew heavy. "Am I alone on this island?"
He didn't dare to imagine, so he could only pin his hopes on the remaining unexplored places.
But he actually knew in his heart that there was a high probability that he was the only one on this island.
With a long sigh, Li Xiao retracted his thoughts and returned his attention to reality.
The waves are over, and the next thing is to be at ease and develop obscenely......
While feeding the dodo, Li Xiao discovered something terrible!
On the thatch in the aviary, a round egg with a beautiful pattern was shining charmingly!
The dodo lays eggs?!
This sudden surprise made Li Xiao so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He rolled over and leaped into the aviary, heading for the eggs......
Boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, steamed egg custard......
His eyes were staring at the egg, and his mind was already thinking about how to eat it.
As he walked, his saliva dripped from his ......
But the dodos in the enclosure don't want to!
Although after Li Xiao fed them a few times, these dodos had let down their guard against Li Xiao, but he definitely couldn't touch their eggs!
In front of the righteousness of protecting the eggs, these dodos all stood up, and they stood in front of the eggs without hesitation, and surrounded the eggs with their bodies!
Life can be wanted, eggs must be protected!
Their eyes stared at Li Xiao viciously, swearing to protect the birds' eggs!
And Li Xiao has already put life and death aside in front of the food, and the atmosphere between the two parties is becoming more and more tense.
His footsteps stopped, and his eyes were full of murderous intent!
How lonely was he in front of such a large number of dodos......
Both sides have reasons that cannot be changed, and it seems that an earth-shattering war is inevitable!
Seeing this, the velociraptor "Xiao Xun" hurriedly got back into his circle and curled up......
Seeing this scene, the dodo "alarm clock" rushed back to the wooden house, and shivered in Li Xiao's bed......
When the pterosaur "Little Silver" saw this, he screamed in panic and flapped his wings towards the sky......
The breath of the two centaurs dropped to the freezing point, driving the temperature in the aviary to fly down, and even the railings were covered with a thin layer of ice!
A cold wind blew, and the sand blew up blinded the eyes of the dodos.
Finally, Li Xiao moved......
(The later scene is too bloody and violent, not suitable for children, so I won't repeat it!) )
Five minutes later......
The water in the stone pot gurgled and boiled, and the water vapor slowly dispersed.
In the boiling water, an egg the size of a fist tumbled underneath the water......
In the end, Li Xiao decided to cook it, he wanted to try the original taste of the dodo eggs.
At this moment, he is holding a bowl of cold water in one hand and chopsticks in the other, always ready to take out the eggs as soon as they are cooked.
His eyes were fixed on the water, not caring about the mess on his body.
I saw that he was covered with feathers, his clothes were in tatters, and there were a lot of blood marks on his face......
It was the result of the great battle just now-
Who wins and who loses? You can tell by the eggs in the pot.
About to touch, Li Xiao hurriedly put out the egg. Rinse and peel in one go.
The milky white egg white Q bomb was extremely high, and it was still steaming, and when he bit down, Li Xiao's eyes enjoyed it.
Compared with eggs, dodo eggs have a little more fishy smell, but this is still a rare delicacy for Li Xiao.
The corners of his eyes once again filled with tears......
It's worth it, it's all worth it!
——
Upgrading and perfecting the shelter facilities is now the next few days.
However, before this, he felt that he urgently needed a mount that could travel, and after a few trips, Li Xiao also found that relying only on his two legs was too inefficient.
In particular, the inventory space is limited, so you can't put too many things, and you have to run back and forth several times to get all the resources you collect.
The velociraptor has been tamed, but it will take some time to ride it, and it is not a creature that can carry heavy loads.
The one that can carry loads and travel is now only the Vice-Tencosaurus, and it just so happens that he has unlocked its saddle blueprint.
arranged for the white hand to make the saddle of the auxiliary ctenosaurus in the crafting column, and Li Xiao himself went out with the meteor hammer and stick, ready to tame a secondary ctenosaurus.
There is no need to talk about the specific taming process, after all, this ctenophorus can be seen everywhere, and there are artifacts such as meteor hammers, which are very easy to tame.
Not long after, Li Xiao led a tall vice-ctenophorus back.
