Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Good heavens, it's gone from wilderness survival to tower defense! Xu Jiawei didn't know what to say. There was something like this waiting for her at night.

How did these monsters know where she was?

Suddenly, she remembered that she had bled a lot when she was expelling insects, and the blood had fallen to the ground. Could these monsters have found her through the blood? But her wounds had already healed, so there was absolutely no way she could have left any trace of blood.

But then he remembered that this was still a magical world, and suddenly felt that whatever happened was reasonable, so he prepared to focus on dealing with these attacking creatures.

Little Pink covered the walls with flames and launched an attack on the monsters that had burrowed into the cave, while Red Earthworm darted through the monster horde, attacking frantically. Rainbow, like a mountain, blocked the monsters' path.

Xu Jiawei took the opportunity to release the Light Spores. It wasn't that she didn't want to use the Photon Meteor, but she wanted to know how these creatures found her, so she wanted to leave her body intact and examine it.

The damage from the Light Spores is quite high now, and they wiped out this wave of monsters in less than ten minutes.

She immediately began examining the monsters' corpses. Thanks to the effects of the light spores, the dark attributes on these monster corpses had disappeared. She carefully examined the eyes and mouths of these monster corpses but couldn't see anything unusual.

Then, a black dot jumped onto Xu Jiawei's arm from the monster's body. The black head began to burrow into Xu Jiawei's body. Xu Jiawei felt a chill instantly and immediately used Light Purification to drive the insect away. The insect shakily pulled out its head and returned to the monster's corpse.

Xu Jiawei immediately examined the monster's fur and found that many black insects were crawling along the monster's skin, occasionally burrowing their heads into the monster's skin, sucking a few mouthfuls of blood, and then crawling out again.

They moved so fast under the fur that Xu Jiawei couldn't get a good look at them. She immediately took a step back and then thought of a creature on Earth called a tick, which feeds on the blood of animals and is most common on pets such as cats and dogs. Therefore, pets that go outside often should be dewormed.

Xu Jiawei felt a chill run down her spine. She hadn't been able to tell what these insects burrowing into her body were before, but now she immediately realized they were ticks. Could it be that these creatures sensed her location by using blood-sucking ticks?

After these ticks absorbed her blood, they went on to absorb the blood of these mutated creatures. Their blood mingled, and that's probably how these mutated creatures found her.

Xu Jiawei felt that she was in big trouble. After all, she didn't know how many ticks had sucked her blood, and these ticks were very difficult to kill. Even the purification of light could not kill them. When Xu Jiawei tried to use other methods, the ticks had already disappeared and could not be found.

Upon discovering what it was, Xu Jiawei immediately took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance from the monster's corpse.

"Little Pink, burn them." Xu Jiawei wanted to see what method to use to get rid of these ticks. There was no other way; these things were too disgusting. Xu Jiawei wished she could cut off her own leg and replace it with a new one. She felt that her leg was dirty.

Little Pink immediately surrounded the monster's corpse with pink flames until it was burned to ashes. The ticks would occasionally twitch their limbs, which terrified Xu Jiawei. Weren't these things afraid of fire?

However, considering that this thing isn't very lethal, aside from being a bit disgusting, it seems quite reasonable that it has a stronger survival ability.

So Xu Jiawei tried releasing a photon meteor. After the pale golden flames enveloped the ticks, they became completely still and turned to ashes.

Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the photon meteor was still effective. However, these ticks were truly disgusting and terrifying. Xu Jiawei used the Light Purification on herself from head to toe again before she was finally finished.

It even released photon meteors several times into the entire cave.

Thoroughly remove any remaining ticks from the burrow.

After Xu Jiawei finished burning the food, the second wave of monsters attacked quickly. Xu Jiawei had to move the battle line to the outer edge of the cave. She still needed to stay in the deepest part of the cave, and how could she deal with the corpses there?

The narrow cave gave Xu Jiawei an advantage, since she didn't need to defend against attacks from all directions. She only needed to defend one path. With just a few photon meteors hitting her, these monsters had nowhere to hide and could only be burned to ashes.

One problem after another arose. Xu Jiawei spent the entire night fighting these creatures, and the air was filled with the stench of burning corpses, so she had to wear a mask.

The next morning arrived quickly, and Xu Jiawei discovered that the reptiles on the monsters' bodies immediately crawled down the animals' limbs and burrowed into the ground. Xu Jiawei took the opportunity to catch a few and put them in a glass bottle.

After clearing out this wave of monsters, no more monsters came; the ticks probably all went to rest.

As for Xu Jiawei, although she was exhausted, she still felt numb in her heart, so she decided not to rest and started making a potion. She wanted to make an insect repellent so that these insects would avoid her.

As for Rainbow and Little Brother, Xu Jiawei sent them to find a new cave. Didn't you see that all these insects have burrowed into the ground of the cave? This cave is no longer usable.

Furthermore, if we make insect repellent, we can share some with our friends. On Earth, these ticks are all poisonous, but in this magical world, these ticks can't possibly be weaker than those on Earth, right?

Considering how fast ticks move, almost like fleas, I wonder if this thing is a combination of ticks and fleas.

Would using poison be effective?

Xu Jiawei prepared for the experiment, using her talent to synthesize whatever she needed. She then used the ticks she caught to conduct the experiment, and finally she was able to develop an insecticide powder that was harmless to humans.

As long as it is sprayed on the insects, the insects will die in less than three seconds. Moreover, all the materials Xu Jiawei uses are mushrooms that she has researched and developed herself, so she can produce and sell them herself.

So she decided to create a few working mushrooms to make medicinal powder, and she planned to sprinkle the entire island with the powder. Once the powder was sprinkled, it would last for a week, and any insects that came over during that week would die instantly.

She'll eventually wipe this creature out of existence.

The method for making this medicinal powder is very simple. Xu Jiawei only taught the working mushrooms twice, and they learned it and started making it.

Xu Jiawei gathered a large amount of raw materials and had the mushrooms refine them.

As soon as she finished a batch of products, Xu Jiawei distributed them to her friends, especially Robert, who was asking Xu Jiawei for help because she was also being sucked blood by a group of gray ticks. It was impossible to force the ticks out; she could only wait until they had sucked enough blood and crawled out before catching them.

All I can say is that my body is riddled with holes, and I'm suffering terribly. Even if I manage to force the bugs out, it consumes half of my mana and I can only force out one bug, which is a huge loss.

After Robert got the powder, he wanted to ask Xu Jiawei if she could take it orally, because she really couldn't take it anymore!
