"My God, why are there so many corpses here?”
"From the looks of it, these people are probably being used as sacrifices!”
"Hiss…This is too cruel."
"What kind of country is this? They actually use living people as sacrifices?”
This was the first time everyone had seen such a lineup, and they were still somewhat unable to adapt for a moment.
Jiang Chen stepped forward and said," There's nothing to be surprised about."”
"In ancient times, the countries of the Western Regions were constantly at war. It was common to kill prisoners and sacrifice them. To be able to choose to build a tomb in an underground river and use so many living sacrifices, it just shows that the strength of this country at that time could not be underestimated.”
"According to the information I know, the West Night Kingdom was the only country that had such strength back then.”
"West Night Kingdom?" Professor Chen recalled carefully and suddenly said excitedly,"I remember now. In the ancient Western Regions, there was indeed such a country. The name of the country was West Night. Their king, Prince West Night, was also known as the First War God in the Western Regions at that time!”
"Could this be Prince West Night's tomb?!”
In the Western Regions, not everyone could be buried near a water vein after they died. Only those with extremely noble statuses could choose their mausoleums near the underground river.
If this ancient city was once the West Night Kingdom, then there was no other possibility that this tomb built in the underground river was Prince West Night's.
Professor Chen became even more excited.
At that time, the West Night Nation was the nation that had the closest relationship with Ancient Loulan!
They would definitely be able to find clues about Ancient Loulan in Prince Xi Ye's tomb.
"You can look for clues, but remember not to touch anything.”Jiang Chen nodded and said," The tombs in the Western Regions are different from those in the Central Plains. Once you find anything unusual, return immediately."”
"Good!"
"Don't worry, Big Brother Jiang!"
Then, under Professor Chen's lead, everyone began to explore carefully.
"Strange." Jiang Chen looked at everyone's back and felt like he had overlooked something.
Just as he was about to take a look around.
At this moment, someone beside him suddenly tugged at his sleeve.
Jiang Chen turned around and saw Xue Li Yang walking over.
"Xue Li, what's wrong?" Jiang Chen saw her strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Jiang, I…I saw her again!" Shirley Yang tightly grabbed Jiang Chen's arm and her tone revealed some uneasiness.
"Hmm? Where is it?" Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Previously, Xue Li Yang had fallen into an illusion on the ninth floor of the Monster Tower. At that time, he had guessed that the woman Xue Li Yang had met in the illusion was very likely the legendary Loulan Queen, who was also his mission target.
After all, in the original novel, Xue Li Yang looked exactly like the Queen of Loulan. Jiang Chen wouldn't believe that there was no relationship between the two.
"It's right there…" Shirley Yang pointed at a wall in the corner of the tomb.
Jiang Chen nodded and followed her.
On the wall, there were many human-headed and snake-bodied monsters. These monsters held spears and drove a group of human girls to a huge cave.
At this moment, another woman in a sacrificial costume appeared at the entrance of the cave. She also had a human head and a snake body, but not only was her body larger than those monsters, but she also had an extra eye on her forehead.
Then, as countless girls cried, the woman pierced their eyes one after another and threw them into the hole one by one.
Jiang Chen could tell that this seemed to be a special ceremony, and this woman should be the legendary Queen of Loulan.
"Mister Jiang…" After Xue Li Yang finished looking at the murals, her face turned ashen.""Do you think I'll end up like these girls and be thrown into that bottomless hole?”
"Don't think too much." Jiang Chen patted her shoulder.
He knew that Xue Li Yang was recalling the scene on the ninth level of the demon pagoda.
"Let's not talk about whether the Loulan Queen can really live for a thousand years. Even if she does survive, there must be some restrictions.”
"Otherwise, why would she talk to you in the illusion instead of attacking you directly?”
When she heard Jiang Chen say this, Xue Li Yang's heart was relieved.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Xue Li Yang said gratefully.
Every time she was distracted, Jiang Chen's words could quickly calm her down as if there was a special magic that she couldn't resist.
At the same time, on the other side.
Old Hu and Fatty took a big detour and finally stopped in front of a pillar at the end of the tomb.
"Strange." Fatty touched his chin and asked in confusion,""Old Hu, didn't you say that this was the tomb of a prince? Why isn't there even a coffin?”
"I also feel that it's a little strange." Old Hu nodded and looked at the surroundings of the tomb. His doubts were no less than Fatty's.
Logically speaking, since it was a mausoleum, there should be coffins in both the Western Regions and the Central Plains.
However, the situation now was that they had already circled more than half of the tomb. Other than the strange murals on the walls and the dried corpses on the pillars, they did not see anything related to the coffin.
"Hey, Old Hu, do you still remember the red-haired monster we encountered before?”Suddenly, Fatty seemed to have thought of something and his expression was a little excited.
"Red-haired monster?" Old Hu was stunned.
However, he quickly understood what Fatty meant.
Didn't they not find the coffin when they first entered the ancient tomb of Liaojin?
Later, Fatty accidentally triggered the mechanism and brought the coffin hidden under the stone platform up.
It was the same logic.
Since the coffin could not be found in the tomb above, could Prince West Night have placed the coffin below the tomb?
Thinking of this, Old Hu's eyes lit up.""Fatty, not bad. Why is your brain so good this time?”
"Tsk, I've always been very smart!”Fatty blew at his bangs and said proudly.
"Save it. Aren't you ashamed to say this?”Old Hu rolled his eyes. He had just casually praised him, but this damn fatty was still arrogant!
When Fatty heard that, he immediately said unhappily," You're so good, Old Hu. I've worked so hard to help you analyze so much, and you're still insulting me!"”
"Besides, Lord Fatty is saying that great wisdom appears foolish. Do you understand that great wisdom appears foolish?”
"Forget it, I'm not going to compete with you. Let's go find Little Brother!”
After thinking about the possibility of a hidden mechanism, the first person Fatty thought of was Jiang Chen.
After saying that, he turned around and was about to return.
After taking two steps, Fatty suddenly tripped over something.
"Ouch!"
After a scream, Fatty fell straight to the ground.
In his panic, he subconsciously reached out his hand to support his body, but he accidentally pressed on something.
"Rumble!"
In an instant.
All the stone pillars in the tomb shook violently.
