The cold wind howled through the icy peaks as Zhao Tian and Yao Jing trudged forward, their breaths visible in the freezing air.
After grueling weeks of searching the treacherous cold region, they finally stood at the edge of a valley shrouded in mist.
In the center of the valley, there was a single Misty Moon Petal, its translucent silver leaves shimmering like delicate ice.
The plant's petals emitted a faint luminescence that pierced through the surrounding mist.
"There it is," Yao Jing whispered, her green eyes narrowing with a mix of excitement and caution.
"Grrrr!" But their excitement was short-lived as a deep, guttural growl echoed through the valley, reverberating off the ice-covered cliffs.
The ground beneath their feet trembled slightly as an enormous shadow emerged from the mist.
From the dense fog, a beast appeared as It stood on four muscular legs, its body covered in crystalline scales.
