Chapter 169: Giant Ant Beast Tribe

With the strength of 3 of his fox beast's making an enormous leap after breaking into the Heaven Mortal Rank, Lex's confidence in his power was once again strengthened.

If he could get as many of his fox beasts as he could to break through into the Heaven Mortal Rank, his fox beast army would be extremely powerful, and even he may struggle to fight against them.

Lex could feel that his Third Eye was on the cusp of breaking through into the Heaven Mortal Rank, while he was at the peak of the Heaven Mortal Rank both Internally and Externally, along with his Elemental Body, that he made sure to keep at the same level as his cultivation, knowing how powerful and useful it was.

The expected arrival of the demonic cultivation master was nearing and Lex didn't have much time to break through into the Golden Mortal Rank before facing off against him to protect himself, Angela and Ella, and the continent.

Without time to waste, he set off immediately with his fox beasts towards the centre of the Underground Coves.

But unlike when he waltzed into the beast tribes for the other large beast tribes, Lex knew he had to be strategical and smart against the giant ant beast tribe, otherwise, he may not even be able to reach the ant queen that was in the centre of their base.

She was the one that was producing more giant ant beasts, while was also the strongest giant ant beast and the biggest threat to Lex.

He had two options, either to slowly pick off the giant ant beasts numbers and slowly take more and more of their territory slowly, while increasing the strength of the fox beasts, or to attempt to take out the giant ant queen, then her subordinates.

Although it was the option that needed more time, Lex knew it was the safer and most possible option, so decided he would slowly take out the giant ant beasts while taking over more and more of their territory.

As he did so, he would be able to get enough beast cores for more of his fox beasts to break through into the Heaven Mmortal Rank which would greatly increase their strength.

However, the risk of that plan was that they may be overwhelmed by the numbers and strength of the giant ant beasts in an ambush. While be slowly picking off the giant ant beasts, he was also openly waging war against the giant ant beasts and was giving time to prepare, but despite that, it was still the best option for Lex currently.

Lex made sure to stay with his fox beasts and they formed an opening on the edge of the giant ant beast base as they began killing any giant ant beasts that approached that area.

The small opening made it so that only a few giant ant beasts could make it through at once, and with their large population, there was an endless stream of giant ant beasts that attacked Lex and his fox beasts, aiming to protect their base.

Lex and his fox beasts continuously killed all the giant ant beasts that attacked them and collected their bodies and beast cores, which they shared between the fox beasts to eat.

The giant ant queen, that was quite intelligent, was seeing that it was a lost cause and she could either withdraw or send stronger giant ant beasts to attack Lex and his fox beasts who were strengthening themselves and slowly taking a small area on the edge of their territory.

Lex and his fox beasts could easily recover their energy and the fox beast's cultivation speed had increased massively because of the dense energy within the giant ant beast territory, and Lex was now sure that there was a treasure within the centre of the Underground Coves.

The treasure must have drawn in all the beasts that were situated Underground and was what allowed them to reach such high heights of strength, despite the lack of plants and humans, which would help most beasts to increase their strength.

Despite the increasing number of the giant ant beasts attacking Lex and his fox beasts, and their increasing strength, Lex and his fox beasts were able to defeat them with ease and were rapidly increasing their strength and the area they had taken over from the giant ant beast territory.

They had already massacred thousands of giant ant beasts, which had been used to help the other two fox beasts to the Heaven Mortal rank and a few other fox beasts that were at the peak of the Sky Mortal Rank.

The strength of his fox beast army was frightening and considering that they were merely weak malnourished Mortal beasts a few months ago, Lex had done an incredible job in nurturing them, and they also had incredible talent.

The constant battle and absorbing energy was lowering the hurdle that Lex had to get past in order to break through and he knew that it was only a matter of time until he did so, with the abundant energy in the area around him. 

Meanwhile, the giant ant queen was growing increasingly frustrated as she continued sending powerful giant ant beast groups to take out Lex and his fox beasts, in the hopes of getting rid of the threat.

But all attempts to take them out failed and after investigating, she found out that the other large beast tribes had been defeated and withdrew her troops.

There was no other beast tribe capable of taking out all three of the largest beast tribes, so the only other possible killer was Lex and his fox beasts. If they were able to massacre large beast tribes and defeat the powerful beast tribe leaders, then they would be able to defeat most of her giant ant beast troops and she would have to be strategic.

At that moment the real battle began and Lex had managed to strengthen his fox beasts army massively, while the giant ant queen prepared her troops around her in the centre of the giant and beast territory, prepared to fend off against and defeat Lex and his fox beasts.
