Eye System

Lex, Ella and Angela had to move relatively slowly and keep their distance from the leader of the bandit group as they followed after him.

They came across quite a few more traps, but they were becoming scarcer the deeper they went into the island and the trees were also becoming scarcer, signifying the existence of people.

At the same time, the fox beast units, led by their leaders were also heading towards the same Bandit Tribe and the boss of the bandits who had lost communication with all of his subordinates became wary and curious as to what exactly had happened.

The fox beasts hadn't suffered any casualties but a few of them were injured and those that were became stationed at the back and they had become coherent, intelligent and powerful units.

They independently decided to head towards the bandit tribe and with the sharp senses of some of the fox beasts, along with the tough fur and bodies of others, they were able to make it past all the traps with ease.

Reaching the tribe, they were all shocked and amazed to find that it was the size of a country from their previous continent and yet it was called a mere tribe.

"There are enemies and intruders on the island" wailed the bandit group leader.

It took a moment for him to be recognised by those that stood on guard since he had been beaten badly by Lex, but hearing his voice confirmed who he was and instantly the entire tribe became alerted.

The tribe had millions of citizens, but most of them were merely slaves that would farm and work for the bandits in order to survive, unable to survive without them and having nowhere to escape to.

The island was filled with bandits and getting off the island was almost impossible without having to get through thousands of powerful bandits that guarded the ports, ships and trading routes.

Along with that, as long as they worked well and gave all their yield to the bandits, they would be given enough money to live and a place to call home.

It could barely be called a life, but they had no other choice and that became clear to Lex, Ella and Sarah instantly.

"Fox beasts, hear my words. Kill all bandits and feed off them as you please, however those that do not have any aggression and or aren't cultivators should be left unharmed" ordered Lex, sensing that the fox beast units were all nearby and around the edges of the bandit tribe.

He was disgusted by the actions of the bandit tribe and also disappointed by how cruel and ruthless bandits were given the chance to gain so much power and control.

[I will clean up this island and it won't take long, while I will also be able to get some resources and a better understanding of what I can expect from here on out. They also seem quite established and capable, so I am sure they have networks with other islands, which I can use for my own benefit] thought Lex to himself.

Lex's voice had reverberated around the entire area and the fox beasts all understood and were eager and excited to battle and let loose.

With Lex's permission, they began causing havoc and ripping any bandit in their path to shreds, infiltrating the tribe and fighting against powerful opponents, while also feasting on their bodies.

They hadn't been able to eat human meat, which tasted the beast to them, for a while and with them being allowed to devour so many humans, they couldn't hold back.

Despite that, they still followed Lex's orders and any innocent, non-cultivator or individual that didn't have the will to fight wouldn't be harmed.

Sensing what was occurring and hearing all the screams and sounds of conflict, Lex pitied and felt bad for the poor slaves who must be in great shock, but it was for their own sake and he was breaking them free of their chains.

If he was able to provide them with a safe home, people to protect them and the opportunity to become stronger so that they could protect themselves, they would have nothing to worry about.

And that was exactly what he was planning to do.

Lex using his Telekinetic Control Eye merely needed to look at the guards to crush their entire bodies into piles of blood, mush and crushed bones.

It was a gruesome, but quick and easy way to kill and after everything that they had seen and experienced, it wasn't much.

Ice spikes blitzed through the air and pierced through the heads of many bandits, while Ella was using orbs of unusual energy to take down the bandits that attacked them as they headed deeper into the bandit tribe.

There was no point wasting his time facing the weaker bandits and he would leave it to his fox beasts that were enjoying themselves and also training and making the most of the battle to become stronger.

All he needed to do was take down the leader of the bandit tribe, then the rest would slowly fall into place, but just to regulate the chaos, support the fox beast units and also protect any innocents that might get caught in the crossfire, Lex formed 5 clones.

He sent each of them to assist and monitor the area around one of the fox beast units and although Lex knew it would weaken his power greatly and also limit the amount of Eye Powers he had access to, he was still confident in his ability to defeat the bandit tribe leader.

It would merely make it more of a challenge and fair battle and Lex had Angela and Ella with him anyway, so he had nothing to fear and was prioritising the safety of the fox beasts and those uninvolved in the conflict.

"I am weakened after forming so many clones at once, but I can still fight and my power should be enough to take on the bandit leader, but I am likely to need you twos help" stated Lex.

They all nodded their heads in affirmation and with that, they continued onwards towards the centre of the bandit tribe, slaughtering any bandit in their path.
