At the mouth of the volcano, thick smoke billowed and heat waves churned.
"The smell of sulfur here is so strong!"
Sun Mo covered his mouth and nose. Luckily, this was a game. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here even if he was beaten to death.
Hui Yan used animal blood, bones, and stones to set up an altar. He then looked at his tribesmen.
"If you want to activate the altar, you need eight lives to be sacrificed. Now, it's your turn to choose."
Hui Yan looked at his tribesmen. "Are there any who are willing to sacrifice?"
The aboriginals were stunned. They had never heard of such a thing!
"Ch... chief, you must be lying, right?"
Hui Yan smiled awkwardly.
"Powerful enemies are waiting for us, and time is tight. Is there a need for me to lie to you?"
Hui Yan's expression turned cold. He asked again, "Are there any who are willing?"
No one replied.
"Sigh, I knew it wouldn't be so simple!"
Gu Xiuxun sighed.
"Since we are going to sacrifice human lives, why not let Hongyan do it? In any case, their purpose is to stop the volcano from erupting! "
A middle-aged warrior couldn't understand.
"We are enemies with the Hongyan Tribe, and the war has lasted for over a hundred years. Moreover, who can guarantee that their sacrificial ritual will succeed?"
Hui Yan explained, "Every one of our tribesmen is precious. Even if we have to die, we have to die with value!"
The aboriginals fell silent.
Sun Mo understood Hui Yan's difficulty. Although the two tribes had the same goal, the leader was different, and the sacrificial ritual was also different. Neither felt that the other party would succeed.
"Dying on the battlefield, being eaten by wild beasts during hunting, and dying as a sacrifice are all sacrifices for the tribe. There's no difference."
Hui Yan spoke passionately.
Some of the aboriginals were clearly moved. Hui Yan was one of them.
He raised his hand.
"Chief, take good care of my parents!"
"Brother Hui Yan!"
Although Lu Zhiruo had only interacted with Hui Yan for a few months, she liked this honest big brother very much.
"Someone has to be sacrificed."
Hui Yan smiled brightly. "Don't worry, I didn't die. I'm just using another method to protect my tribe and my loved ones!"
"Teacher, think of a solution!"
Lu Zhiruo tugged on Sun Mo's arm, her eyes filled with tears.
Other than Hui Yan, two other aboriginals stood out and volunteered to sacrifice themselves, but it wasn't enough.
"Next, we'll draw lots to choose the remaining five!"
Hui Yan took out the wooden sticks that he had prepared earlier. "I prepared the wooden sticks. In order to be fair, I'll be the last to draw!"
This would prevent Limestone from cheating by making marks.
Everyone's expression turned serious. Some people even began to tremble in fear.
They knew that if they drew the red wooden stick, it would mean death.
"Hurry up and start!"
Limestone urged.
"Chief, is there no other way?"
Sun Mo interjected.
"Do you think I won't feel bad doing this?"
Hui Yan's eyes were bloodshot. During this period of time, he hadn't slept well at all. "If I wasn't the chief and had to lead the tribe forward, I would be the first to stand up and sacrifice my life."
"Don't say anymore, let me do it!"
Someone stepped forward and drew a wooden stick.
For a moment, all sorts of expressions appeared on the faces of the people.
Seeing that there was no red paint on the wooden sticks, their expressions relaxed, but they did not rejoice. Instead, they silently stood to the side.
It was Gray Sparrow's turn.
This warmonger, unfortunately, drew the red wooden stick.
"Why me?"
Gray Sparrow's face was ashen. After that, he felt indignant. "I'm not afraid of dying for the tribe, but isn't this kind of death too meaningless?"
"Maybe this is life?"
Limestone patted him on the shoulder.
"Life my a * s!"
Sun Mo could no longer endure it. He rushed over and punched Limestone's face.
Bang!
Limestone's body swayed, but he didn't retaliate. Instead, he coldly berated, "Prophet Sun, please don't interfere in our tribe's matters!"
"Why didn't you choose to migrate away?"
Sun Mo didn't understand. "Is a place like this worth using eight lives to exchange for a chance to stay?"
"This is our homeland! It's our roots! If we leave this place, our hearts will die! "
Limestone explained.
"Bullshit roots. You are only afraid of change, afraid of the difficulties and unknowns we will encounter on the path of migration. To put it bluntly, you are just a coward!"
Sun Mo retorted.
During this period of interaction, Sun Mo could tell that Limestone was someone who lacked initiative. All his orders were carried out according to tradition. This way, even if the tribe was finished, it wouldn't be his fault.
"Growing mushrooms is very simple. Why didn't you give the order to promote it in the tribe?"
