Li Xiao clenched his fists and his expression became more solemn. After several painful deaths, his mentality completely changed.
"This world is not a computer game for your own entertainment. This is a world full of dangers that can cause death at any time! Resurrection is your only support, but if you don't cherish this only support, then real death will follow.
Come!"
He was careless and completely put aside the mentality of treating the world as a game. In order to solve the mysteries of this world and return to the real world, he must make changes!
Thinking of this, Li Xiao regained his composure, stood up, and once again identified his location——
He has played the Ark game several times, and he is a personal radar.
Fortunately, this place is not far from the place where he died for the first time, just along the coast to the north! Looking at the sky, Li Xiao quickened his pace...
It was getting late, and Li Xiao also saw his destination: the beach under the cliff!
Li Xiao was eager to return here, not only for the supplies in the corpse inventory, but more importantly, this place was a pretty good place to build a shelter.
The cliffs on the east and west and the ocean are natural walls. I only need to put some barriers in the north and south. This "corridor" becomes a perfect fortress. Moreover, the south of this place is a small plain with many herbivores, and the north is my third
In the swamp area where three deaths occurred, there was no shortage of food and animal skins.
Especially the giant python that swallowed me. Once I have good equipment, I will definitely go find it!
From a distance, Li Xiao had already seen his own body on the beach! Thanks to this game, he actually saw "his" body!
There were two corpses in total, one was himself and the other was the Dilophosaurus he killed.
Li Xiao died three times, and each time he was resurrected within 24 hours, so three days had passed since he killed the Dilophosaurus. Fortunately, there were few carnivores in this place, so the two corpses could be preserved.
However, the temperature in this place was relatively high, and the two corpses were already smelly. Li Xiao walked towards his own corpse first.
Li Xiao is not a medical student, so things like human corpses are still a bit scary for him, but when he thought "this is his own corpse", the strange feeling in his heart disappeared instantly - his own corpse, there is
What is there to be afraid of?
Stepping forward to open the corpse's inventory, Li Xiao moved everything inside to the current inventory. As the last item was removed, cracks immediately appeared in the implants on the corpse, and the light dissipated.
It's obviously unusable.
After checking the items, there were all the stone axes, pickaxes and sundries, and there was also a bonfire. It seemed that he had made the bonfire with his own hands before he died.
There was a [Place] option under the bonfire icon. Li Xiao thought about it, and a shadow of the bonfire was projected from the implant. After selecting the location and thinking about it, the shadow turned into reality in the blink of an eye!
"Advanced, really advanced! It will take another few hundred years of development for the Earth to develop such technology! If this thing were on Earth, it would definitely be an epoch-making thing!"
…
The sky is getting dark and night is gradually falling. How should I spend this night?
With the bonfire in hand, he still needed another animal skin sleeping bag. Li Xiao turned his attention to the body of the Dilophosaurus——
Need animal skins? Isn’t this readily available?
If you look closely, you will see that the entire head of Dilophosaurus has become meat paste. It is Li Xiao's crazy masterpiece.
Looking back on his fierceness at that time, Li Xiao can only summarize it with one classic line:
When I go crazy, I’m even afraid of myself!
Now thinking about the scene at that time, Li Xiao felt that he didn't recognize himself. He had been a relatively gentle person since he was a child, but he showed his violence in this Ark World...
Use an ax to split the Dilophosaurus in half at the waist, and Li Xiao picks up a section.
receive!
The corpse in the hand disappears, and there are more items in the inventory.
[Animal skin x2]
【Carrion x2】
Sure enough, the stinky meat system of Dilophosaurus is just considered carrion and cannot be eaten at all.
The other half of the body was also collected——
[Animal skin x3]
【Carrion x2】
The entire Dilophosaurus only provided Li Xiao with five pieces of animal skins, which was still far from enough to make a sleeping bag. Li Xiao's eyes turned to another corpse - his own corpse.
"Forget it, let's think of something else." Li Xiao was a well-educated modern person after all, and he couldn't do anything with a human corpse as a material - even if it was his own corpse.
It’s better to bury “yourself”!
After dragging the body far away, Li Xiao dug a shallow pit with a stone pickaxe and buried the body in it...
