Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Digging up graves is a rather unethical act.

Xu Jiawei was very conflicted. After struggling for a long time, she finally decided to continue digging. She was just digging a hole, not digging up a grave.

Moreover, you can't just call every mound of earth a grave. You can't scare yourself unnecessarily. Xu Jiawei pretended she didn't know anything and just thought it was mining.

Although her powerful intuition always makes her first instincts accurate, she cannot admit to digging up someone's grave.

This time, Xu Jiawei changed direction and started digging. Although she wouldn't admit it was a grave mound, her body betrayed her and she dug a hole. However, digging took a lot of time, and by the time her shovel hit the rocks, it was already afternoon.

She tapped the stone, and the sound was different from that of a normal mountain, indicating that it was hollow underneath. She knocked the stone down hard, and it fell with a dull thud.

Judging from the echo, Xu Jiawei realized that the place wasn't very high and she could jump down directly.

If it weren't for this structure, would it really be a cemetery?

Xu Jiawei was a little scared. This was a magical world, and her biggest worry was that the tomb owner wasn't completely dead. Wasn't the God of Agriculture a prime example? In the dark and sunless temple, only a wisp of his soul remained.

Xu Jiawei shone her flashlight down, but couldn't see anything clearly; it seemed the flashlight's beam couldn't penetrate the darkness.

She tried using levitation, sticking one foot into the opening. Sure enough, the pressure was much greater here, making it impossible to fly. Perhaps she wouldn't be able to come back after going down.

She thought for a moment, realizing she still had some basic spatial skills. If something unexpected happened after she went down, she could use the long-distance teleportation that Mo Feng had taught her to leave directly.

She tried it, and the skill still worked.

With the escape plan resolved, she jumped down without hesitation. As soon as she landed on the ground, before she could even react, the surrounding walls began to shake violently.

After landing, she realized that the walls and floor were black and did not reflect light, so she hadn't been able to see anything with the flashlight.

The space wasn't large, but it was very empty, like a cage.

Had she fallen into a trap? The surrounding walls began to shrink, seemingly trying to crush her into a meat patty. Without hesitation, she constructed a portal.

The trap was triggered very quickly, and Xu Jiawei wasn't sure if she could teleport away before it hit her.

If you are being squeezed, even if the portal is opened after the golden body is triggered, you will not be able to move at all and will be unable to enter the portal.

Even if she uses spatial displacement, she can only do planar displacement right now and hasn't tried displacement based on elevation differences. She doesn't know if it will work. If she accidentally moves herself into a rock, she'll be completely trapped inside.

However, in the emergency, Xu Jiawei performed exceptionally well. She was even calmer than she had imagined, and every step she took was perfect.

Before the wall could collapse, the portal was already set up. She immediately flew into the portal and returned to the outside of the mound.

Something's not right. Did she dig in the wrong spot?

Xu Jiawei prepared to widen the passage a bit to see how it went. She followed the stone bricks and widened the passage to the west by 20 meters.

Because the brick she smashed was located about 20 meters to the west of a wall.

If this was a trap, then there might be a new space on the other side of the wall. But after Xu Jiawei dug 20 meters, she found that where there should have been stones, there was only soil left.

In other words, there is no space to the west, and the height of this space is less than four meters, so it is unlikely that there is any difference in elevation.

Something's not right. Xu Jiawei continued digging along the edge until she had dug out the entire boundary of the space. She discovered that the space of this graveyard was only the size of the place she jumped into, and there was no other space at all.

Are there other traps or mechanisms below?

It seems she has to jump down and take a look, but what's troubling her now is that even if she jumps down, she won't have any time to explore. When the trap is activated, she must immediately construct a teleportation array.

She frowned, thinking of a solution, and soon came up with an idea: to make the rainbow bigger to support the wall and buy her time.

Rainbow has lost a lot of weight. She used to be a plump mushroom, but now she's "tall and thin". Even if Rainbow gets bigger and blocks the space with her head, Hsu Chia-Wei below will still have room to move.

She called Rainbow, who had been keeping watch outside, in. Rainbow arrived when she was halfway through digging the hole and had been patrolling outside.

After telling Rainbow about the plan, Xu Jiawei began to put it into action.

At this moment, the trap below had been restored to its original state, and she jumped down with Rainbow.

As soon as she landed on the ground, the walls began to shake again, and the rainbow grew larger, holding the walls in place. She immediately seized the opportunity to explore.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but it seemed like the walls were shrinking even faster this time.

She groped around, but there were no mechanisms on the walls, and she couldn't tell if there was any space, because her method of judgment had failed.

While the rainbow can still hold on, why not check the ground? What if the space is underground, like this burial mound? What if this burial mound has several layers?

Xu Jiawei pounded the ground rapidly. Because the sound of the shaking wall was so loud, she couldn't distinguish the sound by hitting the ground, so she had to resort to this violent method. When she hit a certain floor tile, she found that the tile was shaking violently.

Found it! Just as Xu Jiawei was about to pry up the floor tiles, she heard Rainbow convey the message that she was about to collapse.

Without hesitation, Xu Jiawei opened the portal. The moment the portal was completed, the rainbow shrank, and the two of them instantly passed through the passage.

Upon reaching the outside of the mound, Xu Jiawei didn't linger for a moment before jumping back in with Rainbow.

As expected, this was not Xu Jiawei's imagination; the wall's contraction speed had indeed increased.

Xu Jiawei approached the shaking floor tile, took out her weapon from behind her back, and pried it up. The moment Xu Jiawei took out her weapon, the wall seemed to stop shaking for a moment, and then it seemed to lose its strength and stopped shaking.

After Xu Jiawei pried open the floor tiles, a small passage appeared before her. She glanced inside, then took out a stone from the rainbow's belly space and threw it in.

Why is there a stone inside Rainbow's belly? It's because it was obtained from rewards given by some poor players.

With a thud, judging from the speed at which the stone fell, it seemed to have only fallen a dozen meters. This time, Xu Jiawei became even more vigilant, fearing that there might be another trap below. If there was a trap below that restricted movement, and the space above was also closed off, it would be even more difficult for her to construct an escape portal.

So she took a rope out of Rainbow's belly and had Rainbow wait on it. If there was a trap below that would prevent her from moving, Rainbow could pull her up.
