Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Those areas damaged by "darkness" cannot heal themselves, so parts must be replaced. If the skin is ulcerated, the skin is replaced; if the internal organs are ulcerated, the internal organs are replaced. If too many parts are damaged, then everything must be replaced.

Fortunately, Zhang Yunting's injuries were not too serious; he only suffered damage to the skin and muscles.

If it were any more serious, I probably would have died right here.

Taking advantage of the moment when the shadowy figure was injured, Xu Jiawei pressed her advantage and released another clone, using Light Spores to land on the shadowy figure, forming a huge cocoon of light that enveloped it.

The shadowy figure tried to break through the encirclement of the light spores, but Xu Jiawei covered it with several more layers of light spores. The light cocoon was constantly protruding and shrinking back due to the internal impact. However, no matter how the shadowy figure attacked, the light cocoon seemed to be very resilient and could not get out at all.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have learned a new skill: Cocoon of Light. This skill consumes 120 mana points and traps enemies within a cocoon of light, dealing continuous damage.]

She's mastered a new skill; it looks like a control skill.

Just as Xu Jiawei was about to deliver the final blow, she saw the cocoon of light that had trapped the shadowy figure quickly turn black, and the black spread out at an extremely fast speed.

Xu Jiawei had no idea what was going on. Was it some new skill again?

"Yes! He's going to self-destruct!" Si Yunming shouted, his face extremely solemn and anxious.

Seeing Si Yunming's performance, Xu Jiawei immediately realized that this self-destruct skill was far beyond what they had imagined, and that they might all die here.

Xu Jiawei gasped and immediately used all her mana to form a large cocoon of light, which could cover five people. Upon seeing this, Zhang Yunting and Bai Yu pulled Li Ming and ran into the cocoon of light. Si Yunming was no exception; his face turned much paler after entering the cocoon of light.

Although I was blessed by the Goddess of Light, I still feel very uncomfortable inside this cocoon.

The light cocoon quickly turned black after a short while. Xu Jiawei took advantage of this time to pour in the mana potion, which continued to generate new light cocoons. In this way, it purified and disappeared continuously. During the purification process, Xu Jiawei's face became more and more tired. Her mental strength was about to give out, and the dizziness in her head became more and more obvious.

Unexpectedly, this self-destruction was so powerful. Xu Jiawei felt like every second was an eternity. She didn't know if ten minutes or half an hour had passed, but she had already used up most of her mana potions.

Finally, the black substance could no longer break through the light cocoon. Li Ming stared blankly at everything, muttering, "Is it over?" Those of them who were inside the light cocoon and couldn't help at all felt terrible, watching the light cocoon turn black and then white again, over and over again.

Their hearts were also rising and falling, and several times they thought they couldn't hold on and were going to die, but unexpectedly they survived.

Xu Jiawei was the first to collapse and sat down on the ground, while Si Yunming, also pale-faced, sat down next to her.

At this point, Si Yunming's health was also low. If he hadn't been constantly drinking potions to replenish it, he would have been killed by Xu Jiawei's cocoon of light instead of by the self-destruction.

"We won! We won!" Li Ming exclaimed excitedly as he looked at Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei immediately became alert: "Wait, why isn't there a system announcement?"

Upon hearing Xu Jiawei's words, the group immediately stood up and looked around warily. Ignoring her exhaustion, Xu Jiawei searched every inch of the room, finally fixing her gaze on the girl's corpse.

The girl was still lying on the ground unharmed, seemingly unaffected by the self-destruction, which was unusual.

Xu Jiawei cast another Light Purification spell on the corpse.

The corpse quickly disappeared from its spot and fled towards the basement entrance. Every time "she" tried to escape the basement, she was blocked by the basement's formation. In the past, she could use her powerful strength to bypass the formation, although she could not go too far. But now, she no longer had the strength to bypass it.

Xu Jiawei cast the purification spell again in the girl's direction. This time, the girl spoke again: "Wait, this girl still has self-awareness. If you purify her, she will completely disappear from this world!"

Hearing the voice, Xu Jiawei frowned. She didn't know if this guy was lying to her, but...

Perhaps it was because she was soft-hearted; facing someone who was friendly to her, Xu Jiawei found it hard to bring herself to harm them. Her intuition told her that the shadowy figure was not lying to her.

At this moment, a look of struggle appeared on the girl's face as she looked at Xu Jiawei with difficulty: "Use... your strength!"

"Don't you want to live anymore?! Don't drag me down with you!" the girl said again, this time in a different tone, her expression turning extremely evil.

The girl paused for a long time, then her face showed a struggle again as she looked at Xu Jiawei with unwavering determination: "Please,...do it!"

Xu Jiawei took a deep breath, her eyes gradually hardening.

Then, a continuous stream of purifying light emanated from Xu Jiawei's staff. Amidst screams of agony, Xu Jiawei's last utterance was, "I'll remember you!"

Then the sound drifted away with the wind.

"Thank you." This time, the girl's expression and voice no longer had that cold feeling. Now, her voice was gentle and her smile was sincere. Then, the girl turned into a beam of light and disappeared from Xu Jiawei's sight.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the limited-time mission and obtaining Important Intelligence*1]

[Ding! Congratulations on defeating the boss! Rewards will be split equally. Congratulations on receiving 60000 experience points and 1 diamond chest.]

[Ding! The player has attracted the attention of an evil god, who will now keep an eye on you. (Good luck!)]

Xu Jiawei looked somewhat solemn during the final broadcast when she suddenly heard Bai Yu's voice.

"Holy crap, 40000 experience points and a diamond treasure chest! This is the first time I've ever seen so many experience points!" Bai Yu couldn't help but feel excited.

"Even with such a generous reward, I don't want to do it all over again," Zhang Yunting said with a wry smile.

Bai Yu recalled her feelings in the Light Cocoon and felt a wave of fear wash over her. She nodded in agreement, "You're right. I don't want to go through that again. It's too terrifying."

Bai Yu then looked at her system panel with delight and said to everyone, "I've reached level 10! I can unlock my race soon!"

"Congratulations, congratulations," Zhang Yunting said with a smile. He was only a few thousand experience points away from reaching level ten.

Li Ming looked at his system panel and said anxiously, "Damn it, I'm still tens of thousands of experience points short!"

Listening to their complaints, Xu Jiawei smiled, glanced at the system panel, and saw that there was still about a day left. So she lay down on the ground to rest. Seeing this, the others spoke even softer, and Si Yunming also found a place to lean against the wall and fainted. The other three silently took over the guard duty.

When Xu Jiawei opened her eyes again, it was already dark. Zhang Yunting and the two of them were cooking. Seeing Xu Jiawei wake up, he quickly said, "Xiao Xu, you're awake? Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

Xu Jiawei looked at Si Yunming, who was still unconscious, nodded, and then went to check on Si Yunming's condition.
