The last time Lin Jin used the Nebula Barrier was in the royal capital. Although Lin Jin used it occasionally after that, he never used this flag again because he had no use for it.
However, Lin Jin wouldn't be stingy when he needed to use it.
The mansion was huge and the eight-headed viper's aura seemed to be coming from another direction. Hence, Lin Jin decided to use the Nebula Barrier to seal off this area.
No matter how capable the viper was, it would have nowhere to run. Lin Jin was using this method to end this once and for all. Once the viper was trapped here, he would slowly deal with it.
Under the Nebula Barrier, the assistant minister's residence was isolated from the outside world. Not only could the people inside not leave, but outsiders couldn't enter either.
At the back door of the residence, Yang Qingshi, who was about to take this opportunity to escape, stared dumbfoundedly at the wall of mist before him. Sensing something was wrong, he quickly picked up his pace.
Unexpectedly, when he dashed into the mist and came out again, he found himself back at the same spot.
He tried again, but the result was the same.
In that instant, Yang Qingshi broke out in cold sweat.
As knowledgeable as he was, he had never seen something like this before. Initially, he thought he had everything under control. But with the sudden appearance of this mist barrier, Yang Qingshi couldn't keep his cool anymore.
He realized that no matter what he did, he couldn't get out.
"What kind of evil spell is this? I refuse to believe it can stop me." Yang Qingshi's initial plan was to take advantage of the chaos to escape when his master's doppelganger arrived, but he was panicking. After all, he knew very well that his master's doppelganger wouldn't last long. If he missed this golden opportunity, he wouldn't be able to escape anymore.
At this, Yang Qingshi forced himself to calm down. Then, using everything he had learned in his life, he began to think of a way to break the barrier before him.
He had used spells, artifacts, and even the Spell Breaker Beast's blood. But still, he couldn't break through the cloud wall. Gradually, Yang Qingshi could no longer keep his cool.
By now, Lin Jin had arrived at the garden. This place looked like hell. Countless severed limbs had turned the once tranquil garden into a bloody mess. It was no longer recognizable as it used to be.
At that moment, the Lieutenant Governor was leading a dozen soldiers to fight a monster covered in blood. However, it was obvious that it was a one-sided massacre.
Only the Left Overseer could block one or two attacks, while the others couldn't even withstand a single attack.
The Lieutenant Governor's pet beast was severely injured, but the golden lion was still as brave as ever. Even though it knew it would die in battle, it wouldn't back down.
But now that Lin Jin was here, it wouldn't have to die.
The monster swung its tail, which was like a steel whip, and sent the lion flying. The lion coughed up a mouthful of blood, and as soon as it landed, the monster chased after it, preparing to use its sharp claws to tear the lion's throat.
In the nick of time, Lin Jin flicked his finger and shot out a needle.
Strangely enough, this blood monster was unafraid of any kind of attack. Be it arrows or saber slashes, this monster didn't even dodge or look at them. It was as if it had an immortal body.
But this time, Lin Jin's tiny needle struck fear into the blood monster's heart. It immediately retracted its hand and dodged. And with that, the golden lion managed to survive.
The needle pierced into a rock nearby and completely sank into it. The rock was instantly covered in cracks that resembled a spider web. If Lin Jin were to touch it again, it would probably shatter into pieces.
As Lin Jin landed, his nose and mouth were filled with the stench of blood. Based on the situation here, at least a hundred people had died in the hands of this blood monster.
"Appraiser Lin, be careful of this blood monster," the Lieutenant Governor reminded. The Lieutenant Governor reminded Lin Jin. Lin Jin nodded but didn't attack immediately. Instead, he looked at the injured soldier's pet beast.
Besides the golden lion, there were more than a dozen injured pet beasts. Some of them were so badly injured that their stomachs were split open.
Lin Jin knew that he was involved in today's incident. If it weren't for him, these brave soldiers wouldn't have gotten involved. Hence, he felt apologetic, but more than that, he was furious.
With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Jin unleashed his coiled wire needle to its fullest extent. The pet beasts with lighter injuries were immediately able to stand up while those with heavier injuries were quickly mended with the coiled wire needle. At the same time, Lin Jin took out a bottle of pills and fed them to the injured pet beasts.
The situation was under control in an instant. Other than those who were already dead and Lin Jin couldn't bring them back to life, Lin Jin would do his best to treat the rest, no matter how badly injured they were.
This alone was enough to stun everyone. Anyone with a little common sense would know that most beast appraisers weren't capable of this.
The blood monster didn't continue attacking. For one, it was still wary of Lin Jin. For two, it was curious as to how this young beast appraiser had such skills. No matter where he was, even if he was in a premium country, he would still be considered one of the best.
As the saying went, the expert knew the ropes. The blood monster was definitely an expert in this field. Hence, it kept nodding at Lin Jin with admiration in its eyes.
"Great needle technique, great technique!"
The crimson man actually praised him.
Meanwhile, Lin Jin quickly treated the injured pet beasts. As for the injured soldiers, Lin Jin could only give them a simple treatment. Even so, the soldiers were grateful and excited to see Lin Jin.
Especially since Lin Jin had saved their pet beasts. This was a huge favor. Soldiers were iron-blooded but they were also gentle. This was especially true for companions like pet beasts that had always been by their side. They treated them like family.
They thought the injured pet beasts wouldn't be able to survive so the despair and sorrow they felt was indescribable. But at the end of the tunnel, Lin Jin came and treated them all. Even the ones who were the most severely injured didn't give up. With this, he won over the soldiers' hearts.
"Thank you, Appraiser Lin!"
One of the soldiers couldn't help but kowtow. Lin Jin helped him up and had them leave with the Lieutenant Governor.
"We are willing to fight alongside Appraiser Lin and face death with equanimity!" None of the soldiers wanted to leave as they shouted with glaring eyes.
Lin Jin's expression darkened as he turned to the Lieutenant Governor. The latter understood what Lin Jin meant.
They had fought this blood monster earlier and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that they were no match for it. Hence, they would only be a burden if they stayed here any longer.
The Lieutenant Governor was a wise man so he immediately shouted, "Soldiers, listen up! Follow me and leave this place immediately!"
Now that the Lieutenant Governor had given the order, the soldiers didn't dare to disobey.
Once the soldiers left, Lin Jin could focus on dealing with the blood monster.
Come to think of it, Lin Jin had been on high alert since the beginning. He thought the blood monster would take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but it didn't.
While the monster was sizing Lin Jin up, Lin Jin was doing the same.
Unlike the others, Lin Jin was able to observe the monster closely. He could tell that this blood monster was just a 'clone' of a master spellcaster.
