Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

Chen Xu, holding the precious wooden bowl, suddenly turned around and crawled to the side of the unconscious Xu Tian and the other two.

"Brother, third brother, fourth brother, there's hope! We're saved!"

Chen Xu lifted the back of Xu Tian's head with one hand and dripped the liquid into the gap between Xu Tian's slightly parted lips.

Then, using the same method, he fed the remaining two drops of milk into Niu Niu's and Chu Jian's mouths respectively.

A miraculous scene unfolded once again before all the orcs.

Three white halos erupted from Xu Tian and the other two almost simultaneously.

The light dispelled the ghastly green poisonous spots on their bodies, which then quickly faded away.

The moment Xu Tian felt the negative states in his body being cleared by the system, he immediately let out a long and soothing sigh.

His tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and his bloodshot eyeballs gradually regained their clarity.

"Uh……"

Xu Tian let out a low groan, bracing himself on the ground with both hands. It looked like a lot of difficulty, but he actually sat up steadily.

Immediately afterward, Niu Niu next to him also let out a muffled groan, suddenly opened his eyes, and flipped himself up from the ground, panting heavily, his eyes filled with the confusion of being reborn after death.

Seeing the two people who had regained their vitality, Chen Xu burst into a burst of joyful sobs.

He lunged forward and hugged Xu Tian and Niu Niu, who had just sat up, tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Brother, third brother, you're awake! That's wonderful! I knew the gods wouldn't abandon us. You've finally come back to life."

Chen Xu cried as he forcefully patted the two men's backs.

Xu Tian immediately got into character, hugging Chen Xu tightly, his voice hoarse, filled with the weakness of someone recovering from a serious illness and gratitude towards his brother.

"Second brother, thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you, my third brother and I would probably be going to meet our ancestors. Thank you, second brother."

“Between brothers, there’s no need for thanks. As long as you can survive, even if it takes my life, I won’t flinch.”

Chen Xu patted his chest and roared with righteous indignation.

The three embraced tightly, their deep brotherhood a truly touching sight.

Many of the orcs watching from the sidelines secretly wiped away tears upon seeing this happy ending, their faith in the efficacy of the divine holy water growing even stronger.

but.

Just as the atmosphere was about to reach its peak.

Xu Tian suddenly seemed to realize that something was wrong.

He shoved Chen Xu and Niu Niu away abruptly, his gaze sweeping quickly over the two of them before he looked at the empty ground around him, his tone suddenly becoming anxious.

"Wait, what happened? Why is one person missing?"

Chen Xu was also stunned for a moment, and his mind, which had been clouded by ecstasy, instantly calmed down.

"yes".

Chen Xu slapped his thigh, his voice trembling.

"Where is Fourth Brother? Where did Fourth Brother go?"

The three of them frantically searched the ground.

Then, their gazes all fixed on Chu Jian, who was still lying on the ground less than two meters away from them.

The white light that had first appeared on his body had already faded, and the poison spots had also disappeared. However, unlike Xu Tian and Niu Niu, he did not wake up. Instead, his eyes were tightly closed, and his face was ashen.

This sudden turn of events not only shocked Xu Tian and his companions, but also instantly attracted the attention of all the orcs present.

What's going on?

"Weren't those two brothers instantly full of energy after drinking the holy water? Why is the one on the ground still lying there?"

"Could it be that the person didn't drink enough holy water? Or is he so ill that even the gods can't save him?"

A commotion broke out in the crowd, and the fervor that had previously been unwavering in its belief in the holy water suddenly cracked.

Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Xu Tian suddenly rushed to Chu Jian's side.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, what's wrong?"

Xu Tian reached out and grabbed Chu Jian's shoulders, then began to shake her wildly.

Chapter 201 Setting the Stage

He was incredibly strong, shaking Chu Jian violently on the ground.

"Wake up! Open your eyes and look at your brother! The poison has been neutralized, why aren't you awake yet?"

Xu Tian tilted his head back and let out a desperate roar, a sound so heartbreaking that it could bring tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it.

This heartbreaking scene stunned all the onlookers, including the orcs.

They thought the four brothers would soon be happily going home with the remaining holy water, but they never expected to witness such a heart-wrenching farewell here.

They even began to silently sympathize with the eldest brother who had just been overjoyed at saving his brother, but was now facing the tragic loss of another brother.

At this moment, the peak seat on the high platform also stood up in a very cooperative manner.

He deliberately took two steps forward, revealing a puzzled and shocked expression, staring at Chu Jian lying on the ground as if he had seen some incomprehensible phenomenon.

