Chapter 55: Encountering the Spotted Dragon
Stepping into this large clearing, you will be greeted by an extremely large amount of metal ore and obsidian.
It is a rich underground vein.
If conditions permit, Li Xiao can build a mine here, and build a furnace here to smelt metal ingots according to local conditions.
But that's for later, so let's focus on touching the artifact for now.
Li Xiao continued to move forward, walking and walking, and he suddenly stopped.
"Shhhh
He put his index finger to his mouth, motioning for the creatures behind him to be quiet.
He seemed to hear something......
The creature behind it stood motionless, no longer making a sound, and the cave became audible with falling pins.
At this moment, Li Xiao completely heard the faint voice just now.
Slanting his head, Li Xiao put his ear power to the best-
"It's a snort! Someone...... No, there are creatures sleeping! ”
Li Xiao frowned, his eyes shrank, revealing a solemn expression.
Of the few creatures that live in the caves, there is only one that likes to sleep - the spotted dragon!
The habit of this creature is to sleep during the day and move at night, which is just reversed from Li Xiao's schedule.
Moreover, the creature is also an extremely aggressive carnivore, and he must be careful to deal with it.
Quietly, Li Xiao and the others moved forward softly.
This spotted dragon is not a soft persimmon to be messed with, and once it is woken up, it must be another vicious battle.
Although Li Xiao's combat effectiveness is not weak, it is not a problem to deal with a spotted dragon, but after all, the individual combat power of the spotted dragon is higher than that of a velociraptor and a saber-toothed tiger, and Li Xiao must be a miserable victory if he can win.
It's all here, Li Xiao is better to get less trouble, and getting the artifact is the top priority.
Continuing towards the artifact position, the sleeping snoring of the spotted dragon grew louder and clearer.
Li Xiao had a bad premonition......
Sure enough, turning over a huge piece of metal ore, Li Xiao saw the figure of the spotted dragon-
It curled up on the ground, clumping its body in a circle like a snake.
The two small front paws are huddled in their arms, and the long tail is clumped on the outermost.
A rhythmic snoring sound emanated from its curled head......
On its back, it has a supple hair, one derived from the tail.
The skin on the surface of the body is the same as that of other dinosaurs, but the difference is that its gray skin is covered with black spots the size of palms, which is where its name comes from.
Looking at the way it sleeps, it is very cute, and it is even cuter than a cat sleeping.
Just by looking at this appearance, you can easily sprout thousands of girls.
Li Xiao is not a girl, and he also knows that the spotted dragon is hidden under this cute appearance, a ferocious beast that eats people and does not spit out bones.
What hurt Li Xiaodan the most was that the place where this spotted dragon slept happened to be the only way to the waterhole where the artifact was placed!
Its curled body was lying in the middle of the road!
"What should I do?" Seeing such a situation, Li Xiao had two big heads.
"I can't all come here, but because of this spotted dragon, I'll go home!"
Li Xiao looked at the passage behind the spotted dragon, clenched his fists and slammed his palms.
"Fight!"
Of course, this fight is not to go head-to-head with the spotted dragon, but to risk stepping over the spotted dragon.
The dragon's curled body was only two meters wide, and Li Xiao could step over it with just one easy leap.
Not to mention the velociraptor saber-toothed tiger, any one of them is farther than Li Xiao.
Since it was decided, Li Xiao did not procrastinate, and was the first to step forward.
He walked softly to the dragon before stopping......
At this moment, the huge size of the spotted dragon was less than half a meter in front of Li Xiao's face, and the sound of heavy breathing continued to reach Li Xiao's ears.
Li Xiao's palms were covered with sweat, and this was the first time he had come into close contact with such a dangerous creature.
Of course, being forced into the mountain crevice by the Tyrannosaurus rex doesn't count......
"Don't wake up!" Li Xiao prayed in his heart.
His legs were a little weak, but he knew that it was not a way to stand in front of this spotted dragon all the time, so he gritted his teeth and bent his legs......
