The sound of many beasts, monsters and insects deep in the forest seemed to be much quieter, only becoming a background noise at one point.
The wind blew softly, bringing a burst of hot air, but the lake had a cooling effect, making the temperature around just right.
Not too hot but not too cold either.
There would be one or two beasts or monsters going to the lake to hunt the lake's aquatic animals and plants or simply just to drink water.
Ainsley could not see the depth of this lake that was a little bit covered with various strange water plants, but it was always right to be cautious.
The lake was really not that big that it covered the whole open area, which means people could walk around the edge of the lake to cross to the other side of the lake.
Ainsley had a hunch that this lake should be at the center of the forest and once she crossed the lake, she would arrive at the other side of the forest which would further lead to the Blood Cliff.
Ainsley still didn't want to provoke troubles, so instead of crossing the lake directly through the water using a boat or something, she chose to walk around the lake instead.
Although the time needed to cross the lake would be much longer when Ainsley made a detour, it also had a higher safety than directly crossing the unknown lake.
Who would know whether there were some strange lake monsters inside the lake, right?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA pity. Even if Ainsley wanted to avoid trouble, the mission sent by the judges seemed to want to make trouble constantly.
Before Ainsley could even make a detour, an A-level mission and a B-level mission were released simultaneously.
The B-level mission had the same difficulty as when Ainsley had to hunt the Sun Eater, while the A-level mission was the same as when Ainsley fought a strange insect monster on the way here.
The worm before was not counted in the mission, but the gigantic dragonfly insect that Ainsley fought before was counted as the mission.
Ainsley could solve the insect more efficiently after getting to know the terrain, but now, she had another mission and it was a rare dual mission.
[Mission level: B+
Goal: Get the Man-eating Water Lily
Deadline: 6 hours starting from now]
[Mission level: A+
Goal: Catch a lake monster's cub.
Deadline: 6 hours starting from now.]
When Ainsley saw the detail of the two missions, she was immediately speechless.
The water lily that the mission mentioned already had the name 'man-eating', which means it was extremely dangerous for living beings, especially humans.
And then, there was still an A-level mission to catch a lake monster's cub?
Ainsley felt that this mission was worthy to be ranked A+ instead of just A because the A level mission was to kill the gigantic dragonfly insect monster before.
Although it was not easy to kill an insect bigger than Ainsley's own body, Ainsley could deal with the dragonfly because even if the insect had wings, it was blocked by the lush tree canopies above the head, limiting its aerial territory.
But now, the mission wanted Ainsley to catch something in the target's own habitat full of their own advantages...
This mission looked more difficult than the previous missions, ah!
Ainsley felt that maybe she needed to cooperate with another contestant if possible because just getting the water lily alone required her to go to the lake with a boat.
No one knew how many monsters and beasts were hiding inside the lake, so if someone came alone...
Ainsley didn't dare to imagine what would happen next. Anyway, it was true that she had wings and could fly, but it didn't mean she would not be afraid of water monsters and beasts.
Ainsley didn't rush to create a boat with her Realism Art ability and instead, because the 3D map ability couldn't be used, she spread her love virus to the surface of the lake, covering the mutant plants as well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn a sense, a love virus could also be used as a detection ability because once the virus entered something, it means there were living beings there.
And through the infected victims, Ainsley could 'see' the outside world, but this sharing sense method drained love more energy than just using the live virus in a usual way.
Ainsley's charm ability had already touched the area of mind control and even a bit of possession ability trait, but each unique skill definitely required a larger amount of love energy.
This is when Ainsley's love battery passive skill was activated and quietly gathered the attention, good feelings, affection and love from people all over the world.
The love battery slowly transformed these feelings into an endless supply of love energy and the amount of energy needed to activate this passive skill was just a drop in the bucket compared to the output.
Of course, the larger the range of this energy transformation, the more love energy is needed to capture these good feelings and transform them, but like what was said before.
The output overwhelms the energy needed to operate this passive skill.
Ainsley continuously used her love energy to transform more love energy to be used in her charm ability and in no time, almost all plants on the surface of the lake or at the edge of the lake had been infiltrated with the live virus.
However, because the mutant plants were not as intelligent as monsters or beasts and usually acted with instinct, it was indeed hard to manipulate these mutant plants.
