C1397 The Guild Leader of the Awakened Guild
"Does Liu Zheng, the president of the Jiangnan Metahuman Union, and Faang Yu, the vice president of the Shanghai Metahuman Union, know about this?"
At this moment, Wang Xiao suddenly opened his mouth and asked Shi Taotao.
"They already know." Shi Taotao nodded and said to Wang Xiao.
"Then what did they say?"
Wang Xiao also asked when he heard this.
"What they mean is the same as what I said. If those hidden Ancient Martial Family and ancient martial forces are really interested in the Ice Turtle, then they won't be able to leave Dark Bog Jungle alive."
Shi Taotao said to Wang Xiao with a serious expression.
When she finished her last sentence, a cold light flashed across her eyes.
As the elder of Stone City Awakened Guild, it could be said that her heart was very tough and spicy. It was just that normally, she would only reveal the weakness of a woman in front of Wang Xiao.
"That's fine. There are too many monks and too little food. If someone comes to snatch the porridge, they naturally won't feel good about it."
Wang Xiao nodded his head and didn't say anything else.
The Awakened Legion had walked for another four to five days in the Dark Bog Jungle.
As they gradually entered the depths of the Dark Bog Jungle, the mutated animals they encountered became stronger and stronger. Some of the weaker Awakened Team started to become more and more powerful. There were even casualties.
After a day of intense battle, many of the crippled Awakened Team were on the verge of dying.
When Shi Taotao saw this, she could only let the Awakened Legion set up camp and rest.
However, this time, many of the Awakened Team's members revealed a look of exhaustion on their faces. One could even see that many of the awakened ones were already thinking of retreating.
It had been a week since they entered the Dark Bog Jungle. They had not even seen the shadow of the Ice Turtle, and there were already casualties among their team members.
If this continued, perhaps even their lives would be lost here.
After another night of silence, on the second day, many of the Awakened Team's captains found Shi Taotao and proposed to withdraw from the operation.
Shi Taotao's expression was indifferent towards their decision. It was as if she had already guessed that they would speak of this matter.
However, Shi Taotao did not urge them to stay and only nodded her head. After giving them a mission failure letter, she let them leave.
When those Awakened Team left the main group and headed towards the outer region of Dark Bog Jungle, the huge Awakened Legion seemed to have become a lot more desolate.
"Why did you let them leave? When they leave, we will lose a lot of cannon fodder when we encounter the Ice Turtle. "
Wang Xiao walked to Shi Taotao's side and stared at the back of the Awakened Team members who had chosen to leave. He then asked Shi Taotao.
Shi Taotao heard this and the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile. She said faintly, "Once the hearts of the people have dispersed, it will be difficult to lead the team. Since they want to leave, let them leave."
"Even if we force them to stay, the end result will only be a burden to the main group. Furthermore..."
Speaking up to this point, Shi Taotao paused for a moment. She turned her head and looked straight at Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao."
" Do you think these Awakened Team can leave Dark Bog Jungle alive? "
Hearing Shi Taotao's words, a trace of shock appeared on Wang Xiao's face. "Shi Taotao, what do you mean by this?"
Shi Taotao turned around and looked at the back of the members of the Awakened Team who had given up. She said word by word,
"The reason why the Awakened Legion was able to reach this place was because of the number of people. We helped each other and killed the mutated animals. That's why we were able to persist until here."2
"But now, many of the members of the Awakened Team were injured and chose to retreat. If they were to encounter the sneak attack of the mutated animals on their way back, with their strength, would they still be a match for them?"
Upon hearing Shi Taotao's words, Wang Xiao's face revealed a look of enlightenment. "So that's how it is!"
After saying that, Wang Xiao did not say anything else.
After seeing Wang Xiao's reaction, Shi Taotao's face revealed a look of interest and asked, " Why didn't you ask me? You clearly knew that they would die if they went back, yet you still let them go back. You didn't even doubt me?"
Wang Xiao heard her and shook his head. He smiled and said, "They chose to leave. What would happen after that would be the result of their own choice. Their fate is decided by them. Why should I say so much?"
When she heard Wang Xiao's words, the corner of Shi Taotao's mouth lifted into an appreciative smile.
...
With the departure of many Awakened Team, the morale of this huge Awakened Legion became somewhat low.
Fortunately, with the help of the three guild leaders, the morale of these Awakened ones was somewhat restored.
After resting for half a day, the Awakened Legion once again set off, heading towards the depths of the forest from the Dark Swamp.
Two days later, the Awakened Legion, who was walking, suddenly heard noises coming from all directions.
It was as if there were creatures approaching from all directions!
For a moment, everyone's face revealed a vigilant expression. They drew out their weapons and looked around vigilantly.
Now that they had entered the depths of Dark Bog Jungle, no one could guess what kind of mutated animals would appear next.
No one wanted to die here for no reason. It would be hard to tell what kind of suffering they would have to suffer.
Wang Xiao also quickly came to Shi Taotao's side. The two of them looked at each other and swept their eyes in all directions. Their eyes were filled with vigilance.
Very quickly, many figures appeared in the woods in all directions.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Awakened Guild team from the surrounding cities of Dark Bog Jungle and the people from the Awakened Main Guild.
In the past few days, they had heard the news about the Ice Turtle. Because from the geomancy, it could be seen that... Their city was closer to the Dark Bog Jungle, so their speed was faster than Shi Taotao.
After the large group of Awakened Guild gathered, the popularity of the entire Awakened Legion increased once again. After the number of people increased, the safety of the camp also increased by a lot.
Wang Xiao even found out that the camp where the Stone City Awakened Union was located was much more patrolled than usual, and the security was even stricter.
What made Wang Xiao even more surprised was that the large group from the Awakened Guild had also gathered many awakened experts.
Wang Xiao had even seen many Awakened ones with special abilities: Sky Patrol Soldiers with flying abilities, Underground Patrol Soldiers that could escape through the ground, and special Awakened ones who could transform their bodies into water and merge into the small stream.
Just as Wang Xiao was enjoying himself, Shi Taotao sent someone to call him back. When he walked into Shi Taotao's camp, he was surprised to find that there was a White-haired Old Man sitting in Shi Taotao's tent.
This White-haired Old Man carried a huge sword on his back, but there was not the slightest fluctuation of Sword Intent around him. It was as if the huge sword was an ornament on his back.
However, Wang Xiao did not look relaxed at all. Someone who could come to the depths of Dark Bog Jungle. Their strength wouldn't be weak. Although this White-haired Old Man didn't have any Sword Intent on him, however, he had a huge sword on his back, which meant that his awakened ability must be related to the sword.
After seeing Wang Xiao, Shi Taotao revealed a happy expression. She said to Wang Xiao, "Wang Xiao, come over quickly. Let me introduce you. This was the advisor sent by the Awakened Main Guild, an elder of the Awakened Main Guild. Jian Yun!"
