Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

She could only bear this heavy pressure and adapt to it. Where is she now? What happened to her?

Xu Jiawei was thinking in a daze. She felt excruciating pain all over her body and couldn't move at all. What was she doing just now?

Oh right, it seems she arrived at a new island, then fell into the sea, and then, it seems she was pulled down by something dark.

Where is she now? She can breathe. Is she no longer in the sea?

Is it safe here? Xu Jiawei tried to get up, but after an unknown amount of time, her fingers twitched slightly, and now she could lift her arm.

Given Xu Jiawei's physical condition, she would be unable to move under such immense pressure; simply surviving was her limit.

But she felt a warm current flowing through her body, into her limbs and bones, making her body stronger and stronger.

Xu Jiawei couldn't open her eyes and didn't know what was happening to her body. So she tried to open her inner vision under this heavy pressure, but under the pressure, she had difficulty concentrating. It took her a long time to concentrate and open her inner vision.

In an instant, the original dark environment was replaced by all sorts of light spots, but most of them were blue, which surrounded her and radiated a brilliant color.

Xu Jiawei was even more surprised when she looked at herself. Her body was also surrounded by blue light spots. No, the blue of her body was even more brilliant than the blue outside, as if it was spontaneously generated from within her body. The blue light spots slowly merged with the colorful light spots, colliding to create brilliant sparks.

It was an indescribable color, like blue or rainbow colors. This fusion energy flowed into her limbs and bones, slowly enhancing her physical abilities and allowing her to gradually adapt to this stressful environment.

While observing the changes in her body, Xu Jiawei also paid attention to the movements around her. Of course, the surrounding environment was not always calm. Occasionally, powerful energy orbs would approach, accompanied by sounds from some kind of deep-sea creature, which made Xu Jiawei tremble with fear.

But as soon as the sound appears, it turns into a roar, then a weak whimper, the light disappears, and the surrounding environment returns to calm.

She seemed to be in a safe location, protected by something.

He had already escaped from the clutches of the Dark God. All around him were blue dots of light, and there were also black dots, but they were very thin, as if they were being blocked by something.

After observing the disappearance of the energy body several times, Xu Jiawei felt relieved, knowing that it was safe here. So she focused on the changes in her body and even used her mental power to accelerate the transformation of her body by that energy.

These times always seem long. Xu Jiawei didn't know how much time had passed—a day, two days, or three days. At first, Xu Jiawei could only move her arms, but now she could move her legs as well.

Perhaps it won't be long before she regains her mobility.

Finally, one day, the blue light in her body completely disappeared, turning into a pale blue color that merged into the rainbow-colored energy points. At that moment, she felt it was time for her to stand up again, and she believed she could do it now.

She resisted the pressure, pressed her hands to the ground, and then slowly propped herself up. But as soon as she sat up, her body gave way, and she gasped for breath.

Of course, this heavy breathing was just her perception. In reality, her mouth wasn't open at all; only the cheek-like structures under her ears were flapping violently. Of course, Xu Jiawei didn't notice; she seemed to think she was breathing heavily.

After sitting up, Xu Jiawei rested for a long time before trying to stand up. Her muscles tensed up, and the bones in her legs made a piercing "crackling" sound, which made Xu Jiawei's teeth ache.

She used the strength of her legs to try to stand up. Her leg muscles trembled, as if resisting this invisible pressure, like a weightlifter enduring pressure far beyond her physical limits. Xu Jiawei was so angry that her teeth were bleeding.

She kept encouraging herself and, with her own willpower, finally stood up after 10 minutes. But as soon as she got up, Xu Jiawei was pressed down to the ground again by the heavy weight. She had no strength left.

It's okay. If you can stand up the first time, you can stand up the second time. Xu Jiawei has already figured out the trick. The second time she stood up, it took her five minutes, and she stood for a full minute before falling down again.

For an entire day, she practiced standing up, falling down and getting back up again, never being knocked down.

Finally, after standing for 10 minutes, Xu Jiawei took her first step, trembling, and then lifted her other foot. She walked successfully!

She tried to take another step with her other foot, but something tripped her up. She couldn't open her eyes, so she didn't know what had tripped her; everything was dark.

Xu Jiawei tried to pry her eyes open with her fingers, and then felt a stinging pain in her eyes. Her vision became very blurry, and she couldn't see anything. Oh no, was she going to go blind?

Gradually, her eyes adjusted to the heavy pressure, and she was able to see her surroundings clearly before she felt relieved.

I'm underwater? Am I dreaming? Or am I already dead and experiencing a hallucination before my death?

She didn't feel anything in the water. Could it be that the environment altered her body's perception?

She reached out and felt the water around her. Apart from the pain of her body being pressed down, she felt nothing else. Beneath her feet was an island that had sunk to the bottom of the sea. Why was it called an island? Because there were still traces of ruins around it. A stone tablet was engraved with the words "Hua Island".

She struggled to her feet again. This time, with her eyes open, Xu Jiawei wouldn't trip over the loose stones. After several days of practice, she finally adapted to the heavy environment and was able to walk normally.

However, she couldn't run, so she still had to be careful during the fight. As for the rainbow, Xu Jiawei sensed it and found it was quite far away from her, and above her, seemingly impossible to get down.

Since it couldn't get here, Xu Jiawei decided to let it wait up there.

Rainbow stopped struggling to dive and went with her underlings to kill the mutated creatures.

Although they no longer gain experience, Xu Jiawei hasn't reached her level cap yet, so that experience still exists. This is the only way Rainbow can help her.

It seems she won't be able to explore the island with Rainbow this time, which is a bit of a disappointment for Xu Jiawei. As for the other pets, even though they're in her pet backpack, she can't release them.

After the red earthworm stretched out a vine, it snapped inch by inch, startling it so much that it immediately retracted. Xu Jiawei was stunned. Could it be that even the red earthworm couldn't withstand such heavy pressure?

It seems she's traveling alone on this island trip, and her speed has been greatly reduced. If she encounters danger, she won't be able to escape. Therefore, she needs to pay close attention to her surroundings and avoid danger if possible. Even if she can't avoid it, she must find an opportunity to kill her with one blow.

But if even a red earthworm can't withstand the immense pressure here, then what level has her ability reached? And why can she breathe underwater? That's a big question too.
