In the Museum of Deadly Beasts, the Rank 5 ghost-blood beast was highly rated. Out of all the Rank 5 beasts recorded in the museum, it was definitely one of the best, surpassing Xiao Huo and the jade dragon. It was ridiculously powerful in all aspects, and it even possessed near-immortal vitality and supernatural powers.
A ghost-blood beast like this seemed to have no weaknesses.
However, it was precisely because it was too powerful that it was incredibly difficult for a person to form a blood contract with it. Even if the contract was successful, it would be extremely unstable. A moment of carelessness could cause the pet beast to devour them whole, leaving not even their bones behind.
Hence, some people researched how two people could form a blood contract with a powerful pet beast.
However, such situations were rare, not to mention the case of a conjoined deformed person forming a blood contract with a beast.
While this was indeed rare, it was undeniable that this blood contract method was the best way to control the ghost-blood beast.
Conjoined people, two people sharing the same bloodline, forming a blood contract with a ferocious beast like the ghost-blood beast was like a match made in heaven. But similarly, no matter how compatible they were, the blood contract structure revolved around a triangular relationship. If one of the three corners collapsed, the entire blood contract would collapse like a roof that had lost its supporting pillar.
Lin Jin was doing exactly that. He used the Thunderfire Needle to quickly kill one of the conjoined deformed people. This way, he would be able to take out one of the corners.
Almost immediately, the balance was disrupted.
The other deformed person looked terrified as he called out for his younger brother. However, his younger brother's head was gone. He was clearly dead. Moreover, because they were conjoined, he could feel the pain as well. This made it even more impossible for him to maintain the power of the blood contract.
The Rank 5 ghost-blood beast immediately lost control.
Its raging blood was like a raging tsunami. When a blood contract beast like this lost control, it would immediately attack the person closest to it.
The previous owner of the blood contract was obviously the one closest to it.
Even if the deformed person was still trying his best to control the Rank 5 ghost-blood beast, his strength alone wasn't enough.
The surging ghost-blood beast instantly devoured the deformed person. Then, the sound of flesh being torn apart and cries of agony could be heard. The cries only lasted for a moment before abruptly stopping. Instead, the sound of flesh being torn apart continued.
Lin Jin knew that the conjoined twins were dead.
One had died to his own Thunderfire Needle, while the other had died to the Devil-Blood Beast's counterattack. Comparatively speaking, the first one had died more easily and quickly. The second one had died too miserably.
As Lin Jin stared at the completely out-of-control ghost-blood beast, he began to have other plans.
Ghost Blood Beasts were too rare.
It was as rare as Gu Mengzhong's ink beast, or even rarer.
This kind of ghost-blood beast was probably the only one in the world.
Today, the Demonic Blood Twins and another expert ambushed Lin Jin in an attempt to kill him, but in the end, they were killed by Lin Jin instead. In fact, ever since he used the Thunderfire Needle to kill one of them and caused him to lose control of his blood contract, Lin Jin had been plotting against the ghost-blood beast.
It was too rare.
If he could capture this rare exotic beast, whether it was for his own use or for others, it would be very suitable.
Most people in this world could only form a blood pact with one pet beast. Lin Jin used to think so too, but later on, he realized that this wasn't the case.
When he eavesdropped on Chu Chi and the others plotting against him, Lin Jin learned that Elder Ye had two pet beasts inside him. In other words, he had formed a blood pact with two pet beasts.
Since then, Lin Jin had been thinking about this. In the Museum of Deadly Beasts, he really did find a way to form a blood pact with a second pet beast.
Apart from that, he had also consulted Xiao Shu Lou.
As a Rank 5 beast appraiser who had lived for five hundred years, Xiao Shu Lou was very knowledgeable. From Xiao Shu Lou, Lin Jin learned about the possibility of forming a blood pact with a second pet beast.
Many people in this world had actually formed blood pacts with more than one pet beast. It was just that not many people knew about it.
However, even if Lin Jin wanted to form a blood pact with this ghost-blood beast, he would first have to subdue it.
After suffering a backlash from its blood contract owner, the ghost-blood beast had broken free from its restraints. It now looked like a pool of rolling blood.
As the blood flowed, it condensed into a blood giant that was more than ten feet tall. It looked just like its previous blood contract owner, but the difference was that this blood giant was made entirely out of blood. Although it had facial features, there was no sign of life in it, making it look more like a puppet.
Out of control, the ghost-blood beast was acting on instinct. It seemed to be afraid of Lin Jin, but it wasn't willing to escape. It wanted to continue devouring the flesh of others to strengthen itself.
This was the true nature of a ghost-blood beast.
A bloodthirsty monster that could devour other pet beasts and humans.
Lin Jin was a little worried. After all, this was a Rank 5 ghost-blood beast. Subduing it would be difficult. Moreover, although Lin Jin knew how to form a blood pact with a second pet beast, he had never done it before. If he failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, Lin Jin held back. When he used the Thunderfire Needle to kill the deformed conjoined twins, he didn't retrieve the needle. Instead, he had left it inside the conjoined twins' bodies. After the ghost-blood beast devoured them, the Thunderfire Needle was now inside the beast's body. Lin Jin invoked a spell to control the Thunderfire Needle to subdue the ghost-blood beast from the inside.
Unexpectedly, the moment the spell was cast, Lin Jin lost contact with the Thunderfire Needle.
His psyche seemed to have been erased in an instant. He couldn't sense it anymore.
"This is bad!"
Lin Jin knew this was bad. He didn't expect the ghost-blood beast to be so powerful that it could even devour the Thunderfire Needle. Lin Jin didn't have the time to feel sorry for his Thunderfire Needle anymore. He had to think of a way to deal with the ghost-blood beast's next attack.
While Lin Jin was facing off against the beast, a voice suddenly rang out.
"I've finally found you."
It was Xiao Shu Lou's voice.
Lin Jin was overjoyed.
Looking up, he saw a painting flying toward him. Then, a person dashed out from it. It was Xiao Shu Lou in her green robe.
She was currently filled with murderous intent.
Back when she and Lin Jin were inside Peach Blossom Residence, Lin Jin was suddenly ambushed. The other party was skillful, using a barrier to envelop Lin Jin before teleporting him away.
Xiao Shu was furious. After all, her best friend had been abducted right in front of her. She couldn't tolerate this.
Hence, Xiao Shu Lou began to track them down. Had it been anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to track them down. But Xiao Shu Lou was so capable and powerful that she managed to track them down.
"Xiao Shu Lou, help me subdue this ghost-blood beast." Lin Jin was elated to see Xiao Shu Lou here. If he was alone, he might not be able to subdue this Rank 5 ghost-blood beast. In the end, he might end up with nothing to show for it and even a Thunderfire Needle would have to be sacrificed.
But now that Xiao Shu Lou was here, subduing this ghost-blood beast shouldn't be a problem.
