The Taklamakan Desert is the largest desert in China, covering about 82 percent of the Tarim Basin.

There are different theories about the cause of the formation of the Taklamakan Desert, some say that it is the cause of the collision of the earth's crust, and some say that it is the cause of low rainfall and high evaporation.

However, no matter how modern people argue, in the game, the Taklamakan Desert does not exist, and the entire central part of the Tarim Basin is full of meadows, forests, and swamps.

For this strange phenomenon, Huaxia players are happy but also have deep doubts.

What does it mean that the Taklamakan Desert does not exist?

In order to find out, many players have gone there to explore the orcs after randomly encountering them, but due to the lack of professional tools, all of them have ended up in vain.

Just when many people are ready to go with the flow and stop getting to the bottom of it, a scholar who studies Caspian tigers suggests a possibility.

The Caspian tiger, also known as the Xinjiang tiger, the Persian tiger, the Caucasian tiger, the Turan tiger, the West Asian tiger, and the Central Asian tiger, is the third largest subspecies of tigers.

The Caspian tiger was once widely distributed in the Xinjiang region of China, but became extinct in China in 1916.

As for the extinction of the Xinjiang tiger, the academic community generally believes that it was caused by human production activities.

Xinjiang tigers live in forests, rivers and wetlands, and their main diet is wild boar.

Due to the large-scale reclamation of human beings, the wetland area has been shrinking, Lop Nur has dried up, and the number of wild boars has decreased dramatically, resulting in a break in the food chain with the Xinjiang tiger as the top of the pyramid, and finally the Xinjiang tiger has gone extinct.

In order to convince people, the scholar took Gu Loulan as an example and put forward his own unique opinion.

As the hometown of the Caspian tiger, Loulan once became an important transportation hub in the Western Regions because of its geographical location.

As the population continued to increase, forests were cut down, overgrazing and pastures were cultivated, resulting in the cutting off of rivers and the desertification of the land, and the prosperous ancient kingdom of Loulan eventually went into decline.

Like Loulan, the Caspian tiger also suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, losing the forest, which is equivalent to losing the source of food and the loss of the beautiful home, so a large number of Caspian tigers died.

Nowadays, the once prosperous Guloulan area has turned into a piece of yellow sand, and only some remnants of broken walls still stand tenaciously there, telling people that there was once a prosperous ancient city here.

From point to point, Guloulan can be transformed from a rich land into a barren desert due to human activities, so there is nothing impossible in the Tarim Basin.

After all, there are so many rivers flowing into the Tarim Basin from the Tianshan, Kunlun and Altun Mountains, which should not be a barren desert, and even if there is sand, it should not be on such a large scale.

The only possibility is that as the number of predators at the top of the food chain decreases, herbivores cannot be suppressed.

When a large amount of grassland was over-eaten by herbivores and could not be restored, the land began to desertify, which eventually led to a serious imbalance in the ecological environment of the Tarim Basin, and finally formed the Taklamakan Desert with vast yellow sand.

The Tarim Basin in the game has not yet been exploited by humans, and few orcs living there are engaged in large-scale agricultural production activities, so it is still lush today.

In the center of the Tarim Basin, there is a hill in the shape of a sheep's head - Red Sheep Mountain.

Red Sheep Mountain

The only natural wonder, the peak, one of the Seven Sheep Secret Realm, from a distance, the whole mountain peak is like a huge goat's head, because the peak representing the two sheep horns is red, so it is named Red Sheep Mountain, settle in the vicinity, you can get a little scientific research value every day.

Redhorn Goats: There is a one-way portal in a location similar to a sheep's mouth in Red Sheep Mountain, which spews out 1,000 adult red-horned goats every day at noon.

Sheep and sheep: The growth rate of all sheep and livestock in the territory is increased by 30%.

Seven Sheep Kaitai: After collecting seven secret realms such as red (orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple) sheep mountain, you can obtain the natural blessing effect of Seven Sheep Kaitai, and the growth rate of all livestock in the territory will increase by 30%, and the growth rate of sheep and livestock will increase by 70%.

Chiyang Mountain produces 1,000 Chijiao goats every day, 30,000 a month and 360,000 a year, which is even more exaggerated than pie in the sky.

However, the attributes of the only natural wonder are so unreasonable, which is why people fight for each of the only natural wonders.

In addition to the 360,000 red horned goats that are given for free every year, Red Sheep Mountain can also increase the growth rate of sheep and livestock in the territory, an attribute that is simply a tiger with wings for countries that are dominated by animal husbandry.

The Tiger Tribe, where Tiger Roar is located, was able to gradually develop from a small tribe to a large empire covering an area of several million square kilometers, and Chiyang Mountain contributed a lot.

It is precisely because of Chiyang Mountain that Tiger Roaring Sky can afford to raise so many saber-toothed tigers.

If it weren't for the fact that there were only two saber-toothed tiger secret realms in the entire Tarim Basin, Tiger Roaring Heaven would not be able to obtain a large number of saber-toothed tiger demon beast eggs, then let alone 10,000 saber-toothed tigers, even if there were tens of thousands more, Tiger Roaring Heaven would be able to afford it.

The Linhai Empire originated in Chiyang Mountain, and without Chiyang Mountain, there would be no Linhai Empire today, so the importance of Chiyang Mountain is clearer than anyone else.

The reason why the Tiger People can stand proudly above other orc races is because Red Sheep Mountain is always under their control.

In order to ensure that the Tiger People would always enjoy a unique position in the Linhai Empire, Tiger Roaring Sky built the royal city of the Tiger People on the site of Chiyang Mountain, and surrounded Chiyang Mountain with obsidian walls.

In this way, even if the enemy army is overwhelmed, the Tiger People can hold the Tiger King City.

As long as the walls are not breached, then they can hold on forever, because a thousand red horned goats a day are enough to feed many tiger warriors.

In addition to the 10,000 tiger guards in the Tiger King City, there are also tens of thousands of tiger royal clans, those tiger royal clans are the family members and relatives of Tiger Xiaotian and his subordinates, and other orc clans are not allowed to enter the Tiger King City without receiving orders.

When Ma Wanli led the cavalry regiment of the Condor Army to attack the Tarim Basin, the Tiger King Clan, who got the news, immediately recalled all the Tiger Guards to Tiger King City, and then closed the city gate, preparing to defend Tiger King City to the death.

When the Condor Army subjugated all the other orcs in the Tarim Basin, there was only one Tiger King City left in the entire Xinjiang region, which was still outside the rule of the Condor Empire.
