Chapter 7 Stormy Night

[Player name: Li Xiao]

[Level: 4 (Experience value: 0/140)]

Unlock blueprints:

[Name: Spear (original)]

[Damage: low]

[Durability: extremely low]

[Production requirements: flint x1 wood x2]

[Remarks: Strictly speaking, the spear is the first weapon made by humans. It is also the most convenient weapon. If you encounter any danger, you only need to stab it! (If it is too far, you can throw the spear)]



[Name: Leather water bag]

[Durability: Low]

[Making requirements: animal skin x3 fiber x3]

[Note: Eat berries to quench your thirst? Stop making trouble, you need a water bag! 】



[Name: Thatched grass base]

[Durability: extremely low]

[Making requirements: thatch x20, wood x6, fiber x15]

[Note: Fed up with living in the open? Oh, young man, you need to build yourself a big villa! To build a villa, let’s start with the foundation! 】



The unlocking of the spear greatly strengthens Li Xiao's attack power.

This is the first weapon in the strict sense. Stone axes, pickaxes, and wooden clubs are all tools with low attack power, and they are not as far as the attack range of a spear.

As for the water bag, Li Xiao quickly asked him to make one from scratch. He could only eat berries to quench his thirst these days, which was really uncomfortable. With this thing, the problem of drinking water would be easily solved.

The foundation is essential for building a house, but thatched buildings are too easy to damage. It is better to wait until you unlock the wooden building and build a wooden house.

With weapons, your upgrade speed will be much faster, and you will get more experience from killing animals than collecting materials.

If I remember correctly, the blueprints to be unlocked at the next level must be thatched walls, thatched doors and windows, etc. It will not improve me much now. It seems that I need to accumulate more experience to upgrade to two levels in a row.

After the water bag was built, Li Xiao made six more spears in succession - once these things were thrown and missed, they would become consumables, so it was always a good idea to prepare a few more spears.

After the spear was built, Li Xiao discovered the difference——

The first spear takes ten minutes to make, and the sixth one only takes seven minutes to make.

It seems that practice makes perfect even with bare hands, and the production speed can increase with the number of productions. Li Xiao made another spear——

Sure enough, the countdown for making items was once again shortened by dozens of seconds.



The main problem now is upgrading. The more equipment you have, the more equipment you can craft in the crafting column.

How to upgrade?

As a master player of the Ark game, Li Xiao knows how to level up quickly.

He led four "Wanwan" brothers and rushed towards the small plain...

There is a small plain near the sea at the east end of the beautiful Ark Island. It is stable and peaceful, and it is almost rare to see dangerous carnivores. These herbivores live happily here...

Suddenly one day, a demon came here. He burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. In just one day, corpse marks were everywhere on the peaceful plain...

Except for the triceratops, which seems not to be trifled with, all other creatures are the targets of this demon!

The dinosaurs who lost their lovers, friends, wives and daughters cursed and resented the devil, but they could not stop the devil from killing at all...



Well, these are all imagined by Li Xiao. He just led "Wanwan" to hunt the dinosaurs on the small plain. Those dinosaurs didn't have so much mental activity...

As long as he doesn't provoke the dangerous Triceratops, all the other creatures on the plain will be easy targets for Li Xiao to bully.

Four Dilophosaurus were the main force, and Li Xiao was on the side using his spear to steal damage. It was quite efficient to kill these unresisting dinosaurs...

The upgrade prompt quickly came to mind, and Li Xiao took the time to look at the screen:

[Level: 5 (Experience: 45/200)]

New drawings:

[Thatched wall] [Thatched roof] [Thatched door frame] [Thatched door] [Simple bed]

There is no need to look further at thatched buildings. Li Xiao jumps directly to the last item:

[Name: Simple bed]

[Durability: Medium]

[Production requirements: wood x15, thatch x40, fiber x30, animal skin x15]

[Note: Thatch mattress, animal skin quilt, oh my God, this is much more comfortable than that simple sleeping bag! (P.S. The bed can serve as a permanent resurrection marker)]

As expected by Li Xiao, this upgrade did not change much the current situation with Li Xiao, so he continued his work——

Kill monsters and gain experience...

Time flew by and it was afternoon in the blink of an eye.

One day, red blood stains could be seen everywhere in the small plain (bodies were put into the inventory), and the number of creatures inside also decreased sharply.

Li Xiao's experience increased rapidly, reaching [190/200].

Li Xiao, who was about to level up again in one breath, stopped killing and looked up at the sky——

The sky that was clear just now is now covered with dark clouds, and the dark clouds seem to be so heavy that people can't breathe.

