Chapter 1877 "Monthly Feast"

Even just the leaf of a mutant plant could fetch for a high price!

After all, compared to beasts and monsters, mutant plants were rarer, especially those with medicinal attributes that were precious for alchemists and doctors all over the world.

The surrounding animals thought that since the water lily moved, it should be 'that time' of the month where they could get more food than usual.

Although what they would eat was different from their usual diet, it didn't stop these greedy monsters and beasts from eating visitors who came to the lake.

Those near the shore could still attack forest animals every single day, but those living far from the shore had to compete with each other, preying upon each other and so on.

Thus, the 'monthly feast' was important. Even if not every month would yield a good result, every time there was a 'feast', even the small monsters and beasts could get some food residue.

Smarter beasts even purposely went to hunt the beasts and monsters who were attracted to the 'monthly feast', not aiming for those foreigners at all.

Anyway, a monthly feast in this lake was always full of flesh and blood.

Ainsley and the others lacked such detailed information because even Eltonians and some special instructors didn't know about the mercenaries coming to the island once a month to work for the academy.

And so, the 'monthly feast' was not included in the basic information that could ensure safety at all.

No one knew that moving the water lily would trigger such a chain reaction because other Eltonians and instructors usually approached the lily on their own before taking some parts of the lily for their own uses.

Even if they wanted the lily to approach their boat, without a tamer or someone like Ainsley, it was just a pipe dream!

The group of contestants didn't know that they invited trouble.

Even the online audiences other than the ones who knew the deeper information about the lake also didn't know what kind of trouble would happen.

It was actually the sonic guy at the rear who had been using his ability to locate the surroundings who finally noticed something wrong.

His sound wave had just told him that there was more than just one movement coming to their boat, and it was definitely not the man-eating water lily.

For whatever reason, this large movement could not be neglected and so, the sonic guy immediately shouted to the others in the same boat as him.

"I have detected a large movement of animals and plants! It's definitely not just the man-eating water lily. Please be prepared for any danger!"

The group only invited one water lily to approach their boat so they could take whatever they needed from the water lily to finish the mission.

Anyway, the A+ mission didn't ask the contestant to take a whole plant because wasn't it easy to  scan the plan from afar?

It was not easy to kill a mutant plant except for using fire and other nemesis elements on plants, but they were surrounded by strange water, so the mission was also a bit humane and didn't ask for a living or a dead man-eating water lily.

The mission only asked Ainsley and the Merfolk woman to get the flower at the top of the water lily's leaves, but one lily would only produce one flower at a time, so they still needed to approach two lilies to get the flowers.

The flowers of this water lily were pink-yellowish, looking like the color of some kind of fairy or Thumbelina.

But this cute-looking flower was actually not as harmless as it looked like.

Although the ones that 'ate' prey were the leaves and the flower did nothing, the flower part of this water lily was also vicious because it drank blood.

It didn't eat flesh, but drank blood. It only wanted the blood of fresh animals or the juice of living mutant plants, which was why the water lily always threw its prey into the air first before eating them.

After all, only through this way, they could feed their lonely little flower with some fresh blood from animals who were just on the brink of death.

The so-called Thumbelina Flower of the man-eating water lily was vicious and seemed to have a mind of its own, but it was a rare material to make various elixirs and potions that had demands but no market due to the scarce supply.

It was said that this flower could purify people's bloodline and prolong life.

The flower could also be made into a potion that could stimulate bloodline awakening for those who had the bloodline of some awesome ancestors.

This flower was super popular among non-human beings and even humans also wanted this flower for the immortality effect.

Of course, even if the lifespan could be prolonged, this flower could only add ten years to a human's lifespan, but for desperate oldies, a decade was a luxury.

Ainsley and the others planned to take the flower one by one, but who would have known that after the sonic guy reminded the other contestants, they immediately saw one more huge man-eating water lily approaching their boat.

A man-eating water lily was the size of a normal water lily, but when it was in the state of hunting, it would expand to the size of a gigantic water lily that could hold up to four adults if the adults sat on their leaves.

Such huge leaves that were resilient enough to hold the weight of four adults, one could imagine the force, right?

The other water lily that came to the boat was not under any control and it came with pure intention to hunt!
