Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The connection between them is two-way; the rainbow can influence her, and she can influence the rainbow.

She vaguely sensed the energy support from the rainbow, the little pink worm, and the red earthworm; however, for this river, this energy was simply a drop in the ocean.

Her pollution even spread to the rainbows and the others through this channel.

The accumulation of dark energy also affected her mental state, making her unconsciously want to give up.

Stop it. Anyway, the system is to blame for things turning out this way. Once she really becomes a dark creature, she will definitely get her revenge.

Perhaps the Dark God and the system are in cahoots; they're just putting on an act to trick players. It deliberately lured itself here to get itself killed.

Influenced by the dark aura, Xu Jiawei's thoughts became increasingly negative and gloomy. She knew she couldn't go on like this and had to save herself.

So she immediately used Photon Meteor, now unleashing the Light skill, which has an indescribable sense of obscurity, requiring all her strength to unleash it even once.

The photon meteor flew toward the tree branch, like a last hope, soaring into the sky.

The flames ignited the branches, causing the entire branch to tremble violently. Then, the branches twisted and twitched rapidly, and several branches entangled in flames fell down, plunging directly into the water. With a "plop," the flames went out, extinguishing Xu Jiawei's only hope as well.

Even when attacked, these branches do not retaliate, but instead return to their tops.

Xu Jiawei's mind raced, and she quickly figured everything out. Based on her observations, the vines were all acting alone and would never gang up on each other.

Why would she be targeted and attacked by hundreds of vines when there was only a 10% chance? It was all a trap set for her!

The idea is to trap her here and prevent her from being resurrected, as her existence has threatened the Dark God's plans, so the Dark God wants to eliminate her.

He must have anticipated that the system would have her purify the most dangerous island, so he set up an ambush here, leaving her isolated and helpless. This place is probably even more dangerous than the source of the pollution.

Everything was designed to trap her; there was no way she could escape alive.

In other words, if she wants to find the source of pollution, she will be attacked 100% of the time if she comes to the desert; there is absolutely no 10% chance of her being attacked.

The survival system doesn't specifically target any player, so this is a dead end for her, and it's possible that even the system is now blocked.

She has now been placed in a deadly predicament by the Dark God, with the system acting as a catalyst.

Perhaps there is no exit at all in this place.

Seemingly realizing that her purpose had been exposed, the fog in the river grew thicker and thicker, and Xu Jiawei even hallucinated the sinister laughter of the Dark God.

Whatever.

Her mind had been deeply affected; her sanity had almost completely disappeared. She had no desire to struggle anymore; her mind was filled with vengeful murderous intent and despair.

[Ding, the system has connected to the player's signal. We apologize, but due to a system error, we failed to detect the trap targeting the player. The player has been forced into an extremely dangerous environment. To compensate for this error, the player will be granted 36 hours of immunity to dark attributes, and the reward for purifying the pollution source will be doubled. (Phew, made it in time. The Dark God is too shameless, setting such a treacherous trap for you.)]

Hearing the system's voice, Xu Jiawei remained dejected and said, "Whatever, I can't find a way out anyway, what's the use of 36 hours?"

[Ding! Oh no, is the system too late? Player, please stand up! The system will find a way out for you! You're still young, don't give up!]

This is the only top-tier player left; it can't die here. Even the system's electronic voice has changed.

Xu Jiawei was urged to stand up and slowly walked forward amidst the system's constant urging.

[Ding! Player, please speed up. The system has used up a lot of energy to contact you. Attribute protection lasts for a maximum of 36 hours.]

Xu Jiawei was torn between two conflicting thoughts. One side told her to give up, saying that the Dark God was specifically targeting her and wouldn't leave her a way out. The other side said that even the system hadn't given up on her, so how could she give up on herself?

Xu Jiawei wanted to try again, but no matter what she did, she couldn't control the dark thoughts in her mind.

My body seemed to be under control, and it was difficult to move.

Her light attribute was suppressed in a small corner, and her body seemed to have been invaded by darkness, so even the purification of light was ineffective.

It seemed as if he was completely covered in dust, turning into a walking corpse.

[Ding! Player, please quicken your pace. There are still 400km to go to the destination. At the current speed, it will take 96 hours to reach the destination.]

"System, you're so annoying," Xu Jiawei said dejectedly.

As time passed, the dark aura stopped invading. Xu Jiawei's light attribute tried to fight back, but it was very slow. However, there was nothing she could do. Relying on the counterattack of the light attribute, she became a little faster.

My spirits lifted; what if I could actually get out? I had to give it a try.

But when she tried to run, her legs felt like they were made of lead, and she couldn't run at all; it seemed that her limbs were still beyond her control.

Twelve hours later, Xu Jiawei was finally able to control her limbs. She tried to run, and the light attribute finally stood up to the dark attribute again, making her body feel extremely uncomfortable.

But in order to get out of there as soon as possible, she could only endure the discomfort and speed up her run, and the system stopped urging her.

She still had two bottles of emergency medicine in her backpack, but after running for a day and a half, two bottles of medicine were definitely not enough. She could only try her best to keep going until she could no longer run, and then she would drink the medicine.

Finally, after another 3 hours, her light purification effect was restored, and her speed of clearing pollution also increased. Just 2 hours later, the pollution in Xu Jiawei's body was completely cleared.

Her previously confused mind cleared up, followed by a wave of fear. It was terrifying; she truly hadn't expected that the dark attribute could have such a profound impact on a person's mind.

She clearly wanted to live, and had struggled to survive until now, becoming so powerful. How could she have thought of giving up just now? Even all sorts of dark thoughts popped into her mind. She thought becoming a dark creature wouldn't be bad, and she even wanted to take revenge on the system. If she wanted revenge, she should have gone after the God of Darkness. Why did she think of taking revenge on the system? At most, she would just complain a couple of times.

My previous condition was really strange.

As she ran, Xu Jiawei asked, "System, is the pollution of the mind by dark energy really that severe?"

[Ding! Thank goodness, you've finally recovered. Dark energy doesn't have such a strong effect on mental pollution; it's just that this river is special, specifically targeting mental pollution. (The Dark God really went all out to deal with you.)]

Upon seeing the sentence in parentheses in the system, Xu Jiawei's lips twitched. How much hatred did she incur to be targeted by the Dark God like this? She hadn't really done anything to the Dark God; she had only disrupted a few of his plans. Why was he being so petty?

No wonder it's still crawling in the dark underground. It's so petty. Given its difficult nature, most of its subordinates must have run away by now, which is why it hasn't come out for tens of thousands of years.

Xu Jiawei mentally ranted and raved.
