Chapter 195: Baby's Tears Longevity Plant
He was gazing at the lake water as he wanted to discover the secret about the reason these beasts acted weirdly. In the end, he casually cast his [Heaven's Eyes] on the lake water to inspect its description.

[Name: Infused Lake Water]
[Type: Consumable]
~ This shimmering body of water appears to be calm and still, but upon closer inspection, one can detect strange energy in its depths.
The water has been affected by a mysterious plant that enhances the yin energy in the lake, making it intoxicating to anyone who drinks it. This leads to fits of laughter as the yang energy is temporarily depleted, but the effects are temporary and harmless.
Despite its whimsical nature, this plant is actually a miracle. It produces fruit once a month that has the power to enhance longevity and keep those who consume it forever young.

'Found it.'
Reading the description of the water, he finally caught the culprit of this place as he was amazed inwardly which didn't show on his face.
The boy thought, "I will need to dive into the water in order to find this plant, But if I tell Helia and Nyla they will get unnecessarily worried. I will have to keep it secret until I make it."
He made his strategy to get the longevity plant and talked to Eve using telepathy.
"Partner, treasures are scattered at most places in the corrupted land either with less potent or more but others cannot recognize their advantages so your innate eyes are a blessing that let you discover them." The girl started telling him about his innate skill.
"Let's get to the main topic and talk about our strategy." He said as the girl was diverting to his innate skill which he already knew about.
"Yeah... The best time is most likely if you dive into the lake when it's midnight as the alligator beast will start to come out and they wouldn't be in their right state to attack you.
If you want me to dig the plant out for you and keep it in my wonderous forest realm you will have to locate it first. And I sense a strong entity that's protecting it but even if it attacks, Helia might be able to handle it but you and Nyla will have to stay out of the battle." Eve explained the plan that she thought may work better.
"Any suggestion about the overflowing of laughing gas if I enter." He asked as he was gazing at the infused water with its intoxicating effect.
"You can seal your ears and nose, just block them using your mana. Your [Heaven's Eyes] should be enough as long as you don't let the water get into your body you won't have to worry about its effect.
Moreover, It's not like that gas can do much to you, Partner but still you should be wary because we don't know how much you can resist the amount of its effectiveness after getting into the water at midnight." The Elven Monarch beast said as she had previously seen him not getting affected by the water.
"Okay, I will prepare then." The boy walked back towards the tent as he needed to get ready for the grand plan.
As night fell, Nyla and company were a few dozen meters away from the edge of the lake, the magenta-haired beauty was ready to slay more laughing alligator beasts that might start emerging from the water.
Suddenly, Helia spotted movement in the water, and turned to Nyla, she said, "It's starting. Get ready."
"Yes, Big sister." Nyla nodded.
The laughing alligator beast started to emerge from the depths, its smiling face shone in the moonlight as it dragged its body out of the water and trudged several meters away before rolling on its back.
The girl's eyes lit up as the moment had come for her to power level once again. Nyla summoned her black spear as she sprang into action. This time her agility and strength were at a greater level than the first time she arrived here.
Helia watched from the sidelines, admiring Nyla's innate yellow fire skill and its grace that was swirling around the girl, dancing with radiance and beauty which matched the Magenta-haired beauty.
However, her eyebrows scrunched as she realized that the crimson-haired boy was nowhere to be seen. She looked around, but there was no sign of the young boy.
"Ah... How can he be so irresponsible." She started to get worried as she couldn't find him.
When the girls were busy with laughing alligator beast, Rio had scurried away quietly to the far away of their side, It took him some time but he needed to make sure they wouldn't stop him.
The boy used his mana to seal his skin pores, nose, and ears which might cause the water to get into his body before diving into the lake.
As Rio swam deeper into the lake, he noticed the laughing alligator was escaping from the water. He decided to inspect them using his [Heaven's Eyes] as he didn't do so previously, thinking this might help him get some clue.

'So, that's the plant's name.'
The boy didn't get to discover much except the name of flora and what beast soul Nyla may have farmed so far.
When he reached deeper into the lake, he was able to see a strange silver light flickering in the distance. The boy was curious as he swam towards it, his heart was filled with excitement and little apprehension but he kept his calm.
