When the mermaid looked back once in a while and found out that the glasses man's face was already as pale as a ghost and the man even broke into a cold sweat, the mermaid immediately shouted to the other teammates.
"Not good! The glasses man is already at his wit's end! Anyone here create a barrier? Or does anyone have any items that can create barriers?!"
When Ainsley heard what the mermaid girl said, even when she was also exhausted after cutting down roots for thirty minutes straight, the girl immediately offered to help.
"Me! I can create a barrier but it should be inside the glasses man's barrier because if not, I don't know if my barrier will work or not."
Ainsley still didn't know whether her Realism Art ability would work when it came into touch directly with the lake water.
After all, the glasses man's barrier ability could be called 'normal' in the lake because there were many places underwater with natural barriers.
But her Realism Art ability was uncommon and a barrier created by this ability should not be 'logical' or 'natural'.
The others also didn't want to risk their lives just to bet on Ainsley's barrier that she created unconventionally, so they could only settle on the second-best thing.
The outer barrier would still be left for the glasses man to control, but the inner barrier was left to Ainsley.
To reduce the burden on the glasses man, Ainsley's barrier would absorb most of the special abilities effects while the glasses man's barrier would bear the physical impact.
The group swam fast, but the crazy monsters also kept following the group closely, not letting go even for a second.
Naturally, their wounds and blood attracted the attention of many lurking monsters in the slum and within just a few seconds, a group of high-level monsters appeared around those wounded monsters.
Ainsley and the others didn't know how the wounded monsters were surrounded or devoured alive, but anyway, they knew that there were at least ten huge monsters behind them, and the combination of the ten monsters were enough to overwhelm countless elephants.
These monsters were not only huge in size, but they were also nimble!
The attracted monsters did gather around and fought with the two wounded monsters, allowing the group to distance themselves from the cruel battlefield.
However, ten monsters could kill two heavily wounded monsters within just a few seconds, and the rest of the time was used to devour those monsters to death!
So many monsters swarmed to eat the two heavily wounded monsters and it didn't take time for some monsters in the crowd who had eaten most of the dead monsters' meat to notice the group of five people in the distance.
The group was already a distance away and with the muddy water, the mist and other factors, it should be difficult for these ten monsters to find the group's existence.
However, many water monsters had a keen sense of smell, and the group was already a bit stained with the blood of the two monsters.
Although they weren't directly splashed with the blood, the barrier was splashed.
In order not to waste energy, the glasses man didn't change the barrier and just his water element ability to wash away the blood on the barrier.
However, the direction of the blood flowing away from the barrier was still noticed by these monsters and soon, the monsters rushed to the group with greedy eyes.
Each of them drooled and they swung their fishtail fast, almost forming an afterimage.
The gruesome blood, meat and bone residue in their teeth could be vaguely seen from afar, and if there were anyone around, they would definitely smell the fishy smell of blood and other nauseating smell from the mouth of these monsters.
The group knew that these monsters could not leave the slum, so they only had to leave the slum and returned to the town to avoid these monsters.
But little did they know that strangers could visit the slum casually, but anyone other than the patrol guards or beasts recorded by the barrier created by several beasts would not be able to leave the slum from the entrance.
The water beasts here all had high intelligence and they were the ones who indirectly created such a town for their descendants to have a safe place.
The Acacia trees all had relatively high intelligence, but aside from the Acacia king, the others only had intelligence equal to toddlers.
On the other hand, many beasts who lived here already had the same intelligence as an average adult in various races out there.
So, this underwater lake town was carefully designed by many beasts just to ensure the safety of their future generation.
The humans who often came to the underwater town also didn't hunt any monsters or beasts in the town because if they did, they would definitely be attacked by the whole town!
The people who often came to the lake to get some Acacia roots never went to the slum again and risked their life to get the roots from the town instead for some reasons.
It was not only because of the dangerous high-level monsters lurking in the slum, but also because of the strange barrier that enveloped the slum.
It would be easy to leave the slum if one could just return to the entrance with the highest safety factor or swim to the surface of the lake in a straight line, not caring about directions.
But, because there was a huge natural or man-made barrier here, the two methods didn't work at all!
