Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The barrier has disappeared, so now these demonic creatures are coming one by one, drawn by the scent. However, Xu Jiawei is currently unable to move freely and has no pet to help her, leaving her in a semi-crippled state.

The mutated creatures that I used to look down on are now very difficult to deal with.

Xu Jiawei avoided being killed by the mutated creature because her defense had increased significantly. Now, any mutated creature would be a huge threat to her.

It seems that solving the pollution source cannot be rushed. If she encounters the Great Messenger again, she will have to think about how to resolve the issue.

Her health was slowly recovering, and she activated her Light Purification to its maximum, expanding her field of vision and giving her more room to react to the mutated creatures.

Even if she couldn't dodge the attacks of the mutated creatures, Xu Jiawei would try to dodge them to hone her reaction skills, treating the mutated creatures as her coaches, dodging and attacking at the same time.

Faced with the mutated creature, she tried to move her body quickly, but it felt as if she were carrying hundreds of pounds of sandbags, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead, making her movements extremely clumsy.

Xu Jiawei no longer plans to search for the source of the pollution. The battle with the mutated creatures made her realize the reality: even if she found it now, it would only be suicide.

As soon as one wave of mutated creatures was killed, another wave arrived, and her health slowly decreased.

Even with less than a fifth of my health remaining, I won't stop attacking. What's there to be afraid of? I still have three chances a day to use my invincibility skill, and each invincibility skill can restore my health, allowing me to survive for a while longer.

However, she has no medicine now, and if she gets tired, she has to find a place to rest. Fortunately, this is a dilapidated city. There are not many other things, but there are many buildings, so finding a complete building is not too difficult.

Once inside the building, the monsters will still attack, but the eroded structures are still quite sturdy, making them a good choice for defense as towers.

Now that Xu Jiawei has run out of energy and stamina potions, she can't kill monsters like before, and she needs to rest.

Sleeping in the water was still a bit strange, and she couldn't accept it psychologically, but now that she was practically a fish-woman, she was physically used to it and fell asleep quickly.

She slept very restlessly, waking up at the slightest sound. Now that there was no one to keep watch for her, only the red earthworm could spare some consciousness from the pet backpack to pay attention to the surroundings, but its field of vision was really limited.

She had to rely on herself for everything. She slept for a total of 4 hours, waking up 3 times in between. In the end, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, she was exhausted.

She was about to check the chat channel to perk herself up when a flood of messages popped up. Since she had just arrived on the new island, Xu Jiawei hadn't yet let her companions know she was safe. Her chat was already overflowing with private messages, and even the guild channel was full of concerned comments.

The last island was a beginner island, so even if Xu Jiawei didn't send any messages for half a month, no one was worried. But now that they've arrived at a new island, and there's been no news for several days, everyone is very worried, fearing that something might have happened to Xu Jiawei.

[Rain Falling: Jiawei, are you alright? Please reply when you have time; we're very worried.]

[The lucky one here: I hope my sister isn't in some kind of trouble, that's why she hasn't had time to reply to messages.]

[Rain is falling heavily: Can't you hope for something better?]

[The Lucky One Here: But the Dark God is keeping an eye on my sister, her situation is getting even more dangerous, I'm worried about her too.]

[Chicheng: Xiaoyu, Xiaoli, stop arguing. Although we haven't heard from Comrade Xiaoxu, no news is the best news. Maybe he's entered some special place where transmitting information isn't allowed.]

【...: Yes, I believe her.】

At least Xu Jiawei's profile picture was still lit up, proving that although she couldn't send messages, she was still alive.

[Ye Yezi: So even the big shots in this world have problems they can't solve. Can't we help out? We can't just sit here and wait, can we?]

[Akagi: Don't worry, we don't know which island Xiaoxu went to yet. Let's wait for her reply. We should trust her.]

Seeing her teammates trust her so much, Xu Jiawei felt somewhat gratified. After all, she would only encounter more dangers in the future, and she might not reply to messages for many days. If her teammates thought of coming to rescue her at the slightest sign of trouble, it would only increase their worries.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Don't worry everyone, I'm fine.]

[The luckiest person here: Sis, you're finally back! You scared me to death!]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Hmm, there's a little trouble. Could you provide me with some potions and food?]

Xu Jiawei decided to ask her teammates for help, since she wasn't alone and could ask them for help if anything happened.

[Akagi: Xiao Xu, what happened?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Things are a bit complicated. Anyway, I arrived at the bottom of the sea and was given the opportunity to survive underwater. Aside from some unexpected events, Rainbow didn't come along, and my backpack was lost along the way.]

[Rain is falling heavily: Is this why we can't be contacted?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Yeah, the pressure underwater was too high, so I couldn't move for the past few days.]

[Rain Falling: Okay, wait a minute, I'll go research some stress-relief equipment and give it to you in a few days.]

[Akagi: Xiao Xu, I have some cooked food here, please have some first.]

[Ye Yezi: Boss, I have some waterproof food here, I'll give it to you.]

Soon, Xu Jiawei received medicine and food from several companions, but her small space was too full to hold them all, so she had to return them. Si Yunming did not send food or medicine, but instead sent a life-saving piece of equipment.

Although it's only a one-time use item, it can be very useful in special circumstances. Si Yunming was already unlucky, and he probably opened countless boxes before getting this item. It seems like all the equipment he gets is one-time use.

Xu Jiawei accepted them all, determined to return the favor to her companions after purifying the island.

Xu Jiawei drank a bottle of energy potion and a stamina potion, and only then did she feel a little better. She walked out of the building and continued to fight against these demonic creatures. Now, there are more and more demonic creatures on this small island, and the black mist is also gathering towards the direction of the temple.

It seems they want to make the temple the center of the contamination. No wonder the god wanted to protect the temple; he probably wanted to hinder the contamination process.

However, the temple could no longer be defended, and Xu Jiawei was helpless. She didn't know why the Dark God was so obsessed with polluting the temple, or what benefit it would bring him.

If there's no benefit, why would he expend so much energy?

Perhaps by polluting the temple, he could obtain something useful to him, but with her current abilities, she couldn't protect the temple and could only watch helplessly.

With the help of the potion, Xu Jiawei practiced even more diligently. She wanted to eliminate the source of pollution as soon as possible and thwart the Dark God's plan. Speed ​​was of paramount importance.

Moreover, the shadowy figure that had pulled him down earlier was nowhere to be found, and he had to expend energy dealing with the Dark God's sneak attack.