The strength of the wind gradually increased, making the trees and grass nearby rustle.

Depressing, dark...

It looks like a storm is coming!

"Children, get out!" Li Xiao called to the "Wanwans" and hurried back. He realized that he didn't have a decent shelter from the rain.

Gradually, the wind stopped, and the whole world seemed to become quiet, but Li Xiao's footsteps did not stop. He knew that this was the trace of tranquility before the storm...

His steps are getting faster and faster, because some raindrops have fallen on him!

He built a thatched building in the crafting bay - there was no shelter from the rain around him, so he could only use thatched building to build himself a shelter from the rain.

In less than a moment, large drops of rain began to fall, and in an instant it turned into a heavy downpour. The climate on Ark Island was changeable, and Li Xiao felt it deeply now.

The bottom of the cliff was not far in front of him, but what frightened Li Xiao was——

The originally calm sea surface was now filled with wind and waves. Before your eyes, a wave of more than five meters high hit the beach at the bottom of the cliff unstoppably!

The seven or eight meter high cliff blocks the waves, and all the sea water flows back into the sea, taking away everything on the beach.

"My sleeping bag and bonfire!" Li Xiao said anxiously, looking at the clean washed beach.

But at the same time, he also felt a little lucky in his heart——

Fortunately, I haven't built a house at the bottom of the cliff, otherwise I would have lost more than a sleeping bag and a bonfire...

Using the beach as a refuge reduced many dangers, but he ignored the threat of waves! In such a rainy day, such huge waves can easily sweep him into the sea, and the ocean is the most dangerous thing about Ark Island.

place!

There are huge ancient sharks, fast-moving manta rays, and deep-sea behemoths such as mosasaurs and giant squids in the ocean! The level of danger is much higher than on the island!

To be able to make such a low-level mistake is entirely due to experience--

There are no waves at all in the Ark game. The reason for such losses is entirely due to Li Xiao’s preconceptions!

Water splashed into his eyes from time to time, and Li Xiao could only squint his eyes. With the heavy rain, the visibility was even lower.

However, his eyes still saw a figure at the bottom of the cliff——

In the crevice at the bottom of the cliff that had just been hit by the waves, a feather ball wetted by the sea water huddled there...

It’s the alarm clock dodo!

"Get out of there!" Seeing such a scene, Li Xiao hurriedly shouted.

However, the sound could not travel very far in this bad weather, and even if it was passed, the dodo would not understand it.

Before my eyes, the waves hit again. This time the waves were much higher than before, and they were probably as high as the cliff!

The waves hit the cliff again unstoppably, and the splashing water even went over the top of the cliff!

And when the sea water receded, the dodo in the crevices of the rocks had disappeared!

Turning his head to look at the ocean, the figure of the Dodo disappeared and disappeared in the waves, and at the same time, its panicked cry reached Li Xiao's ears...

Obviously, it doesn't water!

"What a trouble!" Li Xiao complained, but he kept running and jumped to the beach!

There are no sleeping bags on the beach, and the ocean is so dangerous now. If Li Xiao dies, he will be resurrected randomly. Rationally speaking, he should not save the dodo.

However, human beings are such creatures. Between reason and impulse, they usually choose the latter...

It was difficult to swim in the choppy ocean, and the waves dragged the dodo far away from the shore. Li Xiao tried his best to swim in its direction...

Gradually, his figure is getting closer and closer to the dodo!

Finally, he swam in front of the dodo...

Unfortunately, the next moment, the dodo's figure was carried into the sea by an undercurrent!

Helpless, Li Xiao had no choice but to hold his breath and lean into the water...

Fortunately, the dodo didn't sink very deep. Li Xiao swam to it and hugged it into his arms!

The dodo had lost its voice and was probably drowning, but Li Xiao still hugged it tightly...

Not many dodos died in Li Xiao's hands today, but this one, Li Xiao couldn't bear to let it die on its own.

After carrying the dodo back to the sea, Li Xiao raised his head and looked in front of him, his face full of bitterness...

What appeared before us was a sea of ​​waves that covered the sky and the sun! The figures of Li Xiao and the Dodo were just invisible black dots in front of the waves!

In front of this irresistible force of nature, Li Xiao was so tiny. The next moment, the waves took him and the dodo in his arms directly to the depths of the ocean!

Opening his eyes, the scene under the sea suddenly came into Li Xiao's eyes!

To be honest, compared to the turbulent sea surface, the scenery under the sea is incredibly beautiful——

Glowing marine plants and giant blue-lighting jellyfish illuminate the seabed, and the scenery on the seabed is unobstructed...

