Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei also heard Si Yunming's voice. She looked up and saw only a pale head. She immediately lowered her head again.

When Ren Tou noticed Xu Jiawei looking at him, he smiled so broadly that the corners of his mouth stretched into a wide grin.

Si Yunming realized something was wrong and immediately wanted to check on Xu Jiawei to see what was wrong with her eyes.

Suddenly, the Heart of Destiny emitted a dazzling light, so bright that Si Yunming squinted and raised his hand to shield his eyes. After the light dissipated, Xu Jiawei's eyes returned to normal, but the blinding light made her involuntarily close them again.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that the white head in front of her had disappeared, as had the pale white hand that had been resting on her shoulder.

Xu Jiawei looked up and saw Si Yunming's worried eyes. She immediately replied, "I'm fine."

The distortion in front of me has also weakened considerably.

Opening my eyes to a distorted illusion filled with human faces is nothing short of mental pollution.

And then there were those half-dead human voices coming from who-knows-where, making Xu Jiawei really wonder if she had arrived in hell.

"Weren't you attacked by hallucinations?" Xu Jiawei saw Si Yunming come to her side and move forward with her.

Si Yunming shook his head. "It's probably because I have the dark attribute, which makes me resistant to illusions, and this illusion isn't targeting me." After saying that, he looked at Xu Jiawei.

The meaning is clear: this illusion is specifically targeting her.

"Heh, the Dark God is really despicable. Ordinary illusions can't affect me anymore, but now he's causing mental pollution," Xu Jiawei cursed.

Si Yunming asked, "What did you see?" If Xu Jiawei were to enter another hallucination while they were chatting, he would immediately notice, and he would have to keep talking even if there was nothing to say.

"I saw a horror movie set. A big white face blocked my way, a big white hand was on my shoulder, and all around me were distorted human faces."

Xu Jiawei's explanation dispelled all the horror atmosphere, and Si Yunming nodded: "It was indeed quite mentally polluting."

The two chatted casually, while Xu Jiawei pressed the Heart of Destiny tightly against her body. Just now, the Heart of Destiny emitted a white light, rescuing her from that illusion.

I never imagined the Heart of Destiny had this function; it was a lifesaver.

The two continued forward, and as time passed, the face that had disappeared reappeared, but the pale head was gone, along with the bubbling sound emanating from the throat. That sound made her very uncomfortable, and Xu Jiawei felt numb all over whenever she thought about it.

The hallucination probably hasn't reached that level yet, so the head hasn't appeared.

But the distorted environment in front of her was already making her very uncomfortable. The distorted scene was like a distorted screen on a television, which made her feel nauseous.

In the end, Si Yunming grabbed Xu Jiawei's arm and immediately mobilized his dark energy to envelop both of them.

Xu Jiawei turned her head and saw that Si Yunming's eyes had turned completely black for some reason, and blood was flowing from his eyes. His face was as pale as paper.

Xu Jiawei sighed inappropriately, saying that even as a ghost, Si Yunming was still more handsome than other ghosts.

Similarly, in Si Yunming's eyes, Xu Jiawei's eyes had turned black again, and blood was flowing from her seven orifices, making her look like a ghost.

"It's all an illusion. Let's not let go of each other," Si Yunming said.

Xu Jiawei nodded, and the two continued forward. With Si Yunming's help, although the dark atmosphere made Xu Jiawei feel somewhat oppressed, the degree of distortion of the illusions decreased, and even many of the faces floating in front of her disappeared.

Soon the two reached the end, which was empty except for a photograph hanging directly in front of them. Under the distortion of the illusion, the photograph was also distorted, making it look somewhat frightening.

Xu Jiawei always felt that the woman in the photo was staring at her, and even her expression was changing, but upon closer inspection, the woman in the photo did not change at all.

This is an illusion, so the end is not real. Perhaps the entrance is in this photo. Xu Jiawei stared at the photo, and the more she looked, the more her scalp tingled. The woman in the huge photo had an exaggerated and stiff smile, and she didn't look like a human.

The illusion was distorted and constantly changing. Xu Jiawei always felt that the woman's expression would change, and her eyes seemed to be glued to the photograph. Xu Jiawei was unable to move.

The distortion around her intensified, and Xu Jiawei saw a double image. The woman appeared as two figures in her eyes, one bright and the other as dark as a photographic negative, with only her eyes and facial features showing some light.

This change happened right before her eyes, and the impact was so powerful that even though she had seen horror movies before, they were nothing compared to what was happening right before her eyes.

Xu Jiawei could clearly hear her heart pounding, and she couldn't even turn her head. That unsettling bubbling sound reappeared, and the distortion around her became even more severe, like a scrambled disc.

As Xu Jiawei expected, the woman's smile suddenly turned into an angry expression, and she lowered her head slightly. In the blink of an eye, the photo returned to its original state.

Xu Jiawei wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but the bubbling sounds around her were getting louder and louder, and the woman's angry expression returned, even appearing right in front of her.

Unbeknownst to Xu Jiawei, the darkness and pollution were slowly eroding her body. As the pollution deepened, the surrounding environment became increasingly distorted.

Xu Jiawei froze. The woman in the photo was staring at her fiercely, and she couldn't even think straight.

Calm down, calm down. I wonder how Si Yunming is doing, and whether he will also encounter this situation.

However, she did not feel any warmth from being held by someone.

She tried to channel the energy within her body, attempting to use her light magic, but the flow of magic within her was stagnant. Undeterred, amidst the terror of the woman in the photograph, Xu Jiawei concentrated her energy, failing once, failing twice...

Finally, thanks to Xu Jiawei's efforts, the Photon Meteor was successfully released on the 19th time. The skill spread wildly in all directions, and she suddenly felt that her body could move again.

She immediately turned her head and saw that Si Yunming, who should have been holding her hand, had disappeared at some point. Instead, the hand that was on her arm had become a pale hand with blood-red nails.

The owner of the hand covered her face with her long hair. As if she noticed Xu Jiawei looking at her, she slowly turned her head, and a pale face appeared in her field of vision.
