Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Although the attack was slightly weaker than before, it was still beyond Xu Jiawei's ability to handle. She could only spread the Light Purification over her entire body to block as much as she could.

The black substance struck Xu Jiawei, and she felt a burning pain all over her body before her golden body was activated.

Finally, the statue's attack ended, and the cracks were slowly healing. Just like Si Yunming's skill, it could absorb the opponent's energy to restore itself.

Unfortunately, Xu Jiawei's energy was too weak, and she only recovered a little bit.

Xu Jiawei immediately purified herself and Rainbow again, and then Rainbow used the "Transplantation" technique to repair herself and her master.

Xu Jiawei's eyes had just been invaded by a black substance, and she couldn't see anything. Her vision had just recovered, and she hurriedly looked for Si Yunming's figure, wondering if he was dead.

Finally, Xu Jiawei saw Si Yunming, whose body was covered in eerie demonic patterns and was pitch black. At this moment, Si Yunming stared intently at Xu Jiawei, revealing a malicious smile.

Si Yunming has lost his mind! This has made the already uncertain situation even worse.

The statue cried out, and after a moment of struggle, Si Yunming's body stiffened before he lunged at Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei saw Si Yunming, who was covered in black energy, and quickly dodged backward.

It then released a purifying light, wanting to restore Si Yunming's sanity.

The light purification landed on Si Yunming, only causing him to pause for a moment before he continued to pounce.

Xu Jiawei was in a terrible predicament. Now, besides guarding against the statue's attacks, she also had to stop Si Yunming's madness. If this were a normal game, Xu Jiawei would have surrendered and given up. Unfortunately, this was not a game; it concerned Xu Jiawei's life.

......

She continuously released light to purify, trying to awaken Si Yunming.

As Xu Jiawei released the light to purify, the blackness on Si Yunming's body faded, and a struggling expression appeared on his face as he tried his best to say to Xu Jiawei, "Continue."

After she released 10 more Light Purifications, most of the demonic runes on Si Yunming's body disappeared. He seemed to be in great pain, his face was pale, and he was covered in cold sweat.

Si Yunming stopped and looked at Xu Jiawei: "I'm sorry."

He then changed direction and stabbed the statue's body with his sword.

Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief, finally regaining her senses. Then, she directly used Parasitic Spores, no longer fixated on the Light-type skills mentioned by the system. She found that percentage-based skills seemed to be more useful.

Percentages are forever the best!

As expected, Xu Jiawei's parasitic spores were much faster than the spores of light. Mushrooms grew all over the statue, and even its movements slowed down considerably. As the mushrooms grew, cracks appeared all over the statue.

The statue roared in exasperation, and then black matter covered its entire body, eroding away all the parasitic spores. The dark matter separated from the statue and then split into black orbs of light.

Something seemed to be moving inside the black sphere of light. This thing looked like an egg, giving Xu Jiawei a very bad feeling. Her intuition urged her to destroy the sphere completely.

Dealing with dark matter still requires the light attribute, so Xu Jiawei released light spores. These black spheres are very fragile, and basically one light spore can take care of one. However, there are just too many of these eggs, and it is impossible to clear them one by one.

With a "snap," the black egg split open from the middle, and an "angel" with jet-black fur and wings emerged from the shell.

They crashed into Xu Jiawei, and in just a few minutes, these things actually hatched, and these "angels" emerged one after another.

Xu Jiawei was starting to struggle to cope; even the slightest touch of this dark matter required purification, which was extremely troublesome.

The "angels" raised their bows and arrows, and countless arrows flew forth.

Since Xu Jiawei couldn't completely avoid it, she spread the light purification all over her body.

While Xu Jiawei was busy dealing with the angels, the black substance on the statue had deteriorated, and all of that black substance had turned into angels attacking Xu Jiawei.

But Xu Jiawei and the others are two people. Perhaps it's because Si Yunming and the evil god share the same attribute, but the statue is very weak against Si Yunming. It only retaliates after being attacked, and under normal circumstances, it doesn't care about his movements at all.

For example, right now, Si Yunming has quietly circled around to the back of the statue.

With another thrust of the sword, the statue, enraged, attacked Si Yunming. At that moment, countless clamorous voices filled Si Yunming's mind: "Human, you are my chosen servant, how dare you kill your master?"

"Humans, join us."

"Offer your soul to me."

"I am your master; we are the same kind."

Si Yunming gritted his teeth and forced out two words: "Shut up!"

The voice seemed to pause for a moment, then continued, "Join us and you can become my priest. As long as you kill that human of the Light element on the other side, I can grant you anything you desire."

I will grant you all your wishes.

Si Yunming gritted his teeth and plunged the sword back into the statue's body.

"We are of the same origin, you can't kill me."

Join us.

Join us!

"Join us," the evil god's voice drifted and echoed in his mind, sometimes sounding like an old man, sometimes like a child, then quickly becoming a man's voice, and then a woman's voice.

These sounds intertwined, making Si Yunming's mind wander.

He then cut himself with the sword to stay conscious and stabbed the statue again, mechanically stabbing it. Si Yunming seemed to have lost consciousness and could not hear anything except the voice in his mind, not even Xu Jiawei calling his name.

Xu Jiawei sensed that Si Yunming's current state was very abnormal, but the angels were blocking her way, so she couldn't check Si Yunming's physical condition at all.

Seeing the "angels" surrounding her again, Xu Jiawei gritted her teeth and stopped dodging, flying towards Si Yunming. Upon seeing this, the statue revealed a triumphant smile, and a huge light sword composed of black dark matter rushed towards Xu Jiawei's heart.

She had no way to dodge. Si Yunming vanished from his spot, holding Xu Jiawei as he dodged the attack. At this moment, the demonic markings on Si Yunming's face were even more severe, and his expression showed struggle.

"I'll leave the statue to you. I can't kill it, but I'll hold off those things." Si Yunming put Xu Jiawei on the ground and then slashed at the "angels" who were attacking Xu Jiawei.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Jiawei continued to release parasitic spores at the statue, and the cracks on the statue became more and more serious, but she was still unable to kill it completely.

A faint voice echoed in her mind.

"Please, purify with light..."

The sound was so faint that Xu Jiawei thought she was hallucinating. So she released a purifying light on the statue, and the cracks on the statue multiplied, and even the darkness receded rapidly. The statue let out a resentful roar.

Then a faint ball of light slowly spread from the statue's heart to its entire body, purifying it.
