Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

However, the Great God Envoy was completely unfazed by Xu Jiawei's provocations and did not utter a single word in rebuttal. He simply glared at Xu Jiawei with hatred.

They arrived at the portal, activated the teleportation, and before leaving, he threw out a harsh remark: "Hmph, don't be so smug! Our lord will awaken soon, let's see how long you can be so smug."

Then the voice gradually faded away, and the figure slowly disappeared.

Xu Jiawei didn't chase after him, because trying to stop him would be a waste of time. To stop a fully-powered powerful envoy, she would need to be at least level 80.

Now she could only watch helplessly as the divine messenger left.

Si Yunming didn't chase after him. He quietly watched the Great Envoy's departing figure. He knew that if they really fought, he was probably no match for this person. At most, they would perish together.

But today he discovered something unusual: his mutated dark attribute seemed to have a restraining effect on the Great God's dark attribute, just as light restrains darkness. His current attribute also had a restraining effect on darkness, or rather, his current attribute was no longer ordinary darkness.

After the great envoy left, the lake calmed down. Only an hour passed, and no other creatures attacked. It was very quiet, eerily quiet. There was still an hour and a half left. Was this place just going to be abandoned like this?

Seeing that ten minutes had passed and no other creatures had come, Xu Jiawei had no choice but to let Rainbow release her little brother to wander around the area and collect some useful herbs in advance, so that the purification could be completed using the power of the spring water.

Perhaps she could try to see if the spring water could purify the ice crystal. Xu Jiawei felt that this was unlikely, because the ice crystal had been tainted by darkness for who knows how long, and purification would not be so easy.

If it were that easy, why would the Dark God go to such great lengths to corrode the entire temple just to contaminate the ice crystal?

As for Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming, they remained on alert, fearing that the Great Divine Envoy might request help and summon several Great Divine Envoys. If things came to that, Xu Jiawei felt that she would have a hard time holding them off.

Fortunately, no creature crossed the teleportation array again until the time was up. After the time was up, the teleportation array shattered, indicating that Xu Jiawei had successfully protected the area, and the system voice came through.

This time the rewards are naturally not as generous as the last time, not only because the difficulty is lower this time, but also because the system doubled the rewards last time due to the increased difficulty.

However, this time the protection was indeed a bit too easy; it was over before she even had to exert much effort.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for solving the Advanced+ difficulty pollution source. You have received 4 Diamond Chests and 10000 Contribution Points.]

[Ding! As the first player to resolve the advanced+ difficulty pollution source, you have received 5000 contribution points. This will be announced via system broadcast.]

Excluding compensation, the apparent reward has been reduced by half—no, it should be more than half, because how could two diamond chests compare to a half-rainbow chest? Last time, she directly received a half-rainbow chest.

This harvest was not only these contribution points and treasure chests, but also the experience gained from killing the demonized creatures. Although she did not pay attention to Little Grey during the battle, she did not deliberately give Little Grey a chance to finish it off.

However, Little Grey took advantage of the chaos and stole quite a few kills from them. It has now reached level 39 and will soon be able to level up to level 40. I wonder if Little Grey will awaken any finishing skills after reaching level 40, because its finishing speed is too slow right now.

Xu Jiawei stuffed all the diamond treasure chests into Si Yunming's hands. She only needed contribution points now, and she didn't lack anything else. Si Yunming was a little confused when he received the four treasure chests, and then immediately pushed them back.

"I don't need the treasure chest. My luck stat is too low, I don't need it." After saying that, he remained unmoved no matter how Xu Jiawei tried to persuade him.

"But we solved the source of the pollution this time, and I'll feel really guilty if you don't accept it." Although Xu Jiawei's expression showed no remorse, Si Yunming hesitated when he heard her say that.

In the end, Xu Jiawei had no choice but to compromise, saying, "Then I'll open the box now. We can each take what we need, or we can split it equally if we don't need anything."

This time, Si Yunming agreed without hesitation, but Xu Jiawei couldn't understand the complex emotions in his eyes.

Xu Jiawei took out the treasure chests and opened them one by one.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained 2 Pet Experience Potions, 1 Indestructible Robe, and 1 Epic Glove from this chest...]

After opening four chests in a row, Xu Jiawei found nothing particularly impressive except for a few epic-level equipment items. Although the items were all decent, Xu Jiawei didn't have anything she particularly wanted.

"I want those indestructible clothes," Si Yunming said.

Xu Jiawei was stunned. Aren't clothes supposed to be able to recover automatically? Anyway, no matter how tattered the clothes are, they'll just make you look like a beggar. They'll cover up what needs to be covered. These clothes are pretty useless.

What Xu Jiawei didn't know was that the protective mechanisms of men's and women's combat clothing seemed to be somewhat different. If Si Yunming continued fighting like this, he would soon be completely naked.

His shirt had a large tear, but the system didn't seem to recognize it as exposure. However, he was very uncomfortable wearing drafty clothes every day.

Seeing that Si Yunming seemed unsure how to explain, Xu Jiawei stopped pressing him and said, "Alright, you can keep these equipment; I don't need them."

As for the materials, Si Yunming couldn't take them, so Xu Jiawei accepted them. After distributing the rewards, a purifying rain was slowly accumulating in the air, and it looked like the raindrops could fall at any moment.

Xu Jiawei immediately made preparations, releasing her pet beasts, Rainbow's little brother, and Emotion Bird to welcome the baptism of the rain.

Of course, all the herbs and ice crystals that hadn't yet been purified were taken out, waiting for the rain to fall.

Xu Jiawei could clearly feel that the energy of the spring water this time was not as strong as the last time, and the system even refused to let her drink from the spring water.

Unable to draw water from the spring, Xu Jiawei could only rely on the rain for sustenance.

Soon a light drizzle began to fall, and all living beings looked up at the sky. Another round of purification had begun. The wails of the demonized creatures came from afar, as if they were experiencing unbearable pain. The wails gradually weakened and eventually disappeared.

Of course, some creatures changed from painful wails to comfortable howls; these creatures were the ones that were successfully purified.

The rain fell on Xu Jiawei, purifying her recent fatigue and even making her mind clearer. She began to have some ideas about the problems she hadn't been able to figure out before.

She couldn't wait to test the teleportation skill, but she had more important things to do now, which was to take advantage of the situation. She could only stay here for three hours, and she couldn't waste the time.

The purified rainwater washed the entire island and then slowly floated into the air, transforming into a protective shield to block the invasion of dark attributes.

As for the rainbow birds, including the emotion birds, they seemed to have no other changes besides purifying their own pollution; it seemed to be just a purification of rainwater with no other effect.
