Ye Zhongming burst through the door like a gust of wind.
He had just checked the earth yellow pill and knew that this fellow needed a good sleep to undergo evolution. The duration of evolution was uncertain; it could take as little as a few hours or as long as a day or two.
But how long had it been now? Not even ten minutes, right? How could there be any movement already?
Ye Zhongming saw the dog lying on the ground trembling all over, yet its eyes remained closed. The fur that had just sprouted from the talent skill used in the recent battle with the spirit woman was now rapidly falling out, returning it to a bald state.
Ye Zhongming also discovered the source of the noise he had heard earlier; it was coming from within the earth yellow pill.
That was the sound of bones creaking.
If this sound had occurred during a battle, Ye Zhongming would have thought it was the sound of bones breaking, but it was clear that this was not the case inside the earth yellow pill.
As Ye Zhongming moved closer, he intended to reach out and touch the earth yellow pill, but after a moment's hesitation, he decided against it; he was afraid even a slight movement would trigger an irreversible reaction.
Others also rushed to the doorway to see what was going on. Although the earth yellow pill was a dog, it was intelligent and had a likable personality. It was responsible for scouting and guarding, and with it around, they didn’t even need to keep watch overnight; its keen ears served as the best alarm.
Furthermore, as a mutated creature, the earth yellow pill was powerful, fighting valiantly and being loyal and reliable, providing significant assistance. At this moment, everyone regarded it as a trustworthy companion.
Seeing Ye Zhongming’s rare panic, everyone felt a sense of unease and paid even more attention to the earth yellow pill’s condition.
Through the gaps in the crowd, Jiamin and Daming were shocked to see a massive mutated yellow dog lying in the room. They were startled but understood after seeing everyone else's expressions that this was probably the battle pet of this group, further increasing their envy.
In the apocalypse, having a battle pet was undoubtedly an excellent way to enhance one's strength. Although Jiamin and Daming had only been living in the apocalypse for about ten days and didn’t know much about pets, the example of Gu Pan, the pig-farmer they had just eliminated, had already informed them of how important battle pets were. Otherwise, the new district base wouldn't have been so cautious of Gu Pan, who had dozens of pets.
“Brother Ye, what happened to Da Huang?”
Liang Chuyin looked anxious. Several women had a very close relationship with the earth yellow pill, even more so than with Ye Zhongming. Seeing the earth yellow pill like this made them all show concern.
“It should be evolving, but this process…” Ye Zhongming was not very sure, “seems to be a bit intense.”
“Boss, look at the earth yellow pill, its fur is growing back.”
Little Tiger whispered from behind, afraid of disturbing the big dog.
Ye Zhongming had been focusing on the earth yellow pill's facial expressions, but after Little Tiger's reminder, he noticed that the fur that had completely fallen out was now growing back rapidly, and the new fur was a golden color!
Although it wasn't the kind of dazzling gold that caught the eye, it was definitely golden yellow.
The growth rate of this fur was incredibly fast, almost covering the body of the earth yellow pill in an instant, especially around its neck where the fur became long and dense, reminiscent of a male lion; while not as exaggerated, the fur in that area was indeed thicker than in other parts of its body.
Ye Zhongming noticed that the neck fur seemed exceptionally hard because it appeared straight and sharp without any curvature. If exposed to sunlight, it could even reflect light.
At this moment, Ye Zhongming felt a bit relieved because all signs indicated that the earth yellow pill was indeed evolving, not encountering any danger; it was just that the energy inside its body was a bit turbulent, causing the evolution process to be somewhat intense.
