The Merfolk were usually half-human and half-aquatic animals or they were fully aquatic animals who had high intelligence just like humans.
Most people would mistake these Merfolks as special beasts and monsters, so nowadays, purely aquatic animal Merfolks were rare and became a protected sub-race.
Most of the Merfolk could not leave water for a long time if they didn't want to die, but this woman was different.
She could live without water for one week straight and the side effect was only dry skin or dull scales.
Still, despite being a Merfolk race who should have been good inside water, the Merfolk who was said to be the race that conquered the sea and all sources of water didn't dare to swim inside the lake.
Just this fact alone already made the other contestants fearful about the seemingly ordinary lake.
If even a Merfolk Race didn't dare to casually swim in this lake, how could they dare to board a boat and do the mission?
Many times, the six contestants wanted to give up on this mission, but they could not bear to let go of the huge score points they were promised.
Even the B+ level mission with the lowest F-grade mission accomplishment gave them as much as 100 score points!
With a passing score of around 300-400 points, accomplishing this mission would have already earned a third of the points needed to pass the first assessment, and it was only the first day!
It was only noon, and the day was still long.
If they could get the points from this mission, they would not have to worry about the minimum passing score and they could focus on earning easy-to-get score points that would be transformed into their academy credits in the future.
Risk and opportunity coexisted, so these six people finally had to wait to meet newcomers to see if anyone could find a way to do this mission.
It was not as if the six people had not tried various ways, but they were just too timid in front of the mysterious lake.
These people had killed many enemies. The blood of monsters and beasts that they killed could even form a swimming pool.
Still, because the Merfolk woman looked a bit fearful of the lake, the other five people also became cowardly.
They were not afraid of death and they were often on the brink of death, but the fear of the unknown was still irresistible.
If Ainsley knew about the Merfolk woman, she might also have the same attitude as the other five contestants.
That was a Merfolk race who conquered the sea!
If even someone like the Merfolk race was fearful of whatever thing resided inside the lake, what about those who could not move flexibly in the water?
Unfortunately, Ainsley didn't know about this and she just infected as many plants as she could, which led to the plants at the edge of the lake not attacking Ainsley for a moment.
Ainsley was kept in the dark and she just manipulated the love virus to infect some nearby small water animals.
At first, the plan worked and it was easy to infect these small beasts and monsters around the Ballerina Plant and the Man-eating water lily.
However, when Ainsley used the small animals' senses to go deep into the lake and try to infect more beasts and monsters....
Out of the blue, the love virus slowly disappeared inside the bodies of these small animals, and soon, Ainsley got feedback that the love virus was gone!
It was gone for real, not even leaving a single trace behind.
Ainsley was stunned silly and didn't believe in evil.
She immediately tried to infect other small animals through the plants that had been infected but after the animals dived deeper into the lake, the love virus slowly disappeared from the bodies of these low-level water beasts and monsters!
Ainsley was truly shocked now and even her mouth could not be closed for a long time.
The baby tried to infect another batch of monsters and beasts but didn't let them swim deeper into the lake.
The beasts and the monsters just swam near the surface of the lake, circling the various water plants which were also floating on the surface of the water.
Only then did the love virus never disappear, just like what happened to the mutant plants.
Ainsley, who discovered this strange phenomenon, wanted to take the water of this lake for research right away.
How could it be possible for her love virus to disappear out of thin air once these infected beasts and monsters went deep into the lake?
The place where the beasts and the monsters dived in was actually not that far away from the water's surface because the sunlight could still reach that depth.
Still, the love virus slowly disappeared the deeper the monsters and the beasts dived in.
Ainsley broke into a cold sweat and had a terrible conjecture.
Could it be....this water had a neutralizer element and the deeper one went into the lake, the bigger the effect?
But then, these monsters and beasts should not be able to use their awakened abilities, yes?
Ainsley infected some wandering small beasts and monsters once more to check her hypothesis but to her surprise, these beasts and monsters could still use their various abilities.
Although their abilities were mainly water-element or physical strength-type abilities, the beasts and the monsters could still use their abilities to catch some prey.
Even the mutant plants would also use their various abilities to find food, such as using their roots, send water bullets, control the water flow, form water whips, nets, and so on!
