Museum of Deadly Beasts

It was the severance of their blood contract.

However, it wasn’t performed by him but by the hybrid beast. In other words, the hybrid beast had abandoned Wei Zhuang.

No one expected this, not even Lin Jin. But Lin Jin wouldn’t interfere in this. He merely stood by and watched to see what the other would do.

If he had to give a comment, Lin Jin thought this was a good thing for the guy who was throwing up blood. He could already tell that the man was being controlled by this beast rather than the other way around. The man must have been suffering all this time. Perhaps he was even forced into the bond.

Now that the beast had set him free, this had to be a good thing.

It was like a prisoner being released from his sentence and regained freedom.

How wonderful was that?

Lin Jin looked happy for Wei Zhuang, but the prince and his group didn’t seem to agree. Their jaws hung as they watched in fear.

Then, someone went over to help Wei Zhuang up.

Yet, Wei Zhuang pushed the man away and turned to the hybrid beast with panic and fear in this expression. “Master, why did you sever the pact? Have I done something to displease you?”

The hybrid beast ignored him.

Still, Wei Zhuang was relentless, behaving much like a romantic safety net being thrown away by his love, begging and pleading.

This changed everyone’s impression of him, but Wei Zhuang couldn’t care about that now. He knew fully well that what he possessed today was given to him by the hybrid beast.

Without this creature, he was nothing.

And so he knelt on the ground, begging the hybrid beast to take control of him once more. That way, he could regain what he had lost. Otherwise, he would later die a horrible death with no dignity to speak of.

He had made too many enemies before.

With Wei Zhuang acting this way, his younger brother was frightened beyond words, his legs trembling.

When did his brother become this way?

Why on earth was his brother kneeling and begging his pet beast? He couldn’t figure it out.

The hybrid beast continued to ignore Wei Zhuang but leaped over to Lin Jin instead.

“Appraiser Lin, be careful,” He Qian and the others shouted from behind. Lin Jin was too precious to them so they refused to see any mishaps.

If anything happened to Lin Jin, Jade Dragon Kingdom would lose all hopes of advancing to premium rank.

He Qian knew that very well.

But he had been worried for nothing. Lin Jin could hold his own against this hybrid beast who was only at half immortal standard at best. He didn’t even need to use his pet beasts. With just the Clear Wind Sword, he could slay this creature.

Not to boast but he really was that capable.

So even if the hybrid beast was only five inches from him, Lin Jin wasn’t fazed. What surprised him was that Clear Wind merely hummed in warning without flying out of his sheathe.

What did that mean?

It meant that the hybrid beast bore no hostility.

Instead, it even had good intentions.

Others may not sense it but Clear Wind could.

Lin Jin stared at the hybrid beast, and it stared back. Admittedly, Lin Jin was very interested in this creature as he had never seen anything like it before. What was it and how did it gain get such a freakish appearance?

If he could appraise and research it, he might just discover a new species.

Lin Jin scanned it top to toe as if he was studying a precious treasure. His gaze even made the hybrid beast feel goosebumps.

The next instant, it actually knelt down.

Lin Jin thought nothing of it. The creature was inferior to him, so kneeling down was normal. However, everyone else thought it was incredulous. Wei Zhuang was disheartened enough. When he saw this scene unfold, it was as if a knife had stabbed him in the heart, and he became dumbstruck.

“What is going on?”

Wei Zhuang thought he was going through a nightmare. He knew better than anyone just how terrifying the hybrid beast was. It wasn’t a Rank 5 for nothing. He even had a hunch that the creature most probably reached Rank 6 standard by now.

In Wei Zhuang’s opinion, no being was stronger than the hybrid beast. That was why Wei Zhuang practically worshiped it.

Like it was a deity.

But now, this strongest deity was kneeling before a mortal.

Wei Zhuang’s faith crumbled and he seemed to have lost his mind. Perhaps the blow was too huge to take, factoring in his earlier injuries, his eyes just rolled back and he fell to the ground.

He died!

Heart attack was one of the reasons, and then there was also the intense mental blow and fear. Anyhow, Wei Zhuang died just like that. But this was considered a good thing for him.

If he didn’t die now, he would have died a more tragic death when he went back.

“Brother!” Wei Zhuang’s brother was appalled at what just happened. He may be arrogant but he was no fool. He still knew how the world worked.

He could only afford his arrogance thus far because of this brother and the prince’s protection.

The key person here was still Wei Zhuang. Because without Wei Zhuang, the prince wouldn’t even bat an eyelid at him.

His brother was his sky. Now that the sky had fallen, he knew what was to come. Without having to wait until they returned home, the prince would abandon him right now.

Judging by Jade Dragon’s stance, they seemed to be firm on apprehending him. And once caught, it didn’t take much to imagine what would happen.

Leaving him aside as he wailed for a dead man, Lin Jin was now staring curiously at the kneeling creature. He stepped forward and placed a hand on the hybrid beast’s head.

While other people assumed that Lin Jin was accepting this hybrid beast’s ‘surrender’, he was actually trying to appraise it.

In an instant, a huge transformation happened inside the Museum of Deadly Beasts.

Lin Jin’s pupils dilated and he looked startled.

He knew the hybrid beast was unusual but didn’t expect it to be so unique. This creature wasn’t actually a beast, but a creature accumulated by a force.

Inside the hybrid beast’s body was a tiny fragment.

It was only the size of a nail at best, but it was no ordinary fragment.

“A fragment of the Heaven’s Foundation Stone!” Lin Jin whispered in a volume only he could hear. He now understood why the hybrid beast surrendered to him at sight. Prior to this, through various sources and clues, he had learned that his greatest ace, the Museum of Deadly Beasts, had a fragment of the Heaven’s Foundation Stone inside it.

Its size was surely bigger than the hybrid beast’s.

As they stemmed from the same source, the hybrid beast immediately sensed the same energy from Lin Jin, thus it surrendered.

It was no wonder Lin Jin also felt a sense of familiarity with this hybrid beast. So it was for the same reason.

With his hand on the hybrid beast’s head, he got the feeling that he could just dig his hand inside the creature’s brain right now to pull out that Heaven’s Foundation Stone fragment.

But if he did that, this hybrid beast would cease to exist.
