After two days of trekking, Li Xiao and his entourage finally came to the northeast of the map, the extinct crater peninsula.

After walking along the canyon in the dense forest for a while, the line of sight in front of them suddenly widened, and they had reached the basin valley.

Coming here, Li Xiao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, during the two-day trek, I didn't encounter any major problems along the way, and I didn't encounter any dangerous creatures of large size.

However, now is not the time to completely relax, Li Xiao and Zhou Qing instructed the domesticators to unload the items they carried, clear out a clearing, and set up the workbench.

Although the valley is surrounded by cliffs that act as "walls", dangerous creatures from outside the valley can still enter through the three canyons.

Li Xiao and Zhou Qing did not stop, they wanted to install the three canyons leading to the outside world as soon as possible.

Li Xiao rode a mammoth to clear the trees and shrubs in the canyon, and Zhou Qing placed the huge stone dinosaur door frame in the right place.

The three canyon exits in the basin valley are distributed in three directions –

The south leads to the Frost Tooth Mountain, which is also known as the North Mine, which is the best place to dig metal mines;

The north leads to the ocean, and in the future, Li Xiao can build a dock by the sea to develop the marine industry;

Finally, there is a northwest direction leading to the northwest ice field, not to mention, many indispensable rare resources on Ark Island are distributed on the ice field, and high-combat creatures such as Tyrannosaurus rex in the future also happen to enter and exit from here.

Three stone giant beast dinosaur door frames are placed at the junction of the canyon and the basin valley, and then the gaps on both sides are filled with stone walls, and then the gate is more than ten meters high.

In this way, the entire basin valley was completely cut off from the outside world and became a huge "courtyard".

Standing on the back of the mammoth, Li Xiao glanced in front of him, and suddenly became heroic-

This place will be his!

Hahaha!

Ahem, ahem, calm and calm.

Although the crater is no longer cluttered after some repairs, it is still bare, and it is still too early to call it a 'base camp'.

At present, the main work is, of course, mainly construction.

For this reason, Li Mu deliberately rode a pterosaur to the top of the cliff, standing on a high place, and had a glance at the terrain in the crater.

The flat and wide land on the south side is the most suitable place to build his residence with Zhou Qing and Zhou Yi.

Li Xiao's vision is to build a luxurious castle integrating residences, workshops and warehouses.

The northern part of the castle is a low-lying crater lake, and there is a wide space around the volcano, which is a bit worse than the top, but it is a good enclosure for domesticated animals.

The area of this area is several times larger than the castle, and Li Xiao's current domesticated creatures, even if the big guys such as the Diplodocus Mammoth Alarm Clock are only one of them, and the place is more than enough.

The east side of the volcanic lake was originally a small dense forest, and after Li Xiao cut down the wood here, he vacated a small piece of open space, which was perfect as a cultivated land for growing crops.

"There's an incubation room there......

Build a dodo house there......

Li Xiao sketched on the paper with the terrain of the crater, and not long after, Zhou Yi also flew up on a pterodactyl.

She didn't bother Li Xiao, just sat on the edge of the cliff, dangling her legs, and nibbling on the jerky in her hands.

The outlined layout is almost complete, of course, this is only tentative, if there is something wrong with the construction in the future, it can be changed at any time.

Putting away the drawings, Li Xiao saw the quiet scene at a glance:

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the beautiful figure shines brightly, and the hair fluttering in the wind adds to the hazy beauty......

It's just that the bulging cheeks and the jerky handed over instantly made the whole atmosphere burn.

"Nizai?"

Li Xiao smiled and pinched Zhou Yi's face, took the jerky, and sat on the cliff with her.

"You foodie......

There are many things to do, but the top one is food.

There is no problem with the carnivores, there are a lot of wild creatures around, and you can get raw meat by sending the red-haired giant eagle and the velociraptor team out to hunt.

On the herbivore side, because there was no arable land that could be self-sufficient, Li Xiao asked Zhou Qing to ride a diplodocus and collect berries around the crater.

He himself was not idle, and after building a simple wooden house as a temporary shelter, he shifted all his focus to farming.

Of course, the sooner the better.

Laying down large pieces of cultivated land tightly, Li Xiao made two large tracts of cultivated land in the open space in the east of the lake.

One is used to grow functional crops such as berries, and one is used to grow edible vegetable crops such as corn and potatoes.

Depending on the type, the focus is also different.

Among all kinds of berries, black berries are the most in demand, mainly used to make *** tame creatures, and are the most planted.

The second is the white berries that are used to make *** and the purple berries that are favored by animals.

Other red berries, yellow berries, and the like are useless except for some recipes and dyes made to make them, and they are only planted in small amounts.

There is not much difference between the types of vegetables on this side, and they are the main food of players and herbivorous domesticators, and the more the better.

Li Mu plans to build greenhouses in this area in the future, and with high-quality fertilizers, the output of vegetables will definitely be quite a lot.

It's a pity that greenhouse buildings need a lot of crystals to make, and Li Xiao's current reserves are far from enough, so this matter can only be shelved.

Water diversion, fertilization, sowing ......

Zhou Qing, who had collected enough berries, also joined in sowing, but even then, the two fields of cultivation took two people three days.

As a result, it is very apt to describe it in a sentence in the Ark game-

[Planting requires a lot of time and effort, but it can be done once and for all. 】

Once planted, the next step is the enclosure for the creatures.

In the Ark game, the domesticated creature is completely like a machine, and if you don't care about it, it will stay there motionless.

Unlike in the Ark world, domesticated creatures still maintain their nature as "creatures" although they "obey" the player.

In the game, it's the same thing, so the creatures are on the "patrol mode" that can't be turned off.

If you don't limit it, it's "running around".

Of course, there is no need to lock up every domesticated animal, build a pen for small creatures, and fence off the cultivated land.

Finally, a wall is used to separate the living area from the lower part of the area, so that the entire area around the volcanic fire lake can be seen as a huge enclosure.

With enough space, even if Li Xiao tames the larger Tyrannosaurus Rex in the future, he doesn't have to worry about the lack of space.

The layout of the courtyard was completed, and the next step was the construction of the "castle".

In line with the fact that this is the future common residence of the two, Li Xiao also specially discussed the layout of the construction with Zhou Yi.

But when he saw the "incomprehensible" gaze cast by Zhou Yi, who was gnawing corn, he knew that these things that consumed brain cells could only be taken care of by himself.

This is definitely a time-consuming and laborious task.

However, isn't it also a joy to build your own "castle" brick by brick?
