Bubbles kept popping up from Li Xiao's mouth, and his face turned red from holding back.
He was so nervous that he lost his temper just now. He couldn't breathe in the water. Li Xiao was almost suffocated!
The ichthyosaur under his crotch was still swimming frantically towards the coast, not even noticing the strange thing about Li Xiao on his back.
At the bottom of the water, Li Xiao could not use words to command the ichthyosaur. He could only slap the ichthyosaur desperately, trying to make it swim to the sea surface first.
However, the speed of the manta ray behind was too fast, and it came to the side of the ichthyosaur in a blink of an eye. This made the ichthyosaur even more frightened, and it only wanted to take Li Xiao away from here!
Li Xiao's consciousness gradually blurred and his vision became darker and darker. He was already severely hypoxic!
The instinct of survival subconsciously made him hold on to the fish-dragon saddle tightly...
finally--
The water splashed everywhere, and figures of a man and a fish and dragon jumped out of the water and landed on the beach.
This fish dragon was so fast that it took Li Xiao directly onto the beach.
"vomit!"
A large mouthful of seawater gushes out of Li Xiao's mouth, followed by constant retching.
After vomiting all the seawater in his belly, Li Xiao coughed violently again——
Almost! Just a little bit away from being completely drowned in the sea!
A tearing pain came from his chest, and Li Xiao understood that his lungs were injured due to choking on the water.
But now is not the time to worry about this. There are things that Li Xiao needs to worry about more——
The ichthyosaur washed up on the beach and ran aground. It couldn't breathe on land and was about to suffocate!
It lay paralyzed on the beach, twisting its body continuously, trying to return to the water.
But without the buoyancy of water, its huge size would be unable to move on its own.
Li Xiao rushed forward to help Yulong.
Li Xiao pushed the fish dragon with his hands and kicked out deep ravines in the sand with his feet.
But this ichthyosaur weighs almost half a ton, how can Li Xiao push it alone?
Even though he leaned his back against the ichthyosaur and pushed his feet on the ground, the ichthyosaur's body remained motionless.
"No! I can't push it!"
Standing up, Li Xiao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "What should I do? What should I do?"
Looking around, Li Xiao saw a few velociraptors he had left on the shore and quickly called them over.
"Listen to my command, one, two, three!"
Several velociraptors pushed it with their heads, and Li Xiao pushed it with his back, working together to rescue the ichthyosaur.
Unfortunately, the strength of the Velociraptor is also too small, and several of them together cannot push this heavy ichthyosaur.
Hard push is not the answer! Li Xiao quickly changed his strategy.
"Dig! Dig a hole under its head that can put its head in!" he commanded a velociraptor.
The Velociraptor is not very strong, but it is very good at digging out the sand. In the blink of an eye, the sand and gravel are flying...
The bunker was formed, and Li Xiao held the fish dragon's head inside.
Then he immediately ran to the beach, filled the water bottle in his inventory with sea water, then ran back to the fish dragon and poured the sea water into the small pit.
This was repeated three or four times, until the small pit was filled with sea water.
The ichthyosaur with its head submerged in the puddle can finally breathe!
Li Xiao poured a bottle of water into the sand pit again and stopped, his brows still frowning.
Although the ichthyosaur can breathe, this is a temporary measure after all, and we still have to find a way to get it back into the sea.
He looked at the velociraptor that was disgraced from digging in the sand, then looked at the beach at his feet, and got an idea.
"Xuns! Let's dig a big hole this time!"
This time Li Xiao commanded all the raptors and dug a deep hole beside the ichthyosaur.
Then, Li Xiao directed the raptors to connect the sand pit with the ocean and let the sea water flow into the pit.
Finally, dig out the sand under the ichthyosaur and let it roll down into the deep pit filled with sea water.
"call--"
Li Xiao let out a long breath and felt relieved. Now the fish and dragon were no longer in danger.
After a lot of work, Li Xiao and the raptors stopped and prepared to take a rest.
In a while, the connection between the sand pit and the ocean will have to be expanded to allow fish and dragons to swim back into the sea.
This is no small project!
…
Seeing Yulongbai's free and joyful expression in the sea, Li Xiao smiled.
The crude oil collected during this trip is enough for the future, and it's time for me to go back.
It's time to say goodbye to Bai Ge.
Li Xiao stood in the chest-deep water and touched the big smooth head of the fish dragon.
"The courtyard is on the central island. I can't take you back. You can only stay here." Li Xiao said.
Yu Longbai finally understood Li Xiao's words, and put his head on his hand, whimpering in a low voice.
"Protect yourself in the sea and be careful of dangerous creatures." Li Xiao told Bai Gei.
He was also a little reluctant to leave this very spiritual creature that had been with him for two days.
But Li Xiao doesn't have the strength to develop in the ocean yet, and he can't take it with him, so he can only release the fish and dragon for nothing...
Finally, under Yulongbai's reluctant eyes, Li Xiao rode away on the Velociraptor.
…
Pushing open the courtyard door of the central island, Li Xiao saw a green figure whizzing past him.
The speed is too fast to see clearly.
With such speed, it must be a Gallimimus!
In the past few days when Li Xiao was away, this untamed Gallimimus was having fun in the yard.
