Eye System

The Unit 1 Leader was the first to attempt to communicate with Lex.

The red fox used signals and howled in what seemed to be its language attempting to relay to Lex its words.

After a few minutes of Lex attempting to understand as much as he could from the fox beast's eyes and signals, Lex heard a sudden announcement.

{Ding, the host's Eye Knowledge has increased to LVL 2} announced the system.

{Ding, with his increase in the host's Eye Knowledge, the hose has gained the ability to read auras. This will allow the host to gauge the strength and threat level of opponents from their aura and also be able to understand their intentions through it} stated the system.

Lex was pleased with what he gained and instantly felt that his ability to read from the fox beast's eyes, that he found revealed a lot as their will had submitted to his, was much easier.

[If I continue to train my Eye Knowledge, I will be immune to lies and will be able to see through anybody] thought Lex to himself as he continued watching the fox beast.

Using his ability to read auras, along with reading the fox beast's eyes, Lex was able to understand a lot about the current state of his Fox Beast Dominion.

There seemed to have been a few casualties, and many of the fox beasts had formed an intimate relationship with another fox beast of the opposite gender, but yet the total offspring of the tribe within a month was around 30.

{Ding, the host's assumption is correct and it will be rare for them to be able to reproduce and it will be hard to grow in numbers. The system would recommend the host to maximise the growth of the current fox beasts, while also minimising casualties} confirmed the system.

Seeing the reverence of the fox beasts and sensing their loyalty, Lex relaxed and knew that it was unnecessary for him to use the Dominant Eye.

Sitting on the ground, Lex had a small smile and despite the tense predicament he and the rest of the continent were placed in, Lex was still able to stay positive.

He was enjoying the journey of growth and pursuing strength and couldn't help but smile at the small and cute fox beasts that all saw him as a master.

Sensing his welcoming aura, the fox beasts all huddled around Lex and jumped onto him as they licked him as a sign of affection.

Gently pushing them off him, not wanting to be licked, he stroked the head of all the fox beasts one by one, showing them all affection that was similar to that of a parent and a master.

"From here onwards I will be overlooking your hunts and will push you to increase your strength as quickly as possible. After a good amount of you have reached the Sky Mortal Rank, I shall return to my secluded cultivation" decided Lex.

The Unit 1 Leader translated Lex's words, to the few that didn't understand, and agreed with Lex's decision.

The Underground Coves had many small beast tribes, with few large beast tribes that occupied large areas, with one specific beast tribe in the centre.

Lex wanted to charge straight into the centre and take out the beast tribes, but he knew he was far from invisible and against such a large number of beasts, it would be extremely difficult to survive let alone massacre them all.

He was also unsure of what exactly was found within the rest of the Underground Coves and knew that he and his fox beasts had only just begun to enter the Inner Areas of the Underground Coves.

The decision to nurture the fox beasts and overseer a few of their hunts until they broke through to the next level of strength was the best course of action.

"Although I understand your intelligent decision of making a beast meat and beast core storage, the biggest priority currently is still to increase your strength as quickly as possible. You are all free to eat as much as you can from the storages and should sleep as much as possible for your bodies to digest and absorb more energy to increase your strength's" permitted Lex.

The fox beasts no longer had the hunger they had previously and were mostly fed to their fill, but they could still eat more and with Lex's permission, that they knew reigned supreme over their fox tribe, the fox beasts headed towards the food storages.

The 5 Unit Leaders led their units to the storages that were filled with beast meat and beast cores that were enough to feed an entire city for weeks.

The beast meat and cores were all of the Earth Mortal Rank and didn't appeal to Lex in the slightest, and while they were feeding and storing large amounts of energy within their bodies, Lex could do something else.

Lex's plan for the next step of the fox beasts' growth was simple.

He was planning to acquire large amounts of beast meat and beast cores, to refill the storages, and after they had finished feeding, he would take them all out for a hunt.

He would oversee their battles and try his best to minimise their casualties with his clones, and through combat and the large amounts of energy, they would have stored within their bodies after feeding, many of them would be able to break through into the Sky Mortal Rank, while some may have already broken through the Earth Mortal Rank with the energy consumed from the storages.

Each breakthrough granted the beast or cultivator a large power boost and with it, Lex felt more confident leaving his beasts to fend for themselves in the Underground Coves, that had other beast tribes that would be a massive threat, while he returned to secluded cultivation.

Lex formed 3 clones, relaying to each of them an Eye Power of his.

He had noticed previously that his Dominant Eye couldn't be relayed to a clone, leaving his maximum clone capacity at 3 clones.

Which wasn't an issue as Lex knew he wouldn't be able to deal with the strain of having 4 clones formed at the same time.

"Hunt and store as many beasts of the Sky Mortal Rank into the inventory and if you come across a group of beasts that are capable of harming you, retreat back here, without allowing them to follow you" ordered Lex.

With their orders, the 3 clones dashed away to complete their tasks, while Lex stayed in the position he was in and cultivated calmly.