Jump!
Li Xiao's figure jumped up and skimmed over the body of the spotted dragon-
Then, land steadily!
"It's broken!"
Li Xiao was very nervous about this jump, and couldn't help but use all his strength, but he didn't expect that his strength was not small, and he jumped a little high.
When he landed, his feet stomped heavily on the ground, shaking up all the layers of dirt on the ground.
The sound is not small!
The dragon's snoring suddenly stopped!
Li Xiao's heartbeat instantly broke through the limit!
His breathing stopped, and he remained motionless in his landing position......
A few seconds later, the dragon's purr was heard again.
Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and his excited heartbeat eased a little.
Looking back, he saw that the dragon was still asleep.
Waving, he motioned for the rest of the domesticators to step forward one by one:
First of all, there is the saber-toothed tiger, which has a thick pad of flesh under its broad paws, and it does not move at all when it jumps and lands.
Not surprisingly, the two saber-toothed tigers easily overtook the sleeping spotted dragon.
Then there were two velociraptors, one in front of the other, and they started running in the distance of the dragon - and then jumped up from a long distance!
The figure of the velociraptor flew by, and when it landed, it landed in front of Li Xiao.
This jump actually crossed four or five meters!
And the sound is extremely small, almost inaudible......
"Well, it seems that I am the best!"
Li Xiao touched his nose and said.
Leading a group of creatures, Li Xiao headed towards the waterhole......
Touching his solid muscular arm, Li Xiao was still thinking about the leap just now.
"Unconsciously, my physical fitness is already so good!"
Li Xiao smiled bitterly, "That's right, without such physical fitness, I don't know how many times I've died a long time ago!" ”
Before he knew it, he had been in the ark for almost half a year.
Looking back, Li Xiao, the white and chubby college student who was playing games in the dormitory, had disappeared into the long river of time......
People are always changing.
It's just that Li Xiao's changes are bigger and faster......
……
After thinking for a while, Li Xiao reached the deepest part of the central cave - the waterhole.
In front of Li Xiao was a small waterhole with an area of no more than forty or fifty square meters.
In the water in the center of the pool, there is a protruding stone, on the bottom half of the stone, a semicircle, and the upper part is an irregular diamond-shaped object that is constantly diffusing energy waves.
Artifact - Wisdom!
Taking off the tattered animal skin clothes on his body, Li Xiao stretched his body a few times and jumped down towards the waterhole!
The temperature in the cave was not high, and the temperature in the waterhole was even lower, Li Xiao shuddered after entering the water, and hurriedly swam towards the artifact.
Grabbing the stone under the artifact, Li Xiao leaned out and put the artifact into the implant.
Then, he immediately swam in the direction he came.
On the shore, Li Xiao first wiped the water off his body, and then kept doing warm-up exercises.
This waterhole was so cold that it only took half a minute before and after, and Li Xiao felt that his limbs had lost blood supply due to low temperature.
I'm afraid that if I stay a little longer, I will freeze to death like the previous time!
That feeling, Li Xiao never wants to go through it again in his life......
When the artifact arrived, Li Xiao didn't stop, he dressed neatly and walked in the direction he came.
With brisk steps, he once again came to the place where the spotted dragon had slept.
But when Li Xiao saw the scene in front of him, his eyes shrank suddenly-
The sleeping spotted dragon is gone!
"Where?!" Li Xiao took out the machete suddenly.
He beckoned the domesticated creatures to surround him, his head constantly looking around.
"The activities of my own group just now didn't alarm the spotted dragon, so it stands to reason that it should still be sleeping here."
"Except, of course, it wakes up on its own after dark......"
"Wait!" Li Xiao suddenly woke up, "What time is it?" ”
Without a clock, Li Xiao could only approximate the present time by relying on the time he had experienced in this underground cave.
"I entered the cave in the morning...... Stimulants poison piranhas...... Killed a few giant scorpions...... Chased by Gumalu...... Killed through another passage......"
