This upgrade only unlocks saddles for two creatures.
Needless to say, the Star Tail Beast Saddle. With this saddle, Li Xiao can ride the Star Tail Beast. Moreover, the saddle has a huge package capacity and can hold a lot of stones at one time.
This saves Li Xiao from having to use the inventory to flip the collected stones...
As for the Diplodocus saddle, this is the first saddle for a large creature that Li Xiao has unlocked.
However, although Diplodocus is a large creature, its combat power is really pitiful. A few terror birds can bully it to death...
However, as a load-bearing dinosaur, Diplodocus's huge size has unique advantages.
The weight it can carry is far beyond that of Triceratops or Parasaurolophus!
Li Xiao knew that he was about to reach a period of vigorous development - whether it was building buildings or making equipment, a lot of materials were needed.
The large amount of materials collected must be transported by creatures capable of bearing loads.
It's time to tame this Diplodocus...
"But what's next..." Li Xiao lay on the bed and murmured, "Taking care of the red-haired giant eagle first is the focus of tomorrow's work."
It was early in the morning when Li Xiao came out of the cave. He had been tired all morning after not sleeping all day and all night, and the stimulant's stamina had just passed.
Drowsiness gradually came over, and Li Xiao lay on the bed, snoring loudly in an instant...
…
Li Xiao slept until the next morning.
After waking up, he walked directly to a shed against the wall of the yard.
After taking off his clothes, Li Xiao raised his hand and opened the stone faucet on his head.
The cool river water immediately flowed out of it, and Li Xiao washed his body like this.
This shack is exactly the bathroom Li Xiao built for himself.
Being able to take a bath so easily was the result of spending several days connecting the water pipes to the river last time.
Water for drinking and irrigating plants can be obtained by opening the water pipe, which is extremely convenient...
After taking a bath, Li Xiao walked to the incubation room carrying an iron basin filled with raw meat.
When I pushed open the door of the incubation room, what I saw was the soundly sleeping red-haired giant eagle and the struggling chick in its arms.
"Hey, it seems that too much anesthesia was given, and the giant eagle hasn't woken up yet!"
Stepping forward to free the little eagle from the giant eagle's arms, Li Xiao slapped the red-haired giant eagle on the head.
"Hey, it's time to get up and eat!"
The red-haired giant eagle was awakened by this slap and slowly opened its sleepy eyes.
What caught his eye was the bowl of raw meat handed over by Li Xiao...
It suddenly woke up and looked around for the figure of its child. When it saw that the eaglet was in Li Xiao's arms and safe and sound, it breathed a sigh of relief.
After casting a resentful glance at Li Xiao, it lowered its head and concentrated on the food in the basin.
Li Xiao was teasing the little eagle and playing with it, but his mind was always focused on the giant red-haired eagle eating.
Seeing that the pot of raw meat was about to reach the bottom, Li Xiao frowned.
"Why is there no notification indicating successful taming? Is my guess wrong?"
For so long, Li Xiao has tamed so many creatures that he can't count them on one hand.
He also gradually figured out some key points of the system's forced taming of creatures:
Forcibly taming creatures can improve the success rate in two ways.
One is to make creatures fear you and surrender to you. Creatures that are frightened are very easy to tame.
The second is to make the creature like you and become attached to you. The best way is to keep feeding it food. The feed it likes is the best choice...
In addition to feeding feed, cultivating relationships with wild creatures is also a way to tame them.
Although the initial friction between Li Xiao and the red-haired giant eagle was very fierce, and Li Xiao almost killed the giant eagle, the tense momentum of one man and one eagle has been much less since the birth of the little eagle.
After being fed by Li Xiao every day, the giant eagle became more and more friendly to Li Xiao.
Even if Li Xiao touches the giant eagle now, it will not attack Li Xiao again...
It stands to reason that Li Xiao can easily make the giant eagle his pet by giving him medicine to stun it once and feeding it again...
Unfortunately, Li Xiao still miscalculated, and now this giant eagle has not become its tame animal.
"Isn't it true that the system's criterion for successful domestication is based on emotions?"
Li Xiao, who thought he had found the rules of the system, no longer looked as confident as before.
"Do I have to make giant eagle feed to tame it? But the problem is that making giant eagle feed requires stegosaurus eggs. Do I have to tame a stegosaurus first?"
Li Xiao returned the young eagle to the giant eagle, took the iron basin, and left the incubation room with a disappointed look on his face.
"Okay, let's wait until we get the Stegosaurus egg... As for what I said yesterday about letting it out... Haha, I farted before I tamed it!"
"Next, there are still many things that need to be done!" Li Xiao opened the inventory and looked up. In the inventory, an artifact occupied an item slot.
"I sacrificed this artifact first, and the most important thing is to collect the rewards I got from exploring the cave!"
…
This is not the first time that an artifact has been sacrificed.
The place we want to go is still the green obelisk which is relatively close.
The place at the green obelisk posed almost no threat to Li Xiao now, so he did not bring any other dragons with him, but only rode the fastest Gallimimus and set off.
Traveling lightly and with the speed of the Gallimimus, Li Xiao judged that he should be able to return before dark.
Li Xiao was already familiar with the road to the green obelisk. One morning, he arrived at the green obelisk.
