The speed of the triceratops and the dodos was not fast, and it took Li Xiao and the others a day to return to the central island.

Pushing open the gate of the courtyard, when Li Xiao saw the scene in the courtyard clearly, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Damn! Giant Eagle, I'm%¥#......"

Obviously, after Li Xiao left, the giant eagle came to the yard again, which could be seen from the very damaged yard.

Fortunately, the buildings in the courtyard are all made of stone, and the giant eagle has not yet had the ability to destroy the building.

After arranging the domesticated animals into the new enclosure, Li Xiao immediately began to prepare for the construction of the ballista turret.

After the ballista turret is made, if the giant eagle dares to come, Li Xiao will definitely let it taste the power of the ballista!

But the problem now is that there are really more materials needed to make this ballista......

Basic materials such as wood, fiber, hides, and thatch are not difficult to obtain, but it takes a little more time.

There are two more advanced materials, cement and metal ingots!

As for cement, Li Xiao took out the chitin from the southern cave last time and counted it, which was enough to meet the needs of cement.

And 100 metal ingots - far from it!

To smelt 100 metal ingots, you need 200 metal ores, 200 metal ores, and at least two huge metal ores or a dozen small metal ores!

200 pieces of metal ore, before taming the load-bearing dinosaurs, Li Xiao could only use his inventory to transport, but even if the inventory was emptied, he could not carry so many metal ores at one time.

Looks like we'll have to make an extra trip back and forth!

If Li Xiao wants to collect metal ore, there are only three places to go:

The flat-topped mountain in the southeast, the underground cave in the south, and the central peak of the central island in the south.

Pingdingshan has the lowest degree of danger, basically Li Xiao is basically no danger as long as he does not encounter the Sickle Dragon, but the problem is that the distance is too far, relying on the Velociraptor to walk, Li Xiao has to walk back and forth for three days.

Two back and forth...... Six days!

What a waste of time!

Moreover, the metal reserves in Pingdingshan are too small, and it is okay for Li Xiao to make some metal pickaxes, metal axes, etc., but this uses a ballista with such a large amount of metal......

Go to Pingdingshan this choice to give up!

The underground cave in the south has a lot of metal ore reserves, but it is the same as Pingdingshan, and it is too far away from Li Xiao.

And it is estimated that spiders, bats and other creatures have appeared in it, which is still a little dangerous.

Go to the Southern Caves and give up the same ......

Li Xiao raised his head and looked at the peak of the central island not far away.

It seems that the only way to venture there is to collect ore!

Compared to the first two options, the peak of the central island is very close to here, and the ore reserves are equally abundant.

But the danger is also highest here!

the ferocious saber-toothed tigers and bull dragons roaming at the foot of the mountain;

the mountainside's giant carnivorous dinosaur Allosaurus;

The common Argentine eagle on the top of the mountain!

However, although this central mountain peak is dangerous, there is less vegetation on the mountain, the field of vision is wide, and Li Xiao has velociraptors to protect him, as long as he avoids these dangerous creatures from afar, it is not dangerous.

With a wide field of vision, any creature can be spotted from afar, which is why he dares to go up the mountain to mine.

In order to improve the distance he can observe, Li Xiao deliberately made a telescope out-

The slender wooden tube is hollow and inlaid with two crystal lenses polished to a translucent finish.

The thick and thin wooden tubes are sleeved together, and can also be lengthened or shortened to adjust the focal length.

Although the structure of this simple monocular telescope is simple, its performance is comparable to that of expensive precision telescopes!

This provides greater safety for Li Xiao to go up the mountain to mine.

Without further ado, Li Xiao led the triceratops that could carry the weight for him and went straight to the central peak......

The central peak is in the shape of a sheet as a whole, with a gentle slope from east to west and steep cliffs from north to south.

Li Xiao's yard was on the east side of the mountain, and he didn't have to make a detour, so he was going to climb the mountain directly from the east slope.

Not long after the journey, Li Xiao and the others reached the foot of the central peak.

Taking out his binoculars, Lee examined the dangerous creatures on the eastern slope.

There were no dangerous creatures at the foot of the mountain, only a few ankylosaurs covered in bone spurs grazing leisurely.

Although the ankylosaurus collects iron ore with half the effort, it is better to tame it next time, this time Li Xiao is in a hurry to make a ballista, so he can only use a metal pickaxe to collect ore.

On the mountainside, he saw three wandering Allosaurus.

The allosaurus was somewhat similar in appearance to the Tyrannosaurus rex, but it was much thinner in size and stature than the Tyrannosaurus rex.

However, this creature is sent out in groups, usually three or four of them hunt together, and they are numerically superior, and the danger is comparable to that of the lone Tyrannosaurus rex.

Li Xiao planned the route, bypassing these Allosaurus far away, and headed towards the top of the mountain.

Compared with the last time Li Xiao climbed the steep rock wall, climbing this mountain peak with a low slope is like walking on the ground for Li Xiao.

The footsteps are brisk, and what you can see is about to reach the top......

Suddenly, a giant eagle flew up from the top of the mountain and roared above Li Xiao's head!

Li Xiao commanded the triceratops to hurriedly lower his body, for fear of being discovered by the giant eagle.

Fortunately, the giant eagle didn't notice them at all, and flew straight into the distance......