Counting the time, it's almost night!
"No wonder I'm so hungry, it's so late...... Phew, is it a matter of worrying about being hungry now? The most important thing to worry about now is where did the spotted dragon go?! ”
Li Xiao suppressed the screaming of his stomach and focused on business.
The spotted dragon does not know where to go, and it may not be when it will suddenly rush out to attack him, so he must be extremely vigilant.
If you're hungry, let's wait until it's safe......
A group of creatures surrounded Li Xiao in the center, advancing step by step.
Seeing six ways and listening to all directions, Li Xiao always pays attention to his surroundings......
Gradually, Li Xiao walked to the exit of this flat land.
It's a pity that there seems to be a force majeure in the dark, so it is impossible for Li Xiao to leave without accidents.
At that exit, a dinosaur two or three meters tall was standing there with its mouth wide open!
Megalosaurus!
And it's a naturally awakened and radiant spotted dragon!
"Made, I know it's not that simple!" After complaining, Li Xiao took out the crossbow.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
While Li Xiao reminded the surrounding domesticators, the spotted dragon standing at the entrance of the cave had already discovered them.
In the next second, it opened its strong legs and rushed towards this direction!
Don't look at the harmlessness of humans and animals when this dragon sleeps, but once it wakes up, it is the most beautiful baby in the cave at the foot of the central volcano...... Bah...... The most ferocious creature!
When it stands up, it is only a low bull dragon, and its big mouth is a more dangerous killing weapon than the bull dragon!
The spotted dragon also has the same unifying characteristic of cave creatures - it has a special ability!
Once the dragon bites its target, it locks it between its jaws!
Except for the large creatures, none of them were able to break free from its bite on their own......
Li Xiao understands this very well, which is also the reason why he is very reluctant to provoke Banlong!
The crossbow in Li Xiao's hand fired arrows and hit the body of the spotted dragon.
The spotted dragon snorted in pain, and those blood-colored eyes stared directly at Li Xiao!
"Uh~ Is it too late for me to apologize?"
was glared at by the spotted dragon's murderous eyes, and Li Xiao's momentum was immediately intimidated.
He stepped back, trying to keep the dragon's attention focused on the saber-toothed tigers and velociraptors in front of him......
It's a pity that Li Xiao's arrow has completely angered the spotted dragon, and its eyes move with Li Xiao, with a look of eating you!
"Made, fight!"
Seeing the expression of the spotted dragon, Li Xiao knew that he couldn't dodge, so he completely gave up the idea of hiding, took out the legendary bow and continued to shoot at the spotted dragon!
The spotted dragon rushed here, and the two saber-toothed tigers were not afraid at all, and also rushed towards the spotted dragon!
Li Xiao shot two more arrows, but unfortunately it didn't do much damage to the rough-skinned and thick-skinned spotted dragon.
As I saw, the spotted dragon collided with the two saber-toothed tigers!
Two saber-toothed tigers flew up and pounced straight at the spotted dragon!
And the speed of the spotted dragon did not decrease in the slightest, and directly knocked the saber-toothed tigers that flew away.
The big meow, which bore the brunt of the blow, was directly knocked into the air and fell to the side.
The second meow grabbed the spotted dragon with its sharp claws, but its size was not small compared to the spotted dragon, and it was directly carried by the spotted dragon and continued to move.
The target of this spotted dragon is still Li Xiao at the back!
"I have so many subordinates, can't I get you alone?"
It was really at the critical juncture, Li Xiao didn't have the slightest hint of what he was doing just now, his expression was serious, and the bow and arrow in his hand were full again.
The two velociraptors also rushed forward, only to see one left and one right, and bit the leg of the spotted dragon!
At this moment, he finally forced the spotted dragon to stop.
It opened its mouth and bit down on a velociraptor next to its leg.
This velociraptor reacted quickly and quickly dodged it!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the big meow that was knocked to the side just now got up, flew and also pounced on the back of the spotted dragon, and bit it together with the second meow......
