Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei watched the man go inside, and without hesitation, she slipped in the instant he opened the door. There were many boxes covered with black cloth inside, so Xu Jiawei made a decision and immediately hid behind a large box.

The man only felt a gust of wind when he closed the door and didn't pay any attention to it.

The man then moved the large box to Xu Jiawei's left, and Xu Jiawei moved slightly to the side.

The man hummed a song as he opened the box. The box cracked open in all directions, crashing to the ground with a loud thud that made the ground tremble.

The loud noise caused a roar to come from the boxes covered with black cloth.

"Shut up, you bunch of beasts!" the man cursed. He opened the box and found an iron cage inside. Inside the cage was a frightened fawn, which was pounding on the cage, bleeding profusely, but still trying to escape.

Xu Jiawei was so shocked she couldn't speak. Were all the boxes under these black cloths filled with living creatures? Taking advantage of the man's inattention, Xu Jiawei gently lifted a corner of the black cloth next to her.

Xu Jiawei gasped. Inside were some creatures that showed obvious signs of demonic transformation.

Are these people researching how to demonize these creatures?

Xu Jiawei gently placed a corner down. Now that the God of Darkness had begun his research, his plan would soon begin. She had to remind the God of Light that if the world had been prepared in advance, this outcome might not have happened.

Xu Jiawei gently reached for the door. At that moment, someone opened the door and entered. Xu Jiawei dared not make any rash moves and hid behind the black box to observe.

This person's clothing is even more magnificent, suggesting he holds a high position within the temple.

"My Lord, you've arrived! The test subjects are excellent this time, and the experiment is sure to be a success!" the man said excitedly.

"Regardless of what kind of test subject it is, it seems like a little bug has slipped into this room." As he spoke, the divine messenger's gaze fell on the box where Xu Jiawei was hiding.

Xu Jiawei's expression changed, and she wanted to slip away immediately.

The divine messenger sneered, "Trying to escape!"

The man's face also showed an expression of embarrassment and anger, but he didn't even notice. "Heh, since you're here, stay. It's a good opportunity to test whether humans can be corrupted by demons."

Seeing the approaching dark aura, Xu Jiawei knew that the invisibility cloak wouldn't be enough to dodge it, so she had no choice but to expose herself and release a burst of light spores to disperse the dark aura.

"She's actually a lackey of the Temple of Light! The Temple of Light has indeed noticed us! We can't let her go!" After the divine messenger finished speaking, streams of dark energy rushed towards Xu Jiawei.

These two are of very high level; she was only able to break through their skills because they were too careless.

If she didn't leave quickly, she would die here. Xu Jiawei opened the door and rushed out, but the divine messenger easily blocked her way. His speed was far beyond her reach. Xu Jiawei released Rainbow and sat on his back. Rainbow was much faster than her. Now she just needed to dodge the attacks of these two people and escape from the temple.

Xu Jiawei couldn't tell the difference in their levels at all. All she could do now was run away. She even released a spore clone as a cover to buy herself time to escape.

As long as you get to the territory of the Temple of Light, you can survive.

However, the two men pursued relentlessly. Just as Xu Jiawei was about to leave the Dark Temple, she saw Rainbow seem to have bumped into something, like a barrier, preventing her from continuing her escape.

"You little thief, you can't escape!"

Since there was no way to escape, the only option was to fight. The difference in levels left Xu Jiawei feeling utterly hopeless. This person's base attributes were at least five times hers. Fortunately, Xu Jiawei was eating attribute mushrooms every day, which prevented the gap from widening further. His attributes should be similar to Mo Feng's current attributes.

Mo Feng's stats at level 80 are only similar to this man's. Could it be that this man is already level 80?

In fact, the divine messenger was only level 72. Perhaps it was because the ancient world had a wide variety of attribute crops that the ancient people had such high attributes.

A five-fold difference? Consider it like fighting a boss.

Xu Jiawei took a deep breath, still feeling somewhat desperate. She couldn't fight back at all; it was a complete stomp of attributes.

As Xu Jiawei searched for a way to save herself, a malevolent aura suddenly swept over her. Xu Jiawei was very familiar with it; she had seen it before, whether on the seventh floor of the tower or in the dark temple at the bottom of the lake. This aura was that of the Dark God, but this aura was countless times stronger than any Xu Jiawei had ever seen before.

The pressure was so intense that she couldn't breathe, and her heart stopped beating. Xu Jiawei coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

Sensing this presence, the two men ceased their pursuit and instead knelt on the ground, crying out, "My god! My god!"

Xu Jiawei's consciousness gradually blurred under the pressure of this aura, and she was even unable to think.

She could only bite her tongue hard to regain a little strength, and then used all her skills in an attempt to find that glimmer of hope.

After Xu Jiawei released her last skill, her consciousness was about to disappear. Suddenly, a warm current surged from Xu Jiawei's body, and Xu Jiawei even felt that the pressure on her body had disappeared. What was going on?

Xu Jiawei looked at the last skill she had used: Mushroom God.

[Mushroom God: Divine Descent Spell, summons the Mushroom God to descend to earth through one's own prayer, consuming 100 mana.]

Could it be that this skill really summoned the Mushroom God? Xu Jiawei opened her eyes with hope.

"Woman, is it you who summoned me?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Jiawei looked up in surprise: "CEO, CEO???"

"What domineering CEO? I am the Mushroom God!" Xu Jiawei looked at the mushroom-faced man with a great physique above her and fell into self-doubt.

Mushroom God? How come he looks exactly like the domineering CEO?

The world has gone completely mad. Even on her deathbed, she dreamt that the domineering CEO had turned into a mushroom god.

"Heh, Little Black, this woman is my successor, you can't kill her," the Mushroom God said arrogantly, then frowned, "Oh, you disagree, then we'll just have to fight."

As the Mushroom God and the Dark God began to fight, Xu Jiawei hadn't even recovered from her shock when she thought, "CEO, I've wronged you before."

"I'm so damn stupid, I actually ordered the domineering CEO to do manual labor!" Xu Jiawei still couldn't believe it. The domineering CEO was the Mushroom God? Maybe he just looked like him.

Xu Jiawei comforted herself and prepared to try the skill again when she got back.

Then Mushroom God snorted coldly, and Xu Jiawei only felt a blur before her eyes before she was flying into the sky.

Mushroom God grabbed Xu Jiawei and started running away.

"Ha, woman, what trouble have you gotten yourself into that this guy is so eager to kill you?"

Xu Jiawei swallowed hard: "They probably know about the life-or-death situation of this world. If it gets out, the Dark God will become an enemy of the world."

"Heh, woman, you really know how to get into trouble." Hearing those familiar words, Xu Jiawei had a strange feeling that the person pulling her away was the domineering CEO.

Fortunately, she's already used to the domineering CEO's mushroom face. If she laughed, the Mushroom God would probably just abandon her.
