After putting on a set of coarse clothes, Li Xiao took out the bat from the inventory.
His next goal is to tame a few pets for self-defense.
Without unlocking the tranquilizer arrow, Li Xiao's only way to subdue a creature is to knock it unconscious with a stick, so creatures that are too dangerous are not considered. There are not many creatures that can be easily knocked unconscious with a stick, and most of them are non-aggressive herbivores.
.
But there is one animal that is most suitable for Li Xiao now-Dilophosaurus!
Although Li Xiao was bitten to death by this creature for the first time, from the fact that Li Xiao was seriously injured and still killed it, it can be seen that this small carnivore is not dangerous in comparison. If his sight was not blocked, Li Xiao would be
You will definitely not be killed by this thing.
Dilophosaurus is widely distributed on the island and can be found in most places. Li Xiao set out to the south and looked for Dilophosaurus in the small plains where there were more herbivores...
While walking, Li Xiao observed the creatures on the plain.
"The horse-sized one is Parasaurolophus. This harmless herbivore is also widely distributed on the island. Once attacked, it will run away and is difficult to catch."
"There are three spikes on the bone plate. The tank-like dinosaur is Triceratops. Although this thing is herbivorous, it is very aggressive and its defense is ridiculously high. You better not try to kill yourself!"
"The one that looks like a super-large turtle is a freshwater carbon turtle. It moves slowly and is easy to tame. You can consider taming one yourself, but this thing is just a human shield with super high defense, so I'd better wait."
After searching for a while, Li Xiao finally saw his target—a red Dilophosaurus chasing the dodo!
The Dilophosaurus quickly caught up with the Dodo in front and bit the latter's neck in one bite. Its sharp teeth easily tore open the Dodo's flesh and blood. The Dilophosaurus enjoyed a delicious meal...
Quietly, Li Xiao bent his body and touched the Dilophosaurus.
Unfortunately, the Dilophosaurus was very alert and discovered Li Xiao when Li Xiao was still about ten meters away. In an instant, it stopped what it was saying and turned around to face Li Xiao. The bone spurs on its neck were fierce.
The ground spread out, forming two meat fans on both sides of its head - it was showing its intimidation to Li Xiao!
Seeing that the stealth failed, Li Xiao simply changed from squatting to standing upright, took steps and rushed towards the Dilophosaurus!
The Dilophosaurus' throat squirmed, and when it opened its mouth, a ball of dark green mucus flew straight to Li Xiao's face - it was the unique skill of this creature!
How could Li Xiao, who had suffered a loss once, be attacked again? He bent down sharply before the slime approached, and he dodged the Dilophosaurus' slime attack, but he still rushed over without stopping!
With quick steps, Li Xiao jumped up two or three meters away from the Dilophosaurus, and headed straight for the latter's head with the bat in his hand!
A series of movements sounded slow, but in fact they only took a second or two. Before the Dilophosaurus could react after spitting out mucus, he was hit on the head by Li Xiao with a bat!
As the nerve center of the body, the head is the terminal for controlling the body. If you want to make it lose resistance, it is easiest to hit it on the head.
In order to prevent accidents, Li Xiao used all his strength this time, fearing that he would not be able to knock it out.
Fortunately, this was a wooden stick. If it had been an axe, the Dilophosaurus head would have been split in two!
After the Dilophosaurus was hit on the head, it staggered like a drunken man. After taking a few steps, it fell to the ground and could not stand up.
"It's done!"
Seeing that the Dilophosaurus lost its ability to resist, Li Xiao quickly tied it up with a rope made of grass fiber.
After tying the limbs of the Dilophosaurus, Li Xiao sat on a stone beside him.
Just as he was about to rest and wait for the Dilophosaurus to wake up, Li Xiao felt a little uneasy as he looked at the Dilophosaurus.
"What if it wakes up and breaks free of the rope? No, tie more rope!"
So he tied another rope tightly around the limbs of the Dilophosaurus, and then sat back on the stone again.
Staring at the Dilophosaurus in front of him, Li Xiao was still a little uneasy.
"What if its tail moves around? No, tie up the tail too!"
Li Xiao stepped forward again and his tail was tied...
"What if it sticks out its head and bites me when I feed it? No, tie up the neck too!"
So the neck was also tied...
It was also the first time for Li Xiao to do this kind of thing. He was afraid that the Dilophosaurus would break free, so he simply used all the ropes on his body and tied the Dilophosaurus into a zongzi-like shape, leaving only its head free.
He wiped the sweat from his head and sat back on the stone again.
"Now, there is absolutely no problem!"
…
The Dilophosaurus woke up and found that it was tied up. It tried to struggle, but unfortunately it couldn't even move...
