I have an eye of truth

Bugs are just bugs, truly disgusting. Even on the battlefield, they're still breeding.

Wang Yang endured the unpleasant feeling as he walked forward. However, these were just small bugs, and his mission was more important.

Crossing the battlefield, Wang Yang finally entered the forest. However, given the situation on the battlefield, no matter how careful Wang Yang was, he became filthy by the time he reached the forest, covered in bug fluids.

Not to mention the smell, which was hard to block even with a gas mask.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for his shadow monsters clearing the way ahead, he would definitely be in a much worse state than he was now. This was the battlefield environment.

"In the future, I must learn a cleaning-type spell when I have the chance."

Wang Yang muttered to himself as he continued forward. By this point, there were hardly any spiders to be seen in the forest.

Along the way, Wang Yang saw a large number of insect cocoons. These were the corpses of spiders and ants, collected by the spiders and re-wrapped in spider silk to be used as spare food.

The insect cocoons were neatly arranged at first. Of course, that was only at the beginning.

Later, some of the insect cocoons became messy, scattered everywhere, not organized at all. It was probably because of the war that there were not enough people, so they were just thrown aside.

They just didn't expect the fighting to be so fierce in the end, with so few left. As a result, they were just left there unattended.

There were also some thrown on the road, or hunting spiders who died next to them while still transporting them. In short, it was a chaotic scene.

Further on, there were even many corpses piled together, probably because they didn't have time to deal with them. In the final battle, many spiders had run out of spider silk, let alone making insect cocoons.

At that time, the war was more important than making insect cocoons. As for these corpses, they would be used if possible, but if not, they would just be wasted. Anyway, there was already a lot of food left, so it wasn't necessary to value them so much.

Wang Yang went deeper into the forest, with the shadow monsters constantly sending him various information.

There were basically no creatures left in this forest. After all, it was the spiders' nest, full of traps made of spider webs. Even if other insects or birds and beasts approached, they would be caught immediately.

Because there was no complete food chain, these hunting spiders targeted other insects outside their territory. Without animals living inside, the only food was other insects.

Of course, from time to time, he could also see birds entangled in spider silk, which had flown in from somewhere.

At first, there were still some dead hunting spiders on the ground, but as he went deeper, the spiders gradually decreased. The entire forest seemed empty, as if there was nothing but trees.

In this kind of environment, it was easy to get lost after walking for a long time.

Fortunately, the shadow monsters were positioning him, so Wang Yang basically didn't have to worry about getting lost.

On the way, Wang Yang also often encountered some half-dead hunting spiders. There were even some large ants that hadn't died and were dragged in, struggling on the ground.

Wang Yang was not polite to these bugs, directly killing them, or having his shadow monsters kill them.

If the distance was relatively far, he would have the shadow monsters take out the crystal cores inside and bring them to him so he could absorb them. If the distance was close, Wang Yang would walk over himself and absorb the remaining power from the corpses as well.

In this way, Wang Yang's Eye of Truth's energy reserves began to increase continuously.

"It's about time, Shadow Trickery is really useful, so let's continue to strengthen it."

Suddenly, Wang Yang stopped. The layout ahead was a bit special, with a large area covered in spider webs. Wang Yang felt like he had arrived at the spider monster's nest.

In order to protect himself, Wang Yang could only go all out and work hard to improve.

So before entering, he should first improve the most useful Shadow Trickery. To deal with a large number of bugs, his Shadow Trickery was much more useful than any other skill.

Streams of energy were integrated into the Shadow Trickery skill under Wang Yang's guidance.

Inside his sea of consciousness, the special rune was constantly changing. Each modification made it thicker and more mysterious. It was just a pity that Wang Yang could only watch and couldn't do anything because he couldn't change anything.

He didn't know how long had passed, but when the skill rune vibrated, Wang Yang had a flash of inspiration and knew that his skill had been upgraded again.

Opening his eyes, the shadow monsters instantly returned to his shadow. After a long time, they reappeared. However, this time the shadow monsters were more condensed than before, and they seemed to have a bit of a solid feel.

They could still transform between shadow and solid form, but they were somewhat different from before.

"Not bad, not bad, now they actually have hearing, and the vision is clearer, comparable to a black and white TV."

Wang Yang carefully felt it. The shadow monsters used to only send him some vague vision, not very clear, but now it was different. The clear feeling was like an old-fashioned black and white TV, with a much-improved resolution.

Moreover, now they barely had hearing, although they might not be able to hear very clearly, they had broken through another barrier again.

If he continued to strengthen them, he would definitely be able to eavesdrop.

The shadow monsters' strength and speed had been greatly improved. Although they were still the unranked type, their essence was indeed different. Most importantly, the number of shadow monsters had increased this time, from one hundred to two hundred.

Even the exploration distance had been expanded again, from the original range of one kilometer to two kilometers.

Now, with this range, his exploration ability was already very good. He believed that even most people at his level would not be able to surpass his exploration ability.

Wang Yang smiled slightly, it felt so good to have his skills upgraded again.

"Then next, it's time to explore the spider's nest. Go, and find out the situation inside."

He had only just touched the edge of the spider's nest, but as the skill's exploration range increased, that place instantly entered his exploration range. A large number of shadow monsters poured in towards that side under Wang Yang's command.

When the shadow monsters started moving, Wang Yang realized that, as the skill's power increased, these shadow monsters were more intelligent than before. Although they still couldn't think for themselves, some instincts had appeared.
