Chapter 2079： Go to the edge of the desert

After resting in the hotel room for a while, Li Fan, Su Qing, and Qin Yulin walked out of the hotel, planning to take a look at the edge of the Tengger Desert outside the city.

After seeing it at the edge of the desert today, you can go deep into the desert tomorrow.

With Li Fan, let alone the Tengger Desert, it is the most mysterious and scariest desert in the world. For the three of them, it is no different from their own back garden.

Coming to the outside of the city, looking around, although I still can't see the edge of the desert, I can already feel a sense of desolation and loneliness.

It is the unique atmosphere of the desert, which makes people hesitate and fearful, but there is still some yearning.

Longing for the vastness, desolation and loneliness of the desert!

The two daughters Su Qing and Qin Yulin looked very excited. For them, it was the first time they felt in their lives.

Li Fan was also a little bit emotional. After coming to this world, it was the first time he came to the desert, and he also had some longings.

Outside the city, some local businessmen saw the three of Li Fan, their eyes brightened, and they greeted them enthusiastically, asking if the three were going to the desert? Do you need a wizard? Do I need to ride a camel, etc.?

Walking in the desert, camels are obviously the perfect means of transportation. Where there are deserts, there are almost always camels.

When he first left the city, Li Fan saw a local businessman from a distance, holding a camel in his hand, waiting to take guests.

If there is enough popularity here, their business will obviously be very good, but now, their business is as barren as this barren land.

There is hardly any business, but they are still there.

Stay there, there is hope.

From here to the edge of the desert, there is still a long journey. It is a good choice to take a camel to save your feet and feel the scenery of riding on a camel.

Therefore, Li Fan did not refuse the solicitation of the camel owner. He chose three camels and prepared to go to the edge of the desert.

The two daughters Su Qing and Qin Yulin were a little excited, looking eager to try.

Li Fan stroked the two on camels separately, and then he got on a camel.

The three camels belonged to three owners. One of the camels was a young man, about 25 years old. After discussing a few words with the owners of the other two camels, he turned on one camel himself.

He is going to accompany the three of Li Fan to walk together, one is to lead the way, and the other is to be responsible for the safety of the three of Li Fan on the camel.

Li Fan originally planned not to let the young man follow. With him, Su Qing and Qin Yulin are absolutely safe, but the young man obviously has to follow to be relieved, and Li Fan no longer refuses.

The young man is kind and responsible, and Li Fan is naturally willing to fulfill the young man's kindness.

Four people on four rides slowly on the road, riding on the back of a camel, it feels much more secure than riding on horseback.

Therefore, even if the two daughters Su Qing and Qin Yulin rode a camel for the first time, they can adapt quickly, and they can do a good job without walking a long distance, looking around on the back of the camel, talking and laughing, with great interest.

The young man is not very good at chatting, and is a little bit cautious.

Therefore, there are not many words, just keep an eye on the situation and movements of the camels that Li Fan and the three are riding on.

Li Fan took the initiative to ask the young man to say something. From the few words of the young man, Li Fan learned that the young man was called Shi Kai. He was 25 years old this year and was born and raised. But their home was not in Menggen City, but in Menggen City. On the edge of the desert, in a village called "Tonghu".

Although Tonghu Village is remote and the conditions are relatively poor, it is a large village with more than 200 households.

Of course, this is mainly due to the concentration of residents on the edge of the desert.

In the Great Tengger Desert, there are only a few villages inhabited by residents except for the city of Mengen.

Therefore, the number of residents in each village is not small.

Shi Kai warmly invited the three of Li Fan to visit their village to experience the special features of their village on the edge of the desert.

Seeing that it was a sincere invitation, Li Fan hesitated and agreed.

Anyway, today I was just walking around the edge of the desert and taking a round in Tonghu Village. It seemed not bad.

The two daughters Su Qing and Qin Yulin also looked forward to it.

Seeing that the three guests agreed to go around in the village, Shi Kai was no longer as cautious as before, and talked a little bit more. He also took the initiative to introduce some information about the desert to the three of them.

It is said that the desert is very barren and not suitable for the survival of animals and plants. Therefore, the species of animals and plants in the desert are far less abundant than other landforms, but the desert is by no means lifeless.

There is life in the sky, on the surface, and on the ground of the desert.

And at this moment, there were faint sounds of "Qa~, quack~, quack~" from a distance, some of them sounded like crows.

Qin Yulin was a little strange, and said, "Are there also crows in the desert?"

Shi Kai laughed and said: "It is not a crow, but a large land-dwelling bird of prey that can live in semi-desert areas. It is called a heron. Its cry is similar to that of a crow, but it is far more called than a crow. Loud and crisp, the crow's cry can't reach that far."

"Heron Eagle? Is this a large bird of prey? How come I haven't heard of it? I should have heard of large bird of prey." Qin Yulin was still a little confused.

Li Fan smiled after hearing this: "Heron Eagle also has a more commonly used term called Secretary Eagle. You should have heard of it by now?"

Qin Yulin suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a secretary bird. I know about the secretary bird. Let me just say that there is no reason for a large bird of prey that I have never heard of."

Secretary bird, also known as heron eagle, falconiformes, is a large terrestrial bird of prey, originally only living in sub-Saharan Africa, but this world introduced this animal from Africa decades ago.

The survival rate of the chicks of Secretary Eagle is very low, but they grow extremely fast.

Therefore, now in the Tengger Desert and its surrounding areas, there are many secretarial eagles living, which is one of the symbols of the Tengger Desert.

Of all the desert areas in the country, only the Tengger Desert has secretarial eagles, because hundreds of freshwater lakes in the Tengger Desert and the dense vegetation surrounding it provide conditions for the survival of secretarial eagles.

The secretary bird is tall, its body length and height can reach more than 1.5 meters, the wingspan can exceed 2 meters, and the double long legs are very obvious. It can be described as "outstanding birds" among the birds of prey.

Secretary vultures have very good flying skills, but they obviously prefer to walk on the ground with two long legs than flying, including predation.

Secretary bird mainly preys on large insects and small mammals, and is also a natural enemy of many poisonous animals.

They often walk up and down on the ground with their slender long legs. They are so graceful that it is hard to imagine how fierce they are when hunting.

For such a unique bird of prey, Qin Yulin was quite curious and delighted, and said: "Since we can hear their calls, it means that they are not far away. Can we see them?"

Shi Zhan shook his head and said: "It's difficult. They run very fast. When we get closer, they have already run very far. However, if you are lucky, you can see them flying through the sky. Although they are not I like flying, but sometimes I also fly."

Qin Yulin nodded, looking forward to it.
