Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny IBWASFM-Chapter 700 - Ah Tu (2nd Update)
Chapter 700: Chapter 700 Ah Tu (2nd Update)
The radiation contained within this heaven and earth was so intense that even Xue An, a Golden Immortal, felt its presence.
Yet, in this environment utterly unsuitable for human existence, Xue An detected signs of life in the distant wilderness, apparently in combat.
Xue An flew through the sky and in the blink of an eye, arrived at the site of the struggle.
It was a low-lying valley.
Within the valley, a boy of only eleven or twelve was engaged in a desperate fight with several animals that resembled wolves.
The struggle had clearly been going on for a while, as the boy had multiple wounds on his body.
...
At that moment, the boy fiercely struck out with his knife, forcing the wolves in front of him to retreat. He then stepped back, gasping for breath, while fiercely eying his opponents, his body trembling slightly.
Clearly, he was reaching his limit.
These wolves differed from those on Earth, firstly being much leaner, but their fur shimmered with a metallic luster, and their eyes were filled with cunning and cruelty.
Seeing the boy in such a state, the wolves spread out in formation, slowly advancing toward him.
Their movements were surprisingly disciplined.
Clearly, this pack of wolves was no ordinary beast, but a group of highly intelligent creatures.
By this time, the boy had been forced to the edge of the valley, with the wolves surrounding him tightly. They then stuck out their tongues, licking their lips with a ravenous look.
Suddenly.
The closest wolf leaped forward, lunging straight for the boy. Mid-jump, it swiped its claw, sending a sharp gust of wind hurtling toward the boy.
The boy, already weakened, still managed to dodge the attack by jerking his head to the side.
Thud.
The hard rock was gashed open by the sharp wind.

A trail of blood appeared on the boy’s cheek.
He was a split second too slow, grazed by the tail end of the slicing wind.
But before the boy could feel any relief, the Demon Wolf had already closed in, revealing its gaping maw as it snapped toward the boy’s neck.
In his dire situation, the boy let out a ferocious roar. A faint red glow emanated from the short knife in his hand as he cut down.
Splat.
The Demon Wolf yelped in pain as one of its legs was brutally severed; foul blood spattered on the ground and sizzled as it corroded the soil.
Instead of retreating, the injured Demon Wolf became even more enraged. It howled and spat out another blade of wind.
At this point, the boy was utterly drained, and he didn’t even have the strength to dodge, his eyes filling with despair.
But just then, out of nowhere, the Demon Wolf was sent flying backward, exploding into a mist of blood in mid-air.
The boy was stunned, and Xue An’s figure suddenly appeared on the scene.
Xue An had been watching from a distance all along.
The boy’s courage had greatly impressed him, and the strike he had made at the end had surprised Xue An.
Because he was certain the boy had no cultivation level whatsoever.
Which made that slice he executed quite interesting.
At this moment, the boy looked at Xue An somewhat dumbfounded, his eyes flickering with shock and confusion.
He didn’t seem to understand why this man, dressed in neat clothing and as clean as a city dignitary, would save him.
Xue An, on the other hand, glanced at the Demon Wolves.
The death of that particular Demon Wolf had intimidated the rest of them.
But these Demon Wolves clearly were still unwilling to give up and were lingering not far away, seemingly looking for another opportunity.
Xue An saw the state of affairs and gave a faint smile as a stroke of sword light flashed by.
The demon wolves, who had previously been eyeing their prey greedily, now wailed as if they had seen something terrifying and attempted to flee.
But the sword light swept across the field in an instant.
The bodies of the demon wolves shuddered, then their wolf heads were severed and fell to the ground, their carcasses collapsing.
With a single strike, the pack was wiped out.
Seeing this, the boy’s mouth opened slightly in disbelief; he could hardly trust his own eyes.
It was a feat that would require at least a dozen strong men or three First Rank warriors.
Yet this man had casually eradicated them.
Could it be… he was a Second Rank or even higher-ranked Samurai?
The boy was astonished.
Xue An turned to look at him and then spoke with a voice carrying a trace of Divine Sense, “What is your name?”
With so many races within The Multiverse and languages extremely complex, whenever Xue An met others, he would communicate with this voice laced with a hint of Divine Sense to ensure that they could understand, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.
The boy was taken aback and then hurriedly responded, “My lord, my name is Ah Tu.”
His voice was filled with respect.
Xue An nodded, “Ah Tu… where are we?”
“My lord, this is the southern mines wilderness of Riverside Town!” Although Ah Tu found Xue An’s question rather odd, he still answered earnestly.
“Riverside Town…” Xue An chuckled.
So there were towns; it seemed that in this harsh environment not only was life possible, but civilization had also formed.
At this moment, Xue An took another look at the boy.
His clothes were tattered, his frame small and lean, and his face quite dirty, but his eyes sparkled with a lively sheen.
Especially eye-catching to Xue An was the short knife in the boy’s hand.
Just before, the boy had used this knife to sever the front paw of a demon wolf.
But Xue An could see at a glance that it was a very crudely made ordinary knife, not a Divine Weapon.
But judging by the carefully wrapped cloth around the handle and Ah Tu’s appearance of cherishing it greatly, it seemed to be a very important possession to him.
Seeing Xue An staring at him without speaking, Ah Tu hesitated and then, after a moment, clenched his teeth and pointed to the corpses of the demon wolves on the ground.
“My lord, I can skin these demon wolves for you, and all I ask in return is one of their pelts as payment!”
Fearing rejection, Ah Tu hurriedly added, “My lord, my skinning skills are second to none in Riverside Town, and since these demon wolves died by your hand without other wounds, their pelts can be properly treated and sold for a good price!”
Xue An, of course, didn’t care for these so-called demon wolf pelts, but a thought struck him, and he nodded, “Fine.”
Ah Tu was overjoyed, “Thank you, my lord!”
With that said, he began to skin the demon wolves.
As he had claimed, his skinning skill was indeed top-notch.
He first drained the blood from the demon wolf carcasses, then deftly separated the skin from the flesh with his knife.
His movements were smooth as flowing water and astonishingly swift.
In the time it took to eat a meal,
All the pelts were skinned from the demon wolves.
Ah Tu’s face gleamed with excitement.
Such high-quality demon wolf pelts could be traded for many useful things, such as grade three pure water!
