Chapter 221: A First Look at the Ocean
The things on the ground are put aside for a while, and the next period of time is busy in the water.
After returning to the crater, Li Xiao and Zhou Qing began to prepare for the initial development of the ocean-first, they built a small wharf in the north of the crater, where Li Xiao had previously detected the sheltered bay.
It's very close to the base of the crater, so you don't have to build any shelter, just build a simple wooden house, which is only used to store lockers.
The raft and the motorboat were placed on both sides of the pier, and the preliminary arrangement of "going to the sea" was completed.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiao rode the emperor crocodile and slowly walked to the shore, and after bringing the made diving equipment, Li Xiao waved his hand to Zhou Qing, and then jumped into the water on the emperor crocodile.
Zhou Qing here started the motorboat and drove the motorboat to follow in the direction of Li Xiao's advance.
Li Xiao has already felt the danger of the seabed, the water is the world of marine life, if he encounters danger, he basically has nowhere to escape - at this time, the motorbike on the water is his only life-saving harbor, so although Zhou Qing did not go into the water, her work is equally important.
Entering the ocean, you will see the colorful underwater world, and the diving device in your mouth will continue to spit out bubbles along with Li Xiao's breathing, and the breathing will be smooth, and there is no obstacle at all, I have to say that the things produced by the Ark system are powerful.
Although the underwater view is not as far as in the air, the sunlight shining from the surface of the sea and the various plants that shine under the water make the whole underwater world clear.
As far as the eye can see, large and small sea creatures are moving in the vast expanse of water in front of you.
After all, the emperor crocodile is not a sea creature, although it can stay in the sea for a short time, but every once in a while, it must float to the surface of the water to breathe, and its speed in the water is not much, so Li Xiao's first plan is to tame a sea creature as a means of transportation.
Marine means of transportation, of course, the first choice is the ichthyosaur with very low taming difficulty and good speed, there are many creatures in the shallow sea area, Li Xiao just rode the emperor crocodile to swim on the coast for a while, and followed by three or four ichthyosaurs.
Ichthyosaurs are "curious babies" who love to swim with their curious creatures.
The emperor crocodile sped up and bit a millstone-sized sea fish in front of it into its mouth, under Li Xiao's command, it only bit off half of the fish, and the remaining half was put into the inventory by Li Xiao, and turned around and handed it to a strong ichthyosaur that came with him.
The ichthyosaur may be the easiest creature to tame in the ocean, and before half the fish is finished, the light of successful taming has shrouded the ichthyosaur, and the ichthyosaurus excitedly circles around the emperor crocodile, and arches the emperor crocodile affectionately with its head.
Getting off the mount, Li Xiao patted the emperor crocodile and asked him to return to land, while he took out the ichthyosaurus saddle from the inventory and put it on the ichthyosaur......
Throwing the rest of the fish in the water, Li Xiao rode the tame ichthyosaur and left directly, leaving several other ichthyosaurs to compete for the fish, and at the same time, these "curious babies" stopped following.
The speed of the ichthyosaurus was significantly faster than that of the emperor crocodile, and at full speed, he could even feel the resistance caused by the current around him.
Among the creatures in the sea that can act as mounts, the speed of the ichthyosaur is only medium, and the real king of speed is the weird-looking, flat-shaped manta ray! Li Xiao also saw a few manta rays in the distance, but unfortunately although its saddle was unlocked, monkfish oil was needed to tame manta rays, and monkfish only haunted the deep sea, so don't think about it for the time being.
The next thing is to look around to see if there is a figure of the broad-winged horseshoe crab, Li Xiao rode the ichthyosaur and went straight to a stone forest under the water, the creature of the broad-winged horseshoe crab likes to hide itself in corals and seaweed, and it is slow, it is difficult to find if you don't look carefully, and this is still a shallow water, and it is more difficult to find.
Of course, Li Xiao also has to be careful, the broad-winged horseshoe crab is not a harmless creature, its attack is fast and stealthy, and it has a strong paralyzing toxin, if it is hit, he may not even have the kung fu to be stunned!
Being unconscious in the sea, that's no different from being dead!
Thinking of this, Li Xiao still decided to tame the broad-winged horseshoe crab before looking for it
A megalodon protects himself, at least with a megalodon presence, he won't be defenseless even if he faints......
The weapons and tools necessary to tame were already in the inventory, and he didn't hesitate, looking around and staring at a lone megalodon in the distance.
Li Xiao first swam to the surface of the water, signaled his position to Zhou Qing, and asked her to drive a motorbike and be ready to meet him at any time, and after arranging a retreat, he rode the fish dragon and went straight to the megalodon.
The megalodon does not swim as fast as the ichthyosaurus, which is why Li Xiao dared to tame this creature alone.
The megalodon, in the history of the Earth, was the largest predator ever built, with a powerful bite force that far surpassed that of a Tyrannosaurus rex! They have been hailed by many paleontologists as the most powerful creatures in the history of the planet!
But in the Ark World, the Megalodon is of average level, and although it is huge, it is far less dangerous than the plesiosaurus.
However, when Li Xiao approached the megalodon, he was still shocked by his huge size - the bloody mouth that could easily engulf a car was full of razor-like teeth, and there were several rows! In terms of size, this megalodon is almost ten meters long, which is much larger than the land overlord Tyrannosaurus rex!
In front of such a behemoth, the player seems to be just an insignificant plankton......
The first time he saw the megalodon, Li Xiao even had the idea of fleeing quickly, but unfortunately this idea was too late, because the distance was too close, and the megalodon had also discovered them!
Seeing the megalodon coming straight towards him, Li Xiao also suppressed the fear in his heart and took out his crossbow.
In the water, all hot weapons are useless, and the player is once again back in the days of cold weapons using spears and crossbow arrows.
He looked at the crossbow with the tranquilizer arrow in his hand, and then at the huge size of the megalodon...... For a while, Li Xiao even doubted whether he could anesthetize and put down this giant beast.
In terms of long-range weapons, bows and arrows are simply not considered, and only a crossbow with a mechanical structure and powerful power can shoot tranquilizer arrows.
He does have a more powerful harpoon gun that is more suitable for underwater attacks, but before unlocking the harpoon tranquilizer arrow, he can only make do with a crossbow, an epic crossbow, and even if the kinetic energy in the water is lost, it should be able to shoot far.
"Believe in yourself, megalodon has a very low anesthesia value! Believe in yourself!" Li Xiao rubbed his face fiercely, and silently cheered himself up in his heart.
Aiming the crossbow at the swimming megalodon, he pulled the trigger.
The crossbow arrows launched in the water obviously saw that the speed was much slower, and the crossbow arrows that were originally flying by with a bang were actually slowly shot through the water under Li Xiao's gaze at this moment, and it seemed that the killing distance was many meters.
Fortunately, at the relative speed of the megalodon swimming at the same speed, the arrow still stabbed the megalodon in the head, and the *** smeared on the arrow lost part of it in the water, but there were still many *** who managed to enter the flesh and blood of the megalodon.
Seeing the megalodon approaching, Li Xiao didn't care about getting on the arrow again, turned around and rode on the fish dragon, and swam directly towards the deep water......
