[Am I the only one who is looking at Ainsley's cat backpack? Although I don't see Ainsley using any of her hidden modified items, I bet the backpack is a spatial storage bag or something.]
[Dang, since when Ainsley used a whip as her weapon? I saw her taking out one of her ordinary-looking items and that thing became a whip!]
Ainsley did pull out a whip from one of her modified items because she had to lure the targeted beasts and monsters to swim closer to the water surface.
Only then her charm ability would work.
Ainsley swung her whip and hit the surface of the water, instantly attracting the attention of many monsters and beasts who were sensitive to sound, water flow and any small movements.
The high-level monsters and beasts were also triggered by this act of hitting the surface of the water because, for them, it was like a provocation!
How could these humans be so daring to provoke them like this? Do these humans think that they can't do anything because there is a barrier protecting the boat?
The already irritable monsters and beasts who could not take down even a single human on the boat because of the barrier became angry.
The monthly feast usually would give them a chance to hunt many high-quality prey, but lately, in the past few hundred years, the prey who came here were all protected by this strange barrier one after another.
As long as the prey were on the boat, unless they destroyed the boat and made these humans drown, the monsters and the beasts knew that it was difficult to target any of the human beings on the boat.
There were indeed one or two non-human beings, but for the monsters and the beasts, it was all the same.
The monsters and the beasts usually could only eat some meat of the foreigners who came to this lake when the foreigners dived into the water.
Even if these people also had barriers when they dived into the water, the chance to have accidents was higher than when these prey stayed in the boat.
Thinking that many of their ancestors said that because of the rapid development related to barrier technology, even people with no barrier ability could at least have one or two layers of barrier that could resist the attack of a high-level beast and monster.
Of course, such technology was extremely expensive and the one that was commonly used by many ability users was barrier technology that could be used to fend off one fatal attack from a low-level monster or beast.
In the end, a barrier ability user was still more useful than a technology because as the ability user became stronger, their barrier also became stronger, lasted longer and could expand wider.
Many mercenaries who didn't die after visiting this lake all at least have one barrier ability user who could withstand a few fatal attacks from high-level monsters and beasts.
Those who didn't have such a teammate were the ones who often died in this lake, but who told the mercenaries to be greedy for the monthly mission when they knew that they were not so capable?
The academy did filter the mercenaries that were allowed to enter the island to do missions, but there would always be one or two groups with a slightly lower quality that somehow passed the filtering because of internal connections with someone from the academy, and so on.
Anyway, these beasts and monsters were already annoyed that they had been attacking the group of prey for so long yet they could not even drink a drop of blood.
Now, someone, who looked like a human cub, which was 'weak' in the eyes of these monsters and beasts, actually used a whip to hit the surface of the water many times, as if hitting them playfully.
The monsters were usually more reckless and they hated provocation the most. Maybe in their genes, it was already engraved deeply that whoever provoked them had to be killed.
A few mid-level monsters and one high-level monster immediately rushed to Ainsley's place and one by one, they leapt into the air with their bloody mouths opened wide.
"ROAAAAR!"
The few monsters used their physical body and their various awakened abilities to attack just one point of the barrier, which was precisely the place nearest to Ainsley.
That part of the barrier had to withstand the sudden attack of many ferocious monsters.
How pitiful!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The whole barrier trembled for a moment and that part right in front of Ainsley even had visible cracks!
The monsters didn't know how to plan strategies and such, but the beasts, who saw this scene deep inside the lake, all had various tactics in their mind.
It seemed that they should just focus on attacking one point in the barrier rather than spreading the damage?
If they could blast the weak point of the barrier in one go, the barrier would have a hole, and they could definitely sneak some attacks or drag the humans to the water!
As long as these humans fell into the water, wouldn't they immediately be powerless?
The beasts immediately communicated with each other, holding back their usual frictions for the sake of one big goal.
Anyway, when the feast was ready, only then they would fight among themselves again to get more food, especially when the food was of a high quality that only came once every few months or even years.
There were indeed many casualties in this lake, but after the technology developed rapidly, the number of casualties was also suppressed to the lowest number possible!
