The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2441 Waiting for the rabbit
Thousands of people flocked out, each one seemingly on drugs, brimming with energy.

Butler Chen said that the previous promises still stand, which means that even if the Phoenix Fire Spirit is found by relying on this bell, the person who captures it can still regain their freedom!
In addition, Steward Chen said that there is only one Phoenix Fire Spirit, and whoever catches it owns it. Since there is going to be a struggle for it, the ban will be temporarily lifted. Once the Phoenix Fire Spirit appears, everyone can try to snatch it, and life and death will be up to fate.

Whoever captures the Phoenix Fire Spirit and brings it to her is the victor.

Lin Chen had originally planned to go out and try his luck, but when he saw Guo Cheng and the others sitting motionless in the camp, he suddenly changed his mind.

Guo Cheng even gave his own woman to Jiang Wenyun to win him over. It couldn't be just to get more Phoenix Fire Crystals or points. His real goal was to capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit and gain his freedom!
Why didn't they move like the others?
Lin Chen thought about it briefly and came up with the answer.

Without cultivators skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape into the ground and move incredibly fast underground), those people wouldn't be able to catch the Phoenix Fire Spirit!

While the powerful may be able to overturn mountains and seas and split the earth into prisons, the cunning Phoenix Fire Spirit may not give you that opportunity.

As long as others can't capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, they'll eventually have to come to us for cooperation. So why should we go out and run around?
Why not just wait in the camp for the person who found the Phoenix Fire Spirit to come and ask for cooperation?

After figuring things out, Lin Chen quietly stayed behind.

Fu Yunzi and the others did not go out. They only wanted to secretly help Lin Chen so that he could eventually capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit and everyone could leave safely. However, this help had to be done skillfully; they could not directly help Lin Chen.

Fu Yunzi naturally saw through Guo Cheng and the others' plans. Since that was the case, they would just wait and see.

The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind!

Fu Yunzi and the others have been here for so long, but they have never revealed their true strength. In any case, infighting is prohibited here, so even if others have doubts, they can only think about it in their hearts.

Just wait and see.

People were coming and going in the camp, and messages were spreading rapidly throughout the camp.

"883 spotted the Phoenix Fire Spirit, but before he could even get close or make a move, the Phoenix Fire Spirit burrowed underground and ran away. Enraged, he dug a bottomless abyss into the earth, but he didn't even catch a glimpse of the Phoenix Fire Spirit..."

"Once the phoenix fire spirit entered the ground, it moved as fast as light. Unless an array was set up beforehand, how could it be stopped?"

"I also encountered 3878, and the result was the same; I couldn't catch it at all."

"To capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, one must know earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese metaphysics). Even if one's strength isn't enough to defeat the Phoenix Fire Spirit, one can still use many methods to greatly increase the chances of capture." "That's right. Even if one can't defeat it, one can use a binding magic weapon. As long as one can catch up to the Phoenix Fire Spirit, activate the magic weapon to temporarily bind it, even if it's just to delay it. Then, the cultivators on the ground can cooperate by breaking through the earth, and wouldn't that allow them to capture it?"

"They figured this out a long time ago. Look, 646 and the others have already won over 5666 who knows earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic in Chinese fantasy novels). They don't go out to look for him; they just wait in the camp. They're waiting for someone to discover the Phoenix Fire Spirit and ask them to cooperate!"

"Who can blame us for being so powerful? We can't afford to offend them. We can only hope that we'll get lucky and that the Phoenix Fire Spirit will suddenly become stupid."

"What are you thinking? If such a good thing were possible, it wouldn't have fallen into your lap."

"Why don't we keep an eye on them too? If anyone approaches them for cooperation, we'll go with them?"

"Do you want to die? Those three are ruthless characters. Under the rules, they have killed countless people. Now that the ban has been lifted, I'm afraid anyone who dares to approach the Phoenix Fire Spirit will be killed by them."

"That's true. Oh well, we're not destined for that. Let's just wait it out!"

Many people understood Guo Cheng and his group's plan, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they were extremely powerful and ruthless. Trying to rob them would likely result in death before even seeing the goods.

Half a month has passed, and the Phoenix Fire Spirit has been discovered four times, but each time it easily escapes underground and disappears without a trace.

Everyone realized that they might be able to find the Phoenix Fire Spirit on their own, but they had absolutely no chance of capturing it.

Since that's the case, why not find someone who might be able to capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit and cooperate with them to ask for a spot to gain freedom? That shouldn't be a problem!
That day, Guo Cheng and his friends were sitting in their usual spot, playing cards, when suddenly someone flew in hurriedly from outside the camp.

As soon as he entered, he rushed toward Guo Cheng and the others.

"Brother Cheng, if you have any information about the Phoenix Fire Spirit, is it possible for us to cooperate?"

Guo Cheng's eyes lit up. He placed the cards face down on the table and smiled, "Of course. To capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, you must use Earth Escape Technique, and the only person in the camp who knows Earth Escape Technique is right here."

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

Guo Cheng smiled slightly: "Once I capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, I will apply to my master to grant my people, along with the person who provided the information, their freedom!"
