Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[Upgrade Quest: Chapter 1, Defeat 50 Dark Temple Priests. (32/50)]

This upgrade quest was really well hidden. Xu Jiawei searched through the panel for a long time before finding the quest entrance. Although it was very well hidden, the quest interface was quite well-designed.

This is the first chapter of the quest. Are there a second and a third chapter? She used to play games before, and some low-quality games do indeed have a first chapter, a second chapter, and a third chapter for their job change quests.

Si Yunming asked with some curiosity, "How did it go?"

Xu Jiawei shook her head. "I'm stuck at the level. I need to do some level-up quests to break through. The first stage of the quest requires me to kill 18 priests."

"Is that so? If the natural disaster ends, but the mission is still to kill the priests, or the mission isn't completed, wouldn't that completely lock your level?" Si Yunming asked.

[Ding! The task is set based on the player's current status. If you are unable to complete it due to special circumstances, you can change the task.]

The system's words put both of them at ease.

Si Yunming is now level 35, so he said, "Then finish your leveling quests first."

Xu Jiawei thought about it and decided that this was a good idea. By the time she finished her level-up quests, Si Yunming might have reached level 40 as well.

Where there are many priests, there are bound to be many traps. Xu Jiawei prepared to lead Si Yunming back to the trap at the bottom of the lake to seek revenge.

She's already level 40. She might not be able to kill the High Priest, but she can definitely kill the Lesser Priest, as long as Si Yunming can hold off the High Priest.

After Xu Jiawei killed the junior priest, it would be incredibly difficult for the senior priest to kill the two of them. The two were very strong fighters, especially when they worked together.

The two devised a plan and returned to the foggy area. The fog hadn't dissipated yet, indicating that there were traps to mislead them. The true source of the natural disaster was hidden and hadn't been discovered yet.

"This time, I will take back everything that belongs to me!" Xu Jiawei declared boldly, and Si Yunming's lips twitched.

Si Yunming wouldn't be affected by the insects, but Xu Jiawei would. Not knowing how effective Si Yunming's treatment would be in the water, Xu Jiawei still drank a bottle of insect repellent. Afterward, she followed Si Yunming and jumped down. She saw the familiar door again. This time, Xu Jiawei was smarter and moved several large rocks under the door beforehand.

The stone was specially selected by Xu Jiawei; it was extremely hard, and Xu Jiawei believed that the door could not possibly break it.

But let's not make any promises yet, in case we actually break them.

As I walked into the passage, I heard a crack behind me; the stone I was carrying had been smashed in half, shattered into pieces.

Fortunately, the door was about 40 centimeters off the ground, which was enough for the two of them to crawl through.

Xu Jiawei then looked at the mess on the floor of the passageway, all of which were things she had dropped. The first thing that caught her eye was her house, which was now half collapsed. It was obviously vandalized. Everything inside was broken, especially the bathroom that Xu Jiawei had asked the domineering CEO to bring.

Upon seeing this, Xu Jiawei pinched her philtrum hard, her blood rushing to her head. "Who did this?! Who did this?! I will make them pay!"

Si Yunming patted Xu Jiawei on the shoulder to comfort her, and gestured for her to put her things away first.

Fortunately, the function of carrying a shelter has not disappeared, and it can still be put into the backpack.

Xu Jiawei looked at the shelter in the backpack, which showed that it was a damaged shelter that could be repaired.

"It's good that it can be repaired," Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief. Then she saw the materials scattered all over the ground. Seeing these things, Xu Jiawei immediately turned red with anger. None of the materials were usable.

Even the wood was broken in half, the metal melted on the ground, and the food was trampled. Xu Jiawei closed her eyes and opened them again, but the situation remained unchanged.

Si Yunming silently picked up the broken staff and the shattered equipment from the ground, and remained silent for a moment.

Finally, he picked up the staff of the Goddess of Light, which hadn't changed at all. Huh, this thing wasn't broken?

This thing was probably originally a god-level piece of equipment, something these priests couldn't possibly damage. But to just leave it here like this is really careless. If it were Xu Jiawei, she would definitely hide it so that no one could find it.

Priest: Is it possible that we are completely unable to touch this thing?

It wouldn't be surprising if they were burned to ashes if they encountered something like this.

Xu Jiawei put the staff into her backpack, ignoring the other equipment that had been smashed to pieces, and headed straight into the depths of the passageway.

After all, she wasn't exactly a garbage collector.

They quickly arrived at the stone gate. Si Yunming pushed the door open first, and Xu Jiawei began constructing the photon meteor again. Si Yunming clearly felt a strong force coming from inside the gate and wanted to open it quickly, so he tried to control his speed.

It seemed that what was inside the door didn't want them to launch a sneak attack beforehand. Seeing the veins bulging on Si Yunming's face, Xu Jiawei quickened her pace and released a Bright Spore. The Bright Spore floated into the door, and Si Yunming felt that the door's power had weakened, so he increased his strength.

The door slowed down as it opened, and the photon meteor flew out and into the room. With a scream, Si Yunming realized that the power inside the door had weakened. The High Priest was about to make his appearance, so he loosened the door. The instant Si Yunming loosened the door, a loud bang was heard.

The original stone door was removed and flew into the hall, revealing the situation of the group to the two.

"You actually dare to come here! This time you won't escape!" The high priest had recovered from his injuries, and seeing that the player who had injured him had actually come here, he was filled with hatred upon seeing his enemy.

"How dare you break my things! I'll make you apologize!" Xu Jiawei gritted her teeth. Si Yunming listened to their childish conversation and then flashed behind the High Priest.

The High Priest could only deal with the enemy at hand, but he didn't intend to give Xu Jiawei a chance to deal with the Junior Priest, so he said, "You guys come and help me, don't fight that woman alone."

"Yes, High Priest!" the junior priests replied in unison.

Xu Jiawei had no choice but to change her strategy, deliberately blasting the photon meteors into the crowd. Xu Jiawei also deliberately avoided Si Yunming. The two cooperated perfectly. When Xu Jiawei released her skill, Si Yunming would retreat. Now even the High Priest had to be harassed by the two, and even the plan to deal with Si Yunming first was ruined.

Little Pink followed behind these priests, releasing a high-temperature field whenever she had the chance to trap people inside. Xu Jiawei would then release a photon meteor to free the trapped people.

Although Xu Jiawei seems to be winning, Si Yunming is also starting to get injured, and if this continues, he won't be able to hold on for long.

Xu Jiawei could only release light spores to interfere with them and parasitic spores to slow them down, buying more time for Si Yunming.

Although Xu Jiawei's other skills, besides Photon Meteor, don't deal much damage and have a slow damage output speed, she's the most annoying person, no one can argue with that.

The High Priest shattered the light cocoon before him once more. As Xu Jiawei's abilities and level increased, the light cocoon became increasingly solid. Even the High Priest needed three seconds to break it, let alone the Lesser Priests. Once Xu Jiawei controlled them, they would have no chance of escaping; turning to ashes would be their only fate.
