Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Soon, two hours later, Si Yunming sent another message saying that he had met Rainbow. Now that Rainbow had picked up the person, she went back to her own business.

This teleportation spell was giving her a huge headache. She even started to wonder if she had a very low affinity for spatial attributes, which was why it was so difficult for her to succeed. But then she thought that even with Mo Feng's talent, it would take him three months, so why was she in such a hurry?

Xu Jiawei reflected that she had been in a hurry ever since she came to the survival game. The urgency to survive and the pressure from the Dark God forced her to keep moving forward, not daring to relax in the slightest. Perhaps she needed to rest.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiawei stopped what she was doing, closed her eyes, and relaxed her brows that were furrowed with fatigue. However, it was impossible to rest well here, so Xu Jiawei only closed her eyes to rest for a while.

As evening approached, Rainbow led Si Yunming to the cave that Xu Jiawei had carved out. After not seeing him for several days, Si Yunming was covered in battle scars, and his clothes were tattered. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know where this beggar came from, but his face was still dazzling.

Xu Jiawei opened her eyes and smiled, "Long time no see."

Si Yunming nodded and said, "Long time no see."

It was said to be a long time, but it was actually only a little over half a month, equivalent to a high school holiday. However, in this dangerous territory, it felt like an eternity.

Si Yunming didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "May I take a look at that corrupted pet?"

Xu Jiawei nodded and said, "Of course." Wasn't this exactly what she was waiting for Si Yunming to do?

Si Yunming took the sleeping bird, then frowned and placed his finger on the top of the bird's head. A wisp of black energy flew from the top of the bird's head to Si Yunming's fingertip, then turned blue-black and was absorbed by Si Yunming.

"Fortunately, it wasn't too serious. I've already taken care of it. In the future, try to keep it away from pollution, as its body can't digest it," Si Yunming said.

Xu Jiawei was surprised that Si Yunming solved the problem so easily, while she had spent a long time purifying it without any effect.

She suspected that this was related to the fact that Little Grey was her pet, because it was of the dark attribute. To it, the dark attribute was not considered a polluting attribute. Under the rule that it could not cause harm, the dark energy in Little Grey's body was treated as its own attribute, so it could not be purified.

"I understand." Xu Jiawei nodded. After Si Yunming absorbed the dark energy from Little Grey's body, its claws twitched first, followed by its wings, and finally the whole bird stood up unsteadily.

Seemingly trying to understand the current situation, it was quite startled when it saw a huge black energy source.

Anxiously, it flew behind Xu Jiawei's collar and hid, stealing glances at Si Yunming.

Although this big guy is similar to itself in attributes, there are still some differences. What kind of monster is this? Little Grey wondered to itself.

"Little Grey, don't use the Dark skill carelessly anymore, and don't absorb pollution. I can't purify your body." Xu Jiawei knew that Little Grey could understand, so she deliberately raised her voice.

Little Grey lowered its head in remorse, seemingly reflecting on its actions. When it absorbed the energy of the dark feedback, it realized that it could not fully absorb so much dark energy and might even lose its mind. However, by the time it realized this, it was too late and could only put itself into a deep sleep to forcibly cut off the control of the pollution.

Little Grey fluttered its wings and chirped, as if responding or making a promise.

After it finished making its promise, it turned its gaze to Si Yunming. The dark energy in this person's body was so powerful that it was not controlled by the Dark God. How did it do that? If it could learn it, would it no longer need to worry about that skill?

Little Grey's idea is good, but with its current strength, it will be very difficult for it to break free from the control of the Dark God and forge its own path.

Soon it got dark, and Si Yunming had no choice but to squeeze into the narrow, man-made "cave" with Xu Jiawei.

Si Yunming observed the temporary dwelling. Although it was called a cave, it was more like a hole dug in a rock and wasn't very effective. However, with Xu Jiawei beside him, the light purification enveloped him, so even though the pollution concentration here was very high, it wouldn't have a significant impact on him.

Si Yunming and Xu Jiawei took this opportunity to exchange information, and Si Yunming recounted his experiences.

However, after Si Yunming came along, the nights became very lively, with demonic creatures frequently visiting the cave, just like the night she was bitten by a tick for the first time. Before long, demonic creatures came knocking on her door.

Xu Jiawei was suspicious. There were no ticks, and Si Yunming had checked himself and applied the medicine powder every day. It was impossible for him to attract ticks. What was going on?

Could it be that Si Yunming's unlucky constitution is to blame?

It doesn't matter. There's no reason to refuse experience that's been delivered to my door.

However, Xu Jiawei still entrusted the finishing blow to Xiao Huihui and ordered that Xiao Huihui be forbidden from using the dark skill. Even if he couldn't finish the blow, he was not allowed to use that skill.

Little Grey nodded seriously, then used a pecking attack to clear out the mutated creatures. After clearing out a wave of mutated creatures, the clan leader, who was originally inside Rainbow's belly, flew out.

He looked Little Grey up and down, then asked, "Child, are you ready for the destiny of becoming a strongman?"

Little Grey tilted its head, then looked at Xu Jiawei, and asked in its mind, "Master, who is this crazy old man? Is he out of his mind?"

Xu Jiawei's lips twitched. She was already used to these divine messengers being a bit childish, and she thought it was normal. She didn't expect Little Grey to point out the problem that Xu Jiawei had overlooked.

The clan chief froze for a moment, then coughed twice and continued, "Ahem, I am your ancestor. Is this how you speak to your ancestor?"

Little Grey looked at Xu Jiawei again, his face full of questions. Master, is there really nothing wrong with this bird's brain? Could it be getting dementia?

Xu Jiawei was surprised that Little Grey could mention something like Alzheimer's, so she said regretfully, "Unfortunately, it is indeed your ancestor."

When Little Grey heard this, it felt like the sky was falling. Would it become like that too? No way!

Little Grey was still feeling sad, and the clan leader was almost laughing in exasperation. Even if he didn't let it follow the path of the sentimental bird, this kid had forgotten its roots far too much. The clan leader took another deep breath, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Isn't this what I wanted to see? This little guy will definitely not follow the path of the sentimental bird."

"You brat, do you still want to level up?" The clan leader's tone changed, from a wise sage to a foul-mouthed old man.

Upon hearing this, Little Grey's eyes widened immediately. It wanted to become as strong as Rainbow and the others because it was too weak.

With two "chirps," the two birds began to communicate. Xu Jiawei couldn't understand what they were saying, but she saw the chieftain take something out of his chest, something shiny, and hand it to Little Grey. After that, the chieftain continued to chirp, as if giving instructions.
