As soon as Shu Xiao Lou arrived, she was dragged into this battle by Lin Jin.
However, Shu Xiao Lou was indeed impressive. Although she didn't form a blood pact with any pet beasts, she was a skilled spellcaster. She plucked a jade hairpin from her hair and tossed it forward. The hairpin instantly expanded several times in size and like a stabilizing needle, it pinned the ghost-blood beast to the ground. Although the beast could still retaliate, it couldn't escape or move.
Lin Jin was dumbfounded by Shu Xiao Lou's move.
Her skill was truly impressive. Her jade hairpin was definitely no ordinary item. It must be a powerful artifact. She had basically pinned the ghost-blood beast to death.
However, it wasn't enough to tame the beast.
"I've read about this ghost-blood beast in ancient texts. This beast is born from a beast's body and is born of malevolence. When it's young, it can form a blood pact directly. However, it's already in its prime so to tame it, we'll have to extinguish its malevolent aura and burn its body. In other words, it's like boiling water until there's not much left. Only then can we tame it."
Shu Xiao Lou suddenly explained.
Lin Jin was shocked. Shu Xiao Lou was right. What she said was the same as the taming method in the Museum of Deadly Beasts. However, Lin Jin wouldn't have known all of this on his own.
Shu Xiao Lou was indeed impressive. Her Five Rings were well-deserved. Lin Jin even thought that Five Rings might not be enough. Perhaps Shu Xiao Lou could achieve Six Rings.
Now wasn't the time to think about this.
Now that Shu Xiao Lou had the ghost-blood beast pinned in place, all that was left was to burn it with fire. Perhaps only Lin Jin could do this.
"Xiao Huo, come back!"
Lin Jin shouted and Xiao Huo immediately turned into a ball of fire, merging back into one with Lin Jin. After all, Lin Jin alone wasn't enough to cast a fire spell. Xiao Huo's Yin Yang Dharma body was needed.
Back in Maple City's underground fire vein, Lin Jin used the Earth Brilliance Green Flame to craft a fire amulet. He had never used it but now, he had to use it to tame the ghost-blood beast.
Shu Xiaolou was knowledgeable, but while she knew how to tame an adult ghost-blood beast, she didn't have a suitable flame. Lin Jin took out a small object and tossed it into the air. The next instant, the object burst into flames and turned into a gigantic fireball in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, Xiao Shu Lou's eyes glowed as he made a mental note to ask Lin Jin to teach him this fire manipulation skill.
Lin Jin was oblivious to the fact that he had 'exposed his wealth'. This was his first time using this fire amulet and with just a slight activation, the flames on it were already uncontrollable.
Lin Jin was pleasantly surprised.
This Fire Charm Seal of his was clearly an extremely powerful magic tool. The only problem was that he wasn't proficient in controlling it yet. Otherwise, he would have used it in the previous life or death battle.
Even though he wasn't used to it yet, it was enough for now. He pointed a finger, and the huge fireball landed on the Devil-Blood Beast's body. In an instant, the Devil-Blood Beast began to writhe.
The sound of water and fire colliding could be heard, mixed with a strange howl. Blood-colored mist rose into the air, turning the area within several hundred feet into a steaming pot.
Had it been a regular flame, even Lin Jin's Dragonfire would have been extinguished by the Devil-Blood Beast in no time. However, Lin Jin's Fire Charm Seal was an anomaly.
Just like the sun entering the ocean, either the sun would be extinguished or the ocean would be boiled. Relatively speaking, the latter was more likely.
Xiao Shu moved closer to Lin Jin and asked, "Lin Jin, what's this fireball of yours? The flames on it are green on the inside and red on the outside. It's clearly not a regular flame."
Of course it wasn't a regular flame.
Lin Jin mused. This Fire Charm Seal was a combination of Dragonfire, Phoenix Fire, and Earthbright Green Flame. How could it be a regular flame?
However, after spending more time with Xiao Shu over the past few days, Lin Jin could tell the 'greed' in her eyes so he said, "Shu Xiaolou, don't even think about it. I only have one Fire Charm Seal so don't even think about it."
He was trying to cut off the other party's thoughts.
Dealing with Shu Xiaolou had to be this direct and decisive. Otherwise, Lin Jin would definitely be annoyed to death.
The Devil-Blood Beast's cries continued. Sure enough, Shu Xiaolou kept asking questions from the side. In the end, Lin Jin decided to keep his mouth shut. 'If you keep asking, I'll pretend to be deaf and mute.'
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed malevolent energy that was being burned out.
The malevolent energy gathered above his head, forming a blood-red cloud. It was quite a frightening sight.
"Shu Xiaolou, do you know what to do with the malevolent energy after it's burned out?" Lin Jin asked. He didn't know because the Museum of Deadly Beasts didn't mention it.
Xiao Shu looked up and answered nonchalantly, "Malevolent energy is like poison. If fire can't extinguish it, it would be harmful to abandon it. Why don't we use rain to dissolve it?"
Lin Jin was stunned, gaining a new understanding of Xiao Shu's abilities. Admittedly, Xiao Shu's idea might really be the only one.
Since the malevolent energy was poisonous, diluting it would greatly reduce the harm.
The fire amulet was still scorching hot and the flames were tumbling. Meanwhile, the Devil-Blood Beast had shrunk to one-tenth of its original size. It was no longer howling and now, the Devil-Blood Beast looked rather pitiful.
If it burned any further, it would probably be gone.
Lin Jin put the fire amulet away.
The flames disappeared and the fire amulet returned to Lin Jin's palm. When he touched it, it didn't feel hot at all. Instead, it felt cold.
Xiao Shu stared at it intently. Lin Jin quickly put it away into his storage mark.
"Stingy!"
Xiao Shu said before turning to the Devil-Blood Beast she had pinned to the ground with her jade hairpin.
"It's about time!" Xiao Shu suddenly made a move. She put away her jade hairpin and reached out to grab the Devil-Blood Beast. Then, as if she was tearing a piece of paper, the Devil-Blood Beast was split into two.
She tossed one half to Lin Jin.
"Here, you take half and I'll take the other half!"
Lin Jin was startled but he still reached out to catch it. The Devil-Blood Beast felt like a large ball of cold silk in his hand, slippery to the touch.
Meanwhile, Xiao Shu grabbed her half of the Devil-Blood Beast in her hand. Then, she raised her arm above her head and tilted her head back as if she was drinking wine. Then, she ate the half of the Devil-Blood Beast.
Lin Jin wasn't mistaken. She really ate the half.
This scene was a little scary. Lin Jin didn't expect Xiao Shu to eat the Devil-Blood Beast. However, Xiao Shu didn't seem to mind. After eating it, she licked her lips as if she wanted more. Then, she turned to look at the half of the Devil-Blood Beast in Lin Jin's hand.
Lin Jin quickly put his hand behind his back.
Xiao Shu seemed to be thinking. After a moment, she finally looked away. The next instant, her green dress began to change color. In the blink of an eye, it turned blood red.
