Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Si Yunming's teachings enlightened Xiao Huihui, and it was not something that could be done in a short time.

So when they started practicing, Little Grey was a little confused at first. Although Little Grey was a smart bird, it had not yet reached a level that was a notch above other pets.

It was just a little smarter than the little octopus, and its performance was only that it remembered Si Yunming's words faster than the little octopus.

"We can learn it slowly later," Si Yunming said again.

Xu Jiawei nodded. Now that they had tested Little Grey's skills, they should try to solve the source of the pollution.

Xu Jiawei deduced from this instant-kill skill that the enemy must be very tough, so tough that the two of them couldn't break through and would be worn down by the enemy.

But how tough can it be? It couldn't even beat her Light Sacrifice. Could it be a god-level skill?

There's only one possibility left: with a god-level skill, she can counter both the red earthworm and the pink one. If it's a god-level skill with a special mechanism, it's normal that she can't beat it.

However, what exactly it is, we'll only know once we get there. Xu Jiawei thought about her tactics and set off immediately. There might be a trap set by the Dark God, so she had to be prepared for both possibilities.

While discussing with Si Yunming, Xu Jiawei gave directions, with Little Grey acting as a perfect mount.

"Next, I'll act as bait. The Dark God shouldn't target you too much, so this is our chance," Xu Jiawei said.

Although the Dark God won't target Si Yunming, he won't let him have it too easy either. If Si Yunming develops too quickly, he will also be a threat to him.

Therefore, keeping Si Yunming alive should be the order given by the Dark God.

Previously, Si Yunming was able to kill the Great God Envoy even though he was below level 70. This was partly because the Great God Envoy was hesitant and dared not disobey the God's orders.

If it's truly a desperate fight to the death, it will most likely result in mutual destruction, with both of them dying there.

Si Yunming slightly raised his eyes, wondering where Xu Jiawei got the conclusion that the Dark God wouldn't kill him.

"How did you come to this conclusion?" Si Yunming was really curious, so he asked.

"It's a long story, and it all started when we entered the Temple of Destiny... In short, it was a guess I got from that precognitive dream," Xu Jiawei explained.

"So, you guessed based on the reaction of the Dark God after he ate me..." This was truly a hellish joke. Si Yunming's feelings were complicated upon learning of his death. It was the first time someone had spoiled his death, and the feeling was truly strange.

Moreover, he was eaten by the Dark God, a strange way to die. Si Yunming didn't feel scared or uneasy about it. On the contrary, he was a little worried about Xu Jiawei. It would be hard for her not to have psychological trauma after seeing such a scene.

After all, she witnessed their deaths firsthand, and in such gruesome ways. How would she feel?

"Don't worry, I won't die, and neither will Li Ming and the others. Dreams are always the opposite of reality. Now that we know the future, this is our chance to change things. We won't lose." Si Yunming's voice was very gentle.

Xu Jiawei paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, we won't lose."

Xu Jiawei felt a warmth in her heart. Indeed, she had been traumatized by that vision of the future, and her mood had been quite low recently. She hadn't dared to tell her friends about their deaths.

Xu Jiawei didn't tell them the specific content of her dream, because she was afraid they wouldn't be able to accept it and would live in fear. Unexpectedly, Si Yunming noticed her emotions first.

Xu Jiawei's heart couldn't help but quicken a little. She couldn't help but feel a bit of affection for Si Yunming. He was handsome, had a great physique, and a good personality.

But now, there is still a mountain weighing on them. No matter what the future holds, they are partners who can be relied upon, and companions moving towards a common goal.

Everything was focused on defeating the Dark God, so these small feelings of goodwill could only be kept buried deep in my heart.

The two exchanged a glance, suppressed their emotions, became serious, and continued to discuss tactics.

"I have rainbow mushrooms and support mushrooms here, so I don't need to worry about my safety. The most dangerous one is you. Although it is said that the Dark God will not kill you, this is just a guess. What if the Dark God changes his mind, or guesses wrong..." Xu Jiawei frowned.

"Don't worry about my safety. I obtained a demigod-level defensive equipment on the last island. I can defend myself if I encounter danger."

Si Yunming took out something that looked like a mirror. Unfortunately, he was too unlucky. He only got this one piece of equipment from the semi-colored treasure chest on the last island, and it was a one-time use item.

With his luck, he rarely gets non-one-time use equipment from treasure chests of any quality.

He basically used it once and then it was gone, so when he returned, he was still penniless, never having anything left, and the harder he tried, the more heartbroken he became.

What others get from opening one chest is equivalent to what he gets from opening 10 chests. Fortunately, there were no treasure chests this time, making this Si Yunming's richest disaster ever.

His excellent wilderness survival skills allowed him to thrive on the island, where he also had the most abundant food of any natural disaster.

Now his backpack is full of food, giving him a sense of security. He no longer wants to open chests; the biggest reward from opening chests is the wooden planks obtained by dismantling them.

Xu Jiawei once knew this feeling very well; it wasn't pleasant to be eating raw mushrooms every day.

However, there were also advantages. Her leveling up so quickly was all thanks to bad luck. Every time she opened a chest, it contained a monster, which provided her with experience to level up and earned her achievement rewards, allowing her to accumulate her first fortune.

Si Yunming also improved his strength to this level through such battles, and his strength once surpassed Xu Jiawei's, which made her feel a sense of crisis and work even harder.

Of course, his strength was partly due to his talent; his talent was well-suited for combat, while Xu Jiawei's talent was only suited for survival. These attack skills were all developed by her own.

After agreeing on the tactics, Little Grey will accompany Si Yunming, while Xu Jiawei will draw fire, and Si Yunming will launch surprise attacks while protecting Little Grey's safety.

Xu Jiawei felt a pang of emotion. As a mage, she had ended up as a meat shield. Was this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality?

So be it, she's a tank. All those survival skills of hers are for absorbing damage, aren't they?

When she first arrived in the survival world, she was malnourished and physically weak. In just a few months, she became a human shield because she was so afraid of dying that she maxed out all her survival skills.
