This was clearly something he had just stolen from someone else's house using violence.

The tiger-headed nobleman didn't even glance at the people around him. He walked straight to the peak and shoved the three bloodied humans to the ground.

"High Priest, I have brought the humans, hurry!"

Peak skillfully accepted the man, handed him water, and the tiger-headed nobleman took the bucket, laughed wildly, and turned to rush back into the darkness.

Chapter 209: The Key Was Revealed

Watching the tiger-headed man's departing figure.

Xu Tian stood still, a smile playing on his lips beneath the mask.

"Finally, I've figured it out."

Xu Tian murmured to himself.

And with the successful demonstration effect of the tiger-headed man.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

In that instant, all the orcs seemed to wake from a deep sleep, and suddenly realized what was happening.

They are now facing a dead end.

Most of the lower-class orcs had already exhausted their human slaves in order to obtain the first kind of holy water.

Now they want to exchange it for divine water that requires an entire human being to exchange for just one bucket? That's simply a fantasy.

If they don't rob, they'll just have to wait to die.

What's even more deadly is...

Those nobles, wealthy merchants, or slightly better-off commoners who still keep human slaves in their homes.

At this moment, they were horrified to discover that the way the lowly orcs around them, who did not have slaves, looked at them had completely changed.

It was a look of greed and madness in his eyes.

At this moment, human slaves were no longer symbols of wealth, but rather death warrants.

If anyone still harbors human slaves in their home, then the neighbors who are driven mad by the toxins, and the thugs who would stop at nothing to save their loved ones, will absolutely not hesitate to rush into their home, kill their entire family, and steal the humans who can exchange their lives for theirs.

"Run, run fast!"

A wealthy bear-man who sensed danger looked around at several pairs of eyes that were gradually turning red.

He turned and fled frantically toward his mansion.

He had only one thought in his mind: to hurry home and, before the enemy attacked, bring all those damned human slaves back home here to exchange for the divine water to drink.

Only when you have no inventory left can you be safe.

He ran away.

Those wealthy people, adorned with jewelry and dressed in splendid attire, would not dare to linger here for even half a second longer.

They felt as if at least a dozen pairs of eyes had been staring at them.

If I don't run now, I feel like I'll be stuck in this square tonight.

"Go home quickly and bring all the two-legged sheep over to change their water."

"Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll kill him."

Accompanied by screams of terror and the sound of chaotic footsteps, a large number of orcs who owned slaves rushed out of the square like stray dogs, scattering in all directions.

"They have them, go and rob them."

"Kill to survive."

I don't know who shouted the first sentence.

The entire outer city descended into utter chaos as this group of people poured out.

The ugliest and most insane aspects of human nature were fully unleashed under the threat of death.

The torches were knocked over and set fire to the houses along the roadside.

Everywhere there were desperate screams and fratricidal clashes over the fight for a human slave.

Countless orcs did not die from the so-called plague, but instead perished tragically at the hands of their former friends and neighbors, who mercilessly swung their claws and knives.

At this moment, the entire outer city of Blackrock Fortress truly transformed into a meat grinder filled with slaughter and bloodshed.

Meanwhile, the instigators of this earth-shattering upheaval, including the top figures, watched all of this with cold indifference.

Looking at the city that had been completely engulfed in flames and chaos, the group chat channel of the [Stealing Crown Cult Director Team] in the system UI interface suddenly erupted in excitement.

[Little Cat: Wow, that's amazing! Peak, another birth plan like this, directly turning the wealth these orcs value most, human slaves, into a death warrant hanging over their heads, this is absolutely brilliant!]

[Little Cat: Those orcs who have stockpiled the divine water at home now have no choice but to exchange it. Anyone who dares to let a human stay overnight will be attacked by those scoundrels who want to exchange for the divine water, and their entire family will be wiped out.]

[Peak: Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. The first part of this elaborate scheme, the idea of ​​creating panic about the plague and using the pig-headed human body to deceive people, was conceived by the madman. The latter part was what I perfected based on the situation on the ground. In terms of background, I can only be considered half a genius at most.]

[Life is like the first time we met: Okay, you two brothers are a perfect match. The two players who spawned in this game are actually brothers. Wow, the genes are really strong.]

[The Only One Under Heaven: The situation is now unfolding exactly as we planned. The orcs have gone completely mad. Now, all we need to do is wait here to close the net and wait for them to obediently hand over all the humans in the entire city to us.]

[Crazy: Yeah, you're right. The overall situation is settled. That's pretty much it. My hands are almost sore from recruiting people in the back.]

After finishing their discussion in the group chat, everyone turned their attention back to the center of the square.

as predicted.

