Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2237: Chapter 2238: Monster Guardians (First Update)

Although the Sea of Star Gravel is vast, under the guidance of Chirps Tattoo, the three of them quickly reached the central area.

Here, the star gravel was as large as small mountains, and extremely dense. They had to be very careful while moving, otherwise, there was a high chance of colliding with them.

Although the weakest among Xue An’s group, Zhu Zhesheng, also possessed strength not weaker than that of an Immortal Emperor, colliding with the star gravel in this core area would still not end well.

The first reason is that these star gravels, after millions of years of collisions, have left only extremely solid cores.

Their hardness even surpasses many fine gold and steel, and colliding with them in the flesh would indeed be a huge loss.

Secondly, the star gravel here all exist in a delicate balanced state. Once an external force intervenes, this balance could easily be disrupted, causing the star gravel to re-enter a chaotic state.

By that time, even the route of travel might change.

Therefore, Zhu Zhesheng and Yue Qinghuan were being extremely cautious at this moment, not even daring to breathe loudly, as they moved forward carefully.

As for Xue An, he appeared calm and composed, maneuvering through the star gravel with ease, as leisurely as a stroll in a courtyard without a trace of smoke or fire.

After walking for a while longer, Yue Qinghuan finally couldn’t help but ask, "Are we there yet?"

Zhu Zhesheng shook his head, "Not yet!"

"How much further?"

Zhu Zhesheng smiled wryly, "To be honest, this is my first time here too. Because of strict family rules, unless absolutely necessary, it is forbidden to risk one’s life by entering here on one’s own! But it looks like we are getting close!"

Yue Qinghuan pouted, "Other than these big stones being a bit of a nuisance, I don’t see the danger here. Why be so timid?"

Zhu Zhesheng looked embarrassed and was about to say something.

At this moment, Xue An suddenly stopped, then said in a deep voice, "Listen, there’s something strange sounding!"

The two also stopped immediately, listening intently to the surroundings.

But after listening for a while, they heard nothing unusual except the occasional sound of collisions.

Yue Qinghuan couldn’t help but say, "I don’t hear anything! Did you hear wrong?"

"No, I definitely didn’t hear wrong. There was indeed a strange sound just now!" Xue An said with determination.

At the same time, Xue An squinted slightly, scanning his sharp gaze around, trying to discern something.

Yet this time he still found nothing.

This made Xue An frown slightly. He was sure that he hadn’t heard wrong.

It was a sound similar to mechanical movement.

But why did it suddenly disappear?

The serious expression on Xue An’s face also frightened Zhu Zhesheng, who secretly swallowed hard, cold sweat appearing on his forehead as he moved closer to Xue An.

"Mr. Xue, did you find anything unusual?"

Xue An shook his head, "Not for now."

Yue Qinghuan said solemnly, "If that’s the case, we should hurry up and move on, otherwise the longer we delay here, the more dangerous it becomes!"

At this point, there was no choice but to proceed.

Xue An nodded, and the three continued to move forward.

But this time, just moments after they started walking again, the strange sound was heard once again.

And this time all three heard it together.

This changed Yue Qinghuan’s expression, "What is it?"

Zhu Zhesheng’s voice even trembled, "Why does this sound so eerie?"

From the surrounding star gravel came a series of sounds similar to gears turning.

The sound was monotonous, yet it seemed to be closing in on Xue An’s group.

Suddenly!

Xue An’s eyes shone brightly, as he raised his hand and sent a palm strike towards Yue Qinghuan.

Yue Qinghuan was startled but did not dodge, because she knew that Xue An would never strike at her.

Indeed.

The palm strike brushed past Yue Qinghuan’s ear, directly blasting towards the rear.

Bang!

After a muffled sound, Yue Qinghuan and Zhu Zhesheng turned around to look.

Only to see Xue An holding fast a mechanical tentacle that extended from the star gravel.

This tentacle shimmered with a cold metallic luster, with several sharp claws at the tip.

Seeing this, Yue Qinghuan couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.

Just now, she hadn’t noticed anything when such a deadly tentacle got so close.

If not for Xue An’s timely discovery, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhu Zhesheng’s voice changed, "What is this thing?"

Xue An’s eyes shone with cold light, "I already knew, in a place called the Immortal Sect’s Cave Mansion, how could there not be guardians?"

"Guardians?" Zhu Zhesheng exclaimed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mechanical tentacle wriggled like a living creature, with such force that even Xue An’s body began to tremble.

Xue An sneered, "Trying to escape? Not so easy!"

Saying this, Xue An’s palm suddenly squeezed tightly, twisting forcefully in the opposite direction.

Crack, crack, crack!

Accompanied by a teeth-gnashing sound of metallic twisting, the tentacle was forcibly twisted into a spiral and then snapped in the middle.

Sparks flew, cogs mixed with some unknown oil spattered down.

Then the remaining half of the tentacle quickly retracted into the darkness.

Xue An casually tossed aside the other half in his hand, stepping out to give chase.

And at that moment, there was a sudden loud rumbling.

Not far from the three, several gigantic pieces of star gravel began to rapidly transform, and in the blink of an eye, turned into towering mechanical beasts.

These beasts all wielded long tentacles, attacking Xue An.

And from their formidable presence, it was clear that these mechanical beasts possessed at least Immortal Venerable level strength.

Yue Qinghuan’s gaze shifted, and in a flash, she was at Xue An’s side.

"What are you doing here?" Xue An asked without looking at her, his tone calm.

"Of course, to fight alongside you! After all, these are at least Immortal Venerable-level mechanical creatures!" Yue Qinghuan said.

"Haha!" Xue An chuckled lightly, "To deal with these brainless hulks of gears, I don’t need your help!"

With that, Xue An dodged an attack from a tentacle with a swift movement, then pinpointed the tip of the tentacle with his toe, forcefully pinning it underfoot.

Following that, Xue An, as if walking a tightrope, sprinted up the mechanical tentacle at incredible speed.

In a flash, all the mechanical beasts focused their attacks on Xue An, countless tentacles lashing relentlessly towards him.

But no matter how dense the attacks were, none could touch Xue An in the slightest.

Moving rapidly, he deftly dodged all attacks, reaching a peak of agility.

In a moment, Xue An was in front of the mechanical beast, and delivered a swift kick.

Thunk!

With a dull thud, the mechanical beast was sent flying by Xue An’s kick, exploding in mid-air.
