Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

At this moment, Lin Chengye was speaking to the others: "Listen to me, everyone, we must unite. The atmosphere here is very dark, and now is not the time for infighting."

A sharp male voice rang out: "Easy for you to say, why don't you go scout ahead yourself? I've already lost four brothers, and if I listen to you again, all my brothers will be dead."

"I stayed here to unite everyone and command the battle! You just sent people to scout ahead, can't you even do this simple task well? Everyone agrees!" Lin Chengye's voice made Xu Jiawei feel disgusted, and Xu Jiawei wished she could stab him on the spot.

However, she held back and hid in the shadows with a few others, watching the group of people in the distance from afar.

Several people gradually echoed Lin Chengye's sentiments.

Si Yunming looked at Xu Jiawei's expression and asked softly, "Do you have a grudge against that man who's leading the group?"

At this moment, Xu Jiawei gritted her teeth and said softly, "Yes, an enemy, an enemy to the death."

"Then I'll kill him for you," Si Yunming's calm voice came.

These casual words deeply moved Xu Jiawei; he truly was her good friend.

The shrill male voice rang out again: "I quit! You can hire whoever you want to scout ahead, brothers, let's go!"

"Heh, you think you can still leave? Since you dare to back out, then pay the price!" After Lin Chengye finished speaking, a group of people surrounded the three people.

"Lin Chengye! You tricked me!" The leader of the group was so angry that his face turned red.

"There are only three of you, how could you possibly be a match for 15 of us? If you had just gone to scout ahead honestly, you might have survived." Lin Chengye smiled smugly; this guy actually dared to betray him.

He allied with other players only to kill Xu Jiawei. In order to form an alliance, he even revealed that Xu Jiawei had mythical equipment, which directly attracted a large number of players to ally with him. Unexpectedly, now the first thing to do is deal with the traitor.

"Lin Chengye, you're a complete hypocrite! I really misjudged you!"

"Heh, you didn't come here for the mythical equipment. Since you want the equipment, you'll have to listen to me." Lin Chengye finished speaking and called out, "Let's do it!"

How could three people be a match for 15? Soon, the three were powerless to resist and were about to be killed when suddenly a huge shock came, which even Xu Jiawei, who was hundreds of meters away, felt.

The group looked up and saw a huge black monster emerge from the ground. The monster was completely black, covered with black human faces—some crying, some laughing, some men, women, and children—making it look terrifying. The faces spoke strange words in an unknown language.

It made people feel dizzy.

Lin Chengye had no choice but to stop attacking the three and immediately organized his men to defend. However, the two men with defensive talents at the front were smashed into mincemeat before they could even withstand a single blow from the monster. Lin Chengye watched this in horror and immediately pushed the three men who had no ability to resist out of the way to buy himself time to escape.

The three were forced to confront the enormous monster, and closed their eyes in despair, while Lin Chengye had already led the others away.

As the leader of the three, he immediately activated his talent, holding off the monster's attacks, and said to the two behind him, "Run!"

"Boss, we're not leaving! We'll die together!"

"Yeah, boss, we'll die together, it's a pity I can't avenge our brothers!"

"Alright, let's go to the Yellow Springs together. It's a pity that seven of us died here. Seven of us were among the top ten in our group. We don't know what the future holds," said the man called the leader.

The group had already closed their eyes and awaited their deaths, but the monster stopped attacking instead. When the three opened their eyes, they saw a very handsome man blocking the monster's attack.

A very beautiful and lovely woman unleashed her attack, and the monster cried out in pain.

The three were stunned, wondering if a god had descended from the abyss to save them.

Suddenly, more than a dozen people rushed out, surrounded the three, and tied them up with ropes. Before the three could react, they were captured.

"Captain, we've captured him, so you can focus on the fight now," Gu Lin shouted in Xu Jiawei's direction.

The three people who were tied up were somewhat surprised and afraid. Who were these people? What was the strength of that man and woman? Why were they able to fight against this monster?

Xu Jiawei was getting a terrible headache from the monster's voice. The sound was even attracting the surrounding darkness, which was rapidly gathering, and the monster's body was growing larger and larger.

Xu Jiawei had a terrible headache, so she released several Light Spores just to shut the monster up. But when the Light Spores hit it, the monster roared even louder.

Si Yunming no longer concealed his strength and directly activated his skill. Black matter surged out from Si Yunming's sword, and the black matter on the monster's body resisted Si Yunming's attack, resulting in a temporary stalemate.

Xu Jiawei was not to be outdone. She flew directly behind the monster and released a light purification. The monster was attacked from both sides. The black substance, which was originally on par with Si Yunming, began to retreat step by step. The monster roared.

It then covered its entire body in black substance and attacked the two of them.

Oh no, it's going to self-destruct like that corrupted human leader!

Xu Jiawei released Rainbow from the pet backpack, ready to use the "Transplant" technique to save Si Yunming at any time.

She has an invincible body and won't die anytime soon, but Si Yunming doesn't; he doesn't have any life-saving skills.

Seeing Xu Jiawei running towards him, Si Yunming quickly shouted, "Don't come any closer!"

After saying that, he wrapped his whole body in the black substance. Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had a solution, and then flew high into the air, trying to get as far away from the monster as possible.

Unlike Tang Sanzang, her teammates weren't courting death. They had already led the three of them far away and set up several layers of protective shields.

Knowing how to save your life is a virtue.

Soon the black substance spread outwards, and terrifying black waves surged in all directions, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

Even Hsu Chia-wei wasn't spared, but luckily her teammates were far away and weren't affected.

After Xu Jiawei used Light Purification on herself, Rainbow used Transplantation to repair herself, and then hurriedly searched for Si Yunming.

A black sphere was seen battling against the self-destructing black substance, and it looked like it was about to collapse. Xu Jiawei then used her purification skill to cleanse both black substances. Si Yunming stood there, pale-faced, seemingly unharmed except for the damage caused by Xu Jiawei's light purification.

Xu Jiawei felt a little embarrassed, but she quickly regained her composure. She was doing it to save him, just like performing surgery. Even though it involves cutting open the patient's body, it's still to save him.
