Chapter 1859 "A Man-Eating Water Lily"
Chapter 1859 "A Man-Eating Water Lily"
Unless the plants already became like the dead pumpkin king before or other mutant plants which became leaders of the other mutant plants….
It was not easy to find such intelligent mutant plants.
Even the tree roots that grabbed the worm's carcass were not so intelligent and just acted on instinct to devour carcasses.
That tree didn't target Ainsley not because it was a kind one but because it only ate carcasses and not fresh, living things.
Other mutant plants would be 'offended' if someone or something attacked them, but most of the responses were also more like a reflex than a show of intelligence.
The Sun Tree might be a slightly intelligent mutant plant that could initiate cooperation with the Sun-Eater.
The tree needed something and the Sun-eater would help. In exchange, the Sun Tree gave the Sunlight Fruit to the Sun-eater.
Ainsley used the shared senses of these plants at the edge of the lake or not too far from the edge to find the man-eating water lily.
Since this lily could eat humans, it means the intelligence was at least better than the Sun Eater, and the lily might also live at the center of the lake instead at the edge of the lake.
Although it could get more prey by living near the lake, it was also easier to be dragged out of the water if it was too close to the edge of the lake.
Ainsley didn't see the appearance of the man-eating water lily until she shared senses with one of mutant plants not far from the center of the lake.
The lake was not fully covered with water plants, but there were some lilies on the surface of the water or water trees at the edge of the lake with its roots going deep down the lake.
Ainsley only found one man-eating water lily after searching for a few minutes straight.
The moment Ainsley saw something that resembled a lily from the 'eyes' of the mutant plants, the baby subconsciously held her breath.
Not many plants had literal eyes and could see the surroundings clearly.
Most of the mutant plants sensed the surroundings relying on smell, noise, air pressure, wind, and so on.
They also detected prey and other living beings or threats through the energy fluctuation of those living beings.
Ainsley was still a bit lucky to find one water plant with one eye that people often called the One-eyed Water Grass.
This grass clung to other water plants that would often float to the center of the lake.
The grass itself looked like some kind of parasite and the 'flower' was an eyeball that could move around at will.
This grass did look scary as heck, but the grass didn't have strange mouths or something and it only survived by relying on the parasitized mother plant.
In exchange, the one-eyed water grass used its vision to get some food for the mother plant because the mother plant was the carnivore one.
Of course, the mother plant that could swim around the lake with its roots was named the Ballerina Water Plant because of its skirt-like leaves on the surface of the lake, plus the dancing roots beneath the water.
The ballerina water plant ate small fishes and small water animals with the help of the roots.
There was a mouth at the bottom of its flat skirt-like leaves, which would scare people if they saw the true scene.
Many students who had been to this forest knew about the One-eyed Water Grass and the Ballerina Water Plant.
When they saw Ainsley just standing still while gesturing something with her hands...
Many people were confused.
[What is she doing? Why didn't I start creating boats and go to hunt the monster cubs or catch some man-eating water lilies?]
Some audiences questioned Ainsley's behavior, but Ainsley's true fans immediately guessed what Ainsley was doing and popularized the 'science' to the rest of the online audience.
[Ain is not doing nothing! She must be using her love virus to share senses with these plants. She's trying to find the man-eating water lily!]
Many special instructors had also studied Ainsley's various abilities because the baby was one of the most popular and well-known contestants.
After knowing that Ainsley could do a lot of things with her charm ability, many people began to reassess the potential of charm ability users.
Although Ainsley's charm ability should be unique and different from other charm abilities, it was still possible for the charm ability users to develop in the direction of Ainsley's charm ability.
Ainsley successfully found the man-eating water lily and what she saw through the eyeball of the one-eyed water grass was just normal-looking lily leaves with no flowers.
The flat and round green leaf only had strange edges that looked a bit like frills, but other than that, this plant looked the same as other water lilies.
No one would have expected that this water lily would be a man-eating water lily.
It was said in the information that the man-eating water lily could absorb water to expand the size of the leaf and then those frills around the leaf would act as the teeth.
The water lily would fold its leaves just like the venue trap plants.
As for the stomach of this strange plant or something, if someone could see the roots, they would see huge ball-like roots right below the leaf.
And this thing which was made of countless roots, pulsating like throbbing veins, was the stomach of the man-eating water lily.
Ainsley saw the roots of the man-eating water lily from the picture on the shared projection screen— and it brought her a surprise!
