Ji Wen left Ji Yen at the entrance and went towards his hidden place.
After Ji Wen left, Ji Yen looked down at the root. His left foot was holding it.
With a simple thought, the data of the root appeared in front of his eyes.
[DATA.
Item: Profound Form Root.
Grade: Mid Earthly Grade.
Properties:
Main: Can turn a demon beast into a complete human form.
Minor: Increase one minor real or layer.]
After seeing the data, he put on a smile and went back to his hidden cave.
Sitting down, he said to himself in a low voice. "Finally, after more than 2 years, I am going to be a human again."
Taking a one last deep breath, he swallowed the root completely.
Gulp...gulp....
The root went down from his mouth to his throat then to the stomach.
However, even after waiting for a whole 10 minutes nothing happened to him.
Ji Yen did not even feel any actions in his abdomen. And that put out his excitement and put him in desperate situation.
With a dejected and disappointed face, he murmured. "Is it not going to work at all."
On the side of Ji Wen, the situation was the complete opposite.
Argh...groans....
Ji Wen was rolling on the ground inside a cave with painful scream coming out his mouth from time to time.
The screams sounded so painful that even made the surrounding creatures could feel the pain themselves.
And back to Ji Yen's side, he still could not feel anything.
Disappointed, he was about to stood up. Then, suddenly, he felt a slight tingling feeling all over his body.
And without any warning, that tingling feelings suddenly transformed into deep pain.
Caught off guard, Ji Yen fell to the ground with his side.
He also let out a sharp painful scream.
But his sharp scream did not make the surrounding creatures feel his pain. Instead his scream created a violent wind outside the cave and it formed a shield around the cave.
Ji Yen did it unconsciously, because his first thought when he fell to the ground was to protect himself from any potential danger.
And in the process, he instinctively used his storm like abilities. Whatever he want the wind to do, the wind will do it.
It's like he is the eye and the surrounding wind is the storm. Perfect for his race 'Storm Eye Hawk'.
Inside the cave, he kept on rolling on the ground with painful scream from time to time. But he did not make as much scream as Ji Wen made.
2 hours into the procedure, Ji Yen's body started shrinking slowly.
The shrinking stopped when his body was about the right size of a human. But all his feathers and other features of him being a bird was still there.
That did not last long as all his feathers starting disappearing from his body. This time, his feathers did not fall, instead all those feathers disappeared like illusion.
1 hour later, the last and final step of the procedure started.
The talons, wings, neck chest, head eyes and all others parts of him started changing.
The whole procedure took almost 8 hours to complete.
When it was finally done, a brand new human without any clothes was lying on the ground.
His breaking was weak. And all his body was covered in dust.
"Hahahahah....." Ji Yen laughed out loudly inside the cave as he lay there.
Struggling, he sat up and then tried to stand up.
Even though, he was already familiar with standing and walking. It was a little bit difficult for him to do it again easily.
After practicing it for some minutes, Ji Yen could finally walk and stand easily.
Excited, he ran around the cave.
It was a funny scene. A naked man running around the cave, laughing like a madman.
But ultimately, Ji Yen stopped and calmed himself. He also could imagine the awkward scene.
Cough*.....
With a light cough, he called out his data. But he only saw a simple one.
[DATA.
Race: Storm Eye Hawk.
Type: Spiritual Beast.
Name: Ji Yen.
Current Form: Human.
....]
An additional part 'form' appeared on the data.
Ji Yen then looked at his human body and checked.
Seeing all the dust made him dirty, he decided to take a bath.
30 minutes later.
Finally, he cleaned himself with a nice bath. Then he put on the new clothes and stood at the cave entrance, waiting for Ji Wen.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, he saw Ji Wen came running towards him with wobbly.
He was still struggling to balance the human body.
When he arrived in front of Ji Yen, Ji Wen stood before him with his both hands on his need.
He was supporting his body.
Seeing the funny pose, Ji Yen asked him with a light chuckled. "Why are you standing like. Stand up straight."
Ji Yen responded with a complaining and annoyed voice. "It too difficult to balance this human body. I don't know how those stupid humans walk so easily."
When he heard that, Ji Yen laughed out lightly. "If walking is difficult. Then, how come you ran to me just now."
"Well, it was more easier that way. You just need to catch yourself fast enough as you fall forward." Ji Wen said.
Ji Yen nodded at his thinking, with an approval face.
"OK, now let's do the rest of our plan." Ji Yen said after putting all those funny thoughts aside.
Ji Wen also nodded.
------
Five miles away from the city, on a forest road, two men, in simple yet clean clothes, were walking towards city on a normal pace.
Both the men closely resembled eachother, like blood related siblings.
The two men are Ji Yen and Ji Wen.
After coming out of the deep forest, they stumbled upon the forest road that lead to the city.
As they both were walking, they suddenly heard the sound of horses running.
And the sound kept on closing to them.
Both Ji Yen and Ji Wen looked back towards the direction, where the sound was coming.
