Spirit-devouring ghost worm was a rare Rank 6 insect beast. Refined using the Five Elemental Arts, it had a body of extreme yin and was immune to fire. It enjoyed devouring immortal energy and loved to feast on immortal flesh.
There were three evolution methods and four refinement methods …
Lin Jin frowned when he saw the disgusting body of the strange worm floating in the air inside the museum.
Admittedly, this area was extremely creepy.
Too creepy.
The Spirit-Devouring Ghost Bug was an extremely unique and rare species. In the Museum of Deadly Beasts, there were only a handful of ferocious beasts that could be described as' phoenix feathers and qilin horns. 'In fact, it was the only one of its kind.
Based on this fact alone, this creature was probably even rarer and more precious than the giant panda that Lin Jin was familiar with.
Moreover, these spirit devouring ghost worms were specially refined by Lord Gai Yun using spells. They were basically a special kind of artifact.
A living artifact.
Of course, they were rare.
If anyone else encountered these things, even a powerful true immortal like Huo Yuan would have no way of dealing with them. They would be doomed.
Similarly, if a mortal like Lin Jin were to get entangled by these spirit devouring ghost worms, even if he relied on artifacts, he would end up worse than Huo Yuan.
Because Lin Jin didn't have enough immortal energy to be devoured. Without spirit energy, he would have to eat flesh and blood. If that happened, he would die for sure.
Xiang Yun was aware of this too so she spoke up to stop Lin Jin from touching it. She didn't want Lin Jin to seek his own death.
However, both Huo Yuan and Xiang Yun didn't know one thing.
Lin Jin had the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
On the other hand, no matter how high or low a pet beast was, their strengths and weaknesses, the Museum of Deadly Beasts' appraisals were all transparent to Lin Jin.
Based on the law of nature, the stronger something was, the more fatal its weakness.
However, most people wouldn't know about this. This was Lin Jin's advantage. Even if he wasn't an immortal, under special circumstances, he could unleash combat strength and skills that even a true immortal couldn't match up to.
Just like now.
Lin Jin studied the refinement method of this spirit devouring ghost worm. Now that he was confident, he reached out to grab it again.
Huo Yuan and female immortal Xiang Yun were stunned.
It would have been understandable if the other party had acted rashly without knowing what was going on. However, Zhang Xuan had already warned him, and yet, the other party still insisted on courting death. That was a huge problem.
"No!"
"What are you doing?"
Both of them spoke at the same time, but this time, Lin Jin was steeled. Ignoring what they had to say, he reached out and grabbed a spirit devourer worm.
This thing looked like a weird octopus leg, or a fat earthworm full of lumps. In short, it didn't feel good in his hand.
If Lin Jin had to describe this thing with one word, it would be 'disgusting'.
But it was like eating bubble gum. Once it was stuck, it couldn't be shaken off.
"Be careful, this thing can corrode your skin and flesh, and it will instantly fuse with your skin and flesh. It's impossible to peel it off …" The Fire Source Monk said anxiously, but when he said the last sentence, he suddenly realized something.
This spirit devourer worm in Lin Jin's hand seemed to have come from his body.
But before this, he had tried everything he could think of but to no avail. Could it be that Lin Jin was just lucky?
But Lin Jin didn't use any special skills. He just reached out to grab and pull. That was all.
What was going on?
Huo Yuan felt a little better after having one spirit devourer worm ripped off. But that was it. After all, there were more than ten spirit devourer worms in his body now. Almost all of them had burrowed into his body, becoming one with his organs and veins. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to peel them off.
While Huo Yuan was still in shock, Lin Jin put the first ghost worm aside and reached out to grab a second one.
This second one only managed to reveal its head before Lin Jin forcefully pulled it out from Huo Yuan's flesh. The scene was indescribable, but Huo Yuan felt strangely refreshed.
When Lin Jin waved his hand after pulling the second spirit devourer worm out, Xiang Yun was dumbfounded.
She couldn't imagine how Lin Jin did it. It looked so easy, so simple. It was as if he had just grabbed something from one place and placed it somewhere else.
It was that simple.
However, she knew very well that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
She observed carefully. When the spirit devourer worm was in Lin Jin's hand, it didn't struggle at all. This was clearly different from the other spirit devourer worms she knew.
This evil creature was fierce, so how could it be so docile?
Under normal circumstances, it would definitely struggle and retaliate against its captor. But the reality was just as she saw it.
The worm was docile.
It felt very familiar. Right, Xiang Yun remembered now. This was just like when God Lord Yan took the spirit devourer worm. Instead of resisting, it was very obedient.
But how was this possible?
Xiang Yun's mind was a mess. Meanwhile, Lin Jin had already taken out the third and fourth spirit devourer worms.
It went smoothly, so smoothly that Lin Jin was surprised.
The refining method provided by the Museum of Deadly Beasts was, in fact, very simple. It was like an extremely sturdy iron door. Without the key, it would be impossible to pass through. No matter how one rammed, chopped, or hacked, the result would be the same, even though it would create a huge commotion.
However, if one had the key, things would be much easier. Lin Jin now had the key to controlling these spirit devourer worms. Following the Museum of Deadly Beasts' refinement method, the moment he touched these spirit devourer worms, he channeled a special type of mana into their bodies. With that, the worms would immediately calm down.
The museum's method proved to be effective. One by one, Lin Jin pulled out all the ghost worms from Huo Yuan's body.
Some of the worms had already grown up to three feet long. Pulling them out of Huo Yuan's body was excruciating. Even with Lin Jin's mental endurance, he felt his hairs stand on end as if there were worms crawling all over his body.
When the last ghost worm was pulled out, Huo Yuan let out an extremely comfortable moan. At that moment, he was like a wild horse that had just escaped its reins, his aura rippling.
His previous weakness and aura of death were gone too.
Indeed, this was definitely a calamity of life and death for Huo Yuan. In fact, Huo Yuan was indeed on the verge of losing his life and falling into immortality just now.
However, if one were to take away something that could save his life, it would be a piece of cake for a true immortal to preserve his life or even heal some of his injuries.