Chen Xu scrambled to the other side of Chu Jian's face, cupped Chu Jian's face in his hands, and tears streamed down his face like a burst dam.

"Fourth brother, don't scare your second brother! Don't die! If you die, even if the three of us brothers survive, we will never have peace of mind for the rest of our lives."

While crying, Chen Xu pinched the philtrum of the person she had just met.

at this time.

Lying stiffly on the ground, being shaken wildly by her eldest brother and having her philtrum pinched by her second brother, she had to endure the pain of her first encounter with him. It was as if a million grass mud horses were galloping through her mind.

Chu Jian cursed inwardly, but outwardly, he still had to maintain that stiff, lifeless state.

Unable to hold back any longer, Chu Jian could only bring up the private chat panel, quickly type a line of text, and send it to the group chat of the director team of the "Stealing Crown Cult".

[Life is like the first time we met: That's enough, you two. If you keep shaking me, I'm going to throw up. Hurry up and say your lines, stop adding drama to yourselves.]

Upon seeing the pop-up message, Chen Xu, who was crying his heart out, twitched his lips almost imperceptibly, but he clearly hadn't had enough of acting yet.

[Little Cat: No rush, no rush. Let's build up the atmosphere. The more buildup for this kind of life-or-death drama, the more desperate these beastmen will be when the plot twists. Just hold on a little longer, keep your breathing steady, and don't give yourself away.]

【Life is like the first time we met: ...】

Another full half minute passed.

All the orcs were gripped by fear. Several orcs who had already exchanged their holy water and were preparing to leave stopped in their tracks, watching the scene with astonishment and uncertainty.

At that perfect moment, when the heat was just right.

Chen Xu suddenly stopped crying.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes piercing straight at the high priest on the platform.

"No, no."

Chen Xu seemed to suddenly remember something important. He jumped up from the ground and pointed at Chu Jian on the ground like a madman, then at Xu Tian and Niu Niu next to him, and questioned loudly.

"Why? High Priest, please tell me why?"

Chen Xu's voice became shrill.

"Why did my eldest brother and third brother wake up immediately after drinking the holy water bestowed by the gods, full of energy and vitality? But my fourth brother, who also drank a whole drop of holy water, had a flash of white light on his body, and his poison spots disappeared, is still not awake?"

This soul-searching question instantly stirred up a huge wave of discussion among the orcs.

yeah why?

The same holy water, the same people, why are the results so different?

Could there be something wrong with this holy water?

Has the power of the gods failed?

The thought of this possibility filled the hearts of the beastmen who were still queuing to exchange for holy water, as well as those who had already exchanged for holy water but had not yet had a chance to drink it, with panic.

If even the gods can't save them, then what is the point of them paying the price of going bankrupt?

"High Priest, you are still here. You are the spokesperson of the gods on earth."

Chen Xu rushed towards the steps without regard for anything else, grabbed the edge of the stone steps with both hands, looked up at the peak, and pleaded desperately.

"Please, please come down and see my fourth brother yourself. What's wrong with him? Is there any hope for him? Please have mercy and take one last look at him."

Standing atop the high platform, looking down at the panicked orc horde below, he secretly praised the perfect control of the rhythm.

He deliberately put on a solemn and troubled expression, slowly lifted his foot, and prepared to go down the slope to check on the situation at their first meeting.

however.

The moment he stepped off the first step.

The one that had stood behind him for a thousand years, acting as a messenger of the gods, suddenly moved.

"Hmph! You ignorant ants!"

A voice from a thousand years ago, devoid of even a trace of emotion.

He bypassed the peak and kicked Chen Xu hard on the shoulder, who was lying on the steps pleading desperately.

The force of the kick was immense. Although Qiannian controlled the power and did not use any skills, the pure physical attack still sent Chen Xu flying backward, crashing heavily onto the bluestone slab several meters away.

"Uh……"

Chen Xu clutched his shoulder where he had been kicked, curled up on the ground in pain, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

All the orcs were stunned by this sudden action.

The dragon looked down at Chen Xu on the ground from its high perch, its chin slightly open, and its arrogant voice rang in everyone's ears.

"You lowly pig-headed man, who do you think you are, daring to shout and question the grace of the gods?"

"If you haven't recovered after drinking the holy water bestowed by the gods, it's because your souls are filthy, your faith is impure, and your sins are too deep for even the gods to save that worthless soul."

"If you've made a mistake, then get out of here with that dead man. Don't sully the eyes of the gods."
