Chapter 4: The Special Functions of the Nameless Method
"Great, then Grandpa Markel, when are we going to set off?"
Gu Han was delighted when he heard Markel say that there was a target of his own in the Soul Hunting Forest, and the age limit was also suitable. He also showed excitement on the surface.
Sure enough, after seeing Gu Han like this, Master Markel felt relieved.
He was just a child, and there was a kind of fun of cultivation.
"Haha, without further ado, I can arrange someone to take you to the Soul Hunting Forest now. No, I will take you there myself this time."
"Thank you, Grandpa Markel." Gu Han bowed slightly.
"Hey, there is no need to be so reserved between us."
Markel waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say more.
After a simple packing, Markel called a carriage, and two great soul master-level deacons took Gu Han to the Soul Hunting Forest outside the city.
Of course, Lu Rentao was one of them, and the other great soul master was a defense-type great soul master whose martial soul was an ice turtle.
A Soul Elder and two Great Soul Masters are a very luxurious lineup in this remote town.
After passing the guards and entering the Soul Hunting Forest, Master Markel said,
"Xiao Han, you should walk between us, be alert and vigilant."
"Okay."
Gu Han nodded. Although it was just a small Soul Hunting Forest, the soul beasts in it would not be more than seven hundred years old at most, but it is better to be careful than to be cautious, so we should still be vigilant.
The Soul Hunting Forest here is different from the inland. Although it is already spring, the interior of the forest is still snow-white and the cold wind is biting.
With the help of the Spirit Hall, they all know where the soul beasts live here, and they came to the edge of an ice lake with ease.
"This is where the two ice crystal hedgehogs live, be alert."
Master Markel's voice fell, and all people immediately responded and summoned their own spirits.
Master Markel's spirit is a white polar bear. After possessing it, the whole person grew from a little old man of more than one meter to more than two meters, and some white brown hair grew on his body.
Lu Rentao's martial spirit is a snow wolf. Gu Han had seen it when he first awakened his martial spirit, especially the bloodthirsty green eyes, which scared several children to tears.
The appearance of another great soul master made Gu Han's mouth twitch slightly. He tried to hold back his smile and turned his head away from the man.
The great soul master looked like a turtle shell, and looked like a big turtle that had become a spirit.
Gu Han also summoned his martial spirit Mysterious Ice Sword.
Because it was a weapon martial spirit, his physical characteristics did not change.
Lu Rentao and another great soul master were on both sides of Gu Han, while Master Markel walked alone in front, protecting Gu Han in the center.
The few people finally found a cave on the other side of the ice lake.
"This is almost the cave of the ice crystal hedgehog."
Master Markel felt a strong soul power fluctuation in the cave, and said in a serious tone:
"You all retreat!"
As he said that, Master Markel's second soul ring lit up, and a polar bear appeared behind him and howled to the sky.
"Second soul skill, bear shock!!"
Master Markel roared, punched the ground, and immediately caused the ground to shake violently, and a small hedgehog with a body size of more than 30 centimeters was shaken out.
This was the little ice crystal hedgehog that was less than a hundred years old. Master Markel saw that the big one had not come out yet, and immediately stretched out his big hand to attack the little hedgehog.
"Roar!"
With a roar, more than a dozen ice swords shot out from the cave entrance.
Then, the cave entrance broke open, and a three-meter-tall white hedgehog flew out. It had four sword-shaped barbs on its back, and it was obviously four hundred years old.
The real target finally appeared.
"Prepare for battle!"
The four people immediately became alert and confronted the four-hundred-year-old ice crystal hedgehog in a serious battle array.
The little ice crystal hedgehog had already fled into the depths of the forest without looking back.
"Go!"
Master Markel shouted, and the three of them immediately used their strongest soul skills to attack the ice crystal hedgehog.
"Roar!!!"
The ice crystal hedgehog roared, and the spikes on its back shot out in all directions, forcing Lu Rentao and another great soul master to retreat.
Master Markel slapped down with his bear paws, smashing all the ice crystal sword energy that attacked him.
Since the ice crystal hedgehog's attack was wide-ranging, Gu Han was also within the coverage of these attacks.
"Not good!"
The three of them naturally noticed Gu Han's situation. This child is indeed a genius, but no matter how talented he is, he is just a level 10 soul master without a soul ring. Facing the attack of a 400-year-old soul beast, how could he resist it?
"Xiao Han, get out of the way!"
Master Markel was the first to react, rushing towards Gu Han and reminding him loudly.
Gu Han's eyes were stern, and he used special footwork to avoid most of the ice crystal sword energy.
Gu Han, who couldn't avoid it, used all his soul power to swing the Mysterious Ice Sword to cut it open.
Fortunately, it was just a 400-year-old soul beast. Relying on the powerful soul power brought by the nameless method, Gu Han could still resist it.
Seeing this, the three of them were slightly surprised. They didn't expect that Gu Han could withstand this wave of attacks by himself.
They all know that it's a 400-year-old soul beast, and it's a relatively powerful one. A level 10 soul master who hasn't become a soul master can actually withstand it.
Is this the gap between geniuses and ordinary people?
Although the ice crystal hedgehog is not powerful among ice-attributed soul beasts, it is much stronger than ordinary soul beasts.
After slashing several sword energies in a row, Gu Han's arm began to numb slightly.
At this time, Master Markel also successfully came back to help. His tall body blocked in front of Gu Han, and his heavy bear paws swung to knock away all the sword energy.
"Second soul skill!!"
Lu Rentao roared, swung his claws violently, and the claw marks crossed and attacked the ice crystal hedgehog, forcing the opponent to stop attacking.
Although the ice crystal hedgehog is powerful, it can't last too long under the joint attack of a soul elder and two great soul masters.
"Roar~"
With a whine, the huge body of the ice crystal hedgehog fell to the ground. Except for a weak breath, it could no longer move.
"Xiao Han, give it the last blow!"
Master Markel urged immediately. Because this ice crystal hedgehog was too difficult to deal with, even he had tried his best and it was difficult to show mercy.
If they delayed any longer, if this ice crystal hedgehog died, their work would be in vain.
Gu Han naturally knew the priorities. He walked in front of the ice crystal hedgehog, took a deep breath, and suddenly stabbed the sword into the ice crystal hedgehog's head.
Soon, a yellow soul ring slowly condensed above the ice crystal hedgehog.
"Xiao Han, sit down cross-legged, calm down, and use soul power to guide the soul ring to establish a connection with you."
"Okay."
Gu Han nodded, sat cross-legged beside the soul ring, and began to close his eyes to absorb the soul ring.
The other three stood by to protect Gu Han.
The soul ring was absorbed smoothly, without any pain, but Gu Han frowned secretly.
Because Gu Han could feel that the nameless book in his mind suddenly began to glow, this was the first time this happened.
The energy of this soul ring was quickly stored and entered Gu Han's dantian. At the same time, an inexplicable skill appeared in his mind, which was most likely a soul skill.
However, he found something very interesting, that is, the soul ring was not put on his body, but appeared in the book in his mind.
At the same time, there was a strange knowledge in his mind, which could simulate the soul ring while slowly increasing the age of the soul ring according to the nameless method.
