Chapter 171 Yellow Liquid
"who?"
The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the outer Taoist alliance guards, and they all rushed over here.
"Hurry! We have to leave here immediately and we can't let them find us!"
Ximen Tianyu, who noticed the movement, shouted to his companions, his eyes full of urgency.
However, the yellow liquid seemed to have a strange magical power. Once it touched the skin, it quickly spread on it, making a hissing sound. The brothers who were stained with the liquid showed pain on their faces and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
"What the hell is this stuff?!" One of them wailed in pain and tried to wipe it with his hands, but found that the liquid seemed to have life and appeared more the more he wiped.
Ximen Tianyu was extremely anxious when he saw this. But he didn't dare to touch it easily. Realizing that the Dao League guards were getting closer and closer, Ximen Tianyu had no choice but to jump alone and hide in the bushes not far away.
Using the complex tree shadows and his own concealment skills, Ximen Tianyu temporarily avoided the guards' sight. He held his breath and stared through the dense gaps between the leaves, staring closely at his companions who were invaded by the yellow liquid and in great pain, as well as the Taoist guards who were gradually approaching.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into the forbidden area of the Dao League?"
The guards of the Taoist Alliance arrived in the rear one after another. The leader glanced at the few people with a sharp gaze and questioned them in a stern voice.
His voice echoed in the empty periphery of the ruins, and he was clearly wary of these uninvited guests.
However, when the few people who were contaminated with the yellow liquid saw the Taoist Alliance coming, their first reaction was not to retreat, but to rush towards the Taoist Alliance guards regardless of anything. Their pupils had turned into a hollow golden color, as if they had been deprived of their sanity by the yellow liquid, leaving only the most primitive instincts.
"Stop them quickly!"
The leading guard had not expected that these people would fight as soon as they met, and after being shocked, he immediately ordered his men to surround them. However, those corrupted Brotherhood members seemed tireless, their strength increased greatly, and their movements were extremely agile, so even the well-trained guards of the Dao Alliance could not easily subdue them.
Ximen Tianyu hid in the dark and witnessed this scene, his eyes suddenly fixed. He knew that these companions had not done it on purpose, but were controlled by the unknown yellow liquid and became unconscious attackers. But the reality was cruel, he could not sit idly by, let alone put himself in danger.
Ximen Tianyu clenched his fists, struggling internally. The current situation was completely out of his control, so he could only continue to hide here and observe what would happen next.
As time passed, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly tense. The battle between the Brotherhood members controlled by the yellow liquid and the Dao Alliance guards became increasingly fierce, with casualties on both sides, but it was clear that the controlled members had the upper hand with their abnormal strength and speed.
Fortunately, the Dao League guards who were originally transferred by Shi Feiyang also rushed back, which instantly reversed the situation. They were numerous and well-trained, and soon formed a siege, surrounding the Brotherhood members who were controlled by the yellow liquid.
The Brotherhood members who were controlled by the yellow liquid seemed to be desperate. Even when they were surrounded, their attacks became more and more fierce, completely disregarding their own safety. A strange light flashed in their golden pupils, as if they were no longer human, but puppets driven by some evil force. The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and casualties soon occurred. The spirit sword of a Taoist League guard pierced the chest of a Brotherhood member, but the member seemed to feel no pain. He still screamed, holding the sword tightly with both hands, and pulled it out of his chest with force. Blood gushed out, staining his clothes and the surrounding land red. This scene shocked everyone present. The power of the yellow liquid was so terrifying that it could make people lose their minds and forget about life and death.
Fortunately, these yellow liquids could not turn the brotherhood member into a superman. As a large amount of blood spurted out from the wound on his chest, the brotherhood member fell down in just two or three breaths.
The Taoist Alliance guard who was originally frightened just breathed a sigh of relief, and the yellow liquid that possessed the brotherhood member's body seemed to have found a new host. It quickly left his body, turned into a yellow stream of light, drew a strange arc in the air, and then suddenly rushed towards the nearest Taoist Alliance guard.
The guard obviously had not anticipated this sudden change, his face suddenly changed, and he wanted to dodge but it was too late. The yellow liquid instantly attached to his body and began to erode his body crazily. His expression gradually changed from fear to pain, and golden empty pupils gradually occupied his eyes, indicating that he was about to become the next puppet to be controlled.
"Quick! Stop him!"
Seeing this, the leading guard shouted loudly and quickly drew the sword behind him, trying to subdue his controlled companion.
However, the guards controlled by the yellow liquid moved extremely swiftly, as if they had completely lost their sense of pain and fear. Their strength was also doubled, causing the leading guard's attacks to repeatedly miss.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding guards gathered around and tried to suppress the out-of-control companion with their numbers advantage, but their movements were obviously not as agile and brutal as those of the guards possessed by the yellow liquid.
"What the hell is this!"
The leading guard was horrified, he had never seen such a strange power before. He knew that if he could not find a way to break it in time, the whole team would be doomed.
This question also troubled Ximen Tianyu in the bushes. He stared at the changes on the battlefield, feeling extremely anxious.
"We must find a solution. Otherwise, if we allow this yellow liquid to spread, the consequences will be disastrous."
Ximen Tianyu thought to himself, he knew that he couldn't just sit there and do nothing. Although he didn't know the specific source and nature of the yellow liquid, his intuition told him that there must be some major secret or conspiracy behind it.
He quickly recalled everything he had learned in his mind, trying to find a way to crack the yellow liquid. At the same time, he began to observe every detail on the battlefield, hoping to find some clues.
Unfortunately, even with the power of the heart mirror, Ximen Tianyu still couldn't analyze the composition and source of the yellow liquid. The liquid seemed to have its own will, able to distort reality and control living beings. The power behind it was far beyond his cognition.
Just as Ximen Tianyu fell into deep thought, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly critical. Every time the Taoist Alliance guards killed a brotherhood member controlled by the yellow liquid, the strange liquid would look for a new host like a maggot, making the battle even more brutal.
