The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2438 Repeat good luck a thousand times, and you'll be free!
"I'll just watch, you guys play."

Lin Chen politely declined, but the man's shout had already attracted the attention of all the gamblers.

One gambler asked, "How long will it take for six clusters of phoenix fire?"

The insider replied, "Eight days."

"That's almost one flower a day! That's amazing efficiency. It's been a long time since anyone brought back so many at once."

"Young man, do you have some special methods?"

"How did you manage to withstand the attacks of those fire crocodiles?"

"Yes, tell us, so we can learn from you and try to reduce the number of deaths in the future..."

Everyone bombarded Lin Chen with questions, and the gambling game was temporarily suspended.

Lin Chen hadn't expected it to cause such a scene, and quickly said modestly, "I was just lucky to discover a group of volcanoes. I'm new here, so I don't have any special methods."

Lin Chen answered a few questions and then left the crowd. After thinking for a moment, he realized that it would be difficult to get any information out of the gamblers, so he decided to find someone who was drinking.

When people get drunk, they start saying whatever comes to mind, and you can't even refuse to listen.

It's relatively simpler for people who drink alcohol; as long as you have good wine, you'll definitely gain everyone's approval.

When Bai Yunfei parted ways with Lin Chen, he gave him a lot of fine wine. Those wines were all immortal wines that he had taken from the wine cellars of other sects, and their quality was superb.

Lin Chen quickly gained the approval of the group of drinkers because he not only brought out good wine, but also top-quality ingredients to make delicious snacks to go with the drinks.

Lin Chen quickly became friends with the group of drinkers, and then naturally the conversation turned to the mining of Phoenix Fire Crystals and the mysterious Phoenix Fire Spirit.

From these people, Lin Chen finally learned everything that had happened here.

They did not come from the Roulette Secret Realm, but were migrated here from another world by the woman in red to cultivate the land.

The environment here is harsh, and there are all kinds of ferocious monsters with incredible strength. Adventurers with lower strength die quickly, while the remaining adventurers are either powerful or have special abilities that allow them to survive in the face of many dangers.

They've been here for three years, and they've already explored most of this world. But now there are too few people, so the search is slow. Therefore, the woman in red has sent all the laborers she captured this time to this place to replenish the population so that they can complete the search of this world as soon as possible, capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, and then move on to the next world.

Lin Chen asked, "Has anyone seen the Phoenix Fire Spirit?" "Some people have seen it, more than once, but no one has been able to catch it."

"This thing has no physical form, runs incredibly fast, and can even burrow underground. In the blink of an eye, it disappears into the earth and vanishes without a trace, making it impossible to catch!"

"Unless you prepare a suitable formation beforehand and lure it into it, you might be able to stop it from escaping. But this guy is not only fast, it's also very timid and clever. At the slightest disturbance, it will run away, giving you no chance to prepare at all."

Everyone wants to catch it, but it's not that easy.

Lin Chen finally couldn't help but ask, "If it can use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping/using earth-遁), then use earth-遁 to chase it. Aren't there any people among us who can use earth-遁?"

"Hey, you've really hit the nail on the head. To use Earth Escape, first, you have to be a Great Luo Immortal, and second, you have to master the Way of Earth. We have quite a few people with Earth Spiritual Roots here, but there are far fewer people above the Great Luo level, and not a single one of them knows Earth Escape!"

Lin Chen was stunned. He had previously thought that it was a method used by people who knew earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique), but now he realized that no one really knew earth-遁!
No wonder everyone was surprised that they weren't injured by the fire crocodile. It turns out they simply didn't know the effects of Earth Release!

I overestimated everyone's abilities!

Is there any pattern to the appearance of this Phoenix Fire Spirit?

Upon hearing this, everyone gave a wry smile.

"If there were a pattern, we would have figured it out long ago."

"This thing runs all over the world, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, there's no pattern to it. If I had to pinpoint a pattern, it's that it likes to appear in hot places, but where in this world isn't hot? Even volcanic zones are full of them..."

"Everyone wants to capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit and gain their freedom, but it's not that easy."

"Just take it one day at a time. Instead of hoping to capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit to gain freedom, I'd rather save up more points and exchange them for freedom later."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "How many points do I need to exchange for freedom?"

"Take the example of the six clusters of phoenix fire you obtained in these eight days. If you exchange the extra five clusters of phoenix fire for points, and then exchange all the phoenix fire crystals you obtained for points, and repeat this process a thousand times over eight days, you will basically have enough points to regain your freedom."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "I only got six clusters of Phoenix Fire by luck. How can I repeat that over and over again?"