Less than half an hour later, orcs began to appear in a steady stream on the main roads leading to the square.

Without exception, almost everyone was covered in bruises; some had broken arms, some were blind, and their bodies were soaked in blood.

But in their hands, they all held onto iron chains that bound humans.

The fervor in his eyes and his desire to survive even overshadowed the excruciating physical pain.

The madmen in the back room who were in charge of receiving patients were also accepted without exception.

He will accept the humans as usual as long as you hand them over.

Then, those on the high platform would hand over the holy water and divine water used to detoxify the orcs covered in blood.

As the rescue operation proceeded smoothly, Xu Tian, ​​who had been relaxed, suddenly felt a sense of unease for no apparent reason.

He frowned slightly and asked a question in the group chat:

[The Only One Under Heaven: Everyone, something's strange. Alec previously stated explicitly that there are powerful orc warriors who can use magic hidden inside Blackrock Fortress.]

[The Only One Under Heaven: But look at us, this city has been turned upside down by us. There's killing and arson everywhere, it's complete chaos. Why haven't those so-called magical orcs shown up yet? This doesn't make sense.]

Upon seeing Xu Tian's question, everyone in the group felt a chill.

[Peak: Oh? There's such a person? Is Alec's information reliable? If there really is such a master, why isn't he stepping out to stop things when the city's foundation is being shaken? I think there's definitely some kind of shady conspiracy involved.]

[Crazy: I also feel something is wrong. Look, most of the lower-level orcs in this city don't have magic power; they can only use physical strength.]

If there were someone who could use magic, in this orc society that reveres strength, they would definitely not be an unknown nobody; they would certainly hold a high position, or even be someone who controls the life and death of this fortress.

Chapter 210 Something's not right.

[Madness: A person sitting in that position, watching his city become like this but not coming out, it's hard not to suspect that he is plotting something in secret.]

He has most likely already discovered us, or he wants to use the chaos we've created to achieve some other purpose of his own.

Chen Xu stroked his chin and replied in the group chat.

[Kitten: That's possible. Think about it, from the very beginning when we used medicine to create cholera, it caused quite a stir.]

Even now, with the tower bombed and the city in riots, he hasn't made any substantial reaction. This old fox is letting you play with these lowly fools in this square. What he's after is definitely not small.

Qiannian, who was standing on the high platform playing the role of the dragon messenger, turned his head slightly and typed in the group chat.

[Millennium: That makes sense. Instead of passively defending ourselves here, why don't we take the initiative and test how deep the water really is?]

Xu Tian looked at the interface. Unknown enemies are the most terrifying, especially those who have been able to endure until now.

Before evacuating, we must identify this destabilizing factor, or at least find out its details.

【The Only One Under Heaven: Okay, we can't let him keep watching us from the shadows. Old Cat, Niu Niu, Chu Jian, let's four go scout ahead and test that guy's reaction.】

Peak, Madman, and Old Six Thousand, you continue to hold this position, keep these orcs in check, and don't reveal any weaknesses. If anything changes, immediately send a signal in the group, and we will provide support at any time.

[Peak: Received. Be careful yourselves. This city is full of lunatics now. Leave this to us. We'll make sure we squeeze the last human out of the city.]

Deployment complete.

Xu Tian and his companions left the noisy square without attracting the attention of any of the orcs.

The outer city of Blackrock Fortress has now completely degenerated into a town that has lost its mind.

The towering flames illuminated the night sky as if it were daytime.

In their struggle for human slaves who could be exchanged for divine water, the beastmen, who once called each other brothers, now turned their knives against one another without hesitation.

Screams and desperate struggles mingled together.

Outside this chaotic vortex, Xu Tian and his companions, using the high walls and the shadows of the buildings as cover, swiftly traversed the intricate city.

Their purpose for this trip was very clear.

Search for the true ruler of this Blackrock Fortress.

The four stopped in a relatively secluded alleyway, which was also marked by signs of battle.

At the end of the alley, several orc corpses lay scattered about, blood slowly flowing from the cracks.

Xu Tian's gaze caught a figure twitching slightly in the corner.

It was a robust bear-headed man, but his appearance was gruesome. His heavy armor was torn apart by some kind of sharp weapon, and most of his body was soaked in blood, clearly indicating that he had just experienced a fierce battle for slaves.

Xu Tian stepped forward and looked down at the dying orc.

"Tell me, how do I get to the City Lord's Mansion?"

The bear-headed man struggled to open his blood-covered eyes, looking at the pig-headed man before him as if grasping at the last straw.

He trembled as he raised his thick, blood-stained arm, pointed in another direction at the end of the alley, and spoke in a weak, feeble voice.
