"Little sister, so you're here too." Lu Yunhe smiled as he walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Zombie Cthulhu. Lu Yunhe trembled in fear, and Lu Ba, who had been acting all high and mighty, immediately shrank back behind Lu Yunhe.
"Shh!" Lu Xiaoyun hurriedly gestured at her brother to not disturb Lin Jin.
Lu Yunhe nodded. The current scene was extremely strange. Of course, the main reason was because of the thing in the coffin. Lu Yunhe felt that he had seen many things, but he had never seen such a ferocious beast.
It was simply too terrifying.
Look at how scared the Lu Ba is.
Lu Yunhe looked at the Lu Ba by his feet and shook his head repeatedly.
Recently, Lu Ba had not only been shedding his fur, but he had also become a lot more timid. This was really quite vexing for him.
At this time, Lu Xiaoyun also saw Lu Ba, who had lost a lot of hair. Her eyes widened and she whispered, "Brother, what's wrong with Lu Ba?"
Lu Yunhe had not told Lu Xiaoyun about Lu Ba shedding his hair, mainly because he did not want to embarrass himself. Even if it was just a consultation, Lu Yunhe had found someone he was familiar with to keep it a secret.
It was just that recently, he really couldn't take it anymore, so he was anxious.
"Don't mention it. I came to find Brother Lin." Lu Yunhe was helpless. Lu Xiaoyun frowned, "Why didn't you find me? No matter what, I'm still an apprentice beast appraiser. I can cure Lu Ba of a minor problem like hair loss in a matter of minutes. "
Previously, Lu Yunhe was too embarrassed to trouble his sister.
The main reason was that he was also afraid of losing face.
However, Lu Xiaoyun was clearly a little angry. Lu Yunhe could only whisper, "Then, Xiaoyun, take a look and see what's wrong with her."
"I'm not looking. You don't even trust your sister. I'm not looking for trouble." Lu Xiaoyun was throwing a tantrum. Lu Yunhe was about to retort when Lin Jin said, "Brother Yunhe, bring Lu Ba over. Let me take a look."
It turned out that while they were talking, Lin Jin had finished treating Zombie Cthulhu.
This time, the effect was excellent, and the process was very smooth. Zombie Cthulhu had completely broken away from the coffin made of Yin Locust Wood and did not need the nourishment of Yin Qi. Moreover, his old injuries had also been healed.
Of course, the illness was gone like spinning silk. If he wanted to truly recover, he still needed a period of time to recuperate. However, the major problem was already gone.
In fact, Lin Jin didn't even need to perform acupuncture on zombie cthulhu every day. He could just let the creature recuperate on its own.
'The next time I visit the Visitation Hall, I'll have Ghost Child inform Coffin Man to pick up Zombie Cthulhu, 'Lin Jin muttered inwardly.
As for Lu Xiaoyun and Lu Yunhe, Lin Jin had noticed them earlier. Lu Ba's bald appearance didn't escape Lin Jin's notice either.
Hearing Lin Jin's words, Lu Yunhe hurriedly brought Lu Ba over. Lu Ba clearly recognized Lin Jin, so he hurried over obediently.
After all, it was Lin Jin who helped it evolve last time.
After a quick glance, Lin Jin asked, "Brother Yunhe, have you fed Lu Ba any pills?"
"Medicinal pills?" Lu Yunhe stared blankly at first, then thought for a moment and shook his head. "No!"
Clearly, Lu Yunhe was very certain.
Lin Jin nodded and asked, "Then, have you ever had a grudge with someone?"
This time, Lu Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "A few days ago, there was a wandering pharmacist who saw Lu Ba on the street and insisted on stopping me. He wanted to take a look at Lu Ba. How could I trust a wandering pharmacist? Naturally, I didn't give him any face and scolded him on the street. Does that count?"
"That's right." Lin Jin nodded. Without hiding anything, he pointed at a spot below Lu Ba's neck. Then, a needle flew out from his hand and pierced through something. There was a ripping sound and a black beetle the size of a fingernail fell out.
There was a needle on the black beetle's body. But even so, the beetle wasn't dead yet. It was still struggling, trying to escape.