After all, Li Xiao’s crazy binding is real!
Li Xiao took out a piece of raw meat from the inventory and handed it to its mouth with a smile.
"Eat."
Dilophosaurus: "..."
The Dilophosaurus, who was in panic after being attacked, was confused by Li Xiao's actions, and his simple brain was completely unable to turn around.
The Dilophosaurus looked at Li Xiao with a bit more curiosity. It really couldn't understand why the creature that attacked it just now fed it food again?
But just eat the food that is put to his mouth - his mouth can still move normally anyway.
Within a few mouthfuls, a piece of raw meat entered the Dilophosaurus's belly, and Li Xiao fed it another piece...
Gradually, the fear in the Dilophosaurus's eyes disappeared, replaced by the body's instinctive desire for food!
Two pieces of raw meat were enough for a Dilophosaurus of its size. When the second piece of raw meat was eaten, it was finally satisfied.
A ray of light suddenly shot out from the implant on Li Xiao's arm, directly covering the Dilophosaurus. At the same time, a prompt sounded on the light screen and in Li Xiao's mind at the same time:
[The taming conditions are met, and the forced taming is successful!]
In the [Domesticated Creatures] column on the light screen, a 3D image of a Dilophosaurus appeared. It looked like the one on the ground. Below the image were the detailed attributes of this Dilophosaurus:
[Pet name: Unnamed]
[Biological species: Dilophosaurus]
[Life status: slightly injured]
[Gender: Female]
[Strongness: Thin]
[Melee damage: low]
[Damage resistance: extremely low]
[Dizziness/Anesthesia: None]
[Note: Although this thing eats meat, it can also bully dodos. Don’t expect it to be that powerful. But if you train hundreds of them - then you can dominate the novice area! 】
Thin? Li Xiao looked at the Dilophosaurus. Indeed, compared with the one that bit him to death, this one was obviously much smaller.
At this moment, when the Dilophosaurus looked at Li Xiao, the tension and alertness completely disappeared. Instead, its eyes were as loyal as a pet dog that had been raised for many years!
To tame this Dilophosaurus, systematic work is the key.
According to the urinary nature of Ark, which is just like the real world, it is absolutely impossible for this Dilophosaurus to regard itself as the master just because it feeds it a few pieces of meat, and it can only be tamed through forced taming through the system.
"The taming should be completed, we can untie the rope from its body." Li Xiao looked at the rice dumpling-like Dilophosaurus in front of him, his brows furrowed together.
"I guess it will take a while to figure it out."
After exhausting his efforts, biting his teeth and cutting with an axe... Li Xiao finally freed the Dilophosaurus from the rope...
Dilophosaurus: "..."
The Dilophosaurus stood there motionless, looking up at Li Xiao with two pairs of small eyes, like a well-trained soldier waiting for instructions from his superiors.
But Li Xiao was in trouble——
"The taming was successful, but the question is how do I control its actions and make it listen to you?"
In the Ark game, players can use the whistle menu to blow different whistles to control the actions of pets, but I don’t see the whistle menu in my implant.
Besides, I can’t whistle!
With big eyes staring at small eyes, Li Xiao made a try:
"Come here!" Li Xiao waved his hand to the Dilophosaurus.
Dilophosaurus seemed to understand Li Xiao's words and walked over.
"So simple?" Li Xiao knew that he had just fallen into a misunderstanding. It seemed that controlling pets was not complicated, and the system had simplified it.
"Go there!" Li Xiao pointed to the side, and the Dilophosaurus walked over immediately.
"Squat down!"
"Twirl around!"
…
"Dance!"
"Well, it seems this won't work..."
…
"As for the name, I'll call you 'Wanwan'!" Li Xiao remembered a certain game blogger who called his domesticated Dilophosaurus "Wanwan".
As soon as he finished speaking, the name of the Dilophosaurus in the taming pen changed:
[Pet name: Wanwan]
The Dilophosaurus on the side also jumped up and down excitedly...
Now that you can control your pet, the next step can begin!
What is the specific plan? The system just said it——
[If you train a few hundred animals - then you can dominate the novice area! 】
Pets like Dilophosaurus have very low attack and defense. The only advantage is that they are easy to tame. They are just two pieces of raw meat for one stick.
If the quality is not enough, quantity is needed. Once the quantity is large enough, it will be an earth-shaking change!
Imagine that there are hundreds of Dilophosaurus behind you. Even the powerful Emperor Crocodile can kill it in minutes!
But that's not realistic. How much raw meat would a few hundred Dilophosaurus eat in one meal? With so much training, you don't need to do anything else. You can just take them hunting and provide food every day to keep you busy.
And there must be an upper limit for the taming pen. If there is no upper limit, then you can tame all the creatures on the Ark Island? If the entire island is your own pet, is that okay?
