Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei's heart pounded so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. After the commotion subsided, all the players continued on their way.

Xu Jiawei glanced at the stone door, keeping a watchful eye on it. It seemed there was a tiny crack in the stone door, allowing the mycelium regeneration skill to escape. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

Following the main group, the players soon reached the end of the corridor, but seemed to have encountered some problem. Xu Jiawei, who was at the back, did not know what had happened, only that the group had stopped.

Suddenly, a clear female voice reached everyone's ears, "Everyone, there is another large door ahead. We are ready to push it open. Prepare for battle."

The players fell silent for a moment, but soon the surrounding discussions became even more intense. With a creak, the stone door slowly opened.

Suddenly, screams erupted from the group of players ahead, blood splattering everywhere. Xu Jiawei had no idea what was happening; she only knew that the screams were getting louder and louder, and that the ceiling in the distance was covered in blood.

A commotion was heard ahead, and many people were saying, "Run! We've been tricked!"

They started crowding towards Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei was a little confused, so she used her levitation technique to fly upwards and then she could see what was happening.

A dozen or so people dressed in priestly robes were seen mercilessly slaughtering the players, while behind those priests, a guy dressed in even more ornate priestly robes stood motionless.

Xu Jiawei found this outfit very familiar; it was exactly the same as the outfit worn by the priest who had pursued her in the past. This meant that the priest was at least level 70 or higher, and that he alone could slaughter all the players.

Xu Jiawei instantly teleported to the ground and took the lead with a speed several times faster than the others.

Upon arriving at the stone gate exit, Xu Jiawei first patted it, then punched it, but the stone gate didn't budge.

Xu Jiawei had no choice but to take out her golden weapon and pry the gap in the stone door wider along a small crack. The golden weapon immediately developed cracks, and Rainbow ran out to help. The red earthworm also used its vines to try to widen the gap.

The stone door was gradually pried open, creating a gap of more than ten centimeters. However, the golden weapon could no longer hold on, so Xu Jiawei quickly inserted her staff into the gap.

The epic-level equipment was very hard and held up the gap in the stone door. Then, the players who arrived later immediately helped to widen the gap, but the stone door did not budge. When the gap was widened to 15 centimeters, it could no longer be pried open.

At this moment, the screams were getting closer and closer, and Xu Jiawei quickly told Xiaofen and the red earthworm to hold them off for a while.

"Little Pink, Red Earthworm, come back right away if you can't hold on any longer!"

Little Pink nodded, and the red earthworm attacked first, followed by Little Pink. In less than a minute, it returned covered in wounds.

Screams reached her ears, and the stench of blood filled the air. Xu Jiawei knew she couldn't escape, so she gave Rainbow a wink. She only had time to hand Rainbow her ring, bracelet, and pet backpack before the attack appeared behind Xu Jiawei, and all the players behind her were killed.

The attack struck Xu Jiawei, whose golden body lit up. She then shouted, "Rainbow, take the red earthworm and Little Pink and run!"

Rainbow gritted her teeth, knowing her master had a backup plan, so she shrank and ran out with Red Earthworm and Little Pink. Xu Jiawei let go, and the door slammed shut with a bang, leaving Xu Jiawei all alone.

Xu Jiawei looked at the corpses scattered all over the floor; the entire corridor was like a hellish space.

"So you're the player with the Light attribute. Heh, we've finally caught you. Let's see where you run now!" said a man in black robes.

Xu Jiawei gritted her teeth. Since she couldn't escape, she would take as many people down with her as she could!

Xu Jiawei stopped dodging and let them attack her. Now she had the Golden Body to withstand the damage. She could use the Golden Body three times a day for a total of 30 minutes!

She began releasing photon meteors, but before they could be fully constructed, she was controlled. Xu Jiawei felt that her magic was running very sluggishly.

She could only grit her teeth and persevere. What should have taken 8 seconds to complete the photon meteor took her a full half minute to build. During that time, she didn't know how many skills she had been hit by.

Finally, the photon meteor exploded in the narrow corridor, scattering sparks everywhere. The black-robed figures had no way to dodge and were hit directly by the flames.

Instantly, flames engulfed their entire bodies, but the leader in black robes merely snorted coldly, and a cloud of black mist filled the air, suppressing Xu Jiawei's flames.

Xu Jiawei pressed on, continuing to unleash photon meteors to confront the man in black robes until her last bit of mana was exhausted. The man in black robes was seriously injured, but no one else was injured.

If she ran out of mana, she would drink potions. Xu Jiawei didn't care about the potion consumption; she was thinking that she would take them with her before this body died.

......

The third golden body was activated, and Xu Jiawei's potion was exhausted. Due to her counterattack, even the leader of the black-robed men was injured, and two of them had been burned to ashes by Xu Jiawei.

"Hmph, you really are a tough nut to crack! No wonder some people say you're a threat, but you're all worn out by now."

Xu Jiawei knew this was her last chance; she didn't know how many people she could kill in ten minutes.

She rushed forward without hesitation.

[Ding! At the critical moment of life and death, the player has mastered the skill "Light Sacrifice," burning himself to perish together with the Dark God (the God of Light's final skill, which he used to control the God of Darkness)].

The skill came at just the right moment. In the last second before the golden body ended, Xu Jiawei smiled, her entire body enveloped in white flames. The leading priest, seeing the situation was dire, immediately shouted, "Not good! Run!"

However, Xu Jiawei had already rushed forward. The last sound she heard was the system notification of an upgrade before she lost consciousness.

When she opened her eyes again, she felt only relief. Luckily, she had used the mycelium regeneration treatment beforehand, and her spores had stuck to Rainbow, allowing Rainbow to help her escape.

She lay helplessly on Rainbow, relying on the achievement to recover health. Although the attributes gained from the achievement did not increase, the passive health recovery was still usable.

As expected, things went wrong. I was too confident, and when I actually fell into the trap, I was completely helpless. I even left my backpack and all my equipment there.

Including her house, she is now penniless.

Now only this mythical ring remains for Rainbow to bring out, and Xu Jiawei has become obedient, truly obedient.

Fortunately, she took so many people with her before she self-destructed. She didn't know how many levels she had gained. Xu Jiawei sat up and found that she was already level 33. The Red Earthworm and Little Pink, who had fought with the man in black robes, also gained experience. Little Pink burned all ten people, so she gained even more experience and directly reached level 40. The Red Earthworm also reached level 38.

She chose the pet breakthrough potion as the upgrade reward, since she had left the potion in the underwater corridor and would get it back sooner or later.

She fed the potion to Little Pink. After Little Pink drank the potion, the color of its wound, which was originally somewhat dull, immediately deepened. Finally, it was enveloped in pink light and became brighter and brighter, turning into a pink cocoon of light. Xu Jiawei was very surprised that it had actually evolved directly!

The evolution time was very short; compared to the cumulative burst of rainbows, it was more like a mutation evolution.

This was the only good news; Xu Jiawei wanted to check Xiaofen's attributes immediately.