As soon as Li Xiao took a step forward, he stepped on a pile of sticky excrement.
No need to guess, it must have been the good thing done by the Gallimimus!
Looking around the yard, the yard was covered with cakes like this under Li Xiao's feet.
Li Xiao looked at the rooster-like dragon fiercely, gritting his teeth.
He spoke through his teeth: "Little bastard, I'm going to teach you a lesson right away!"
After that, he returned to the studio and put the crude oil in the inventory into the drying box he had built.
Then add some fire starter powder and cooked meat, and wait for the cooked meat to turn into dried meat.
The production of feed is more complicated, and the more powerful the creature, the more difficult it is to make the feed required to tame it.
Li Xiao recalled the feed formula of Gallimimus——
"Fiber purple berries and water are necessary auxiliary materials, and the remaining main materials...are Dilodon eggs, lemons, and cooked meat jerky!"
As a veteran player of the Ark game, Li Xiao clearly remembers the feed formula for Gallimimus.
If you want to make Gallimimus feed, among the several main materials, cooked meat jerky is already being made, and now only Diplodon eggs and lemons are missing.
Although the lemons he planted have not yet produced fruit, Li Xiao can find wild ones in the wild, so this is not a problem.
The problem now is that there are no Diplodon eggs!
"If I had known, I would have tamed a Diplodon!" Recalling that he had encountered Diplodon several times, Li Xiao couldn't help but regret it.
But this is not a big problem. There are also many Diplodons on the central island. You can get them by just finding a Diplodon lair.
It just so happened that while the dried meat was being made, Li Xiao could go out and look for some pterosaur eggs.
The creature Diplodon, as mentioned earlier, is a very small flying creature. Most of these creatures live in forests with dense trees.
And this central island full of tall redwood trees is their paradise.
Their nests are usually in trees, so as long as Li Xiao climbs the tree, he has a high chance of finding the Diplodon's nest.
After leaving the yard, Li Xiao raised his head and looked up——
The lush green branches of the redwood covered the sky and the sun, and Li Xiao could see at a glance several Diplodon pterosaurs living among the branches.
He immediately called the pterosaur Xiaoyin and prepared to use it to climb up to the top of the tree.
The tall redwood trees were extremely thick, and the weather-beaten bark was full of rough pits. Li Xiao hugged the pterosaur's neck and headed towards the top of the tree.
The pterosaur flew upwards for nearly ten meters before approaching the canopy of the redwood tree.
"There! Go there!"
Li Xiao saw a nest at a glance and quickly directed the pterosaur to fly towards the nest among the branches.
"There are eggs!"
Li Xiao became excited when he saw several egg-sized eggs placed in the nest.
I didn’t expect that it would be so easy to find this Diplodon egg!
He directed the pterosaur to approach the nest and reach out to pick up the eggs.
A sharp and urgent cry suddenly sounded next to Li Xiao, which scared him so much that he almost broke the egg with his hands shaking.
But he saw a pterosaur the size of an eagle flying up towards Li Xiao's face!
After getting close, its sharp claws clawed at Li Xiao's face frantically...
Ten seconds later, Li Xiao held the pterosaur Xiaoyin's neck with one hand and slid a dead Diplodon pterosaur to the ground with the other hand.
The egg was obtained, but there were many bloodstains on his face, which completely disfigured him.
"Let's eat Diplodon stew tonight!" Li Xiao touched the scar on his face and grimaced in pain.
…
In the cooking pot, a pot of viscous liquid was bubbling.
Waves of fragrance hit his face, but Li Xiao burped with a bitter look on his face.
He really couldn't eat anymore!
What was in the pot was not the stewed Diplodon, but the Gallimimus feed made by Li Xiao.
Li Xiao just failed two pots and threw them away. Li Xiao felt it was a pity, so he ate them all himself.
Although Li Xiao knew how much to put in, he didn't have a specific production method, so he could only explore slowly.
Fortunately, I got a lot of Diplodon eggs and I was able to try them out a few more times.
That’s right, I can’t hold it anymore!
…
"It's done!" Li Xiao knew that he had succeeded as he watched the Gallimimus gulp down the cooked feed.
Sure enough, the taming success prompt sounded.
Touching the Gallimimus that became clingy, Li Xiao let out a sigh of relief.
"You are a foodie, but you have to let me make feed before you are willing to be tamed!"
Li Xiao turned around and returned to the studio. Not long after, he came out holding a finished Gallimimus saddle.
After installing the Gallimimus saddle on the Gallimimus' back, Li Xiao turned over and rode on it.
"Come on, let me feel your speed as the fastest creature on Ark Island!"
As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, the rooster rushed out toward the opened courtyard gate!
Gallimimus suddenly picked up speed, and Li Xiao almost fell backwards...
Li Xiao hurriedly knelt down and tightly grasped the reins of the Gallimimus.
Then came the wind blowing in my face!
The wind was so strong that it was difficult for Li Xiao to open his eyes and even find it difficult to breathe.
Reluctantly opening his eyes, Li Xiao saw the scenery on both sides flying back!
"This! This is too fast!"
The Gallimimus' footsteps were fast, and it ran out of the eastern part of the central island in the blink of an eye...