"Unorthodox!" Lin Jin suddenly exclaimed. With a point of his finger, a ball of flame appeared out of thin air and burned the black beetle.
The flames were so hot that in the blink of an eye, the black beetle was incinerated into nothingness.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but everyone present, including Lu Yunhe and Lu Xiaoyun, seemed to hear a person's scream the moment the black beetle was burned to death.
After the black beetle was burned to ashes, Lin Jin retracted his Dragonfire.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Lu Yunhe and Lu Xiaoyun were dumbfounded, especially Lu Yunhe. He clearly saw that the black beetle came from Lu Ba.
"Brother Lin, what … what the hell is that?" Lu Yunhe stuttered. He could tell that the black beetle was up to no good.
"Sorcery." Lin Jin didn't hide it. In the beast appraiser industry, there were good and evil. This was no secret in the industry.
When Lu Yunhe mentioned that he had a conflict with that wandering herbalist, Lin Jin knew that this was most likely a spell cast by that wandering herbalist.
Strictly speaking, that wandering pharmacist was also a beast appraiser. His spell could only be used on pet beasts.
That Black Beetle was one of Lu Yunhe's techniques. When it was used, no one would be able to sense it. Furthermore, Lu Yunhe and Lu Ba were all careless people who didn't pay attention to the details. Thus, they didn't even know that they had been struck by the black beetle.
While it was only shedding his fur, if this continued, Lu Ba wouldn't just be shedding his fur.
The most troublesome thing was that most beast appraisers wouldn't be able to tell. The only reason Lin Jin could was because he was highly skilled, far surpassing other beast appraisers of the same rank.
After figuring out what was going on, Lu Yunhe was infuriated.
"That b * stard! I only scolded him a little and he resorted to such a vicious spell." Lu Yunhe gritted his teeth.
Lu Ba was his lifeblood. If anything happened to him, his life would be ruined.
"It's not that simple." Lin Jin chuckled. "If he released a blood contract insect formed from half of his cultivation just because he was scolded a little, he'd be a fool."
The blood contract insect was a spell only demonic beast appraisers knew of. Moreover, the requirements to create one were extremely stringent.
It was so stringent that out of ten people, only two could succeed. Moreover, they had to go through all sorts of pain.
"Generally speaking, the purpose of a blood contract insect is to steal another person's pet beast. In other words, the other party has taken a liking to Lu Ba and wants to take him away. Once Lu Ba's fur is gone, the blood contract insect will burrow into his brain. Then, he'll be completely under the other party's control and the blood contract will automatically be broken."
Lin Jin's words sent chills down Lu Yunhe's spine.
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. If he didn't encounter Lin Jin, he would be in deep trouble. Lu Ba was now a Rank 3 pet beast and according to Lin Jin, he had great potential. If he was taken away just like that, Lu Yunhe wouldn't even have a place to cry.
"But you don't have to worry anymore. I've broken his blood contract insect spell and burned that evil insect. Lu Ba will be fine now. He just needs to eat, drink, and stay in the sun. In half a month, his fur will grow back," Lin Jin reassured Lu Yunhe.
Lu Yunhe could tell that Lin Jin was being nonchalant, but things couldn't be that simple. Beside him, Lu Xiaoyun asked directly, "Master Lin, we clearly heard a scream just now. That definitely wasn't an insect's cry."
Lin Jin nodded. "Blood contract insects are dangerous to create and the caster has to sacrifice half of their cultivation. Now that my Dragonfire has burned everything, that person's soul must've been damaged too. How could he not scream?"
Only then did Lu Yunhe realize that Lin Jin had just used a fire spell.
That flame was clearly only a small cluster, but it gave off an enormous deterrent force. Furthermore, even from far away, one could feel the scorching heat. It was definitely not an ordinary flame.
Right, Lin Jin mentioned Dragonfire.
Meanwhile, Lu Xiaoyun was worried about something else.
"Feud?" Lin Jin smiled. "That's for sure. But since they were the ones who started it, they can't blame others for breaking their spell. It's fine. If they want revenge, they should come after me."
