Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

It seems these priests have become smarter; they know to sever their bodies in advance to prevent the flames from spreading.

However, what they did was like adding fuel to the fire; didn't you see they were already sweating profusely from the pain, and their movements had become sluggish?

Before they could react, Little Pink activated her high-temperature domain, enveloping them. Pink flames spread across their bodies. They struggled to escape the domain, but trapped within it, they couldn't break free despite their best efforts.

The group tried all sorts of tricks, but still couldn't break through Little Pink's territory. They became a little frustrated and their moves became chaotic.

Xu Jiawei was afraid they would self-destruct. If so many people self-destructed, even she would suffer. So she reconstructed the Photon Meteor and, during the construction interval, released the Light Spores.

Now that she's become much more proficient with the Photon Meteor skill, she can release other skills in the gaps between creating Photon Meteor without feeling too passive, giving her more options.

As her skill landed, those struggling in the fire had no chance to resist anymore; scorched by the flames, they could no longer unleash any skills.

"High Priest, save us!"

"High Priest, we're going to be burned alive! Aaaaaah!" With a heart-wrenching scream, he was instantly reduced to ashes.

Seeing their companions dead around them, they screamed even more pitifully, desperately pleading for help.

The high priest, who had been entangled with Si Yunming for half a day, flew forward, his black aura flowing, intending to shatter the domain with a single slap. Si Yunming also conjured black matter on his greatsword. The two collided, and the high priest still won, but he also bought Xu Jiawei some time.

With screams of agony, most of the priests in the domain died, and the remaining half lay on the ground, panting heavily, also exhausted.

The high priest hesitated for a moment, then his figure vanished from the temple.

Xu Jiawei: ? ? ? Ran away??

Even if the two of them combined, they might not have been able to kill the high priest, and there was a high probability that they would be killed instead. In the end, the high priest actually escaped.

Xu Jiawei had no idea what the escaped high priest was thinking.

The High Priest's injuries from the last incident hadn't fully healed, and he was afraid of being caught off guard, because this woman in front of him was too wicked.

He can kill this woman once he recovers from his injuries.

Xu Jiawei thought to herself, "This priest is far too timid and cautious. But timid people are generally very careful with their lives. He wouldn't use those life-threatening skills unless absolutely necessary. Perhaps we can devise a special strategy based on his characteristics."

"Brother San Dian, are you alright?" Xu Jiawei asked with some concern, and Si Yunming shook his head.

Xu Jiawei saw that apart from being a little pale, he was fine, so she was relieved.

Since no one is bothering her, she'll continue destroying the temple. Xu Jiawei strikes first, kicking over the statue on the altar. The statue crashes to the ground and shatters into pieces.

Xu Jiawei suddenly felt a chilling sensation surrounding her. She looked around and finally locked onto the statue, which only had a complete head left. The statue's eyes were fixed on Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei felt a sudden chill and then stomped on the head of the statue, crushing it. The chill disappeared. How could a broken statue dare to act like a god and glare at her like that? How unlucky.

Thinking about it, Xu Jiawei kicked the statue fragments even further away.

After smashing the temple, all that was left were these insect eggs that were still hatching. Little Pink burned them all the way through and had another full meal.

[Ding! Congratulations to player AAA Mushroom Fairy... Your team has destroyed a high-level Dark Temple branch and resolved a Cataclysm source, earning you 3 Diamond Chests and a Cataclysm source message, now broadcasting to the entire region.]

[Ding! Player AAA Mushroom Fairy... is the first player to resolve the high-level natural disaster source point, and has received a Diamond Chest*1]

After burning the insects, the system notification sounded immediately, announcing that four diamond chests had been obtained, two for each person.

Even Si Yunming showed a happy expression. Xu Jiawei felt that her inventory had been replenished again. It seemed that high-level natural disaster source points were not too difficult to obtain. Of course, this was also due to the High Priest's injury.

[System Announcement: Congratulations to player AAA Mushroom Fairy for teaming up with... to resolve a high-level natural disaster source. Congratulations!]

The chat channel repeated itself three times, and this time, the chat channel became lively.

[The luckiest person here: Bro, sis, you guys actually ran into each other! I'm going to find you!]

Not only Li Ming, but Zhang Yunting and Bai Yu also thought so, but then gave up, because they couldn't go and be a hindrance. They also had to deal with the source of the natural disaster themselves before going to find Xu Jiawei.

[Extraordinary: Awesome! I don't even dare to try the beginner level now, the pros are already at the advanced level.]

[Lanxiang Vocational School: Ah, two big shots have teamed up? Recruiting team members online, let's kill monsters together and split the rewards.]

[Foodie: My team is one person short, anyone interested?]

[Boiling Beans with Bean Stalks: Add me, I'm level 18 now.]

[Gaihehe: Everyone's leveling up so fast these days, I wonder what level these top players are.]

[Tofu Dry: Ah, is everyone going to kill monsters? Am I the only one just picking up wooden treasure chests?]

[Rainy Bear: Haven't you noticed that the wooden treasure chests are getting fewer and fewer? We'll starve if we don't go kill monsters.]

[Hey, I'm only level 8, I really don't want to kill monsters. I almost got killed by one when I got close.]

[Tofu Dry: I'm only level 9 too. Maybe the catastrophe will end before I find all the wooden treasure chests. The pros are progressing so fast, do they even need us?]

[Little Cake: Upgrading is to prepare for future natural disasters. Didn't the system bring us here precisely for this purpose?]

[Ye Yezi: This place is practically a leveling-up paradise!]

[Jane Eyre: Don't you want a system announcement?]

[The mischievous monkeys of Mount Emei: They're really captivating. This might be their first time on TV. I'll go kill a couple more monsters today.]

[Tofu Dry: The big shots are constantly making announcements on the system. How can we compare to them? I think I'll just keep looking for wooden crates.]

Xu Jiawei glanced at the system announcement and then gave a reminder.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Natural disasters can't be resolved anytime soon. Everyone should prepare. This disaster may last longer than any other.]

[Phoenix: The big boss has appeared, capture him.]

[Lots of nonsense: Catch +1]

[Akagi: Everyone, kill as many monsters as possible! Don't fall behind the main group, or you won't even know how you died.]

[Potion Specialist: I'm a pharmacist. With just herbs and a crucible, I can make simple potions. Anyone want to team up with me?]

[Prosperity: Add me, someone in our team has a crucible.]

Speaking of crucibles, Xu Jiawei's is at the bottom of the water. It's barely usable as a wok for stir-frying and making soup, but she doesn't need any others for the time being.

After closing the chat channel, Xu Jiawei looked towards the temple. She remembered that she had smashed a large hole in the west wall, and there was a passageway behind the hole.

Since we're already here, how can we not meet the owner of this tomb? They've extended a warm invitation.

The teleportation channel isn't open yet, and since we're just killing time, why not go see what the tomb's occupant is up to?

"Brother San Dian, there was a passageway behind the wall just now, why don't we go in and take a look?" Xu Jiawei was very excited. She strongly suspected that the owner of this tomb was a pharmacist. Now, she had no choice but to become a tomb raider.
