The Arab Republic of Egypt, or Egypt for short.
Located in the northeast of Africa, it was the transportation hub of the three major states of Europe, Asia and Africa. It was the shortest route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
After saying goodbye to Jiang Miaoyu, Fang Qiu immediately got on the helicopter arranged for him by the President of Comoros.
In fact.
The only function of the helicopter was to send Fang Qiu away from Comoros.
Across the ocean.
Fang Qiu was sent to a coastal city called Mombasa in Tanzania, which was adjacent to the sea in Africa.
For the President of Comoros, it was too wasteful to send Fang Qiu directly to Egypt by helicopter. Comoros, which was already very short of fuel, would never do such a thing. Therefore, the President chose to book a ticket for Fang Qiu to Egypt in Mombasa.
Of course.
Fang Qiu did not insist.
He knew that it was almost impossible for the President of Comoros to send him directly to Egypt. After all, Africa was too big. To go from Comoros to Egypt, he had to cross at least three countries!
Using a helicopter to fly over another country's airspace was obviously not allowed.
After arriving in Mombasa, the helicopter returned.
After getting the ticket, Fang Qiu quickly got on the plane to Egypt.
Across three countries.
After more than ten hours, Fang Qiu finally arrived at the capital of Egypt, Cairo.
Cairo was the largest city in the whole of Africa and the entire Arab world. It was across the Nile River and located in the northeast of Egypt.
After getting off the plane.
Fang Qiu immediately took out his mobile phone and opened the map.
He clearly remembered that the location of the four kinds of herbs recorded in the book and the prescription that could cure malaria was in the north of Egypt, near the Sahara Desert.
There was a barbaric tribe there!
Out of the airport.
Fang Qiu directly used the GPS and bought a very cheap second-hand car in Cairo. Then he drove all the way to the location of the tribe.
After driving for more than an hour.
Fang Qiu finally arrived at his destination.
Far away.
Fang Qiu saw the yellow sand on the horizon, dancing in the wind.
Not far from the yellow sand.
There were a few patches of green, which were cactuses in the desert. There were also some trees that looked like leafy trees. Between these trees, there were some semicircular houses made of stones, which looked like caves.
"This is it!"
Seeing those houses, Fang Qiu immediately confirmed that this tribe must be the barbaric tribe recorded in the book.
He sped up.
After walking for a few minutes, Fang Qiu stopped when he was about 50 meters away from the tribe.
Since the book stated that this was a barbaric tribe and everything here looked like a primitive tribe, Fang Qiu was afraid that he would arouse the hostility of the people in the tribe if he just barged in.
Therefore …
Only then did Fang Qiu choose to stop the car and quickly walk in.
"Hmm, is there a fishy smell?"
After a few steps, a gust of hot wind blew in his face, making Fang Qiu smell a trace of blood.
True enough.
He continued walking for about 30 meters. When he was about to enter the tribe, he saw some dried bloodstains on the ground.
Meanwhile.
"Wu wu wu …"
A sorrowful cry came from the tribe.
He looked in the direction of the voice.
Fang Qiu found that in front of one of the stone houses in that tribe, several people were squatting at the door, surrounding a corpse that had not been moved, kneeling on the ground and crying.
"What's the situation?"
Fang Qiu was slightly stunned and quickly walked up, full of doubts.
However …
Just as he reached the entrance of the tribe.
"Ah …"
Those men who found him, naked with only a string of leaves tied around their waists, all stood up at once and roared furiously and crazily.
In their hands, there were stone hammers made of wooden sticks and stones, rough stone axes polished from stones, and even self-made bows and arrows!
With the crazy roar.
Those who looked like primitive people immediately waved the weapons in their hands and rushed towards Fang Qiu with red eyes. Without saying a word, they directly hit Fang Qiu's head.
Some people who did not rush over, all took out long arrows stained with snake venom and shot at Fang Qiu!
"It seems that I came at the wrong time."
Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and moved quickly. His figure flickered and dodged all the attacks. He also grabbed two sharp arrows that were shooting at him.
"Even the arrowheads are made of stone and smeared with snake venom … This tribe is really primitive."
He flashed to the side of a big tree that was wide enough for a person to wrap his arms around, threw the sharp arrow in his hand to the ground. When the group of people of the primitive tribe attacked again like crazy, he waved his right hand and directly punched the big tree next to him.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise.
All the people of the primitive tribes were shocked.
Looking at Fang Qiu and the big tree beside Fang Qiu, the faces of these primitive tribe people instantly changed.
Because they saw.
