Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The God of Darkness was fully prepared, waiting for them to walk right into his trap.

The two sides faced each other in silence, standing a kilometer apart. The players had also prepared their pets, potions, and equipment.

No one launched an attack. The priests were unable to leave the contaminated area, while the players mainly followed orders.

At Commander Zhang's command, the players rushed in. Those with long enough range launched attacks to disrupt the priests' attacks and provide support for the warriors charging ahead.

Xu Jiawei's encounter with the First High Priest was unexpected, yet also quite logical.

The First Divine Envoy was extremely kind, revealing a smile that could be described as gentle: "Long time no see, little mouse."

"Long time no see, I've come for revenge," Xu Jiawei said.

This person is the researcher whose conspiracy was uncovered by Xu Jiawei tens of thousands of years ago. I heard he was promoted, but I didn't expect him to be promoted to the First Divine Envoy. Researchers are indeed popular.

However, Xu Jiawei became secretly wary. This was a researcher, and he had been doing research before. Who knew what terrifying thing he had researched that made him rise to the position of the First Divine Envoy?

"Do you want to know how I rose to become the First Great Divine Envoy?" The person's voice remained gentle.

Xu Jiawei remained silent, every hair on her body on alert.

Soon, the person slightly raised their hand, and black powder drifted in the wind. Xu Jiawei immediately activated the Light Purification to its maximum. The black powder passed over Xu Jiawei and drifted towards the players behind her.

Xu Jiawei immediately shouted, "Watch out!"

However, it was too late. A dark black magic mark appeared on the faces of those players, and even their eyes turned red. Xu Jiawei immediately used Light Purification to forcibly suppress the magic mark. These players lay on the ground, clutching their heads and screaming in pain.

The magic runes were quickly suppressed, but the players were too exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

Before Xu Jiawei could finish purifying the players, new powder drifted in other directions. Some players failed to dodge and were accidentally covered in the powder, quickly losing their minds and fighting with other players. Soon, the player group descended into chaos.

Xu Jiawei was willing but powerless; she hadn't even solved the problems with the current players, let alone the others.

Grace looked at Xu Jiawei with a solemn expression: "Leave this to me. You go and deal with that divine envoy. I will develop an antidote as soon as possible."

With Grace's promise, Xu Jiawei trusted her completely and said, "Okay."

Knowing she couldn't let this guy corrupt more people, Xu Jiawei steadied herself and immediately rushed towards the Great Envoy.

It's unclear what level of strength he possesses, but whenever Xu Jiawei gets close, this guy will find an opportunity to dodge, seemingly unwilling to confront Xu Jiawei head-on.

Xu Jiawei didn't know why, but after he sprinkled out powders of various colors, which were then perfectly purified and defended by the light, Xu Jiawei understood why.

She was very restrained towards the First Divine Envoy, so she stopped testing him and directly released Little Pink and Red Earthworm to block the Divine Envoy's path.

At this moment, Grace was still frantically researching the composition of the black powder. When she saw the other colored powders, she felt like the sky was falling. She was only one person; it was impossible for her to be in two places at once to research so many powders.

Moreover, this medicine powder was developed by a great god over tens of thousands of years. How could she possibly develop it all during the battle?

However, Grace wouldn't take it lying down. She directly called over the entire Pharmacist Association to work together on the research. Many hands make light work. She was weak on her own, but with dozens or hundreds of people working together, she refused to believe they couldn't figure it out.

Xu Jiawei was playing a game of cat and mouse with the First Divine Envoy. Although the First Divine Envoy seemed afraid of her, who knew if he had any tricks up his sleeve? If the powder prevented Xu Jiawei's Light Purification from working, she would be doomed. Therefore, Xu Jiawei did not dare to push him too hard.

They could only wait for the red earthworm and the pink one to subdue the man. Finally, after Xu Jiawei forced him to the location of the red earthworm, the red earthworm quickly wrapped itself around him and tied him up.

The First Divine Envoy did not panic. Red powder flowed from his hand and landed on the red earthworm. Instantly, the red earthworm was corroded by the red powder, but the red earthworm gritted its teeth and wrapped even tighter, refusing to let go.

The First Divine Envoy let out a soft exclamation, then said, "There is a dark aura within your body."

He then immediately sprinkled the black powder on the red earthworm. It was too close for the red earthworm to dodge, and the powder was absorbed into its body.

The red earthworm's body trembled slightly, then its red body turned black. It lashed out at its vines in agony, attacking all living things around it in a frenzy.

"Red earthworm!" Xu Jiawei shouted.

But the red earthworm didn't react at all, screaming in pain. Xu Jiawei listened to the red earthworm's inner voice, but could only hear its piercing screams.

The red earthworm lost its mind, and Xu Jiawei immediately activated the Light Purification to suppress its berserk state.

But the effect was minimal, and she opened the red earthworm panel while purifying it.

[Name: Red Earthworm (Contamination, Madness)]

Species: Parasitic vine, ice

Level: 80 (Awaiting Breakthrough)

.......

(Evaluation: This pet is currently in a berserk state. Players should treat it immediately.)

The red earthworms were contaminated, probably because the ice crystal stone that wasn't completely purified had a problem. The black powder lured out the deep-seated contamination within the ice crystal stone, which is why it was so difficult to purify.

Now, Xiao Fen can only try to hold off the Great God Envoy while Xu Jiawei treats the Red Earthworm. Si Yunming noticed Xu Jiawei's problem and immediately stopped the First Great God Envoy for her.

Xu Jiawei was grateful, but even more worried: "Brother San Dian, be careful of the black powder, don't get it on you!"

Si Yunming nodded, and Xu Jiawei focused all her energy on suppressing the red earthworm until its berserk state finally subsided and it stopped attacking everywhere.

However, the contamination on its panel has not been resolved, so it seems that further treatment is needed.

The red earthworm had lost consciousness, and Xu Jiawei put it back into her pet backpack.

At this moment, Si Yunming was in grave danger as he was surrounded by two powerful envoys. Xu Jiawei immediately rushed over and attacked the first powerful envoy.

Xu Jiawei's face was grim; she hadn't expected that in just a few minutes, she would have lost one of her combatants.

Xiao Fen immediately activated her domain, trapping the person inside. Xu Jiawei entered the domain and used Photon Meteor and Light Spore.

With Little Pink's domain, the Great God Envoy can't escape now, and the distance between the two has shortened.

The First Divine Envoy let out another soft "Eh."

"You also have dark energy in your body." After saying that, she immediately activated her domain to fight against Xiao Fen, and then countless black powders directly surrounded Xu Jiawei.
