Gu yin stayed there for three days waiting for the full moon, on the night of the full moon as the moonlight fall on the lake.
A ripple appeared in the middle of the lake and a plant with small bud break out of the water surface.
The bud after absorbing the moonlight slowly start opening by one petal at time. Soon the beautiful flower reveal itself.
The plant is silver in colour glowing softly under the moonlight, petal are pale silver-blue soft like moonlight on water, edges shimmer with faint, mist-like glow.
The centre resembles a mini cresent moon roating slowly, the flower emit a cool, calming radiance from it core.
Surrounded by a faint veil of drifting lunar mist, which gently surrounded the flower making it look more breathtaking.
Gu yin had seen this flower every night but she specially waited for the full moon to take it with her.
She slowly approach the flower, using the cloud step she run very fast on the water surface without even causing ripple on the water surface.
Soon she reach the flower and was about to about to take the whole plant with her along with the flower.
Suddenly a killing intend was directed at her, which made her move away from the flower immediately to protect herself.
When she raise her head her breath hiss, when they meet pair of silver slits and body made of pure muscle.
Silver Mist Serpent...
A mutant variant of the serpent species that had evolve after absorbing the moon essence for very long time.
Gu yin heart skip a beat cause the creature infront of her is 10ft long and is as thick as tree trunk covered in silver scales.
The serpent is staring at her with angry gaze, for daring to touch it treasure, which made her throat dry and palm sweaty in fear.
The beast infront of her is low-level 6th grade beast, a level even person in late-stage foundation establishment will dare not to fight alone.
As for her who's in 9th stage of qi condensation, she can be consider lucky if she manage to escape from here alive.
With that thought she turn using with cloud and shadow step she tried to run away from the place.
But unfortunately she had already angered the beast for trying to steal it treasure from it own territory.
She was moving fast no doubt but the serpent was even faster and agile then her, easily catching up to her.
The serpent flick it tail toward her body, luckily Gu yin had quite good fighting experience in past few years.
She manage to dodge the fail and even counterattack by using ice spear launching them at the serpent.
But it didn't dodge or move, the serpent stayed there letting those ice spear hit it body, but as soon as the spear touch it body it was like they crash with stone, shattering into tiny pieces without any harm.
This made her realise that just how think and strong those scale are on the serpent body, she narrowed her eyes and take out the teleportation talisman to escape.
But suddenly a heavyweight was pressed against her body, causing her to slam down on the land on her face.
The serpent hadn't moved even an inch just by the pressure exerted by it body, it render her immobile unable to move at all.
Alarm bell ring inside her brain of the danger, but she helpless against it as she had no control over her body anymore.
She lay there trying to think about a way to escape this situation, but nothing came in her mind at this point she just wish to vanish from the spot.
It's unknown if the god heard her prayer or some demon decide to interfere. But the next thing she know.
She was in enclosed, dimly lit room with no window and door, also no oxygen. The lack of oxygen made her panick, in just mere sec her face turn purple with lack of air.
When she thought that she's going to die from the suffocation. Suddenly she was out of the cave like room, infront of the bewilderm serpent.
Both human and beast state at each other with absolutely no idea about what just happened here.
The beast who just saw the weak human infront of it just vanish into thin air, then suddenly appeared once again leaving it in shock and confusion.
As the human in question who also have no idea, one second she was this close to be crashed under pressure, the other she was in dimly lit room suffocating with no air.
In both case she had seen death just infront of her face, the human and beast once again move at the same time.
The serpent throw it whole body toward her and Gu yin lightly tap the water underneath her feet, soon the lake was freezing.
This make the serpent change it direction towards the moon essence flower to protect it and Gu yin tear the teleportation talisman.
Bright light covered her whole body and she vanish once again from there, but the serpent had no time pay any attention to her.
It reach the flower and protectively curl it body around the plant and use it own qi to unfreeze the lake.
The serpent could sense the daring human presence few meters away from here, but it didn't move knowing more stronger human will be coming anytime soon to compete with it for the treasure.
Gu yin who landed ten meter away from the lake. but still in the area of the lake, which prevent her from randomly teleporting into dangerous beast territory.
She lean against the tree to catch her breath. after the seen of almost dying from the lack of the air, she had great appreciation for the tree's.
Once, she was sure that no beast or human is around, did she let her thought wonder toward the weird place she had suddenly teleport too previously.
But she no idea what kind of place that was, she never had been there at all or its some kind of hidden place with treasure around the lake, which even beast is not aware of.