The bare earthen bag seemed to have some flaws. Li Xiao patted his head, turned around, found a wooden board and inserted it in front of the tomb.
After using the tip of a stone pick to carve the words "Li Xiao's Tomb" on the wooden board, the whole tomb became much more pleasing to the eye.
"I buried myself with my own hands and put a monument on a tree. I must be the first person in history!"
After burying "himself", Li Xiao returned to the previous problem, not enough animal skins!
It seems that some creatures must be killed to obtain the hides...
Staggeringly, a water dragon beast walked past Li Xiao as if there was no one around.
A strange smile appeared on Li Xiao's face, and he took out the ax from the inventory...
[Animal skin x8]
【Raw meat x6】
Along with the death scream of the water dragon, there were enough animal skins to make sleeping bags and dinner was ready.
After several consecutive deaths, Li Xiao fully understood the cruelty of Ark Island. In this life-and-death world, he must not be soft-hearted. The appearance of the water dragon beast is indeed cute, but what is the use of being cute? How can there be a real meal of meat!
Because of my soft-heartedness, I didn't make the sleeping bag early, which resulted in my being randomly resurrected. But now, I won't make this mistake anymore!
The sky has completely darkened, and Ark Island is cold and dangerous at night. It is best for Li Xiao to stay by the bonfire.
The bonfire has already been set up, and now the question is how to light it. In the game, it is simple, just press the light option, but the problem is that you are not playing a game!
According to the real nature of urine in this world, 80% of the time you need to ignite it yourself.
Drilling wood to make fire? It's too laborious. Li Xiao thought of a way. He took out two pieces of flint from the inventory.
The left and right hands collided suddenly, and some sparks flew out.
It seems this method works!
The two pieces of flint collided again, and the flying sparks fell on the flammable materials in the bonfire, followed by a little smoke, and gradually, the flames ignited.
Li Xiao took a few more pieces of wood from the inventory and added them in. Suddenly, the warmth of the bonfire dispelled the chill of the night...
In the production column, white hands were sewing the sleeping bag stitch by stitch, and it looked like it would take a while to finish.
Li Xiao took a piece of raw meat, put it on a wooden stick, and grilled it on the campfire. While flipping it from time to time, he squeezed berry juice on it. Without condiments, he could only do this...
Staring at the meat on the campfire, Li Xiao's thoughts flew far away——
Although it has been more than three days since I came here, I have been resurrecting most of the time. I am afraid that one day is not enough time to truly feel.
For Li Xiao’s memory:
In the morning, I was shocked while playing games...
At noon, I came to this strange world...
One afternoon, I died three times...
Until now, I am roasting food by the campfire...
What I experienced in less than one day was richer than what I have experienced in more than twenty years!
While he was thinking wildly, a dodo appeared in Li Xiao's sight——
The messy feathers, tired look, the missing tail and the small wounds exposed under the feathers all indicate that this dodo has just escaped from a predator.
Judging from its appearance, it must be hungry and tired...
I saw the dodo walking to the side of the mountain wall and curling up, looking at Li Xiao with tired eyes.
This dodo looked familiar. Li Xiao thought about it for a while and suddenly realized that this was not the dodo that pecked him awake when he first arrived in the Arkworld?
Li Xiao compared the Dodo in his memory - blue body, purple head, and a bunch of unexpected white feathers on the top of the head.
that's it!
Compared with the splendor back then, the dodo now looked extremely miserable.
Recalling that he met it here three days ago, Li Xiao knew for sure that the bottom of the cliff was its lair.
But there were no other dodos around, and it was alone. Li Xiao was curious about its peers. Where was its family?
After thinking about it for a moment, the answer comes to mind. It is nothing more than being eaten by a predator...
"We are all fallen people from the end of the world!" Li Xiao couldn't help but feel bitter when he saw the dodo's appearance. He took out some berries from the inventory and threw them in front of it.
The dodo requires force to tame. It is probably the easiest creature to tame on Ark Island. You can knock it out with just one punch to the head.
The problem is that this thing has no offensive power at all. It can neither pick nor carry weight. Li Xiao has no interest in taming it. Feeding it fruit is just out of sympathy for the two of them.
The dodo was obviously very hungry, and it ate up all the berries in a few mouthfuls. Li Xiao threw some more to it. By now, the meat that Li Xiao had grilled was almost done, and Li Xiao also started to wolf down the berries.
