I have an eye of truth

The dense forest was not suitable for large-scale movements, so in the end, only they were left.

Besides, most of the tasks didn't actually require their involvement; Wang Yang's Shadow Assassin team could handle everything.

A large number of Shadow Assassins were distributed around, so Wang Yang would notice any disturbance immediately.

Meanwhile, Wang Yang walked ahead, leading the team, while Lingling guarded the rear.

Li Shuang also had many puppets, but firstly, their strength was relatively weak, and secondly, their flexibility was poor, making it impossible for them to move quickly.

So, in the end, he simply put them away and didn't use them at all.

Otherwise, having so many puppets around would be no different from moving with a large army.

"I've found some Orcs; there are quite a few Orcs here." Wang Yang issued a warning as soon as they entered the forest.

In the forest ahead, an Orc was chasing a wild boar, their prey.

But before long, the wild boar was targeted by other Orcs.

Suddenly, an axe flew from the forest, splitting the wild boar's head open, and things blew up.

More than a dozen Orcs ran out from who knows where, and without saying a word, they started fighting directly.

However, they were quite disciplined because these Orcs didn't use weapons; it was purely hand-to-hand combat.

It seemed they wanted to use this method to decide who had the right to the prey.

Having lived in this forest all their lives, they also had rules; otherwise, they would have perished long ago.

But before these guys could settle the dispute, suddenly the surrounding shadows expanded, turning into humanoid assassins, who stabbed their long knives into the chests of these Orcs.

Wang Yang had already prepared to eliminate them when he discovered them.

"Be careful not to create too much bloodshed," Zi Qing reminded.

"I know." Wang Yang nodded lightly; after all, this was a forest, and the smell of blood wouldn't dissipate so easily.

If it all remained in this place, it would indeed cause a lot of trouble.

If it attracted a large number of animals and exotic beasts, it might even lead to a beast tide, or even an Orc tide.

But it was easy to handle; those Shadow Assassins could casually grab a handful of soil from the ground and cover the Orcs' wounds.

As long as it didn't cause a riot within a certain period, there wouldn't be any problem.

If it was just one or two prey, it would be fine, but the key was that Wang Yang killed many.

As they continued forward, Orcs appeared from time to time, and there were more and more of them.

In the end, there were even Orcs who had reached the level of elementary warriors.

These Orcs were not easy to kill; even with the Shadow Assassins taking advantage of the dense forest environment, they still suffered significant losses.

Just like the Orcs outside, if these Orcs didn't use crude force, his Shadow Assassins would definitely not be able to kill them so easily.

Even so, his Shadow Assassins still had to die a dozen or so times to kill one elementary Orc.

Because of the losses of the Shadow Assassins, the speed of advance slowed down.

After all, it took some time for the dead Shadow Assassins to recover.

If the speed of advance was too fast, his Shadow Assassins wouldn't be able to keep up.

"Teaming up with someone like this makes all kinds of tasks so easy," Xue Qiao said, speechless, looking at Wang Yang.

From the beginning of the battle until now, almost all the tasks had been contracted by Wang Yang alone.

No wonder someone like this was being pulled into the army by Yingxue.

To be honest, he also wanted to pull someone like this into his city.

But this guy's ability was too strong, so forget it.

If he really pulled him into his city, what kind of treatment would he give him?

Although Xue Qiao wasn't the city lord, he had learned a lot from being by his brother's side for so long.

Wang Yang didn't know what these people were thinking; he was currently calculating the number of Orcs he had killed, the number of Shadow Assassins remaining, and when his Shadow Assassins would recover.

These were all big problems.

In fact, Wang Yang's route of advance was not a straight line.

Along the way, the Shadow Assassins secretly transported the corpses over and placed them nearby, and Wang Yang would go over and absorb some energy.

Of course, this was based on the condition that no one else discovered it.

The puppets were not flexible enough, so Li Shuang's reconnaissance ability was rendered useless.

Su Xiaoyu, another person with strong reconnaissance ability, was persuaded by Wang Yang not to release her summons.

The reason was to save power and not waste it unnecessarily, and also not to let her summons become prey for other exotic beasts, since this was still a relatively dangerous forest.

If it weren't for this, his losses along the way would have been great.

However, this secretive approach still caused Wang Yang to lose a large portion of his energy, after all, he couldn't stay in one place until he had completely absorbed the energy before moving on.

But later on, everyone's speed still slowed down because there were more and more Orcs ahead.

"These guys are really too troublesome.

If all the Orcs here were taken out, the cities outside wouldn't be able to deal with them at all.

Speaking of which, can you really control so many Orcs?"

Xue Qiao said in a low voice: "You only need to control this world.

Once you control the world's core, you can influence these Orcs.

Then, with training, they can become soldiers loyal to us.

The world's core will imprint these Orcs' souls with our mark; every world is like this."

"No way, could it be that our world is like this too?" Wang Yang was surprised.

"That's how it was originally, but it's not easy to do.

Back then, in order to create a layer of world to resist external invasion, our predecessors detonated all the power of the Earth's core, and now the Earth's core has fallen asleep.

If you want to control the Earth's core, you must first activate it."

Hearing Zi Qing's words, Wang Yang felt relieved but also a little surprised: "The Earth's core is asleep, won't there be any problems?"

"Of course there are problems; the problem is that there will be no Chosen One.

When faced with danger, we can only rely on ourselves to get through it.

A being with powerful talent will not suddenly appear, and we will no longer receive the Earth's power."

So that's how it is; it doesn't seem to matter much; people can only rely on themselves anyway.

As long as the Chosen One isn't himself, then there's nothing to look forward to.

"Stop for a moment, there's a large Orc tribe ahead.

No, there's also a valley behind it; I saw the markings over there."
