Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[Sixth Floor Mission: Defeat the elite monster. This is the final battle level. Good luck! (Health display is now enabled to increase your chances of survival.)]

A magical beast, roughly the size of a normal human, stood in the center of the empty hall, its health bar displaying 10 points.

Everyone gasped. Before they could react, the monster teleported in front of Xu Jiawei. So fast!

"The traitors of the survival system, die! The world will ultimately belong to us." The monster's spikes pierced towards Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei drew her longsword to block the attack, but the sword was instantly covered in cracks. Xu Jiawei's expression changed, and she immediately retreated. Si Yunming rushed to her rescue, slashing his greatsword at the monster. The monster heard the commotion behind it and dodged the attack.

This monster can actually talk, and it seems to have reason. Aren't demonic creatures supposed to be irrational?

Xu Jiawei wanted to use parasitic spores to deplete some of her health, but the system assistance disappeared!

Xu Jiawei shouted, "Try your skills and see if you can still use the system's assistance."

Everyone's expression changed, only to find that the survival system seemed to have disappeared. What exactly happened?

"Foolish lackey, this is my space. Even if the survival system has locked me here, it cannot affect my domain."

Xu Jiawei's expression darkened. She awkwardly activated the parasitic spores, which was very slow. Before she could finish activating it, the monster teleported in front of her again.

Si Yunming blocked the monster and slashed at it with his sword. However, he failed to use his talent. Si Yunming took a deep breath and used his talent by activating the principle. Soon, a deeper crack appeared on the monster's wound.

The monster let out a miserable cry, and Xu Jiawei's parasitic spores were finally completed. Mushrooms grew on the monster's wounds, and its speed slowed down considerably.

The monster's eyes darted around, and it flashed behind Liu Jinwei. Before Liu Jinwei could react, he was stabbed in the back. Just as the monster was about to finish him off, Xu Jiawei stopped it. In the end, the long sword could not withstand the pressure and shattered.

Xu Jiawei took out her bow and arrow and shot an arrow at the monster, but the monster waved its hand and broke the arrow in two.

At this point, normal attacks are completely ineffective.

The rainbow grew larger and tightly gripped the monster. However, with a slight spin, the monster severed the rainbow's hands. The rainbow then stomped on the monster's head and released the little mushrooms. The little mushrooms fearlessly rushed forward, but some were smashed into iron discs by the monster, while others were torn in half, a truly pitiful sight.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Jiawei used a spirit-binding spell on the highly venomous snake mushroom. It takes about ten seconds to use the spirit-binding spell herself. Soon, a large group of mushrooms, fearless of death, tried to crawl into the monster's mouth. Although none of them succeeded, it kept the monster busy dealing with them.

The monster also discovered that Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming were difficult to deal with—one was annoying, and the other was highly injured—so it turned its attention to other people. The second person to be injured was Zhang Yunting, who was stabbed by the monster while trying to save Li Ming.

Warcraft has become much smarter now, basically attacking once and then running away, leaving Si Yunming and Xu Jiawei in a passive position.

Xu Jiawei tossed the teleportation token to Li Ming and said, "You guys get out of here right now."

Xu Jiawei didn't know if people from different servers could teleport together, but she could only try.

"I'll stay, you go," Si Yunming said coldly.

Knowing that staying there would only be a hindrance, the group helped Liu Jinwei up, and then, hand in hand, prepared to teleport away together.

"Sis, be careful. I'll wait for you when I get back." Li Ming looked at Xu Jiawei with some concern.

In the end, only Si Yunming and Xu Jiawei remained, and in this situation, the only option was to use parasitic spores. However, the parasitic spores would inevitably have a significant impact on Si Yunming.

"Don't worry about me, you continue." After saying that, Si Yunming took out a bottle of pure white potion and drank it. The mushrooms on his body disappeared instantly.

Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief and continued to use the parasitic spores. The speed at which she rubbed the parasitic spores increased, from more than ten seconds at the beginning to less than ten seconds now. With Si Yunming's talent, the health of the elite monsters steadily decreased.

The elite magical beast gradually became enraged and unleashed a wide-range attack, causing the entire hall to tremble. Xu Jiawei told Si Yunming, "Hide behind me!" After saying that, she shielded Si Yunming behind her. Soon, black spheres were smashed in all directions. Xu Jiawei only grazed them slightly before activating her golden body. If Si Yunming hadn't been protected by Xu Jiawei, he would probably be dead.

If the elite monster uses it again, both of them will die.

Si Yunming once again wrapped the black substance around the greatsword. Compared to when he slashed at the stone statue last time, he seemed a bit rusty. The greatsword struck the monster, causing even greater damage.

Taking advantage of the time she was in her golden form, Xu Jiawei stopped dodging and chased after the monster, releasing parasitic spores. She even forcibly pried open the monster's mouth, grabbed a highly venomous snake mushroom, and stuffed it into its mouth. Since the mushroom couldn't crawl in, she would help it.

Xu Jiawei acted as a human shield, holding onto the monster tightly. No matter how the monster hit Xu Jiawei, it wouldn't let go. The monster was extremely annoyed by Xu Jiawei and couldn't shake her off.

Taking advantage of Xu Jiawei's control over the magical beast, Si Yunming seized the opportunity to strike twice, and his skill in using his talent was becoming more and more proficient.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, your Parasitic Spore proficiency has reached the "Familiar" level. Please keep up the good work!]

It seems that combat really can quickly improve a person's strength.

Now, Xu Jiawei releases a parasitic spore every five seconds and doesn't care about the mana potion consumption. She just keeps releasing skills, drinking potions, and releasing skills. At this time, the parasitic spores have stacked to a terrifying level, losing 48 health points per second, and nearly 3000 health points per minute. However, the consumption of mana potions is undoubtedly also considerable, and at the current rate of consumption, the potions are completely insufficient.

Si Yunming stopped Xu Jiawei and said, "Wait until my health drops below 20,000 before you use your skill."

After saying that, Si Yunming didn't say anything more. The amount of healing potions Si Yunming consumed was also considerable. Fortunately, he didn't consume as many potions as Xu Jiawei, and Xu Jiawei could still afford to supply them.

Fortunately, the monster didn't use that move again; it seems that move isn't something you can use casually.

Finally, thanks to Si Yunming's efforts, the monster's health dropped. When the monster only had 20,000 health left, Xu Jiawei released parasitic spores. Si Yunming retreated to the back because the effect of the purification potion had worn off, and now it was up to Xu Jiawei.

Now, Xu Jiawei has to drink a potion every time she uses a skill. After a long 10 minutes, the monster's health finally ran out, and it couldn't struggle anymore because the slowing effect of the parasitic spores was terrifying when it stacked up.

[Ding! Congratulations on defeating the extraterrestrial monster. There are currently 2 players remaining, and the experience will be split equally. You will now be directly teleported to the seventh floor. (Unexpectedly, someone has already managed to clear the sixth floor at this point.)]

[Ding! Congratulations! You are the first player on the entire server to reach level 9. You are eligible for a reward. There are three options: 1. Luck +9...]
