"Do you need me to do it myself? But the problem is that I don't. Li Xiao's brows furrowed.

"It's okay to pound some anesthetics with a grinder, but let me use this complicated workbench, isn't this a duck to the shelf?"

He stood in front of his workbench, at a loss.

But when he opened the implant menu, he noticed something different - one more item in several details:

【Workbench】

Standing in front of the workbench, this option will appear automatically, and if you take a few steps back, this option will disappear again......

Standard game routine!

Click on this option and a 3D image will open, which is the projection of the workbench in front of you, and above the projection, there is a row of small words prompting: Place the material on the workbench to start the production.

Next to the image, there are options for drawings that require a workbench to create.

"It looks like you don't have to do it yourself." Li Xiao seems to be able to use this workbench.

He put metal ingots, wood, and other materials for making metal axes on the workbench, and chose to make them.

I saw a pair of white hands appear out of thin air, it crossed its fingers, stretched its waist and began to make.

"Ding! Bite! It picked up a hammer and struck it.

On the workbench in front of Li Xiao, a hammer also flew up in the air, striking the metal ingot he had placed on the table.

"High-end! Really high-end! But Li Xiao still has a question, is the white hand of this workbench making the pair in the column by himself?

He opened the production bar again and looked up—

I saw a pair of white hands also busy, making wooden chairs for Li Xiao.

It found that Li Xiao was observing it, and with one palm turned its head to look at Li Xiao humanely, and then after making a disdainful gesture, it turned its head and continued its work.

It seemed to be angry that Li Xiao had made it work day and night for the past few days......

"Well, it doesn't look like they're the same hands." Li Xiao touched his nose in embarrassment, "I said that the hands on the workbench didn't react when they saw me?" ”

White Hand: "......"

The prompt beeps several times in succession, indicating that more than one item has been crafted.

Looking towards the workbench, the production had stopped, the hammer that had been flying just now had stopped, and the small furnace that was blazing had been extinguished......

An epic iron axe glittering with metallic light sits on the table of the crafting table.

On closer inspection, the surface of this metal axe is smooth and as bright as a mirror. The axe head and handle are made of one piece of metal, but the grip is tightly wrapped in animal skin fibers, which makes it look extremely useful.

Li Xiao picked up the metal axe and played with it in his hand, and easily took out the stone axe in the inventory and threw it out according to the outside of the courtyard!

He likes the new and hates the old, and he doesn't want to see it again for a second......

In the inventory, a table and a chair were also made, and Li Xiao placed them in the kitchen - they can be used as both a cutting board and a dining table, killing two birds with one stone!

After the placement was completed, the small wooden house was no longer empty, but full of people.

With a little more decorations, the decoration in this hut can be considered a complete "graduation"!

What needs to be changed outside the house is the planting area, and he has unlocked the fertilizer box, and he has not bothered to make fertilizer.

The berry plants in the fields have long been ripe and continue to bear fruit, but because there is no fertilizer, these berries are not luxuriant, and can only barely supply the dinosaurs in the pen.

If you tame a few more herbivorous creatures, the food supply will be a problem......

Fertilization is a priority!

Making fertilizer is not a clean job, all Li Xiao needs to do is collect the dinosaurs' manure into a fertilizer box, mix it with the thatch, and wait for it to ferment......

In the game, dinosaur feces are ball-shaped, and the player only needs to collect them in their inventory.

But in this reality, collecting feces is definitely not that simple!

Depending on the dinosaur species, the feces they pull out are also different-

Some are like dog shit, some are like cow dung, and some are even worse...... Lash!

The dodo is a prime example!

Li Xiao stuffed a ball of cloth in his nose and got busy......

(The following content is omitted because it is really heavy!) ）

……

Legend has it that with a bow in hand and a well-made animal skin suit, Li Xiao's current combat power is already quite good!

In the entire southern area of Ark Island, as long as Li Xiao didn't provoke the dangerous Scythe Dragon, he could act at will in the entire southern region.

Now he has explored most of the southern area of Ark Island, and he has not visited only near the red monument in the southwest.

So he decided to explore the southwest of Ark Island in the next few days!

There are two ways to go:

One is to ride a velociraptor and pass through the interior.

But this approach has its drawbacks. The terrain along the way is complicated, with ravines and hills, and it is impossible to travel in a straight line.

