Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

She could only run while cursing, without stopping for a moment, completely driven forward by luck.

Xu Jiawei didn't believe that what awaited her was good news. With her current luck, how could there possibly be anything good ahead?

Xu Jiawei ran all the way, triggering every single trap along the way, exhausting herself to the point of near death several times. If it weren't for her quick reflexes, Rainbow's protective body, and the shield from the support mushroom, she would be nowhere to be seen now.

Xu Jiawei frowned. This wouldn't do. Without the Golden Body, everything would be too passive. She needed the Golden Body to have any hope of survival.

Xu Jiawei suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up. That's right, she wasn't without a way to recover, was she?

How did she recover last time? It was thanks to the Healing Spring. Just the drifting water vapor was enough to restore all her skills, making her feel brand new.

Now that she has the fountain of healing, what is there to be afraid of?

Xu Jiawei immediately took out a bottle of healing spring from Rainbow. As soon as she opened the bottle, the fragrant scent made her feel refreshed and invigorated. However, the skill effect did not recover. Could it be that just smelling it was not enough?

Xu Jiawei took a small sip cautiously and immediately felt her body swell up.

This feeling of expansion is simply the feeling of the body being filled with energy.

Xu Jiawei checked her panel and found that her Golden Body had indeed been restored. However, this was accompanied by a rapid decline in her life force due to the energy expansion. Once her life force dropped to 1 point, the Golden Body would immediately activate.

Xu Jiawei: ......

Sure enough, when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems. She was completely speechless. Her newly refreshed invincible body was already being used.

Xu Jiawei could only run forward while desperately absorbing energy from her body through the golden body. However, the energy, once converted into magic, could not be dissipated and could only be compressed again and again.

If muscles can't hold all the magic, can't we squeeze some more in?

With bones this hard, wouldn't it be a waste not to store more magic? And aren't skin and body hair organs? Every place in the body that can hold magic is filled with it.

Meanwhile, Xu Jiawei's magic level underwent a qualitative change; unseen by her, her magic power was rapidly increasing.

Now Xu Jiawei no longer avoids traps, because even if she dodges them, the traps will be triggered again in some magical way. In any case, with her current luck, she can't avoid them anyway, so she might as well take advantage of the time she has in her golden body and just rush through, saving the time of taking a detour.

After a series of thrilling attacks, her bad luck finally ended when she arrived at a door.

Xu Jiawei was almost in tears. How could someone be so unlucky? She never wanted to suffer again.

Finally, she escaped her bad luck and is now 100% lucky again.

The tunnel was incredibly long, ridiculously long. Xu Jiawei was wondering who had dug it for no reason when she ran further ahead, but the tunnel began to curve. Although the number of traps hadn't decreased, the curve was becoming more and more pronounced.

Later, she realized that the passage was like the texture of a snail. At first, the curve was very large, so it was impossible to tell that the passage was curved until she went deeper and deeper, at which point the curve became apparent.

Therefore, the area occupied by this underground palace may not be large, but the curved, snail-like passageway greatly amplifies the length of the underground palace.

Xu Jiawei complained, "What kind of lunatic designed this underground palace like this, and even filled the passageways with traps? It's full of malice!" But she was really unlucky, as she triggered every single trap.

There was a trap every 5 meters along the passage, and the traps were laid very neatly. Xu Jiawei ran around the whole area and discovered the pattern: the first trap was arrows, the second was a sinkhole, the third was clear oil, the fourth was a fire trap (which was linked to the third trap), the fifth was spikes, and the sixth was poison rain...

There were about 10 different traps, and they kept looping. Eventually, Xu Jiawei could dodge them without using her invincibility skill. However, due to her bad luck, the traps always caused all sorts of unexpected problems. For example, the arrows were 2 seconds slower and almost hit Xu Jiawei on the head. Or, the traps were set up backwards, almost causing her to fall.

I'm not going to say anymore; it's all just tears.

After overcoming all the traps, she finally reached the finish line, and her bad luck ended. This was good news, since she didn't know what the end would bring, so it was better to have a higher luck stat.

With great excitement, she opened the door. After going through so much hardship, what lay behind the door had to be worth the effort she had put in, and this underground palace was clearly no ordinary place.

If there's nothing there, she'll really be spitting blood.

When Xu Jiawei opened the door, she saw that the entire space was completely empty, with nothing there. Xu Jiawei couldn't believe it; she had really made a wasted trip.

Undeterred, she ventured into the space, searching everywhere. She couldn't believe that all these traps and dangers were merely for protecting the air.

She searched for two hours but found nothing. Exhausted, she squatted down in the corner. Oh well, if there's nothing, there's nothing. It's better than opening the door to find the Dark God standing inside waiting for her.

Xu Jiawei stopped worrying and stood up, leaning against the wall. However, as soon as she touched the wall, it caved in.

There really was a mechanism! Before Xu Jiawei could react, her vision blurred and she vanished into the space.

The empty space fell silent once again.

After the dizziness subsided, Xu Jiawei opened her eyes. The environment in front of her had changed. Unlike the empty room before, this place seemed to be a temple. A tall statue of a god stood on a high platform in front of her. In this temple where the sun never shone, the surroundings were illuminated by candlelight. She didn't know how long these candles had been burning, but they seemed to never go out.

By candlelight, Xu Jiawei finally saw the appearance of the temple clearly. It was very ancient and majestic. There were also many murals on the walls. Xu Jiawei immediately went closer. If there were murals, then maybe she could find out which god they were.

Xu Jiawei was not familiar with the face of this statue; perhaps it was a deity she did not know.

Looking at these murals, Xu Jiawei went from being serious at first to surprised, then shocked, and finally bewildered.

This is actually the temple of the god of fire, and the statue in front of you is that of the god of fire!

But she had seen the Vulcan before, and he didn't look like this. Could it be that the Vulcan's appearance doesn't match the real person?

Suddenly, Xu Jiawei thought of another possibility: perhaps this fire god was not the fire god she knew, but another fire god.

However, this was completely beyond Xu Jiawei's understanding. Although she was mentally prepared that there might not be only one god for a certain type of deity, this fact still made Xu Jiawei gasp. Are gods also inherited?

In any case, this fire god is definitely more ancient than the fire god Xu Jiawei knows. The mural shows that the owner of this statue does not seem to be the first fire god. He also became the fire god after comprehending the fire god's divine nature.
