Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

All they had to do was hold off the leader, but the leader's strength was giving Xu Jiawei a real headache; it seemed the two of them were no match for him.

The demonized leader waved his hand lightly, sending the two flying. Even Si Yunming looked somewhat serious.

So Xu Jiawei prepared to play guerrilla warfare, hitting and running away, and then try to escape after Li Ming and the others ran away. However, it seemed that fate was against her. A continuous stream of demonic creatures came out of the ice house. It was simply unrealistic for such a small ice house to hold so many demonic creatures.

"Look inside the igloo, is there something like a teleportation array?" Xu Jiawei shouted, looking at the three people dealing with the mutated creatures.

"Meimei, I'm leaving this to you!" Li Ming said to the three-legged toad above his head as he blocked the attack.

Meimei raised her chin and then jumped into the group of demonized humans. Li Ming took the opportunity to run into the ice house.

"Rainbow, go help them." Xu Jiawei tossed Rainbow over there, taking Li Ming's place.

Li Ming entered the ice house and saw a huge, black portal inside. Countless mutated creatures were running out of the portal. Li Ming slashed at the black portal, but nothing happened. So he took out some bombs and threw them directly at the portal. A huge explosion was heard, and Li Ming was sent flying backward, landing on the ground and spitting out blood.

He quickly gulped down a bottle of recovery potion, then shouted, "Sister, there's a black portal in the ice house. You need a very high-damage bomb to destroy it." He then stood up. He didn't have many bombs left, and there were still so many ice houses; he couldn't possibly destroy them all.

Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming were still dealing with the leader, and Xu Jiawei winked at Si Yunming.

Si Yunming understood and quickly held off the leader. Xu Jiawei took out the Destruction Mushrooms and used the Spirit Attachment Technique. Then, these Destruction Mushrooms grew arms and legs and ran towards the Ice House. A series of booming sounds came, and the Ice House, along with the teleportation portal, was completely destroyed.

The leader roared and attacked Xu Jiawei in a fit of rage. Xu Jiawei did not use any spirit-binding techniques, but instead threw the exploding mushroom at the leader and retreated.

As soon as the smoke cleared, the leader charged through the explosion!

"Aaaaah! I'll tear you all to pieces! You've ruined our ten years of planning! If I don't kill you today, I won't be satisfied!"

The leader completely disregarded the wounds inflicted by the explosion, his heart filled with nothing but resentment as he punched Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei's expression changed. This punch could have knocked out her golden body. Si Yunming rushed over, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Ignoring his injuries, he slashed at the demonized human leader.

The greatsword left a long wound, turning it completely black. After Si Yunming finished his attack, the blackness detached from the greatsword and adhered to the leader's wound.

The leader cried out in pain, then looked at his wound, his expression changing: "How could you do this? You're clearly just an ordinary human!"

"This is impossible, this is impossible! This is clearly a gift from the Lord that I could only learn!" After saying this, the leader's expression changed. Could this person be related to our God?

This shouldn't be happening! If God could come out, He wouldn't have let them come first!

"Who are you! What is your relationship with our god!" The leader stopped chasing Xu Jiawei, and Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief, then began to release parasitic spores.

"It's alright." Si Yunming's face darkened; his attributes were indeed related to the people here.

Then the black thing eroded the leader's wound. As the wound worsened, the blackness grew stronger, as if it were devouring everything to replenish itself.

Si Yunming's complexion grew increasingly worse, with cold sweat appearing on his face, and his expression shifting between madness and suppression.

Xu Jiawei shouted anxiously, "Si Yunming! Stop! You're losing your mind!"

Si Yunming barely managed to lift his head, his lips moved slightly, and Xu Jiawei seemed to understand. He could hold on a little longer; now it was up to Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei took out several bottles of mana potion and released spore clones again. Unfortunately, she was still too unskilled at releasing spore clones, and it took her a full 10 seconds. The number of clones was also reduced to only 10.

After Xu Jiawei and her clone simultaneously released parasitic spores at the leader, mushrooms grew on the leader's wounds. The mushrooms multiplied until they covered the leader.

Xu Jiawei didn't dare to stop either, releasing parasitic spores one by one. Xu Jiawei's proficiency was getting higher and higher, and with this accumulation, the demonized human leader was visibly decaying at an even faster rate.

At this moment, Si Yunming's face was covered with black demonic patterns, giving him an eerie appearance. Xu Jiawei reminded him again, "Si Yunming! Stop!"

Si Yunming seemed to have just come to his senses. He quickly stopped his skills, clutched his neck, and coughed violently. He would turn his killing intent toward Xu Jiawei for a moment, and then, as if he had regained his senses, he would point his sword at the demonized leader.

Xu Jiawei's skills have been relentless, and now she can only rely on the percentage damage of her parasitic spores to attack.

After Si Yunming stopped attacking, the demonized human leader seemed to have recovered somewhat, but he looked as if he had suffered a severe injury. He glared at Si Yunming and said, "You are far inferior to everyone else who has been given a man!" After saying that, he didn't even care about Xu Jiawei anymore and threw a punch at Si Yunming, who was no longer able to attack.

Xu Jiawei's expression changed. Looking at the clone that hadn't dissipated yet but had no mana and could only use basic attacks, she had the clone block the attack. Unfortunately, the clone couldn't use the Golden Body skill, and it dissipated after one punch. The clones rushed forward one after another, and Xu Jiawei took the opportunity to save Si Yunming.

Meanwhile, Li Ming and his group had finally finished dealing with some of the dark creatures and were running far away. Rainbow escorted them away, and the dark creatures gave chase.

Upon seeing this, the leader glanced at Xu Jiawei, then at Si Yunming, and then uttered strange syllables. The pursuing dark creatures stopped chasing and ran back.

The two who hadn't managed to escape were viciously attacked. The faces of the others who had already escaped changed. Bai Yu said, "Oh no! These creatures have all gone to attack Jiawei and the others!" As she spoke, she wanted to go back to help, but Li Ming stopped her.

"Don't go. We'll only cause trouble if we go back. My brother and sister are attacking the leader to buy us a chance to escape."

Bai Yu could only grit her teeth and run in the opposite direction from Xu Jiawei and the others. They were too weak to be of any help.

But Rainbow gradually stopped, watching the group run further and further away, and then ran back.

Seeing the mutated creatures surrounding them, Xu Jiawei could only lead Si Yunming to hide and dodge. Si Yunming pushed Xu Jiawei away and said, "I'll hold them off." At this moment, the black demonic markings on Si Yunming's face had not yet disappeared, and his consciousness was somewhat unclear.

"Stop using that trick again," Xu Jiawei said, and continued attacking the leader.

The leader was slowed down considerably by the effects of the parasitic spores and couldn't hit Xu Jiawei.

The leader got annoyed and roared. Then, a black substance similar to Si Yunming attacked Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei couldn't dodge in time. The black substance climbed up Xu Jiawei's arm. Xu Jiawei instantly felt that her arm was no longer her own. Her arm seemed to be withering away, and she had no way to fight back.
