Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The mushroom guards scattered to find water, while Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming went to find treasure chests and kill monsters.

After killing for a while, they stopped. Xu Jiawei sat on the ground, took out some food, and was a little hungry. The two prepared to eat.

She was also preparing to relax. Since arriving at the survival game, Xu Jiawei hadn't been able to completely relax; all she could think about was becoming stronger and surviving.

The other players probably thought the same way; everyone's expression showed only exhaustion and weariness.

"Hey, if the survival game ends, what will you do?" Xu Jiawei asked while eating.

Si Yunming looked up at the sky and replied, "I'll probably wander around a bit."

He then turned his gaze to Xu Jiawei, "And you? What do you want to do after this is over?"

"Me? I'll probably find a place to live in seclusion and stay home," Xu Jiawei said after thinking for a moment.

The atmosphere between the two fell silent again, until finally Si Yunming spoke up, "Then take me with you."

Xu Jiawei paused for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

But who knows what the future holds? After all, what can they do against an opponent that even the gods cannot kill? The actions of the Dark God weighed heavily on their hearts.

But they must stop the Dark God's plan, just in order to survive in this world.

After finishing their meal, the two rested for a while before continuing their search for the treasure chest. Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming silently killed the monsters, thinking that this was a way of freeing them.

Rather than be parasitized by insects and become a puppet, Xu Jiawei would rather die than become such a monster with her body crawling with insects.

In the past few days, they have also encountered several demonized humans who attacked them, as if they have turned into creatures like these monsters.

Xu Jiawei could only feel a sense of shared sorrow at the fate of these people. They also deeply realized that there would be no good end for them if they surrendered to the Dark God, so they might as well fight to the death.

"Master, we've found a water source!" Rainbow suddenly said, interrupting Xu Jiawei's thoughts.

"Where?" Xu Jiawei asked, perking up.

Rainbow hesitated, then said, "It's over there, but... Master, you'll know once you go and take a look." She left everyone in suspense.

Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming sat on top of the rainbow and quickly approached the water source.

The further they went, the more humid the air became, and the more lush the vegetation grew. Xu Jiawei jumped down and began to gather herbs. Si Yunming also came down to help. It was still early, and going there now would only mean waiting until dark, so they might as well gather herbs and slowly make their way there.

As they walked further, Xu Jiawei could even hear the sound of water. The two hurried forward and finally stopped by a lake.

This is it. Xu Jiawei's field of vision is only about 10 meters, so she has no idea how big this lake is. However, Rainbow has already sent her underlings to investigate.

News may soon arrive that the mushrooms, being non-animals, are naturally unafraid of these old insects, and thus easily reached the center of the lake.

After receiving the message, Rainbow said to Xu Jiawei, "Master, there is a small island in the middle of the lake, which is quite far away. I'll take you there."

This was a good idea, and Xu Jiawei agreed. The rainbow immediately became enormous, jumped into the lake, and then placed Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming on its head.

As the rainbow moved, huge waves rippled across the lake. The fog around the two people grew thicker and thicker, eventually becoming a solid black fog that lingered about 10 meters away from them, like a black dome covering them.

The rainbow moved quickly, but it still took it nearly an hour to reach the small island in the center of the lake.

This island isn't very big, about 5,000 square meters. If there were no fog, you could probably see the whole thing at a glance.

Xu Jiawei figured it out thanks to Rainbow leading her around the island.

After circling the island once, they prepared to go ashore.

Once they reached the island, their field of vision decreased to only 5 meters. Rainbow shrank and followed behind them.

As they walked forward, the fog grew thicker and the visibility decreased. Xu Jiawei couldn't even see where Si Yunming was. The two could only hold onto each other, afraid of getting separated.

Xu Jiawei took the opportunity to release Little Pink. The pink light shone around, and Xu Jiawei was able to see the surrounding terrain clearly. If it weren't for these troublesome insects, this place would probably be a beautiful place.

Unfortunately, the environment was pitch black due to the insects, making the place feel very oppressive and terrifying. Soon, the two arrived at a pool of water. Calling this place a pond would be an understatement. The pond was very small, the water was black, and thick mist was billowing out of it.

It's more like a stinking ditch than a pond.

The two exchanged a glance. There was still half an hour until dark, so they could rest for a bit and wait until it got dark before jumping.

As expected, the source of the natural disaster was very different from the trap. The water source where the source of the natural disaster was located was even stained the color of a stinking ditch. How could it be as clear as the trap?

Night fell quickly, and the insects emerged from the water like fleshy balls, which was disgusting. Soon the water became clear, and the two jumped into the water to explore the underwater environment.

The deeper she went, the darker the underwater environment became. Fortunately, she had been using two goggles and an underwater searchlight for the past two days, which allowed her to see the underwater environment clearly.

Si Yunming tugged at Xu Jiawei's sleeve and pointed in a direction. Xu Jiawei nodded and then followed Si Yunming as they stealthily headed in that direction.

A dark hole was hidden behind the seaweed. The two swam into the hole and continued swimming forward without any hesitation.

Now that their strength has greatly improved, they can hold their breath for at least ten minutes. They swam forward along the cave entrance, and the further they went, the wider the environment became, until a protective shield appeared in front of them. They swam into the shield and began to pant heavily.

Because there is air here.

The stone door was right in front of them. The two opened it with perfect coordination. Xu Jiawei threw a photon meteor as usual, but no screams came from inside. It seems these people have become smarter.

Si Yunming stopped controlling his speed and kicked the door open. He saw that all the priests were hiding behind the wall. The photon meteor hit the wall, only making a dent.

The priests were unharmed, but the two of them had already cleared the traps, so they weren't afraid of these. They quickly divided the tasks: Xu Jiawei attacked the five junior priests, while Si Yunming held off the senior priest.

After the high priest and the junior priest were separated by Si Yunming and Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiawei began the cleanup operation. This high priest was not as strong as the previous priest, so he could not do anything to Xu Jiawei and could only watch helplessly as she cleaned up the junior priest.

"Get out of here!" the High Priest said, but Xu Jiawei didn't give them a chance. Xiao Fen used her high-temperature field, and together with Xu Jiawei's photon meteor, they took down the people one by one.

The high priest cursed under his breath, then immediately fled. If this person really wanted to escape, even with Xu Jiawei's strength, she couldn't stop him; even the red earthworm couldn't catch him.

Fortunately, she completed the first phase of her mission!
