Li Xiao didn't know it clearly, but when he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying flat on the back of an emperor crocodile, surrounded by a channel full of water.
Emperor Crocodile!
Li Xiao suddenly sat up and saw Zhou Qing sitting in front of him, also on the back of Emperor Crocodile.
Looking at the Emperor Crocodile below him, which was mostly in the water, and then at Zhou Qing, Li Xiao understood what was going on.
"Is this...did you tame it?"
"Well... yes and no." Zhou Qing looked at Li Xiao and continued, "I found the Emperor Crocodile and knocked it down with an anesthetic arrow. It was Zhou Yi who did the taming."
"How long have I slept?" Li Xiao asked again.
"Three hours, maybe."
"Three hours! You tamed an emperor crocodile as a pet?! This thing is the largest among medium-sized creatures! It takes two days to tame it forcibly!"
Li Xiao grinned in disbelief, but the reality forced him to believe it.
"I don't know how to tame him. Ask Zhou Yi." Zhou Qing replied.
"Okay..." Thinking of Zhou Yi's ability to coax the elite raptor into submission last time, Li Xiao also understood that this was something he couldn't understand.
However, this emperor crocodile is really good as a mount.
The giant crocodile is huge, and its broad back can accommodate two adults lying flat on their backs. In this swamp cave, it is a dominant presence!
"If I had known that the swamp cave was full of water, I would have tamed an emperor crocodile outside and then come in."
Li Xiao muttered to himself, whether it was envy or jealousy...
…
Li Xiao had difficulty moving, so the matter of sacrificing the artifact was left to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing lived up to his expectations and successfully brought back one orange, two purple and three blueprints.
[Pteranodon Saddle (Legend)]
【Metal Shield(Epic)】
【Carapace Helmet (Epic)】
Although the three blueprints have nothing new, they are all good blueprints that can enhance the player's strength.
Having seen the legendary Triceratops saddle, Li Xiao wanted to know what this legendary pterosaur saddle was like.
However, the pterosaur is purely a creature used as a mount. It is expected that this saddle will not have much combat effectiveness.
After leaving the cave, it was already evening. After returning to the central island tree house under darkness, it started to rain heavily.
After sending Li Xiao back to his bedroom, Zhou Qing helped him onto the bed before leaving.
Zhou Qing yawned and dragged his heavy body back to his bedroom.
After exploring the cave, both Li Xiao and Zhou Qing were exhausted.
However, Li Xiao couldn't sleep.
Because it hurts!
After leaving the cave full of dangers and completely relaxing his spirit, the pain of his broken leg bothered Li Xiao all the time.
In comparison, the pain in my broken arm was nothing.
Li Xiao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his brows were furrowed, and he was holding the animal skin sheet tightly with one hand.
He gritted his teeth, but a low moan still came out from between his teeth.
Li Xiao understood that it would be difficult to fall asleep tonight.
This is not the first time that Li Xiao has been so seriously injured. Previous experience tells him that the pain may last all night, and by early morning, he may be able to fall asleep after being tortured by the pain until he is completely exhausted.
He vaguely remembered that the last time he was so seriously injured was when he was struggling to survive alone on Ark Island...
With a creak, the bedroom door opened.
Then, the torch hanging on the wall was lit again.
Li Xiao looked sideways and saw a sleepy-looking Zhou Qing walking in wearing coarse clothes.
Zhou Qing didn't say anything, but just stepped forward and wiped the cold sweat from Li Xiao's head.
Then, she untied the bandage on Li Xiao's broken leg that was soaked with blood, applied some medicine again, and wrapped the broken leg with a new bandage.
"Zhou Qing? Or Zhou Yi?"
Seeing such actions, Li Xiao felt warm.
Zhou Qing glanced at Li Xiao and said calmly: "What do you think? Can that stupid girl help you deal with the wound?"
Li Xiao: "^_^|||"
Zhou Qing finished changing the medicine and left again. Li Xiao thought she went back to sleep, but he didn't expect that Zhou Qing would come back ten minutes later with a bowl of hot soup.
"Drink some hot soup. On a rainy day, the bedroom is so cold."
Zhou Qing sat beside the bed, picked up the wooden bowl and was about to feed it to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao hurriedly struggled to sit up and resisted: "No, I will do it myself! You must be tired too, go back and rest quickly."
"What are you talking about? Just drink it if you are told to!" Zhou Qing roughly pushed Li Xiao back to the bed.
After drinking a bowl of hot soup, Li Xiao felt that his pain was relieved a little.
Zhou Qing, however, did not return to her bedroom, but put out the torch and lay directly on the bed with Li Xiao.
Of course, she kept a certain distance from Li Xiao.
"Don't think too much, I just want to take care of you and save you the trouble of running back and forth between the two bedrooms!"
Zhou Qing explained, "Also, don't have any bad intentions! If you dare to stretch your hand at night, I will also break your other arm!"
Hearing this, Li Xiao's face turned green: "My eldest sister! I'm already like this, and I still have such bad thoughts! I just have those thoughts..."
Li Xiao shook his bandaged right hand and continued: "I don't have that ability either!"
"That's good!"
"Oh no, I'm not a dirty person to begin with!"
"Shut up! Go to sleep!"
"oh……"
After stopping the bickering, Zhou Qing quickly fell asleep. Her long breathing was mixed with slight snoring. It seemed that she was really tired.
However, the snoring suddenly stopped. Li Xiao turned his head and saw a pair of big eyes staring directly at him.
The next second, slender arms clung to his neck, and his long-haired head leaned into his arms.
His tone was as gentle as water, which was very different from Zhou Qing just now.
"Li Xiao, your legs...are in pain."
In such a scene, Li Xiao immediately understood that this was Zhou Yi coming out again.
It's a pity that just now Zhou Qing was protecting her innocence at all times, but when it comes to Zhou Yi, her power is instantly broken!
Still the kind that takes the initiative to post!
Li Xiao's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "My legs don't hurt, my arms hurt!"
Zhou Yi: "?"
Li Xiao's face was completely red and he said weakly:
"You're holding down my injured arm!"
…
Zhou Yi soon fell asleep in Li Xiao's arms. After all, although they have two different personalities, they still share the same body, and the feeling of fatigue is also the same.
The downpour was still falling, and the raindrops slapped the leaves, making the entire mangrove forest rustle.
The broken leg was still hurting, but Li Xiao didn't care anymore.
The girl in his arms was sleeping soundly, and Li Xiao's heart had never been so at ease.
He didn't even dare to make any big moves for fear of disturbing the girl's dream.
After coming to Arkworld for so long, this was the first time that Li Xiao felt that the night was so warm.
The kind of warmth that someone is with you and you are no longer alone...
