God knows where the mermaid got this steel algae, but it should be when they were on the way to this place because this lake did have many floating algae.
It was just that, the group didn't dare to touch anything, afraid that they would court death instead.
The mermaid was not a native of this lake, but she was indeed more knowledgeable about water creatures, so the woman immediately used the algae to tie everyone's wrist together.
Of course, to give some personal space to each person, the algae could be stretched to several meters but after that, they could not go too far.
It was not that the mermaid was paranoid or overreacting, but it was never a good choice to separate the group when they went to the dangerous area, especially when they were all underwater.
The contestants were all protected by the gentle glasses man's barrier-like body armor, but it didn't mean the group could separate, even if they went with another person.
After the preparation was done, the mermaid asked the teammates to eat antidote that they brought on their own.
"If anyone doesn't bring an antidote, please tell me. I have some with me."
How could these experts not bring their own antidote?
Even if they didn't have the thousand-poison antidote, they would at least have the hundred-poison antidote
And so, everyone ate their antidote without worrying that the lake water would enter their throat or anything, making them choke to death.
Anyway, ever since these people became mermaids and mermen, it was as if their other body organs also resembled real mermaids and mermen.
After everyone took their antidote, the mermaid took the lead to swim into the mist wall, with Ainsley and the plant-tamer girl in the middle, ending with the men at the rear.
Anyway, the middle position should be the safest, so the men were all at the rear, protecting the important team members in the middle.
The mermaid became the temporary leader of this team, so the mermaid led at the forefront.
The group didn't swim too fast and slowly entered the mist wall that slightly hid the complicated roots area of the Acacia plants.
Even from afar, the Acacia's roots already looked as if it had its own kingdom, so everyone had a certain expectation about what they would see when they truly entered that territory.
When the mist passed by the body, Ainsley felt as if passing through cotton candy, but the special feeling only lasted for a few seconds before the all-white vision suddenly changed.
In front of Ainsley and the others was something that everyone didn't dare to imagine or could never imagine.
It was true that the acacia plants had a root system that was so complicated and strange, even forming something like an ecology, but this scene in front of everyone's eyes severely challenged their imagination.
Not to mention the contestants, even the audiences also held their breath and looked at this scene with wide eyes.
Only a few Eltonians and special instructors had personally come to this Acacia roots zone, and others had only seen a vague look of this area through videos and such.
Anyway, it was definitely rare even for contestants to swim deep into the acacia plant's zone.
And so, when everyone saw the huge and complicated roots scattered everywhere in front of them...
They were all stunned.
Why? Because this place was not a small ecology or something.
This place...could be called a small town.
It was indeed a small town!
The roots were so long and huge in diameter, making it looked like wooden buildings deep underwater.
There were also many strange plants that became 'buildings' or roads, and there would be many animals inside those 'buildings'.
The dull-colored plants were like the buildings of this small underwater town, while the pretty-colored ones became the 'garden'.
This underwater garden was full of vibrant water flowers, so beautiful that the muddy water and the lingering mist only added more charm to the colorful flowers that could bloom in such an environment.
Ainsley had never seen such a scene before, not even when she went to travel to many non-human continents.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ One could imagine if the underwater life of such a 'small lake' alone was already like this, what about the underwater life in the vast sea?
Everyone looked at this small yet busy town with eyes full of wonder.
There were no humanoid-shaped animals, and most of the animals here, whether it was a beast or a monster, all had the shape of fish, and there were also only mutant plants.
But even so, this 'town' did look like a town.
The smarter beasts didn't hunt food primitively and even set up some kind of stalls for bartering.
Although it was an extremely simple trading system, it was indeed there!
Some small animals that needed protection also hid in these 'buildings' by contributing something to the Acacia trees so that the tree would protect the 'inhabitants' from predators.
The bloody scene of beasts or monsters hunting for smaller animals didn't exist at all.
If the outer zone was full of danger with enemies lurking between the gap of the roots, here, the scene was extremely peaceful and even lively.
Everyone looked at each other and wondered whether they were hallucinating.
Maybe that must have done something to them and that's why they all saw the same illusion?!
The mermaid was more sensitive to the so-called illusions underwater, so she quickly checked the truth and shook her head at her teammates.
"Everyone, it's not an illusion at all. It's real."
The scene in front of their eyes was not fake at all. It did exist!!
