The specific descriptive name should be called folding barrel double barrel short shotgun.
Its length is only slightly longer than a simple pistol, and its ammunition capacity is only two rounds.
The unlocking of this weapon has made up for Li Xiao's last shortcoming in combat - close combat.
Long-barreled rifles attack at long distances, and pistols attack at medium distances, and this shotgun is a powerful weapon at close range. In terms of power, a shotgun fired close to the face can definitely match the power of several shots from a rifle.
With the unlocking of shotgun bullets, the epic drawing of the shotgun he obtained last time finally came in handy...
Now Li Xiao can basically say goodbye to cold weapons such as spears, knives and bows.
The individual's combat effectiveness increased again, but there was not much joy on Li Xiao's face.
He understands that as the level increases, his own combat power is no longer important. One of the characteristics of the Ark game is that after passing the novice stage, the player's combat power will be transferred to domesticated creatures.
.
Reflected by the quality and quantity of domesticated organisms.
Want to use these limited-power firearms to deal with those huge creatures? Difficult! It is far easier than taming a few powerful creatures to deal with them.
The improvement of an individual's combat power will only serve as an improvement in his self-preservation ability in the future.
Of course, the killer weapons unlocked at the top of the level do not count...
"For things like fighting, it's up to the younger ones... As the 'boss', I can just take command."
Count the creatures you have tamed on your fingers - Velociraptor, Triceratops, Giant Eagle, Pig Crocodile, Sabre-toothed Tiger, these are all purely combat pets; while Star-tailed Beast, Pteranodon, Parasaurolophus, Ankylosaurus, and Great Horned Deer
These are "tool pets", among which the star-tailed beast and the ankylosaurus also have some combat capabilities; there are also two direwolf cubs and an Argentine giant eagle cub. Of course, before they grow up, they are only
Can be used as a "real pet"...
The most powerful among them is the Triceratops wearing the legendary saddle. In a head-to-head encounter, this Triceratops can even fight against a single Allosaurus.
Li Xiao would like to tame a few more Triceratops and equip them with legendary saddles on each one, so that they can form a very powerful armed force in Li Xiao's hands.
But the problem is that this plan is too difficult to realize - the production of each set of legendary saddles requires a large amount of metal. The metal ingots Li Xiao has been accumulating were all used up after making only one set.
If you want to form a steel torrent, you will need too many resources...
For a long time, Li Xiao's development has been too rapid, so that his accumulation of resources is very insufficient. This is a big problem, because the later the stage, the more materials will be consumed for production and construction.
Metal, wood, stone, animal skin...
Li Xiao had no shortage of stone and animal skins, but wood and metal gave him difficulties.
Metal ores are concentrated on the central peak. If you want to obtain them in large quantities, Li Xiao had better build the tree house in the west of the central island, because the metal ores on the central peak are concentrated on the west slope of the peak.
To build the tree house, Li Xiao needed a lot of wood. But he was unable to obtain a large amount of wood.
If you expect him to chop with an ax one by one, how long will it take?
Go to the ice field to find a mammoth to tame?
Li Xiao shook his head.
The shadow of being chased by the giant eagles last time has not faded yet? Li Xiao dare not pretend to be dead in the ice field again.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiao's eyes lit up? The plan came to mind.
Want to get a lot of wood? Cutting down trees is not the only option!
It’s okay to dig out a beaver’s nest!
On this Ark Island, there is a creature called a giant beaver? And the giant beaver’s nest...hehe...
The giant beaver is a creature similar to the mammoth. They are both good at gathering wood.
They are natural builders. Each giant beaver's nest is made of a large number of tree trunks and branches.
It's a pity that Li Xiao can't tame them now. The giant beaver's fur is thick and extremely tough, and the tranquilizer arrow may not be able to pierce it at all. If you want to tame them, you may have to wait for the tranquilizer dart to be unlocked...
Can't tame it? But Li Xiao can tear down his home? With the inventory, the giant beaver's lair is just a pile of wood!
Moreover, there are often unexpected harvests in the giant beaver's lair...
Flying at low altitude on a pterosaur, Li Xiao searched along the river around the northern part of the central island.
In the game, the giant beaver has a fixed refresh point, but this is in the Ark world? Li Xiao can only rely on luck to find it.
…
This time, he was lucky.
After just flying over the river in the north, he saw something strange in the river.
In the river, a nest made of a large group of wooden branches was clearly visible. Looking closely, on the shore around it, a rather small creature was gnawing on a tree as thick as a barrel.
The creature was covered in thick hair, like a giant rat, and looked very similar to the ordinary beavers in Li Xiao's original world.
Giant beavers are mostly gentle creatures and do not attack other creatures.
But if someone dares to approach its nest, it will become furious and attack the intruder crazily.
Li Xiao had two choices: kill the giant beaver next to its nest and then dig out its nest; or secretly dismantle its nest.
Li Xiao was going to choose the latter, because killing this giant beaver was tantamount to killing the goose that lays the eggs.
Leave it to build a beaver nest, so you can continue digging next time...
Thinking about this, Li Xiao couldn't help but smile sinisterly, but the giant beaver that was still chewing on the tree had no idea of the misery it would face next.
Quietly, Li Xiao directed the pterosaur to land on the other side.
Taking off his carapace armor, Li Xiao moved his body. Without wasting too much time, he slowly waded into the river and swam carefully towards the beaver nest in the middle of the river.
The water here is crystal clear and there are many fish swimming around. No piranhas were seen, which makes it less of a worry.
Li Xiao swam gently, trying not to make too much noise. His body blocked the beaver's view with the help of the beaver's nest.
After all, there was no way to shoot in the water. Once the giant beaver on the shore was disturbed, Li Xiao would have no choice but to run away.
The more dangerous situation is that he is caught up by a giant beaver that swims very fast before he can reach the shore. If he gets bitten a few times, the loss outweighs the gain...
The river was not wide, but within a few breaths, Li Xiao had already swam to the beaver nest.
The beaver nest in front of us is very huge, almost the size of a truck, and looks like a pile of randomly stacked lumber.
But Li Xiao understood that the wood pile was hollow, and inside was the beaver's nest. The entrance was in the water.
He stuck his head out and looked at the other side. The giant beaver was still busy with his head down. Li Xiao took a deep breath and slowly stretched out his arms.
receive!
Suddenly, the huge "pile of wood" in front of them disappeared into the water in an instant, the river flowed, and the huge nest here seemed to have never existed.
This was beyond Li Xiao's expectation. In his impression, the inventory would only take back things he could pick up. He didn't expect that the beaver's nest would be taken away all at once!
The beaver's nest suddenly disappeared, and Li Xiao's figure was completely exposed. Fortunately, the beaver's sight was not here, and it had not discovered Li Xiao yet.
Li Xiao quickly sank into the water and slowly swam towards where he came from...
