Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Although there are some normal people among the nobility, they are ultimately a minority, so don't have too high hopes.

Commander Zhang felt that the future was bleak, but now was not the time to despair. He immediately sent a message to his subordinates, telling them to pay attention to these nobles. Of course, this was sent through the system chat channel, and the nobles were unaware of it, still plotting how to rip off the players.

This time, Mushroom God led the way again, clearing the path ahead. Thanks to Mushroom God's intimidation, they did not encounter any traps along the way, only some low-level demonic creatures, which they killed with a single skill from each of them.

The clan leader stood on Xu Jiawei's shoulder, looking around at the surrounding environment with great resentment. The white temple, which originally symbolized purity, was now stained black by dark energy. These guys not only invaded the temple, but also made it look like this. Their crimes are unforgivable!

It was completely different from the original appearance of the temple.

After being modified by the Dark God, the original path disappeared, and the temple was now a new temple. The group had no choice but to change their strategy and search for a new path.

The Mushroom God frowned as well. That Dark God had actually built a maze inside. He hated mazes the most. He frowned and said, "Ugh, so annoying. I'm too lazy to find the way. I'll leave the task of finding the way to you."

These paths are ambiguous, and even if the Mushroom God were to find them, it would take him a lot of effort. It's better to let the players find them, since there are at least some dark-attribute characters in the team, making it easier for them to find the way.

After Mushroom God finished speaking, Si Yunming closed his eyes and set off following his instincts. Xu Jiawei quickly said, "Keep up!"

Seeing that it was the top player on the leaderboard who had spoken, everyone followed behind Si Yunming. After walking for half an hour, Si Yunming turned left and right and finally stopped in front of a wall. He then stepped inside, and several players in front of him immediately followed him into the wall.

However, with a "bang," they slammed into the wall. Unconvinced, they rubbed their sore foreheads and reached out to touch the wall, but it was still there.

"Get out of the way!" Mushroom God snorted coldly, then punched the wall, which shattered like glass, revealing a dark teleportation tunnel.

The group exchanged glances, none daring to be the first to step in. Xu Jiawei, however, felt no fear and was the first to enter the teleportation tunnel.

Mushroom God glanced at the crowd behind him and stepped inside. Sure enough, they were a bunch of useless people, not even a fraction as good as his successor. He hadn't made a mistake in choosing them.

His spores, after he fell into slumber, were awakened by his successor. Choosing Xu Jiawei as his successor was the best decision he ever made.

In fact, Mushroom God has a "motherly" filter when it comes to Xu Jiawei. Even if Xu Jiawei isn't the first to go in, he will find a reason to praise her, such as how cautious his heir is. In short, he doesn't like anyone else, but only Xu Jiawei is good in his eyes.

Besides liking mushrooms, the Mushroom God only has eyes for Xu Jiawei, and considers all other humans to be trash.

Seeing that the Mushroom God had also gone in, everyone hurriedly followed, afraid that the Mushroom God would dislike them. In fact, they had already been disliked.

Soon, Xu Jiawei arrived at a temple made of black crystals. Apart from the statue of the Dark God, there was only a pool of black water, with the statue standing in the very center of the pool.

The Mushroom God frowned and said, "There's something strange about this pool. Don't go near it."

Xu Jiawei nodded. The pool was still emitting black smoke, which looked very dangerous. She must be crazy to go near the pool. Soon, everyone entered through the teleportation channel. After the last person entered, the teleportation channel disappeared completely.

The crowd panicked for a moment, then regained their composure. That was normal. It would be abnormal if the Dark God hadn't set up some kind of trap. At least they could relax now. The door was closed, after all. As long as they killed the Dark God, they could still get out.

After everyone entered the temple, the ground began to shake, and the dark water began to churn and boil.

"Everyone be careful, prepare your defenses!" Commander Zhang immediately organized the players with defensive talents to activate their skills. As everyone stood ready, the statue in the center of the pool began to tremble and countless cracks appeared. Beneath those cracks, a dense aura of death flowed.

The water in the pool boiled even more violently, and the surging bubbles condensed into painful human faces, howling mournfully as if trying to escape the pool of black water.

This feeling made Xu Jiawei very uncomfortable, or rather, very distressed. She didn't know if it was the person's loud wailing or the dark aura that affected her.

"Ah, I recognize that face!" one player exclaimed.

All eyes turned to him. He swallowed hard, seemingly terrified: "I remember this person. I teamed up with him before. I heard he was later killed by a demonic creature. How did he end up here? Why does he look so pained?!"

Are all the souls here wronged? Dying is bad enough, why does the Dark God not even spare the souls of players?

"Oh! That's my sister! My sister clearly committed suicide, so why is she here? Damn you, God of Darkness! Release my sister!"

"Ah, there are also players who have been corrupted inside, I saw them." A player with the dark attribute said tremblingly.

Is this the fate of someone who is completely corrupted by evil? What if even death cannot offer relief?

Suddenly, Xu Jiawei also saw several familiar faces. She saw Lin Chengye and his scumbag wife. They had both joined the Dark God's camp. Unexpectedly, even after death, they could not escape being used.

They wailed in agony, casting venomous glances at Xu Jiawei.

Suddenly, Xu Jiawei felt a chill on the back of her neck, and the hairs on her body stood on end. She immediately ducked and dodged the attack.

"Xu Jiawei, I didn't expect you to have improved so much over such a long time! I've finally waited for you!"

A familiar female voice came from behind her. Xu Jiawei was stunned for a moment and immediately turned around. She hadn't seen this person for a long time and almost didn't recognize her.

This appears to be Li Jiaojiao, Lin Jiaqi's best friend, who was killed by herself and escaped as a spirit. However, her appearance has changed so much that Xu Jiawei thought she had mistaken her for someone else.

Seeing Xu Jiawei's confused and questioning look, Li Jiaojiao felt an urge to skin Xu Jiawei alive.

She was brutally murdered by her, and she was constantly thinking about taking revenge on Xu Jiawei and Lin Jiaqi. But this murderer had completely forgotten about her.
