Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Although the possibility is very low, Xu Jiawei is afraid that if the teleportation array disappears, she will be trapped here and unable to get out.

Stepping onto the teleportation array, my vision blurred for a moment, and when I opened my eyes again, my feet were already on the hard ground.

Thank goodness, this teleportation array didn't send her back into the lava.

She had escaped another life-or-death crisis, but before Xu Jiawei could even feel happy, she heard several beast roars and was surrounded by a group of demonic creatures before she could react.

Xu Jiawei then observed her surroundings and realized that she was no longer in the area ravaged by lava. The ground beneath her feet was no longer scorched earth, but a field covered with green grass. On the grass, there were many ticks jumping around, trying to jump onto Xu Jiawei's legs.

Hey, old friend, we meet again. But you've changed your skin; your whole body is bluish-gray. The pollution doesn't seem as severe as it was on the last island.

Xu Jiawei took out the insect repellent she had made and sprinkled it on herself. Then, these old friends staggered and fell to the ground.

Then, Xu Jiawei turned her attention to the mutated creatures.

It wasn't that Xu Jiawei looked down on them, but she felt that these ticks were more disgusting, so it was better to get rid of the ticks first.

The mutated creatures weren't stupid. These guys weren't just watching her clean up the ticks without attacking; they were simply stopped by Rainbow and the others.

Even Little Grey, the unhatched chick, couldn't resist pecking at it a few times, but its strength was pitifully weak, unable to even tickle these mutated creatures.

Even these mutated creatures didn't take it seriously, regarding it as nothing more than dust.

Enraged, Little Grey pecked even harder, and before its feathers had fully grown in, it flapped its wings and flew away, scaring Xu Jiawei so much that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. It was only a few days old and it dared to fight against an enemy dozens of levels higher than itself.

It can't even fly steadily, yet it can fly after only a few days of being born. No, it should be said that it dares to seek death after only a few days of being born.

These mutated creatures could kill it with a sneeze; this is a weakling with single-digit stats.

The support mushroom was extremely worried, carefully casting a shield for the little bird. The little bird, completely unaware, excitedly pecked at the demonized creature's eyes.

Xu Jiawei thought for a moment. The experience gained by the pets could be used to subsidize her. Rainbow, Pink, and Red Earthworm were having a hard time leveling up. They hadn't leveled up in so long. She decided to let Little Grey kill them and let Little Grey kill them to level up, thus giving her experience.

However, it's a bit of a stretch to expect a bird with single-digit strength to defeat a demonized creature.

Let's leave it to fate. Even if we manage to kill one, we should at least reach level 20.

Let's first defeat these monsters until they are unable to fight back.

Xu Jiawei punched the mutated creature in the head, knocking it unconscious. This time, she didn't use any magic skills, but relied purely on her physical strength. After what happened in the lava trap, Xu Jiawei realized that strong physical skills were more important. If she were skilled in physical skills, she might have been able to climb up on her own and avoid the danger.

However, similarly, she won't receive a reward without experiencing danger. As the saying goes, fortune may be a blessing in disguise, and misfortune may lurk within fortune.

Perhaps once her physical skills improve, the Dark God will no longer use this method to deal with her. In other words, the more well-rounded she is, the fewer ways the Dark God will have to deal with her, essentially forcing her to improve.

She used her staff as a real spear to attack the monsters. Surprisingly, using only physical skills, she found that the mutated creatures, which were not difficult to deal with before, were now surprisingly difficult to handle.

Xu Jiawei almost capsized several times, but thanks to the protection of Mushroom and Rainbow, she was not seriously injured. Even when she was hit, she didn't have any marks.

She silently made up her mind that she needed to train her physical skills properly. Once Xu Jiawei was exhausted from fighting, she began to release the Light Spores, intending to get rid of these demonic creatures.

She uses the Light Spore skill not because she doesn't use other skills, but because this skill is easier to calculate damage with, providing Little Grey with an opportunity to kill.

When all the mutated creatures collapsed to the ground, unable to move, Xu Jiawei looked at the struggling little bird and said, "It's up to you, Little Grey."

"Don't worry, even if we can't kill him today, there will always be another chance." He then added.

Although there is a chance, the creatures here are all at level dozens, so there is absolutely no chance for Little Grey to level up.

Seeing the bright, sparkling eyes in Little Grey's eyes, Xu Jiawei instantly made up her mind. At worst, she would feed Little Grey experience potions to help it grow until it could finish off enemies.

She didn't believe she couldn't bring one more person along with four.

Little Grey frantically pecked at the motionless mutated creature, but after pecking for a long time, it couldn't even break the creature's skin. At this time, the monster's health was down to 10 points, but it couldn't even break through the defense, let alone deal 10 points of damage, not even 1 point of damage.

Xu Jiawei could only deal with the other mutated creatures, leaving only one for Little Grey to peck at.

Little Grey was getting more and more anxious as he saw fewer and fewer living creatures around. He figured that soon even the one under his mouth would be gone.

But how does it manage to handle such a large size with its small frame?

In its panic, it let out a cry, and then its eyes turned grayish-black. A wisp of black energy flew out from its body and invaded the demonized creature's wound. Before Xu Jiawei could react, the black energy had already surrounded the demonized creature.

Xu Jiawei was stunned for a moment, then looked very surprised. Was this a hidden skill?

Unexpectedly, Little Grey also learned the Dark Skill. However, Si Yunming said that this skill has a profound impact on the mind and can even aggravate the mental pollution. Little Grey is only a bird that has been born for less than two days. How can it withstand the backlash of pollution? Xu Jiawei was very worried.

They wanted to step forward and interrupt, but it was too late, because the demonized creature was already dead, and a cloud of black mist flew up from the demonized creature and drifted toward Little Grey.

"Little Grey! Get out of the way!" Xu Jiawei shouted, but Little Grey did not react at all, as if all its energy was focused on killing this demonic creature.

The black mist returned to Little Grey's body, and Little Grey lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

She immediately picked up Little Grey and frowned as she looked at it. Little Grey's body was shrouded in black mist, which Xu Jiawei could not dispel even with her light purification.

No matter how Xu Jiawei called, Little Grey did not respond. If it weren't for the rise and fall of its chest, she would have thought the bird was dead. Although it was temporarily unharmed, her guilt was not diminished at all.

The emotional bird chief entrusted her with his only offspring, but the bird fell into a coma less than two days later.

Xu Jiawei immediately opened its panel to see what was going on. After signing the contract, this was the simplest way to check the status. After reading it, she breathed a sigh of relief.
