While the contestants were discussing in the water, the flying cameras had also entered the lake and with a layer of anti-water barrier, the camera functioned normally, sending the captured scene to the live audience behind the screen.
To be honest, even the Eltonians rarely dived into the lake except for seniors who were about to graduate from college, so everyone was also curious about the underwater view of this lake.
Contrary to their expectation, the lake actually looked eerie and scary down there, as if there were no beautiful scenes and there was only danger.
The audience could help but tremble.
Although most of them had watched many special instructors' assessments from year to year, the topic and the place of the fee assessment would always differ, so it would not be completely the same.
After all, the Four Seasons Island was huge and the current places were still the ones in the same space, not to mention when the space became chaotic, messing up the map, changing the season or even adding new places to the map.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ This is why the academy had to send people once a month to check the whole island, afraid that there would be some strange new places with hidden dangers.
[I never expect the scene under the lake will look like this...the water is muddy, there are many strange mist and fog...]
[Indeed. This is too scary. Let's not talk about some underwater plants and animals...]
[But this group should be fine, right? They are at least considered as mermaids and mermen now, so...maybe they won't be too targeted?]
Indeed. When the group started to swim toward the west where the acacia plants would be, there were many strange monsters and beasts passing by, but none of them attacked the group.
If not for these people knowing that the beasts and monsters here were all fierce, they would have wondered whether they entered a different lake.
The mermaid saw everyone's confused face with her excellent eyesight underwater and immediately enlightened the group with a few words.
"Mermaids and mermen are rarely targeted by this kind of monsters and animals. If we are at the sea, then we might still be targeted, but fishes in lakes, ponds and rivers generally aren't too interested in our race."
After all, different beasts and monsters in different habitats ate different food as well!
And so, most monsters and beasts that would attack the group should only be those who targeted their special energy as nourishment, those who competed for food with the group, or other specific reasons.
Meanwhile, most of the animals and even plants here only attacked others when they hunted to eat.
The others only then realized the reason why the beasts and monsters around didn't bother to attack them and just passed by casually.
At first, the group had thought that they would be besieged by many animals or plants and they would have a hard time, but damn.
The mermaids and the mermen were really strong. They had such a cheat like this, no wonder they were said to be the darling of the sea!
The mermaid was actually already modest when she said the sea monsters and beasts would still attack mermaids and mermen because in reality...
Only 5% of sea monsters and beasts attacked or hunted mermaids and mermen for food.
The rest either loved the mermaids and the mermen or didn't bother with this so-called darling of the sea.
This nickname was not without a reason because compared to other tribes in the Merfolk race, the sea animals and sea beasts were more tolerant of mermaids and mermen.
Beauty privilege? Maybe!
Anyway, most mermaids and mermen had a high status despite not being a part of the royal family and other tribes in the race also especially cherished the mermaids and the mermen.
Even when many tribes often fought with each other to grab territories, the whole race seemed to have a tacit or unspoken agreement to never touch mermaids and mermen.
Unfortunately, back then, humans and other races coveted many mermaids and mermen among so many tribes in the Merfolk race, which was why the number of mermaids and mermen in the race now was at the bottom rank.
This 'endangered species' was well-protected by the Merfolk race, so much so that nowadays, if there were any cases involving mermaids and mermen, the entire Merfolk race all over the 7 seas would unite to wage war against the people on the land.
Now that they got a real mermaid here...the academy was also a bit tense, not knowing why the Merfolk race sent their precious 'baby' to the academy.
Putting aside the confusion about the mermaid's goal to stay in the academy, the group finally enjoyed what it means to be the darling of the sea.
Many small monsters and beasts in the lake would take the initiative to approach the group, sending out a friendly signal and starting to rub the team members, as if acting like a spoiled child.
The bigger fishes just glanced at them with their round and wide eyes, not interested in approaching to make friends, but also weren't interested in attacking.
Because of this, with the group's swimming speed that had been boosted by the fishtail, the group finally saw the vague outline of huge roots underwater in just fifteen minutes.
The group didn't dare to dive too deep into the lake, not interested to know the true depth of this lake.
Everyone just swam in places where sunlight could still touch them, but even so, the muddy water and the strange mist kept their hearts tense.
