"This is what Ark Island looks like," Li Xiao threw away the branch in his hand, patted the dust on his hand, pointed to the scratches on the ground and continued, "This is where we are now, the center of the map...
"
Zhou Yi on the side listened to Li Xiao's explanation, nodding her head like a primary school student from time to time.
"For our plan to return home, you and I must work together to survive on this island while constantly improving our strength... to challenge the stumbling blocks that block our way home! Remember! No one can stop us.
If not, let’s go home!”
"Yeah!" Under Li Xiao's inflammatory words, Zhou Yi nodded heavily.
"But..." Li Xiao turned his eyes to Zhou Yi, "The first priority now is to train you and make you a warrior!"
"Made me into a warrior? Why?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi looked confused.
Li Xiao, with a black line on his face, hugged his head in despair.
"I've said so much, don't you understand yet?" He bared his teeth and clawed his hands, "This world is very dangerous!!"
Grabbing Zhou Yi's slender arm, Li Xiao shook it in front of her.
"In this world where the strong prey on the jungle, how can you, with your thin arms and legs, fight against those dangerous creatures?" The conversation changed and Li Xiao pointed at himself. "Don't expect me to protect you, I have too much to take care of myself!
"
Li Xiao looked a little more serious and grabbed Zhou Yi's shoulders with both hands. "Remember, in this dangerous world, the only one who can protect you is yourself!"
"Yes! I understand!" Zhou Yi said solemnly as if she had recalled something.
After hearing what she said, Li Xiao let go of her shoulders.
"To train you, this central island is not suitable. It seems that I have to take you to the southern region, and I can also help you catch some useful pets..."
Even though Li Xiao was able to navigate the central island with ease, in reality he only relied on the high walls and the light of powerful domesticated creatures. Without these, his survival on the central island would have been very embarrassing.
Although the central island is not as dangerous as the northern part of Ark Island, it is not something Zhou Yi, a "level 2 player", can play...
The yard of Xiaopingyuan has been occupied by the Dudu Tyrannosaurus Rex. Li Xiao will not risk his life to provoke that big guy. Li Xiao is planning to build another shelter in the south. After much thought, he plans to go to the southernmost stone forest -
—
The danger there is not high, construction materials are everywhere, and it is not far from the southern cave. You can take Zhou Yi to the cave to experience it.
Another point is that it's not far from the colony of Pteranodon, so it's just a good time to catch her a pterosaur for transportation. After all, pterosaurs are single-flying pets. It's not good to ride two people all the time. It will tire Xiao Yin.
If it breaks, it will be troublesome...
Having made up his mind, Li Xiao went back to the house and packed his things. This time when he went to the south, he planned to raise Zhou Yi's level before coming back. The time was not likely to be short, and he had to bring everything he needed to bring.
There were a lot of things, and his inventory was full. Li Xiao called Zhou Yi and stuffed the remaining things into her inventory. The benefit of having one more person showed up for the first time...
Kneeling on the pterosaur's back, Li Xiao tightened the leather straps of his leggings. Then, he turned to Zhou Yi and stretched out his hand.
"Let's go."
Zhou Yi, who was standing next to her, was a little embarrassed. She looked at the remaining space on the back of the pterosaur, her face flushed.
"I...how can I sit...sit?"
Li Xiao glanced at his arms and looked at Zhou Yi with a hint of joking. "What do you think?"
"Then I...can I not go?" Zhou Yi's face seemed to be bleeding.
"What do you think?" Li Xiao asked again, with an unquestionable look in his eyes.
"Okay..." Zhou Yi hesitated for a few seconds, then stretched out her hand, and was pulled onto the pterosaur by Li Xiao. She leaned into Li Xiao's arms. Her body was tense and she did not dare to look at Li Xiao at all.
.
"This little girl is so shy!" Li Xiao smiled slightly and shook the reins in his hand. "Let's go!"
…
Zhou Yi's weight is not very heavy, but it is still the weight of one person after all. Plus Li Xiao... the poor Pteranodon Xiao Yin has endured suffering that it should not have to endure!
Under such a heavy load, the pterosaur's flying speed was much slower, and its endurance was even weakened. Every time it flew a certain distance, it had to stop and rest for a while.
Stop and go, the day flies by in a blink of an eye...
As the sky grew dark, Li Xiao finally stopped in front of a small wooden house.
"Are we here?" A sleepy Zhou Yi woke up in his arms. After a day, her shyness had long been forgotten.
"Not yet, but it's getting close. I'll catch up a bit tomorrow morning and it'll be almost there."
Li Xiao jumped off the pterosaur with Zhou Yi in his arms. After putting Zhou Yi down, he walked to the hut and got busy.
"This kind of house is the outpost I built. There are many such huts on Ark Island." Li Xiao introduced it to Zhou Yi while busy lighting the fire.
"Remember, when you spend the night in the wild in the future, you must find a safe place! Cave is not an option, because there are probably other creatures inside. This kind of house is your best choice! It's cold outside, you go in first...
…”
Li Xiao said without looking back, but found that Zhou Yi did not respond. Looking back, he saw that Zhou Yi had fallen into memories.
"I remember one time when I was chased by a huge monster, Zhou Qing and I also encountered a room like this." Zhou Yi's eyes were filled with fear. She looked at Li Xiao and recalled, "At that time,
I feel that this is definitely God taking pity on us and not letting us die in pain anymore..."
She said while recalling, and there was no usual stuttering in her speech.
"It's a pity..." The fear in Zhou Yi's eyes was a bit sad, "This wooden house did not bring us safety. The giant beast easily opened the roof of the wooden house. And Zhou Qing and I died again
...I'm sorry, I really don't dare to enter this wooden house, because every time I go in, I will think of the terrifying creature tearing apart the roof and walls!"
"Besides, there's only one bed in the wooden house. I'll... stay vigil outside for you tonight!"
At this moment, this weak woman had a firm look in her eyes...
Hearing this, Li Xiao stopped what he was doing. After being stunned for a moment, he took out the metal pickaxe from the inventory.
"If the wood one doesn't work, then replace it with a stone one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a metal pick and started knocking on the stone next to the hut.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yi looked at him, "You have been tired all day. There is no need to tear down this house and build a new one just for my words! Just stop!"
However, Li Xiao was still banging on the stones, seemingly angry with Zhou Yi.
"I'm going in! Can't I go in? Don't be angry with me..." Zhou Yi knew she had made a mistake and apologized quickly.
"No need to apologize." Li Xiao turned around, but his eyes were sober and showed no sign of anger.
"Your words reminded me that this wooden house is indeed unsafe! It cannot provide any protection from large creatures. I will replace it with a stone one. Not to mention a stone one. When I unlock the metal building, I will replace it with one of stone."
It's made of metal, that way it's absolutely safe!"
"Then let me help you." After hearing this, Zhou Yi knew that he was not angry with her. She was relieved and recognized Li Xiao's words.
She also took out a metal pickaxe and headed towards the stone on the side...
