Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The group collapsed to the ground, and Li Ming spat fiercely at the corpse.

"How dare you say such things to your sister? You're asking for it!"

Xu Jiawei's face looked rather grim. "I never imagined we would waste a whole day here."

The two also looked westward as the sun gradually set, and Zhang Yunting's expression turned somewhat grim.

"It's all these people's fault. Instead of going to the central area, they're hiding here plotting against us." Li Ming sat down on the ground, feeling weak. The group was now much further away from the central area.

At this moment, due to the man's death, Xu Jiawei's spirit possession technique was restored.

Seeing Xu Jiawei's pale face, the mushrooms seemed to notice and gathered around her, as if to comfort her.

Xu Jiawei patted Mushroom's head: "Luckily, you guys are here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Jiawei realized, "Oh right, there are mushrooms too."

Xu Jiawei walked deeper into the mushroom forest again. She saw what looked like a big mushroom in the deepest part. Zhang Yunting and Li Ming didn't say anything and followed her.

Before long, Xu Jiawei arrived at the deepest part of the mushroom forest. A mushroom about ten meters tall stood in the center of the forest, very large, with a length-to-width ratio that was very close.

Xu Jiawei took a deep breath, took out her attribute mushroom, and used her wish: "I hope this mushroom can safely lead us to the central area."

Seeing her wish change to "Wish 0/1", Xu Jiawei fused the four types of mushrooms with the giant mushroom.

There's a reason for choosing the attribute mushroom. You need speed to travel, strength to encounter monsters on the road, defense to be attacked by monsters, and stamina to travel long distances. Xu Jiawei considered all of these factors.

Seeing that the giant mushroom, which incorporated the four types of mushrooms, seemed to have changed little, Xu Jiawei nervously used the spirit-binding technique.

The giant mushroom sprouted arms and legs, let out a "roar," and stared at Xu Jiawei with its dark eyes like black holes.

"Could you take us to the central area?" Xu Jiawei asked.

The big mushroom nodded.

The three of them placed their hands on the ground and climbed up. The giant mushroom placed them on its umbrella-like canopy, which was even larger than the mushroom itself, so there was no need to worry about them falling off.

After the three of them were settled, the mushroom started walking. Despite its fat size, it was a surprisingly agile fat guy.

"Awooo." The big mushroom made two noises, and Xu Jiawei seemed to understand what the big mushroom meant.

"Are you asking me to bring all the mushrooms to life?" Xu Jiawei asked.

"Awooo!" So Xu Jiawei used the spirit-binding spell, and all the mushrooms in the mushroom forest began to jump around and scatter everywhere. The big mushroom let out a roar, and all the mushrooms lined up.

The big mushroom opened its mouth wide, and the little mushrooms jumped in one by one until the last little mushroom jumped in. Then the big mushroom let out a burp and closed its mouth.

"Sis! Did the big mushroom eat all the little mushrooms?" Li Ming asked in an exaggerated tone.

"This is too cruel. 'Beans are boiled with beanstalks, and the beans weep in the pot. We are born of the same root, why must we be so cruel to each other?' Li Ming said with a pained expression."

Xu Jiawei was speechless and said, "What are you thinking? We're just taking the little mushrooms away. The little mushrooms aren't dead."

Li Ming still didn't believe it, after all, the big mushroom had just burped.

The giant mushroom was incredibly fast; it would stomp on any monster it encountered on the way and climb over hills using both its hands and feet.

Xu Jiawei looked at the large mushroom under her buttocks with increasing satisfaction, and touched it: "How about giving you a name?"

"Aww."

Looking at the colorful mushrooms, Xu Jiawei said, "Let's call them Rainbow."

"Aww."

Seeing that the mushroom had agreed, Xu Jiawei touched its cap again.

With the rainbow, the speed increased more than tenfold. After reaching the central area, it was not even 11 p.m. Xu Jiawei saw a magnificent building in the distance.

As the three approached, Xu Jiawei observed the hall. Its overall style was very ancient, and a towering building stood in the center of the hall, which made people feel very oppressed.

A protective shield surrounds the main hall.

There were already several hundred people outside the protective shield, sitting on the ground seemingly resting. Among them was someone Xu Jiawei had seen before: Si Yunming.

Everyone watched in shock as a giant monster walked towards the protective shield, drawing their weapons in preparation. They only relaxed slightly after realizing the monster was a giant mushroom with three people sitting on it.

They arrived at their destination. Rainbow raised her hand to be level with her umbrella, and the three climbed onto her hand before being placed on the ground.

"Thank you, Rainbow." But Xu Jiawei was a little worried; the rainbow was too huge.

"Rainbow, you're too big. You probably won't be able to get into the temple. Why don't you wait for me outside?"

The rainbow looked up at the sky as if in thought, then let out a "howl," and its size shrank until it was about the size of a cat.

Xu Jiawei exclaimed in amazement, "Rainbow, you're amazing!"

"Aww."

Xu Jiawei tried to pick up Caihong, but after a while she couldn't manage it. She coughed awkwardly and pretended nothing had happened.

Xu Jiawei glanced at Zhang Yunting, then walked towards the protective shield. Rainbow followed, but tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. Xu Jiawei found it a bit funny and patted Rainbow's big head.

Xu Jiawei placed her hand on the protective shield, and soon a countdown popped up.

[Ding, the protective shield countdown is 01:07:39, please wait.]

"Little sister, the countdown isn't over yet, take a break," a mature woman who was 1.7 meters tall reminded her.

Xu Jiawei received the reminder from the mature woman and said, "Thank you."

The three of them were about to find a corner to rest, and perhaps it would be nice to say hello to Si Yunming, but there were other people with Si Yunming, including the mature woman who had just spoken up, and a middle-aged, obese man with the look of a nouveau riche. Seeing that he had his own companions, Xu Jiawei did not disturb him.

However, instead of seeking trouble, Xu Jiawei and her friends found trouble. The group surrounded the three of them with ill intentions, saying, "You'd better hand over the stuff."

The three of them were speechless upon hearing the familiar words.

The kind-hearted older woman couldn't stand it anymore. "A few trash bullying a little girl? Why don't I play with you?" The older woman stood up and took out a hammer.

"I'm warning you, I paid a hefty price to get this entry. You're only here to protect me," the nouveau riche-looking middle-aged man said arrogantly.

"Get lost, or I'll beat you up."

"How dare you speak to me like that? I'm your sugar daddy!" The middle-aged man was furious, having already seen Si Yunming make a move.

"You two penniless bastards! You're nothing without me! I'm going to dock your pay!" The middle-aged man's insults grew increasingly vulgar until the mature woman kicked him to the ground.

"If it weren't for the fact that you paid, you'd be dead by now." The mature woman said coldly and walked away.

While the two were talking, Si Yunming stepped forward to help and chopped off one of their arms with a single stroke.

With the addition of the two men, the group was quickly subdued.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have robbed you, please forgive us!" The men knelt down and begged for mercy. They really hadn't expected anyone to help them and were filled with regret.

The others watched the farce with indifference.

Xu Jiawei didn't give them a chance to admit their mistakes and killed them all.

The people around Xu Jiawei immediately became very wary of her and took a step back.

Looking at the two people who came to help, she said, "Thank you. My name is Xu Jiawei. Here are some medicines for you as a token of my gratitude."

Xu Jiawei took out the medicine and distributed more than a dozen bottles to each person.

"My name is Bai Yu. I just can't stand those disgusting guys. This is too precious, you should keep it for yourself." Bai Yu swallowed hard. Is it really okay to give such a precious medicine to yourself?
