I have an eye of truth

With the five dangerous strongholds dealt with, the firepower on this side was immediately greatly restricted. Not only did Wang Yang and his team benefit, but other nearby teams also gained advantages.

With the cover of the dense forest, those enemies were simply no match for them.

The sporadic attacks were hardly able to get close to them, and even if they did, they would be blasted away immediately.

However, when they approached within a range of five hundred meters, the situation changed. Because this range was already within the attack range of the shadow monsters.

In a hidden spot ahead, five Red Scale Variants were lying prone, constantly attacking the distant forest with machine guns.

The five Variants' attention was almost entirely focused on the front, and they didn't notice three black things rapidly appearing behind them. They emerged from the shadows beside them, gradually taking shape.

These humanoid monsters instantly stabbed downwards with black blades in their hands, followed by three almost simultaneous screams.

"Damn it, what is this?" The remaining two people who hadn't been attacked were startled by the screams. But as soon as they turned their heads, they saw three black monsters attacking them.

In the next moment, one person's head flew off, and another person's throat was pierced. He could only cover his throat and look at the monster that attacked him with horror, before it turned back into a shadow and disappeared, unable to say a word.

With the continuous attacks of the shadow monsters, even the Red Scale Variants were helpless against these elusive things.

Anyone would be overwhelmed when faced with these fearless monsters that were also usually immune to physical attacks. Among the Red Scale Variants, most had not reached the level of formal professionals, and ordinary people were completely unable to resist the attacks of the shadow monsters.

Each bizarre appearance almost took the lives of several Red Scale Variants.

And the Red Scale Variants could only kill a shadow monster under very lucky circumstances.

As a result, the further the group went, the fewer attacks they encountered, and the attacks became increasingly sparse.

"Although these shadows of yours aren't very strong in attack power, they're really useful. Clearing out the cannon fodder is a really good skill," He Yingxue said, sensing this change.

It was the first time she had discovered that a siege battle could be fought so easily. A powerful skill, when used in a special situation, could indeed produce terrifying results. It was a pity that most of the abilities were of the conventional type, and special types were rare.

Su Xiaoyu also nodded vigorously. Her Shadow Wolves had already appeared on the battlefield, but regardless of their numbers, speed, or even their elusiveness, they were far inferior to these shadow monsters.

Shadow Wolves were not shadows; they were only called that because they were entirely black, walked silently, and were extremely fast, making them look like shadows. But those shadow monsters were shadows themselves.

At first, the Shadow Wolves could still find a few enemies to attack, but later on, they were completely useless.

"Unfortunately, they're no good against stronger opponents," Wang Yang said. "A novice Variant has appeared over there and is running towards us."

Just now, Wang Yang sensed the appearance of a Red Scale Variant, and his shadow monster tried to attack, but was instantly killed.

A layer of red light suddenly appeared on the opponent's body, and the shadow monster was instantly killed before it could materialize and begin its attack. Shadow monsters could avoid ordinary physical attacks before attacking, but they had no way to deal with this kind of energy attack, which could be considered a special weakness.

"Leave it to me. Let me show you my progress during this time."

As soon as He Yingxue finished speaking, Zi Qing, who was preparing to attack, stopped.

In the distance, a red light rushed straight towards them with an imposing aura. He Yingxue didn't care at all. The long sword in her hand suddenly flew up. He Yingxue pinched a sword seal, and the cyan sword burst out with a bright cyan light.

In mid-air, it was like a cyan light bulb. In the next moment, the long sword turned into a rainbow of light.

The Red Scale Variant in front clenched his fist, constantly gathering power, and punched towards the long sword.

It was as if a paper cutter had cut through thin paper. In almost an instant, the first round between the two ended. One arm of the novice Variant flew out of his body.

"As expected of a sword cultivator, that attack power is strong. If it were my attack, this guy could block at least three times," Zi Qing commented from the side, expressing her affirmation.

"But you can complete three attacks in an instant," He Yingxue said.

Then the long sword in the air drew an arc and flew back again. The Red Scale Variant on the opposite side, with red eyes, shouted something and rushed towards this side frantically.

However, his speed was completely inferior to the speed of the flying sword, and he was caught up in an instant. The red light protected his body, but it was still pierced. The long sword pierced in from behind and came out from his chest. The Red Scale Variant saw the tip of the sword, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Okay, let's continue moving forward. The military has arrived, and the Red Scale Variants' attention is now basically drawn to them."

Now was the real time to reap the rewards. The military attracted the main force of the Red Scale Variants, so they could continue to break through and gain more merits.

Not only them, but the surrounding adventure teams who had followed them also realized this.

The people of the War King Legion were even more directly divided into teams, starting a combat method similar to special operations, breaking through in sections in the form of small teams.

As for those with weaker strength, they slowly advanced like the main force of the army.

The military commander looked at the War King Legion, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "That angle and speed, another team trying to pick up cheap advantages. They'll be in for a good show later."

The army didn't care about their behavior of deliberately using themselves as targets. They didn't know that although this method would put the main pressure on the army, it would also attract the attention of the Red Scale Variants.

As long as the Red Scale Variants weren't all idiots, they would definitely be able to see the situation of these guys, and it was uncertain what kind of traps would be waiting for them.

At this moment, the Red Scale Variants had already begun to adjust, and the artillery corps in the rear were faintly shifting, aiming at this position.

Many powerful adventurers, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, rushed through the defense circle one after another, beginning to frantically hunt down all the Red Scale Variants they could see.

This was not only as simple as killing enemies, but also driven by interests.

At this time, Wang Yang also put the gun on his back, drew his long knife, and began to use his martial arts and abilities to kill. At close range, his abilities were still faster at killing.
