Chapter 829: The Headbutt King's Decline

Under Alpha's hooves were piles of pottery fragments, densely packed.

Looking up, the pieces were inserted between the cracks of the rocks, and from a distance, it looked like a pottery mountain.

The pottery at the foot of the mountain was often trampled by wild camels, and no fragments larger than the size of a palm could be found. Only by going up could you see larger ones, but they were not complete.

"In 1917, explorers accidentally discovered about 300 pottery jars on a hill 250 kilometers southwest of Dakhla, most of which had been broken or drilled with holes."

"This confirms the legendary water storage warehouse discovered by the Dakhla people during the pursuit of the black bandits. It is obvious that the pursuers broke these jars to cut off the hope of the black bandits' comeback. Without water resources, it is difficult to move in the desert."

The so-called black bandits are the Tubu people who cross the desert to rob.

Because of their dark skin due to exposure to the sun, they are called black bandits. Occasionally, they rush into the oasis of Egypt from the west and disappear in the desert after a lightning-fast robbery.

The most hated black bandits are the Dakhla people.

Dakhla Oasis is located in the New Valley Province of Egypt. It is one of the seven oases in the western desert of Egypt. It is about 80 kilometers long from east to west and about 20 kilometers wide from north to south. It is one of the most charming oases in Egypt and is favored by black bandits.

Therefore, the two sides have long-standing grievances and have had long-lasting fights and struggles.

The black bandits who come and go without a trace set up supply points in many secret places, and Dakhla went to destroy these supply points.

"Prince Kemal al-Din visited this place in 1924 and named it Abu Baras, which means the father of pottery jars. This name has been used to this day."

Bifang turned over, stepped on the gravel, squatted down and looked at the pottery jar fragments carefully.

These pottery jars are quite simple, without any patterns on them at all, only a few have some colors and brown patterns like children's stick drawings.

Judging from these patterns alone, it is difficult to say that it has much value against one's conscience.

It is not good-looking, the material is ordinary, and there is no special meaning.

Coupled with the huge number of items, the audience has a deeper understanding of what Bifang calls "worthless". No wonder they are piled up here.

Daqi Oasis is located deep in the desert, but it is not a Jedi. Every year, there are still a few tourists and some natives who come here.

Over hundreds of years, it is also a huge number, but the pottery jar mountain has not disappeared, which is evident.

However, although it is worthless, the audience is very tempted.

There is an advantage to watching Bifang's live broadcast, that is, there is a certain probability of getting a prize.

The prize may be a spear, dagger, tool used by Fang Shen in the wilderness, or it may be the teeth, bones, and fur of captured prey.

Among them, daggers and animal teeth are the most popular, handsome and majestic, and very commemorative. Every time someone draws it, it always arouses widespread envy and jealousy.

For a while, Bifang also heard from his assistant that he saw someone selling his related prizes on the Internet. A tooth can be sold for thousands, and a flint dagger can easily sell for tens of thousands.

It is not clear whether this prize is real or fake. Animal teeth are too easy to fake.

Even if it was a real tooth, whether it was hunted by Bifang was another matter. He didn't have the habit of giving himself a certificate. It was just an entertainment activity for everyone to have fun.

Unfortunately, the probability of winning was extremely small, because the denominator was too large. With millions of viewers drawing together, the probability was lower than winning the sports lottery, but fortunately there was no shady deal, one was one.

[Can Fangshen bring some fragments, and give them to us in the lottery]

[Yes, yes, make a piece for collection]

[You said it as if you could win]

[One in ten thousand, maybe you'll be lucky]

[People always have to keep some fantasies, don't let your life be dull]

Seeing everyone begging, Bifang didn't mind bringing more things. He picked some small fragments with patterns on the pottery jar mountain and put them in his bag, ready to go back and give them to his fans.

Really spoiling fans.

Seeing this scene, the audience was overjoyed and cheered in the live broadcast room.

[Long live Fangshen! 】

[Is this how you pamper your fans? I love it, it has to be Fang Shen]

[The flying Henan people presented the anchor with a big bone*66 - it has to be my brother Fang]

[Brother Daren presented the anchor with a spaceship*1 - I love it]

[Sharpening the knife, I won't hide it from you now. I'm actually European]

[I look like Africans anyway]

The fragments selected by Bifang are all small and patterned, so that the number can be as large as possible without being too heavy, so that everyone can enjoy the rain and dew.

