A dim light appeared beneath the roulette, looking rather dull in the presence of the dazzling and eye-catching brilliance of the wheel.
Yet this light attracted the attention of all mutated beings because it carried the hope of instant evolution.
After Ye Zhongming shouted "Start," his body was already near the blood of evolution. The tip of his blade quickly lifted the droplet of liquid, and then another person released the light, propelling the blood of evolution forward.
This was a professional skill of a flying knife practitioner who had been closely following Ye Zhongming, all for this moment.
The flying knife carrying the blood of evolution crossed the twenty-meter distance in the blink of an eye and shot into the mutated animal camp.
The Rat King, whose tail had been swaying vigorously, suddenly stopped. Its small eyes widened more than twice, as the red light occupied its entire field of vision.
It didn't want to possess the blood of evolution, but its evolved intelligence allowed it to temporarily control its desires. Thus, the first drop of blood of evolution was given to its subordinates.
Of course, if it consumed it itself, it might also evolve again, but the Evil Dragon wouldn’t approve; that was part of their agreement.
However, now this drop of blood was within arm's reach...
At this moment, the Rat King had to face the most difficult choice after gaining higher intelligence.
Yangos had already floated in mid-air. Upon seeing the droplet of blood, it suddenly turned its head, its eyes filled with a threatening gaze towards the Rat King. It flapped its wings vigorously, and a fierce wind began to sweep across the battlefield. Then, the massive dragon head roared at the mutated beings' camp, shaking the earth and sky, with a warning that even the humans could hear clearly.
This was the second key point of Ye Zhongming’s entire plan after “recharging the battlefield”—throwing the first drop of blood of evolution to the Rat King!
When the major forces were on the move, Ye Zhongming watched from the side. He saw the alliance between the mutated animal camp and the monster camp, which excluded the zombie camp and reached an agreement that allowed the Rat King's subordinates to obtain the first drop of evolution potion.
So, who would get the second drop? It had to be Yangos!
Although these mutated beings were highly intelligent, they still had deeply rooted instincts. They would compromise, but not indefinitely. Yangos was confident in its high evolution level, so it could allow any mutated animal except for the Rat King and a few level 4 beings to consume the first drop of the blood of evolution. This way, it would maintain its advantage in strength, not fearing any tricks from the Rat King, and thereby obtain the second drop of blood of evolution, then the fourth, and so on... Once Yangos evolved to level 6, it would sweep through this place and monopolize all the blood of evolution.
Ye Zhongming understood the Evil Dragon's thoughts, so he knew that the Evil Dragon would never give the second drop of blood of evolution to the mutated beings' camp. Because if that happened, even if the Rat King didn't consume it, another level 4 mutated rat could emerge. Once the mutated beings and the zombie camp united, under the siege of so many level 4 evolved beings, it wouldn't dare to claim a complete retreat.
Thus, upon seeing the blood of evolution thrown into the mutated animal camp, Yangos completely lost its temper. It would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.
After spreading its wings and letting out a deafening roar, it rapidly charged toward the blood of evolution. Those mutated rats that were smart enough let it swallow the droplet. If they were not smart enough, Yangos wouldn’t mind devouring these filthy lowly creatures, just as it had done before with the first three drops of blood of evolution!
The Rat King squeaked at Yangos, its fur standing on end. Humans couldn't understand what it meant, but it likely was a warning to Yangos not to act recklessly and to adhere to their agreement.
