After the offering was accepted, Peak closed his eyes again, formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and began to rapidly recite that meaningless prayer.

This time, all the orcs held their breath, staring at Peak's hands.

About half a minute later.

Suddenly, the space in front of his previously empty hands began to distort.

Then, under the gaze of hundreds and thousands of shocked eyes.

Three iron tubes, crafted from iron blocks, appeared out of thin air in the hands of the peak master.

These three buckets may not look big, but they are filled to the brim with pure water without a trace of impurity.

This is worlds apart from the well water in Blackrock Fortress.

Just taking a sniff of the fresh, watery vapor emanating from afar is enough to cleanse your soul.

"A miracle, it really is divine water!"

"Such pure water, I have never seen such clean water in my life."

The beastmen gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with longing.

Peak walked down the steps expressionlessly and placed the three buckets in front of Chen Xu one by one.

"Drink it, and the grace of the gods will completely wash away the misfortune from your body."

Xu Tian and Chen Xu's lips twitched slightly when they saw the familiar game props, but they had to keep up the act.

Xu Tian immediately pretended to be overjoyed, hugged the bucket with both hands, and frantically poured the water from the bucket into his mouth through the gap under his mask.

On the other side, Chen Xu appeared extremely anxious.

He picked up a bucket and went to the side of Niu Niu, who was still convulsing.

"Third brother, hurry, drink it down, you'll feel better once you drink it down."

Chen Xu pried open Niu Niu's mouth with one hand and roughly poured the bucket of water down with the other. A large amount of water overflowed from the corners of Niu Niu's mouth, but most of it was still poured into his throat.

After filling Niu Niu's mouth with water, Chen Xu quickly picked up the last bucket and stumbled to Chu Jian, who was lying motionless, and poured the entire bucket of water into Chu Jian's mouth.

The moment those pure divine waters entered their bodies.

Niu Niu, who was convulsing and foaming at the mouth, suddenly stiffened.

Immediately afterwards, her breathing gradually became steady.

And Chu Jian, who had been lying on the ground and was thought to be dead by everyone.

After being forced to drink that bucket of water, it actually let out a faint cough.

"Cough cough..."

With that cough, Chu Jian's eyes, which had been tightly closed for a long time, finally opened slowly with a tremor of her eyelashes.

Chu Jian opened his eyes, feigning confusion as he looked around at the dumbfounded faces of the orcs, then fixed his gaze on Chen Xu, whose face was covered in sweat, and asked in a weak voice.

"Second brother, where are we?"

The moment Chu Jian woke up, the entire audience erupted in excitement.

I'm really awake.

The effects of this divine water are simply miraculous.

Chen Xu looked at Chu Jian, who had just woken up, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

He hugged Chu Jian tightly, then turned to look at Xu Tian and Niu Niu, who had fully recovered and were sitting up from the ground, and let out a wild laugh that shook the heavens.

"It's alright, it's all alright, eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, we've all survived."

Chen Xu laughed as he roughly wiped the tears from his face with the back of his hand.

His excited appearance completely put the last stone in the hearts of the beastmen around him who had been doubting.

Since this miraculous water is truly effective, what do they have to fear?

As long as there are humans, this life-saving treasure can be obtained.

however.

Just as all the orcs were immersed in the frenzied atmosphere of finding a lifeline, and just as Chen Xu was preparing to stand up from the ground with a big smile on his face.

An anomaly has occurred.

"Uh……"

Chen Xu had just straightened halfway up his body when he let out a painful groan.

The smile on his face froze instantly, his eyes widened suddenly, and his pupils became bloodshot.

He clutched his own throat with both hands.

"boom!"

Under the watchful eyes of all the orcs, Chen Xu, who was full of energy just a moment ago, suddenly fell straight backward.

"Second brother".

Xu Tian, ​​who was closest to him, reacted quickly and lunged forward, catching Chen Xu in his arms just as he was about to hit the ground on the back of his head.

