Chapter 2420: Chapter 2440: Why Didn’t You Bring Out the Detection Magical Treasure Sooner?

Time flew by quickly, and before he knew it, Lin Chen had been in this world for three months.

In those three months, Lin Chen had ventured out more than a dozen times. The results were mixed, but overall, he had collected forty-eight clusters of Phoenix Fire, about four thousand Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones, and a huge assortment of various other resources. His haul was substantial.

Master Floating Cloud and the others who formed a team to search had also gained quite a bit, primarily because both Master Floating Cloud and Liuyun were so powerful that they were virtually invincible in this world.

Fire Crocodile?

If Lin Chen couldn’t kill the Fire Crocodile, that didn’t mean Master Floating Cloud and Liuyun couldn’t. For them, it was merely a matter of lifting a hand. With their strength, if it weren’t for the fact that they were wary of the woman in red clothes, they probably would have taken off already.

In three months, most of the newcomers had adapted to life here. Those who didn’t adapt were already dead. Most died during adventures, and a small number were those who tried to escape but were captured and ruthlessly eradicated.

It’s worth mentioning that among the new batch of people, there was coincidentally a cultivator with Earth Escape of the earth attribute named Jiang Wenyun. His realm was a little higher than Lin Chen’s, the Third Layer Elephant Mystery Realm of Great Luo Xuanxian. Thanks to the unique advantages of Earth Escape, he was able to avoid the attacks of various Demonic Beasts and successfully locate Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones.

Jiang Wenyun was rather smart. After realizing the advantages of Earth Escape, he did not reveal himself. However, he was fond of wine and women, and while drinking with others during rest times, he accidentally let slip, which led to others tricking him into disclosing his ability.

The news that Jiang Wenyun could perform Earth Escape spread throughout the Camp in an instant, and he became a hot commodity overnight.

In the Camp, people had already formed small interest groups for better survival. These groups all tried to pull Jiang Wenyun to their side, hoping to get him to join their circle.

Several small groups were vying for Jiang Wenyun, and even started engaging in covert competitions. If it weren’t for the strict rule against fighting in this place, the competition for him would probably have sparked numerous battles.

Jiang Wenyun had been originally hesitant about which group to join, but soon after the woman who had previously stopped Lin Chen to inquire if he knew Earth Escape entered Jiang’s dwelling, he agreed to join the small group the woman was a part of.

The woman’s group was not large, consisting of just four members. The leader was Guo Cheng, second brother was Guan Zhaoyu, and the third brother was Xue Gang. All three were Supreme Immortals, with the Boss Guo Cheng being a Pinnacle Daluo Supreme Immortal, possessing considerable strength.

In the whole Camp, their strength might not be the strongest, but they were certainly among the top, and these three were known to be ruthless and merciless, having long established themselves as a force to be reckoned with.

The woman was named Fu Yunxiang, with the strength of an Early Heavenly Immortal. She was beautiful and full of feminine charm and had been taken in by Guo Cheng to become his woman.

Of course, among the cultivators trapped in the Roulette Secret Realm, there were no shortage of women. Those who survived either had enough strength on their own, or had allied themselves with powerhouses, becoming dependents of the strong. There was no third option.

For Yun Xiang, turning to Guo Cheng and using her body as a bargaining chip meant ensuring her survival and securing cultivation resources. That was the way of life for many female cultivators here with inadequate strength.

After Jiang Wenyun joined Guo Cheng’s group, Yun Xiang moved into his dwelling, clearly indicating that Guo Cheng, in order to win over Jiang, readily handed Yun Xiang over to him.

As for women, they were plentiful!

Out with the old, in with the new!

With the strength of Guo Cheng, could he ever be lacking in women?

Lin Chen did not envy Jiang Wenyun’s treatment in the slightest. He was well aware that in the eyes of Guo Cheng and the others, Jiang Wenyun was merely a temporarily valuable tool.

The strength of Guo Cheng’s group was already formidable, and now with Jiang Wenyun’s Earth Escape, their efficiency had increased manifold. Their loot increased rapidly, leaving others green with envy.

Because the woman in red had demanded that Lin Chen must rely on himself and not on the likes of Master Floating Cloud, he had always been solitary, even avoiding too much contact with Master Floating Cloud and others in the camp, to prevent any suspicion.

Although Lin Chen had already obtained enough Phoenix Fire to laze around for over a year, he didn’t rest for even one day, continuing his worldwide search for more Phoenix Fire Crystals, and hoping to come across the Phoenix Fire Spirit along the way.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed. Lin Chen didn’t encounter the Phoenix Fire Spirit, but he did obtain many more Phoenix Fire Crystals.

When Lin Chen returned again, he submitted the Phoenix Fire.

This time, he stayed at the camp and didn’t rush out again, because, with a significant increase in manpower for exploring, the entire world had essentially been scouted, and nearly all of the Phoenix Fire Crystals had been mined.

More and more people abandoned expeditions and gathered in the camp, chatting excitedly.

"All places have been scouted; the world has come to the end of its opening up, right?"

"Almost, there’s no point in staying any longer; maybe our Master has already prepared the next world for us."

"But hasn’t the Phoenix Fire Spirit not been captured yet?"

"So many people have been searching for such a long time, encountering it numerous times, yet no one has caught it. It probably won’t be easy to capture it."

"It’s also unknown whether the Great One will personally take action..."

"Who knows, but since she values Phoenix Fire so highly, she definitely won’t give up on the Phoenix Fire Spirit!"

While everyone was engaged in spirited discussion, Steward Chen made another appearance.

"The Master has ordered that, effective immediately, all searching for Phoenix Fire is to be suspended. Everyone should now start searching for the Phoenix Fire Spirit."

"I will distribute a Magical Treasure refined by the Master to each person. Carrying this Magical Treasure, if you enter within a certain range of the Phoenix Fire Spirit, the treasure will undergo a corresponding change."

The people were immediately elated. A Magical Treasure to help with detection?

Someone asked, puzzled, "Steward Chen, if these marvelous treasures were available, why didn’t you bring them out earlier?"

With an icy expression, Steward Chen replied, "Does the Master not spend time fashioning these Treasures? Originally, it was expected that you would find the Phoenix Fire Spirit yourselves, but with so many people, not one was successful. The Master had no choice but to take action and refine detection Treasures for you..."

The faces of the people fell, and they dared not retort, as they were indeed slaves.

Questioning Steward Chen might be one thing, but their Master?

That would be nothing short of a death wish.

Soon, Lin Chen also received a detection Magical Treasure. Looking down, it was a bell!

Lin Chen gave it a shake, but the bell didn’t make a sound. Observing the patterns on the surface of the bell, it seemed that there was an Array Formation inside and the breath of the Phoenix Fire Spirit could activate it, causing the bell to ring.

With so many people wielding detection Treasures, scouring the world, the Phoenix Fire Spirit should have nowhere to hide now!
