The red-haired giant eagle that was constantly destroying the yard had been subdued by Li Xiao, and it was protected by a big killer such as a ballista turret, and the courtyard on the central island was completely safe now.

It's time for Li Xiao to develop this yard well.

First and foremost, of course, is the planting industry!

With the unlocking of medium-sized farmland, Li Xiao can start growing vegetables.

The field where some berries were planted had been destroyed by the red-haired giant eagle, so Li Xiao simply demolished it all and started building on it again.

Water is a must.

To grow vegetables successfully, a good irrigation system is a must.

On every piece of cultivated land, Li Xiao has installed stone water pipes and faucets to ensure that every field can have a good water supply.

As for the source of water supply, Li Xiao was a little difficult.

There are two water supply methods for Li Xiao to choose from:

One is to build a cistern that uses rainwater to provide water supply for the entire yard.

But there is a risk that if it doesn't rain for a long time, the yard will lose its water supply, and the plants without water will slowly wither and die.

The second way is that there is no such risk.

That is to connect the water pipes directly to the river and let the river provide a constant supply of water.

But this method also has the downside, that is, it is too much work!

The yard is some distance from the river, and it needs a lot of water pipes to connect.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xiao decided to connect the water pipe directly to the river.

"Anyway, there are startails that collect stones, and how many materials are needed to make water pipes!" Li Xiao thought.

But the problem is again, this water pipe can't be laid directly on the ground!

Any dinosaur that passes by will destroy the water pipes.

Hang high? It's also unrealistic, and it seems that it can only be buried in the ground.

Li Xiao looked at the river in the distance, his face full of helplessness.

"Looks like we're going to be busy for the next few days!"

……

A good planting is not only about good irrigation, but also about fertilizer.

However, Li Xiao has a lot of domesticated animals, and there are also a lot of baba made every day.

Li Xiao collected them and put them all into the fertilizer box. A few days while the irrigation system was being built, the poop fermented and became usable fertilizer.

Spreading fertilizer on the cultivated land and moistening the soil with a tap, Li Xiao planted a few vegetable seeds.

Potatoes, corn, carrots, lemons......

After coming to Ark Island for such a long time, Li Xiao had collected all the plant seeds that could be planted.

Unlike easy-to-grow berries, these crops have a longer growth period, are more difficult to grow, and require great care.

However, the harvest of these crops is also far from being comparable to that of berries......

Planting the last few seeds in the soil, Li Xiao stood up and stretched out the discomfort caused by bending over for a long time.

"I haven't unlocked the greenhouse blueprint yet, but if I have a greenhouse, it's perfect!"

As far as the eye can see, in front of this extensive cultivated land:

Rows of medium-sized cultivated land were neatly arranged, and Li Xiao planted vegetables in them.

Next to it is a row of small farmlands with berries.

Although there are vegetables that can be harvested in large quantities, this berry still has a lot of use, and it still needs to be grown.

……

The cultivation of vegetables is not only a food source for Li Xiao and several herbivorous dinosaurs, but more importantly, vegetables can be used as feed.

As mentioned earlier, feed can greatly improve the taming speed of dinosaurs.

Although before taming, the dinosaurs to be tamed first "psychological taming" have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, but after all, it is only useful for some weak creatures.

Not to mention those huge creatures, even when taming the star-tailed beast, this method will not have much effect - the star-tailed beast has rough skin and thick flesh, and Li Xiao's attack hitting it is just like tickling.

Making feed to tame dinosaurs is a must!

The main raw material of feed is the eggs of various dinosaurs, and different dinosaur feeds require different dinosaur eggs to be made.

Therefore, Li Xiao has to diversify its taming types as much as possible.

And the diversified types of taming must run all over Ark Island......

Among the ingredients used to make the feed, there is usually a very special one - cooked jerky/high-quality cooked jerky.

The so-called cooked jerky is made by placing the grilled cooked meat in an air-drying box and drying the meat with the help of ignition powder and oil.

The air-drying box has been unlocked, and it is easy to make the starter powder, and now there is only one ingredient missing to make cooked jerky - oil!

This oil is not cooking oil, but crude oil collected from oil rocks and can be used to refine gasoline!

The largest distribution of crude oil resources is on the seabed, followed by the snow fields in the northwest.

Li Xiao currently wants to obtain crude oil, and the Northwest Ice Sheet doesn't have to think about it, and with his current equipment level, he can't get there at all.

He had to go to the ocean to collect crude oil.

And the ocean is not a safe place......

"It's hard, it's really hard!"

Thinking of the need to make so many preparations and collect such complex materials to tame a dinosaur, Li Xiao has two big heads.

The reason why Li Xiao is so worried is very simple - his level is too low!

The level of this thing is real, in addition to killing creatures to brush experience, the rest can only be improved little by little by the accumulation of time.

Although Li Xiao had brushed up his experience in the swamp area several times, and the speed of level increase had been very fast, he still couldn't keep up with the speed of Li Xiao's development.

