Chapter 61: A Fulfilling Day (1)
As the sky got dark, Li Xiao thought about his future plans for a while, and then got up and started his evening work - feeding the dragon.
With so many domesticated creatures, Li Xiao needs to take care of them every day......
This feeding is the most important thing to take care of them!
One meal earlier, one meal later, except for the time when Li Xiao was resurrected after several accidental deaths, the rest of the time has never been interrupted.
Even if he went out on a long trip, Li Xiao would prepare enough food for the creatures.
However, as there are more and more domesticated animals, Li Xiao's daily feeding workload is also increasing.
"It's good to be able to put all the food directly into the trough like in the game......" Li Xiao couldn't help but envy the convenience of the game world.
But this is not a game, but reality, if there is too much food in the trough, whether it is a herbivorous dinosaur or a carnivorous dinosaur, they will keep eating until they hold on.
There is no concept of fullness at all......
It's normal to think about it, on this dangerous Ark Island, any creature is in danger of dying at any time.
In the law of the jungle, competition is the only way to survive -
Homogeneous competition between herbivores, competition between carnivores, competition between species of herbivores and carnivores......
Competition between small animals, competition between large animals, competition between small animals and large animals......
With such fierce competition, having plenty of food is a very tough thing!
Most of the herbivores on Ark Island are hungry every day from hiding from predators......
Most of the carnivores on Ark Island will also go hungry because they can't catch their prey for a long time......
A creature that can't eat enough all year round was suddenly tamed by Li Xiao one day and ushered in a better life.
However, the sense of urgency hidden in its bones will not be let go for a while, and when they see abundant food, they will always instinctively stop eating.
Because when they're in the wild, they don't know when their next full meal will be!
Maybe tomorrow, maybe a long time later, maybe this is their last meal......
So Li Xiao still has to feed them regularly and quantitatively every meal.
First, he went to the field and picked a lot of ripe vegetables and berries and put them all in his inventory.
"It's time to eat!" Li Xiao beckoned to a group of creatures.
He then walked to the herbivores' pens and fed them the vegetables and berries he had collected.
Paractenosaurus, Triceratops, Cockosaurus, Startail, Ankylosaurus, and Dodos......
As he was feeding, Li Xiao suddenly felt that the surroundings had darkened a little, and when he looked down, he saw a huge black shadow reflected on the ground.
Li Xiao raised his head violently again, and it was the huge head of the Diplodocus that caught his eyes.
It turned out to be a diplodocus outside the yard sticking its head into the yard.
It obviously saw Li Xiao feeding other dinosaurs, so it also wanted a piece of the pie.
Li Xiao slapped it on the door of its brain.
"You ate so much when I tamed you just now, and now you want to?! Don't give! β
As soon as the words fell, Liang Long lowered his head and arched Li Xiao with his forehead.
"It's useless to be coquettish!" Li Xiao was unmoved, and fed the last pile of vegetables in his hand to the ankylosaurus......
"The ankylosaurus has made a great contribution today, and it has to be rewarded!" Li Xiao looked at the ankylosaurus with doting eyes.
But when he looked back at Liang Long, his face changed instantly, and his tone was like a stern parent teaching a naughty child:
"Not like you white-eyed wolf! Hey, you saved you, and you attacked me in turn, and I ......."
Li Xiao was about to count the diplodocus fiercely, but when he saw the diplodocus's neck shrink, its huge head disappeared from Li Xiao's sight.
Li Xiao: "......"
β¦β¦
Next to feed are a group of carnivorous dragons.
Li Xiao has collected a lot of raw meat in the past few days, which can be squandered by carnivorous creatures for a while.
He first went to the enclosure of the two saber-toothed tigersβ
Looking closely, the trauma on Big Meow's buttocks has improved somewhat, and the wound has scabbed.
However, the most serious injuries of the two saber-toothed tigers were in the legs, and both hurt the bones.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones...... These two saber-toothed tigers, I'm afraid they won't get better for a while.
However, the relationship between the two tigers has deepened a lot again, and they are snuggling and napping in the enclosure at the moment.
Li Xiao got into the enclosure, touched the heads of the two tigers, and began to change their dressings.
It is necessary to clean the wound once every two days, and it can be troublesome in case of infection.
Li Xiao didn't want these two saber-toothed tigers to be a disabled couple from now on......
"It's time to eat!"
After treating the wounds, Li Xiao put the raw meat in the inventory in front of them again.
Watching these two "big cats" eating, Li Xiao was full of smiles.
"Get all right! I'm still waiting for you two to protect me......"
After feeding the saber-toothed tiger, the next thing to feed is the velociraptor
The three velociraptors were in the same enclosure, and two of them were at odds, but there was never a fight.
The other velociraptor always regulates their relationship very well......
In today's two battles, the three velociraptors did not play a big role, and these three velociraptors could no longer keep up with the strength of the enemy they wanted.
If they encounter more dangerous creatures in the future, the combat power of these three velociraptors can only be cannon fodder.
However, these velociraptors have been following Li Xiao for a long time, and Li Xiao must be reluctant to let them die.
If he is released, he is still reluctant.
But it's not a way to keep them in a pen like this, and you can't let them out!
Li Xiao frowned, thinking about what to do with the three velociraptors.
Reason told him it was time to bring these velociraptors back to nature......
But Li Xiao ...... Alas......
"Huh?!"
Li Xiao suddenly woke up and thought of an excellent way to deal with it.
"Wouldn't it be good to combine these velociraptors into a mobile force that moves quickly?"
