At the entrance of the cave on the mountainside, the ground sloth raised its head and looked at the two strange creatures in front of it without any sense of danger.
It also chewed some kind of plant roots in its mouth, eating it with gusto.
Li Xiao and Zhou Qing looked at each other, and both saw the speechlessness in each other's eyes - well, it took no effort to get it, even if you can't find anything after wearing iron shoes.
The ground sloth would not actively attack the player, so Li Xiao boldly landed not far from the cave.
There is a flat open space outside the entrance of the cave. The semi-surrounded rock wall wraps this small open space. The vertical rock wall on one side blocks the cold wind from the northwest. As a result, the temperature here is not cold. On the contrary, it is cold.
Somewhat warm.
There are even some green plants growing in the soil in the gaps in the cliff.
"What a great place." Li Xiao muttered and turned his eyes to the ground sloth.
If you look closely, you can see that the giant ground sloth is tall and sitting there leisurely, like a huge stuffed bear.
It is said to be a ground sloth, but it looks more like a bear. It is furry and looks very friendly - but it is actually a giant ground sloth, the same genus as the sloth.
The personality of the giant ground sloth is just like its appearance. It has a gentle personality and does not show any hostility even if two players invade its territory.
Of course, this is without irritating it. The giant ground sloth's two huge palms with sharp claws are not vegetarian!
"I'll try first to see if I can tame it peacefully." Li Xiao said, taking out a piece of honeycomb as big as a head from the inventory and exuding an alluring sweet fragrance and walked forward.
Although he clearly knew that the giant ground sloth in the game could be tamed by stunning, the giant ground sloth in front of him looked really "harmless", so Li Xiao was ready to try to tame it peacefully.
The allure of honey was obviously much higher than the dark roots in the ground sloth's hand. The sloth shrugged its nose and looked brightly at the honeycomb in Li Xiao's hand.
The black rhizome suddenly lost its fragrance and was thrown aside. The sloth climbed up unhurriedly and walked slowly towards Li Xiao.
Under the pressure of the giant ground sloth's huge body, Li Xiao did not dare to feed it directly with his hands. He placed the hive on the ground and slowly took a few steps back.
"Come, eat..." Li Xiao's expression was like that of a weird uncle tempting a little girl to eat a lollipop, extremely vulgar.
Grabbing the honeycomb on the ground, the giant ground sloth's heavy claws directly scratched the honeycomb into pieces. The yellow honey covered its hands, but it didn't dislike it and stretched out its exaggeratedly long tongue to lick the palm of its hand.
The look of enjoyment made Li Xiao secretly swallow his saliva while watching.
Under the gigantic figure of the giant ground sloth, the hive as big as its head could only be stuffed between its teeth and licked its palms clean. It soon turned its longing eyes to Li Xiao and licked the corners of its mouth.
"Don't worry, there are many..." Li Xiao smiled and took out another piece of honeycomb, which was similar in size to the one just now.
Li Xiao stretched out his fingers to dip a finger in the honey and stuffed it into his mouth. Then Li Xiao handed over the rest of the honeycomb... This time he boldly put the entire honeycomb into the hands of the giant ground sloth.
One of the key points of peaceful taming is to proceed step by step, seduce the opponent with a small amount of food, seduce the other person's greed, and strive to maximize the favorability!
Surprisingly, the giant ground sloth did not enjoy the complete hive obtained this time. Instead, it held the hive full of honey and slowly walked back to the cave with its buttocks raised.
"What...is this going on?" Li Xiao and Zhou Qing looked at each other, suddenly confused.
How could a giant ground sloth be satisfied with two honeycombs that are "not even enough to fill the teeth"?
Why did it turn around and go back to its nest?
etc!
Li Xiao seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhou Qing excitedly.
"We sent it!"
"What happened?" Zhou Qing didn't pay attention to what he meant.
Li Xiao pursed his lips in the direction of the cave, "If I guessed correctly - there is a little ground sloth in the cave!"
Zhou Qing also smiled immediately. She squinted her eyes and was about to step into the cave to take a look.
"Wait!" Li Xiao stopped her, "No matter how gentle the earth is, it will not allow other creatures to approach its cubs. Let's tame the ground sloth first."
"Well, okay." Zhou Qing nodded in approval.
The two of them didn't go near the cave, they just waited at the entrance, not in a hurry, since the giant ground sloth couldn't escape anyway.
In the space of half a cigarette, the giant ground sloth came out of the cave. Without any other movement, it crawled straight towards Li Xiao.
After Li Xiao waved his hand for Zhou Qing to step back, he stood boldly and did not flinch.
Sure enough, the giant ground sloth did not attack him. After standing in front of Li Xiao, the giant ground sloth slowly extended its palm towards him.
With a smile on Li Xiao's face, he slowly took out another piece of honey from the inventory and placed it in the ground sloth's hand.
"Good guy, you are using me as a feeding machine," he continued unforgivingly, "When I tame you, I will ask you to compensate me ten times the amount of honey when I get back!"
Next came the long feeding time. While the giant ground sloth was enjoying it, he did not forget the children in the cave. He ate two pieces and took one piece to the cave.
It wasn't until Li Xiao glanced at the inventory that he stopped feeding.
"Good guy, in just a short while, I got a third of the honey."
You must know that in order to tame the giant ground sloth, he only kept some reserves at home and put the rest of the honey into his inventory, adding up to hundreds of units!
One-third is quite a lot, almost half the amount of a honeycomb.
Li Xiao stopped paying attention to the sloth reaching out for honey, turned around to greet Zhou Qing, and went straight to the Ancient God Pterodactyl.
"No, it's so high that I can't brush it up. It seems I have to stun it."
Zhou Qing, who was quite bored with waiting, shrugged and sat directly in the driving seat of the Ancient God Pterodactyl without any nonsense.
Click!
A finger-long tranquilizer dart was inserted into the long-barreled rifle. After the height increased, Li Xiao aimed at the ground sloth who looked up at him reluctantly.
"Did you think we were leaving? Humph! You ate so much honey from me, you have to spit it all out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiao pulled the trigger.
Biu!
The amount of charge in the tranquilizer dart shell is much smaller than that of ordinary bullets, so the sound after firing is very small, like a pistol with a silencer.
The giant ground sloth only felt a slight pain on its body, and the tranquilizer dart with red tail feathers had pierced the hollow needle tip into its fur.
Under the kinetic energy of inertia, all the medicine in the anesthetic dart was injected into its flesh and blood in an instant.
At first, the giant ground sloth didn't react, but it wasn't until it was stabbed repeatedly that it realized that the "financier" in mid-air in front of it had turned against him.
The ground sloth that was attacked was no longer gentle. He stood upright, waved his claws and roared angrily into the air. He grabbed the unknown object on the ground and threw it over!
"Be careful!" Zhou Qing took the lead in discovering the incoming unknown object and hurriedly raised the height of the ancient god pterosaur.
Li Xiao turned sideways, and with Zhou Qing's sudden pull on the reins, he managed to avoid the attack of the black shadow.
Oh my god, it’s a clod of dirt as big as a washbasin! If it hits you, you’ll be disabled or disabled!
Alas, no!
Picking up the scraps that splashed on the armor, Li Xiao's face suddenly darkened!
"Damn! It's not a clod of soil, it's this guy's dried feces! It actually threw feces at me!"
The furious Li Xiao immediately loaded another tranquilizer dart!