"What danger can there be in raising chickens and ducks? But you didn't bring everyone to catch wild chickens! "
"Even if it's to open up farmland, you don't care. Or rather, deep in your bones, you don't want to see me succeed."
Sun Mo stared at Limestone. "A useless general will tire the entire army to death. In your hands, the tribe will be destroyed sooner or later."
"..."
The color on Limestone's face faded away. It was because Sun Mo was right.
Pak!
Sun Mo took away Limestone's beast-skin bag. After that, he used all his strength and tossed it into the volcano.
"What are you doing?"
Limestone turned pale with fright and hurriedly tried to snatch it back, but it was too late.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The other tribesmen also instinctively brandished their blades. It was because there was only one ice stone left in the bag.
An Xinhui's side also took out their weapons, preparing to fight at any moment.
"Given your abilities, you can totally jump down and catch the bag. Of course, you would definitely die. But if this is the tribe's last hope, why didn't you do it?"
Sun Mo questioned.
Limestone fell silent.
"Using the lives of others as a sacrifice? Since it's your turn now, why are you cowering?"
Sun Mo mocked. "Don't tell me things like you want to host the sacrificial ceremony. Everyone is born by their mother and raised by their father. No one's life is more valuable than the other!"
"Teacher, well said!"
Lu Zhiruo clapped.
"Let's go, let's return to the tribe and migrate!"
Sun Mo glanced at the group of aboriginals. "I don't understand. With a great enemy like Limestone around, you guys are being targeted every day. Why don't you guys migrate?"
"The world is so vast, can't we live anywhere?"
"A man's heart is big and can accommodate the four directions. Why do you guys want to hide in a small hill like this? Are you guys willing to waste your lives like this? "
Sun Mo turned and left, roaring very loudly.
Some aboriginals couldn't understand, but there were some whose eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Sun Mo's words had simply opened up a new world for them!
After walking for over ten meters, Sun Mo stopped and turned back. He roared again, "Let's go back to the tribe and roam the world!"
The aboriginals exchanged mutual glances. After that, someone chased after them.
"Great Prophet, please allow me to follow you!"
"Great Prophet, can you bring me to see the world?"
"Bring me along!"
The aboriginals all followed after them. No one cared about the chieftain who was kneeling on the ground anymore.
Without exception, all of them were moved by Sun Mo's words.
"Teacher is really impressive!"
Lu Zhiruo looked at Sun Mo's back view with a look of worship in her eyes.
"Sun Mo is very impressive, but this choice might not be the right one!"
Zhou Zerui looked at the mouth of the volcano with a worried look on his face.
"Things like sacrificial ceremonies are dregs and should be abandoned!"
After An Xinhui spoke, she chased after Sun Mo.
"Let's take it one step at a time!"
Xie Enhui persuaded her good friend.
Right now, Sun Mo was the group leader. The people in the tribe only listened to him.
"I hate this feeling a lot."
Zhou Zerui felt depressed because his life no longer belonged to him. It was decided by Sun Mo's every choice. If he made the wrong choice, everyone would die.
Everyone gave up on the sacrificial ceremony and left the volcano.
The Limestone Tribe didn't know if they should jump into the volcano to commit suicide or return. But just when they were hesitating, the chieftain of the Redrock Tribe appeared.
He was wearing a black cloak and his face couldn't be seen clearly.
"Return to the tribe? Roam the world? "
The mysterious man sighed. "How tyrannical!"
He still had follow-up methods and could have wiped out the entire Limestone Hunting Group here. However, Sun Mo's words caused him to give up on this plan.
As for this choice, it might cause the game to fail?
The mysterious man didn't consider this. When he did things, he only sought to follow his heart. If he failed, he could only blame it on his bad luck. However, given his intellect, he could guess some tricks to clear the stage.
The reason he was here to ambush the Limestone Tribe was to make them fail and choose to migrate.
A week later, both tribes embarked on the journey of migration.
Another week later, the volcano erupted, causing the earth and mountains to tremble. Even though they were very far away, everyone could still see the scorching lava rushing into the clouds, dying the sky red.
The people of the Limestone Tribe knelt down and prayed to their ancestors.
"Great Prophet, if it wasn't for you, we would all die."
The gray sparrow lowered his head and knelt before Sun Mo, begging for punishment.
"Let's go!"
Sun Mo didn't care about this.
On the way, he imparted his knowledge on botany, beast taming, and herbology to these natives.
A year later, everyone arrived at a plain with fertile soil. With a single glance, they could see a thousand miles of fertile land.
"This is the place!"
