In the open space halfway up the mountain, the Ancient God Pterodactyl with two players riding on it was hovering at low altitude, making sharp turns from time to time to avoid attacks from below.
In the open space, the angry giant ground sloth kept picking up stones and feces on the ground and throwing them into the air.
Unfortunately, after suffering the previous thrill, the Ancient God Pterosaur has already increased its height. Even if the stone can be thrown, its accuracy and strength have almost disappeared. As long as they pay a little attention, the two players will be in almost no danger.
"Why does this guy get more and more excited as he fights?" Li Xiao glanced at the long-barreled rifle in his hand suspiciously.
If it hadn't personally stuffed the ammunition filled with green anesthetic into the barrel, he would have doubted whether what he shot was a stimulant.
"Oh, it's numb! It's numb!"
More than twenty tranquilizer darts hit the giant ground sloth, and the giant ground sloth finally reacted. It was panting heavily, the movements of its hands gradually became slower, and the attacks thrown at it gradually became weaker.
The giant ground sloth seems to have felt the strangeness in its body. It no longer throws things to attack players in mid-air, but turns around and runs on all fours towards the direction of the cave.
"You want to escape?" Li Xiao held up a long-barreled rifle and fired another tranquilizer dart at the giant ground sloth's big ass, "It's too late!"
The anesthetic properties continued to spread in the giant ground sloth's body, and its speed became slower and slower. By the time it reached the entrance of the cave, it could no longer move its legs.
Perhaps it was a mother's instinct. Before losing consciousness, the giant ground sloth desperately pushed its body to the entrance of the cave, blocking the entrance to the cave.
Seeing that the Ground Sloth was fainting, Li Xiao, Zhou Qing and others landed and stood in front of the Ground Sloth.
Looking at the giant ground sloth blocking the entrance of the cave, the two players couldn't help but feel soft - the creatures on Ark Island are ignorant and savage, but such maternal brilliance appears frequently, which is touching.
In the mind of the giant ground sloth, it may feel that it is not being anesthetized, but that it is going to die. But even so, it still has to block the entrance of the cave to give its children a chance of survival.
"Wow! It's so pitiful, Li Xiao, don't bully it!"
At some point, the kind-hearted Zhou Yi took over from Zhou Qing. She hugged Li Xiao's arm tightly and burst into tears.
Li Xiao, on the other hand, looked at Zhou Yi, who was wearing pear blossoms and raining rain, with black lines on his head, and his defense seemed weak.
"Why are you bullying it? I want to tame it! Humph, after eating so much honey from me, you will have to eat it when you wake up. The worst thing is... just give it more later."
"Oh," Zhou Yi immediately put away her tears, "don't break your promise!"
"Okay, okay, this place is dangerous, let Zhou Qing come out quickly." Li Xiao touched Zhou Yi's head and said dotingly.
Turning to the ground sloth——
Ironically, although its fallen body blocked most of the entrance to the cave, the entrance was much larger than its body, and it could be climbed over to enter the cave.
After all their efforts, it was all in vain. Fortunately, Li Xiao and the two wanted to tame it and had no other ill intentions...
Li Xiao was too lazy to climb over the giant ground sloth to enter the cave. He could just wait for it to wake up and successfully tame it, so that it could move away on its own.
"Oh, the honey I paid for with my life is all here. After eating it, it will be gone!"
Li Xiao took out all the honey from the inventory, placed it in front of the ground sloth, and muttered in pain again.
"Hmph, when I get back, the first thing I will do is take you to dig out the honeycomb! Use your labor to compensate for my losses!"
While talking, he broke off another piece of honeycomb honey and stuffed it into his mouth. He also broke off a piece and handed it to Zhou Qing who was gathering tears...
…
There were no surprises in the taming process. After eating the honey piled in front of him, the light of successful taming enveloped the entire body of the giant ground sloth.
When the anesthesia in the giant ground sloth's body gradually dissipated, Li Xiao immediately ordered it to move away from the hole.
Under the forced taming of the system, the giant ground sloth gave way to the road without any hesitation.
Entering along the cave, you will see a room-sized space at first sight.
On the ground near the rock wall, there are straw mats spread out from weed branches, and on the straw mat, two small ground sloths half as tall as a man are fighting for a piece of honeycomb flowing with honey.
The fur of the little guys has grown up, and they look exactly like the giant ground sloth, with only slight differences in color.
The two little guys were obviously restless. The stray honey was everywhere, and a lot of it was stained on their bodies, making their hair messy and sticky.
Seeing strange creatures entering the cave, the two little guys were not afraid at all. They came up to Li Xiao and sniffed, then sniffed again, adding a lot of honey to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao didn't mind, he was grinning, already happy!
Now there are three giant ground sloths!
Make a lot of money!
Taking out the honey cube he had secretly hidden, Li Xiao waved it in front of the two little guys, instantly attracting their attention.
While seducing, he retreated, and soon he led the two little ground sloths out of the cave.
Asking the big ground sloth to watch the two little ones, Li Xiao stuffed the honey cube in his hand into his mouth under the drooling gaze of the two little guys.
Hehe...it feels so good to bully the naughty kid!
There is no need to forcibly tame the two little ground sloths. If they are taken back and nurtured and cultivated, they will not be much worse than the ones forcibly tamed by the system.
Although forced taming is to help players control these wild creatures, Li Xiao still has some resistance to this forced master-pet relationship.
He didn't know whether Arkworld was a "manufactured" false world, but Li Xiao knew that these creatures were not just groups of data, they were also living beings.
Since they are living creatures, isn't it good to let them maintain their true nature?
Being forced to obey orders is a bit cold...
…
Three ground sloths are not enough to deal with the broodmother spider, but the honey in his hand has been exhausted, and Li Xiao must go home to replenish it first.
And the trouble now is how to bring back these two small ground sloths.
After thinking about it, the only way was to go home and bring the giant eagle with him, and let the giant eagle take the two little ground sloths back first.
As for the giant ground sloth... I could only take the land route and ride back.
Zhou Qing was asked to ride the ancient god back to take the giant eagle, while Li Xiao stayed behind with the three ground sloths.
Of course, he had another purpose for staying, and that was to build an outpost here.
This place is located on the mountainside of Bingya Mountain, and the temperature is suitable. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be used as an outpost for future exploration of Bingya Mountain.
"Remember, bring a set of crossbow turrets when you go back, and bring more bullets and tranquilizer darts." Before Zhou Qing left, Li Xiao raised his head, looked at the giant eagles flying on the mountain, and said with a serious face,
"There are too many giant eagles on this mountain, and the red-haired ones will be easily targeted. We have to be prepared to fight the entire group of eagles.
Of course, we are not afraid of them either. We happen to be short of a few giant eagles to serve as a transport team, so we will solve them all this time!"
Looking at the giant eagles flying on the mountain, Li Xiao remembered the scene when he was chased by the giant eagles and the elite giant eagles...
At that time, he was very embarrassed by these guys, and it was time to take revenge!
