Zhang Xintai and the others trembled when they looked at the Needle Birds that once again shriveled up.
They had seen too many unbelievable things today.
First, a four-star evolved had a piece of space equipment with blue equipment. That four-star evolved also showed his smith job that could turn trash into treasure. If they could accept all that, they couldn’t accept how such a person, who would be treated as a treasure no matter where he went, was tossed into the mines.
They thought they were dead, but this person solved it easily. They felt like this young man who was younger than them might not only be a four-star evolved.
What terrified them were these four mutated lifeforms.
They were only level two when they appeared and weren’t much. But after eating some meat, they became level three. Now, they were evolving toward level four!
The three of them had never seen such a thing. Although small, how did they swallow a human in one mouth?
It was just one mouth when a 100-kilogram four-star evolved was swallowed by them, and then, within a few minutes, they entered this evolution state again.
The three of them even felt like they were dreaming. Were they away from the ground for such a long time that they lost track of everything?
Ye Zhongming paid attention to his four Needle Birds because he noticed their evolution was slightly different.They grew bigger. When they knelt on the ground, the queen was the same height as him. Although the three males were slightly shorter, their figures were smoother, and their various parts, such as beaks, wings, claws, etc., were sharper.
New features appeared on their bodies. Where their head and body connected, gills appeared. But Ye Zhongming didn’t think they were for breathing, but to… Store weapons.
The gills were made of 20-centimeter bone spikes.
Was this to protect its neck? Ye Zhongming didn’t think it was so simple, but he had to wait for them to wake up before he could ask them.
Last was the most obvious one. They were covered in greyish-brown fur.
This change confused him, as he didn’t know what the fur was used for. He didn’t even know if these changes were an added function or just natural.
It took longer to go from level three to level four than before. After ten minutes, the four Needle Birds woke up.
The moment they opened their eyes, they showed their fierce nature. They looked ice cold, like they wanted to attack you at the next moment. Ye Zhongming didn’t think much, but Zhang Xintai and the others were terrified. Even if they were at the same evolution level, they felt uncomfortable that such a big beast was staring at them.
Ye Zhongming silently connected mentally with the beast and finally found out what he wanted to know.
The bone gills were really weapons. They could grow and fire bone spikes.
This made up for their lack of ranged abilities.
As for the fur, even if he didn’t ask, he knew what they were used for.
Protection. More accurately, camouflage!
The color of the fur would change along with the environment.
Was it a change brought by the genes of the cow?
It seemed like the case which shocked Ye Zhongming.
He thought about gene corruption that humans talked about in peacetime.
Humans slowly improved in science, and their understanding of their own bodies reached a deep level. To ensure race purity, the governments were working hard to prevent humans from being affected by other genes.
Ordinary people also had this concept, like they didn’t trust gene transfer technologies.
Now, a more serious mutation happened before him. If he had to blame someone, he would blame himself for supporting Liu Zhenghong.
He looked at the Needle Birds, who were flying and asking him if they could eat the other humans. He guessed that if they continued to eat humans, would they turn into something similar to humans?
He breathed out and tried not to think about it. The world was under the terrifying rule of the wheel, and it was too noble to think about this. This problem might be serious, but it would be one for years later.
He told them to enter the hive, which made things more comfortable for Zhang Xintai and the rest. But they were amazed that the four huge flying mutated lifeforms could enter the small piece of equipment.
The four of them entered the cave, and after some walking, they told him that they were before the cave they told him about. He nodded and told them to head out to wait for him. When they left, he equipped his stuff and summoned the two elemental elves. He used the Black Halo shield and then snuck in.
The moment he entered, he picked up a smelly scent. This would only form when mutated lifeforms gathered together. It was a mixture of food, sweat, and poo.
Ye Zhongming didn’t dive in and used the light to observe.
He knew that the lifeforms could camouflage, so he was detailed.
Even he became quiet after looking.
There were many monsters on the walls. They were a perfect match with the surroundings, and if one was careless, they might not be able to notice them.
But these monsters didn’t notice the danger. They weren’t silent. Some would move or change positions.
At the same time, Ye Zhongming saw stone pearls in the cracks. As this was their nest, there were stone pearls everywhere. Just one look and he saw tens of thousands.
Ye Zhongming relaxed. He observed for a while more and confirmed that nothing was stronger than himself before he stepped out.
