Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Imagining the feeling of prey's blood splattering in his mouth, the black bear became increasingly excited, and its speed, which had been slowed down by the light spores, increased again. Xu Jiawei was stunned for a moment and almost had her neck broken.

What's going on? Did it get injected with chicken blood?

Does the debuff effect of Lightspore no longer work?

Xu Jiawei checked the black bear's skill panel and saw a passive skill called Excitement.

[Excitement: In a state of extreme emotional intensity, blood circulation increases, immunity to all negative status effects is granted, and personal attributes are boosted by 10%.]

Sure enough, it was this skill that caused the trouble. Due to the constant running, Xu Jiawei's originally cold body has warmed up a bit, and her numb limbs have regained their flexibility.

Whatever the skill, she's determined to have that outfit. She'll wear it down no matter what, no matter how fast she runs.

The anger in the black bear's eyes grew more and more pronounced, and its speed increased.

Xu Jiawei also sped up, and they kept circling along the snowfield. She ran away while it chased, and they trampled the snow flat. The flattened snow became very slippery, and Xu Jiawei almost slipped and fell. So she gave up running and floated in the air.

Xu Jiawei can fly, but the black bear can't. It takes one step and falls three steps, and it falls to the ground as soon as it stands up.

Xu Jiawei attacked him relentlessly. Every time the black bear tried to get up, it would slip on the snow and fall, eventually becoming breathless and too weak to stand up again.

Xu Jiawei was directly worn down to death by the Bright Spores and landed on the ground. During the short time she had been flying, her sweaty body was frozen solid by the cold wind.

Xu Jiawei was shivering from the cold and wanted to peel off her skin as soon as possible.

However, Xu Jiawei had never done skinning work before. After peeling off the skin, there were still a lot of bloody flesh scraps, accompanied by a strong smell of blood. The scene was extremely bloody and disgusting.

Xu Jiawei felt like vomiting just from smelling it. What was she going to do? She had to scrape off all the meat scraps and then air-dry them.

It's impossible to wear it now. Maybe it could be heated up, but Xiaofen isn't here. If she uses Photon Meteor, Xu Jiawei is afraid it will burn to ashes, and all her efforts will be in vain.

After thinking it over, she decided to first use the Light Purification to remove the dark attributes from the fur, and then slowly bake it dry.

For inanimate objects, the purification of light will not burn them, so it easily purified the originally black fur into white. So this really is a polar bear, only it was infected by the dark aura and turned black.

After the fur was cleaned, the bloody smell was much less noticeable; at least the stench was gone.

With trembling hands, Xu Jiawei emitted flames from her palms, carefully controlling them to burn the bits of flesh stuck to the fur to ashes without damaging the fur.

This was a delicate task, requiring burning only little by little. Xu Jiawei was freezing, her mind was about to freeze too. She could only make some hot water bottles and mushrooms to keep herself warm, but they were of little use, only ensuring that she wouldn't freeze immediately.

A complete piece of white fur appeared in Xu Jiawei's hand. Since there was no needle and thread, Xu Jiawei was very careful when skinning the fur, trying to peel off the entire piece of skin intact.

They even just dug a hole in the brown bear's back, and pulled out everything from its legs and arms, removing all the flesh and internal organs. This disgusted Xu Jiawei.

After cleaning myself, I cast several cleaning spells on myself, but I still felt a foul stench and a bloody smell on my body.

Even after cleaning it up, Xu Jiawei still needed to mentally prepare herself to wear the fur coat, because the clump of minced meat was so disgusting that it was impossible to recognize the bear at all.

Xu Jiawei also kept the fur from the polar bear's head and used it as a hat.

Xu Jiawei crawled into the fur, peeking out from under the bear's mouth. When she stood up, she looked exactly like a polar bear, except that the giant bear's fur was a bit too big for her.

She kept tripping over the fur below. The fur on the bear's belly had reached down to Xu Jiawei's knees, making it difficult for her to take a step. It was as if she was wearing a tight skirt. She could only walk by lifting the fur on its belly with her hands.

Xu Jiawei had just been frozen half to death, and even now that she was wearing a bearskin, she was still shivering from the cold. The cold seeped into her bones, and even her legs and arms felt an icy itch, followed by a burning pain.

Is this frostbite?

Xu Jiawei immediately took the healing mushroom. Afterward, the heat in her body turned into a bone-chilling cold. She touched her calves, which felt no different from ice.

Xu Jiawei immediately placed the hot water bottle mushroom inside the bear skin, pressing it tightly against her calf, and then hissed, "It's so hot."

My body is too cold to withstand the high temperature of the hot water bottle.

The hot water bottle mushroom wasn't very hot; it was just warm, but now she felt like she was being scalded. She removed the hot water bottle, and the remaining heat slowly seeped into her bones through her muscles. Combined with the insulation from the bear skin, her legs gradually regained feeling.

Xu Jiawei recovered and then found a place to sit down. She wanted to enter the cave tomorrow, not today. After all, the temperature in the cave was very low, and even wearing this bearskin would not be able to withstand the cold wind. She didn't know what was inside, or what was controlling the rainbow.

.......

The night passed quickly, and Xu Jiawei couldn't resist going into the cave entrance in the latter half of the night. There was no way she could withstand the thick black fog outside. Moreover, she had used up a lot of her light purification ability to purify the bear skin, which weakened her body's defenses and made it even more difficult to stay outside for a long time.

Upon entering the cave, the fog concentration inside was lower than outside. The reason was unclear, but within two meters of the cave entrance, Xu Jiawei's purification and pollution were balanced. However, just two meters inside, the temperature was 20 degrees lower than outside, so much so that even bear skin couldn't withstand it.

Xu Jiawei could only put hot water bottle mushrooms into her bear skin. She had to put in a total of 10 hot water bottle mushrooms to withstand the severe cold. As the sun rose, the temperature inside the cave gradually warmed up.

Sunlight streamed through the cave entrance and fell on Xu Jiawei. She slowly opened her eyes and then stood up, her body stiff.

She had to go find Rainbow, but she didn't know how Rainbow was doing. What had stopped her? Were Red Earthworm and Little Pink also controlled?

What exactly is going on? Is there anything they can't solve?
