The shelter is now available, and the basic survival guarantee is also available. According to his previous experience in playing games, Li Xiao’s current job only needs to feed the dodos every day, take care of the plants, and brush up the levels without any trouble. His novice period can be safe and fast.
spent.
After unlocking the Velociraptor Saddle and the Pterodactyl Saddle, Li Xiao can explore the Ark Island at will as long as he does not risk his own life and get close to those extremely dangerous creatures.
But Li Xiao really couldn't wait any longer. He eagerly hoped to meet other "players" on this Ark Island.
After careful calculation, he has been in the Arkworld for nearly half a month, and the loneliness during this half month has really made him suffer.
Whether he can return home is unknown. His only hope is that there are other people on the island.
But if not...
Li Xiao's heart tightened when he thought that he would die alone on this island!
Man is a social animal. If he lives alone for a lifetime, he might as well die now.
Although his reason told him that it was very unwise to act on the island now, he decided to go out and look for traces of other people.
After packing his bags, Li Xiao was ready for action early in the morning.
There is no need to follow the Pterodactyl Velociraptor. After all, this trip is quite dangerous. Li Xiao is prepared to resurrect several times. Once the Pterodactyl Velociraptor dies, it cannot be resurrected, which is an irreparable loss for Li Xiao.
The travel distance cannot be too far, and you must ensure that you come back every two days to feed the creatures at home.
Therefore, the scope of this trip should be kept within one day's walking distance at most. According to the map in his mind, Li Xiao had a rough scope.
Bows and arrows, spears, meteor hammers and cooked meat and water bags are all necessary, and campfire sleeping bags must also be prepared. The night will be spent in the wild.
As for the rest of the items in the inventory, Li Xiao put them all in the storage boxes in the house.
Travel lightly and take a trip that comes and goes!
Along the coast, Li Xiao headed south...
The southern part of Ark Island is less dangerous, so you just have to be careful not to stray into the territory of Therizinosaurus again.
As for the velociraptors, Li Xiao can still handle them as long as they don't come in two or three together.
There were not many species of creatures on the coast, they were all harmless herbivores, but Li Xiao saw many animals that were not found on the small plains.
The two huge dinosaurs with two rows of bone plates on their backs in the distance are Stegosaurus.
They were eating grass leisurely, their thick tails swaying slowly, and they looked harmless.
But as long as you get closer, you will find that there are four long and sharp bone spurs on their tails. If you anger them, just shake their tails hard, these bone spurs will be extremely dangerous.
There are also several dinosaurs that are somewhat similar to horses, including the Iguanodon. Although this creature walks on all fours, its forelimbs are as flexible as human hands and can easily pick up berries. They are also a type of food that does not actively attack other creatures.
Grass animals.
The weather is clear and the sea water under the sun is blue and translucent. You can clearly see everything under the sea surface, which makes people have the urge to jump in and take a dip.
However, several giant jellyfish with blue light stopped Li Xiao's impulse. Although these creatures were extremely beautiful in appearance, they were covered in highly toxic toxins, and they could kill themselves if they came in contact with them.
As we continue heading south, the terrain along the coast gradually rises and eventually becomes a high cliff.
Li Xiao continued to move along the beach under the cliff, and soon came to a U-shaped bend in the wall.
The area here is not small, with three sides surrounded by towering cliffs, and only one side facing the sea. It is an excellent place to build a shelter.
However, Li Xiao knew that this was not a good place. If he looked closely, there was a cave entrance at the bottom of the cliff that could only accommodate an adult.
This is another key area on Ark Island - the underground cave!
Although the entrance is small, there is a cave inside. The intricate caves lead directly to hundreds of meters underground.
A giant scorpion as big as an adult! A clawed bat as big as an eagle! An ancient millipede that was three to four meters long and looked like a centipede...
It can be said that underground caves are another extremely dangerous place!
On Ark Island, dangers and benefits coexist. Although underground caves are dangerous, there are also many good things. Rare minerals that are difficult to see on the ground, advanced materials unique to the caves, plants that can be used to make potions, and advanced blueprints hidden in the caves.
…
The most important thing is that in the deepest part of the underground cave, there is an extremely important artifact of the Ark World!
There are a total of eight caves on Ark Island, and the eight caves contain eight artifacts:
The artifact "Immunity" of the poisonous gas cave in the central island!
The artifact "Unity" in the swamp cave in the swamp area!
The artifact "wisdom" in the volcano mine at the foot of the volcano!
The artifact "Hunter" in the Southern Cave of the Southern Islands!
The artifact in the lava cave under the cliff on the southeast beach is "stable"!
