You can evolve by surviving in the Ark

With a thunderous roar, the marsupial lion's hook claws broke through the horny hard skin of the ground sloth. Following the gaps between the bones and the texture of the muscles, the cut ferocious blood mouth spurted out surging hot blood.

This amount of bleeding looks extremely scary, but for the giant ground sloth, it is not serious. After a while, as the swollen muscles of the giant ground sloth pressed the wound tightly shut, the bleeding gradually stopped.

This marsupial lion always guards the dizzy companion, swimming around it in circles, growling to threaten the approaching ground sloths, and occasionally pounces with sharp blows.

The giant ground sloth does not attack, but only resists damage as much as possible, and continues to move forward under the command of humans, compressing the space it has to move.

Under the firepower of three long-barreled rifles, the body of the marsupial lion has been "grown" with a circle of tranquilizer darts. The trembling caused by the continuous accumulation of anesthetic effects during the action became more and more serious. Visible to the naked eye, its power was getting smaller and its aggressiveness was weakening.

It understands that it cannot be defeated.

"Ugh..."

The companion lying on the ground made a low voice, which seemed to be conveying something to it. The marsupial lion turned around, lowered its head and rubbed its forehead, and then began to look for flaws in the encirclement.

Nothing can be done, it plans to run away.

This is not difficult. Compared with the marsupial lion, the giant ground sloth is powerful but also clumsy and slow. If it wants to leave, even if it's not at its peak, there's no way these giant ground sloths can stop it.

The body of the marsupial lion began to lower itself to accumulate strength. Taking advantage of this moment, it glanced at its fallen partner with infinite nostalgia.

Living in the dangerous and cruel Ark World, it understands that this separation is likely to be a separation of life and death. But it must survive because...

boom!Boom!

The marsupial lion's body paused. Because of this glance, it received three more tranquilizer darts. It rushed out suddenly, and the ground sloth in front tried to intercept it, but it changed its direction and deceived it. It also allowed two tranquilizer darts fired from behind to pierce the giant ground sloth's body.

But there was still a tranquilizer dart that hit its hind legs. This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. As its hind legs lost feeling, the thylacine stumbled a few steps and then fell to the ground.

It whined, but no matter how hard it tried, its body couldn't obey.

Qiao Liang jumped off the giant ground sloth and walked to it. This marsupial lion is a bit bloated, and its combat performance is far less powerful than the previous marsupial lion.

With this thought in mind, he still squatted down and used the implant to sweep the marsupial lion:

"[Thylacon] (female), stun degree: 99.9%, tame degree: 0%. Pregnant:... (no authority)."

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment.

The marsupial lion that fell to the ground at first roared, as if in response, sadly and feebly.

"What's wrong?" Li Hongying saw Qiao Liang's expression was a little weird, so she came over and asked, Tuo Tuo also followed.

"it……"

Qiao Liang scanned it again with the implant before confirming. This situation was indeed something he didn't expect at all, "It's pregnant."

Li Hongying and Tuotuo looked at the marsupial lion that fell to the ground, and were silent for a moment.

Qiao Liang walked to the marsupial lion that fell to the ground first, and used the implant to sweep it away. Sure enough, it was a male.

The marsupial lion kept moaning sadly, so he squatted down, touched its head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will take good care of your wife."

I just don’t know how the implant translated it, but the marsupial lion’s voice suddenly became excited.

After that, it was a long night.

……

As the only creature in the mangrove that loves cooked food, the most effective food for taming the marsupial lion is high-quality cooked meat, in addition to special feed and cooked mutton.

The roasted high-quality meat scraped from the body of the elite Tyrannosaurus was covered in anesthetic, and Qiao Liang fed it hand-in-hand into the mouth of the marsupial lion.

The marsupial lions are highly resistant to anesthesia, and their dizziness level decreases very quickly, so they need to be replenished with anesthesia in time. Therefore, Qiao Liang and Tuotuo take care of the two lions respectively, and Li Hongying is responsible for the vigilance.

A few hours later, the sun disappeared, the moon hung high, and darkness swallowed the entire mangrove forest. The three of them lit a bonfire and were on guard for any hunters who were ready to move in the darkness beyond the light.

Generally speaking, neither the giant ground sloth nor the marsupial lion has any natural enemies in the mangroves. I won’t go into details about the giant ground sloth. As for the marsupial lion, except for the Tyrannosaurus rex and Allosaurus that haunt the mountains in the center of the mangrove, no creature has the ability to defeat the marsupial lion.