At this moment, Chen Xu's condition was simply appalling.

On his skin, ghastly green poisonous spots appeared rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, his body also began to convulse violently and uncontrollably, just like Niu Niu had done earlier, and he was spitting out large amounts of white foam from his mouth.

He was poisoned, and two toxins were activating simultaneously in his body.

Xu Tian held the convulsing Chen Xu tightly, filled with shock and disbelief. He suddenly raised his head and roared at the peak of the platform.

"High Priest, what exactly happened? My second brother didn't drink any of that contaminated well water, so why was he poisoned? Why?"

Faced with Xu Tian's questioning, all the orcs present were stunned.

Yes, this pig-headed man was busy trying to save his brother, and everyone saw him do it; he didn't touch any water at all.

If the toxin is only present in water, how could he possibly be infected?

Peak looked at Chen Xu, who had collapsed into Xu Tian's arms, closed his eyes tightly, and let out a sigh.

“Foolish believer, do you think that the double curse is simply spread through water?”

Chapter 207 Snatching People

The voice of the pinnacle resounded in the ears of every orc.

"You are wrong, terribly wrong. When the contaminated well water flowed and evaporated in this town, the terrible plague toxins had already seeped into the air."

"This poison not only spreads through water sources, but also takes deep root in your lungs with every breath you take through this polluted air."

Peak suddenly pointed at all the orcs present and loudly proclaimed.

“Everyone here, with every breath you take, is inhaling this deadly poison. The only reason the poisoning is acting up is because you haven't been drinking large amounts of contaminated water. But he…”

Peak pointed at Chen Xu.

"He ran back and forth in this toxic square to save you, and his strength was severely depleted. His already weak constitution could no longer suppress the toxins that had entered through the air, and he completely broke out."

Peak's words exploded in the minds of all the orcs.

Airborne transmission?

Can you get poisoned by not drinking water?

Doesn't this mean that every living creature standing in this Blackrock Fortress, including the orcs who are hiding in their homes, is already infected with this terrifying double poison as long as they are still breathing?

Fear, an unprecedented fear, instantly overwhelmed everyone's reason.

Those beastmen who had thought they would be safe as long as they didn't drink water indiscriminately were now all terrified and covered their mouths and noses, as if the air they usually relied on for survival had now turned into sharp knives.

But who can stop breathing?

The moment you let go, that deadly air will rush into your nostrils.

"It's over, we're all going to die..."

"The air is poisonous, there's no use hiding anywhere, even if you escape the city, you're doomed."

"Humans, we need more humans in exchange for the divine water, only the divine water can save us."

Just as the orcs were gripped by endless panic.

Xu Tian, ​​lying on the ground, held the convulsing Chen Xu tightly.

"What should we do? What should we do..."

Xu Tian deliberately lowered his voice, muttering to himself in a desperate tone that the surrounding orcs could just hear.

“We’ve used up all the humans in the family. We don’t even have a single two-legged sheep left. We can’t get any more holy water or divine water. Am I just supposed to watch my second brother die…?”

Hearing this desperate murmur, the beastmen around, who also had no human reserves, felt a deep sense of sorrow and empathy.

They are now facing the same situation as this pig-headed man.

Without humans, they can only wait to die in this city filled with poison gas.

but.

Just when everyone thought this poor pig-headed man was about to completely break down.

Xu Tian suddenly stopped crying.

He gently placed the convulsing Chen Xuping from his arms onto the stone slab.

Then, he slowly stood up.

As he straightened his body, a chilling aura, completely different from his previous humble and cowardly demeanor, and a murderous intent that seemed almost tangible, suddenly erupted from his body.

Xu Tian turned around, his gaze slowly sweeping over the group of orcs in front of him, their faces filled with despair.

The sinister smile on Xu Tian's lips was growing ever wider.

He spoke in a frenzied, seductive voice, enunciating each word clearly.

"No, we still have a way, there must be a way."
