Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

And the madman who had been waiting nearby also rushed out.

Without any hesitation, he snatched the chains from the tiger-headed man and dragged the ten trembling humans back into the wooden door of the back hall.

After obtaining the holy water, the tiger-headed man didn't care at all about the loss of half of his purchasing power.

He clutched the pottery jar tightly to his chest and ran frantically toward his manor.

He needed to gather as many humans as possible in the shortest amount of time, because he knew that if he was any later, the god who stole the crown might raise the price even further.

Even after the tiger-headed man left, the frenzied sacrificial ritual continued.

The doubling of prices did not deter the beastmen's will to survive; on the contrary, it completely ignited the ferocity and madness in their bones.

At this time.

Xu Tian and his companions, who had been hiding in the shadows of the alley, observed everything unfolding and witnessed the beastmen's near-collapse.

"Tsk tsk, prices have gone up so fast."

Chen Xu crossed his arms and couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Tian looked at the orc group whose eyes had begun to turn red.

"The time is ripe. They have built the framework of this play perfectly. Panic, greed, and despair have all been ignited."

Xu Tian turned his head and whispered to the three people behind him.

"It's time for us to step in and add a blazing fire to this grand show."

Xu Tian led the three of them through a dimly lit alley.

Just as they crossed a ditch and were about to circle around to the back of the courtyard where the peak was located, a series of curses suddenly came from the fork in the road ahead.

"Hurry up and leave, you lowly two-legged sheep. We usually feed you chaff and wild vegetables, now it's your turn to repay our kindness. If you delay me from exchanging for holy water, I'll break your legs right now."

With that roar, a burly werewolf covered in long gray fur, panting heavily, emerged from around the corner, one hand gripping a thick, rusty iron chain.

Behind that iron chain, six ragged humans were clearly tethered.

The werewolf didn't care about their lives at all. Even when someone fell, he still strode forward without a care, dragging the fallen humans along the ground.

"They've arrived."

"Take action."

Without any unnecessary words, Xu Tian's voice rang out in the team channel.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly darted out from the dark corner.

Chen Xu and his two companions followed closely behind, forming a perfect encirclement formation that instantly blocked all of the werewolf's escape routes.

The werewolf, preoccupied with getting the holy water to save his life, was completely unprepared for the four orcs to suddenly appear in this secluded alley.

By the time he realized the strong wind was hitting his face, it was already too late.

"Who goes there..."

Before the werewolf could finish speaking, Xu Tian's right leg slammed into the side of the werewolf's knee.

The werewolf's right leg snapped instantly, and his massive body lost its balance, collapsing heavily to his knees.

Before he could even scream, Chen Xu rushed forward from behind, a sharp longsword suddenly appearing in his hand. Without any mercy, he slammed the hilt of the sword heavily onto the back of the werewolf's head.

"boom!"

The blow was so powerful that the werewolf's eyes rolled back, his body went limp, and he lost consciousness completely.

The entire kill was executed flawlessly, without making a single unnecessary sound.

"Niu Niu, first meeting, keep watch around. Old Cat, lead the person into the house next door."

Xu Tian calmly issued the order, while casually picking up the blood-stained iron chain from the ground.

The six human slaves, who had thought they were doomed, were now staring in terror at the four pig-headed men who had suddenly appeared.

In their minds, it was perfectly normal for orcs to steal slaves from each other; they had simply fallen from the hands of one demon to the hands of four other demons.

Chapter 198 Real Feedback

The boy, barely a teenager, was so frightened that he huddled in his mother's arms, trembling violently.

"Don't make a sound. If you want to live, come with us."

Chen Xu deliberately lowered his voice and quickly said something in human language.

The familiar pronunciation stunned the six humans, and a look of disbelief flashed across their previously desperate eyes.

But they had no time to think. Urged on by Chen Xu, they helped each other and stumbled as they followed the four people into a nearby house.

As soon as he entered the house, Niu Niu turned around and left the dilapidated wooden door slightly ajar, cautiously observing the outside through the crack.