And there will be a lot of carnivorous creatures along the way, although those carnivorous creatures are not a big threat to Li Xiao now, but they are not particularly safe after all......

And the other way......

Li Xiao looked at the coast - that is, to build a raft, drive the raft along the coast to the southeast cape first, and then from the cape to the west to the southwest!

Compared with taking land, the safety factor of this waterway is much greater. The sea is dangerous, but the surface of the sea is very different, and the raft is even more dangerous because it travels only along the shallow part of the coast.

And go down the river, don't worry about any detours, and the travel speed must be extremely fast.

The two roads were so compared, Li Xiao decisively chose to take the waterway.

Time is precious, Li Xiao immediately let the raft be made with his own hands, and he himself began to prepare things for the trip.

……

Standing on the shore, Li Xiao stretched out his hand and put the made raft directly on the sea.

The raft is not small, in the form of a boxy square. Although it is a raft, this raft is almost the same as a boat:

In front of the raft was a standing mast with sails sewn from animal skin fibers; Behind the raft was a long log inserted diagonally into the water, which was being used to control the rudder; On both sides of the raft, there are also fixed oars......

There was a lot of space on the raft, and Li Xiao placed a storage box, a bench and a bed on it.

Now, the raft becomes a mobile "living area".

The time for this trip to explore must not be too short, and Li Xiao prepared a lot of food for the creatures in the enclosure.

After settling the velociraptor and taking good care of the house, Li Xiao untied the rope of the raft tied to the stone.

Raise the sail and adjust the direction of the sail to stretch it into the wind.

The wind from the sea carried the raft south......

"The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains."

Gradually became familiar with the control of the raft, and the speed of the raft also increased, but in an hour or two, Li Xiao arrived at the southeast cape.

Further south, is the southeast paradise island, the last trip did not have a chance to come here, this time Li Xiao drove a raft, to go to the island for a walk.

This southeast island has many names: Vegetarian Island, Crescent Island, Beginner's Paradise......

Vegetarian Island means that there are no carnivores on the island, Crescent Island means that the island looks like a crescent moon, and the novice paradise side means that there is almost no danger on this island, and it is the best place for newbies.

However, Li Xiao has now passed the precarious nascent period, and the island has lost its greatest significance.

"The scenery on this island is good, you can come here for a vacation or something in the future......"

Li Xiao said, stepped on the raft again, and turned to head west......

The water is sparkling, and several seabird-like creatures float on the surface, occasionally burrowing into the water and latching on to a fish.

They look like seagulls, but they are much larger than seagulls, about the same size as toothless pterosaurs!

Li Xiao, who was familiar with the creatures of the Ark, understood that it was a unique creature on the Ark's ocean, the pseudo-toothed bird.

This creature can also be tamed as a mount, but its flight speed is not as fast as that of a pterodactyl, and its weight-bearing capacity is even worse, and it is not easy to tame, so it is a very chicken mount.

Li Xiao was not interested in taming it, so he drove past it on a raft......

Time flies, and when the time comes to the afternoon, Li Xiao has already arrived in the southern islands.

On a small island at the southernmost tip of the archipelago is a unique geomorphological area called the karst landscape.

Here, densely covered with strange-looking "stone trees", this place will form a "stone forest"!

It is exactly what players call the "Stone Forest".

Li Xiao stopped the raft and walked in, intending to take a look, there were no dangerous animals here, he didn't have to worry.

The stones on this island are very unique, some of the stones that are a little taller can reach thirty or forty meters!

What's even more peculiar is that each "stone tree" here is independent and separated from each other. The wide part can accommodate three or four people walking side by side, and the narrow part is only a palm's width......

Li Xiao even saw a lot of stone trees that were thin at the bottom and thick at the top.

The narrow part below is only the thickness of the bowl mouth, but it still supports the weight of 100 tons above!

Nature's magic is truly amazing!

After Li Xiao watched and admired for a while, he was about to leave on a raft.

When he was about to leave, Li Xiao noticed something strange - it seemed to be getting hotter and hotter here!

Standing still for a while, Li Xiao was sure that it was not here that it was getting hot, but that the entire Ark Island was getting hot!

One word popped into his head - Heat Storm!

Ark Island is unpredictable in climate change, and there are often extreme climate changes, and this heat storm is also one of the extreme climates!

