Divine Rune Awakening: Starting With Various Divine Runes and Dominating the World

Chapter 26: Taotie and Vermillion Bird

In a remote three-story building in the Demon Alliance Base.

Empty sacks were scattered on the ground in a room. In a corner, there were also sacks filled with crystal cores.

A handsome and aloof young man sat cross-legged on a mattress on the ground. He looked like he was in his mid-twenties. A Taotie War Halberd could be seen on the back of his right hand. Wisps of white energy were being drawn out of the crystal cores in the sack into his body at this moment.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.

Taotie slowly opened his dark and deep eyes. When he looked down and saw Wu Rui's name, he answered the call.

"Brother Wu, what's the matter?"

"There's a big mission. Come to the conference hall."

"Give me a moment. I'll be right there," Taotie replied before hanging up.

He returned to his bedroom and changed into a black suit before he left for the conference hall. He knew the fact that he was going to be dispatched meant that the mission was not simple.

In the base, apart from Gu Changqing, he was the strongest person. Even Zhang Hu was slightly weaker than him.

…

In the conference hall on the top floor of a building.

Apart from Wu Rui, a short-haired girl who looked about 18 or 19 years old was already waiting. She wore a fearsome mask, and she was dressed in a tight red outfit that accentuated her slender legs, upturned butt, flat belly, and ample chest. She was none other than Vermillion Bird. She was rather unsociable. Except for Gu Changqing, no one had seen her face under the mask.

At this moment, she sat on a chair with her legs crossed as she played with a red feather quietly.

Not long after, Taotie finally arrived. He looked at Vermillion Bird in surprise as he took a seat.

"Hmm? Vermillion Bird, you're here too? What kind of mission requires the both of us to act at the same time?"

The duo was both at the peak of the fifth rank. They were extremely powerful and were already capable of killing peak tier-six mutant beasts when they were only in the mid-stage of the fifth rank.

"Take a look at this. This mission was personally issued by the boss, and he specifically asked for both of you," Wu Rui said as he displayed information about Qiang Long Corporation, Dong Sheng Corporation, and Huang Yu Corporation on the screen.

The information was very detailed. It showed the number of Divine Runemasters, the number of meat processing plants, the strongest Divine Runemasters, and the locations of each corporation.

"Boss wants us to lead people over to take control of these three corporations. If we encounter resistance, we can kill them!" Wu Rui said, "Both of you can choose which corporation you want to go to first."

Taotie looked around and said, "Since the boss has spoken, leave Qiang Long Corporation to me."

Qiang Long Corporation belonged to Su Ge. The three most powerful Divine Runemasters there were at the mid-stage, late-stage, and peak of the fifth rank. Then, there were about 30 people under them who were in the fourth rank. All in all, their overall strength could not be underestimated.

"Then I'll go to Huang Yu Corporation," Vermillion Bird said in a hoarse voice. It was unknown if her voice was naturally hoarse or if she had deliberately spoken in a hoarse voice.

Huang Yu Group was under Situ Hao. The two strongest Divine Runemasters there were at the late stage and the peak of the fifth rank. Under them were 26 rank-four Divine Runemasters.

Wu Rui nodded. "Alright, then I'll go to Dong Sheng Corporation. You can go and gather your team now."

"Alright."

Taotie nodded before he brought his phone out and added ten people to a group chat. Then, he sent a voice message before he left.

"We have a mission. Gather at the hangar."

The ten people that Taotie gathered were elites as well. They were at the peak of the fourth rank. Six of them had Demon divine runes, two of them had the Savage Lion divine runes, and the remaining two had the Rampaging Gorilla divine runes.

Similarly, Vermillion Bird also gathered her team before she left.

After the duo left, Wu Rui called his wife.

"Yuxia, follow me on a mission."

…

At the hangar.

Dozens of helicopters with the logo of the Demon Alliance were parked there.

When Taotie and Vermillion Bird arrived, their team members had already equipped their amor and were waiting near their respective helicopters.

Before Vermillion Bird walked over to her team, Taotie reminded, "Vermillion Bird, don't be too careless."

Taotie had reminded her because she almost lost her life due to her carelessness when they went out to hunt two tier-six mutant beasts. If he had not gone to help her at that time, the consequences would have been dire.

"I know," Vermillion Bird said with a nod before she walked over to her team. As she walked, she equipped her Vermillion Bird Armor that was covered in crimson flames.

Buzz!

Taotie equipped his armor as well. It radiated a brutal and ferocious aura.

After the two teams boarded their respective helicopters, their pilots flew toward the opening in the nuclear fusion net that was specially created for the aircraft. After the two helicopters exited the base, they left in different directions.

…

Tang Miao, the Divine Runemaster with the Savage Lion divine rune, asked, "Captain, what's our mission?"

Taotie removed his helmet and lit a cigarette before he said, "We're going to the headquarters of Qiang Long Corporation in the capital. Boss wants us to take control of the corporation with force. There's a fierce battle ahead of us."

Tang Yan, Tang Miao's brother who also had a Savage Lion divine rune, asked worriedly, "The capital? If we fight there, will the Dragon Emperor Organization turn a blind eye to it?"

Wu Dahai, the Demonic Divine Runemaster, nodded and said, "It's not just that. There's also the newly established Divine Runemaster Alliance. That Lin Chen is not bad. He's in the mid-stage of the fifth rank but can kill a late-stage rank-six Divine Runemaster."

Li Libo sneered. "Do you think they'll dare to do anything? If the Dragon Emperor Organization or the Divine Runemaster Alliance dares to make a move against us, do you believe that Boss will kill them? Even if you give them ample courage, they won't dare to do anything."

Taotie took a puff from the cigarette and exhaled before he said with a hint of contempt, "That's right. Even if they were given courage, they still wouldn't dare to intervene in this matter. Lin Chen is indeed capable, but I don't think I'll lose to him."

Taotie truly was not afraid of Lin Chen. If they fought a life-or-death battle, it was truly hard to say who would live and who would die.

Li Liqun, the younger brother of Li Libo who had the Rampaging Gorilla divine rune, said with a smile, "Of course! Apart from the boss, who else can defeat our Captain?"

"I, Taotie, really respect the boss from the bottom of my heart," Taotie said. He could not conceal the admiration on his face at all when Gu Changqing was mentioned. He was a complete fan of Gu Changqing. In his opinion, Gu Changqing was like a god for being able to awaken so many divine runes without dying.

Back then, Taotie and Vermillion Bird were the first Dvine Runemasters to seek refuge with Gu Changqing.

Vermillion Bird was usually taciturn and aloof. Only in front of Gu Changqing would she show the demeanor of an 18 or 19-year-old girl.
