Chapter 20: Travelling Part 1

Trudging through the sand which was now becoming mud as the desert landscape was lessening as they continued forward.

There are more and more trees and the ground is becoming harder and browner and more nutritious for the plants.

As they continued walking for half an hour, they found that the environment they were in almost completely changed the weather was beginning to become wetter and more humid.

Now surrounded by trees and were beginning to see more and more plants, they had officially entered the jungle area.

"Yeah, we left the desert area" exclaims Angela in happiness as she giddily jumps.

"Be quiet you idiot, the jungle is much more dangerous with more hiding spots and is perfect for a sneak attack" he instantly refutes making her quiet.

"Listen, Angela, you aren't the only one with pursuers and I am wanted by the whole Earth Base due to the leader being my enemy, so we must be more cautious," he says to her warning her and explaining his situation.

Hearing this, she was surprised and began to understand that a young boy at 14 having such an experienced and serious mindset would only be due to a hard life.

Scouting Eye.

His previously blue eyes become all white as his vision and senses fuse and he can feel and see everything clearly in a 300-metre radius, 360 degrees around him.

Looking at his face Angela jumped back in shock, "what happened to your eyes" she screams.

"I said be quiet, this is just an ability of mine that helps me scout the area, "he says to her retracting it and then using it again.

Lex is still extremely cautious but felt he could trust Angela, who relied on him for survival and he didn't reveal a massive secret or any of his trump cards.

Seeing this, she calmed down and placed her hand over her mouth to signify she would be quiet as they continued forth.

"At the speed, we are travelling it could take us weeks to cover the jungle, so we should either use the previous way of travel or should run at full speed in order to reduce the travel time," he states.

As he said this, she only just realised that the way they travelled made no sense as no technology works in the Mortal Beast Dimension yet he was able to produce a vehicle and make stuff appear from thin air like the extremely expensive spatial items, but decided not to confront him.

"You really do have a lot of secrets, which I won't pry into the same way you have given me my personal space, but we should take that vehicle that you can produce somehow and I will provide you my energy as well and we can stop every day once to recover our energy," she replies to him directly.

Hearing this, he was kind of shocked that she was so attentive, but he wasn't trying to hide anything serious and just shrugs it off.

Not wanting to waste too much energy and lightning causes a massive commotion, Lex uses Dual Eye as his right eye becomes blue again but has a symbol on it, which didn't go unnoticed by Angela.

Making a small cart-like vehicle that had two small seats and had a thin and sharp front for speed, but had no wheels or anything under, which is what allows Lex to carry two people with his eye without straining himself as the weightless cart acts as a pressure reliever so causes less strain on his eye than directly lifting himself and Angela.

As they both got in and Kano jumped onto Angela's lap again as not to distract Lex's concentration. The cart begins to lift and float and seemingly flies forward but was actually being lifted by a mysterious force produced by Lex's eye.

Staring attentively at Lex, Angela wanted to find out how his eyes, the vehicle and all the things that are impossible that he is doing in the Mortal Beast Dimension work.

Knowing everything in his surroundings from his left eye, he could see Angela's staring and just ignored it and it came to his attention that he should have some sort of glasses or cover to hide his eyes as not to draw unwanted attention from powerful people he isn't able to face yet such as Eye Masters which the system warned him about.

Zooming through the jungle weaving through the trees and piercing all low LVL beasts in the way with his eye and dodging and avoiding all higher LVL beasts they were covering massive amounts of distance quickly.

After a few hours, they had covered a quarter of the distance and Lex's veins were bulging from his temple as he was over drafting his mental power and concentration as his energy storage is nearly exhausted after flying forth at full speed and manoeuvring diligently.

The cart begins to waver and was about to shatter due to not being supplied enough energy by Lex. Seeing this he knew he needed to rest and find a place to stop and finds a large oak tree with a diameter of 2 metres and was hollow inside.

Stopping and retracting his eyes he releases the Item Creation skill as he climbs up the tree with the last of his strength, already scanning the tree he knew it was empty and goes into the hollow tree followed by Angela and Kano.

In that cramped space that was closed in Angela was flustered looking at his wet muscular body, but the fatigued Lex was in no position to look at Angela sexually.

"Snap out of it, I need to recover quickly, this area is close to the Earth Base and it is dangerous to stay here for too long," he says to her frustrated as his drenched body slumps in fatigue.

He felt as if his skull was tightening and crushing his mind due and his eyes aching because of overusing his mental and eye power and felt his body drained and lifeless after completely using his energy.

Angela realising the seriousness of this situation being so close to Lex's enemies, lost all her previous immature and inappropriate thoughts she had from looking at the wet and handsome Lex.

He needed to leave quickly she places out both her palms as the golden light radiated over Lex as the warmth gushed through his body recovering and helping his fatigued body.

Withdrawing beast cores, which he had previously already taken out of the beast corpses he gives them to Angela to supply her with energy as she recovers his energy, while his mind shuts down and he falls asleep in the hollow tree.
