Chapter 1938 "Water Creepers"
Chapter 1938 "Water Creepers"
Once again, people had to sign in awe at Ainsley's 3D map ability that she had developed to this point.
The plant-tamer girl nervously flicked her fishtail as she looked at the vines projected on the 3D map.
The color of the vines were not green like the vines on the land and in the forest.
To be honest, the vines looked much more like algae with thorns, like a combination or a mix between a creeper and an algae.
The plant-tamer girl immediately recognized these vines even when the vines were not common mutant plants at all.
As a plant-tamer expert, the girl's knowledge about mutant plants and ordinary plants was naturally unmatched by a lot of people.
"I know this vine. This is usually called the water creeper or water vine. They move fast, but they will only attack enemies within a certain range."
The vines fed on anything and to distinguish between enemies and friends, the vines had to 'sniff' the target.
However, without even sniffing, the vines usually could recognize strangers from acquaintances through the aura or energy wave of a person.
Ordinary people could never come into touch with this vine, so only ability users with unique energy waves would encounter the vines.
These water creepers were sensitive to the energy wave from various creatures and no one could easily change their energy wave because it was unique and innate, just like a magical ID card.
Not many creatures could sense such an invisible and subtle energy wave, but these vines could do that thanks to the thorns around the bodies, making them a good plant to be used as gatekeepers.
The intelligence of these vines were about the same as monsters, so they usually acted more on instinct but they would never attack the people or creatures they were already familiar with.
After listening to the plant-tamer girl's explanation, the glasses man once again threw a question to the girl with a little bit of inquiry in his tone of voice.
"Do you know the weakness of these gatekeepers? Can you tame them or should we just fight them off? How is it? What do you think?"
The glasses man didn't intend to overwhelm the girl with so many questions, but he was indeed a little bit nervous after a long-term anxiety and stress.
That's why the man appeared to be a little bit aggressive to the girl, but the girl understood everyone's concern and didn't feel offended at all.
She just smiled kindly at the glasses man and spoke in an unhurried tone of voice.
"Well, the water creepers are just low-level mutant plants and it's easy for me to tame them. I'll just tame them so we can save energy to face other dangers."
Right after the girl said that, she immediately tamed the two creepers from afar and it didn't take her a few minutes to make the creepers turn a blind eye on them.
Seeing this, the plant-tamer girl urged the mermaid to move while the vines were still under her control.
"Quick! Quick! Let's enter the cave!"
With the girl urging, the mermaid immediately sped up and when the glass bead barrier slowly passed through the mouth of the cave and swam away right in front of the vines...
The vines were still motionless, as if drunk or as if they didn't bother to attack because they met a 'friend' and not foes.
The group quickly entered the cave and after they were a few meters away from the vines, only then did the girl stop taming the two vines.
The previously motionless vines slowly wriggled like snakes and soon, they kept guard at the mouth of the cave, unaware that they had just allowed five people to pass through.
Seeing this result, the group immediately thanked the plant-tamer girl and they slowly continued their journey.
Thanks to Ainsley's 3D map, the group was not too 'blind' to the surroundings.
Even if they sometimes met one or two monsters which were suspected as the guardian monsters, it was not a tough battle at all.
These guardian monsters were not as smart as beasts and it was more effective to play tricks on them and slowly ran away out of these monsters' detection range.
Actually, compared to the guardian monsters, the guardian mutant plants were more dangerous.
One time, a strange flower that looked like a lotus hanging at the ceiling of the cave shot petals toward their barriers and soon, the jelly barrier outside changed color from blue to purple.
Those sharp petals were poisonous!
The jelly barrier quickly detoxifies the poison, but the mermaid had to change her water barrier because the previous one had been poisoned, which became harder to manipulate.
Then, there were also water spider monsters hanging on the ceiling of the cave, startling the group to death with its sudden appearance.
The spider was as big as a cow, and those hairy legs were even more disgusting.
The strange thing was, this spider could swim well underwater and despite looking like a giant tarantula, it could nimbly swim in the water, as if it was fish.
The spider nets that it shot out were also not like the ordinary nets and strangely, the nets came out in the form of sticky water net!
The group almost became a cocoon on the spot because the sticky water net could not be cut down due to its nature as water but strangely, it was still tough and sticky, making things more difficult for the team.
If not for the sonic attack barely cutting down those nets, the group would have been stopped right there.
