Female Novel
Chapter 2693
Chapter 2693 Benedict took a deep breath as stomped his feet silently. He gave up any words of protest. He wouldhave to go in eventually anyway, and would just be scolded if he continued to drag things. He walked infront of the door with reddened eyes.
When he pushed the door open, he basically had the resolve to die. When everyone saw the doorclose, their moods all sank.
Even Conrad, who had been so full of spirit, shut his mouth as he looked at the door with a conflictedexpression. He believed that everyone who entered that door would have their own plans. After all, itwas impossible to take it by force!
Only by relying on schemes and tricks would they be able to do anything. However, no one had theconfidence that their plans would succeed. Time ticked away, and after about half an hour, there wasmovement behind the door again.
Benedict walked out clutching his arm. Even though he did not need anyone to help him out, he wasstill injured in multiple places. When he got out, Benedict moaned, “I didn’t even dare to get too close.Thankfully, the phoenix is being held back by a chain, or I wouldn’t even have had the chance to comeout.”
When he said that, everyone’s moods sank even further. However, Jackie raised an eyebrow. Earlier,Jackie had been curious. Since it was a spring solidifying realm beast, it would definitely attackviciously if it was angered. Even though Jameson was carted out with his body covered in heavyinjuries, he did not die.
Jackie felt like they would have at least ended up with a broken limb or two even if they were saved,but Jameson’s condition had been better than Jackie expected. On top of that, Benedict’s injuries ledJackie to be even more sure that the phoenix was restricted in some way. Otherwise, the two of themnovelbin
would have only been able to come out with even heavier injuries. If unique chains were restricting thephoenix, then it really should be safe.
In truth, there was no need to ask about the results. Benedict definitely did not manage to get a fruiteither. Elder Maurice sighed. Even though he did not expect anything, he was still a little disappointedto see that Benedict really did return empty-handed.
The next to enter was Claude. At that moment, Claude was incredibly tense, seemingly about to snapat any moment. He felt like there was a huge boulder on his shoulders, about to squash him at anymoment. However, no matter how bad his mental state was, he still had to go in. If he returned empty-handed as well, Elder Maurice would definitely blow up.
Before he entered, Elder Maurice suddenly grabbed Claude’s arm and said, “Listen here, you‘re notallowed to fail this time!”
Claude widened his eyes suddenly, looking like he was about to cry. At that moment, he had alreadylost all his confidence after the last two rounds. Elder Maurice had even told him that he was notallowed to fail, causing him to feel like it was difficult to even breathe.
After Claude entered, Jackie looked at Conrad again. In truth, Jackie did not have much faith in Claudeeither. After all, that guy was only confident at the start. There was no way he could defeat a phoenixwith his meager smarts.
He would probably end up just as heavily injured as Jameson. If Claude lost, then only Jackie wouldremain. If Conrad managed to pull off an unexpected win like during the second stage, then they wouldbe done for. Jackie was actually quite worried at that moment. Elder Maurice and Mr. Zayne werefeeling the same as well. The three of them all looked at the door anxiously. They really wanted to seewhat kind of plan Claude had in mind and whether he had any hopes of winning.
