The night was like ink, the bright moon hung high.
The great river surged ceaselessly when suddenly, the water turned a ghastly green. The black fish within swelled in size and voraciously devoured the essence of the sun and moon all around.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, dark figures broke the surface of the water. The fish had transformed into human-like forms, each with a bizarre and ferocious fish head. Their webbed feet slapped the ground, making slapping sounds, and their throats emitted strange, meaningless chuckles.
They possessed no intelligence, only thoughts of slaughter. They gathered together, frenziedly attacking nearby living creatures.
In another place, within a forest, a hundred-year-old scholar tree transformed into an ancient dragon. It was a wooden dragon with brown skin, covered in terrifying burls, creating an utterly ghastly and ominous appearance.