Xu Tian turned around and looked at the six compatriots in front of him, who were still in shock and full of vigilance.

Without offering any further explanation, he simply removed his Piglin head from his inventory.

As the helmet was removed, a young, handsome human face with sharp, cold features was instantly revealed to the six humans.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xu, Niu Niu, and Chu Jian also removed their pig spirit disguises, revealing their true forms.

At that moment, the six humans chained together were completely stunned.

Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were slightly agape.

Deep within the Blackrock Fortress, which is absolutely ruled by orcs who regard humans as livestock and food, four humans are lurking.

Moreover, they were equipped with gear and possessed the strength to subdue werewolves instantly.

"you……"

The mother, who was holding her child tightly, trembled uncontrollably, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

"Are you humans? Have you come to rescue us?"

Xu Tian took a deep breath, hung the Piglin Helmet back on his waist, and looked at them calmly and firmly.

"Time is of the essence, so I'll get to the point. We are indeed human. The plague outside and the so-called 'God of the Crown' distributing holy water are all being manipulated by our people in secret."

"The goal is to safely evacuate all of you fellow human beings trapped in the city."

Hearing these words, the six humans were filled with shock and disbelief.

The terrifying plague that paralyzed and drove the entire Blackrock Fortress to madness was actually caused by these few compatriots in front of us.

This completely overturned their understanding.

But at this moment, amidst the shock, what surged into my heart was the ecstatic joy of finally seeing the dawn in endless darkness.

"Wait a minute, we need you to cooperate with us in putting on a show."

Xu Tian's tone became serious.

"This play is related to whether we can drag more orcs into the abyss, and it is also related to whether you can leave here safely."

"You have no other choice but to trust us unconditionally, understand?"

These six humans dared not hesitate for a moment and nodded frantically.

Having experienced that hellish life that was worse than death, let alone acting, they would absolutely rush into battle against orcs without hesitation if there was even a sliver of hope for survival.

"very good".

Xu Tian nodded, then turned to look at Chen Xu and the other two.

“You all know the plan, so I won’t repeat it. Untie their chains, but keep the ropes. We need to go all the way with this charade.”

Chen Xu immediately stepped forward and used his longsword to cut the iron chains, leaving only the rough hemp ropes used for pulling.

After doing all this, Xu Tian turned his gaze to the direction outside the window.

"Put on your heads, we're ready to enter."

At Xu Tian's command, the four of them once again placed the piglin heads on the helmet saddles, transforming back into the lowly orcs who were barely surviving in the lower levels of Blackrock Fortress.

Leading the six humans, they pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and re-entered the dimly lit alley, heading towards the courtyard where the peak was located.

Xu Tian stopped in a dark corner less than two blocks from the courtyard.

He turned around to face the three of them.

"Old Cat, you are the absolute protagonist in this upcoming melodramatic drama. It's time to test your acting skills."

Xu Tian's voice came through the mask, carrying a hint of teasing.

Chen Xu patted his chest, his face beneath the mask radiating excitement and confidence.

"Don't worry, boss. I may not be as good as you guys in terms of fighting, but when it comes to acting, I'm a professional. I won the Best Actor award in the school drama club back in the day. I guarantee I can fool these uncivilized orcs so much they won't know what's going on."

"Okay, let's begin."

Without any hesitation, Xu Tian directly opened the system's inventory and made a thought.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Three glass bottles appeared in his hand in an instant.

These three glass bottles contained a highly poisonous potion, a potion of weakness, and a potion of slowing effect.

Looking at the three bottles of medicine, both Niu Niu and Chu Jian involuntarily swallowed.

Even though I knew it was an item from a game, the visual pressure was still very strong in this holographic simulation environment.

"Are you ready?"

Xu Tian asked in a low voice.

"Come on, let's take them down!"

Niu Niu said.

He nodded firmly upon their first meeting.

Without further hesitation, Xu Tian suddenly raised his hands and smashed the three glass bottles hard onto the stone slab beneath his, Niu Niu's, and Chu Jian's feet.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The sound of shattering glass rang out, and three particle effects exploded instantly, completely enveloping the three of them.
