Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Li Ming almost cried out, but Si Yunming covered his mouth with his hand. The group tried to carefully go around them, afraid of waking them up.

The higher you go up the mountain, the lower the temperature gets, and the more sleeping creatures there are, almost blocking the way. At first glance, it looks like a burial pit.

Moreover, there were more than one kind of animal; there were rabbits, mice, lions, and tigers, as if they were having a party, and then suddenly collapsed here.

The higher they went up the mountain, the stronger the wind and snow became, so intense that Xu Jiawei couldn't open her eyes.

Si Yunming tugged at Xu Jiawei's arm and pointed in a certain direction. Xu Jiawei looked in the direction Si Yunming pointed, and there was only a rabbit lying there, looking dead.

A few seconds later, Xu Jiawei thought she saw the rabbit's leg move slightly. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things. But when she looked again, it was indeed not her imagination; the rabbit's leg had moved again.

Xu Jiawei found it hard to believe. Were these creatures about to wake up?

So Xu Jiawei quickened her pace, wanting to get through these "corpses" as soon as possible.

Given her own bizarre luck, things couldn't be that simple. Xu Jiawei had a clear understanding of her own bad luck. Sure enough, a group of white-haired, red-eyed creatures in front of her all stood up, staring intently at the group, drooling.

Whether it's a lion, a tiger, a wild boar, a rat, or a bison, all the creatures have red eyes and white fur, giving one a chill at first glance.

Seeing the group of creatures surrounding them, even someone as worldly as Xu Jiawei couldn't help but feel a chill. What were these things?

The fight was about to break out. The lion in front launched the first attack. Xu Jiawei's sword could not penetrate the lion's body at all, as if it were hitting a stone. Just when Xu Jiawei checked it, it was soft like an ordinary creature, but now it was as hard as a stone.

Si Yunming slashed the lion with his greatsword, cleaving a huge gash in its body, like ice shattering, before slowly healing. Si Yunming's expression gradually turned serious; even his talent had no effect.

"Sis, brother, this creature isn't formed from ice, is it?!" Li Ming looked at the strange creature with some panic.

"I don't know if it's formed by ice. I only know that if we don't find a way, we're going to die," Xu Jiawei said calmly. It wasn't that she wanted to be calm; she had just become numb to the constant danger she encountered. Even though her luck had improved, why was she still so unlucky every time?

"Haha, sis, you're getting more and more dry humor," Li Ming replied.

Bai Yu pulled out his hammer and forced the creatures back, saying, "This is really strange. I rarely encountered monsters when I went to the island before, but I've encountered two groups in such a short time today."

The three fell silent for a moment, especially Xu Jiawei. She always encountered danger every time she went to the island, but didn't everyone else face the same thing?

Li Ming also fell into deep thought. Every time he and his sister went to the island, they were on the verge of death. But the only time he went to the island alone, he didn't encounter any danger. He thought it was just good luck. Could it be that his sister was just unlucky?

That's fantastic! Following her sister around, we'll definitely be among the top scorers in this event.

Si Yunming approached Xu Jiawei, slashed at the lion with his sword, and said, "It's alright, I'm also unlucky, I often encounter monsters, although not as frequently as now."

Xu Jiawei: ......

Xu Jiawei used spore clones, and those clones released parasitic spores at the same time as the main body. Fortunately, the effect of the parasitic spores was not changed, but unfortunately, the clones only had one-tenth of Xu Jiawei's mana, and they were almost exhausted after releasing it once.

The creatures gradually slowed down, but gradually recovered after the effects of Xu Jiawei's parasitic spores wore off.

Xu Jiawei didn't understand. Why were there so many strange mechanisms among the creatures in this other world? One minute they had magic resistance, the next they had physical resistance, and now there was one with such strong regenerative abilities.

Seeing that sword and blade attacks were ineffective, Li Ming unleashed a barrage of fireballs, but the flames seemed to have no effect on the creatures.

Xu Jiawei thrust her sword into the body of the creature attacking Li Ming. This time, it pierced through easily. Xu Jiawei was taken aback. This place seemed to be where the fireball spell had hit. Could it be that this creature was afraid of fire?

Xu Jiawei drew her sword, but the creature's wounds had not healed.

"They're afraid of fire! Flames can make them lose their ability to recover!" Xu Jiawei shouted. After saying that, Xu Jiawei took out a bow and arrow that she hadn't used in a long time and kept shooting flaming arrows.

Si Yunming and Bai Yu were also taken aback. Bai Yu slightly curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? I happen to make equipment and weapons, which means I play with fire."

After speaking, he took out the furnace used for forging weapons. The furnace was glowing with green flames, which rose up and devoured the ice and snow creatures.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have defeated 3 Calamity Creatures and gained 30 Experience Points and 3 Ice Beads.]

Si Yunming was not to be outdone. A black flame slashed out from the tip of his sword, emitting an eerie light, and slowly devoured the creature.

Li Ming looked at the two people and released the three-legged toad, which then spat out a mouthful of flames.

Looking at all this, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but think to herself: Goodness, everyone's hiding their secrets, huh? Turns out, only she's being honest.

So they drew their bows and shot arrows, which made things much simpler. Soon, the group had cleared out a large group of creatures without showing any mercy.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for defeating 10 Cataclysmic Creatures, gaining 100 experience points and 10 Frost Orbs. (Aren't Chinese people supposed to be obsessed with white-haired creatures? How come they're all so ruthless?)]

Xu Jiawei chuckled as she read the system's announcement: "Hehe, system, you're so funny."

Obviously, others also saw the system announcement. Bai Yu complained, "This isn't just white-haired, it's a non-human, right?"

"Bai Yu, what is a white-haired fetishist, and what is a non-human being?" Li Ming asked.

"Huh? You didn't know? I thought you were into anime because you're so chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). " Bai Yu replied.

Li Ming: ......

Si Yunming: I don't know either.

After killing most of these creatures, the other creatures seemed to realize that these people were not to be trifled with, and dared not approach, slowly retreating.

The group didn't give chase. In a place unseen by the group, these creatures engaged in a horrific massacre, as if their earlier combined attack on them had been a mere illusion.

The lion bites the fox with its bloody jaws, and the fox bites the weaker one with its sharp teeth. Only when the strong one has finished eating and licks its blood-stained lips with satisfaction does the slaughter end.

Even Xu Jiawei and the others could smell the blood and hear screams.

"These creatures should be hibernating, but it should be the opposite. They wake up when it's cold and sleep when it's hot. After they wake up, they have to engage in this cruel feeding. However, our arrival has disrupted this feeding method, and they attacked us first," Si Yunming said, expressing his guess.

Xu Jiawei nodded in agreement.
