At this moment, the crisis around him was still unresolved. He had no time to check Zhou Qing's injuries in detail. He could only quickly stuff two antidotes into Zhou Qing's mouth.
After slashing a giant scorpion to death with one knife, the implant on Li Xiao's arm flashed, and a rope appeared in his hand.
Supporting Zhou Qing's body, Li Xiao kicked another giant red scorpion away, and repeatedly waved his machete to drive back the giant scorpion group.
Maybe he looked too fierce just now, or maybe the giant scorpion that rushed towards him quickly turned into a corpse. For a while, no giant scorpion dared to charge forward again.
Taking this opportunity, Li Xiao carried Zhou Qing on his back and tied their waists together with ropes, thus fixing her body.
Moving forward, Li Xiao was still not slow even though he was carrying a person on his back. Of course, this time he did not confront the giant scorpion group again, but rushed out according to the weak point of the giant scorpion group behind him.
Taking three steps and two steps at a time, Li Xiao jumped back to the higher platform, stepping on the corpses of the insect swarm just now.
Turning back to face the giant scorpion group, Li Xiao once again took out two standard rifles and held them dual-wielding, aiming at the giant scorpion group.
"Come on!" he yelled!
Perhaps because the shadow of the insect swarm's death was still there, or perhaps they were too far away from the nest, these giant scorpions did not continue to catch up. They all looked at Li Xiao, turned around and returned to the nest.
Li Xiao here breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the giant scorpions retreating.
This b is pretending!
Without enough time to rest, he quickly put Zhou Qing on the ground and checked her condition.
Fortunately, the antidote just now worked. Although the black lines on Zhou Qing's face still did not fade away, she was already awake.
Supporting Zhou Qing, Li Xiao took out the kettle and carefully fed her some water while she was weak.
Although he looked calm on the outside just now, in fact, he was already in a mess inside - he was only worried about Zhou Qing's life.
Zhou Qing only has one resurrection left. If she dies this time... then from now on, she will never be able to take another step out of the crater base!
Exploring caves, taming dinosaurs, and fighting bosses have nothing to do with Zhou Qing!
Even if there is one person missing, it will be extremely difficult for Li Xiao to deal with it alone, but it is still better than losing her forever.
This was also the agreement between the two of them when Zhou Qing begged Li Xiao to help him...
However, looking at the current situation, Zhou Qing's last chance of resurrection is saved.
After resting on the rock platform for half an hour, Zhou Qing was able to speak. After a while, she was able to sit up on her own.
There was no silly apology to each other, and neither of them argued about what happened just now, such as whether it was her fault or his fault.
Both of them understood that the situation just now was inevitable, and they had already done the best way to deal with it!
The Arkworld is dangerous. Even if you are 10,000% prepared, various emergencies will still make players panic at any time. After all, manpower is limited.
It's impossible not to take some risks. You can't just not explore the cave if you know it's dangerous...
After resting for a while, Zhou Qing's body was basically fine. After all, the effect of the antidote produced by the system was absolutely guaranteed.
"I didn't expect that these red giant scorpions look weak, but the poison on their tails is so powerful. It is much more powerful than the poison of Titanoboa! Come on, let me see your wounds..."
Seeing that Zhou Qing was fine, the stone hanging in Li Xiao's heart had basically fallen away. The only worry now was that the traces of poisoning on her face were still there.
The black blood vessel lines covered the entire side of the face, and it only became less dark after more than an hour.
After taking off her helmet, Zhou Qing's tied long hair spread out. It has to be said that wearing metal armor, the heroic spirit between her eyebrows combined with the strange-shaped blood vessel lines on her upper face gave people a very strange iron-blooded feeling.
…
"Hey, am I that good-looking? You're stupid!" Zhou Qing knocked on Li Xiao, who was stunned.
Li Xiao chuckled, "I would like to see other people, but there is no one else on the island except us?"
"Then you mean you won't look at me if there are other people?"
Li Xiao put away his gaze and joked: "Of course! After all, people always have aesthetic fatigue..."
"Begging for a beating!"
…
The two of them were chatting and joking, but at the same time, the synthesized sound of the Ark system sounded in their ears:
[Welcome players "Li... Error... Zhou... Error"!... sizzling... unknown error... system self-checking... unknown error... sizzling... system restarting...]
The two subconsciously turned on the light screen and looked up at the same time!
The light screen displayed a bunch of garbled codes, and then the light screen suddenly disappeared in front of the two of them. Looking at the implant on the arm, it turned out as well!
?????
!!!!
What's going on?
The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes!
Look, a new person is coming to the Arkworld! But why does this new person crash the system and restart it?! Is the new person coming?
The faces of the two people were full of solemnity at this moment. The implants could no longer be used, and the menu representing the player could no longer be used. The inventory and everything were gone!
Besides, what is going on with this new player?
What happens when the Ark system restarts?
"Let's go back to the ground first!"
A series of questions troubled the two of them, and they were not in the mood to rest anymore. They got up and ran towards the exit of the cave.
As for the artifact that is about to be obtained...what kind of artifact is it? Compared with newcomers and system crashes, it doesn't matter what artifact it is. You can just pick it up later...
Besides, the inventory cannot be used anymore, and the artifact cannot be taken away...
Fortunately, Li Xiao still had two standard rifles on hand that he could take back from his inventory in the future, otherwise the two of them would have faced the trouble of dealing with dangerous creatures with bare hands.
Although they cleared the road of dangerous creatures when they came down, there were countless hidden crevices in the rocks in the cave, and they could not guarantee whether there would be any dangerous creatures blocking the way back.
The two guns still have a lot of bullets, but it is impossible to squander it as much as before. However, there should not be many creatures on the return trip, so saving a little will be enough.
Compared with when they arrived, the two people walked faster on their way back, with various questions hanging in their minds. They could not find the answers in this cave deep underground.
Dangerous creatures in front of you should be killed directly. Those that are not in the way can be ignored without even looking at them.
It took them a whole day to get from the entrance to the bottom of the pit, but it only took an hour to return from the bottom to the entrance.
They climbed onto the edge of the giant pit and entered the entrance passage. As the light at the entrance of the cave got closer and closer, the two of them rushed out of the cave.
Looking around, I didn't find anything different from usual. The giant eagles in the distance were still fighting with several Allosaurus; the Ancient God Pterosaur hidden under the branches softly expressed excitement to the two players.
…
"The system is down. There must be something different somewhere... Let's go home and take a look first!" Li Xiao immediately mounted the Ancient God Pterodactyl and pulled Zhou Qing up.
The ancient god pterosaur flapped its wings and slowly flew off the ground with the two players.
Li Xiao frowned, as if he had thought of something. He handed the reins to Zhou Qing, while he took out his telescope and looked towards the south!
Sure enough, the symptoms of system crashes and restarts are not only reflected in the implants.
Looking towards the south of Ark Island, you can see the giant obelisk hanging in the sky in the distance. It has no light at this moment and has become a huge piece of lifeless metal!
