Chapter 1979 Unexpected Transformation Of The Bloodline
With the Saintess and the beasts gone, Lin Mu decided to take a look at the tiny bird.
The Snow Stream Sparrow had been sleeping ever since Lin Mu gave it the Beast Qi, and as such, he could only observe what was happening in its body.
On the surface, there didn't seem to be much of a change, but on the inside, Lin Mu felt that its blood was flowing rapidly. Not just that, but each and every cell of the Snow Stream Sparrow was bursting with vitality.
The traces of the Beast Qi were almost gone, having been absorbed almost entirely by the bird.
It had been several hours since Lin Mu had given the bird Beast Qi, as such, it was a bit surprising.
'Even Little Shrubby took longer to absorb it back then.' Lin Mu recalled.
For a small bird beast like the Snow Stream Sparrow to absorb all of it like that in less than a day was quite astounding. It once again reinforced for Lin Mu that the beast was indeed a bit special. Though he had no idea, that the kind of 'special' he was thinking about was not right.
The Tiny bird's internals first became stronger, while the exterior stayed the same. And when it felt the internal changes had stabilized, the external changes finally happened.
"Huh? It's shedding its feathers?" Lin Mu saw the feathers of the bird start to fall.
Only a couple of its feathers fell at the start, but as minutes went by, the rate of the feathers falling also increased.
In just an hour, the entire bird had become bald naked!
"What the... will it be fine?" Lin Mu was surprised by this change.
After all, the Snow Stream Sparrow losing its feathers did not seem like a good thing.
Unfortunately this was just the start of the changes. Soon, the beak of the bird also turned dull. From its scarlet red color, it became a dull brown and continued to change until finally it had become a crude dark brown color.
~crack~crack~crack~
Cracks also spread on the beak, turning it rather fragile looking.
"That does not seem good..." Lin Mu furrowed his brows.
He wondered if he needed to interfere here but hesitated. He checked the internal condition of the bird again, and discovered that it seemed to have full of vitality even now.
The outside and inside conditions contrasted greatly.
From the outside the Snow Stream Sparrow looked like a sick beast afflicted with cancer. But on the inside, the beast was full of vitality as if it were in the peak of its health.
'I need to observe it more.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
He let his Immortal sense split up further into smaller tendrils and tried to look for the bloodline of the tiny Snow Stream Sparrow directly.
~HUM~
There were no new feathers growing at this point either, and the flesh was left bare.
More time passed, and Lin Mu saw that the skin of the bird had become wrinkly and dry too. Eventually it too became cracked, as if a lot of moisture from it had been sucked out.
The cracks spread from the base of the tiny bird's beak and covered its head before finally spreading all over its body.
If it were not for the vitality within the tiny bird's body, Lin Mu would have been sure it was at the death's door.
The level of impurities in its bloodline had also increased and reached the 48% mark.
And it didn't stop there either, it continued to increase until it was 50% of the beast's bloodline!
"It actually reached this point..." Lin Mu was at a loss for words.
~crack~crack~crack
But it was now that the beak of the bird started to tremble.
~CHIRP~
It let out a cry as its beak opened.
~CRUMBLE~
Lin Mu then watched as the fragments from the bird's beak fell. It had been cracked for a while now, and now the cracked portions were falling off.
"This..." And once all the fragments from its surface fell of, Lin Mu could see a dark Grey beak underneath it.
It was smooth and sleek, but its color was completely unlike its original.
'It was already different from a normal Snow Stream Sparrow with its red beak, and now it has changed even more.' Lin Mu raised his brows in surprise.
He wondered what more changes would happen and didn't have to wait long. Soon after, the skin of the tiny Snow Stream Sparrow also trembled, as the cracked portions started to fall off. The pale skin was replaced with an ashy black skin now. It did not look like the normal flesh, but it was at least healthy from what Lin Mu could tell due to the presence of blood vessels underneath it.
The blood was flowing perfectly and the skin was also soft, with a slight sheen to it. It was clear that new skin had grown to replace the old one.
A similar thing happened to the bird's legs too, as they became ash Grey just like the skin of the bird with a layer of skin sloughing off.
And when this was completed, Lin Mu could tell that the claws of the bird had also become sharper. The size of the bird hadn't changed though, staying the same. It was only the appearance and aura that had been transformed.
"There's no way to even tell it is a Snow Stream Sparrow now." Lin Mu muttered.
Lin Mu checked the bloodline of the bird again and saw that it had progressed beyond 50% hitting the 51% mark and gaining majority in the bloodline.
"It's not even correct to call it a Snow Stream Sparrow now... that bloodline is no longer the dominant one." Lin Mu understood.
Having watched the changes from start to the end, he quickly came to the conclusion that the impurities in its bloodline were behind the change.
