Lex's fox beasts were yet to suffer any casualties, but were being pushed back and surrounded by the giant ant beasts, despite their strength surpassing most of the giant ant beasts, because of the sheer disparity in numbers.
However, with the new Internal Cultivation Attack Skill that the fox beasts, that had broken through into the Heaven Mortal Rank were capable of using, they were able to push back the giant ant beasts slightly and keep their distance, as they picked them off slowly.
But it was becoming increasingly difficult to do so as they were continuously pushed back and needing to dodge attacks from all directions and no matter how many beasts they defeated, there were always more right behind them, relentlessly attempting to take them down.
Just as the fox beasts began to be surrounded and the giant ant beasts were gaining the upper hand, their attack suddenly halted as they all turned around and rushed back towards where Lex was.
