Chapter 34: The Giant Eagle Crisis
The sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves creates pillars of light between the trees.
These pillars of light change their angle as the sun's position changes, and when the sun sets, they also shine obliquely on the ground, and their light is no longer dazzling, but becomes extremely soft.
Another day is coming to an end......
Li Xiao sat on the roof, his eyes scanning the courtyard of the central island, with a sense of relief on his face.
As far as the eye can see, the layout of this newly built courtyard is also substantial.
Fields, pens, training grounds......
The area of the enclosure is several times larger than that of the courtyard of the small plain, and it is no longer a fenced enclosure.
Li Xiao understands that when he comes to this central island, he has to tame a lot of working dinosaurs.
For convenience, he simply built the entire dinosaur enclosure into a long strip and built a row next to the wall.
The strip is then divided into compartments, each of which houses a dinosaur.
Count carefully, there are really a lot of dinosaurs that can help Li Xiao work and are useful to Li Xiao.
Putting aside those creatures that were huge in size and dangerous, and Li Xiao couldn't tame them now.
Aside from what is not available on the central island, there are still many creatures that Li Xiao can tame now or in the near future:
Ankylosaurus, an expert at collecting iron ore, is a must-have pet.
Stegosaurus, with an excellent ability to gather fruit and thatch.
Giant beaver, distributed in the rivers in the northern part of the central island, is a must-collect for wood.
Dire bears, with good combat effectiveness, can help themselves go down to the mine to touch the artifact.
The Argentine Giant Eagle, an excellent flying pet, also has a very high weight capacity.
On top of that, the giant eagle can grab small and medium-sized creatures with its talons and carry it around, making it a great transport-type pet.
This ability to transport creatures can greatly increase one's work efficiency.
For example, the Eagle can grab a slow-moving Ankylosaurus and go farther away to collect metal ore......
The giant eagle can also help Li Xiao quickly tame other creatures-
As long as he digs a big pit in the ground, Li Xiao can ask the giant eagle to grab the creature to be tamed and throw it into the pit, so that he can stand on the edge of the pit and shoot anesthetized arrows at the creatures in the pit.
Not only can you prevent creatures from escaping, but you are also safe, killing two birds with one stone!
In addition to these, you also need to domesticate some other creatures in order to make them lay eggs, which can be used to make feed.
But that's all for later......
……
On the peak of the central island, a giant eagle with red feathers hovers in the sky.
It has been hungry for a long time and is in dire need of a good meal.
Its eyes are sharp, its eyesight is excellent, and it can easily scan the entire center island when flying in mid-air.
Unfortunately, the huge redwoods around it were too much of a sight to obstacle, and it found nothing to hunt and kill.
Helplessly, it could only fly farther away......
In the distance, it found a courtyard below, with several velociraptors and a pterodactyl in the yard.
There was also a stone building in the courtyard, and on top of it sat a small creature that it had never seen before.
Food!
The Argentine eagle knew that the velociraptor was too agile and that the pterosaur was faster than it, and that it was not a good predator, only the strange creatures on the building......
The giant Argentine eagle's eyes flashed with a desire for food, and it flew towards the creature......
"Hey, hey, Giant Eagle......"
Li Xiao held his chin in one hand, his eyes looked ahead, but his thoughts were still immersed in the fantasy of the future.
A dark shadow from the sky came into his sight, and he looked up blankly, and saw a terrifying scene:
A giant eagle is flying towards its yard!
It is said that Cao Cao arrived, and Cao Cao arrived!
He hurriedly stood up, and shouted towards the courtyard below:
"All dinosaurs, go back to your enclosure right now!!"
Fortunately, Li Xiao had divided the dinosaurs into their respective residences just now, and after this voice, the dinosaurs who were absolutely obedient to Li Xiao's orders did not hesitate, and they all turned around and got into the circle that Li Xiao had just built for them.
Seeing that the dinosaurs had entered the enclosure with stone roofs, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but he looked at the giant eagle in the sky, and his brows were still unsettled.
Although this giant eagle is an excellent domesticated creature, it will have to wait until you have the strength to tame it.
And now, this giant eagle is a very dangerous creature for Li Xiao and the others! Once a velociraptor or pterosaur is caught by it, I am afraid that it will become its excrement in a few days!
Fortunately, he had already built the enclosure and built it with a sturdy stone building, and the giant eagle was afraid that he would return empty-handed.
"Wait! Why is this giant eagle flying towards me? ”
Li Xiao found the point.
"Oh my god!" In the next second, Li Xiao turned around and fled.
But he forgot, he was on the roof, where to flee?
Seeing this, the giant eagle flew in front of it, and its two sharp claws were also aimed at Li Xiao and grabbed it!
At the critical moment, Li Xiao rolled to the side, avoiding the claws of the giant eagle.
"Sting!"
The eagle's sharp and powerful claws gripped the roof, and sparks splashed where it came into contact with the stone roof! There are a few paw prints on this stone roof!
With a missed blow, the giant eagle immediately turned around and came towards Li Xiao again!
