Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"Sister, it's almost over. I never want to come here again in my life. I'm going to have nightmares tonight," Li Ming said with a wry smile.

Xu Jiawei felt the same way. Although she had a lot of experience and the rewards should be plentiful, the place was just too oppressive. Staying here for too long would definitely cause psychological problems.

Si Yunming pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but quickened his pace considerably.

With the earplugs in her ears, Xu Jiawei had already prepared the medicine in her hand, just waiting to drink it all in one go. She had already drunk countless bottles of medicine; she would have been full long ago if it were water.

I have no idea where all that medicine went; I don't feel anything at all.

Upon reaching the heart, Si Yunming launched the first attack. The three of them and the mushroom were already working in perfect harmony, even faster than the previous two times, leaving the heart half-dead.

Xu Jiawei retreated, and Si Yunming also retreated, because if they continued fighting, they might accidentally steal the last blow. They could only let Li Ming slowly wear them down. Li Ming chopped for a full 5 minutes and finally killed the last heart. The violent tremors around them also stopped.

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Lucky Emperor" for defeating the monster's heart (3/3) and gaining 50000 experience points]

[Ding! Congratulations to player AAA Mushroom Fairy... The lucky player is here! Defeating a monster and hitting a heart will earn you 100 points. Keep up the good work!]

At this moment, Li Ming had already climbed up to the heart to retrieve the box. The instant he got the box, the surroundings began to collapse and shake, and pieces of flesh fell down like stones.

"This place is going to collapse, get out of here quickly!" Xu Jiawei had just finished speaking when the organ beneath her feet collapsed. In a moment of panic, Xu Jiawei subconsciously used a levitation technique.

This time, Xu Jiawei floated steadily in mid-air, and the levitation technique could be used.

Xu Jiawei grabbed the two people and stopped in mid-air to dodge the falling pieces of flesh. The flesh was as hard as stone, and if it hit the three of them, only death awaited them.

The surrounding area was collapsing more and more severely, and Xu Jiawei was starting to feel overwhelmed.

"Go over there!" Si Yunming shouted sharply, making Xu Jiawei jump so hard she almost threw him out.

Xu Jiawei's eyes lit up when she saw the spot Si Yunming pointed to. In a physical sense, her eyes lit up.

There was light over there! It was light from outside. Xu Jiawei was still struggling to lead the two of them; more and more pieces of flesh were falling, making it very difficult to dodge, and she inevitably got injured.

Xu Jiawei's shoulder was covered in bruises from being hit by pieces of flesh.

Si Yunming and Li Ming didn't say a word. They used their free hands to clean up the fallen pieces of flesh around them. Finally, before the collapse completely, the three of them reached the light and flew out.

The blinding light made Xu Jiawei unconsciously close her eyes. Once her eyes adjusted to the light, she was able to see her surroundings.

A huge, long, black monster lay on the ground, like a mountain range. Half of its body was still buried in the soil, motionless, but its whole body was flattened. What on earth was this thing?

Xu Jiawei landed and stood on the monster's body.

After settling in, the three first drank the medicine to heal their injuries before turning their attention to the monster.

"Sis, this is such a loss. We went through so much trouble, almost died inside, and in the end we only got a small box and 100 points." Li Ming looked at the monster with a long face and disgust.

Xu Jiawei patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Maybe this box contains something very powerful."

It was getting late. Xu Jiawei checked the time and it was already 3 p.m. The three of them decided to rest for a bit before setting off again.

The system required Xu Jiawei and her two companions to disassemble the monster, but they didn't know what they could get from it.

[Ding! Congratulations, player! You have obtained 3 Epic Leather items and 3 Epic Bones from dismantling. They have been purified. (The system divided them into three equal parts, isn't that amazing?)]

The system did a good job, so the three of them each got a share, but they didn't know what it was for.

"Where do we go next?" Xu Jiawei asked.

"Sister, I still think it's better to continue in that direction," Li Ming said firmly, frowning slightly.

The three remained in the same spot, and Li Ming pointed in the same direction as before.

Xu Jiawei trusted Li Ming's intuition and continued on their way. After passing through a dense forest, a stone cave appeared in front of the three of them.

The entrance to the stone cave was extremely dark, exuding a chilling aura that sent a shiver down Li Ming's spine.

"Three o'clock, should we go in? What do you think?" Xu Jiawei asked. This cave looked very dangerous, and there wasn't much time left, so Xu Jiawei was going to ask her teammates what they thought.

"Go in." Si Yunming only said two simple words.

Li Ming nodded in agreement, and the three of them took out their weapons and flashlights and cautiously went inside.

The ground was covered with the bones of unknown creatures, which crunched underfoot. In the silent environment, the only sound was the clatter of footsteps on the bones.

Li Ming didn't dare to breathe loudly; the atmosphere was eerie and quiet.

They walked for a long time without encountering any danger, but this made the three of them more vigilant. After all, how could there be so many bones if there was no danger?

However, even as the three reached the deepest part, there was still no danger. There were some treasure chests and gold coins scattered around, making it seem like just a treasure trove.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have discovered the pirate's hidden treasure.]

Is it really just an ordinary treasure trove?

Xu Jiawei carefully used her weapon to pry open a treasure chest. Suddenly, the chest opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and bit directly into Xu Jiawei's staff, making a "clang" sound. Fortunately, it was an epic weapon, which was very sturdy.

"Good heavens, this is too sinister!" Li Ming exclaimed.

Xu Jiawei twitched her lips. If she had used her hand to open it, her hand would be gone by now.

Upon being discovered, all the treasure chests around them opened their mouths wide and lunged at the three of them. Although the long-mouthed treasure chests were sinister, they were also very clumsy and were quickly dealt with by Xu Jiawei and her two companions.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for defeating the guardian treasure chest. You have received 200 experience points and 200 gold coins.]

[Ding, congratulations player...]

Goodness, this thing actually drops gold coins when you hit it, that's so fantastical.

After clearing the mimics, a path appeared, and the gold coins on the ground disappeared.

The further you go, the colder and darker it gets, and the bones on the ground become thicker and thicker. If you didn't know better, you might think this was some kind of tomb.

A faint light appeared ahead. Xu Jiawei walked closer and saw that it was a fluorescent mushroom that illuminated the surrounding environment.

Xu Jiawei picked up a mushroom and placed it in her hand. The faint light fell into her palm, leaving a glowing effect. So, the mushroom could glow because of the powder on its surface? Xu Jiawei then picked some mushrooms and put them away to see if she could grow them later.

The deeper they went, the more mushrooms they found. When the three of them reached the end again, a huge dragon skeleton stood in the center.
