ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Ainsley listened to everyone's exchange of information for a while before sharing the information she got after exploring a little bit deeper into the lake.
"I used my ability to spy on my mission target, the man-eating water lily, and although this lily doesn't move around like a Ballerina Plant, it will always 'dance' around the lake..."
Ainsley paused before sighing softly.
"This man-eating water lily has a strange root system and it's buried deep under the water, forming something like a sack in the water and it's considered its stomach."
"There are many beasts, monsters and moveable water plants around the lily, especially the carnivores because they can get some food residue from the water lily."
The man-eating water lily rarely hunted prey from the forest who came to drink water and would often hunt passing monsters and beasts in the lake.
Just like the Acacia Water Plants that were said to be the king of mutant plants in the West Lake, this water lily should be the overlord of all mutant plants in the Central lake.
There were not many plants living at the center of the lake and usually, the plants all had similar forms with the man-eating water lily.
It could be said that most of those plants at the center were carnivores and their leaves were like the water lily's leaves, but they didn't have the same root system as the water lily.
Their way of hunting was more similar to the way the Ballerina Plant hunted, which was to use their leaves to capture monsters and beasts.
First, they would throw the prey into the air using their flexible roots and then they would pounce on the prey with their leaves.
The Ballerina Plant was not a mission target, but this plant was also annoying because it was like the 'patrol guard' of the lake that continued to move from one place to another.
There were many Ballerina plants around, just see whichever water plants with some kind of frills around their leaves and some dancing roots, that must be the Ballerina Plant.
This plant also had a stalk of pink flowers that looked like the head and the upper body of a real ballerina who was lowering their heads to perform some kind of beautiful dance.
This way, the one-eyed water grass that latched itself to the ballerina plant was like its dancing partner.
"We have to be wary of the Ballerina Plant because unlike other plants that can only sense the surroundings through energy flow, living breath, the air flow and other subtle senses..."
"The ballerina plant has a 'vision' thanks to the one-eyed water grass that always lives with the ballerina plant."
The others didn't know about the ballerina plant or the man-eating water lily, much less the one-eyed water grass.
And so, when they heard about the various plants with their strange features, the six contestants had a chill down their spines.
These plants had not even used their special ability and just relied on their physical strength to hunt.
If they really met these plants...maybe they would not know how they were attacked.
Seeing the six contestants becoming even more depressed, Ainsley hurriedly talked about the mystery of the lake water itself to give the last blow before everyone's fighting spirit disappeared with a swoosh.
"That...the lake water also has some kind of neutralizer ability at a certain depth because the water surface is okay, but once I go a little deeper, my abilities can't be used."
Ainsley had only used her charm ability to do the experiment, but she believed that her other abilities would be useless as well.
The six contestants thought that the strange plants were already the biggest threat, but they didn't expect the lake water to be problematic as well!
"Damn it! I knew there's something wrong with this lake's water. As soon as we can't use abilities that are visible to the eyes, I know there is something sketchy."
The cheetah man with a rather explosive temper couldn't help but curse.
Even if he could swim and such and would not be hindered in the water, as a big cat, he was still somewhat resistant to water.
What bad luck to have a mission related to water!
The other contestants also had a headache because some of them had a mission to get the mysterious monster's cub while the others had a mission to get the Acacia's roots.
The roots of an Acacia Plant should be deep under the water and it means, to get the roots, they could not use their abilities.
How could this be? Would they be forced to dive into the lake or something?!
These ability users except those with physical-related abilities were all used to relying on their abilities to fight.
Even if they also learned melee combat and trained their physique to a certain level, when they couldn't use their awakened abilities, it was like being a disabled person with no arm or leg.
This mission was so difficult and the deadline was only six hours...
The judges and anyone who sent these missions to them were all ruthless and unreasonable, right?
Malicious people, ah!
These contestants didn't know that they were assigned these dangerous missions not only because of their nearest position to the lake, but also because of their outstanding performances.
Even if there were one or two people who had just started their first mission here because they were dropped near the lake, these people all had outstanding records outside of the academy.
The seven contestants including Ainsley herself were all well-known ability users who had rows of achievements enough to make many ordinary instructors jealous to death.
