Chapter 165: Chapter 164: Too much! (Seeking subscriptions, recommendations, and monthly tickets)

’Sacrifices’ were led one by one down the altar, seemingly to be locked somewhere to wait for tomorrow’s sacrificial ceremony.

Along the way, all the [Players] were analyzing the present environment or clues.

There were quite a few residents around the altar. When the people were brought down with chains, many people were watching under the altar.

As the ’sacrifices’ were led down the altar, some of them let out sighs of regret.

Perhaps to them, ’sacrifices’ were not considered fellow tribespeople, or maybe they simply treated the sacrificial activity as a form of entertainment?

Seeing them wearing silk-like materials, most of the people were white, as Li Changhe noted to himself.

Was it silk? Did it represent some connection to ancient Hua Country? White people... silk... Sun King.

Li Changhe quickly found these keywords in his memory. He found connections to ancient Hua Country, but they were white people. They had black curly hair. Living sacrifices to the Sun King...

Loulan... Sun Tomb? Li Changhe remembered that among the famous ancient tombs, there was such a place - the Loulan Sun Tomb. It was said that one of Loulan’s kings claimed to be the Sun King.

It is unknown whether it was for the purpose of ruling, or to secure his own mystique, or to enjoy privileges in the afterlife.

The Sun King threatened to sacrifice boys and girls every year, otherwise, he would return to Loulan with a terrible black storm and kill all living beings.

This was obviously a fabrication, but in that era, royal and divine power were intertwined. For later generations of Loulan, this threat indeed carried some deterrence.

One dared to say, one dared to do.

It was said that more than 800 human remains had been excavated from the Sun Tomb, and many of them had been sent into the tomb alive.

If this was true, it was no wonder that Loulan was wiped out.

They probably were Loulan people, and this time the [Plot Task] was the Loulan Sun Tomb burial? Li Changhe thought to himself.

He wasn’t the only one with this idea. The [Players] occasionally exchanged glances, and their mouth shapes spelled the word ’Loulan’. It seemed that they had all looked up information before.

After all, it was a task related to ancient tombs, and they had to do some preparation and gather some information.

This was also why Li Changhe chose to trigger this [Task].

However, as everyone followed the black-robed middle-aged men through the crowd.

Li Changhe’s heart suddenly froze. He instantly dismissed the idea that they were Loulan people.

Looking at the overly grand buildings in the distance.

Each ’sacrifice’ whispered in their hearts, "Fuck! There must have been a plot change!"

How could a small country like Loulan have walls as high as thirty meters? Although Li Changhe couldn’t use [Eagle’s Demon Eye] now, he could still feel the same majestic sensation as when he saw Changan City.

In the distance, there were large forests and lakesides. It should be noted that they were in a wasteland before, and they could even see the desert.

"Brother Ting, can you sense how many people are in there?" Li Changhe hid behind a ’sacrifice’ and contacted Yun Ting.

"How am I supposed to count that? All I know is that there are a lot!" Yun Ting clicked her tongue in his mind, "... A lot. Hundreds of thousands!"

At this moment, hundreds of knights wearing leather armor charged out of the city gates.

The black-robed middle-aged men who had been holding the crowd stopped, and the old man in the black robe at the front laughed and greeted the knights, "Welcome, Whip of God! It’s been a long time since we saw General Tudah. How many cities have you taken this time? Did you bring suitable sacrifices for the Sun King? Don’t hide them for yourself."

"Hahaha, Grand Priest, you jest." The leading knight was a tall, yellow-skinned middle-aged man.

"We have just finished our western expedition. We have lived up to the Sun King’s trust, conquered four western cities, destroyed their armies, killed their kings, and brought their children. We have specially delivered them to you." General Tudah glanced at the ’sacrifices’ behind the black-robed men and laughed, "What? Has the divine ceremony been terminated? Why are there still some left?"

"We just received a divine message from the Sun King. His intention is to let them enter the Sun King’s tomb tomorrow." The old man laughed while stroking the head of a nearby ’sacrifice’ brother, "It’s really enviable. They actually got the qualification to meet the Sun King."

"Meet your head! Go see for yourself! When our [Player] abilities are unlocked again, you try to bring the Sun King out again? Tear him into five pieces to take home as souvenirs, believe it or not?" The [Players] cursed in their hearts.

The ’sacrifice’ was a blond-haired, blue-eyed little boy. Although Li Changhe couldn’t see his expression from the angle he was looking at, judging from his clenched fist, he really wanted to use [Skills] to fight against these people.

Unfortunately, [Player] abilities were locked, and they had no choice but to be manipulated by others for now.

However, the conversation just now revealed a lot of information.

"Whip of God?" Because of the appearance of the cavalry, the black-robed people had moved away a bit, giving the ’sacrifices’ a chance to communicate. [Evolution Game] would only allow [Friends] to be added after the [Task] was completed, and for now, they could only transmit information carefully.

Fortunately, the [Players] were careful, using Chinese, which was far different from the language of the old man and the others.

Even if they were accidentally discovered, nothing would be exposed. If the other party could also understand... then they would switch to another language. After all, [Players] had more or less [Language Skills]

Li Changhe had [Heluo Sound/Min Nan Language]

"Whip of God? Attila?" A black-haired, yellow-skinned boy whispered, "Is the [Plot] set after the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

"After Eastern Han, could Loulan have tens of thousands of entrances? And could they cooperate with the Whip of God?" A brown-haired girl said, "Loulan was a small country with no more than 20,000 people. My [Passive Skill] is Life Detection. There are at least 100,000 people in this city. Not to mention the possibility of other cities."

"Could it be Loulan?" A red-haired boy said, "I’m sure this isn’t the historical Loulan. If they had this population and military power from the Whip of God, they would dare to fight as far as Jerusalem in the west and the east... Oh, they probably wouldn’t go east. They were driven away by the Han."

"It depends on the era... If it’s the Five Hu chaos, they would just be the sixth Hu. If it’s Tang Dynasty, at most they could hit the Protectorate General of the Western Regions."

The boy whose head had been rubbed by the old man turned around, "As the Dalisi Cheng of the Great Tang, I have to give you a big thumbs up!"

Li Changhe, who had been listening to the lively conversation, nodded slightly. They were right.

However, he was somewhat surprised by the red-haired boy calling himself an old lady. Could it be that he was originally a female [Player], but his ’role’ turned out to be a boy?

Li Changhe laughed to himself.

Indeed, such a thing could happen, the malice of the [Evolution Game].

However, when he heard the last boy say that he was the Dalisi Cheng of the Great Tang, Li Changhe paused and whispered, "Moon God?"

Wasn’t the [Moon God] the Dalisi Cheng of the Tang Dynasty during the [Chang’an Plague]?

The blonde boy stared and recognized Li Changhe, daring to ask, "Bai Luohe? Mo Mang?"

Li Changhe couldn’t help but laugh. To just call out the girls’ names, it must be the Moon God! What’s the point of just mentioning the girls’ names?

Li Changhe was about to complain about this guy who prioritized romance over friendship but suddenly fell silent. The voice he had just heard didn’t sound like a boy’s.

He looked at the red-haired boy and thought, could it be?

Then he reached out and touched his own leg...

"Hiss! This is going too far!"