Li Xiao has already given this dark green sub-ctenophorus a name, and the name is as powerful and domineering as usual, it is called - Little Green!
Vice-Ctenosaurus: "......"
Just as the saddle was made with his white hands, Li Xiao took it out of the inventory and fixed it directly to the back of the deputy dragon.
Made from scratch, the quality must be excellent. The saddle consists of three parts – a seat and two larger rucksacks.
The saddle is mostly made of leather, and the color is also reddish-brown of leather.
If you look closely, the stitches are dense and neatly cut, and as long as the belt under the dragon's neck and belly is tightened, the whole saddle will be firmly fixed to the back of the parasaurus.
A long leather strap is attached to the chew in the mouth of the parasaurus, and if you pull it, the parasaurus will rotate in the direction of the pull.
Turning over the dragon, the place where the butt meets the saddle is elastic and very comfortable. Moreover, the place where the saddle comes into contact with the parasaurus is also soft leather, so that the parasaurus carrying people on its back also does not feel the slightest discomfort.
Coupled with two large leather bags on either side of the dragon's back, this ctenosaurus looks like it is fully armed.
Although the speed of the parasaurus was not as fast as that of the velociraptor, it was not much slower, anyway, it was much faster than Li Xiao.
In this way, Li Xiao rode the Vice-Ctenophorus and collected supplies around the small plain.
——
Time flies, and twenty days have passed......
In an open space under the wall, a thatched dummy stood by the wall.
On the dummy's chest, a crooked circle was drawn in soot.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air, and an arrow stabbed the dummy, and the strong force actually pierced directly through the circle in his chest and directly into the wooden wall behind the dummy.
The arrow penetrated into the wood very deeply, and the tail of the arrow continued to tremble under this strong force, making a "buzzing" sound.
Before the arrow could drain the kinetic energy, several more arrows flew one by one!
As soon as his mind moved, the arrows in the inventory appeared directly in his hand, which greatly increased Li Xiao's archery speed.
Bang! Bang! Bang! These arrows are faster than the other!
And these arrows are also extremely powerful, and they all pierce the straw man one by one.
If you look closely, these arrows have not deviated from the circle on the straw man's chest!
If an insider sees such a scene, he will clap his hands and sigh for a good archery......
Li Xiao, who was twenty meters away, slowly put down the longbow in his hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
In the past twenty days, his bow and arrow skills have been greatly improved.
But this is still not enough for Li Xiao, if he wants to survive on this dangerous Ark Island, this skill is just a few scratches.
He rolled over and jumped onto the back of the vice-crow, allowing the vice-crows to jog while he continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows, and practiced riding and archery......
I think that in the original history, the northern nomadic Mongolia relied on skillful riding and archery to conquer large and small countries and lay down a vast territory.
Li Xiao is not a person with a very high IQ, nor is he a genius who is proficient in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
The crossing of those geniuses will use extremely high knowledge to make them live like a fish in water in the other world-
Gunpowder, explosives from simple minerals...... Smelting steel, alloys, and making firearms with primitive productivity......
He didn't understand any of this, and he didn't have that ability.
All he can do is keep working hard to strengthen his own strength! Follow the pace of level improvement and strengthen your strength bit by bit!
Fortunately, he is a person who can endure hardships and has enough patience to exercise himself and train his skills......
In the past 20 days, he has not only practiced his skills, but also done a lot of other things.
For example, the courtyard on this small plain has changed greatly from twenty days ago:
The courtyard has more than doubled in size, occupying nearly half of the small plain.
The original courtyard wall surrounded by horses has also been changed - it took Li Xiao a few days to enclose the expanded courtyard with wooden walls.
Then a horse was placed at intervals outside the wooden wall to make the place an impregnable courtyard......
Oh yes, for this size, this yard should be called a manor by now!
——
On the vast grassland, an enraged triceratops ran, chasing the parasaurus in front of it.
The Triceratops's thick limbs moved, and with its nearly two-ton body, it rushed madly towards the parasaurus in front!
The heavy size makes the ground tremble with it!
However, the parasaurus in front of it ...... No, there is one more person on the back of the parasaurus......
