Chapter 542: Beast King (Subscription Requested)
The church of light acted out of desperation. In fact, their initial strategy against the Herculean Bull Tribe was also a preparation for this day. They intended to use the Bullfighting Tribe to deal with the Herculean Bull Tribe and then have the Bullfighting Tribe become part of the rear guard. During the war, they would strike at the orc tribe from behind, providing a double insurance against the orc tribe.
However, they did not anticipate that Zhao Hai’s appearance would ruin their plans. Fortunately, when they previously poisoned the orc tribe, they did not spare the Herculean Bull Tribe, so their plans could still proceed.
In truth, the cooperation between the church of light and the Bullfighting Tribe was never sincere. Although they wanted to use the Bullfighting Tribe against the orcs, they had no intention of letting the Bullfighting Tribe off the hook. Both the Bullfighting Tribe and the Herculean Bull Tribe were poisoned by them.
Wells was not polite and took the water pouch, directly sending someone to find a shamanic healer. After checking the water in the pouch, the shamanic healer confirmed that there was no problem with it.
When Zhao Hai saw the shamanic healer, he felt quite curious. This shaman was a member of the water buffalo tribe, which was known for producing prophets, shamanic healers, and shamans.
As soon as Wells heard the shaman say the water in the pouch was fine, he immediately found a warrior from the Herculean Bull Tribe and made him drink the water from the pouch. Although the warrior did not know why, he still drank it. Even though he only took a sip, less than a minute after setting down the pouch, he collapsed to the ground, poisoned. While he was not dead, he had completely lost his fighting ability.
Zhao Hai quickly took out a cup of Spatial Water to revive the warrior. He then had all the taurens present drink a cup of that water. Wells naturally did not oppose this; in fact, he supported it. While Zhao Hai had the taurens drink the water, he had already taken the pouch to find the dog-headed tribe.
This sort of thing needed to be done one tribe at a time. If Zhao Hai directly approached the tiger tribe and lion tribe, they would most likely not believe him.
Zhao Hai did not follow Wells to find the dog-headed tribe. Though he had a good relationship with them, he still needed to give water to the taurens, so he left that to Wells.
Upon hearing Wells’ words, the dog-headed tribe was taken aback. They quickly found a warrior from the mastiff race to conduct a test. Just like the taurens, the result was the same. Of course, Wells also brought a pouch of the Spatial Water that Zhao Hai had given him, saving the mastiff warrior.
However, to be cautious, Buzel found a half-orc slave and made him drink a cup of the poisoned water, but the half-orc slave was unaffected.
The half-orc tribe held a low status among the orc tribes and were not a main combat race. They would not waste their poison on half-orcs, so most of the orc slaves had not been poisoned.
After this experiment, Buzel finally believed that most of the orc tribes had been poisoned. He immediately sent someone to invite Zhao Hai, who brought enough water to let the Herculean Bull Tribe watch the orc tribes and have them all drink it.
The Herculean Bull Tribe held a high status among the taurens, and the taurens respected them greatly. Not to mention drinking a cup of water, they would probably agree even if asked to drink urine.
When Zhao Hai arrived at the dog-headed tribe, he quickly relayed the situation to Buzel and then brought out water for the dog-headed tribe to drink. After drinking the water, the dog-headed tribe tried the poisoned water again, and this time no one was poisoned.
Buzel took this matter very seriously. He understood that if the church of light truly used this tactic against the orc tribes, it would be a huge loss for them.
Buzel immediately took the pouch and followed Wells and Zhao Hai to the bear tribe. The dog-headed tribe had no words for the Great War Tribe, but the bear tribe was different. The bear tribe was itself a Great War Tribe, and their words carried weight among the orcs. Thus, Buzel sought out the bear tribe.