The episode didn't affect Li Xiao's time, seeing that the giant eagle had gone, he led the triceratops to the top of the mountain again.

As he was walking, Li Xiao suddenly stopped and looked suspiciously in the direction where the giant eagle had disappeared just now.

"No, why is the giant eagle so familiar? And the direction in which it goes—"

Li Xiao woke up suddenly and said loudly, "Isn't that the giant eagle that keeps running into my yard?!" No way! This thing that has been cut a thousand times is going to my yard again!! ”

"I%¥&#*$#!" A foul language popped out of his mouth.

After greeting the elders of the giant eagle a few words, Li Xiao turned his anger into motivation and hurried towards the top of the mountain.

He's going to gather enough metal ore to go back and make a ballista and kill this abominable eagle!

……

Climbing over the stone platform in front of him, Li Xiao finally reached the top of the mountain.

What catches your eye is full of scattered metal ores and crystals!

There were no giant eagles around Li Xiao, only a few flying figures were seen in the sky on the other side of the mountain, but they were too far away from Li Xiao to pose a threat.

There are no giant eagles, but there are a lot of eagles, and at a glance, Li Xiao found more than four or five huge giant eagle holes made of branches and weeds......

However, there were no young eagles in the eagle's nest.

Standing on the top of this hill and looking around, the entire central island is obscured by the lush green foliage of the tops of the redwood trees.

Looking to the north, across the bank is the tall volcanic peak!

Vaguely, Li Xiao also saw the figure of the northwest monument at the end of his sight......

The sky is clear, only a few clouds on the horizon set off the scenery on this Ark Island even more beautiful!

But Li Xiao didn't come to see the scenery!

Sure that there was no danger around, he hurriedly pounced in front of an ore that reflected the metallic light, took out a metal pickaxe and struck it.

The knocked-out metal ore is immediately stuffed into the inventory.

The tinkling sound continued, and Li Xiao stuffed the inventory to the brim in a short time, knocked down the metal ore again, and Li Xiao turned around and stuffed it into the saddle package of the triceratops......

An hour later.

There were no huge redwoods on the top of the mountain to block the sun, and the scorching sun directly hit Li Xiao.

He was sweating profusely, and his arms were extremely weak, but he didn't dare to stop, after all, this was the nest of giant eagles, and they could come back at any time, and they could do a little bit while it was safe.

When the saddle package of the triceratops was also stuffed, Li Xiao stopped.

After doing the math, the metal ore collected is enough to make a ballista.

Wiping a handful of sweat, Li Xiao also knew that he didn't have time to rest, so it was best to go down the mountain before the giant eagles came back.

Turning around, Li Xiao walked towards the way up.

However, he stopped as soon as he took a step, and looked at an eagle in disbelief at the side.

His heart was beating faster and his hands were shaking!

"That's?! Is that?! Argentine giant eagle egg?! ”

I saw the bottom of the eagle's nest, slanting this smooth white object.

Li Xiao cautiously walked up and saw the details of the egg.

The size of this egg is the size of a table! The height of standing up is as high as Li Xiao's chest!

The egg looks white, but if you touch it, you can see that the shell is full of fine and beautiful patterns.

Such a big egg, I didn't even notice it just now!

Rubbing this giant egg, Li Xiao's face was full of intoxication, and he thought of several ways to eat this egg in his mind.

"Oh, no!"

But immediately, he came up with a better idea – to hatch the egg!

You must know that with your current strength, you don't have the ability to tame an adult giant eagle at all.

As long as you hatch him, you can directly skip taming, and you can have a giant eagle as a pet at such a low level!

Hatching a juvenile eagle...... Hehe, it's exciting to think about!

Discarding a few pieces of metal ore in his backpack and freeing up an item compartment, Li Xiao touched the giant egg and silently recited the word "receive" in his heart.

In the next second, the Dome disappeared into the lair, and the inventory was filled again.

"Hey, hey, hey! Let's go! ”

With a smirk, he led the triceratops dragon and walked down the mountain.

However, he couldn't laugh right away—

As soon as he walked down the mountain, Li Xiao saw three huge Allosaurus wandering halfway up the mountain.

It's the three that I found when I went up the mountain!

When Li Xiao was collecting iron ore on the top of the mountain, these three Allosaurus actually wandered here!

"It's broken!"

Li Xiao hurriedly turned around, preparing to climb to the top of the mountain again, and descend from the other side of the mountain to avoid these three dangerous creatures.

It's a pity that fate is so tricky.

In the next second, the sound of an eagle chirping came from afar, from far to near!

Accompanied by the sound of an eagle, the figure of a giant eagle also appeared.

It's the red-haired eagle! It's back!

The giant eagle's figure swept overhead and flew straight back to the top of the mountain.

Li Xiao's footsteps stopped again, and his face was as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"Damn, if you don't come back sooner or later, you'll come back at this time!"

His steps were hesitant, sometimes facing the way down the mountain, and then towards the top......

"There are dangerous birds up the mountain, and wild beasts down the mountain! How can this be?! You can't just stay here! ”

Just as he hesitated, a terrible eagle chirp came from the top of the mountain, and Li Xiao's thoughts suddenly became much clearer.

Don't worry about it anymore!

With a resolute face, he walked down the mountain with the steps of death......