The artifact "God" in the cave on the northwestmost cliff!
The artifact "Strong" in the snow mountain cave at the foot of the snow mountain!
The artifact "Swallow" from the Devil's Cave on Northeast Devil Island!
The eight artifacts are distributed in different caves on Ark Island. Obtaining any one of them requires a lot of energy and time.
Artifacts have two functions, one is to offer sacrifices, and the other is to serve as materials for summoning bosses.
Under the three huge obelisks, there is a huge metal plane with a sacrificial altar in the center.
Place a single artifact on it for sacrifice, and the sacrifice platform will return to the sacrificer several production drawings of equipment. The types of equipment are already available in the production column, but the sophistication is different.
And when several different artifacts are combined and sacrificed, a huge world boss will be summoned!
But that's all for the future, and now Li Xiao can't even explore the lava cave in front of him.
The danger levels of caves are also different. The lava cave in front of us is very dangerous. It is impossible to enter the depths of the cave without some decent equipment.
Li Xiao couldn't help but be curious and got into the cave to take a look.
The faintly glowing moss and fungi on the cave walls illuminate the cave passage, making the inside of the cave not dark, but rather hazy and beautiful.
The roads inside are complicated, and there is a fork in the road right at the entrance. Without a map, this cave will take a lot of time to explore.
However, Li Xiao did not have such a problem. He had already memorized the three-dimensional image of the cave in his mind. You must know that he had been to this place more than once in the Ark game.
After looking at the entrance, he backed out.
If you go further inside, "curiosity killed the cat"! Li Xiao is still somewhat self-aware of his current strength, and the purpose of his trip this time is not to explore the cave.
Further south from the cave is the "Southeast Cape" at the southeast end of Ark Island. Standing on the promontory, there is a small island across the sea, which is the "Southeast Paradise" island.
Without a boat or a flying mount, Li Xiao's exploration to the south has come to an end. The next step is to move west along the coast.
It was almost evening, and Li Xiao stood on the high promontory and once again witnessed the majesty of the sunset...
Different from the last time, this time the pterosaur was missing from the beautiful scenery, but the line of sight was more unobstructed, and the sunset was unobstructed.
Standing blankly on the promontory, Li Xiao emptied his mind, and his soul wandered to the horizon with his eyes...
It wasn't until the sunset completely fell into the sea and stars appeared in the sky that he withdrew his gaze with unfulfilled interest.
Such beautiful scenery makes people feel relaxed and happy. The fatigue of many days is swept away, and the loneliness in the heart seems to be alleviated a bit.
After setting up a bonfire and sleeping bag, Li Xiao spent the night on this promontory, with the sky as a quilt, the ground as a mat, and the starry sky as the scenery.
Originally, Li Xiao wanted to enjoy the sunrise scenery in the early morning, but when he woke up, the sun had already risen.
Li Xiao couldn't help but smacked his lips and sighed. If the "alarm clock" was around, he would never wake up so late.
It was planned to return today, but Li Xiao decided to explore further west. Yesterday he stopped and stopped, and most of his time was wasted in other places. In fact, the distance traveled was not enough for one day. If he returned now, it would be noon.
Back to the small plain.
The bonfire stayed here, and Li Xiao decided to build a residence here in the future, not for anything else but because it was a perfect place to watch the sunset.
Going west, we reach the southern islands where Li Xiao captured the pterosaur last time. Although they are called islands, there are actually too many rivers, dividing the southern part of the Ark into many areas. The "islands" are not separated by oceans, but only rivers.
After crossing the bay at the southeastern cape, Li Xiao arrived at the boundary of the archipelago. He decided that the purpose of further exploration was to find a cave on the archipelago - the Southern Cave.
This southern cave is the least dangerous among the eight caves. As long as you upgrade a few levels and unlock the animal skin clothes, you can explore it.
The plan was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. Looking at the river in front of him, Li Xiao was in trouble.
The last time we came, we crossed from the inland, and the rivers we encountered were just small rivers, but the river at the mouth of the sea was a real "river"!
Not to mention the width of more than ten meters, the water flow was even more turbulent, which completely gave up Li Xiao's idea of crossing through the water.
Come on, we can only return.
Returning the same way, Li Xiao was familiar with the road and returned to his home in Xiaopingyuan in the evening.
After feeding the domesticated creatures one by one, the sky also darkened.
The south has been explored, and the direction of travel tomorrow is north!
As night fell, in this world where there was no light and the night was extremely dangerous, Li Xiao could only go to bed early.
Lying in bed, looking at the night sky outside the window, the joy of moving to a new home gradually faded away, followed by the nostalgia for my hometown...