That big tree, which needed a person to hug, was actually broken by Fang Qiu's punch!
In the extremely shocked eyes of all the primitive tribe people.
The big tree, crashed to the ground!
At this moment.
All the primitive tribes kept quiet out of fear.
They did not dare to move again. While constantly retreating, they all put away the weapons in their hands and looked at Fang Qiu as if they were looking at a god, not daring to have the slightest offense.
"Does anyone speak English?"
Looking indifferently at these primitive tribe people, Fang Qiu opened his mouth and asked.
The primitive tribe people did not listen at all.
As if God was blaming them for their mistakes, all of them even flinched and almost knelt down.
At this time.
"I, I can speak a little."
An old man with a cane came out of the stone house and said as he walked towards Fang Qiu, "I can speak a little."
"Oh?"
Fang Qiu was surprised.
This was a barbaric tribe. How could anyone know English?
"I'm the chief."
The old man seemed to have noticed Fang Qiu's confusion. Then, he waved his hand at the people of the primitive tribe. The people of the primitive tribe immediately retreated to the door of the stone house, squatting together and no longer talking.
"Chief?"
Fang Qiu was more curious.
"Yes."
The old man nodded affirmatively and said, "This is the rule of our tribe. In every generation, one person must go out to contact the outside world and then bring back the technology to develop the tribe. But in any case, the tribe is not allowed to accept any gifts from the outside world. We can only rely on our own efforts to develop and evolve, and I am the only one who has contacted the outside world. Although I know English, I can't teach them, and they won't learn it. Although I have the technology, without the material support provided by the city, we can't do anything, so our tribe has not developed!"
"So that's how it is."
Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.
In his view, this old man could indeed speak English, but it was a little awkward and was not proficient at all. But as long as he could understand it, it was fine.
"What's going on?"
Fang Qiu pointed to the corpse surrounded by the group of people and asked, "I just got here. Why did they attack me? How did that person die?"
"Before you came, a group of people came to our tribe. Not only did they kill our people, but they also kidnapped a few people to be their guides. They asked our people to take them to hunt large animals."
The old man explained with a worried expression before adding, "My clansmen thought that you were in cahoots with those people and were blinded by hatred. That's why they attacked you. I apologize on behalf of them. I'm sorry."
"No need."
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, "I'm not hurt. You don't need to apologize, but I came here for a reason. I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter?"
The old man was puzzled.
Fang Qiu did not hesitate and directly took out an ancient prescription. He handed it to the old man and asked, "Does this house belong to your tribe?"
The old man took the prescription and looked at it, then said, "Yes, the previous generation of our tribe used this prescription, but sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't."
"Now, do you still have the medicinal materials on this prescription?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"Yes."
The old man nodded and said, "These medicinal materials can still be found, and there are many of them, but one of them is very special and crucial. Without my guidance, no one can find that kind of medicinal material."
"What do you want?"
Fang Qiu asked directly.
"I don't want money or anything of yours. You've shown great strength, so I want you to help me save people. If you can save our people, I'll help you."
The old man looked straight into Fang Qiu's eyes, with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Okay."
Fang Qiu did not think too much and directly nodded and agreed, "I need to know which direction they went."
"That way."
The old man raised his crutch and pointed to the north.
"Wait for me."
Fang Qiu nodded knowingly, then moved and quickly chased in the direction pointed by the old man.
As soon as Fang Qiu left.
The people in the tribe immediately ran up and surrounded the old man, each of them talking excitedly in a language that was completely incomprehensible.
The old man comforted them one by one.
Others didn't know, but he heard it very clearly.
The people in the tribe were very worried.
They were afraid that Fang Qiu was a bad person like the previous people, who would hurt the people in the tribe and even hurt the tribe.
"He's very powerful. Only he can save our people. According to my experience, he seems to be a good person. Don't worry, let's wait for him to save the people."
The old man kept comforting them.
And here.
Fang Qiu's speed was very fast.
This time, he did not drive.
Anyway, there was no one in the desert, and the other party should not have gone far. If he drove there, he would alert the enemy, so he simply walked there.
After chasing for several kilometers.
Fang Qiu finally saw an unusual situation in front of him.
Ahead.
It was a particularly desolate red land that had not yet been desertified. On this vast red land, there was a stream of water, some withered yellow flowers and plants, and some trees that did not seem so tenacious.
And at this time.
What Fang Qiu saw on that piece of red land was a strong lion. Its movements were particularly agile, and it was madly chasing several tribesmen dressed as primitive tribesmen.
