The three-headed abyssal hound had a very long lifespan.
Under normal circumstances, they could live for a thousand to twelve hundred years, and some could even live up to fifteen hundred years.
Correspondingly, the three-headed abyssal hound's growth period was also very long. It would take a few hundred years for it to become a powerful magical beast at the peak of the legendary realm.
It had been half a year since Zuo Yi had given Teck to the Bao 'er. If it had been an ordinary puppy, half a year would have been enough for it to grow into a big dog. However, Teck would need at least ten years to grow up.
The bigger its body, the stronger it would be. When it grew to a certain size, it would grow a second and third head.
And its growth process could be accelerated.
The simplest way was to use high-grade magic crystals to speed up its growth. Zuo Yi had fed Teck five or six high-grade magic crystals.
Among the wealth that Zuo Yi had brought back from the world of Sadeya, the magic crystals were the most. However, he had used most of them to exchange with the World Tree for the treasured tree, and then fed some to the treasured tree. Now, there were only a few left in the space ring.
In addition, the flesh and blood essence of high-grade magical beasts could also serve as a substitute for magic crystals. This was especially true for carnivorous magical beasts, as it was an essential source of nutrition for their growth.
When Zuo Yi had killed the Minotaur Troll that had been summoned to the Bluestar, he had harvested more than a hundred thousand kilograms of Minotaur Troll meat. Most of it had been made into jerky for Teck's dog food.
In the past, the glutton Tai had eaten dozens of kilograms of beef jerky every day. In addition, the Bao 'er had spoiled him and fed him more from time to time. All of this added up to a considerable amount of jerky.
Therefore, it was completely normal for Teck to break through in such a short time!
"Dad …"
After hearing Zuo Yi's explanation, the Bao 'er asked pitifully, "When will Atay come out?"
She was afraid that Teck would continue sleeping in the eggshell and would not be able to accompany her anymore.
Atay was her best friend!
"It should be soon."
Zuo Yi couldn't be sure because he didn't know much about the growth characteristics of the Three-Headed Abyss Hound. He could only make inferences based on the knowledge he had of magical beasts. "Don't worry, it will be fine."
"Yes."
Bao'er nodded.
She looked at Gou Dan on the bed, and there was still a trace of worry in her eyes.
"It's late."
Zuo Yi rubbed her head and said, "Baby, go to sleep."
With that, Zuo Yi prepared to move the giant egg away.
"Dad."
Bao'er pleaded, "I want to accompany Atay."
"Uh …"
Zuo Yi hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he was no match for the little girl's pitiful eyes. "Alright then."
The Bao'er immediately climbed back onto the bed and lay down beside the egg.
She turned to look at Goudan and carefully reached out to touch the eggshell.
It was warm, and she could feel the beating of the eggshell, echoing her heartbeat.
Bao'er revealed a joyful smile and closed her eyes in relief.
Then she fell into a deep sleep.
Zuo Yi let out a long breath and sat down on the edge of the bed. He reached out to lower the brightness of the table lamp.
He quietly looked at the sleeping little girl and sat for a long time before quietly getting up and leaving.
The moment the door was pulled shut, the giant egg suddenly emitted a bright light and then returned to normal.
Bao'er pursed her lips in her sleep and murmured, "Atay."
Her dreams were filled with scenes of running and playing with Teck.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
"Dad."
Bao'er pouted and said, "Atay hasn't woken up yet."
In the past three days, the giant egg hadn't moved at all except for the rhythmic alternating between light and dark.
Other than going to school at the Heavenly Revelations Academy, Bao'er was always by Goudan's side and whispering to him.
This was because she had seen on TV that those vegetative people lying on the hospital beds had relatives and friends talking to them before they woke up.
Zuo Yi and Fang Yonghe exchanged helpless glances.
In the past few days, the little girl had been thinking about Teck so much that she was a bit obsessed. She had already said the same thing more than ten times.
Zuo Yi didn't know how to answer. He couldn't lie!
"Atay is fine."
Feeling very tired, the nanny dad could only say, "Don't worry. You can go to Baoshu and find Pipi to play with."
Actually, there was still Mephistopheles at home, but this black cat was too cold. Although it listened to the little girl, it wasn't very close and couldn't compare to Teck.
"Oh."
Bao'er replied, feeling wronged.
"Hurry and eat."
Fang Yonghe put a poached egg in her bowl and said, "Maybe after you finish eating, Atay will wake up."
"Okay!"
This time, the little girl agreed much more straightforwardly. She picked up her chopsticks and stuffed rice into her mouth.
The sooner she finished eating, the sooner Teck would be able to come back!
"Be careful not to choke."
Fang Yonghe felt sorry for her and hurriedly scooped half a bowl of soup for her. "Drink some tofu soup."
"Okay."
Bao'er nodded obediently and picked up the spoon to scoop up the soup.
However, before the soup reached her mouth, she suddenly felt something and her eyes lit up. "Atay!"
Zuo Yi and Fang Yonghe were startled.
"Dad, Great-aunt, Atay is awake!"
The little girl excitedly jumped up and ran upstairs. "I'll go see him!"
"Ah."
Zuo Yi hurriedly followed.
He followed the Bao'er to her bedroom. As soon as he entered, he heard a crisp cracking sound.
At this moment, several conspicuous cracks appeared on the surface of the giant egg on the bed. Crimson light shone through the cracks, and the egg was trembling non-stop. Clearly, it was undergoing a violent transformation.
"Atay!"
Bao'er happily ran over.
Kacha!
As if responding to her call, a large piece of eggshell fell off from the egg, and a furry dog head poked out from inside. It opened its obsidian-like black eyes and looked at the little girl.
Compared to before it turned into an egg, it had grown quite a bit. It was no longer a little puppy and had reached …
The level of a puppy.
Woof!
The newborn Teck barked and suddenly broke free from the eggshell. It instantly jumped into the air and pounced at the little girl.
It just happened to fall into Bao'er's arms.
The little girl was almost knocked to the ground by this fellow. Fortunately, Zuo Yi reacted quickly and caught her in time.
But Bao'er didn't care. She tightly hugged Teck in her arms and laughed. "Atay, Atay, Atay!"
One day apart felt like three years, three days apart felt like a lifetime!
The bond between the two little fellows had never been as strong as it was now.
Teck desperately shook its long tail and stuck out its tongue to lick Bao'er's face. It also made a "wuwuwu" sound from its throat, as if it had really been a long time since they last met.
Bao'er, Bao'er, Woof missed you so much!
"I missed you too."
Bao'er pressed her face against the dog's head. Her eyes were curved and her dimples were shallow.