Sun Mo decided to settle down here. After that, he taught everyone how to burn and build houses before starting to farm.
Another year later, in May.
The golden wheat swayed in the wind like the waves of the sea.
It was time for the harvest.
After harvesting, Sun Mo made a stone mill and millstone to produce flour.
When the piping hot noodles were scooped out from the pot and the steaming meat gravy was poured over them, the taste was so fragrant that it made people want to swallow their tongues.
"Delicious!"
Lu Zhiruo was grinning from ear to ear as she ate.
"These days aren't bad either!"
Mei Ziyu wiped off the sweat on her forehead. As long as she was with Sun Mo, it didn't matter to her where she was.
During this year, everyone had lived a fulfilling life.
One must know that these people were all great teachers. They had taught the natives what they were good at.
Mining, smelting, pottery, weaving, rearing silkworms, animal husbandry...
Naturally, the most important thing was that Sun Mo had created a unified language, allowing these knowledge to be passed down from generation to generation.
The Limestone Culture was officially born.
"Haha, I feel like I've returned to my childhood!"
Sun Mo licked his lips. "It would be great if there was a popsicle to relieve the heat in such a hot day."
"What is a popsicle?"
Li Ziqi blinked. (Teacher has so many secrets. This can't do, I have to dig them out.)
Just when Sun Mo was planning to change the topic, a voice rang out in everyone's ears.
"Congratulations to everyone for helping the Limestone Tribe break away from the Stone Age and officially igniting the spark of agricultural civilization. The first stage of the mission has been completed!"
"The second stage of the mission will begin in one minute. Please continue to work hard!"
60，
59，
...
The countdown rang out.
Everyone started. After that, they cheered.
(Damn, this lousy game is finally over.)
"There's still the second stage!"
Gu Xiuxun felt a headache.
"Everyone, why don't we hold hands? We might be able to share them later! "
Mei Ziyu suggested.
"That's possible!"
An Xinhui agreed.
Everyone immediately looked toward Sun Mo.
Sun Mo shrugged and declined to comment. "Everyone, listen to me. This stage is to help the Limestone Tribe start a new civilization, allowing the tribe to continue on. In that case, the second stage should be about the same. Everyone, you have to be careful."
Compared to holding hands, Sun Mo felt that telling everyone the main theme of the game was more valuable.
Although there wasn't a difference in quality between the games, honestly speaking, games that involved civilization would still appear to be more high-end.
However, why did this announcement feel like it was from the system?
The teleportation began. Holding hands was useless. Everyone started to disappear from the spot starting from their heads.
"Teacher, look, I've forged a bronze sword."
Limestone held a bronze sword that was over two feet long and excitedly came to show off to Sun Mo. However, he discovered that there was no one else around.
Many years later, the Limestone Tribe had already died out because they built an even stronger city and country. The most glorious one was built by Limestone's descendants.
Their country's name was' Sun ', and they respected' Mo '!
This was to cherish the memory of Great Prophet Sun Mo and pray for his protection.
At the same time, the mysterious man was also teleported.
"Sun Mo, I'm looking forward to our next encounter."
The mysterious man smiled. "But this time around, I'm going to find a way to clear the stage before you!"
...
Sun Mo regained consciousness once again and discovered that he was in a school. He was wearing a long green robe.
He was supporting himself with one hand on the table and reading a history book.
At the bottom of the hall, there were over ten children reading the Three Character Sutra while shaking their heads.
"What the hell? My identity in the game this time around is a teacher? "
Sun Mo observed the surrounding environment. After that, he looked at the patches on his robes and smiled. "Seems like your life isn't that good!"
Dang dang dang!
The sound of a clapper rang out.
The children immediately stopped their reading and stared at Sun Mo anxiously.
Sun Mo was stunned for a moment before he reacted. This meant that the lesson had ended. Hence, he waved his hand.
"Go on!"
Buzz!
The children were like a bunch of wild dogs running away. It was unknown whose shoes had fallen off.
"Should I clarify my identity and situation first?"
Sun Mo got up, stretched, and walked out of the school. After that, he saw a young lady in plain clothes standing in the corridor. She had a bamboo basket on her right arm.
"She's quite pretty!"
Sun Mo couldn't help but take a few more glances because he liked girls from humble backgrounds like her!
Unexpectedly, Lil 'Miss ran over quickly and said to Sun Mo, "Sir, I've made your favorite vegetable cake today!"
"Huh? This is my wife? "
Sun Mo was shocked. The key was that the young lady's eyes were filled with admiration and attachment. This made him very terrified because he wasn't her husband.
If he finished the game and left, what would she do?
