The mutated black cat clearly didn't expect the big dog, which it had scratched until it was covered in blood, to attack at this moment. Hearing the sounds from behind, it instinctively began to dodge desperately.
But how many hairs were there on the earth yellow pill? How could it possibly evade so easily?
With a miserable scream, the black cat was pierced all over its rear end by the earth yellow pill’s hairs. Although this skill wasn’t particularly powerful due to the sheer number of hairs, it couldn't be compared to the few strands of hair attacks made by the spirit woman. However, the sheer quantity was overwhelming.
These hairs embedded themselves into the back half of the black cat’s body, causing this agile mutated creature to plummet from the air, crashing to the ground with a yowl. As it fell, even more of the hairs forced into its body. While this wasn’t fatal, the black cat began to lose its sense of direction, struggling on the ground a few times before failing to get back up.
Now transformed into a hairless dog, the earth yellow pill would not let this opportunity to kick a dog while it was down slip away… or rather, kick a cat. Ignoring its numerous wounds, it leapt forward, believing that devouring this mutated black cat would allow it to evolve.
Meanwhile, the spirit woman, knocked down by the streetlamp that had turned into Iron Man, looked utterly miserable. Blood seeped from her eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, and the color of her blood was quite peculiar, a heavenly blue. As it flowed down her pale face, it made her look like a vengeful ghost in the night.
The interruption of her innate ability had severely injured the spirit woman. Already hurt from being struck by a shield, she was now barely holding on. Realizing that the Iron Man attacking her was about to continue, a few strands of hair suddenly shot out from her hair, piercing into the Iron Man’s body.
This Iron Man, summoned based on a streetlamp, was too ordinary, and Ye Zhongming had not invested much mental energy into it. Thus, its durability was only 10. Getting pierced by a few strands of the spirit woman’s hair, it immediately flashed and exploded into metal fragments.
However, this brief delay had given Ye Zhongming a chance to recover his vision. Seeing the spirit woman’s dire state, he stepped forward with his knife, ready to end her life. Ye Zhongming wanted her to know that not everyone could provoke him.
But just then, the bone demon, which had been "dancing" by itself, seemed to lose hope and charged towards Ye Zhongming with a roar.
Ye Zhongming had to turn back, slicing down and directly beheading the bone demon, retrieving the Golden Cloth from its body back into the space crystal.
This delay gave the spirit woman an opening. The mutated zombie realized that it had completely failed today; if it did not escape now, it really wouldn’t be able to.
With a high level of intelligence, the spirit woman quickly ran towards her black cat. A few strands of hair forced the earth yellow pill back, and she scooped up her immobile pet, beginning to flee desperately.
By the time Ye Zhongming noticed, the spirit woman had already run dozens of meters away.
The ambush from this character had enraged Ye Zhongming. Seeing his prey about to escape, how could he let her succeed? He took a deep breath and prepared to chase her down.
But suddenly, voices came from the supermarket behind him. With his keen hearing, Ye Zhongming caught the sound and hesitated slightly. This time, he completely lost track of the spirit woman. This level two mutated zombie quickly escaped, disappearing from Ye Zhongming’s sight.
The noise from the supermarket reminded Ye Zhongming of what he needed to do today. He feared that if he chased after the spirit woman, by the time he returned, the people inside would have already left.
This weighing of options made him miss the chance to eliminate the threat completely.
Regretting the lost opportunity in silence, Ye Zhongming dug out the magic crystal from the bone demon and tossed the corpse aside. He patted the earth yellow pill and whispered a few words. The dog, now limping, ran away.
