Chapter 1876 "A Chain Reaction"
Chapter 1876 "A Chain Reaction"
Although a plant tamer could communicate with plants, just like a beast and monster tamer could communicate with beasts and monsters, it didn't mean those beasts and monsters would always be 'docile' to the tamers.
In most cases, beasts and monsters were actually more repulsive and aggressive in front of tamers because they could feel the sense of oppression and threat brought by the taming ability.
Taming monsters and beasts always required forces and tamers always had this kind of natural deterrence that could subdue beasts and monsters.
To be honest, without the ability to make contracts with beasts and monsters, tamers would also be helpless in front of these wild lives.
The plants were generally more docile and friendly to plant tamers because instead of feeling threatened, plant tamers were regarded as one of a kind or friends.
But this alone might not be able to stop the man-eating water lily's instinct from attacking humans, especially when the man-eating water lily's favorite diet was actually human beings, hence where it got its notorious name.
With Ainsley's love virus, the chance that the plant would attack people could be lowered, but Ainsley could not command the plants as smoothly as a plant tamer, which was why she needed the plant-tamer girl's help.
If the mutant plant was a little bit more intelligent like the pumpkin king who even had his own backstory and compassion for family members, Ainsley could definitely be able to control the man-eating water lily safely.
A pity...there was also a time when Ainsley's love virus was not so effective in controlling others.
The plant-tamer girl nodded at Ainsley's reminded and quickly communicated with the plant so that the lily would come closer to the boat on its own.
The plant-taming ability was still effective on the plants and soon, the water lily slapped its huge leaves on the surface of the lake and slowly paddled towards the boat!
The surrounding plants immediately swayed away from the man-eating water lily that looked just like a pretty and ordinary water lily but deep inside the water, that ball-like roots already throbbed, as if using its muscle to paddle in the water.
Those roots with blue veins wriggled, but it never broke away from the 'ball' created of countless roots.
Only a few longer roots would break away from the ball and act as the plant's limbs in the water.
The movement of the water lily was quite huge underwater, creating ripples in the usually tranquil lake, but it didn't have much difference to the surface of the lake.
Everything looked just like usual except for the large ripples coming from the water lily.
Unknown to everyone, under the surface of the lake, many animals were attracted by the movement of the water lily plant and slowly followed this predator, as if fascinated.
To be honest, most of these animals became the prey of the carnivore plant groups in the 'outer ring' of the center of the lake, but this didn't stop many beasts and monsters from swimming around.
Most of these animals ate plants, but they also ate meat and the more animals around, the more prey they could get.
Small and large predators in the lake slowly swam underwater around the roots of the water lily, cautiously trying not to get caught for lunch and trying to catch lunch first.
Ainsley and the others knew that there was an almost complete ecosystem around the water lily because this plant also 'feeds' some animals through its fallen flowers, leaves, old rooms and other body parts.
Still, they underestimated the movement of just one man-eating water lily.
Every time a water lily made a huge move, the animals, especially beasts with higher intelligence, knew that there should be a huge 'feast' and there should be more than just one prey.
After all, the water lily usually never moved from its place and just caught fishes using its roots underwater and threw the prey into the 'mouth' above the water's surface.
However, everytime the water lily moved on its own, there were always tons of 'food' around and usually, it would be foreigners coming to this lake.
It wasn't as if this island was closed to the public. Every month, the academy would open the island for mercenaries to get some treasures and give satisfying pay to these mercenaries for their efforts.
After all, the whole island was like an exhaustible source of resources, and it was a must to take some good stuff from the island once a month.
Generally, students other than the Eltonians would not be directed to go to dangerous places with high mortality rates, but some Eltonians would still go to those dangerous places with the help of their instructors.
So far, there were not many cases of students' death in the Four Seasons Island because everytime the academy sent students to the island to experience life, most of the dangerous existence had been locked up, sealed, or wiped out.
If those existences were still alive, the students were never allowed to enter those places.
However, it was not the case with mercenaries who came to 'sweep' the island once a month.
The death rate of those mercenaries in this lake was actually high, and the culprit was not the mysterious monster in the lake, but the plants and other water animals who went for a 'monthly feast' with the man-eating water lily as the leader.
Still, many mercenaries and desperados came to this lake to catch some rare fishes, mutant plants and even took away the water of the lake because these things were all so valuable out there.
