Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The players lost two major combat forces at once, and for a while they really had no way to deal with the remaining bishops. The bishops also learned their lesson and realized that fighting alone would only result in being defeated one by one, so they put aside their personal grudges and infighting and united together.

After the First Bishop died, the Second Bishop became the leader. He was not as aloof as the First Bishop and knew that fighting alone would only lead to death. Moreover, someone had already killed the First Bishop, so what chance did he have?

The second bishop said in a hoarse voice, "Gentlemen, let's cooperate. I'm the leader now, obey my orders!"

"Alright, we'll listen to you for now. Let's deal with these guys first and then decide who's the boss." The other bishops thought for a moment and immediately agreed, but a few of them still had their faces full of dissatisfaction. However, now was not the time for infighting, so they chose to obey orders.

The others began to approach him one after another. The Second Bishop finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, being surrounded by three thousand people was no joke. If he hadn't been quick-witted and focused on defense, he would have ended up with the First Bishop.

As for the First Priest who was killed by the two men, the Second Priest smiled contemptuously, saying that being killed by two worthless little brats was truly a stroke of luck.

He would never follow in his footsteps. As for the light fluctuations that had made him feel uneasy before, he simply ignored them. Perhaps it was just his imagination. How could someone who was only level 50 emit fluctuations close to those of the God of Light? He must have just been mistaken.

He doesn't think about it deeply, or rather, he's afraid or unwilling to think about it deeply.

The remaining bishops huddled together, making the area impenetrable. For a moment, Commander Zhang was truly helpless against them, and a stalemate ensued.

However, a turning point soon appeared, though not in a positive direction: "Commander Zhang, a group of powerful energy fluctuations are flying towards our direction!"

"I can't breathe," a player with the talent "Scout" said anxiously.

Commander Zhang frowned. The only people who had come were the high priests. Their arrival at this time was not good. With the addition of these bishops, they might launch a counterattack.

"Find out how many people are there," Commander Zhang said.

Now that Si Yunming and Xu Jiawei are too exhausted to fight, perhaps it would be a better choice for them to switch from offense to defense.

"Bishop, we've come to your aid!" A dense swarm of black-robed figures flew in from afar. Commander Zhang roughly counted them and found there were several hundred of them.

The high priests were not as fast as the bishops, so their support came a little late. Fortunately, it was late, otherwise, humanity would have collapsed long ago.

"Perfect timing! Come with me and kill these humans!" The Second Bishop showed a look of surprise, then blocked the player's attack and began his own offensive.

Commander Zhang immediately issued the order: "All personnel, retreat! Focus on defense and wage guerrilla warfare!"

We can't just hold our ground; we have to move around flexibly. If we just hold our ground, these bishops can wipe out a large number of us with a single area-of-effect skill. So we have to keep running and counterattacking.

It will all end as long as we can stall until Xu Jiawei and the others wake up.

Commander Zhang now has great confidence in Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming's abilities. After all, the battle just now was still fresh in his mind. Without these two, the First Bishop could have dealt with all the players by himself.

The battle has shifted from a quick victory to a protracted war. After all, a quick victory failed, so it's necessary to drag things out. As for Mushroom God, we can only hope that he can hold out.

After all, he's a god; he's surely better than them.

This dragged on until nightfall. Xu Jiawei woke up from her dizziness, opened her panel, and discovered the buff on her body, leaving her speechless.

However, it looks like this buff will disappear in half an hour.

Rest is still useful; it can greatly shorten the duration of negative buffs. Buffs that originally took 12 hours to disappear can now be gone in just a few hours.

While Xu Jiawei was still unconscious, Si Yunming had already joined the battle. With Si Yunming's arrival, the players finally ended their miserable escape and began to counterattack.

Xu Jiawei closed her eyes again. Half an hour later, her limp body stood up. So much time had passed; she had to finish the job. So she joined the fight.

These bishops were very united, and Xu Jiawei couldn't defeat them one by one. She could only use area-of-effect damage spells like Light Spore and Photon Meteor to wear them down. Now, as a group of players fought, Xu Jiawei mingled among the crowd, using her skills to move around.

Even the bishop didn't know where the skill came from, but he noticed that every time a white flame appeared, several high priests lost their lives.

The number of high priests began to decline rapidly.

The Second Bishop calmly said, "Everyone, listen to my instructions. Don't panic. Find that person with the attribute of light!"

"Bishop, there are too many people, we can't see where the skill is coming from!" The high priests looked around warily, trying to see where the mysterious skill that could kill them was coming from.

Xu Jiawei realized they were looking for her and were moving around more frequently, releasing skills from different directions. She was currently very weak, so it was better to play it safe.

The second bishop cursed, "A bunch of useless trash!"

The high priests looked at each other, dissatisfied but forced to endure it. They were useless; why didn't they find someone to be their commander?

All they do is criticize them here.

The high priests suppressed their discontent and wanted to disperse so they wouldn't be targets, but without orders, they had to stay together.

The high priests were even more dissatisfied with the Second Bishop. He was incompetent in command and genuinely arrogant. In their eyes, there was no difference between the First and Second Bishops, and all the bishops, including themselves, were a bunch of arrogant fellows.

"Bishop, why don't we split up? That way, it will be harder for her to kill us, and we might reduce casualties," a high priest couldn't help but suggest to the second bishop.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" The Second Bishop's voice was cold. A black mist swept in, and the High Priest turned to ashes before he could even scream.

The surroundings fell silent instantly, and no one dared to raise any objections.

"Hmph, don't even think about resisting. I'm in command now. Everyone, scatter."

The Second Bishop still issued the order based on the advice of the deceased High Priest. He did not think the High Priest was wrong; he only killed him because his authority had been challenged.

The high priests immediately dispersed, and the players unconsciously scattered as well.

However, the majority of the attack was still on the bishops. Xu Jiawei had not fully recovered, so Commander Zhang ordered her to attack from the outside while Si Yunming held the front. Now, Xu Jiawei could reach the bishops, but it was difficult for the bishops to reach her. She mingled in the crowd and kept moving around.

While the bishops were busy dealing with the situation, Xu Jiawei discovered that since the flames turned golden, the intensity of her Photon Meteor had increased rapidly, and the flames had also turned pale gold, more than twice as strong as before, almost matching the intensity of the previous Light Sacrifice.

Is this a mutation?

However, it's a positive mutation, which is good news for her. Her attack power has increased, and she's now a self-destructing drone.

The current photon meteors are so powerful that even the bishops are struggling to cope, their bodies covered in burn marks from the flames, and they are constantly expending energy to extinguish them.
