Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"Old Hei, are you alright?" A voice that was hard to distinguish as male or female came from the scene; it was Qing An who had come to provide support.

"It's alright, but Qing'an, you're way too late. If you were two minutes later, I would be dead here." Old Hei spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and complained.

"Hmph, not even a thank you. I should have just let you die here." Qingxuan glared at Lao Hei after blocking the skill.

After all, he had saved him, so Old Hei still said some kind words, "Thanks, I didn't expect it was you who saved me." Old Hei stood up.

Qing An looked at the battered and bruised Old Black, "Then let's all come at you together. Can you still move?"

Old Hei patted his chest. "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. I can still kill them."

"Stop bragging. We don't even know who it was that we almost killed," the player said provocatively, while also expressing some regret. They were almost killed, but were interrupted. How hateful!

Old Hei's temper flared up again. "Hmph, you bunch of little bugs, if you didn't have martial ethics, how could you have hurt me?" With that, Old Hei drew his knife and charged forward.

Si Yunming immediately drew his sword to block Lao Hei, saying, "Leave this guy to me alone."

"You brat, all you do is talk big. Let's see how I deal with you!" Old Hei realized he was being underestimated, so he immediately pointed his knife at Si Yunming. Sure enough, Si Yunming had a short temper and was easily provoked.

Si Yunming said this to Xu Jiawei, and also to Commander Zhang.

Commander Zhang nodded and ordered the players to surround Qing'an. Xu Jiawei faced Qing'an, who was much stronger and more difficult to deal with than Lao Hei. Moreover, he was not as impulsive and easily angered as Lao Hei. This guy was ranked third in strength.

Xu Jiawei released the rainbow, the red earthworm, and the little pink creature, facing the dark blue sky.

"Even if you bring a bunch of idiots to gang up on me, you still can't kill me." Qing An glanced at the three pets with disdain.

Xu Jiawei retorted sharply, "Oh, my pet specializes in killing eunuchs. You can give it a try."

Laughter erupted from all around, and Qing'an's face darkened: "Hmph, sharp-tongued, I'll make you pay the price."

"You said last time that I would pay the price, but I'm still alive and well, aren't I?" Xu Jiawei retorted while dodging Qing An's attack.

Rainbow then rushed to the front and fought with Qing'an. When facing Rainbow, Qing'an realized how troublesome this mushroom was. It was impossible to kill it or hurt it. Rainbow could even heal itself. It would heal itself for every 1 point of health it lost. In addition, it had automatic regeneration, damage reduction, and damage sharing. All these things added up to the point that it was essentially harmless.

Qing'an felt even more disgusted. Although it wasn't very aggressive, it was still disgusting to deal with. No matter how he hit it, it didn't do any damage, making Qing'an feel like he had no way to use his strength and that he was punching cotton.

Even Qing'an, who is more rational, became somewhat agitated during the fight. The Red Earthworm, with its agile movements, launched sneak attacks from all sides, occasionally controlling Qing'an. Xu Jiawei seized the opportunity to use Photon Meteor mixed with Light Spores.

The other players who were seeing Xu Jiawei fight for the first time were stunned, even Commander Zhang was shocked. How to put it, this fight was dirty and disgusting.

Many players even secretly resolved never to go against the big shots, otherwise their deaths would be too humiliating.

"Is this all you know how to do?" Qing An was so annoyed that she could no longer suppress her anger.

After all, he hasn't even touched Xu Jiawei yet, but he's been getting hurt all along, which is something even he can't handle.

However, the situation quickly reversed when three more bishops arrived, followed by hundreds of high priests. This put immense pressure on them. Commander Zhang calmly issued orders, assigning players to attack. Xu Jiawei also released Rainbow Pink and Red Earthworm to help. Now, Xu Jiawei was left to face Qing An alone.

"Let's see who can help you now!" Qing An smiled as he saw the people who came to his aid.

"I'm enough to deal with you." Xu Jiawei said, "I can't lose my spirit no matter what."

"I think you're all talk and no action. Let's see how long you can keep it up!" Qing An felt as if the dark clouds had parted to reveal the bright moon, and even the speed at which he released his skills increased.

With the addition of Xu Jiawei's pet beast, the three newly arrived bishops can manage for the time being. Now that five bishops have arrived, none of them have been resolved. Xu Jiawei knows she needs to speed things up, otherwise, it will be even more difficult to deal with once all ten bishops arrive.

Aside from the one time Old Black unleashed his skill, we have no experience in dealing with such situations, so we've used several resurrection opportunities. So far, there haven't been any casualties, but if all ten bishops arrive, things could change.

Xu Jiawei could only temporarily summon the red earthworm back to assist her in the attack. As soon as the red earthworm was under control, Xu Jiawei immediately released the Photon Meteor Burn. After the consumption, Xu Jiawei's mana was also exhausted, and Qing An's face was pale, as if he was seriously injured.

This white flame is too malevolent, much like their dark skills, relentless in achieving their goal, but it is of the light attribute, completely countering him, and he needs to expend a lot of energy to deal with it.

"You said it was just one person attacking, but you still called for help," Qing An said sarcastically.

While thinking of an idea, Xu Jiawei replied, "It really is just me."

Qing An warily observed the white flames, which resembled the flames of a sacrificial offering of light. They were very troublesome, and if she were to be worn down like this, she might really die at her hands. So Qing An prepared to fight to the death.

Then, like Lao Hei, his originally handsome face was replaced by black, black smoke gushed out from his pores, his strength rose steadily, the magic patterns were invisible to Xu Jiawei, the smoke covered his entire body, and a cold gaze fell on Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei felt intense malice and immense pressure, similar to the feeling she had when facing the Dark God's avatar before.

Could this guy be connected to the God of Darkness? Why did she sense the aura of the God of Darkness, that endless malice that made Xu Jiawei's hair stand on end?

Without saying a word, Qing An teleported directly behind Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei had no time to dodge and could only avoid the vital points. Instantly, her health dropped to 12 points, and she was almost killed in one hit. Fortunately, she dodged the vital points and did not activate her Golden Body.

Xu Jiawei immediately administered the medicine and then constructed parasitic spores, which she could control. However, she needed to touch someone, which depended on the red earthworm creating an opportunity.

As expected, the parasitic spores were easily dodged, but the red earthworm happened to be on Qing'an's path. The red earthworm transformed into a giant tree and wrapped itself around Qing'an's body with its claws outstretched. Then, disregarding its body being corroded by the black substance, it pierced Qing'an's body with its sharp spikes.

Qing An's movements immediately slowed down. Then, Qing An screamed, and the dark aura surged. The red earthworm's body broke into pieces, and after it broke, more and more branches wrapped around it. Then, the dizziness was activated.

Xu Jiawei's eyes lit up. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she released parasitic spores, which landed on Qing'an. The stronger the opponent, the lower the chance of the control skill being effective. Xu Jiawei released three parasitic spores before she was able to control the person. Then, Xu Jiawei continued to release more spores. Mushrooms grew all over Qing'an's body, and he was quickly swallowed up by the black substance.