This time of day is the most difficult time for Li Xiao. He is busy with work during the day and has no time to think too much. But in his spare time, he has thoughts that he can't get rid of.
"Look up at the bright moon, lower your head to miss your hometown!" It's a pity that there is no moon in this Arkworld, otherwise this poem would definitely fit Li Xiao.
Li Bai just left his hometown, but what about himself? He left that world and came to this deserted game world alone. Not to mention a comfortable life, even his basic survival became a problem.
"You think, can I still go back? Do I have to live the rest of my life alone?"
After two consecutive days of exploration without finding any trace of anyone else, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
The deep feeling of loneliness came from the bottom of his heart. Li Xiao touched the "alarm clock" beside the bed and told it the loneliness in his heart...
"Alarm Clock" felt Li Xiao's touch, narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, and made a soft "coo" sound from his mouth.
It's a pity that it's not a human, it can't understand Li Xiao's words, and it can't make any answers...
It was late at night, and except for the three spire towers hanging high in the sky that glowed with some light, the entire Ark Island was plunged into darkness.
In the wooden house, a person and a bird fell asleep...
…
Those who are familiar will not be unfamiliar. Early the next morning, Li Xiao was woken up by the "alarm clock" on time.
He found that he was used to being woken up by it every day, just like yesterday he didn't have it calling him, and he was still not used to it.
After touching the "alarm clock"'s head, Li Xiao stood up and prepared for today's trip.
Although no human traces were found to the south, exploration to the north is still unknown.
What if... just what if... someone else was discovered... that would be great...
Li Xiao didn't dare to have high expectations. He was afraid that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Li Xiao encouraged himself a little and embarked on the journey to explore Ark Island again.
To the north of the small plain is a swamp area. Li Xiao is not strong enough to cross the swamp area yet, so he can only go west and bypass the swamp area.
Not long after walking along the border of the swamp area, I heard the sound of water flowing in the distance. After crossing a hill, a waterfall flowing down from the cliff appeared in front of me.
The drop of this waterfall is more than ten meters, and the water flow is not small.
A huge pool emerges from the bottom of the waterfall. It's not very deep, but it's quite large. It's basically just a smaller lake.
The water of this lake flows to the east and is connected with the swamp area to the east.
In the shallows of the lake, several amphibians were wandering leisurely...
From time to time, there were several frog calls heard in my ears, which were made by devil frogs as big as a table.
The creature with a head like a flat arrow is the salamander.
What was swimming in the water was a huge coelacanth. Judging from its size, one fish could feed Li Xiao for several days.
Turbulent waterfalls, clear lakes, and the surrounding lush green vegetation——
This place is another place with extremely beautiful scenery. Li Xiao is also familiar with it and has been there many times in the game.
But he had not noticed at all that the scenery here was so amazing.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Xiao felt relieved:
With the development of science and technology, the graphics of computer games are becoming clearer and clearer, and the scenery in the games is becoming more and more beautiful.
There are countless games with better scenery than Ark. When Li Xiao played Ark, he had long ignored the scenery in the game.
But when he came to the game world and saw Ark Island with his own eyes, Li Xiao realized how charming the scenery on Ark Island was.
Involuntarily, he had already planned in his mind the style of building his house here.
He has decided that as long as there is a beautiful place on the island, he will build a residence, so as not to waste this beautiful scenery that no one appreciates...
After spending a lot of time beside the waterfall, Li Xiao finally remembered the purpose of his trip, quickly calmed down, and prepared to continue exploring.
Before continuing north, Li Xiao decided to go to one place first, which was the green obelisk hanging in the sky that could be clearly seen when he looked up.
This place is very close to the green obelisk. Looking up, the lines on the obelisk are clearly visible, and the entire obelisk can only be barely reflected in the eyes.
After walking towards the obelisk for a while, Li Xiao came completely under the obelisk.
From a distance, you can see the light pillar on the obelisk going straight to the ground and inserting into a high-lying place.
As I got closer, I saw that this towering place was not a mountain peak, but a few sharp and towering rocks!
Each of these boulders is curved inward and pointed upward. It is like holding a beam of light with your palm upward and your fingers slightly bent.
The distribution of boulders is also extremely regular, neatly surrounding it like a formation.
It seems that most of these boulders are incomplete. The fallen stones reveal metal-like objects with complex patterns, which also emit a faint green light, matching the obelisk in the sky.
These huge rocks must have been here for who knows how many years.
The terrain under the obelisk is generally high, and it is impossible to climb up. There is only a winding path running through the gaps between the boulders...