The speed of the man and the dragon in front of it was a few points faster than it! Let this triceratops hang behind them without touching them.
The man and dragon in front of him are not just running away.
I saw that the figure on the back of the parasaurus turned around from time to time and shot at the triceratops behind him with the longbow full of his hand.
The arrows pierced through the air, each arrow at a tricky angle, bypassing the hard bone plates on the triceratops' head and into his body, which was not protected by the bone plates.
At first, the triceratops didn't care, its skin was rough and thick, and these "branches" could only barely pierce its skin, but it didn't do much damage at all.
As long as it can catch up with these two abominable creatures, it will pierce them with three sharp bone spurs in its head!
But gradually, it became frightened, and it found that its strength was rapidly draining!
The "branches" tied to its body kept its blood flowing, and it felt like it was slowly becoming weak.
Finally, instead of chasing the man and the dragon, it chose to turn and run away, going in the opposite direction.
It's a pity that it's hard to catch up, and it's even harder to escape!
After it turned around, the man and dragon who were being chased also turned around and began to chase it!
The chaser, the chased, changed in an instant......
After a few minutes......
The triceratops is getting slower and slower, and it can only move slowly.
The next second, it fell, gasping for breath, but its body was getting weaker and weaker.
It had a premonition that its life was coming to an end, but it had no power to return to the sky, so it could only whisper and let out a mournful whisper......
A person and a dragon who had been hanging far behind him walked up at this moment.
I saw the figure turn over and jump down, and the bow in his hand was replaced by a spear!
The figure walked up to the triceratops, leaned down, and gently placed its palm on its face.
The man made a sound at the triceratops that the triceratops didn't understand......
Then he got up and aimed the spear in his hand at the eye of the triceratops!
"Boom!" The tip of the spear pierced deep into the triceratops's eye socket and into its brain, ending its painful life......
——
In the evening, under a waterfall on the north side of the small plain.
A topless figure burst out of the quiet water.
The water ran down his wet hair and back into the lake.
This man's naked upper body looks very beautiful, with bronzed skin, streamlined muscles, and an angular abdomen without a trace of fat......
If this figure were in another place, it would definitely make thousands of young girls and young women crazy!
Looking at this person's appearance, it is Li Xiao.
He took the bloodstained jacket from the shore and dipped it in the lake, rubbing his hands together.
The blood on his clothes spread out along the water, staining the lake beside him with a faint shade of red.
After rubbing for a while, Li Xiao wrung out his clothes and wiped them twice on his face.
Soaking the clothes again and wringing them out, Li Xiao found that the sleeves of the cloth were already somewhat damaged, he thought about it, and simply tore off the two sleeves of the shirt.
Putting the wet "vest" on his body, Li Xiao walked out of the water like this.
When the deputy ctenophorus on the shore saw Li Xiao, he affectionately arched Li Xiao with his head.
"Little Green, don't make trouble, it's time to go back."
He rolled over and rode onto the parasaurus, leaning backwards on the parasaurus' back.
The reins were casually placed on his lap, Li Xiao closed his eyes, and let the deputy tenosaurus rush freely towards the small plain.
One person and one dragon, leisurely, heading in the direction of home......
At the edge of the swamp, a bucket-sized python spotted this leisurely man and dragon!
There was no emotion in its eyes, and it spat out the letter and headed towards them, and it seemed that its dinner had been over......
The eyes of the parasaurus were excellent, and he spotted this giant python from a distance, and it let out a rapid low roar, warning Li Xiao on his back.
Li Xiao, who was in a daze, opened one eye and saw the giant python coming towards this side.
He sat up. After stretching, he unhurriedly took the bow and arrow from his inventory.
Draw the bow, aim, shoot the arrow! Retract your bow and lie back on the back of the ctenophora.
This series of actions was completed in one go, and it only took a second or two.
He closed his eyes again, not in the slightest interest in checking his results......
The ctenosaurus regained its momentum and headed towards the small plains.
Then, an upgrade prompt sounded on Li Xiao's arm.
A smile appeared on his face.
Next to the swamp not far away, the giant python with the size of a bucket was motionless at the moment!
It has an arrow stuck in its eye, reaching the end of its tail feathers......