After walking into Halong and stepping onto the stone bridge, Li Xiao strode toward the metal platform.
Looking at the abyss under the stone bridge, Li Xiao still walked steadily, without any of the trepidation he did when he walked on the stone bridge for the first time.
After all, if you walk a lot, you will get used to it.
The classic saying goes well - the best way to overcome fear is to face it!
If a person who is afraid of heights is trapped in a high place for a period of time, his fear of heights will definitely be cured.
By the same token, if Li Xiao walked on this stone bridge a few more times, he would no longer be afraid of falling off at any time...
Skillfully placing the artifact on the sacrificial table, Li Xiao looked at the beam of light expectantly.
The familiar scene appeared again, and in the pillar of light, a treasure box slowly landed.
"Gods and gods from all over the world bless me and help me draw good drawings! Bless me! Bless me!"
Li Xiao clasped his hands together. Although he did not believe in God, he was as pious as a fanatical believer at this moment.
I don’t usually burn incense, but just improvise. I’m talking about people like him...
He reached out and opened the treasure chest, and several green and blue rays of light emitted.
Counting it down, there are five drawings in total, three green and two blue.
There was no orange legendary equipment, which made Li Xiao feel a little disappointed.
But when he thought about it, he felt relieved. The explosion rate of legendary equipment was so low that he was very lucky to have exploded a legendary bow...
The old habit is to look at the green excellent drawings first:
[Production requirements: metal ingot x20 wood x10]
[Remarks: Compared with modern automatic firearms, this simple pistol is just like a fire stick... But for you who are still in the cold weapon era, this is simply a product that transcends the times! 】
…
"Holy shit! Gun!" When Li Xiao saw that there was a gun in the drawing, he gasped in excitement.
As a modern person, Li Xiao understands the difference between hot weapons and cold weapons.
The unlocking of this blueprint marks that Li Xiao's technology tree on Ark Island has officially entered the era of thermal weapons!
"This is a gun! Although it is an antique-like single-action wheel, it is far inferior to a sword or a spear!"
Li Xiao's eyes are full of stars.
"As a man, who hasn't fantasized about having his own gun when he was young!"
With this weapon, Li Xiao's combat power will definitely be greatly improved!
In the midst of excitement, Li Xiao suddenly noticed something was wrong——
I... don't seem to have bullet blueprints...
"Holy crap! Isn't this a lie?!"
Li Xiao reacted like a basin of cold water poured over his head!
"There is a gun but no bullets! That's awesome!"
Li Xiao raised his head and raised his straight middle finger to the sky. He already felt that the world was full of malice towards him...
Without the bullet blueprint, the pistol blueprint would be useless, which made Li Xiao very miserable.
The only consolation is that in addition to the pistol blueprints, there are also two carapace armor blueprints.
Although he still lacks carapace gloves and carapace shoes and cannot make up a complete carapace armor suit, with these two items, Li Xiao's defense power is basically enough.
"It's heaven and hell for a while!"
Enduring the awkwardness in his heart, Li Xiao looked at the remaining two epic drawings:
【Crossbow(Epic)】【Ghillie Suit Pants(Epic)】
There are two blueprints, the crossbow is very good, the ghillie suit is also okay, overall it’s pretty good.
The danger of this central cave is much higher than that of the southern cave, and the blueprints obtained after sacrificing artifacts are also much more advanced.
And most of them are blueprints that Li Xiao has not yet unlocked.
Li Xiao’s two perseverance explorations are not in vain.
However, these blueprints are not much higher than Li Xiao's. I am afraid that if he upgrades to two or three levels, Li Xiao will unlock the basic original-level blueprints of this equipment.
After getting off the platform, Li Xiao rode the Gallimimus towards the courtyard of the central island...
Like a rooster, it was flying very fast, but Li Xiao on its back had dull eyes and a pout.
He was still worried about the exquisite blueprint of a simple pistol.
"Mad, if you have a gun but no bullets, you might as well not give it to me..."
…
Early the next morning, Li Xiao took down the finished carapace armor pants and helmet from the workbench.
With his shirt, trousers and helmet all put on, Li Xiao led all the fighting creatures out of the yard.
Today, he is going out to tame a Diplodocus.
As for the creature Diplodocus, Li Xiao found no trace of it in the eastern part of the central island.
However, he saw several Diplodocus figures when he explored the western part of the Central Island last time, so Li Xiao planned to go to the western part of the Central Island to tame a Diplodocus.
The western part of the central island is not low in danger, but now that Li Xiao is wearing a carapace suit, he has some ability to protect himself.
Moreover, except for the injured Big Meow and Er Meow, Li Xiao brought out all the combat power he could bring——
Velociraptor, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, and Star-Tailed Beast protected Li Xiao to the extreme.
Once they encounter a dangerous creature, these tame animals will rush forward without saying a word...
Taken together, these creatures would probably make even the Allosaurus stay away, which was why Li Xiao dared to head west.
However, there are two slow-moving creatures, Triceratops and Ankylosaurus, in the team, so the overall speed of the team cannot be increased.
This made Li Xiao, who was used to moving quickly, very uncomfortable.
He always rides a creature like a velociraptor or a triceratops. This is the first time he rides a slow-moving triceratops.
However, sitting on the thick back of the Triceratops, Li Xiao still felt an indescribable sense of security.
