Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei plans to level up to 30 and then farm this Cataclysm Source Point.

Why upgrade to level 30? It was because she had a vague intuition that the fog here was much thicker than before, so the priest guarding inside would be stronger.

Both her judgment and intuition told her not to go in easily.

After figuring it out, Xu Jiawei prepared to search for treasure chests and kill monsters at the same time. There were more monsters here, and even monsters roamed all around, so finding and killing monsters wouldn't be difficult.

...This lasted for four hours.

Xu Jiawei slashed the monster's head with her sword, taking down another monster. She continued to wander and search, like a ghostly assassin in the mist.

At this moment, in the dense fog area, Lin Wenshi found a wormhole that Si Yunming had already discovered, which made him very frustrated. So he deliberately headed towards the direction where the fog was thickest.

Lin Jiaqi and her parents were somewhat uneasy and wanted to dissuade her.

"Mom and Dad, solving the wormhole problem will be broadcast server-wide, and the rewards will definitely be plentiful. We can't give up. Are we just going to hand over the rewards to someone else?" Lin Wenshi was seething with anger, and his tone was inevitably a bit impulsive.

After that, no one else dared to speak.

"Now that the Lin family is in your hands, we won't say anything more," Lin's father sighed.

Lin Wenshi went his own way, heading wherever the fog was thickest.

He actually found the wormhole. Looking at the large hole under his feet, Lin Wenshi's eyes flashed with fervor, and he wanted to jump down directly.

Lin Huajing advised, "Brother, something's not right here. Let's come back later."

[System Announcement: Congratulations to player Robert for resolving a natural disaster source. Congratulations!]

Upon hearing this, Lin Wenshi's wavering resolve immediately strengthened. More and more people were working to resolve the source of the natural disaster, so how could he stagnate again? What if someone else beat him to it again?

"The Lin family is now under my control. How can you accomplish great things without the courage to take a gamble?" Lin Wenshi reprimanded Lin Huajing.

Lin Huajing couldn't persuade Lin Wenshi, so he had to shut up.

Lin Jiaqi didn't dare to say anything. Her position in the family was already awkward, and Xu Jiawei was even more capable than her older brother Lin Wenshi. So now she didn't dare to say a word and could only cling to her mother and older brother, not daring to disagree.

Lin's father is currently fairly satisfied with her, at least she has a life-saving skill. But if she hadn't awakened this skill, she has no doubt that the Lin family would have ruthlessly abandoned her.

After all, she was the same kind of person; she was also raised by Lin's parents.

After taking precautions, the group carefully hung the ropes and descended into the burrow. The burrow was very wide and huge, and the deeper they went, the more insects they encountered.

The group could only endure the discomfort and continue downwards. Here, torches were no longer effective, so they wore gas masks to cover their heads tightly in order to barely protect themselves from the insects.

But Lin Jiaqi always felt that the insects had crawled into her eyes, her nose, and her ears, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

Since being beaten up by Xu Jiawei a few times, her mental fortitude has improved a lot.

Soon the group landed on the ground, and in doing so, they accidentally crushed a large number of insects. Their soles felt sticky and disgusting.

The movement of the insects helped the group determine their direction; the insects were surging out from the left, so the group moved towards the left.

A huge cave appeared before them.

This cave was far more terrifying than the previous one, and the group was momentarily frightened. However, Lin Wenshi was so engrossed in searching for wormholes that no one tried to dissuade him; instead, they silently followed behind him.

The further they went, the more insects they encountered, and the greater the resistance became. They couldn't see the way forward at all and could only grope their way forward, holding hands to avoid getting separated.

Once inside, the insects were so densely packed that they couldn't move forward at all. They were stuck halfway, unable to go forward or backward.

Lin Wenshi muttered to himself, "This is impossible. If the cave was blocked, how did the others clear out the insect eggs and destroy the temple? There must be other ways."

Lin Jiaqi couldn't help but say, "Brother, what should we do?" She didn't want to stay here anymore; the mountain of flesh made of insects was too disgusting.

Lin Wenshi frowned. He was unwilling to back out now, and it was already afternoon. Even if he went back, he wouldn't be able to return to his original home. In any case, he should explore first.

If you pay attention, the night isn't actually that scary.

He had tried going out at night, but there were more insects at night, and they were also corrosive, so he couldn't stay outside for too long.

He only considered going out because the first two disaster sources were eliminated at night.

"Wait." After Lin Wenshi finished speaking, the atmosphere became even more silent.

The group waited silently until around 6 p.m., when the mountain of insects began to move. The group was so uncomfortable from being squeezed by the insects that they unconsciously followed them and started to move outwards.

"Brother, if we don't get out of here soon, we'll be crushed into meat patties!" Lin Huajing shouted.

Lin Wenshi had no choice but to leave unwillingly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go first." With that, he led the group out.

But the speed of the flesh wall was beyond their imagination; they couldn't outrun the swarm of insects at all. But they couldn't stop; if they did, they would be crushed into mincemeat by the insects.

Lin Wenshi had no choice but to use a teleportation item to send the group 1000 meters away. The group managed to escape the insect's cave by holding a tight spot, and the insects swarmed out the moment they came out.

As the insects rolled out like fleshy balls, the group was not only shocked, but also experienced blurred vision and nausea.

In their recent escape, they unconsciously gasped for breath, inhaling some insects into their bodies.

Lin Wenshi took out the deworming medicine. This kind of thing is not precious. He got a prescription for it. This kind of herb is also very common. He brewed some according to the prescription and it was indeed effective.

The group took the medicine and drank it, still shaken. Just now, they had almost been crushed into mincemeat.

After a while, Lin Wenshi noticed that there were fewer and fewer insects inside the cave, and fewer and fewer insects were surging out.

He quickly led his family into the cave, and upon discovering only a thin layer of mist inside, his eyes lit up: "No wonder they explored at night; it turns out the cave is safest at night!"

Everyone's faces lit up with surprise, and Lin Jiaqi breathed a sigh of relief.

They continued forward, and seeing that there were no more insects around, they relaxed.

The group quickly reached the end, where a huge stone gate stood. "Brother, is this the so-called temple? Is it dangerous?" Lin Jiaqi asked pitifully. Her older brother used to fall for this, but now, Lin Wenshi seemed to see nothing, only staring intently at the stone gate.

Finally, Lin Wenshi spared a glance for Lin Jiaqi, saying, "Don't worry, your brother will protect you."

Lin Jiaqi gritted her teeth; she wanted to leave and didn't want to explore this dangerous place.

Lin Wenshi pushed open the door with burning eyes. He was completely obsessed. His mind was filled with nothing but the missed wormhole and the regret of missing the first broadcast.

But now, fate has given him another chance to make up for his regrets.
