At its peak, there were more than three hundred Cultivators of Wood surrounding Michael S. Lucien. However, after several "losses" and a number of escapes, only a little over a hundred remained.
Michael S. Lucien still had no qualms, telling everyone candidly, "You all already know the situation here. You can't escape on your own, and it's certain death if you try. Following me may be risky, but as long as I find what I want, I will take you away, giving you some chance of survival."
After some thought, the cultivators admitted that it made sense and could only help Michael S. Lucien search for the Gonggong Miracle Stone with extra caution.
