Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Soon, the group had gathered all the basic medicinal herbs on the outer perimeter, and then headed deeper into the island.

Ahead lay a hill with a waterfall cascading down it. Xu Jiawei noticed a purple light shimmering in the center of the waterfall. After telling Zhang Yunting, the group headed towards the summit. Upon reaching the top, Xu Jiawei looked down at the waterfall and saw a small patch of thriving purple cloud grass, the main ingredient for making stamina potions.

"This place is too steep, it's not easy to go down." Zhang Yunting hesitated, about to give up.

Xu Jiawei shook her head and said, "I need this, so I have to go down and pick it."

Zhang Yunting nodded, took out a rope from his backpack, and said, "This is all we have right now. Tie the rope around your waist and go down."

Zhang Yunting hesitated, after all, this method was not safe.

"Okay, then I'll go down. After all, this is what I wanted." Xu Jiawei finished speaking and tied the rope around her waist.

"I'll go with you." Zhang Yunting also tied the rope around his waist, and the two of them climbed down the cliff one after the other. Because of the waterfall, the rocks were very slippery, and Xu Jiawei almost fell several times.

Thanks to Zhang Yunting's help, they arrived at the location of the Purple Cloud Grass without any major incident.

"The entire plant of the purple cloud grass must be harvested, being careful not to damage the roots and stems," Xu Jiawei instructed.

Zhang Yunting nodded.

Xu Jiawei took out a small hoe and carefully began to pick the fruit. After picking almost all of it, Xu Jiawei felt that something was wrong with the waterfall; it seemed to be hollow inside.

So Xu Jiawei walked into the waterfall, and a huge cave appeared in front of her. Who would have thought there was a waterfall cave inside the waterfall? Xu Jiawei went out of the waterfall cave, and Zhang Yunting was still picking. It looked like he was about to finish.

"Brother Zhang, there's a cave inside the waterfall. Want to go check it out? I feel like there might be something good there." Xu Jiawei waved her hand.

If you want to explore the cave, you must untie the rope. If you untie the rope and tie it to the rock, it shouldn't be washed away.

Zhang Yunting said, "Wait a minute, I'll send them a signal."

Zhang Yunting took out a signal gun from his backpack and fired a shot into the sky.

Zhang Yunting tied the rope to the rock and said, "Let's go."

They re-entered the cave and walked inside. The cave had a very complicated layout, and Zhang Yunting marked the forks in the road.

After traversing more than a dozen dead ends, we finally arrived at a natural stone hall.

In the center of the stone hall is a small pond with several water lilies floating in it.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for discovering the rare spiritual herb, the Myriad Lotus. The Myriad Lotus grows in energy-rich caves and can be used to refine infinite potions and unlock the maximum potential of human attributes.]

Xu Jiawei's eyes lit up. The human body's maximum attribute is 100. After using it, will she be able to break through the limit?

At this moment, Zhang Yunting was also somewhat excited. The two exchanged a glance and were about to go into the pond when Xu Jiawei felt a chill run down her spine again.

"Watch out!" Xu Jiawei shouted as a large snake rushed out of the pond. Zhang Yunting, with his rich combat experience, narrowly dodged the attack.

[Guardian: A level 10 water venomous snake that guards the Lotus of All Things. It will attack if anyone gets too close.]

Xu Jiawei and Zhang Yunting exchanged a glance, neither of them choosing to back down. Xu Jiawei pulled out a long knife and slashed at the snake, cutting a bloody gash. The water venomous snake merely flicked its tail, sending Xu Jiawei flying.

Xu Jiawei got up: "Tsk, that's really strong."

Zhang Yunting pulled out a dagger and stabbed it at the water snake. However, the damage was not even as great as Xu Jiawei's. The snake only flicked its tail, and Zhang Yunting lost one-tenth of his health.

Zhang Yunting charged forward again, unleashing his talent: Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon. The dagger plunged down once more, and the water venomous snake let out a painful howl as it lunged at Zhang Yunting.

Although the name is funny, its strength is real, with a tenfold increase in critical hit rate after the talent is developed.

"Watch out, it's poisonous!" Xu Jiawei shouted.

Zhang Yunting pulled out the dagger and jumped to the back.

At this moment, Xu Jiawei took out a golden longbow. This bow had some accuracy, so even someone like Xu Jiawei who had never used a bow before could hit a few arrows. The arrows shot from this bow had magical properties. There were 30 arrows in total, and one arrow would automatically regenerate every ten seconds.

However, the attributes of the arrows are random, making them full of uncertainty.

A flaming arrow pierced the snake's tail, scorching its flesh, and the water venomous snake let out a painful roar.

Another frost arrow landed in the pond, instantly freezing the pond and half of the water snake's body inside.

Xu Jiawei was stunned. It truly lived up to its reputation as a golden weapon. Its strength had a kind of numerical beauty to it. If it continued, it would soon kill the water snake.

Zhang Yunting was also somewhat stunned. What kind of weapon was this? It was so powerful! Even with such terrible shooting skills, it could produce such an effect.

However, the two were a little too happy. The water venomous snake hissed, and the entire cave began to shake. Soon, two more heads grew around its head.

[Water Venomous Serpent Frenzy: Attack and speed greatly increased.]

The boss has gone berserk; we must finish this quickly.

He shot an arrow at the water snake again, but this time the snake easily dodged it.

The water venomous snake came to Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunting had no choice but to use his talent again, sticking it into the snake's body, but this time the effect was minimal.

Zhang Yunting was bitten hard and sent flying. He was already poisoned, so he took out the only antidote he had found in the box and drank it. That attack had cost him half his health.

"We can't win, should we retreat?" Zhang Yunting was powerless to change the situation. If they continued fighting, he would die here too.

"They can't escape now, look at the cave entrance," Xu Jiawei said.

The entrance to the cave was blocked by a large rock at some point.

"We have no choice but to kill it and find a way out," Xu Jiawei shouted.

Zhang Yunting gave a wry smile and charged forward again.

At this moment, the water snake lunged at Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei gritted her teeth and did not dodge. If she could not hit it from a distance, what if she got close?

Seeing the water snake with its gaping maw, Xu Jiawei simply aimed.

"Danger!" Zhang Yunting shouted from the side, but he was too far away to get there in time.

Finally, when the snake's mouth was only half a meter away from Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiawei shot the arrow into the snake's mouth. Instantly, a burst of fire shot into the sky, and the snake's mouth in the very center was charred. The water venomous snake began to howl violently and thrashed about. Xu Jiawei, who was closest to the snake, was the first to be hit and coughed up blood.

Xu Jiawei pulled out a long knife and pierced the water venomous snake's vital spot. She then lay on the snake's back and was dragged around by the snake.

Xu Jiawei used Parasitic Spores, which slowed the water venomous snake down a bit. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Jiawei used Spirit Attachment Technique, and countless highly venomous snake mushrooms crawled out of Xu Jiawei's backpack and towards the water venomous snake's mouth. Just hold on a little longer.

The other two heads of the water venomous snake turned around and bit Xu Jiawei directly, trying to make her leave. Xu Jiawei gritted her teeth and persevered. At this time, her health had dropped to 1 point, and she survived by relying on the Golden Body skill.

Finally, with Xu Jiawei's persistence, the water venomous snake let out a mournful howl of resentment, its massive body crashing heavily to the ground, and it died.