Colorful fish, gem-like corals, marine plants of various shapes...

Beautiful! Breathtakingly beautiful!

Except——a few megalodon sharks swimming towards here!

Megalodon - Although this ancient ocean behemoth is the ancestor of sharks, its size is much larger than that of modern sharks, and can even compete with whales!

This ferocious sea creature is an apex predator, and its prey is hard to escape!

On the sea, Li Xiao's head suddenly popped out of the water, and without stopping, he swam frantically towards the shore.

And behind him, the fins on the back of the megalodon followed closely!

Finally, before the megalodon approached, he swam to the shore.

After taking a few steps towards the land, Li Xiao collapsed to the ground and threw the dodo in his arms aside - he had to risk his life to swim back in order not to be caught up by the shark!

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to rest, and the life or death of the dodo beside him was still uncertain, so he had to work hard to check on the dodo.

"You're not going to save a corpse, are you?!" Li Xiao patted the dodo's belly, "If you don't wake up, I'll roast you!"

"Pfft~"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dodo spit out a few mouthfuls of seawater, and then stood up energetically as if nothing had happened, and kept making "coo-coo" sounds from its mouth.

"I knew you little guy wasn't dead!"

Li Xiao lay on his back on the ground again, letting the rain hit his face. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...

He is too tired and needs a good rest...



He couldn't stay at the bottom of the cliff. Li Xiao had to find another place. Since he had killed all the animals in the small plain, this place was a good choice.

With his soaked coarse clothes sticking to his body, Li Xiao braved the heavy rain to build a house. His white hands kept working in the making column. Every time he completed a thatched building, Li Xiao immediately put it on the ground.

The foundation, walls, door frames, roof...the light and shadow projected continued to turn into entities, and a simple house was built.

It's as square as a matchbox, made entirely of six walls.

But don't worry about the appearance at this time. Li Xiao got into the "matchbox" and the rain disappeared instantly——

The building made by hand is indeed reliable. Although the roof is made of thatch, there is no sign of leakage.

A simple bed was placed in the room, and the simple shelter was completed. Taking off his clothes and getting into the animal skin quilt, Li Xiao suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something——

A slap on the head! He remembered that the Dodo and Wanwan were still outside!

————

A night of heavy rain washed away the bloodstains on the small plain, and this small area was filled with the fresh air after the rain.

The door of the thatched house opened, and a dodo came out. It preened its feathers and welcomed a new beginning.

Another Dilophosaurus came out of the thatched house, then another, and then another...

The last person to come out was a young man. He stretched his body and breathed in the fresh air after the rain.

There are some red marks on his forehead. Don't think too much, they must have been pecked by his "alarm clock".



Open the light screen, and in the character attributes column, Li Xiao's level has changed:

[Player name: Li Xiao]

[Level: 6 (Experience Value: 30/270)]

Yesterday, I didn’t have much experience before upgrading. After making some thatched buildings, I upgraded. Three new drawings also appeared in the production column:

[Name: Small storage box]

[Durability: Medium]

[Number of cells: 10]

[Making requirements: wood x20, thatch x20, fiber x8]

[Note: You don’t want to put everything in the inventory, do you?]



[Name:Grinder]

[Durability: High]

[Production requirements: Stone x20 and flint x10]

[Note: Decomposition, reorganization, and complex production often involve the combination of many materials. How to decompose? Just mash it!]



[Name: Anesthetic] (disposable consumables)

[Making requirements: rotten meat x1, black berries x3, grinder/grinder]

[Note: One spoon is wobbly, two spoons are stumbling, three spoons?]



Anesthetics cannot be made directly in the production bar, but need to be made in a grinder. This is also the characteristic of many items in the future - the portable production bar can only produce some simple handmade items, and the production of complex items will be transferred to the workbench and

on other multi-functional tools.

After making a grinder, Li Xiao placed it on the ground - it was composed of a thick large stone bowl and a heavy stone rod, which was very convenient for grinding materials.

The raw meat collected in the past few days has gone bad. There is a lot of rotten meat in the inventory, and there are also a lot of black berries. Li Xiao added these to the big stone bowl.

"How does this thing work?" After waiting for a while, the grinder did not move. "Do you need me to do it myself?"

Li Xiao called a few words to the white in the production column, but there was no movement at all.

"Well, it seems I really have to do it myself..."

Mix the mashed carrion and black berries thoroughly, and this dark paste becomes a simple and practical anesthetic.

The demand for anesthetic drugs will be increasing. It is an important raw material for making anesthetic arrows and anesthetic darts.
