Chapter 2421: Chapter 2441: Wait by the Stump for the Rabbit

Thousands of people swarmed out, each seeming as though they had ingested some stimulating drug, bursting with energy.

Steward Chen had said that the promise made before still stood, meaning even if one were to find the Phoenix Fire Spirit through the help of this Bell, the person who captured it could still regain their freedom!

Besides, Steward Chen also mentioned there was only one Phoenix Fire Spirit, and whoever caught it would own it. Since there would be a competition, the prohibition was temporarily lifted; once the Phoenix Fire Spirit appeared, everyone could fight for it to their heart’s content, life or death being in the hands of fate.

Whoever brought the Phoenix Fire Spirit before her would be the victor.

Lin Chen originally intended to go out and try his luck too, but upon seeing Guo Cheng and his group sitting in the Camp, still as mountains, he suddenly changed his mind.

Guo Cheng had even offered his own woman to Jiang Wenyun, trying hard to woo him; his objective wasn’t merely for more Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones or points. His true goal was to capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit and gain his freedom!

Why hadn’t they moved like everyone else?

Lin Chen thought briefly and came upon the answer.

Without Earth-escape Cultivators, those people wouldn’t be able to catch the Phoenix Fire Spirit, which could easily burrow underground and run incredibly fast!

Though the more powerful might overturn seas and dry the lands, or tear the earth to create prisons, the cunning Phoenix Fire Spirit might not grant such an opportunity.

As long as others couldn’t catch the Phoenix Fire Spirit, eventually, they would have to seek cooperation with our group. In that case, why bother running around outside?

Why not just wait in the Camp for the person who found the Phoenix Fire Spirit to come seeking cooperation?

After figuring this out, Lin Chen quietly stayed behind.

Master Floating Cloud and others did not go out either. They only wished to assist Lin Chen from the shadows, hoping that he would ultimately capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, so everyone could leave safely. However, such assistance had to be tactful and not a direct intervention on Lin Chen’s behalf.

Master Floating Cloud saw through Guo Cheng and his group’s intentions. Since that was the case, they would wait as well.

The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind!

Master Floating Cloud and his group have been here a long time without revealing their true strength. Since the Rules forbid infighting, even if others were suspicious, they could only wonder in their hearts.

Just wait.

Inside the Camp, people were coming and going, and snippets of information rapidly spread throughout the Camp.

"883 discovered the Phoenix Fire Spirit but just as he approached without even making a move, the Phoenix Fire Spirit burrowed into the ground and ran off. He was so frustrated he blasted a deep abyss in the ground, but didn’t even catch a glimpse of the Phoenix Fire Spirit’s shadow..."

"Once the Phoenix Spirit enters the ground, it runs as fast as light. Unless an Array Formation was prepared in advance, where can you block it?"

"3878 encountered it too, with the same result, absolutely incapable of catching it."

"To capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, one must master Earth Escape. Even if not strong enough to overpower the Phoenix Fire Spirit, it allows the use of many strategies to greatly increase the chances of capture."

"That’s right, even if you can’t beat it, carrying a binding Magical Treasure, as long as you can get close to the Phoenix Fire Spirit and activate the treasure to temporarily restrain it, even just delaying it would work, allowing the ground Cultivators to cooperate and break through the earth, wouldn’t that allow them to catch it?"

"They have already understood this point. Look at 646, they’ve already won over 5666, an Earth-escape Cultivator. They aren’t looking for the spirit outside; they’re just waiting in the Camp. They are waiting for someone to find the Phoenix Fire Spirit and seek their cooperation!"

"What can we do when they are so powerful? We can’t offend them; all we can hope for is a blind cat running into a dead Rat, maybe that Phoenix Fire Spirit will suddenly turn stupid."

"Dream on, if there were such a good thing, it wouldn’t fall on your head."

"Should we also watch them, and if someone comes to cooperate with them, follow them?"

"Are you seeking death? Those three individuals are ruthless. Under the rules, they’ve already killed who knows how many people. Now that the prohibition is lifted, they would probably kill anyone who dares to get close to the Phoenix Fire Spirit."

"That’s true, forget it, we are not destined for this; let’s just hang in there!"

Many had understood Guo Cheng and his group’s plan, but there was nothing they could do about it, as their strength was indeed formidable, and they were both ruthless and ferocious. To compete with them for the treasure, one might not even see the item before meeting their death.

Half a month passed, and the Phoenix Fire Spirit had been spotted four times, each time easily escaping underground, fleeing and escaping.

Everyone realized that relying solely on themselves, they might find the Phoenix Fire Spirit, but they were definitely not assured of capturing it.

Given that, it was better to seek cooperation with someone who might be able to capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit and secure a place for freedom; that shouldn’t be a problem, right!

On this day, Guo Cheng and his group still sat in their usual spot, playing cards, when suddenly someone rushed hurriedly from outside the Camp into it.

The person entered and rushed directly towards Guo Cheng and his group.

"Cheng Ge, if there is news about the Phoenix Fire Spirit, can we cooperate with you?"

Guo Cheng’s eyes lit up, and he placed the cards in his hand on the table, smiling and said, "Of course, to capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, one must master Earth Escape, and here, in this Camp, the only person who knows Earth Escape is right here."

The man asked in a deep voice, "What can I get?"

Guo Cheng smiled slightly, "I capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, I will ask the Master to let my people, along with the person providing the information, gain their freedom together!"
