Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Everyone's eyes lit up. After all, with their current strength, they would die if they encountered a trap from a mid-level natural disaster source. However, those who were unlucky had already died.

Moreover, there should be more traps near high-level natural disaster sources, definitely more than in areas with mid-level natural disaster sources. If you encounter them, you will definitely not survive.

To be on the safe side, they have not yet sought out high-level natural disaster sources.

After all, almost none of those who went to look for them came back, except for this mushroom boss. It seems like they've been constantly dealing with high-level natural disaster sources, as if they're not even playing the same game.

She was the first person to resolve a high-level Cataclysm source point, so she should be very familiar with Cataclysm sources.

So the leader called Xu Jiawei back.

After that, the big shot from the three points joined Mushroom's team. The two of them entered the high-level natural disaster source point, and it was like entering an empty place, coming and going freely.

Three more people have recently joined, two of whom have become instructors, and the third is currently in the position of leader of the trainees.

According to Instructor Zhang Yunting, as long as Li Ming reaches level 40, he can immediately break through and probably become an instructor as well.

Everyone was envious; they also wanted to get on the big boss's good side, after all, it felt really good to be carried.

"Since we're going to the high-level natural disaster source, Comrade Mushroom, why don't you say a few words?" Commander Zhang handed the microphone to Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei took the microphone, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, there's not much to say. It's just that there are traps near the high-level natural disaster source. We just need to be careful of the traps. But with so many of us, we can gang up on them and beat them to death."

The audience erupted in uproar. Good heavens, there were traps everywhere? No wonder none of those who went to explore the high-level natural disaster sources came back; they really did die inside.

Fortunately, they didn't do anything reckless. Many people patted their chests in relief, feeling a wave of fear. They had almost followed others and done something reckless in the past, otherwise they wouldn't be alive today.

Xu Jiawei continued, "Don't blindly go to high-level natural disaster sources. If you don't have the ability to deal with intermediate traps, you won't be able to deal with high-level traps, let alone high-level natural disaster sources."

The people in the audience thought to themselves, "Don't worry, we don't have the strength to act blindly."

Those who survived offstage were all shrewd and wouldn't do anything reckless, nor did they have the ability to do so.

Does what the expert said mean that advanced natural disaster sources and intermediate traps are similar?

Someone in the audience immediately raised their hand and asked, "Hey, which is stronger, a high-level Cataclysm Source or a mid-level Trap?"

Good question. Xu Jiawei replied, "Normally speaking, intermediate traps are stronger. However, advanced natural disaster sources cannot be viewed in the normal way. Advanced natural disaster sources are usually located together with traps, and are roughly equivalent to the strength of four or five intermediate traps."

Everyone gasped. "So, how did you handle that, boss?"

Just as Xu Jiawei was about to continue speaking, Commander Zhang interrupted her, "Alright, you kids, why are you asking so many questions? You'll know how to solve it when you get there, won't you?" He then looked down at his watch.

"It's almost time, get ready to depart." After Commander Zhang finished speaking, everyone immediately lined up, and the group set off like a real army.

Finally, the team split into three groups: one led by Xu Jiawei, another led by Si Yunming, and the third consisting of Bai Yu, Robert, and Zhang Yunting.

With so many people, it shouldn't be a problem. However, even if they are divided into three teams, the cave entrance is only so big that it's impossible for everyone to enter. Therefore, they plan to further divide into five teams, meaning they need to find five natural disaster sources in one night. This is no easy task, and time is of the essence.

Everyone hurried on their way, not daring to delay in the slightest. Without Si Yunming by their side, the authorities could only provide large insect-proof covers, and they quickly found the first source of the natural disaster.

Xu Jiawei led the first group inside, which included several military personnel. The military personnel also joined the training group, training alongside the players. Their posture and discipline were still quite noticeable.

"Follow my instructions from now on." Xu Jiawei said, leading a large group of people behind her to the entrance of the advanced natural disaster source. She kicked the door open and immediately released her skill to throw them inside. Her series of operations were smooth and efficient, leaving everyone dumbfounded. How can you be so skilled?

"Hold the door. When reinforcements come from over there, those with crowd control skills should restrain them." After Xu Jiawei finished speaking, she divided the people with crowd control skills into two groups.

One group stood guard at the entrance, ready to contain the reinforcements at any time, while another group surrounded and attacked the high priest.

"Those with strong attacks, attack now." Xu Jiawei finished speaking and stood aside to watch the show. The group went from being flustered at the beginning to cooperating tacitly.

Because it's not a dark or light skill, the high priests will recover immediately after they attack. However, there's always a limit to their recovery, and they'll eventually be worn down, though it will take a long time. That's when outside support arrives.

Those guarding outside were also thrown into a panic. This was the first time they had seen so many high priests, and they were momentarily flustered. Seeing that the high priests were about to attack, Xu Jiawei sent out a photon meteor, interrupting the high priests' attack rhythm.

Xu Jiawei said, "What's the panic? Pay attention to the rhythm." The player quickly came to his senses.

"Is that you?" the high priest said. Xu Jiawei was taken aback. The voice sounded familiar, but she wasn't sure. Should she listen again?

"It's been so many years. Have you forgotten the days when I chased you around like a stray dog? You were just a nobody back then. I never imagined you'd have this kind of power now." The High Priest gritted his teeth, seemingly filled with resentment towards Xu Jiawei.

With this reminder, Xu Jiawei finally realized who was speaking. Wasn't this the priest who had chased her around in the past? After not seeing him for so long, he had become so weak, his strength had declined by more than a little bit.

"Hey, isn't this an old friend? How come you've become so weak now?" Xu Jiawei mocked.

The high priest seemed to be suppressing his anger. It was all this person's fault for causing trouble, which forced the experiment to be suspended, and he was punished by being imprisoned in the dark underground for so many years.

"I've stubbornly lived on until now, all for the day I could avenge myself on you. Heaven rewards the persistent, and I've finally seen you again!"

Xu Jiawei's expression was strange. Was she looking for revenge against me?

"With him?" After exchanging three blows, the High Priest was utterly astonished: "How do you possess such strength?" She had only survived before thanks to the Mushroom God, yet now she had become this powerful.

"Huh, I remember one of your companions was one of the people chasing me. And didn't you used to be called a divine messenger? How come you're a priest now? Were you demoted?"

"Shut up! I am still a divine messenger, but we were short-handed here, so I was sent to keep watch. And don't mention that despicable scoundrel to me!"

"I understand. You've been punished and marginalized, while that person got promoted and received a raise. How pitiful. I remember that person wasn't even as high-ranking as you back then, and they addressed you as Divine Envoy." Xu Jiawei analyzed the man's current situation from the High Priest's words.

"Shut up!" The High Priest was enraged, and his attacks became increasingly chaotic. Everyone was stunned. It was the first time they had ever seen a human treat the High Priest like a dog. A sense of admiration welled up within them; he was truly a role model for humanity.