Just have enough to protect yourself!
The afternoon's work is to train a few more Dilophosaurus!
With one Dilophosaurus in hand, the remaining ones were quickly acquired——
Just let "Wanwan" attract the "hatred" of a Dilophosaurus, and you can sap it from behind!
After taming them for the first time, the remaining ones became more proficient. After a while, "Wanwan", "Wanwan No. 1", "Wanwan No. 2, and No. 3." were all following behind Li Xiao.
These few "guards" are enough. Li Xiao has completed his plans for the afternoon, but it is still early and there is nothing to do when he goes back now.
Looking at a freshwater carbon turtle in the distance, he took out the wooden stick again, the purpose was self-evident.
"You guys stay here, I'll go up alone." Li Xiao ordered the group of "Wanwan" behind him. It didn't want these guys to bite the carbon turtle to death before it could be tamed.
As mentioned before, the Carbon Turtle has a flaw in its movement speed. Even though it is big, it can run a little faster than Li Xiao walks, so I can easily "kite" it.
This carbon turtle is obviously an adult. It is about the size of a car and stands at the same height as Li Xiao's chest.
The thick limbs support the huge body, the thick turtle shell is covered with diamond-shaped protrusions, and a small head on the long neck is lowering its head to eat the plants in front of it.
"Hey, big guy!" Li Xiao hit the carbon turtle's butt with a stick.
The pained carbon turtle turned around awkwardly, wanting to teach this creature a lesson for interrupting its own feeding.
It stretched its neck and opened its mouth to bite Li Xiao.
Looking at its powerful jaws, Li Xiao could imagine the scene of being bitten. He was afraid that even the strongest thigh bone in his body could be easily crushed!
Unfortunately, this guy's movements are too slow! Even his bite is slow!
Li Xiao knocked the giant turtle on the head as it slowly came up. Li Xiao took a few steps back, waiting for the carbon turtle to come forward.
Dragging its heavy body and flopping on its four legs, the giant turtle finally approached Li Xiao again. As a result, it was hit on the head again, and the hateful creature that hit him took a few steps back!
The giant turtle's eyes turned red, and it was completely irritated! It exploded with all its strength, and "charged" up again after looking at Li Xiao!
It's a pity...the speed is still so slow...
One stick at a time, Li Xiao was hitting and retreating, leading the carbon turtle to keep going in circles. He knew that the carbon turtle could not be knocked unconscious with just a few sticks, so he patiently repeated the above steps.
…
Ten minutes passed, and Li Xiao could hardly lift his hands. However, the carbon turtle showed no intention of fainting, so Li Xiao could only grit his teeth and persist.
"Crack!"
Another stick was thrown down, and Carbon Turtle still didn't faint, but the stick in his hand could no longer hold up and broke into two pieces. Li Xiao swung it away.
"This!" Li Xiao looked at the carbon turtle's head, then at the broken wooden bat in his hand, and couldn't help but smile...
He hammered it hundreds of times, each blow with great force, but even if the stick broke, it would be fine. Li Xiao gave up completely on taming this carbon turtle.
Obviously, he couldn't tame the giant turtle without anesthetizing the arrow.
Li Xiao stopped, but the giant turtle was not prepared to spare him. It kept running towards Li Xiao with its four thick legs!
"Young ones!"
Li Xiao threw away the broken wooden handle, clapped his hands, and called to the "little brothers" behind him: "Give it to me, let's eat turtle meat tonight!"
…
"This carbon turtle meat is much chewier than the meat of the water dragon." Li Xiao sat beside the campfire, surrounded by four "Wanwan" and a shivering dodo.
This poor dodo was so frightened that it experienced the most terrifying scene in its life - being chased and bitten by four Dilophosaurus!
When Li Xiaogang came back with four Dilophosaurus, the dodo was almost dismembered by four "Wanwan"!
Fortunately, Li Xiao stopped them in time and warned them not to eat the dodo, so the "Wanwans" gave up.
After patting the dodo on the head, Li Xiao fed it some berries. This dodo was very close to him, so it was better to keep it alive, just like having an alarm clock to wake him up every day.
As for taming it? Forget it, Li Xiao still wants to keep this taming slot to train the Tyrannosaurus rex...
Open the character attributes, and the experience column has also changed:
[Experience value: 70/80]
Taming and killing both give experience points. Taming a Dilophosaurus gives you 10 points, and killing a freshwater turtle gives you 30 experience points. You are only 10 experience points short of leveling up.
The wooden bat is broken, so I build another one, and the remaining 10 experience points are enough.
After clicking the button to make the bat, Li Xiao lay down in his sleeping bag. He was really tired from today's day's work.