In addition, although the Argentine giant eagle can catch the thylacine directly into the sky, it cannot withstand the attack of the thylacine. And their usual trick of throwing creatures from high altitudes to death is useless against marsupial lions. As arboreal creatures, marsupial lions themselves have good ability to absorb shock from falling.

But this is a mangrove forest.

In the past few hours, they had been attacked by several waves of Cow Dragons and Horror Birds. Relying on the powerful fighting power of the evolved giant ground sloth, it was natural to survive without any danger.

Of course, these attacks also included saber-toothed tigers. Two saber-toothed tigers were tied up with meteor hammers, knocked unconscious on the spot, and lay aside. After feeding it high-quality raw meat cut from the body of the Taurus, it was almost tamed.

During this period, Tuotuo wanted to save anesthetic bullets, so he shot an anesthetic arrow with a crossbow and killed one.

Sabre-toothed tigers are certainly the most powerful cats in the history of Aquamarine. Their sharp blade-like teeth are enough to cut through the thick fur and keratinized hard skin of large creatures, and their strong muscles can generate enough force to carry them together. The fat layer is penetrated and torn off together with the flesh and blood.

But at the same time, compared with other large prehistoric creatures, their body hair was shallow and their skin was soft. They were not much different from modern ligers and were hardly able to defend themselves against attacks from powerful creatures. In the world of Ark, the saber-toothed tiger's vitality is too fragile.

But at least, they have stronger combat power, more flexibility, and faster running speed than Velociraptors. They are still a good choice for pets in the mines.

It's good luck.

Qiao Liang looked at the sky. What he was most worried about was actually the Argentine giant eagle. In this world, once the Argentine giant eagle attacks, it will directly snatch people away. This is why he has not made the decision to tame the Argentine giant eagle.

Taking into account the Argentine giant eagle's habit of eating carcasses, in order to prevent the Argentine giant eagle from being attracted, the three of them also spent a lot of effort to throw the carcasses left by the incoming carnivorous creatures far away.

In the dark sky, eagles chirped from far away, and the Argentine giant eagle could be vaguely seen returning to its nest.

The night got deeper and deeper, and the temperature gradually dropped.

The giant ground sloths that once slept sixteen hours a day finally ushered in a life of working overtime all day long. They sat in a circle, guarding five directions.

At this time, they can supplement a lot of nutrients from the large amounts of meat they eat every day, and their combat effectiveness will not be affected if they don't sleep for a day or two.

There is no good night for workers.

Qiao Liang sat down by the campfire to keep warm and considered the power in his hands. You can make some more marsupial lions, saber-toothed tigers, fur armor to keep out the cold, and food supplies, but there are not enough bullets... You may have to go back to Crescent Bay to get some more.

He looked up and saw Li Hongying walking over.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Hongying shook her head slightly, indicating that nothing happened, and then slowly spoke: "I'm a little...I have lost my mind."

In the blink of an eye, it has been less than half a month since I arrived in the mangrove. I don’t know how the group of velociraptors are doing in Crescent Bay. There is still enough food.

"Well, let's go back and have a look when it gets daylight...or take a nap first? By the way, bring back some bullets."

"Yeah." Li Hongying responded, then her eyes drifted to the side, and she asked casually as if she didn't care, "What did you want to say to me that night...what is the next one?"

"what……"

Qiao Liang scratched his head. Too many things happened today that he didn't expect.

He looked at Li Hongying's side face, which was stained a little rosy by the firelight, like an attractive red apple.

Some things are already very obvious, and Qiao Liang is not a dead wood that cannot be carved. He knows what to say and what to say at this time.

"I... I actually..."

"Qiao Liang! Sister Hongying! My marsupial lion here is ready!"

A loud shout interrupted Qiao Liang's courage that he had just mustered up.

The female marsupial lion walked into the firelight under the leadership of Tuotuo, and its brown-red fur looked even redder. It walked up to the untamed male marsupial lion, lowered its head and licked its ears.

Feeling the breath of its partner, the male marsupial lion responded with a purring sound even though it could not open its eyes. It opened its mouth and ate another piece of high-quality cooked meat.

Tuotuo came to the side of the bonfire, muttering "It's so cold to me, it's so cold to me", while lowering his head and rubbing his hands.

She never raised her head, ignoring the looks the two men were looking at her.

No sleep for one night.
