Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Had I been too arrogant? I had to get back quickly, even if I had to give up on the treasure chest.

However, the tiger didn't want to give her that chance. It pounced with lightning speed, and Xu Jiawei didn't even see it clearly before dodging to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

The tiger missed its target and landed on the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.

The tiger was furious. A roar came from its huge mouth, and the sound waves made Xu Jiawei's protective suit flutter.

Xu Jiawei was a little angry. If you're going to yell at someone, why spit on them? The spit got all over her.

She didn't know if her saliva smelled bad inside the gas mask, but it was sticky and wet.

After that attack, Xu Jiawei realized that it seemed she wouldn't be able to leave for the time being.

At Rainbow's fastest speed, it would take her at least 25 minutes to travel, meaning she has 5 minutes left to kill the tiger.

Five minutes to kill a tiger, me?

This is almost impossible. It's not that Xu Jiawei lacks confidence in her own strength, but rather that she has even more confidence in the tiger's strength; it could kill her with a single slap.

It seems I have no choice but to use my talent. Although the commotion I make will attract other creatures, there's nothing I can do about it.

In an instant, Xu Jiawei dodged the tiger's attack, jumped to the silver treasure chest, and put it into her temporary backpack right in front of the tiger.

The tiger became even more agitated, seemingly very concerned about the box, and increased its speed tenfold.

Because Xu Jiawei had just finished collecting the treasure chest, she was unable to dodge the attack in time, and the tiger slapped her with its paw.

Xu Jiawei was sent flying more than ten meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and her golden body was activated instantly.

With the distance just right, Xu Jiawei unleashed her talent, and the area beneath her feet transformed into a cluster of exploding light mushrooms.

Ignoring the fact that she was still within the attack range, Xu Jiawei detonated the explosives. She felt a white light flash before her eyes, followed by darkness.

My ears were ringing, and then I lost consciousness.

When Xu Jiawei woke up again, she found herself lying on top of Rainbow's head. Rainbow had become enormous and was rushing towards the shelter at an extremely fast speed.

The roars of creatures echoed from all around.

Xu Jiawei looked down and saw countless strange creatures, like ants hunting prey, trying to climb onto the rainbow's body and tear it apart.

More and more monsters climbed onto the rainbow, and upon closer inspection, they realized they were surrounded by these creatures. However, the rainbow didn't care at all, ignoring their bites, and kept running forward, not daring to stop.

As more and more creatures accumulated around her, Xu Jiawei released Light Spores to knock down the creatures clinging to the rainbow.

Seeing that the area ahead was blocked again, causing the rainbow to slow down, Xu Jiawei gritted her teeth and released her talent again, releasing a Bright Explosion Mushroom into the monster horde, and another flash of white light appeared.

Those creatures lay on the ground, unable to rise again, but Xu Jiawei had no time to finish them off and could only watch helplessly as the experience points slipped away.

Her heart ached so much she felt like she was suffocating; her heart was bleeding.

However, we still need to get back to the shelter as soon as possible; we can't let a small matter cause us to lose more than we gain.

Xu Jiawei led the way, Xiao Fen increased the output of the lights, and Rainbow had to run at full speed. Finally, through their efforts, they shook off those things.

Why can the pink plant expand its lighting range? It's like the street lamp flower in Plants vs. Zombies. The lighting range has a distance. Just like the street lamp flower, the pink plant also chose the same method to expand its lighting range, which is to plant more plants.

No, it should be that she splits herself multiple times to increase the lighting distance, so Xu Jiawei's visible range is already very large. However, this also consumes a lot of energy, which is why Xu Jiawei only lets Xiao Fen use it in special circumstances.

Rainbow sped up, and on the road, a human holding a torch was also running at full speed. Xu Jiawei turned her head and made eye contact with that person.

The human only glanced at Xu Jiawei before running even faster, whether frightened by the rainbow's enormous size or simply too busy to catch up.

Xu Jiawei only glanced at him before looking away. If time hadn't been running out, a battle between them would have been inevitable, since this human was covered in blood, which wasn't his own; he must have killed other players.

I didn’t expect there to be humans so close to my shelter. Wouldn’t the shelter be very dangerous once she goes out?

Finally, in the last few seconds before the countdown ended, Xu Jiawei rolled into the shelter. The moment she entered, it immediately went dark, and it was pitch black.

Suddenly, all around became quiet; there wasn't a sound.

Why did it suddenly get dark? Xu Jiawei sensed something was wrong, so she made a torch out of wood and lit up the surroundings.

The torches only illuminated the area inside the protective shield; outside, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, as if something had swallowed up all the light.

This made Xu Jiawei feel very uncomfortable.

Now that everything was alright, Xu Jiawei closed the door. Her biggest gain today was this silver treasure chest, because she almost couldn't have made it back.

Is it safe to enter the shelter now? Or should we upgrade our race first?

There wasn't even a bed in the shelter, so Xu Jiawei could only spread some weeds she had gathered on the ground so she wouldn't have to lie on the ground. Then a flash of white light appeared, and Xu Jiawei, lying on the weeds, lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, everything was still quiet. The torches had burned out, and there was no light around me.

Xu Jiawei stood up and made another torch. She felt much lighter and her mental strength was even stronger.

So I opened the panel, eager to see the current attributes.
