Throwing down the corpse in his hand, he smashed a claw towards the man, swift and fierce, his movements even more advanced than when he had clashed with Jiang Feng last night.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the formerly sparse arms were now covered with feathers, even the limbs had completely transformed into the shape of a beast's, growing in an inverse-jointed manner, and the wings on the back began to gradually thicken.
He barely managed to defend with his longsword, but was still flung away a dozen meters, the sharp bird claws leaving two wounds on his chest, rolling on the ground seven or eight times before finally stabilizing his center of gravity.
In just one night, the growth of this Gu creature was terrifying. Last night, it was merely Jiang Feng's luck that saved him. Had he been any later, when the monster had digested its consumed food, someone might have inadvertently fallen prey to it.
