As if he had been electrocuted, he violently threw away the hands that were resting on Chu Jian's wrists, fell backward to the ground, and gasped for breath.

Everyone looked towards the peak and was startled by the high priest's enormous reaction.

"What's wrong, High Priest? What have you found out?"

Chen Xu grabbed the sleeve of the peak's robe.

What exactly is wrong with my fourth brother? Is he beyond saving?

Peak sat on the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he stammered.

"The plague toxins in his body have indeed been completely eliminated by the holy water..."

"Then why doesn't he wake up?"

Chen Xu pressed for an answer.

"because……"

Peak took a deep breath and said, word by word.

"Because in his body, besides the plague poison, there was another toxin that was hidden very deeply and was even more terrifying."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, not only Chen Xu, but all the orcs present were completely stunned.

"Is there another kind of poison?"

Chen Xu's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

However, there was simply no time for anyone to process this news.

Peak, who collapsed to the ground, seemed to have been suddenly subjected to some intense stimulus.

He suddenly sprang up from the ground and pounced on Niu Niu, who was standing to the side and had just woken up.

"Don't move, let me see."

Without a second thought, Feng Dian grabbed Niu Niu's wrist, his fingertips gleaming, and pressed down on his pulse point.

Only two seconds passed.

Peak suddenly flung Niu Niu's hand away and shouted.

"Yes, you also have that hidden toxin in your body, and it has already begun to penetrate deep into your bone marrow."

Before Niu Niu could react, Dian Feng, as if possessed, suddenly turned around, grabbed Xu Tian's wrist, and forcibly began to examine it.

"This is impossible..."

Feeling the feedback from Xu Tian's pulse, Feng Dian's body trembled violently.

He let go and staggered back two steps.

"You have it too. Why do all three of you have this latent toxin in your bodies? Where did this pollution come from?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

All the orcs went mad.

"High Priest, are you sure you're not mistaken? They've clearly drunk the holy water and are fully recovered."

"How could there be another kind of poison? What's going on?"

Faced with the overwhelming questions and panic around him, Feng Dian could only shake his head in anguish, as if he were helpless.

And just then...

Another unexpected change occurred.

"Ugh!"

The ox, which had been standing there peacefully, listening to the high priest's words, suddenly let out a scream.

He covered his chest with both hands.

His eyes suddenly rolled upwards, revealing large areas of white, and his body began to convulse violently.

"Third brother".

With lightning speed, Xu Tian caught Niu Niu in his arms just as he was about to fall, and then carefully laid him flat on the ground.

At this moment, white foam kept gushing from Niu Niu's mouth, and his condition looked even more terrible than when he was poisoned earlier.

This vivid and tragic scene of the disease completely shattered the last shred of hope in the hearts of all the orcs present.

Those orcs who had just been doubting the high priest's diagnosis were now completely speechless.

Xu Tian knelt on one knee beside Niu Niu, his eyes bloodshot. He suddenly raised his head, stared at the peak, and roared hysterically.

"High Priest, tell me, what exactly is going on? If the holy water can't cure the poison, then what's its purpose?"

Peak looked at Niu Niu convulsing in pain on the ground and sighed deeply.

He turned around and faced the terrified orcs in the room, and explained.

“You have misunderstood. The holy water bestowed by the gods is absolutely pure. Just now, it did perfectly cure the first type of weakness poison that you were infected with due to the plague. It was the poison that was visible to the naked eye and caused you to grow green spots.”

Chapter 204 is still a lie.

"but".

Peak's tone suddenly became more forceful.

"The reason you have become like this is because what broke out in Blackrock Fortress was not a simple plague, but a double curse."

"The holy water of the gods can only cleanse one kind of filth, while the other kind of deadly poison hidden deep in your blood has now completely erupted because the first poison has been removed from its suppression."

Xu Tian suddenly stood up, pointed at the werewolves in the crowd who had been healed first, and loudly questioned them.

"If everyone is suffering from the same double poison, then why are they all fine after drinking the holy water, still alive and kicking? But we pig-headed people, not only is one of us still unconscious, but now another one has collapsed?"

Upon hearing Xu Tian's question, all eyes immediately turned to Lang Xiaoyue and his family members.

The werewolves were also completely bewildered.

Peak gave a bitter laugh, a laugh filled with helplessness.

"It's simple, because you are pig-headed people."

Peak looked at Xu Tian, ​​his tone calm.

"Among the entire orc race, we pig-headed people are the weakest. The weaker our constitution, the lower our resistance to this hidden toxin, and the faster the poison takes effect."

"So, your fourth brother, because of his weakest constitution, died directly from the poison without waking up, and he, because of his weak constitution, has collapsed now."

"As for those werewolves, and all the strong orcs present..."

He paused for a moment, his eyes filled with compassion.

"Don't think that just because you're alright now, you've escaped a disaster. You're just physically strong and have managed to suppress the toxins in your bodies."

"Once this toxin has completely eroded your internal organs, your fate will be even more miserable and painful than that of these pig-headed men."

"boom!"

Upon hearing this, all the orcs' psychological defenses completely collapsed.

What do you mean?

The high priest meant that they themselves also harbored this deadly hidden toxin within their bodies.

The holy water I just drank not only failed to save my life, but instead became a death warrant because it disrupted the balance of toxins.

"No, I don't believe it, High Priest, you're lying."

The werewolf named Wolf Howling Moon no longer possessed the fervor and piety he had shown moments before.

He charged forward like a mad wolf, recklessly stretching his wrist towards the peak.

“Look, show me, I’m so strong, I’m definitely not poisoned.”

Peak didn't speak, but simply placed his hand on his pulse. A second later, Peak shook his head and uttered three words with a pained expression.

"It contains toxins."

Wolf Howling Moon felt as if struck by lightning; his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the beastmen who had been overjoyed after drinking the holy water rushed forward like madmen, surrounding the peak and stretching out countless hands, crying and begging him to take a look.

"High Priest, look at me, am I poisoned?"

"I just drank holy water, am I going to die too?"

Peak constantly weaves through the crowd, taking the pulse.

After each pulse diagnosis, his answer was invariably those three words of despair.

"There's toxin in you, and yours too. The toxins in your body have started to spread..."

As one bad news after another came out.

Panic erupted at Blackrock Fortress.

Desperate cries and heart-wrenching curses transformed the entire outer city into a living hell.

They gave everything they had, only to receive a suspended death sentence in return.

Seeing this, Xu Tian knew it was time to throw out the final bait.

He knelt down again, looked up at the high priest on the platform, his voice filled with a longing for life and a final plea.

"High Priest, since you can identify this poison, you must have a way to cure it, right? How can we get rid of this poison? I'll go through fire and water to save my brother."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's question, the desperate orcs around him seemed to grasp at a straw, and they all quieted down, staring at the peak.

Peak took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone.

"This kind of toxin that penetrates deep into the bone marrow is almost incurable in this world. The only way to delay its onset is to start now and drink plenty of the purest, unpolluted water every day to constantly flush out and suppress the toxin. But this can only save your lives for a little over ten years."

"Pure water source?"

Chen Xu immediately responded, a glimmer of hope appearing on his face.