This is also a disadvantage of his play as an ark master......

According to the level of normal players, this time period should still be in the level of more than a dozen novices, and they are still fighting wits and courage with the Twin Ridge Dragons in the safe area in the south.

But Li Xiao is different, he has a lot of experience in Ark games, and he moved the shelter to the center island early.

But under normal circumstances, this place requires at least more than forty or nearly fifty levels to explore!

Li Xiao's high experience in playing made him suffer from the hardships that he shouldn't have at his level......

"Alas-" sighed, Li Xiao was also helpless.

Yesterday, I was still happy that I had subdued the giant eagle at a low level, but today I encountered the trouble caused by the low level.

"Take your time......"

……

The easiest and most brutal way to tame a creature is to run after it or let it run after it, and stun it with a tranquilizer arrow.

But this efficiency is really not high, and there are too many accidents.

If you chase a creature into the territory of other dangerous creatures, or if a dangerous creature wanders around.

Li Xiao steals chickens and rice, and he may have become a snack for dangerous creatures......

Coupled with the interference of terrain and vegetation, the tranquilizer arrow may not be able to hit.

This simple tame method is the best way to go.

Moreover, as a highly intelligent human being who has experienced modern society, this is no different from a primitive person.

Brains, brains!

The best way to tame a mob is to trap it in one place.

Dig a trap pit? Trick creatures inside? It works.

But there are also drawbacks, such as too much work, or dinosaurs simply not being fooled?

After all, this is the real Ark world, and the dinosaurs are also living individuals, not stupid data, and will not jump into the trap laid for them.

And in the Ark game, there's a really good way to do that – build a trapped dragon house!

To put it bluntly, this trapped dragon house is a stone house with four walls and no roof.

On the top of the wall on one side of the trapped dragon house, two slopes are used to connect to the ground so that creatures can jump into the house from this slope.

What Li Xiao had to do was to attract the hatred of the creature, and then lead it to jump into the trapped dragon room.

On the wall of one side of the trapped dragon room, there was a door frame for Li Xiao to enter and exit, and Li Xiao, who led the creature to jump in, could come out of this door frame and leave the larger creature alone in the room.

Then, he can stand on the slope again and shoot tranquilizer arrows at the creature that has nowhere to hide inside!

Making the Ballista Turret used up the metal ore that Li Xiao had collected last time, and he now urgently needed to tame an ankylosaurus to help him mine it.

Just right, use this trapped dragon room to try to tame an ankylosaurus!

Li Xiao was in a vacant lot outside the courtyard, and it didn't take long to build a trapped dragon house.

Then, riding a velociraptor and looking for an ankylosaur around......

The ankylosaurus is a creature that is distributed at the foot of the central peak, and the last time Li went to collect iron ore, he saw a few.

After walking a short distance towards the central peak, Li Xiao saw two ankylosaurs grazing leisurely in the distance.

If you look closely, the creature is almost five meters tall with its tail!

All over its body, it was covered with rows of sharp bone spurs, and even its head had a lot of sharp spines, looking like a turtle wearing anti-wound armor.

Importantly, its tail ends, like those of the Startails, have a large bone hammer.

Unlike the Startailed Beast's tail hammer, it is larger and has two pointed shuttle shapes.

Coupled with some small bone spurs, the whole tail looks extremely hideous on the outside! The danger is extreme!

"Two?" Li Xiao touched his chin and thought.

"The two trapped dragons can't be put down at all, it seems that we need to find a way to lure one away!"

He asked the velociraptor to step forward and bite down on an ankylosaur......

The inexplicable attack angered the ankylosaurus, and I saw it let out a long groan, and the ankylosaurus next to it also turned around, and then, the two ankylosaurs chased the velociraptor together.

The velociraptor turned around and fled towards Li Xiao, passing by Li Xiao.

The two ankylosaurs also caught up, and their heavy weight shook the ground as they ran.

When the two ankylosaurs passed by Li Xiao, a metal spear stabbed into one of the ankylosaurus from Li Xiao's hand......

This spear stabbed extremely tricky, staggering the thick bone armor on the ankylosaurus's body and stabbing it under its weak armpits.

The injury is not serious, but it is extremely painful!

The next moment, this ankylosaurus turned around and focused its hatred on Li Xiao!

Li Xiaosa ran in the opposite direction of the velociraptor group.

Two ankylosaurs, one chasing a velociraptor and one chasing Li Xiao, successfully separated.

On the velociraptor side, after running to the figure of Li Xiao that could no longer be seen, the velociraptor accelerated, leaving the slow ankylosaurus far behind and out of its field of vision......

Then the velociraptor rushed in the direction where Li Xiao had fled.

Li Xiao's side, leading the angry ankylosaurus, ran towards the courtyard.

This ankylosaurus had a heavy body and a slow running speed, and Li Xiao had to turn his head from time to time to check its distance from himself, in case one accidentally ran out of its hatred range.

Seeing that the distance was too far, he had to deliberately slow down and wait for it.
