I have an eye of truth

#404 - Ancient Battlefield

This operation was very secretive and wasn't disclosed to anyone outside of them.

Everyone knew that if the military found out Wang Yang was going to obtain this thing, they would definitely stop him. In the past, someone had specifically researched the Soul-Devouring Ghost Worms, and the results were extremely tragic.

The Soul-Devouring Ghost Worms escaped and then spread throughout the city like a plague, quickly turning the entire city into a ghost town. Later, the Soul-Devouring Ghost Worms were carried around by those who escaped, turning an entire area into a ghost domain.

In the end, there was no choice but for the military to completely seal off that area. Anyone who dared to appear within sight was to be killed without exception. A few strong individuals or those with connections were quarantined in advance for repeated inspections.

Only after confirming that no ghost worms were following could they leave.

Countless people died in that battle, and even now that area is still sealed off, prohibiting anyone from entering.

Almost no one wanted to mention that incident. Among those present, only He Yue and He Yingxue, the two military personnel stationed there, knew about it, but neither of them said much.

At most, they would remind the others not to talk about it, that was all.

Because they knew that Wang Yang wanted to use the Soul-Devouring Ghost Worms to improve his skills, not capture them for research. If he really wanted to capture them, they would probably stop Wang Yang.

The two exchanged a glance, already prepared to prepare some detection and isolation equipment.

Once Wang Yang was finished, they would isolate him outside before he could return. They would only release him after confirming that there were no problems. There was no choice, this thing was too dangerous.

Having prepared everything, Wang Yang bid farewell and left. Alone, he followed the markings on the map, heading towards a certain place.

The target was an ancient battlefield, said to be the site of a great battle between human soldiers and ghosts, but not a very large battlefield. It was just a village, and no one knew the specific situation.

However, there were many markings for such restricted areas on the map, especially places where things like Soul-Devouring Ghost Worms existed.

As he approached, Wang Yang saw the isolation devices. Because these were all things from a long time ago, the isolation used in this place was city walls and some automated devices, with no living person stationed here.

Brightly colored characters were written on the city wall: "Soul-Devouring Ghost Worms Restricted Area, No Entry."

"Heh heh, I have to go in because I'm looking for this thing."

Wang Yang smiled as he searched for a place to enter. He couldn't alert this thing, or else, once an alarm was triggered, many people would come to arrest him.

Perhaps, if he wasn't careful, he would become an enemy of humanity.

Of course, humans weren't worried about wandering souls entering this place. Because wandering souls were even more attractive to those Soul-Devouring Ghost Worms than humans, once they entered, they would definitely be devoured.

It was said that there were still some ghosts inside, but they were all on the periphery, and none dared to approach the center.

"Very good, it's this way." Finally, Wang Yang found a gap.

This was, after all, a battlefield from ancient times, and a very small one at that, so no one would pay attention to it. This kind of place was considered dilapidated, and the technological level at that time was not so high.

So, as time passed, it was normal for gaps like this to appear without anyone repairing them.

Wang Yang had confirmed the location of this gap, and the warning devices had long stopped working. So Wang Yang carefully passed through the middle, crossing the city wall without triggering an alarm.

After entering, Wang Yang felt as if he had entered another world.

This place was very quiet, as if nothing existed. No, not nothing, Wang Yang noticed that there were still animals around, all ordinary animals, moving very carefully.

In this place without humans or wandering souls, it was a rare paradise for these animals. As long as they didn't run into the central area, their ability to survive in this place was still very strong.

The Soul-Devouring Ghost Worms had special rules and wouldn't run around.

As soon as Wang Yang entered this place, he took out the ghost worm detector, kept it turned on, and placed it on his body, constantly reminding himself of the situation around him.

After all, once he was discovered by the ghost worms, he would be dead.

As he gradually advanced, Wang Yang also gradually found some special things, that's right, ghosts hiding here.

It was just a third-rate fellow, looking like a rag doll. It seemed that it hadn't seen anyone appear for many years, and when it suddenly saw Wang Yang, that guy couldn't wait to jump out.

Its eyes were terrifying, constantly making some strange movements to create fear.

"Knowing that you're a wandering soul, you're really not scary at all." Wang Yang curled his lips. But suddenly, Wang Yang thought of something, so he stepped forward and grabbed it.

The rag doll never expected that this target it found would be so strong, simply a monster. The rag doll kept struggling in Wang Yang's hand, but there was no way to break free. Just like that, Wang Yang grabbed it and walked inside. The closer it got to the inside, the more violently the rag doll struggled.

Whether it was constant slapping or biting, or even the special attacks belonging to wandering souls, there was no way to cause any damage to Wang Yang.

There was no way, the difference in strength was too great. Wang Yang was a high-level peak existence, while this guy in front of him had just reached the primary level, and was still in a situation where he had been hungry for a long time.

The further he went, the more lush the vegetation became, and there was almost no ghostly aura here.

He could often see things on the ground that could attract wandering souls, items that had been given special meaning by people. Even things left behind by the dead, even the bones left behind after people died, were lying there quietly.

To be honest, this situation was too rare in this layer, it could even be said to be unique.

However, the further Wang Yang went, the more careful he became, the situation here was really strange. Although the Soul-Devouring Ghost Worms were the things Wang Yang had chosen, he still didn't dare to take the threat of this thing lightly.

Even the military was so vigilant, even top professionals were tight-lipped about this, how could he not take it seriously?

If it weren't for his own research showing that the Soul-Devouring Ghost Worms were suitable for his new skills, he really wouldn't have run to this kind of place. He wouldn't forget that he wasn't without any problems.

Although this layer was not bad, what about the other layers? He had the anti-organization lunatics staring at him.

Without creating some killer moves, there was really no sense of security. Anyway, he was just going to take a gamble, it wasn't like he hadn't gambled before. Suddenly, the detector on Wang Yang's body made a "beep beep" sound.