One person and one bird enjoy the rare food and clothing...
After eating a piece of barbecue, my empty stomach felt a long-lost satisfaction, and the implant on my arm also flashed - it seemed that the sleeping bag was ready.
Taking out the sleeping bag, Li Xiao got in, and his whole body was immediately filled with warmth. Touching the soft and thick sleeping bag, Li Xiao found it hard to believe that this thing was just bloody animal skin. Then he thought of the handy and reliable stone pick and stone axe, and sure enough -
—Produced from scratch, it must be a high-quality product!
The dodo bird on the side also had its stomach full. It leaned on the stone nearby and curled its head into its feathers in a strange posture, forming a ball of feathers. It seemed that it was also ready to rest.
There is no moon in the Arkworld, but there are still countless stars in the sky.
Lying in the sleeping bag, Li Xiao was completely sleepless. Looking at the starry sky, a little sadness filled his heart...
"Dad, Mom, can I still see you?"
"Earth, can I still go back?"
How to return to the original world, Li Xiao has no clue in his mind.
I'm afraid, I have to stay on this Ark Island for a while.
It’s too scary to imagine that I have to spend the rest of my life on this island!
I don't know if there are other "players" on this island now. If not...
Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he thought that he would be the only one living on this island in the future.
A feeling called loneliness sprouted from the bottom of his heart...
In fact, death is not the most terrifying thing, loneliness is.
This man who had never cried in the face of death shed two lines of tears at this moment...
The low sobbing sound disturbed the dodo bird at the side. It raised its head blankly and saw Li Xiao in the sleeping bag.
Twisting forward, the dodo huddled up next to the sleeping bag and gently leaned on Li Xiao's sleeping bag.
It was late at night, and the burning bonfire made a low crackling sound from time to time.
Under the starry sky, one person and one bird gradually fell into sleep...
————
"It would be great to wake up and find myself still in the dormitory!" Li Xiao thought.
Unfortunately, the dodo pecking at his head broke Li Xiao's fantasy, and Li Xiao was woken up by it just after dawn.
Li Xiao lifted the Dodo by its neck and threw it away. Li Xiao was completely sleepless and started thinking about today's plan.
"If I remember correctly, you can unlock the blueprints for clothes at level three." Li Xiao looked at his almost naked body and muttered.
The dodo was irritated by Li Xiao. It believed that Li Xiao's action of grabbing its neck and throwing it away was a great insult to it!
It put on its most ferocious posture - its two small short wings spread out, its neck stretched out, its claws digging hard at the ground, and it came towards Li Xiao. It wanted to make this hateful guy pay the price!
"Although the novice commoner's defense is not high, it is enough to tame several self-defense pets!" Li Xiao thought, and kicked the dodo aside with a raised foot.
Then the dodo swoops in again...
Li Xiao kicked it away again...
Rush up...kick away...
Rush up...kick away...
…
The dodo was famous for its stupidity, and Li Xiao saw it this time. Seeing it collapse on the ground exhausted, Li Xiao was speechless...
Li Xiao took out the made [Wooden Bat] from the inventory and looked at it:
The shape is similar to a baseball bat, except that it is shorter and can be easily swung with one hand. The handle is also wrapped with grass fiber several times, making it smooth and non-slip when swung.
At this moment, his experience value has reached [20/50]. The experience value of the sleeping bag and bat are both 10 points, and he is still far from being upgraded.
It seems that the remaining experience points can only be obtained by collecting materials.
"Upgrade to level three first." Li Xiao clarified the morning's task...
Dig rocks... chop wood... roll fiber berries... roast a piece of raw meat when you're hungry, eat some berries when you're thirsty...
One morning, Li Xiao stuffed a boulder as tall as a person into the inventory, chopped down a few palm trees at the bottom of the cliff, and gathered up all the ferns as far as the eye could see...
When he remembered the upgrade prompt, Li Xiao sat down on the ground.
"Tired! Really tired!"
This is not the game Ark, where players can work indefinitely day and night. In this real Ark world, work is not an easy task!
But after I upgraded, my inventory is full of supplies, so it’s worth the effort!
In the [Item] column, several grids are already occupied:
