Gu yin eat one healing pill and seat in mediative state, healing all of her injuries before thinking of a way to acquire the flower tonight.
Cause if she didn't got her hand on the flower tonight, she had to wait another fifteen days for the full moon.
So, she had to get the flower tonight at any cost and couple with the mysterious room, she had to think about it cleverly.
She need a plan where she can take the flower and escape from the serpent alive, but it's not easy to do.
She first use bunch of defence talisman and inscription on her body, she immediately sneak back to the lake.
The moment she arrive at the lake, the serpent deploy an illusion to keep her walking in circles all night.
But considering the fact that she can see through from the illusion, it was like a child hiding behind the pole completely visible, but thinks it's hidden well.
And like pacify a child she pretend to have fallen into the illusion trap, continuously walking around in circles (while inching toward the lake).
She manage to make the serpent lowered it guard, seeing the snake once again close it eyes and start absorbing the moon essence around the flower.
She take an explosion talisman and throw it towards the serpent left side, attracting it attention on other side.
The serpent first check on her, but seeing that she's still walking in circles (she's not). It turn around and cautiously move toward the source of sudden vibration in air.
Since, snake vision isn't very good and they usually see the world in black and white, some even have thermal vision. but they are very acute to movement.
Same goes with the hearing they don't hear like normal human, rather they hear the vibration or frequency produced by any kind of sound.
So, the explosive talisman was perfect to distract the serpent to move it away from the flower, once she succeed in that.
She throw bunch of them in air, letting strong of explosion blow up smoke and create loud sound, even their slit tongue which they use to sense molecules in air is render useless for few seconds.
She use those precious, hard earned time to try to dig up the flower. But alas nothing ever happened according to one plan.
Even though she had used her previous life biology in this world, which is 60-70% accurate.
She didn't consider the fact that this is it territory and the only thing one can want from it territory is the flower.
And the only creature beside it is the human. The serpent arrive way to fast for her to dodge the tail.
Luckily the defense talisman did their work blocking 50-60% attack, they couldn't stop 100% attack since her level isn't that high.
She immediately take out bunch of explosion talisman and throw them at the serpent, they did nothing to it body.
Only buy her sometime to think about her next move, the serpent mouth his mouth and spit out blue liquid.
The liquid land on the ground, not on her. Gu yin watch as the ground literally melt under the liquid, which is actually poison.
She really don't want to experience her body melting from poison, she immediately move away trying to use the teleportation talisman to escape once again.
The serpent seem to have anticipated her next move, it swing the heavy tail toward her which she didn't manage to dodge.
That one hit was enough to broke her ribs, she grit her teeth and swallow healing pill in her mouth.
Before the pill can even take it effect another attack follow suit, in the end she can only desperately dodge the attack.
Even if she want to use the teleportation talisman, the serpent isn't giving her any opportunity to do so.
She take out water talisman throw it at the serpent, the water talisman did nothing but wet it body.
Then she use eight thunder first at the snake, she had master five fist out of eight. Her fist covered in lightening qi made contact with the serpent body.
In normal case her attack could have been not effect the serpent at all, but since it was wet and she use lightening.
The serpent body emit faint smoke which indicates that her attack was effective on the serpent.
But it angered the beast alot, it again start throwing poison at her. Dodging the flying liquid was very hard.
Just one drop that fall on her cloth result into her dress burning. Her fast beating heart in her chest, show her fear.
The serpent swing it tail and spat the poison at her, at the same time. She manage to dodge the poison but the tail was only few inches away from her body.
She watch as the touch silver scaled tail reach her and she once again vanish from her spot.
The serpent annoyed thrash the whole area, trying to find the daring human who had tried to steal it treasure and even hurt it.
Meanwhile, Gu yin who manage to enter the mysterious room once more. This time she knew that she had to hold her breath for few seconds in here.
She was about to start stuffing things in her storage ring, until she found very familiar pair of outer sect uniform.
She stare at it for good full ten seconds, then she leaving the mysterious room, which was her space... Her own space.
She immediately use the two second buffer to tear the teleportation talisman, but this time the beast was too annoyed to leave her.
It immediately follow her and since she was still in it territory, the beast was able to use the territory advantage to beat her up.
The serpent didn't kill her with the poison rather took her back to the lake and slowly start crushing her whole body.
She tried to free herself from it grasp but end up failing, slowly her body was being crushed by the tight hold of the beast.
