Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

However, once they witness the power of the Dark God, they will become more vigilant without Commander Zhang's reminder, as these newcomers still have no concept of a true god.

Commander Zhang understood, so he only gave a reminder. After all, life and death are preordained and wealth is determined by fate. The bloody death rate had already shown them how dangerous this place was, but they still didn't care, always thinking that they were special and different from those who had died.

Everyone only has one life. Those who died had the same thoughts as them. Everyone who has survived to this day has some tricks up their sleeve, but sometimes being too confident can lead to death.

Many new players believe that the veteran players were simply at the forefront of the initial wave, thus gaining an early advantage. They think that if the veteran players had arrived first, they would have been stronger than them.

After Commander Zhang finished giving his instructions, the veteran players led the way into the new pollution center. This time, without Mushroom God leading the way, these veteran players finally experienced the wickedness of human nature.

The Dark God used all sorts of disgusting traps, whether they were terrain traps or illusion traps; in short, there was nothing the player couldn't do.

Fortunately, Grace developed a potion specifically for hallucinations, which can give players a certain resistance to hallucinations. In other words, it can make people realize that it is a hallucination, but it cannot completely solve the problem. It is just like Xu Jiawei before, who can realize that it is a hallucination, but will still feel fear.

After many more players died, these players finally witnessed the terror of the Dark God. The traps alone shocked the new players, and they no longer dared to underestimate him.

Those usually arrogant veteran players were now all dejected, looking like wilted eggplants. They were almost in tears at the sight of this scene, and they all turned into greenhorns, having never seen anything like it before.

Xu Jiawei walked forward in silence, because she hadn't seen such a scene in a long time; the Dark God was becoming more and more sinister.

It's like poop, disgusting, and you can't get rid of it.

After overcoming countless hardships, the group finally arrived at the center of the contamination. This time, the difficulty was more than a hundred times greater than before. The players had never experienced being disgusted by the Dark God before, but after experiencing it once, everyone felt as if they had eaten shit.

Upon arriving at the center of the contamination, the first thing that catches the eye is a dense crowd of priests. A rough count suggests there are at least several hundred of them, surrounding and protecting the small temple. It seems that to defeat the Dark God, one must first get past these priests.

Moreover, among the hundreds of priests, there are three great divine messengers. Although their aura is not strong and they should be ranked relatively low, they are still great divine messengers.

It can cause considerable trouble for players.

[Ding! Players have arrived at the Dark Temple. The Dark God is gathering power to revive. Players 2, please stop him in time. Countdown: 12:00]

No wonder there are so many priests here. It turns out that the Dark God has accumulated enough power to resurrect. He was interrupted once by the Mushroom God before, but I didn't expect him to have enough energy again in such a short time. Wasn't it said that it would take one or two years?

This was no joke, so Xu Jiawei immediately asked the system, which replied.

[Ding! The energy is enough to resurrect half of the Dark God. After resurrection, he will be at level 1. If not stopped, he will be upgraded back to god level within three months.]

No wonder he was only level 1 after being resurrected. But that's still terrifying. He can level up to god level in less than three months. During these three months, he will definitely hide himself and not let anyone find him.

Xu Jiawei immediately exchanged glances with Commander Zhang and Mo Feng. Commander Zhang immediately said, "Priests, we'll hold them off. The Dark God is your responsibility. You must take care of him as soon as possible."

Commander Zhang made up his mind. Although the players were still struggling to cope with so many priests, there was no other way, was there?

Since everyone knows that there is only a guaranteed reward for dealing with the priest, the nobles definitely don't want to waste their time here.

However, many players showed displeasure because they also wanted high rewards. Moreover, there were fewer people attacking the Dark God this time, making it easier to obtain higher rewards. Only a fool would fight the priests outside.

However, the system had anticipated that things would develop this way.

[Ding! This event is entirely based on contribution points. Whether you kill the Dark God or a priest, the system will distribute contribution points using the fairest calculation method.]

This statement from the system was entirely intended to reassure players and make them feel at ease dealing with the priest. In other words, even if a player tries to deal with the Dark God without contributing much, their contribution points will be very low. Conversely, if a player is skilled at killing the priest, their contribution points will be very high.

The scoundrel couldn't get ahead on either side, so he gave up on the idea of ​​dealing with the Dark God and focused on dealing with these priests.

Among the priests, one of them slightly raised his head, revealing a strange smile. As he looked up, he showed his face.

Lin Wenshi and the other man immediately felt a chill run down their spines. It was him, Lin Huajing, who had caught up with them.

No, if they stay here, they will definitely be killed by Lin Huajing. They must leave. When Commander Zhang gave the order, Lin Wenshi immediately changed his voice and said, "They also need to deal with the Dark God."

A few of his underlings echoed him from behind. These were Lin Wenshi's last remaining followers; the others were either dead or had run away to join larger guilds.

Lin Wenshi expressed extreme disgust for these snobs and even issued a kill order to hunt down these traitors. Of course, many people ridiculed this, saying that it was just a job change, but they made such a big fuss. People were working for you, not risking their lives for you.

Moreover, these people have been working like cattle for Lin Wenshi for so long, and the debt of gratitude has long been repaid. Now he is putting on a show of chasing and killing them and not letting them leave, which is making a mess of things.

There's nothing wrong with these workers changing jobs. They've already shown enough kindness by staying with people who were robbed and left penniless by Xu Jiawei for so long.

Commander Zhang frowned. He hadn't expected any troublemakers to step forward. Could this person be a spy from somewhere?

Seeing the suspicious looks on everyone's faces, they all suspected that this was a spy sent by the God of Darkness.

"Sorry, we need to check if you are a demonized human. Please cooperate with the investigation." They were surrounded by people on both sides. After all, the system had said that whether you attacked the Dark God or a priest, the rewards would not be much different, and even the contributions would be distributed normally.

Lin Wenshi's choice of the more dangerous Dark God clone is highly suspicious. They have enough evidence to suspect that Lin Wenshi simply wants to incite conflict between players.
