Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have reached the seventh floor. Please solve the puzzle to enter the indoor passage.]

Is there any more puzzle to solve here? Do you think this is an escape room? Xu Jiawei was a little helpless, but seeing that there was no danger in this place, she and Si Yunming separated to find a way in.

"Hey bro, you can have the left side, I'll look for the right one."

Si Yunming nodded. The two of them first explored the statue for a long time but found nothing. Then, they went to the walls and floor and knocked on them one by one to see if they were hollow.

However, the two of them searched the entire place but found nothing.

Since it's not on the ground, let's go look in the sky.

Xu Jiawei used levitation to begin climbing upwards, while Si Yunming used the black substance to cling to the wall and climbed up like a spider.

I must say, he's actually quite handsome.

Xu Jiawei flew for about 100 meters before she could barely see the top of the statue. The statue was of a goddess, but Xu Jiawei didn't know what kind of goddess she was.

Finally, at the top of the statue, Xu Jiawei saw a huge ruby. This gem was unique and stood out from the rest. Xu Jiawei tried to press it, but it wouldn't budge.

"There are murals here, come and take a look. They seem to be related to finding the passage." Si Yunming leaned against the wall and called out to Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei floated to the location indicated by Si Yunming. This was the scene of the palace's construction, showing how the workers moved the giant stones to this open space and built it little by little.

This is a scene of statue construction. Workers are carefully sculpting the statue's appearance, while some people are responsible for building a secret chamber inside the statue, located at the heart of the statue.

Finally, the worker placed the mechanism on the ruby, and the last scene appears to show him striking the ruby ​​with something.

It looked like a magic staff. Xu Jiawei took out her staff, flew to the ruby, and struck the ruby ​​with the staff.

Suddenly, a suction force came from her, and she felt her magic points rapidly draining away.

Xu Jiawei was horrified. There was a hundred meters or so between her feet and the ground. If she ran out of magic power, she would fall straight down and be smashed into a pulp.

Instead of striking the mural, it was pasted on, allowing the ruby ​​to absorb its magical energy.

Xu Jiawei was tightly held by the gemstone, unable to move, and could only watch as her magic power gradually ran out.

Heaven is going to destroy me!

Just as Xu Jiawei's magic power was exhausted, Si Yunming finally arrived and caught her firmly.

"Brother San Dian, you arrived just in time! I almost got killed by this trap." Xu Jiawei patted her chest, relieved that her heart had nearly jumped out of her chest.

"Be careful, what's going on?" Si Yunming asked.

"This ruby ​​absorbs a person's mana. While it's absorbing mana, you can't move at all, and you can't even drink medicine," Xu Jiawei said, then thought for a moment and continued.

"Hey bro, I'll give you the potion in a bit. You can feed it to me every 10 seconds. Can you try that?"

Si Yunming hesitated. Could this really work?

Seeing that Xu Jiawei had already flown up, Si Yunming didn't say anything more and climbed up the statue.

He handed the potion to Si Yunming, then placed the staff back onto the ruby.

Si Yunming stared intently at Xu Jiawei, and when she looked over, he fed her the medicine.

After an unknown amount of time, when most of the potion given to Si Yunming was used up, the ruby ​​emitted a dazzling red light and slowly landed on the heart of the statue. The red light beat slowly like a heart, gradually increasing in speed.

Xu Jiawei's expression was solemn. She felt extremely uneasy. What was going on?

Seeing that Si Yunming was still on the statue, they grabbed Si Yunming and left the statue, hiding in the place furthest away from it.

As the heart merged into the statue, the dazzling red color gradually deepened, becoming like blood, flowing all over the statue's body. Xu Jiawei became increasingly vigilant until the intense red turned black.

This made the sacred statue appear extremely sinister. Finally, a red light flashed in the statue's eyes, and it began to tremble violently. Eventually, it actually moved. The statue's eyes rolled and locked its gaze on Xu Jiawei and the other person.

His eyes revealed intense malice.

Then it opened its mouth, and a black wave of light rushed towards the two of them.

[Ding! Players are requested to defeat the statue corrupted by the evil god and find the passage into the room.]

[Monster Introduction: The statue was originally a statue of the Goddess of Light, containing an avatar of the Goddess of Light. One day, it was invaded by an evil god, and the avatar of the Goddess of Light was corrupted, transforming into an avatar of the evil god. (Light-attribute attacks have a special effect!)]

Xu Jiawei dragged Si Yunming and dodged the attack. Xu Jiawei tried to use the system-assisted skill, but as she expected, the system assistance was unusable again.

Xu Jiawei felt that this guy was definitely much stronger than that leader, after all, he was an incarnation of an evil god.

Can you beat them?

"System, are you sending us level 10s to our deaths?"

[Ding! Respected AAA Mushroom Fairy player, this evil god's clone has been weakened by the passage of time. The system determines that a level 10 player can kill it.]

"Xu Jiawei, put me down," Si Yunming said, looking up.

Xu Jiawei slowly descended and placed Si Yunming on the ground.

Then the rainbow was released, and it grew bigger and bigger like an inflating balloon until it was almost as tall as the statue before it stopped.

After Xu Jiawei put Si Yunming down, she flew to the top of the rainbow and released light spores. These light spots landed on the black statue, and Xu Jiawei felt that the blackness had faded a bit.

The statue revealed an evil smile, and a black substance hundreds of times more powerful than the leader surged forth.

Xu Jiawei used the Light Purification technique to resist, but that tiny ray of light was like a mayfly trying to shake a giant tree and was quickly dispersed.

He quickly commanded the rainbow to shrink, thus avoiding the attack of the dark matter.

Xu Jiawei looked at the large hole corroded in the main hall by the dark matter and asked, "System, are you sure it's weakened?"

The system remained silent for a while, then a cold, mechanical voice came through.

[The system misjudged the clone. Due to this error, compensation will be provided after the player leaves. (Private message: Masai, I made a mistake, please forgive me.)]

She needs to be able to leave this place; she's no match for the dark matter right now, and I don't even know if she can purify it.

At this moment, the statue let out a strange cry, and Si Yunming plunged the giant sword into the stone statue, causing huge cracks to appear on its body.

The stone statue lowered its head, and the black substance attacked Si Yunming. Si Yunming quickly retreated and flashed behind the stone statue.

Xu Jiawei took the opportunity to release light spores again to attract the statue's attention.

Seeing the two insects playing cat and mouse with each other, the statue became increasingly annoyed. After its entire body was covered in black substance, it rapidly attacked all around.

"Oh no, there's no escaping it!"
