I have an eye of truth

Now that things had reached this point, Wang Yang didn't need to do anything more. So, he recalled his shadow monsters, leaving only a few to monitor the situation below. The rest had already returned to his side.

The few shadows left to monitor wouldn't be in much danger as long as he didn't solidify them into physical forms.

Most ordinary spiders and ants only had basic attack methods. The ants would bite or use acid to create ranged attacks.

The spiders would also bite, but they were faster, more agile, and larger.

They also had ranged attacks. The spiders' silk was poisonous, and this venom, combined with its constricting ability, made for a terrifying composite ranged attack.

Some spiders even spat venomous barbs with powerful attack capabilities.

Even if flying ants came, they wouldn't be a match.

Some spiders were constantly setting up webs in the rear, forming traps and working together seamlessly. The spiderwebs wouldn't stick to the spiders, but any ants that walked into them would be ensnared.

Once stuck, the ants would quickly lose their ability to move and be killed by the spiders that followed.

In the rear, a steady stream of ants and spiders approached. The spiders had strong individual combat abilities and a variety of skills, but the ants had greater numbers. Before long, the ground below was teeming with them.

Wang Yang simply huddled among the rocks, his eyes filled with shock. If he were discovered, it would surely mean his death. He had to admit, things were getting out of his control.

If he had known it would be like this, Wang Yang would never have stayed here. But now, it was impossible to leave.

"If I could fly, if I could turn invisible, then I could leave."

Wang Yang looked at the sky and felt his heart sink as he saw the large number of ants flying towards him. Right now, Wang Yang especially wanted abilities like invisibility and flight.

Unfortunately, these two abilities were not easy to find. He could only hope to encounter them in the future.

Flight that didn't involve growing wings was definitely not something easily obtained.

At this moment, Wang Yang couldn't do anything. He could only watch the battle below and didn't even dare to communicate with others for the time being. He just took out his communicator to record videos.

This footage would be important intelligence when he returned.

The insects were also enemies of each other. If he could provoke them, this information might allow humans to develop new tactics. He could eliminate a large number of insects without sacrificing a single soldier.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the ground was covered with layers of insect corpses.

Gradually, some of the insects began to clean up the corpses. To Wang Yang's surprise, both types of insects had very diverse diets. They would eat anything, even their own kind.

As long as it was a dead body, the ants would eat the corpses of other ants, and the spiders would turn the corpses of other spiders into silk cocoons for food. They weren't afraid of getting sick from it.

Insect corpses continuously appeared and were continuously cleaned up, but the number of insects fighting in the front lines didn't decrease.

Later, primary-level insects began to appear, and there were more and more of them.

Primary-level ants had a layer of red energy on their bodies, giving them strong attack and defense capabilities. It was somewhat similar to the energy state of the Redscale Others, but not exactly the same.

The red energy on the ants was attached to their bodies and couldn't be released externally.

However, the ants could concentrate this power in their acid, launching it at a distance and creating an effect similar to magic. Even spiders would be easily melted if hit by this acid.

The primary-level alien beasts on the spiders' side also appeared, and they also possessed special energy.

Sure enough, the biggest difference between primary-level alien beasts and humans was whether or not they possessed that special energy.

The spiders' energy was white and directly fused into their silk. With this energy, the spiders could use their silk more flexibly.

Instead of spitting out a single thread, they could weave a net and launch it at a faster speed, instantly trapping the enemy. The venom was also stronger.

Even primary-level ants would quickly lose their ability to move and become sitting ducks if hit.

However, the spiders' energy seemed to be less effective in defense. He didn't know if this ability was unsuitable for defense or if the spiders simply didn't prioritize it, so they didn't have any skills in that area.

It was like human battle qi. If one didn't cultivate various techniques, merely relying on the instinctive use of battle qi would only result in an attack ability.

Insects were, after all, not humans and didn't have humans' powerful creative abilities.

"There must be tens of thousands of them," Wang Yang thought, looking back at the dense mass of black or brown ants. On the other side were the furry white spiders.

The number of ants had unknowingly reached tens of thousands, or even several tens of thousands. Wang Yang couldn't calculate the exact number. And in the distance, there was a continuous stream of ants surging towards this place.

The battle lines were constantly expanding and becoming longer. If it weren't for the terrain limitations, the battle lines would probably continue to lengthen.

In fact, it was because the length of the battle line was limited that a large number of spiders and ants were blocked in the rear, unable to reach the enemy for the time being and only able to provide ranged support.

Gradually, Wang Yang noticed that the spiders seemed to be having some problems.

Unlike the ants, whose main force was close-combat and didn't have ranged weapons,

the spiders were different. Almost all of the spiders were close-combat support, and their attack methods were spider silk and barb attacks, which required reserves. Some of the spiders that had joined the battle earlier had already used up their reserves.

Some could retreat, but more couldn't and had to continue fighting on the battlefield with close combat.

Spiders using close combat were much less of a threat. Facing more ants, they often couldn't kill more than a few before being torn apart on the spot.

The ants' natural enemies were now showing signs of weakness. Sure enough, even the most powerful means with limited ammunition weren't suitable for prolonged battles.

With so many ants, it was really uncertain who would win this battle.

He hoped the Spider Queen wouldn't die at the hands of the ants; that would be a real shame. However, what Wang Yang was doing now was actually a great achievement.