Although Alpha was responsible for the burden in the end, Alpha is not a perpetual motion machine, and its bearing capacity needs to be considered.

Ostrich meat, water, various trophies, plus himself as an adult male, Alpha's burden is not small.

An adult male camel can carry 200 kilograms, but if you walk for a long time, it is better to control the weight below 150 kilograms.

Bifang alone took up most of it, and he needed 10 kilograms of water and dozens of ostrich meat, so the quota left was not much.

Bifang let him rest and replenish supplies more and more frequently, and the route was to walk towards the oasis in his memory as much as possible.

After selecting the fragments, Bifang climbed up along the exposed rocks on Taowan Mountain and saw many patterns on the wall halfway up the mountain.

These patterns are different from murals. The ones Bifang saw before were painted on the wall, while the ones here are carved out of stone.

"When Prince Kemal Din returned to this place in 1926, he found rock paintings left by ancient humans on the hillside of Taoguan Mountain, including lactating cows, hunting antelopes, and portraits of people in costumes, which are what we see now."

"This shows that the local area was once a water and grass land suitable for grazing and hunting in ancient times."

Bifang's fingertips gently slid across the murals, feeling the unevenness of the rock layers, as if he felt the brushstrokes of the sculptor at that time thousands of years apart.

What a magnificent scene it was.

There were herds of cattle and horses on the grassland, and birds singing and dancing. Looking around, there was no scorching sun, only beautiful scenery.

"Based on the map analysis, the explorers at that time concluded that the journey from Abu Baras, also known as the Pot Mountain, to the Dahra Oasis should be the last third of the pirates' journey, and further down should be the legendary Zazulla Oasis."

"And there should be hidden water supply points on this reverse extension line, otherwise it would not be able to support a large army's rapid attack."

"Later explorations indeed found abandoned wells with intermittent water at roughly equal distances, and further forward, they found dried-up rivers, which confirmed the correctness of this idea."

"It's just that there are still some places we haven't found yet, perhaps they have been buried by gravel, which is not surprising in the Sahara. Perhaps a sandstorm could bury some small relics underground forever."

"And the Tubu marks found on these pottery jars seem to suggest that the pirates came from Dahra. "Strange."

"But the modern testing of broken pottery in recent years is really surprising. Some pottery fragments were fired in 1500 BC, which completely overturned the original speculation. "

"This seems to be the remains and evidence of the extensive trade network across the desert in the Pharaoh era. Perhaps the pirates just discovered and used the remaining trade routes of that year and expanded them, confusing us. "

"These signs all prove that Daqi has left a strong mark in history. Whether it is the ancient Shanglu or the supply point of the pirates, it cannot be avoided, which shows its importance. "

[I don't understand it very well, but it seems to be very awesome]

[Fang Shen knows a lot of history, and there are also stories about various adventurers]

[I have never heard of it. Is this the legendary academic bully?]

For the little stories that Bifang came up with, everyone had no other thoughts except admiration.

Profound knowledge, whether for men or women, always adds a different kind of personal charm.

[I have a hard time reciting a year in the history book, let alone telling stories. 】

[Is this the world of the strong?]

[The mutual appreciation between explorers, hahaha]

Bifang stood on the rock and admired it for a while. He felt so hot from the sun that he couldn't even stand up. After a round of browsing, he was satisfied and wanted to return along the original route. As a result, he looked down and was immediately happy.

Alpha, who had stayed in the same place, disappeared.

It's not that he ran away.

After two months of getting along, although the beginning of the acquaintance was not very good, the relationship has been cultivated. Alpha is no different from a normal domestic camel. He will not run around even if he is not tied up temporarily.

He disappeared at this time because Alpha went to the other side of the river at some point and pursued a female mate.

It seems that the drone also noticed this scene and found it particularly interesting. It gave an exclusive long shot, which made many viewers laugh.

A female camel kneeled on the ground, sitting and lying, while Alpha would sit in a big sitting position, clamping his two front legs on both sides of the female camel's chest, and began a great harmony of life.

Under the rhythmic movement, the decorations on Alpha's body jingled, which was quite interesting.

