Chapter 223: The First Exploration of the Ocean is over
Li Xiao underestimated the rarity of the broadfin horseshoe crab, riding an ichthyosaur with a megalodon as a bodyguard, and he searched the surrounding seabed corals for a day, but did not find the slightest.
After a day in the water, he felt that he was swollen with water......
A person's strength is really limited, and he has no choice but to ask Zhou Zhou Qing to go into the water together, and this time, he is going to look for it in a deeper stone forest at the bottom of the sea.
Not far from the coast, on the boundary between shallow and deep waters, this stone forest is a vast underwater wonder where large and small corals of all sizes gather to find the broad-winged horseshoe crab.
However, the danger here is also higher, where the stone forest is dense, the megalodon cannot swim into it at all, and some narrow places cannot even pass the fish and dragon, so the player can only swim into it alone.
Li Xiao is really risky alone, it is best to cooperate with Zhou Qing and the two, and once he encounters any danger, he will have a response, after all, in the sea, the player cannot wear armor, and the coarse cloth clothes on his body have almost no defense, it is completely "face probing the grass".
Riding the ichthyosaur close to the stone forest and leaving the ichthyosaur in place, Li Xiao and Zhou Qing nodded their heads, then took the harpoon gun, and drilled into the stone forest one after the other, the ecology in the stone forest was richer with six-colored corals, and there were schools of fish swimming in front of the two from time to time......
The two didn't have the heart to appreciate it, interspersed in the stone forest, looking for targets, and at the same time, they also collected some white pearl resources scattered on the bottom of the sea.
After drilling through a narrow gap, the space in front of you suddenly opens up, an open space hidden in the stone forest.
The first thing that caught his eye was a huge strange fish, which was larger than that of a megalodon, and Li Xiao was so frightened that he subconsciously raised his harpoon gun...... After taking a closer look, he let down his guard, and the big fish in front of him was nothing more than a Leeds fish.
It is a creature with a docile personality that never actively attacks the player, and cannot be tamed, but its flesh is delicious, and its whole body is full of high-quality fish, and if you need to stock up on a large amount of high-quality raw meat, the player can slaughter one.
The two were about to bypass the big fish, but when they passed by the big fish, they found an abnormality-
"Is there a hole in the back of it?" The Leeds fish was suspended in the water against a stone wall, lazily motionless, and from Li Xiao's point of view, a small black passage was exposed behind its body.
If you look closer, it's an underwater cave!
There are many underwater caves, large and small, in the ocean of the ark, some large underwater caves, and even big guys like elite dragon plesiosaurus! In addition, electric eels and jellyfish and other creatures also like to congregate in burrows, and underwater caves are not much more dangerous than terrestrial caves.
There is danger, but it also means that there is a reward - although there are no artifacts in the underwater cave, there are still treasure chests, and the quality of the treasure chests is higher! Not only that, but some rare marine resources can only be obtained in underwater caves.
Of course, there are many underwater caves, and not all of them have treasure chests...... For example, the submarine cave in front of me belongs to the kind of tiny mine cave, and it is only ten meters along the passage, and the passage turns straight up, and continues to swim a section, and the two of them actually came out of the water and came to an underwater cave.
The cave is not large, about the size of a basketball court, and is dotted with countless oysters and white pearls, as well as many shiny crystal clusters.
It's a resource cave with a lot of white pearls and crystals!
There are many such caves in the Ark Ocean, but there are also many that can be encountered casually, if it were not for Li Xiao's sharp eyes, I am afraid that they would have passed by it at this moment.
White Pearls, like crystals and metal ingots, are a basic resource that players need in large quantities, and no amount is enough, one can be used to make circuit boards, and the other can be crafted in a wider range......
With the development of the electric age, Li Xiao will have more and more demand for circuit boards in production, and it is unrealistic to expect to pick up those scattered shells on the beach to obtain white pearls.
What are you waiting for? Collect.
White Pearl, a resource in the inventory
The stacks are huge, and the two of them have more than enough inventory to empty the place.
An hour later, the glittering pearl crystals in the cavern were empty and dimmed, and the two players built a campfire, and after a brief repair, they returned to the ocean along the waterway.
As the saying goes, good and bad depend on each other.
When Li Xiao was still silent in the joy of harvesting a large number of resources, he didn't notice a few jellyfish hidden in the stone forest, and when he turned a corner, he saw three light blue transparent jellyfish directly colliding with him.
As mentioned earlier, jellyfish are creatures with extremely strong paralyzing toxins in their bodies, and the effect of this toxin is stronger than ***.
Seeing that, Li Xiao subconsciously hugged a jellyfish into his arms, and then under Zhou Qing's gaze, he began to twitch as soon as he rolled his eyes!
Zhou Qing hurriedly took out the crossbow and killed the three jellyfish, and then dragged the numb Li Xiao back to the motorbike on the sea, looking at Li Xiao who was twitching and spitting water, she helplessly supported her forehead, knowing that today's underwater operation was over.
Li Xiao's safety doesn't have to worry too much, he explained the dangerous creatures under the water to Zhou Qing before, although the jellyfish toxin will paralyze the player, but the effect is similar to ***, as long as you get out of the jellyfish attack in time, you will be fine if you smoke for a while......
Maybe it was Li who lacked water and was born by water, and in the next few days, the two were still exploring in this vast underwater stone forest, and the unlucky Li Xiao also experienced being stunned by jellyfish, electric eel, and broad-winged horseshoe crab......
Yes, the two eventually found the horseshoe crab in the depths of the stone forest, a small, underwater arthropod creature that resembles a lobster...... Of course, the small size of the Ark world also reached the length of an adult's height.
This creature will hide in the mud and sand, and unexpectedly take the initiative to attack players who approach it, unfortunately Li Xiao was hit again, and its attack comes with a strong stun attribute, and players who do not have the slightest defense are basically stunned when they are hit, which is comparable to the speed of action of jellyfish toxin.
This time, Li Xiao was unlucky to be hit in the head by a pincer from a broad-winged horseshoe crab, shattering his skull, and vertigo was saved - so in a burst of system prompts, he successfully turned on and didn't hear the resurrection countdown for a long time.
Li Xiao was killed in one blow, and Zhou Qing didn't dare to stay at all, and returned to the sea without looking back.
I can't help but be afraid to think that the danger in the sea is really much higher than on land......
After the resurrection, Li Xiao didn't talk nonsense, and took the megalodon to the place where he died last time to find the field, and bit several broad-winged horseshoe crabs into several pieces......
With enough Black Pearls, things in the ocean finally came to an end, and the next thing to do was to make the powerful Tektronix cryogenic chamber......
