Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi really didn't have much confidence in dealing with the Half Moon Lake, where even a golden core stage master might not be able to handle, with this kind of formation. If something happened to Shangguan LAN 'er here, not only would it be hard to explain to Shangguan Tianhua, the pavilion master of the rising Sky Pavilion, even Lin Yi himself would be worried.

Shangguan LAN 'er nodded her head."Not only is it very unlikely, but if we act during the day, there is no possibility of success at all. However, at night, we might have a chance."

"At night? What do you mean?" Lin Yi asked.

"You'll know when it's night time, Little Junior Brother," Shangguan LAN 'er giggled and kept him in suspense.

"It seems that you're well prepared, little Senior Sister." Lin Yi didn't press on and sighed.

Before this, Shangguan LAN 'er had been a pure young lady in his eyes, an innocent and naive third generation cultivator. But now he suddenly found that this young lady was actually quite reliable when she was serious.

"That's a must, otherwise how could I be your little Senior Sister!" Shangguan LAN 'er said proudly.

The two of them took the little panda and immediately began to recuperate on a tree by the side of Half Moon Lake. Because there were no other spirit beasts in the surroundings, Half Moon Lake was a rare secluded place in the periphery of the back mountain.

According to Shangguan LAN 'er, although Banyue Lake was extremely dangerous, it was relatively safe if one did not touch the surface of the lake. In other words, the real danger of Banyue Lake was hidden in the lake.

As they waited, the sky turned dark, and the Half Moon Lake, which didn't look that special in the day, finally revealed its true appearance.

As Shangguan LAN 'er had said, the lake started to glow at night because of the fluorescent creatures.

Hiss! Lin Yi couldn't help but take in a cold breath-the Banyue Lake had turned into a beautiful paradise after the light, but the true face of the beast was revealed to the two of them without reservation.

"No wonder you said that we have to wait until night to find an opportunity. If we act rashly during the day, nothing will be left." Lin Yi said, shocked.

Because of the fluorescent light, at this moment, the two of them were standing on the treetops and could clearly see the scene under the lake. This was a level that could not be penetrated by perception during the day.

In the deep layer of the lake, there was a huge and ferocious black shadow. Its appearance could not be seen clearly, but from the black shadow, it was not only huge, but also full of murderous intent.

Lin Yi felt that this guy's strength was way above the ghost-eyed Golden Eagle 's, and was a powerful beast that could choose a person to eat at any time. If he didn't know anything and just attacked during the day, he would've been dead by now.

But now, because he could clearly see its position, even though it was still very dangerous, there was still a chance to take advantage of it.

"I'm not very good at fighting, so it'll be up to you to cross the lake and reach the giant fir tree in the middle. " Shangguan LAN 'er shrugged her shoulders at Lin Yi.

"Alright," he said. Lin Yi was already prepared for this. Although it was extremely difficult to cross the lake with Shangguan LAN 'er and Quanquan bear with his current strength, in his opinion, it was a good thing that Shangguan LAN' er was able to face reality so calmly. Otherwise, if this miss really wanted to act tough, she would die without even knowing how she died.

The narrowest part of the lake was only about ten meters away from the giant fir tree in the middle. If the target was directly locked on its horizontal branch, the distance would be closer if the target crossed the canopy of the lake.

Lin Yi observed carefully and locked his eyes on a tree not too far away. It wasn't that tall compared to the other trees that were tens of meters tall, and the top of the tree was only about ten meters from the ground. However, this was the tree that was closest to the fir tree in the lake, and the distance between the trunk and the fir tree was only seven or eight meters. For a peak-level early Foundation Stage practitioner like Lin Yi, this was a simple step.

After choosing the location, the next thing to do was to wait patiently for an opportunity. If it was during the day, it would be impossible to see the situation at the bottom of the lake and predict the danger, so there would be no opportunity. But now, at night, he could use the fluorescent light in the lake to lock onto the position.

The bottom of the lake was a terrifying existence that could kill even golden core stage Masters. Lin Yi didn't plan on fighting it at all, because if he did, the result would be already decided. He had to get as far away from it as possible. It was only when it swam to the furthest end of the lake that it would be the time to act.

"Then you and the bear will stay here. From the situation during the day, as long as you don't do anything unnecessary, this place should be safe. Just wait here for me to come back. Remember to hide well, there might be some noise later." Lin Yi said as he stood up.

"Don't worry, don't worry. With little white protecting me, I won't be in danger. Little Junior Brother, you can go on your way without worry!" Shangguan LAN 'er laughed and waved her hand.

Go on his way without worry? Lin Yi didn't know what to say. He looked at the cute little Bear. This guy could protect you? you'd be dead if you believed in something like that.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at the bear's muscle-flamboyant actions and went up the tree.

He held his breath and carefully observed the movements of the black shadow at the bottom of the lake. Not only did he have to make sure that it swam to the furthest end, but he also had to figure out its movement patterns. This was the most basic preparation work before taking action. If he was careless, the end result might be a tragic death.

This process lasted for a whole two hours, and only when Shangguan LAN 'er was yawning did Lin Yi finally start.

It was now! Lin Yi's eyes went wide as he activated his butterfly microsteps, gliding across the lake like a ghost.

Eight meters, in Lin Yi's eyes, was a distance that he could cross in a flash without the help of any external objects, but now he had to put in so much effort. Even so, he didn't even know if he could succeed.

It's close! The fir tree was just a few feet away, and just when Lin Yi thought that he'd succeed, the calm Half Moon Lake suddenly started shaking!

Then, a Red Tentacle as thick as a basin shot up from the bottom of the lake at a speed so fast that it was hard to see with the naked eye, aiming at Lin Yi.

Crossing eight meters was a short distance, and Lin Yi had already figured out the beast's movement pattern, choosing to do so when it was at its furthest point-they were at least a thousand meters apart.