When a heat storm occurs, the ground temperature rises to an extremely high point in a matter of minutes! At that time, the blazing sun would bake everything on the ground violently, and the high temperature could easily cause flammable materials to spontaneously combust!

If the flesh is exposed to this sunlight without shelter, it can cause severe burns in a matter of seconds!

If you look directly at the sun at this moment...... Hmph, you'll have to live with the darkness in the future.

After a while, the air gradually took on a hint of red......

Breathe in the air in your nose with the same burning sensation!

The creatures around them are gone, and they must have all taken refuge in their nests. Li Xiao also understood the severity of this hot storm, and he hurriedly looked for shelter.

Fortunately, this is a stone forest, and there is no shortage of places to block the sun......

Gradually, the temperature in the air is getting higher and higher, and the heat storm is completely hit!

Li Xiao hid under a rock, and all he had left was a coarse cloth trouser that came with his resurrection......

But despite this, he was still sweating all the time.

Sweat soaked the sand on the ground, but in an instant the water in the sand evaporated and turned into dry sand again.

Li Xiao can only keep drinking water to keep his water from losing too much.

But in his inventory, there is only one bag of water, and after more than an hour of consumption, it has bottomed out!

There are rivers all around, and Li Xiao, who has a big heart, doesn't store too much water in his inventory, but who would have thought that there would be a heat storm?!

It's been almost two months since he came to Ark Island, and Li Xiao has never encountered a heat storm, and he still thinks that there is no such extreme weather here.

The heat storm was still continuing, and it seemed that it would not stop for a while and a half, Li Xiao frowned, and made a difficulty.

The water is gone, and if you continue like this, you will definitely die of dehydration, you have to find a way!

His gaze turned to the center of Stone Forest Island......

"If memory serves, there's a big lake in the middle of the Stone Forest!"

He knew he had to act, and he couldn't sit still!

Through the shadow under the stone, Li Xiao approached the center of the stone forest.

The shadows under the stone were not connected, and he had to pass through several places that were not sheltered in the slightest.

Looking at the shiny ground in front of him, Li Xiao licked his chapped lips, and his head spun around.

After only ten minutes of water cut-off, he showed symptoms of dehydration!

Gritting his teeth, Li Xiao draped the animal skin coat he had taken off on his body and rushed towards the shadow opposite!

"Ah~" Li Xiao groaned bitterly.

Stepping on the sand on the ground, the scorching temperature instantly spread to Li Xiao's feet through his shoes!

It's like running on a hot pan!

But that's not the point, the point is that being exposed to the sun, the bare skin between Li Xiao's clothes was burned in an instant!

The temperature of the sun is as good as a flame!

Li Xiao rushed into the shadows and endured the pain to check his injuries, but fortunately, the burned area was not large.

Unexpectedly, after a distance of two or three meters and a little more than a second, I was burned by the scorching sun!

The power of this hot storm once again impressed Li Xiao!

But he didn't have time to sigh, he immediately walked towards the center again......

After a few more short walks in the sun, Li Xiao had a few more burns on his body!

He was so angry that he wanted to scold the street!

"M's! When I go back this time, I will definitely make a big blanket out of animal skins, and I can wrap my whole body with several layers of head and feet! ”

Fortunately, Li Xiao arrived at his destination - in the center of the stone forest, a lake with a large area was displayed in front of him!

But the question is, there is no place around the lake to block the sun, how can I get there?

The feeling of fainting came again, Li Xiao's eyes were a little ghosted, and he knew that he couldn't wait any longer!

"Fight!" He let out a low roar and rushed over in his animal skins......

"Plop!"

Li Xiao took a leap and jumped into the water!

The water in the lake is not cool, but warm.

However, compared to the high temperature on the ground, the water is already extremely cool.

Li Xiao's entire body was soaked in water, and he was still desperately swallowing the lake water in his mouth. Although this water is fresh, it still has a hint of saltiness, and it seems that the salt content is not low.

However, this just replenished the salt that Li Xiao had lost......

Unable to hold his breath, Li Xiao poked his head out of the lake, took a breath and immediately sank into the water again.

His body surface was stained with water, and this water became his protective film, providing protection from burns for Li Xiao's breathing......

Gradually, Li Xiao's dehydration symptoms disappeared. But the heat storm was still violent, and he could only occasionally poke his head out and take a breath, and he didn't dare to go out at all!

In this way, Li Xiao hid in the water, waiting for the end of the heat storm......
