In one afternoon, Li Xiao collected only enough stones to make three stone foundations.
Based on the efficiency of stone collection, it would take the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to build a residence.
Looks like it’s time to tame some supply-gathering worker dragons!
The first thing to tame is, of course, the star-tailed beast that can improve Li Xiao's efficiency in collecting stones.
Star-tailed beasts are not widely distributed on Ark Island, but coincidentally, the central island is where they are most abundant.
Early in the morning, Li Xiao started wandering around, looking for traces of the star-tailed beast.
From a distance, Li Xiao saw an earthy gray, round figure - it was the Star-Tailed Beast!
This star-tailed beast is a herbivore with a docile personality and will not actively attack other creatures.
Li Xiao approached it and looked at it carefully:
The shape of this star-tailed beast is somewhat like a turtle. It carries a spherical shell on its back. The shell has a few short bone spurs near its head. Its stubby head and limbs move slowly under the shell.
With.
The most distinctive thing is its tail, which is different from its limbs. Its tail is long and powerful, and there is a hammer-shaped bone ball at the end.
The whip-like tail swings the bone hammer, which is quite powerful!
Even a solid boulder has no resistance under this bone hammer...
If you want to tame the star-tailed beast, there is a very big problem——
Once it feels outmatched, it will retract its entire body into the shell on its back, leaving no trace of vulnerability.
Look at its thick carapace...well...Li Xiao's current attack power is simply unable to break through the defense.
In the game Ark, it will retract into its shell after its health drops to one-third of its health. I don’t know what the setting is like in the real Ark.
"Once it retracts into its shell, what should you do with it?"
Li Xiao looked at the wandering star-tailed beast in front of him, crossed his chest with his left hand, and touched his chin with his right hand as he began to think.
It had been a few months since he came to Ark Island, and his beard had already grown out of shape. Li Xiao tugged at his beard and came up with an idea:
"Give me a fulcrum and I will move the entire earth!"
——Archimedes
With a smile on his face, Li Xiao took out a bow with anesthesia arrows.
call out--
The arrow shot through the air, and the arrowhead coated with anesthetic pierced the star-tailed beast's body under its turtle shell.
This arrow immediately angered the star-tailed beast. It turned around and rushed towards Li Xiao, preparing to let this hateful creature taste the power of its bone hammer!
Unfortunately, the star-tailed beast's movement speed is as terrible as that of the slow-moving giant turtle.
Li Xiao stepped back, and the arrow in his hand hit the star-tailed beast again.
But the next second——
"Did you make a mistake? It's just retracted?!"
Li Xiao looked at the star-tailed beast that had completely turned into a ball, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and his balls hurt so much.
After all, he never expected that the star-tailed beast would give up just after he shot two arrows.
"Okay, that's all."
Li Xiao found a long piece of wood, stretched it under the star-tailed beast's turtle shell, and placed a stone underneath.
"The magical skill of mechanics - the principle of leverage!"
The star-tailed beast is not small in size, let alone heavy. Once it is retracted into its shell, all its weak parts are pressed tightly against the ground, leaving only a shell with extremely high defense exposed. Even the Tyrannosaurus Rex can't take it.
Method.
However, under this magical skill of mechanics, it still compromised and was turned upside down by Li Xiao.
It seems that this star-tailed beast is quite comfortable, with its head and limbs curled up, and its eyes still closed.
The influence of gravity caused it to react, and it opened its eyes, raised its head with a puzzled look, and saw Li Xiao's malicious smile.
"I'll let you... Oh shit!" The smile on Li Xiao's face immediately disappeared.
The star-tailed beast skillfully raised its tail, flicked it hard, and used inertia to flip its body back to its belly-down position.
Its head and limbs shrank again...
"Baby, I can't cure you anymore!" Li Xiao immediately put the long piece of wood under the turtle's shell again and repeated the steps just now.
The turned star-tailed beast swung its tail again and turned over on its own.
Li Xiao continued to pry...
The star-tailed beast continues to throw...
After a few rounds like this...
Li Xiao was leaning on a long piece of wood, breathing heavily. He really had no strength!
You must know that this star-tailed beast is not a small animal. Even if you use magical skills, it will still take a lot of effort to pry it over.
On the other hand, Star-tailed Beast only needs to flick its tail every time it turns over, which doesn't take much effort at all...
The feud between Li Xiao and this star-tailed beast ended in Li Xiao's complete defeat.
Li Xiao's brows knitted together as he leaned on the long tree, but when his eyes saw the round turtle shell of the star-tailed beast, his brows relaxed again!
"There is a way!"
Li Xiao stepped forward and dug a small pit with a stone pickaxe on the side of the star-tailed beast.
Then he stood on the other side and used the long wood to flip the star-tailed beast over again...
The pit is not big, and the shell of the star-tailed beast is firmly embedded in it.
The star-tailed beast opened its eyes again, glanced at Li Xiao disdainfully, and swung its tail again.
