I have an eye of truth

"There aren't any Bladefoot bugs here, but these bugs are really strange."

Wang Yang looked at a large bug in front of him. It was truly unique, with eight legs similar to a spider, but its body was very slender and segmented, like a stick insect.

It had two pairs of wings on its back, but they were small. It couldn't even jump or glide, let alone fly. They seemed to be merely decorations, and it was hard to know what they were for.

Its method of attack was even more interesting. It would launch small, constantly wriggling bugs from its back.

These bugs would explode upon contact with an enemy, using the force of the explosion to attack.

However, after observing for a while, Wang Yang gradually understood that these bugs were parasites. They parasitized on the back of the large bug, and would explode after a period of time once separated from the body.

This seemed to form another symbiotic relationship. The large bug used these small bugs to attack, while the small bugs used the nutrients provided by the large bug to survive.

After killing the large bug, the small bugs would lose control and not continue to explode, but would continue to parasitize.

It was unknown what would happen to these things after the large bug was eaten empty.

But in any case, it looked quite disgusting.

"Wait, what's going on?" After going deeper for a while, Wang Yang suddenly felt strange.

Because the large bugs and parasites were too disgusting, Wang Yang didn't touch the corpses after killing them, but just stood aside, absorbed the energy, and left. But now, something seemed to be wrong.

When a large bug was walking in front, it suddenly began to tremble violently. Then, the large bug fell to the ground, struggling constantly, but becoming increasingly weak.

"What's going on? Is it sick?" Wang Yang didn't take action, but watched from behind.

But suddenly, Wang Yang discovered that the large bug had actually curled up. Although it wasn't dead, it was close.

After circling around the large bug, Wang Yang finally found the culprit: it was the small bugs.

These parasites were originally parasitizing on the back of the large bug, where there was a special piece of soft flesh. Through parasitism, they constantly absorbed energy to maintain their lives.

However, these bugs and the large bug didn't have a true symbiotic relationship. The large bug could launch these parasites to attack enemies, but the parasites were also harmful to itself.

Through constant erosion, the parasites would penetrate deeper and deeper into the large bug's body. There was a hard shell below the soft flesh, but this hard shell couldn't last forever. Once the parasites pierced through it, they would enter the large bug's body.

And the inside of the large bug was very fragile. Once the parasites entered, the large bug would die quickly.

"What a truly ignorant parasite. By killing the large bug it relies on for survival, won't it also die?"

Wang Yang rolled his eyes, but he suddenly realized that the large bug's constant chaos and destruction didn't seem to be just an instinct. It was also a way to control the number of parasites on its back.

If there were too many, the large bug would release some of the parasites itself to reduce their number.

Otherwise, too many bugs would be very dangerous to itself. It's just that these bugs aren't very smart and don't understand the meaning of doing this, otherwise this situation would never have occurred.

Seeing a large number of parasites constantly wriggling in the flesh, Wang Yang felt disgusted.

With a wave of his hand, Firestarter was formed. Wang Yang could now control the ignition range of Firestarter.

The flames engulfed the large bug that hadn't died, then ignited it, burning it clean, and he could also get some energy.

But the next moment, Wang Yang suddenly narrowed his eyes. "These really are small bugs. Zi Qing's information is correct, but the information is actually quite different."

Wang Yang came here for the Mind Communication ability, saying that a type of small bug might possess it.

But Wang Yang didn't know what kind of bug it was. He had hunted many small bugs along the way. He had killed many types of bugs in this forest, but he hadn't obtained the one he wanted.

Later, Wang Yang even thought that he couldn't get the ability because that bug didn't have a crystal core.

But now Wang Yang understood that he had overlooked a type of bug, which was the parasite.

All along, when killing these large bugs, Wang Yang used a gun. That's right, because he didn't want to get close to this thing, Wang Yang solved it with a gun from afar.

So only the large bug was killed, and the parasite wasn't killed.

Even if a parasite fell off, it would only self-destruct, not be killed.

Just now, after burning the entire bug with a fire, he killed a large number of parasites. The absorbed energy told him that he had obtained this Mind Communication ability and could absorb it at any time.

"So that's how it is."

Wang Yang quickly analyzed it. Now it seemed that the bug's self-destruction mechanism was very special.

Originally, the bugs communicated with each other using weak mental power, which allowed them to maintain their existence. And once they lost the mental communication with other bugs, these parasites couldn't suppress their own power, and then they would self-destruct.

The large bug's launching of these small bugs also seemed to be aided by this communication.

The large bug didn't know what means it used to let the small bugs know the source of danger, and then the small bugs themselves would launch towards the source of danger. Then, it formed a method of attack.

It's just that the large bug itself had to determine the dangerous place. Although these large bugs were destructive everywhere, each attack was targeted, and the target was at least some bugs with a certain amount of combat power.

This explained why the large bugs didn't throw bugs around randomly, because they couldn't do it.

If they could do it, they wouldn't be eaten empty, right?

"In any case, the ability has been obtained, and the energy gained this time is also quite a lot. It's just right to strengthen it properly. According to my plan this time, the most useful is still Shadow Trick."

Suddenly, Wang Yang patted his head: "No, it can't be called Shadow Trick anymore. Trick is a vulgar term for magic. My current Shadow Monster's strength is very strong. From now on, let's rename it Shadow Legion. Those monsters are Shadow Assassins."

Finally, Wang Yang changed a name for his Shadow Monsters.

But this name is just for self-entertainment. Anyway, no one will care what this thing is called. He crossed the forest all the way, killed out again, and Wang Yang didn't want to continue staying here.

Dreammist Forest, under such a beautiful name, is full of parasites, which makes people's scalp tingle.
