The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2441: Chapter 2441: Waiting for a Rabbit by the Tree

Thousands of people swarmed out, each one full of drive, as if they were on drugs.

Steward Roth said that previous promises were still valid, meaning that even if you relied on this bell to find the Phoenix Fire Spirit, the person who captures it can still regain freedom!

Besides, Steward Roth also said that there is only one Phoenix Fire Spirit, and whoever catches it owns it. Since it’s about competing, the ban is temporarily lifted. When the Phoenix Fire Spirit shows up, everyone can seize the opportunity, life and death are by fate.

Whoever captures the Phoenix Fire Spirit and brings it to him is the winner.

Carson Flores originally planned to try his luck outside, but when he saw Phineas Tate and the others sitting motionlessly in the camp, he suddenly changed his mind.

Phineas gave his own woman to Prylor Jandric, pulling him in forcefully, not simply to gain more Phoenix Flame Crystals or Points; his real aim is to capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit and gain freedom!

Why haven’t they moved like the others?

Carson simply thought it over and found the answer.

Without Earth Escape cultivators, those people cannot capture the quick-moving Phoenix Fire Spirit that can easily escape underground!

The powerful can certainly move mountains and overturn seas, can split the ground to imprison, but the cunning Phoenix Fire Spirit may not grant you this chance.

As long as others can’t capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, eventually these people will come to us for cooperation. If so, why bother going out running around?

Isn’t it better to stay in the camp and wait for those who find the Phoenix Fire Spirit to come seek collaboration?

Having understood this, Carson quietly stayed behind.

Floating Cloud and the others also didn’t go out; they just wanted to secretly assist Carson a bit, ultimately helping him capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, so that everyone could safely leave. But this assistance has to be skillful, not directly helping Carson.

Floating Cloud naturally saw through Phineas’ plan, so they waited too.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

Floating Cloud and the others have been here so long but haven’t exposed their true prowess. Anyway, no internal fighting is allowed here, so even if others suspect, they can only think about it.

Just waiting.

In the camp, people were moving in and out, and news spread quickly.

”883 discovered the Phoenix Fire Spirit, but as soon as he approached, before he could act, the Phoenix Fire Spirit burrowed underground and ran away. In his wrath, he created a profound abyss, yet couldn’t even see the Phoenix Fire Spirit’s shadow...”

”The Phoenix Fire Spirit enters the earth and moves like light, without an early formation, how can it be stopped?”

”3878 encountered it too but with the same result, couldn’t catch it at all.”

”To catch the Phoenix Fire Spirit, one must know Earth Escape. Even if the strength is insufficient to capture, various techniques can be deployed, greatly increasing the chance of capture.”

”That’s right, even if you can’t defeat it, just bring a magical treasure with binding effects. As long as you can approach the Phoenix Fire Spirit, then activate the treasure to momentarily bind it, even just delaying it, ground cultivators can then coordinate to breach the earth and capture it.”

”People understood this early, look, 646 and the others have long secured 5666, who knows Earth Escape, without going out searching, just waiting in the camp for someone to discover the Phoenix Fire Spirit and seek cooperation!”

”What makes them formidable? We can’t provoke them, only count on blind luck, maybe the Phoenix Fire Spirit will act foolishly.”

”Dreaming, if such a thing happened, it wouldn’t fall to you.”

”Should we keep an eye on them, and if anyone seeks collaboration, we tag along?”

”You wish to die? Those three are ruthless. With restrictions lifted, they probably will kill anyone daring to approach the Phoenix Fire Spirit.”

”That’s true, forget it, we aren’t that fortunate, just endure patiently!”

Phineas’ plans were evident to many, but powerless against them; their strength was indeed formidable, ruthless and cunning, attempting to snatch anything from them—death might greet you before you see the prize.

Half a month passed, the Phoenix Fire Spirit was spotted four times but each time easily fled underground, escaping peril.

Everyone realized they might find the Phoenix Fire Spirit alone, but cannot assure capturing it.

In that case, it might be wise to collaborate with those who might capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit to secure a freedom spot, shouldn’t be problematic!

On this day, Phineas and the others sat at their usual spot, playing cards when someone hurriedly flew in from outside the camp.

Upon entry, this person quickly approached Phineas and the others.

”Phineas, if there’s news of the Phoenix Fire Spirit, can we cooperate with you all?”

Phineas’ eyes gleamed, placing his cards facedown on the table, smiled and said, ”Of course, catching the Phoenix Fire Spirit requires Earth Escape, and the only one in the camp who knows it is here.”

The person asked solemnly, ”What can I gain?”

Phineas mildly smiled, ”If I capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, I will apply for my people, including the message provider, to gain freedom!”
