Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei nodded and placed Zhang Yunting in a safe place. It seems that Zhang Yunting is also very talented, especially after being equipped with a weapon.

The monster currently has less than 2,000 health points. It looks like we can kill it without any major incidents.

However, an unexpected incident occurred. When the monster still had 500 health points, a burly man made the first move and ambushed a very beautiful woman. This seemed to have flipped a switch, and infighting broke out among the group.

Partners who were just supporting each other have instantly become enemies, wishing they could kill each other.

It's ironic that the powerful monsters didn't kill many people; instead, most of them died at the hands of humans.

The five men stayed far away and didn't try to get involved in the final blow. A dozen minutes later, the final blow fell into the hands of an inconspicuous person, and the group of angry people wanted to kill this inconspicuous person.

[Ding! Congratulations on defeating the extraterrestrial monster. 54 players remain. Experience will be split equally. Players can choose to leave the instance or continue. (Note: Higher levels offer better rewards.)]

"Why? Isn't it supposed to be that only the last hit in the dungeon gets the reward? I was the one who landed the last hit, so why should the reward be split equally?" The person who got the last hit by sheer luck seemed to have gone mad.

[Ding, system notification: This is not a dungeon. (Keep fighting, you guys are really funny.)]

The reward was split equally, and those who fought over who would get the last blow became nothing more than clowns.

"Alright, everyone, listen to me. The system's move is probably to unite us. In that case, I'll lead the way. Anyone who fights amongst themselves will be everyone's enemy." A middle-aged man stepped forward.

"Tsk, who are you? Why should we listen to you?" A hot girl looked at the middle-aged man with arrogance and disdain.

"Of course, the capable should be in charge. I'm just making a suggestion. If you disagree, I'm free to choose again," the middle-aged man said calmly.

"Then I'll be the captain. You all have to listen to me. Do whatever I tell you to do." The hot girl glanced at the group.

"Sorry, I don't want to be controlled by anyone." Someone turned around and left, heading towards the second floor. In the end, the plan fell through.

Xu Jiawei had no interest in watching the show, so the group went up to the second floor.

As I climbed the stairs, the door to the second floor was still tightly closed. After waiting for 10 minutes, people from downstairs came up.

Xu Jiawei noticed that several seriously injured people hadn't appeared; they must have already left the instance.

The group downstairs split into two factions: one led by the middle-aged man, the other by the hot girl, and then there were the lone wolves who hadn't joined any faction.

The middle-aged man walked up to Xu Jiawei and the others and said, "Hello, my name is Liu Jinwei. Would you like to join our team?"

"No, the five of us have already teamed up," Xu Jiawei waved her hand and refused.

At that moment, the woman with the hot figure also walked over.

"Hey, my name is Li Jiaojiao. You have to join my team, or you'll regret it." The hot girl's words displeased the group, as she acted like a spoiled princess.

"I already said that the five of us have formed a team and will not join any other teams. Don't you understand?" Bai Yu's temper flared up easily, and she didn't tolerate this proud young lady at all.

Li Jiaojiao stared at Xu Jiawei, feeling like she'd seen her face somewhere before; it seemed vaguely familiar. Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, she immediately flew into a rage.

"Judging from your attire, you're obviously country bumpkins. I'm doing you a favor by inviting you to team up, so don't push your luck."

Seeing that Li Jiaojiao was going on and on, Si Yunming drew his greatsword and held it to Li Jiaojiao's neck. "Get out."

Li Jiaojiao was terrified and her face turned pale. "You just wait!" she said, and then she hurriedly left.

Si Yunming is truly a ruthless man who doesn't talk much.

The second-floor door finally opened as the last person came up.

[Ding! Congratulations to 45 players who have entered the second floor. Good luck to you all!]

The group went inside. Compared to the first floor, the second floor was much more spacious. There were no giant magical beasts, only a circle of sculptures around the perimeter. Xu Jiawei counted a total of 32 sculptures.

The door behind them slammed shut, and the surrounding statues began to tremble. Under everyone's gaze, the sculptures slowly moved their limbs, their movements gradually becoming smoother and smoother, until they finally surrounded the crowd.

[Second Tier Quest: Defeat the Stone Statue (The system has enabled health display for you, increasing your chances of survival)]

The statue's health is not high, only 1000 points.

Li Ming chopped the stone statue with his axe, but didn't even leave a white mark. Li Ming's expression changed, and he retreated.

"Sis, we can't cut this statue!"

Xu Jiawei also took out her long knife and slashed at the stone statue. The statue was undamaged, and even Si Yunming's talent was rendered ineffective.

All the players panicked until one player used the Fireball skill in the moment of crisis, and the statue burst into flames.

"It's afraid of magic, attack with magic!" someone shouted.

Xu Jiawei took out her bow and arrow and shot it at the stone statue. The towering flames engulfed the statue, and its health slowly decreased. She then shot an ice arrow, which immediately froze the statue in the flames. This alternating hot and cold caused cracks to appear on the statue, and its health dropped significantly.

Unexpectedly, the principle of thermal expansion and contraction also worked here; in less than five minutes, Xu Jiawei's stone statue shattered.

Xu Jiawei looked at the others. Si Yunming's greatsword was covered with black substance. He slashed down at the stone statue. Although the damage was not as abnormal as the percentage damage, it was still more than enough.

Bai Yu and Zhang Yunting both possess magical skills, so they can manage. Only Li Ming, whose only skill is double damage, can only use his talent to make the statue fall and get stuck while he keeps dodging.

Xu Jiawei then helped Li Ming eliminate the stone statue, and the battle on Si Yunming's side also ended.

Overall, the second level was simpler than the first. After all the statues were cleared, the door to the third level opened. Having gone through the second level, everyone was very confident, so no one chose to leave.

The third level is a maze with mirrors on all four sides. Xu Jiawei tried to attack the mirrors, but she couldn't break them no matter what she did. There were more than a dozen entrances, and Xu Jiawei asked Li Ming to choose an entrance.

Li Ming scratched his head and finally chose the rightmost entrance. Inside was a complex mirror maze. Looking up, all he could see were full-body reflections of himself and his companion. They wandered around inside for what seemed like an endless loop.

Suddenly Li Ming shouted, and Xu Jiawei looked in his direction.

"What's wrong? What's your name?" Xu Jiawei asked.

"Sis, someone touched me on my left side, but there's a mirror on my left, there's no one there!" Li Ming said in a panic, staring at the mirror on his left.

"Ah!" Bai Yu, who was at the back, also exclaimed.

"Someone is pulling my hair from behind." Bai Yu turned around and looked behind her. There was only a mirror behind her.

Xu Jiawei stepped forward to examine the mirror, but still couldn't see anything different.

Xu Jiawei turned around, but before she did, she saw her reflection in the mirror give a strange smile and slowed down her movements.

Zhang Yunting suggested, "Let's move forward back to back, with each of us looking in one direction."

The group moved forward in an awkward posture, moving even slower. Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from behind them. Li Ming, who was walking in front, saw Xu Jiawei running towards them.
