With the dissipating demon cloud, the sky gradually regains clarity. Brash eagles encircle in the sky above the mudflat, irresistibly attracted to the tantalising raw meat and blood of the beast.
The eagles didn't hover long. Like arrows, they shot from the sky landing on the mudflat. There was no characteristic caution of their daily predations; they devoured the meat with madness.
Merely from the first bite, the eagle experienced a severe transformation. Its otherwise small body started to swell, the normally neat feathers parted, revealing soft skin beneath.
Fine scales sprouted among its feathers, and its sharp eyes retracted with the rapid transformation of its body. Unbelievably, they started morphing towards the slitted eyes of a snake, and its neck lengthened, changing from an eagle to that of a snake.
Faint demon Qi lingered on the creature, which was now hard to classify. It had metamorphosed from a normal bird of prey into a beast.
