Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei immediately released 10 Photon Meteors, hoping to send the fox away in one fell swoop.

The fox unleashed its Wind Release technique once more, but the shield was shattered in an instant, and the Photon Meteor struck the fox, turning it into ashes.

Xu Jiawei pondered. Sure enough, these demonized creatures were much stronger than the monsters controlled by insects. They were almost as strong as priests. In fact, these animals had higher physical attributes than humans, making them even harder to kill.

Moreover, the priests of the past only existed at the source of the calamity and in the traps. Now these demonic creatures are active outside, making them even more difficult to defend against. Unlike the last calamity, this one is clearly more dangerous at night.

As Xu Jiawei continued forward, she encountered many different kinds of creatures blocking her path. Each one wanted to kill her, and when they couldn't defeat them, they tried to escape. If they couldn't escape, they would simply self-destruct.

They can use all sorts of skills, meaning that even after being corrupted, these skills haven't become ineffective, posing a significant obstacle for Xu Jiawei, because she doesn't know what the original skills of these corrupted creatures were, and even among the same race, there can be differences in skills.

So you have to test things out first. If you don't test things out, you might encounter a damage reflection skill, which would be bad luck. Xu Jiawei happened to encounter a monster that reflected damage. It was a black turtle that was as tall as a person. You couldn't attack its shell. You could only damage it when it stretched out its head.

The key was that the old turtle could retract its neck incredibly quickly. Xu Jiawei could only use the control of parasitic spores to let them burrow into the turtle's shell and control it, while simultaneously using the Light Spores to finish off the old turtle.

After dealing with the old tortoise, Xu Jiawei scratched her calf, which itched. She thought it was from the grass and didn't pay much attention to it. But when her calf became increasingly itchy and scratching didn't help, she started to take it seriously.

She rolled up her trouser legs and saw that her legs were covered with a dense array of red dots and small bumps, which gave her goosebumps. When did these little red dots appear? Did they just appear?

Xu Jiawei immediately focused her light purification on her legs. Suddenly, the itching on her legs turned into pain. The bumps began to move, trying to crawl into Xu Jiawei's skin. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, they broke through Xu Jiawei's skin and crawled out.

When Xu Jiawei first used the Brightness Purification, her scalp felt like it was about to explode. She initially thought it was from insect bites, but it turned out that insects had crawled inside.

My legs were immediately covered with countless red blood holes, but they healed completely in less than two seconds. My recovery ability is truly remarkable.

Upon seeing this, she immediately found two ropes and tied them around her trouser legs to prevent the small black insects from crawling inside again.

However, this greatly reduced the amount of time Xu Jiawei could spend outside.

After all, she had used all her Light Purification to cleanse the little bugs on her legs. She had to shorten her time outside and hurry back to purify herself of the pollution. She hadn't expected to find such a thing in the wild, and the consumption was even greater than when fighting demonized creatures.

Xu Jiawei observed where the insects came from, but couldn't find them while she was looking at her feet. It wasn't until she lifted the leaf and found the back of the leaf covered with dense black insects that she wanted to leave the ground and fly away immediately.

Xu Jiawei did the same, using levitation directly and not daring to walk, to avoid any insects escaping. She didn't want any more insects to crawl into her body.

After fighting the monster for another half hour, Xu Jiawei headed back. She had only been out for less than an hour when she could no longer hold on.

She was at her wit's end. The system really didn't treat her like a human being. After her first battle ended in defeat, Xu Jiawei wanted to get back faster and reduce her own energy consumption, so she rode on top of Rainbow's head to hurry back. Fortunately, Rainbow's defense was very strong, and these little insects couldn't penetrate it at all.

She encountered eight or nine waves of monsters in just one hour, and even her mana was starting to run out.

Once back in her warm cave, Xu Jiawei visibly relaxed. Home was the safest place, even though it was a place she had just taken over. Not only was the black energy content low, but there were also no small insects in the cave, making it very safe.

She was already quite polluted, but it wasn't urgent. Xu Jiawei's calculation of four hours took into full account of safety and unforeseen circumstances. Based on her purification speed, she could withstand it for six hours, or even eight hours in an extreme case.

However, things were not quite as Xu Jiawei had expected. She had used up a lot of her purification power to get rid of the CD player bug, and it took her less than two hours to return.

However, the pollution wasn't too severe this time. With the operation of the Bright Purification system, it should be completely removed in about two hours. Xu Jiawei didn't take the opportunity to be busy. In order to speed up the removal of the pollution, Xu Jiawei asked Xiaofen to burn a sprig of mugwort and then started sending messages in the group.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: I'm back.]

[Akagi: So fast? Did something happen?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Hmm, the consumption was greater than expected. The grass was teeming with tiny insects that burrowed into our bodies; removing them took a lot of energy.]

[The lucky one is here: Are they those little bugs from the last natural disaster?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: No, the insects are black, usually about half the size of a little fingernail. They swell after sucking blood and burrow into the body, forming red bumps that are difficult to remove even with light purification, and are even hard to kill. Please be careful.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: But the pollution isn't as bad where you are, so you probably don't have anything this troublesome.]

[Rain Falling: Holy crap, this is ridiculous! But we don't have the Light attribute, so even if we encounter a half-finished bug, we'll probably suffer a lot. Everyone should take precautions.]

[Akagi: @...How's it going on your end? Did you go out?]

[...I'm still looking for a cave. There are too many mutated creatures outside; it's hard for one person to hold out.]

It seems there are still some unlucky guys in the group, after all, Si Yunming's luck is no joke.

While purifying herself, Xu Jiawei closed her eyes and prepared to rest for a while. After all, she wanted to save the medicine as much as possible. Since she had nothing to do, she might as well rest. After all, she was under a lot of mental stress outside, and even if her body wasn't tired, her mind was.

Xu Jiawei asked Xiao Fen to keep watch at night and then closed her eyes. An hour later, Xu Jiawei immediately opened her eyes, stood up, and assumed a defensive posture.

She heard the ground shaking, accompanied by the roars of animals.

As they got closer to Xu Jiawei, she immediately realized something was wrong. These monsters were about to attack her; they hadn't gone after her, but they had come to her of their own accord.