Li Xiao's side, after rolling and standing still, he immediately took out the crossbow, and it was an arrow according to the giant eagle!
Then, Li Xiao threw away the crossbow and didn't look back, but ran to a window on the roof - where he came up.
For this huge giant eagle, the crossbow would not be lethal at all if it did not hit it in the eye.
This arrow pierced the giant eagle, and was blocked by its thick feathers layer by layer, draining its strength, and could only barely pierce its flesh.
The giant eagle let out a low cry of pain, and grabbed Li Xiao at an unabated speed!
The claws are getting closer and closer to Li Xiao's back! When he was about to catch him, Li Xiao dodged again - he jumped into the skylight of the roof.
The eagle's talon gripped the roof again.
It was so angry that it scratched the skylight with its two paws like crazy, but to no avail.
Compared to its size, this window frame is so small!
Li Xiao in the house rubbed his sore buttocks, his face full of joy that he had escaped.
Li Xiao and his domesticated creatures were hiding in the stone building, and the giant eagle couldn't do anything about them, so after splashing for a while, it flapped its wings and left......
The danger had been lifted, Li Xiao walked out of the house, looking at the back of the giant eagle flying away, his brows furrowed.
"How did this thing get here? Isn't it active in the mountains? ”
Although there is a stone house to shelter and it is safe and worry-free, there is still a problem plaguing Li Xiao.
"Although my yard is protected by horse rejection and can defend against dangerous creatures on the ground, the problem is that my yard can't defend against threats from the sky!
This yard can't resist the attack of the giant eagle, it can come and go when it wants, it can get away with it this time, but what about next time? ”
Something must be done to cure it!
But what to do?
Surfing the Internet in the yard? No, with the size of that giant eagle, how much more solid nets do you need? It's so unrealistic.
Traps? Nor realistic.
Li Xiao thought about it for a while, but there was no good way.
For other small-sized creatures, this is not a difficult task, but the problem is that this giant eagle is too big, and its strength is not small, which makes it very difficult for Li Xiao.
Come to think of it, there's only one weapon that can deal with it - the ballista!
If I'm not mistaken, a few more levels up will unlock the ballista, which is the kind of giant bed crossbow that is fixed to the ground and can be aimed in any direction at will!
The power of the ballista...... Hum...... If the giant eagle dares to come again, Li Xiao will dare to let it not go!
Now the problem Li Xiao is facing is how to upgrade quickly!
As you level up, you need more experience to level up, and the speed will get slower and slower.
Calculating the experience points, even if he keeps killing creatures and leveling up in the next few days, it will take a week for Li Xiao to upgrade to unlock the ballista.
This week, Li Xiao can only pin his hopes on luck, hoping that no other Argentine eagles will harass him again......
……
"! &%*$#! ”
Looking at the figure flying down from the sky, Li Xiao was so angry that he scolded the street.
Look at the appearance of the black shadow, it is still the red-haired giant eagle, it is here again!
Li Xiao skillfully instructed the dinosaurs to return to the enclosure, and he immediately turned around and ran into the house.
For three days in a row, this giant eagle continued to harass Li Xiao, and even came two or three times a day.
The reason, partly because the giant eagle wanted to come here to hunt, but more reason, Li Xiao guessed that it was his arrow that day that angered it and made it unforgiving.
Li Xiao now regrets it extremely much, regretting why he shot it with an arrow in the first place.
If you can't kill it, it will make a fuss about yourself......
Every time the giant eagle came, although it couldn't hurt itself and the dinosaurs, it kept destroying the facilities in the yard.
Especially the crops planted by Li Xiao have already been completely destroyed.
Li Xiao tried to put some raw meat with anesthesia in the yard and tried to numb the giant eagle, but unfortunately failed.
After eating dozens of pieces of raw meat with anesthetics, the giant eagle burped, waved its wings, and flew straight away......
Li Xiao lost his wife and broke his soldiers!
With its anesthetic, even a hundred or so anesthetics can only make it fly crookedly......
"Can't be provoked, can't I still hide?"
Li Xiao packed his bags, led a group of dinosaurs, and prepared to leave the courtyard temporarily.
He was going to go to the swamp area in the south of the center island to farm for a few days, upgrade to unlock the ballista and come back.
And it's time for him to pick up the alarm clock and the other dinosaurs on the plains.
Riding a velociraptor , Li Xiao arrived at the swamp area in a short time.
Jumping off the dragon, Li Xiao placed a bonfire on the edge of the swamp, and built a thatched hut behind the bonfire, which was surrounded by horses.
He's going to be here for a few days, and safety is absolutely guaranteed.
After doing this, Li Xiao took out the legendary bow and arrow and stood on the edge of the swamp.
"New hatred and old hatred, let's clear it up this time!
Don't blame me for asking for your life so quickly, if you want to blame me, there's a plague god in my house! ”
Li Xiao looked at the creatures in the swamp, as if he was looking at a group of dead creatures in his eyes, "Help me bring a message to my dead velociraptor Xiaoxun, just say I miss it." ”
With that, Li Xiao drew his bow and aimed at a creature......
