Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Transforming into an Insect, Crushing the Bug King (First Update)

In Silver City, there are naturally inns available.

However, staying here is not cheap, costing at least one bottle of third-tier water for one night’s accommodation.

That’s right.

In Silver City, the circulating currency is not gold, but water bottled in small containers.

A small bottle of third-tier water could be exchanged for plenty of useful supplies on the outside, but here it can only secure one night’s stay.

This price made Ah Tu feel a considerable pinch.

“Sir, isn’t this too expensive? That’s a bottle of third-tier water!” Ah Tu muttered.

Xue An just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Although Ah Tu was no longer the poor kid from Riverside Town,

this obsession with resources was engraved in his bones and couldn’t be changed overnight.

The conditions at the inn were quite decent, even better than the tavern where he had stayed back in Riverside Town.

Moreover, the buildings and the city were constructed using special techniques, and the radiation was almost imperceptible.

This was also why the locals firmly believed Silver City to be the Land of the Chosen.

Ah Tu kept fretting over the bottle of third-tier water, his mouth mumbling complaints, until the inn provided the complimentary meal and he fell silent.

Although the meal wasn’t lavish by any means, it was still a culinary delight that Ah Tu in the past couldn’t have even dared to dream of.

“Now that’s more like it!” Ah Tu finally felt somewhat psychologically balanced.

“Sir, please have your meal!” Ah Tu wanted to serve Xue An first before eating himself.

But Xue An glanced at the meat on the plates, likely carved from some wild beast, still with streaks of blood on it,

which killed his appetite and he just shook his head, “You eat.”

Xue An wasn’t bothered about not eating now, and Ah Tu could naturally see this, so he chuckled.

“Sir, if you insist, then I’ll eat!”

He then started gobbling up the food voraciously.

What was indifferent fare to Xue An was supreme delicacy to Ah Tu.

Xue An watched this scene, not saying anything, just smiling.

Only after Ah Tu had burped satisfyingly and cleared all the food did Xue An speak up, “Had enough to eat?”

“Mmmhmm!”

“Then get ready, tonight is likely to be quite lively!”

Ah Tu was taken aback, “Sir, what do you mean?”

“I reckon it won’t be long before someone comes looking for you! Better get some sleep early!” said Xue An and then turned to head back to his room.

Ah Tu stood there pondering for a moment, his expression gradually turning solemn.

He certainly wouldn’t doubt Xue An’s words.

But who would come looking for him?

Could it be related to the woman he had encountered on the street today?

Or maybe the Captain of the Guard?

Ah Tu was no fool, he could tell that the Captain of the Guard’s eyes were filled with murderous intent when he looked at him.

Thinking of this, Ah Tu licked the remaining morsel of food at the corner of his mouth, a cold glare appearing in his eyes.

Having fought for survival since childhood in the wilderness, the law of the jungle was an unbreakable truth in Ah Tu’s heart.

If someone really dared to come, then he would let them know what fear means!

Besides, with the Sir right by his side, as his protector, how could he allow these petty nuisances to disturb him?

With these thoughts, Ah Tu decisively brought over a chair, placed it in front of Xue An’s room, and sat upright in vigilance.

Night began to fall.

The clamor from outside also gradually disappeared.

Silver City implemented a curfew policy; after nightfall, aside from a few special venues, all other places were closed.

The streets were naturally deserted.

At this moment, Xiong Hai, accompanied by several people, arrived outside the inn where Xue An was staying, like an apparition.

For the Xiong Family, locating a visitor’s residence was as easy as turning over one’s hand.

When they moved to the back wall of the inn, Xiong Hai signaled his bodyguards with his eyes,

These guards tacitly drew their swords and daggers.

Xiong Hai’s eyes gleamed fiercely as he made a throat-slitting gesture at his throat.

All his guards nodded slightly.

Only then did Xiong Hai silently leap over the wall and enter the inn.

Although the accommodation was expensive, the inn was fully occupied due to the Water Sacrifice Festival.

Like specters, Xiong Hai and his bodyguards moved through the floors, heading straight for the room where Xue An and Ah Tu stayed.

Once outside the room, Xiong Hai waved his hand, and the bodyguards held their breath, halted, and then quietly dispersed to encircle the suite.

Xiong Hai listened with a sideways ear and could hear long, steady breathing inside, a sign that the occupants were asleep.

A grim smile appeared on Xiong Hai’s face.

His extreme caution stemmed entirely from the fear that the Holy Maiden Croliya would find out about this.

But if he could just kill this upstart youth and devour his innate talent, even if the Holy Maiden found out later, it would be too late for her to do anything.

Thinking this, Xiong Hai signaled to his followers once more.

A bodyguard slowly approached, placed a hand on the door, and the lock opened silently as if by magic.

This was one of the bodyguard’s supernatural abilities.

Then the guard gently pushed open the door.

Xiong Hai followed closely behind.

But just at that moment, the bodyguard suddenly shuddered and froze in place.

Xiong Hai was taken aback but dared not speak. He reached out and gave the bodyguard a soft push.

Pfft.

As he pushed, the bodyguard’s head suddenly fell off, and blood sprayed all over Xiong Hai’s face.

Not good!

Xiong Hai’s heart tightened, realizing something was terribly wrong.

In that lightning-quick moment, blades appeared out of nowhere in front of the bodyguards. Before they could react, the blades cut them in half.

Xiong Hai was no exception; a blade appeared right in front of his throat.

Xiong Hai could even feel the chilling coldness emanating from that blade.

This sensation of being on the brink of death made all his muscles tense up. In the instant before the blade struck him, he cried out loudly and his whole body split into fingernail-sized bugs, narrowly dodging the attack.

This was the talent that had made Xiong Hai’s name.

After evading the blade, Xiong Hai in his transformed state broke through the wall and charged straight at Ah Tu inside the house.

Ah Tu had a solemn expression, as layer upon layer of blade gleams appeared from nowhere, starting to frenetically slaughter the swarm of bugs that Xiong Hai had become.

Regardless of the carnage, the bugs seemed unaffected.

At the same time, Xiong Hai’s hideous laughter came from mid-air, “Kid, your talent is truly astonishing, but it’s a pity you’ve met me. You’re still going to die!”

With that said, the swarm of bugs suddenly dispersed and then enveloped Ah Tu within it.

Although Ah Tu possessed extraordinary talent, he had never encountered such a bizarre opponent and had to continuously rely on his blade to ward off the intrusion.

But this was not a sustainable strategy.

“Cackle, die for me!” roared Xiong Hai inwardly with delight. As long as he killed this youth and devoured his abnormal talent for transmuting into a blade, his own strength would surge dramatically.

But at that moment, a hand silently emerged amidst the sea of bugs and directly seized the bug king where Xiong Hai’s soul resided.