The biggest feature of the velociraptor is its speed, although it is not as fast as the chicken dragon, but the velociraptor is a carnivore after all, and it has a lot of combat power......
Hunting, blocking roads, besieging ...... These three velociraptors are definitely the best creatures to use!
"Why didn't you think of letting them hunt for themselves?"
Li Xiao slapped his forehead violently.
"There is always a time when I finish eating all this raw meat in my inventory, and then I go out to hunt every day, which is a waste of time......"
Yourself, why not leave this task to the velociraptors?
"Can't be released! Resolutely can't put it! I'm counting on them to take the pressure off my shoulders! β
Li Xiao, who was frowning, immediately smiled when he thought of this.
"Come on. Eat more! β
β¦β¦
Except for the saber-toothed tiger and velociraptor rex, Li Xiao did not tame other carnivores.
But the red-haired giant eagle and the "little white give" also need to be fed by him, which cannot be forgotten.
Finally, Li Xiao walked towards the hatching room......
As soon as he entered the door, the young eagle Xiaobai threw himself into Li Xiao's arms, chattering non-stop.
"Hungry, aren't you?"
Li Xiao held the eaglet in one hand and fed the raw meat cut into small strips in the inventory to the eaglet with the other.
Looking at its gobbling up, Li Xiao was full of smiles.
Although this eaglet has not been tamed by the system, looking at the way this eaglet relies on itself, I am afraid that there is no need for the forced taming of the system at all.
As for the adult red-haired giant eagle that has never been tamed -
At this moment, it was humming at Li Xiao, as if complaining that he had been feeding him for so long......
Li Xiao held the young eagle in one hand, and handed the wooden basin full of raw meat to the red-haired giant eagle with the other.
After seeing the look of "this is right" in the eyes of the giant eagle, he lowered his head and concentrated on destroying the food.
"Just this foodie, how can I have the illusion that I can be tamed easily?"
Li Xiao saw the giant eagle's expression, and smiled helplessly.
Anyway, the giant eagle's injuries are almost healed, and it is afraid that it is also bored in this hut.
If you don't let it out again, it's suffocating so much, and it's probably going to have to make some moths!
"Feed it some anesthetics tomorrow and stun it again, it's best if it can be tamed, if it can't......"
Li Xiao gritted his teeth fiercely, his fists clenched to death, and his eyes were full of murderous aura.
It's a pity that in the next second, this momentum slackened like a punctured balloon......
"If it can't be tamed, then I have no choice but to let it out!
I hope it doesn't leave me for the sake of me feeding it for so long......"
β¦β¦
Feeding the domesticants one by one, Li Xiao's stomach growled.
"Alas, I will always be the last to eat."
Seeing that it was not very late, and he had successfully tamed the diplodocus today, Li Xiao was ready to treat himself.
How to be treated? There's no better way to do that than with a big meal!
It just so happened that Li Xiaoxin figured out a cooking method.
I saw that he first built a bonfire in a clearing in the courtyard, and two large stones were placed next to the bonfire.
Then, Li Xiao took out a square stone slab from the house.
He placed the slab on the campfire, supported by the two stones.
The flames baked the slate, and soon the slate began to heat up......
After waiting for a while, Li Xiao sprinkled a few drops of water on the stone slab.
The blazing heat of the slate instantly evaporated the few drops of water and turned them into water vapor that drifted away.
A satisfied smile appeared on Li Xiao's face.
He took out a piece of raw meat from his inventory and cut off the fat from the raw meat.
Cut the fat into small pieces and place them on a hot slate......
With a thud, the fat shriveled, and the fat seeped out and gathered in the center of the slate.
After getting the shriveled fat scraps aside, a yolk and egg white were stirred until even, and the dodo egg was beaten on top.
In the blink of an eye, the bottom of the egg mixture is cooked.
Li Xiao had an extra wooden shovel in his hand, and he used this shovel to turn up the cooked part, so that the uncooked egg liquid touched the stone slab......
The egg fragrance was fragrant, and Li Xiao added some seasoning salt.
Stir-fry a few more times, and a fried dodo egg is ready!
Putting the scrambled eggs on a wooden plate, Li Xiao took out some fat again and repeated the steps just now.
More than one dish!
Different from scrambled eggs, this time Li Xiao put in some shredded potatoes in the oil.
During the stir-frying, the shredded potatoes gradually changed color and softened, and Li Xiao added a little salt.
Picking up one and tasting it, Li Xiao put some more salt.
Try it again this time...... Well...... It's okay, a portion of fried shredded potatoes is out of the pan!
took out a wooden plate again, put the wooden plate aside again, and Li Xiao took out some fatty meat.
There is also a dish!
This time, he first put some lean strips of meat in the oil and then added some cleaned mushrooms.
After stir-frying, a plate of mushroom stir-fried meat comes out of the pot again!
Li Xiao finally stopped what he was doing and looked at the three dishes that had just been fried.
I saw that he carefully pulled out two slender wooden sticks from his sleeve - it was his homemade chopsticks.
Stretching out his chopsticks, Li Xiao's hand kept trembling.
Trembling and holding a mouthful of food into his mouth with chopsticks, Li Xiao raised his head and slowly closed his eyes.
Finally, after more than half a year, Li Xiao finally found a sense of home!
A tear glistened in the corner of his eye......
"That's right. I almost forgot! Li Xiao wiped the splash from the corner of his eyes and came back to his senses.
He suddenly thought of something and hurried back into the house.
When he came out, he had two more steaming corns in his hands.
Without steamed rice, he had to use corn instead......
