Under the pale moonlight, the Cloud Wood Mountains stretched endlessly, casting dark, undulating shadows.
A mantis with a back covered in silver scales leaped swiftly through the forest, its speed incredibly fast.
The mantis's silver scales changed with the environment, constantly altering the light. In the complex mountain forest, the mantis could disappear without a trace in a single leap.
Gao Xuan flew through the sky on the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword, using his Spiritual Power to lock onto the mantis from afar. No matter how the insect leapt and hid, it could not escape.
This insect had high intelligence, seemingly comparable to a human.
Thus, the insect sensed that Yun Qingshang was too powerful to defeat and immediately abandoned its kin, turning to flee.
This kind of insect, which had evolved silver scales, was a result of genetic mutation changing its constitution. It had nothing to do with Silver Level abilities.
