Hunting, Soul Beneath the Grass!

Ten minutes later, downstairs at Mingyuan Garden.

Ye Lei looked at the three people behind him and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Mm," the three behind him answered in unison.

"Then let's go," Ye Lei said.

An hour and a half later, Riverside Forest.

"We're here. Nuan'er, you'd better summon your martial souls, just in case."

As soon as he spoke, red, blue, and black lights flared up behind him.

Just as Ye Lei and the other three headed deeper into the forest, shouts suddenly rang out ahead. "A monster! Run!"

The moment Ye Lei heard that, he was instantly intrigued and led the other three rushing over.

When they were still over a hundred meters away, the Detector in Ye Lei's hand sounded. "Ding, soul beast detected ahead. Five-hundred-year Scaled Beast!"

It appeared at just the right time. My father-in-law happens to need a defensive soul ring. Ye Lei did not say the latter aloud.

When they arrived, they saw a soul beast the size of a small car wreaking havoc ahead. Its body was mainly yellow, covered in green spikes and nail-sized scales. It was the Scaled Beast!

Ye Lei turned to Han's Father and said, "Uncle, get ready to absorb the soul ring."

With that, he walked straight toward the soul beast before him. Then, under the shocked gazes of Han Nuan and the other two, a small blue blade of grass appeared in Ye Lei's hand. At the same time, six black rings rose from beneath his feet and hovered around his waist one after another.

The instant the Scaled Beast saw Ye Lei, a flicker of panic flashed through its eyes. It turned to flee.

Unfortunately, it had encountered Ye Lei.

Ye Lei slowly uttered, "You want to run? No chance. Blue Silver Grass Entanglement!"

As his words fell, a thick Blue Silver Grass shot out from the ground and instantly wrapped around the Scaled Beast's waist.

Blue Silver Assault Formation!

Before the newly bound Scaled Beast could struggle, it was riddled with holes by over a dozen Blue Silver Grass spikes that burst rapidly from underground.

"Uncle, you can come over now."

Still unable to recover from the overwhelming battle he had just witnessed, Han's Father slowly stepped forward. Looking at the dying Scaled Beast, he instinctively asked, "Is it really okay, Xiao Lei?"

"Don't worry, Uncle. Just give it one more hit," Ye Lei said.

Only then did Han's Father take the military dagger Ye Lei handed him and thrust it hard into the Scaled Beast's neck...

A few seconds later, a yellow ring appeared above the soul beast.

"Uncle, you need to use your mind to guide the soul ring."

Hearing this, Han's Father hurriedly did as instructed. In an instant, the soul ring slowly drifted over and hovered around his waist. Then, at Ye Lei's signal, he sat down on the spot and began absorbing the soul ring...

After seeing Han's Father absorb the soul ring, Ye Lei called Han Nuan and the others over.

"What is it, Ye Lei? My dad..." Han Nuan asked.

"It's fine, Nuan'er. Uncle is absorbing the soul ring. He'll be okay," Ye Lei said.

Hearing this, Han Nuan was relieved.

"I called you over so you can hurry and cultivate, so you'll be ready to absorb soul rings later."

"Oh, okay," Han Nuan and the other person replied.

Seeing this, Ye Lei also sat down to stand guard for the family of three.

At that moment, the system's voice rang out in Ye Lei's mind:

Task One complete: 1/10. Please keep up the good work, Host. May you complete the task as soon as possible.
