The limbs at the front and a bit further back along the middle of its serpent body grew a row of fins from above its hind limbs, extending all the way to the tip of its tail.
This made it look more like a lizard.
Meanwhile, Qing Hong's body had also become stronger, gradually moving away from the shape of a serpent.
The head underwent the most significant changes, with two rows of sharp teeth emerging in its mouth, its originally pointy head widening, bone plates rising on top of its head to form a backward-swept crown fin, and a layer of scale armor around its eyes, with a broad and thick nose tip. These changes made the whole head more complex and three-dimensional.
Qing Hong looked different almost every day.
The scales it shed alone weighed hundreds of kilograms.
Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of gene recombination, which had transformed Qing Hong from a snake into a completely different species.