Perhaps it was because of so many fancy decorations that Alpha was able to hook up with a mate so quickly.

Animals don't rely entirely on hormones. Great harmony still requires eye contact.

Bifang smiled and sighed helplessly: "We can only wait for it to be over. Male camels at this stage are still quite irritable. When it's done, it will come back by itself."

[Didn't you say that the estrus period is from January to April? ]

[I can tell that I didn't listen carefully. Fang Shen also said that because it is a tropical area, there is a chance that it will happen outside the estrus period]

[Alpha is big, so he is also handsome among animals, right? ]

[No, I am dying of laughter. What should Fang Shen do now? 】

【How long will it take】

【I remember snakes take twelve hours at a time】

【Xu Xian is so terrifying】

"Most mammals don't take long to do this. Humans are already the best. Most animals can't compare. This time it's a few minutes at most."

I don't know if Alpha is a veteran and got the hang of it very quickly. It took less than half an hour for Bifang to get up and down, and the matter was almost over.

Alpha snorted, stood up and shook his hair, as if he was a little depressed.

Counting it up, it may be less than a quarter of an hour from the beginning of the hookup to the end, proving that Bifang's words were true. It really embarrassed the camel. Fortunately, the camel doesn't care about these things.

The audience in the barrage laughed even louder.

【It's over, the headbutt king will also be depressed one day】

【Can this still be ridden】

【Too cool, this rhythm is going to make me laugh to death, hahahaha】

The audience made ruthless ridicule, and some people noticed something different.

[Why do there seem to be only dromedary camels here?]

[Yeah, I didn’t see any Bactrian camels.]

“Because there are no Bactrian camels in the Sahara.”

Due to the obstruction of the Nile crocodiles in the Blackwater River, it was inconvenient to pass through.

Bifang whistled, and Alpha, who was still thinking about the aftertaste, moved his ears and finally waded through slowly.

"From a geographical point of view, Bactrian camels are only found in Asia, and the main reason for this is environmental reasons."

"Dromedaries are mainly distributed in tropical areas, especially tropical desert climate zones, such as the Arabian Peninsula in West Asia and the Sahara Desert in North Africa."

"Bactrian camels are mainly distributed in temperate continental climate zones, especially temperate desert climate zones, such as Northwest my country and Central Asia."

"Don't think that Bactrian and dromedary camels seem to be similar, except for the number of humps. In fact, there are still differences. Dromedaries are taller and can walk and run in the desert, transport goods, and carry people."

"Bactrian camels have short and thick limbs, which are more suitable for walking on gravel and snow."

"Due to the lack of fossils of several transitional periods in the evolutionary history of camels, the evolutionary tree about them is incomplete."

"From the past According to the fossils found, the earliest ones that appeared 35 million years ago were called protozoa. These protozoa were about 1 meter long and had no bulge on their backs. Later, the protozoa evolved into ancient camels. The pseudo-camels that appeared 3 million years ago had bulges on their backs. "

"Research has found that these ancient camels first lived in North America, and later migrated to Asia or the Middle East and Africa. Because the grasslands were occupied by herbivores at that time, the camels went to the marginal deserts where competition was poor. "

"Bactrian camels and dromedaries are descendants of the same ancestor, the primitive camels, but in order to adapt to the environment, some more subtle adjustments have been made, allowing the former to adapt to cold deserts and the latter to adapt to hot deserts. "

"Damn, there are actually differences"

"I didn't expect it. I thought Bactrian camels and dromedaries were similar, but they turned out to be different? 】

"Another day of learning, I'll go out and brag later"

"Alpha waded in, and the Nile crocodiles in the river floated on the water, looking at this behemoth, unmoved.

"This is not something they can afford to provoke.

" When Alpha came back to Bifang, he was almost visibly depressed, with drooping eyebrows, as if he had not slept for a long time.

Bifang patted its head, trying to cheer it up, but it was useless.

Seeing its exhausted appearance, Bifang was too embarrassed to ride it again, so he could only lead the reins and walk towards the outside of the canyon.

During lactation, male and female kangaroos can adjust the concentration of breast milk in their bodies. They can "customize" different types of breast milk according to the actual situation of the baby kangaroo to ensure the growth needs of the baby kangaroo.
