Chapter 185: Three Alternatives

The first thing to exclude when building a base in the north is, of course, the ice fields, which are frozen all year round, with a few deadly snowstorms from time to time, and a large number of dangerous creatures roaming, which is not a good place to build a base camp.

Therefore, the location of the construction is the area north of the central island and south of the ice field on the map, which is a long strip on the map.

There are a total of six places enclosed in this area, and Li Xiao struggled for a while and crossed out three places. Then he knocked on the table and pointed to the remaining three places to explain to Zhou Qing:

The remaining three, from left to right, the first is-

Directly west of the central volcano, the westernmost point of the Western Plain is a peninsula near the sea.

The westernmost part of this peninsula is the ice field to the north, overlooking the snow-capped mountains in the northwest.

In the middle of the peninsula stands a hill-like boulder, and the terrain around the boulder is open and the terrain is almost undulating, making it ideal for building a large and large courtyard.

The reason for choosing this place is that it is close to the ice field, it is convenient to collect metals, minerals, oil and rocks, and it is close to the sea, there is a natural harbor, and it is also extremely convenient to develop the ocean.

In terms of basic resources, the peninsula is full of palm trees and there is no shortage of wood; Although there are not many scattered stones, there is that boulder, and the stones are inexhaustible.

This place has a lot of advantages, but there are also many disadvantages, such as a more important condition -

Temperature.

This place is close to the ice field, and you can see the glacier from a distance from the sea, and the temperature can be imagined. It's okay during the day, but if it's night, I'm afraid the temperature difference is very large.

In addition, the place is too open, and even if the courtyard is built against a boulder, the other three sides still need a lot of walls as defense.

Although there is no shortage of stones, the stones will not become city walls for no reason, and they will need to be built by Li Xiao in large quantities.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiao thought of a few more drawbacks.

There is no way, this decision may be related to Li Xiao's future development until he leaves the Ark World, and he has to think carefully.

He asked Zhou Qing to refer to it together, because he was afraid that he would not think it through and regret it.

It's a pity that Li Xiao looked at Zhou Qing and found that the latter was almost about to fall asleep after listening to a lot of his chatter.

"Hey, give me some heart! It's important for us to decide where to base for the next few years or ten years!" Li Xiao knocked on Zhou Qing's head with a black line.

"What? It's time to eat?! What to eat? Stew?"

Zhou Yi, who was in a daze, jumped up like an electric shock and threw out a few traces of crystal saliva.

There were a few more black lines on Li Xiao's head.

"Eat, eat, eat, you know, because those animals are so close to you, and as a result, I stewed them, and you eat more than anyone else!"

"Bang Bang!"

Li Xiao knocked on the table, held his forehead and said helplessly, "What we are discussing now is a very important matter, can we be more serious."

"Whatever!" Zhou Yi shook Li Xiao's arm and said coquettishly, "Anyway, haven't you been making up your mind? We will all listen to you."

The soft and glutinous words made Li Xiao very useful, looking at the lovely person in front of him, he almost couldn't help but hug her into his arms......

Well, back to the point.

The second marker, between the central volcano and Frosttooth Mountain, and not far from the Icetooth Mountain in the north, can be said to be a clearing sandwiched between three large mountains.

This is this place, Li Xiao passed by when he first went to the ice field, and he also built a wooden house outpost here.

There are also advantages and disadvantages to building a base here.

The advantage is that it is extremely close to the mountain peaks, and you can collect resources such as metal ores, obsidian mines, and crystals "out of the door". ν.

The terrain is open and you can build large bases.

Moreover, this is almost the most central location of Ark Island, and the distance from the southeast, northwest and northwest directions of Ark Island is about the same, and the transportation is convenient.

Well, there are a lot of disadvantages, such as there is no river around this place, and it is difficult to get water, so you can only build water storage facilities to collect it

Rainwater.

As with the first site, it was so open that it required a lot of effort and materials to build the fence alone.

Li Xiao looked at the last marker in the upper right corner of the map.

"Sure enough, the big pit hidden in the dense forest is the best place for players!" Li Xiaomo rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

This location, as mentioned above, is a volcanic crater located northeast of Ark Island.

This natural crater is a natural "courtyard" with a flat interior and a high rock wall as a "wall".

Building a base here leaves the trouble of building a wall in the first place.

What's more, there is a small lake in the middle of the crater, and the problem of water source is also solved.

Also, this place seems to have been specially created for the player, with towering rock walls protecting the base and three roads leading from the outside to the inside of the pit.

The coast is not far from the crater, and it is also very convenient to develop the ocean.

Resources, not to mention wood, there is a dense forest around the crater, how many or how many stones.

As for the metal mine, it is even more worrying, next to the volcanic mound is the peak of Frost Tooth Mountain, you must know that another term for Frost Tooth Mountain is called "North Mine"!

Moreover, this place is also extremely close to another ore-rich mountain, Mt. Enmine.

Of course, if he wanted to go to Yuanfeng Mountain to mine, Li Xiao had to ask those griffins if they agreed......

Back to the point, isn't there a downside to building a base in this crater?

The answer, of course, is yes.

This place is in the far north of the Ark map, far from the south of the Ark.

But that doesn't seem to be a problem......

In this comparison, this alternative place to build a base is much better than the first two, and if you go back and look at the first two places, how unpleasant it is.

"No, no, you can't rush." Li Xiao shook his head, "Once you make a move, you can't regret it, you have to think about it carefully."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiao still didn't find a reason why the base was not built in the crater, so he clapped his hands and completely decided to build the base here!

The drowsy Zhou Qing also woke up when she saw this, she didn't say anything, just looked at Li Xiao.

"Move!"

Li Xiao nodded solemnly, and then used the broken charcoal in his hand to paint the area in the upper left corner of the map pure black......

Although it is said that the house is moving, there is one more important thing that needs to be done before moving-

Catch an ancient pterodactyl!

This creature Li Xiao is ready to be used as a combat mount, so it's best to get it as soon as possible.

Li Xiao had also seen the figure of the ancient god pterodactyl on the central island.

However, this creature is alone, and there are only a few of them on the entire central island, so it is difficult to catch them first!
