Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

She just forgot something. Even if she's become stupid, she wouldn't be stupid enough not to run away when she sees danger.

The ground trembled violently, the original tunnel began to collapse, seawater poured in, the cracks in the stone walls grew wider and wider, and seawater flowed in through the cracks. As the seawater rushed in, the original balance point was broken, and the stone cave collapsed rapidly.

The seawater tossed Xu Jiawei around, and she quickly looked up to see what had happened to the Buddha statue, but she only saw the afterimage of the Buddha statue disappearing. It seemed that the black moon had exhausted its energy and disappeared unwillingly after using that attack.

"...Just you wait." With that final harsh remark, the Buddha statue vanished.

Xu Jiawei's mind, which had been covered by fog, suddenly cleared up, and she was somewhat confused, wondering what she had been doing before.

Why fight that monster? Why not dodge when injured? There are so many things to complain about. No, we shouldn't be thinking about that now. What we should be thinking about is what those shadowy figures and Buddha statues are, and what about that baby monster? How did these things appear? And aren't Buddha statues from Earth?

Why am I seeing this thing here?

But the seawater gave her no chance to react, sweeping her out of the cave along the crack.

Wasn't she supposed to be dealing with the source of pollution? How did she get swept away like this? She tried to swim back, but to no avail.

In the end, she could only follow the current and leave the place. After leaving, Xu Jiawei was surprised to find that what she thought was a stone cave was actually the corpse of a huge monster that looked like a centipede.

Is she still dreaming? Like that absurd dream she just had—the Buddha statue, the baby monster, the shadowy figure.

She hadn't realized that she had just been hallucinating, but she still felt like she was in a hallucination, and the absurdity of reality was no less than when she was hallucinating.

She was still struggling with her decision, but the system had already lost its composure.

The system even suspected that it was hallucinating and was still checking for bugs, wondering if it had been hacked.

But after checking everything, it was found that it was not hallucinating; it was all reality.

When Xu Jiawei entered the source of pollution, she fell into hallucinations. At first, the system couldn't detect it because Xu Jiawei didn't show any abnormalities, except that she was a little quieter than usual.

It wasn't until the purification equipment began purifying and the mutated creatures started crawling out of the teleportation array that the system realized something was wrong. No, why was she fighting the mutated creatures with her fists and feet?

What about her skills? Why doesn't she dodge when attacked? Is she kidding me?

The system started sending notifications, but Xu Jiawei didn't react at all. She just fought the mutated creature numbly. Only then did the system realize that Xu Jiawei seemed to be in some kind of hallucination.

It sent a message to remind her, but Xu Jiawei didn't react at all. The system was about to explode with anger when she finally made a move, as if she had heard its voice.

If it can hear sounds, that's fine. As long as it persists, it will surely be able to wake the person up.

Even though Xu Jiawei heard the voice, she was still confused. What was that intermittent speech? Was the signal bad?

She could hear everything, but that was all. In the end, she was almost killed by the overwhelming horde of demonic creatures, which made the system feel heartbroken.

If Xu Jiawei viewed it from God's perspective, she would understand why the baby monster was invincible. It was because the mutated creatures kept crawling out of the teleportation array, making it impossible to kill.

The system could only increase its energy output and communicate with Xu Jiawei. While she was fighting the demonized creature, the priests watched the show from the sidelines, pointing and commenting. Even the great envoys they had met before came. It was like watching a monkey show. The system felt hopeless.

However, the priests and messengers were extremely arrogant. It should be said that they were worried about something, so they did not take action, perhaps for fear that the illusion would be broken or that something unexpected would happen.

In short, they just stood by and watched, occasionally mocking Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei, whether annoyed by the noise of the priests or by the system itself, shouted for them to shut up.

The priests were startled, but then observed her more closely. When they found that she showed no signs of waking up, they relaxed. Some were frightened and angry, while others were wary and curious. Their laughter grew louder.

Fearing that Xu Jiawei might do something irreversible, the system sent messages even more frequently.

But soon, the system realized that Xu Jiawei was very angry, but her anger was directed at the priests. She rushed forward and attacked them before they could react.

The system was stunned. It hadn't expected that Xu Jiawei could still do things in the illusion, so it stopped calling out to her and decided to let her keep going. Why bother waking her up?

The priests seemed to have not expected Xu Jiawei to suddenly go mad. Several of them were killed in a sneak attack by Xu Jiawei in an instant. Only then did the priests react and begin to surround and attack Xu Jiawei.

Little Pink, who was in the pet backpack, couldn't sit still any longer. She used her high-temperature domain to imprison the priests and the divine messenger within her domain.

Xu Jiawei's perception that the dark figures were in pain during her hallucinations was thanks to Xiao Fen.

The priests could only endure the burning pain to deal with Xu Jiawei. Fortunately, Xu Jiawei didn't dodge much, which gave them a chance. But there was also bad news: Xu Jiawei seemed to have regained her ability to use her skills.

These low-ranking priests were no match for her at all.

Although the High Priest was somewhat flustered, he remained calm on the surface and directed the priests to attack. He would not retreat until he killed Xu Jiawei, because the previous two failures had already punished him. If he failed again, he might not even be able to keep his position as High Priest.

Soon, under the priest's attack, Xu Jiawei's golden body was forced out for the first time.

However, after activating the Golden Body, Xu Jiawei's fighting style became even more reckless. The Great God Envoy could only have the priests unleash their skills to block her attacks. For some reason, the now irrational Xu Jiawei's fighting style became even more aggressive and stronger than before.

After all, her current fighting style can be described as reckless. Moreover, after being blocked, Xu Jiawei immediately switched tactics and started dodging mode. Even the Great God Envoy was a little annoyed. What's with this fighting instinct?

Xu Jiawei quickly arrived in front of him, and even the Great God Envoy was not immune to damage from her reckless fighting style.

Although he was injured, Xu Jiawei was also exhausted and would soon be unable to hold on any longer.

What happened next surprised even the system: Xu Jiawei's pet beasts actually fed her medicine. No one knew where they got them from, but they just stuffed them into her mouth.

After she was fully revived, she charged forward again. At this moment, the Great God Envoy was a little scared. This opponent was terrifying. Even if he was demoted when he returned, he could not die here. So he tried to activate the teleportation array for the first time, but Xu Jiawei, who had lost her mind, had a very sensitive intuition and immediately used a skill to try to interrupt.

The Great God snorted coldly. This was a spatial skill; how could it be interrupted so easily?