Li Xiao was filled with gloating.
The star-tailed beast's tail swung down heavily, but its heavy turtle shell didn't react at all...
It swung its tail again, but it was still useless. The turtle shell was still firmly embedded in the pit...
At this moment, the star-tailed beast became anxious. It used its hands and feet, and even swung its tail, trying to escape from the obstacles set by Li Xiao.
Unfortunately, it is still useless!
"Baby, are you still fighting with me?!" Li Xiao smiled and took out the anesthesia bow and arrow, aiming at the star-tailed beast.

[Special skill: Rolling (curl your body into a ball and roll forward quickly.)]
[Remarks: It’s it, it’s it, it’s our little quarrying expert, the Star-Tailed Beast! (Friendly reminder: Don’t be fooled by its cute appearance! Its lethality is quite high! Stones can prove it.
!!)】
The saddle of the Star-Tailed Beast requires more than thirty levels to unlock, and it seems impossible to ride it now.
However, there is no restriction on helping Li Xiao collect stones.
Li Xiao touched the round head of the star-tailed beast, pointed at a stone and said: "Go, shit, help me smash that stone!"
What Li Xiao was referring to was a huge stone that was as tall as a person. If he had collected it by himself, it would have taken him two days of hard work to collect it.
With the Star Tail Beast Shit Dan, the situation is different!
Shitdan walked leisurely to the boulder and stopped.
The tail on its butt stopped and no longer flicked gently...
Gradually, its eyes changed!
The next moment, the star-tailed beast turned its body instantly and hit the rock with its tail like a meteor hammer!
Click!
The bone hammer at the end of the tail hit the boulder with overwhelming force, and the loud sound shook Li Xiao's heart.
I saw cracks appearing on the boulder starting from the contact point of the bone hammer!
"This! This!!" Li Xiao was a little incoherent, "What if this hits me?! Oh my God!"
While Li Xiao was talking to himself, the star-tailed beast hit the stone with another bone hammer!
With this hammering, the boulder suddenly cracked and scattered into pieces of rubble...
Seeing that the work was completed, Shidan slowly walked back to Li Xiao.
It raised its head, its face full of expressions asking for credit from Li Xiao...
Li Xiao leaned down, picked up its tail and examined it carefully.
"How did your tail grow?"
After stroking the uninjured tail of the star-tailed beast and looking at the pile of broken stones, Li Xiao was really shocked.
With just two flicks of the tail, a boulder as tall as a person turned into rubble! Such efficiency...
This star-tailed beast is indeed a treasure!
Without saying a word, Li Xiao collected the rubble from the ground into the inventory, and the white hands in the inventory were also making stone buildings non-stop.
With this kind of quarrying god, Li Xiao's construction speed accelerated more than ten times. On the afternoon of the third day, a complete stone courtyard was built.
The yard is surrounded by a large circle according to the topography and trees, and there are even a few thick redwoods in it.
The courtyard wall has two layers, one is the outermost barrier, and the other is the stone courtyard wall. These two layers of protection provide great security to the courtyard.
The yard is quite large, so we simply built gates in the east and west directions.
In the courtyard, a large stone house rose from the ground, occupying the central area of the courtyard.
Different from the wooden houses on the small plain, the house designed by Li Xiao this time is much more convenient.
He simply opened up two walls of the work area of the house, turning the work area into a semi-open air style.
The area and height of the work area have also increased a lot, and the purpose of this is Li Xiao's preparation for the future.
Although the number of slots in your inventory will increase by one every few levels, it is still limited in use.
In the future, large amounts of heavy materials will need to be transported by dinosaurs that can bear heavy loads.
To transfer materials from the dinosaur to the workbench or storage box, you have to park the dinosaur outside the door and use the few grids in the inventory to move around.
Extremely troublesome!
Simply park the dinosaur loaded with materials to the work area, so that the materials can be transferred directly face to face.
Extremely convenient!
The bedroom and kitchen are adjacent to the work area and are interconnected with the work area, and the two are also interconnected with each other.
The height of the bedroom and kitchen was not high, and there was a big gap with the roof of the work area. Without resting on it, Li Xiao simply built a second floor on top.
This second floor can be used to store materials that are not commonly used, or it can be used as an exhibition room to display the trophies obtained by Li Xiao.
After placing the trophy rack on the wall, Li Xiao hung the head of the elite raptor on it.
"Well, not bad, it feels a bit like a Western-style castle exhibition room." Li Xiao looked at the head of this elite raptor and said, "But the loot is a little short..."
Going down the stone spiral staircase is the work area. The layout of the work area also has a lot of knowledge.
Centered on the workbench, there is a large storage box on the left hand side, which is extremely convenient for Li Xiao to access materials when making.
Next to the storage box are three furnaces arranged together to facilitate placing the smelted metal ingots into the storage box.
As for why there are three furnaces, the reason is simple - this furnace does not make iron very fast, and adding more furnaces can greatly improve the efficiency of the furnace.
