1345: C1345 Water Shadow

C1345 Water Shadow

"What did you say?" Zhou Yi didn't react for a while. What did that orc say?

What did he mean by that thing had been lurking in his body for so many years?

Weren't these things discovered recently? How could it have lurked in his body for so many years?

Zhou Yi's gaze swept across the beastmen slowly, "Tell me, what happened?"

The orc nodded, and told Zhou Yi about three years ago.

He's been living here with his wife since he found this place a hundred years ago.

Three years ago, by this stream, the Beastmen found a black shadow.

At that time, he had gone to the stream to retrieve some water, but he saw a black shadow in the distance.

Furthermore, he discovered a strange phenomenon. After a lot of Young Beast s drank water in the surrounding area, their bodies would become stone blocks before they even left the surroundings of the small stream.

Surprised, the orc took all the water he had prepared and returned to the stream.

He then walked towards the black shadow.

But when he walked closer, he could no longer see what was in the stream, because at that moment, the stream became extremely clear again.

However, the orcs felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.

He bent down and brought his eyes close to the stream, wanting to see what was underwater.

Because of his actions, a shadow sprang out of the stream and into his eyes.

In that instant, his eyes were in extreme pain.

It was as if thousands of steel needles had pierced into his eyeballs at the same time. Other than the pain, there was also a slight numbing sensation.

Strangely, this feeling slowly disappeared after about ten minutes.

Everything around him returned to normal. Even the pain he'd felt just now had been like an illusion.

He circulated the energy within his body and circulated it around his entire body. He did not discover anything unusual happening to his body.

Afterwards, he could only treat this as a small episode. He turned around and continued to fetch water from the stream.

However, when he went back to the place where he had just retrieved the water, a Young Beast ran over to the stream and drank some water.

When she was full, her body instantly stiffened and she fell into the river.

At this point, the Beastmen finally understood that what they had just encountered was definitely not an illusion, and it was all real.

Then what exactly was it that had entered his body?

The beastmen were extremely afraid. They sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating the energy within their bodies over and over again, combing through their body.

However, no matter how hard he tried, everything was normal inside his body.

Helpless, he could only turn around and walk back.

When he returned home, his wife would naturally nag him.

"Even if I told you to go out and get some water, you could still fight like this. It's really amazing." The orc's wife snatched the bucket and walked out of the cave.

He was frozen in place for a good five seconds before reacting. Then, he chased after her.

"The water in my wife's stream can't be used because he's been poisoned." The orc hurriedly explained to his wife from behind.

His wife knew that the Beastmen would not make such a joke for no reason, so she asked with a serious face, "What happened exactly?"

The orc replied honestly, "I don't know what was mixed into that stream. I saw those small animals all stiffen up after drinking it, and I don't know if they can recover after that."

"Such a thing actually happened? "Then what if we drink water in the future?" The orc's wife realized how serious the problem was.

The orc thought for a moment. "There is a mountain spring not far from here. I'll see if there are any problems there. If possible, we can only go there to get water."

The orc's wife nodded, then passed the bucket in her hands to the orc, "Hurry up and come back, I'm still waiting for water."

The beastmen turned around and left, and in a short while, they arrived at the mountain spring.

Just as he was about to bend down to retrieve the water, his brain seemed to explode at that instant. An enormous pain immediately invaded his entire body.

He even had the urge to smash his own head into pieces.

He knew that this was definitely the aftermath of the black shadow.

However, he tried to search around his head, but he was only able to return empty-handed in the end because he did not find any suspicious energy.

However, the intense pain was not fake.

The pain lasted for nearly ten minutes before it slowly faded from his brain.

The beastmen felt as if their entire body had been washed by water.

He stood up shakily and took out a bucket of spring water from a mountain spring. Then, he poured all of the spring water on himself.

The cool spring water slowly flowed down his body, and the somewhat blurry state of mind of the orc that was tormented by pain finally recovered.

"What is it?" The orc mumbled to himself.

Afterwards, he poured all of the water into a few stone grooves at the side.

After a while, some of the Young Beast in the mountain had a drink of water. They drank the water that the beastmen had poured into the trenches without any trace of politeness.

After eating their fill, they openly left without any problems.

Only then did the orc relax and fetch two full buckets of water before leaving the area.

Although the water problem had been solved, the orc's illness was buried inside his body like a time bomb.

Moreover, the attack had no pattern at all.

Not only had he searched for many doctors in the world of Strange Beast, he had also gone to the human world's hospitals to undergo various examinations, but there were still no results.

Every time he felt pain, he would wish he were dead. He wished he could run into a wall and die.

This time, he got sick and was about to go to his wife to have a baby. He had wanted to go outside and find a doctor, but he got sick on the way, so he had to find a place to hide.

As a result, when he left in a hurry, he was discovered by Ju Zhong, who was on patrol.

However, it was good that Ju Zhong found him. That way, he would be able to meet Zhou Yi and cure the disease that had troubled him for many years.

"You mean, it was in the stream that Ju Zhong drank from that time that you found the problem?" Zhou Yi was also extremely surprised.

The orc nodded, and then he said, "And from then on, I investigated that black shadow and found that it contained demonic energy. However, that thing disappeared without any warning."2

"Then you said that the child's body …"

"That's right. One time when I was sick, my wife came over to help me. She saw a black shadow jump out from my body and enter her stomach."

Saying that, the orc wanted to kneel down in front of Zhou Yi again.

He had been looking forward to the moment when his child would be born, and one of them was actually problematic. How could he accept this?

"Forget it, let's think of a solution together." Zhou Yi supported the orc and then spoke...
