Chapter 446

Qin Feng approached the Phoenix and stopped not far from its feet.

As they could see, this place was empty save for this single Phoenix.

There really was nothing else.

Even up close, he couldn't detect anything.

"System, is this Phoenix the only thing in this barrier?"

"Are there no other treasures or inheritances?"

Qin Feng didn't think it should be like this.

Looking at the Phoenix’s state, he knew that while this barrier was protecting it,

it was also trapping it.

It served as a protective barrier while simultaneously acting as a containment array.

Why would the person who created the barrier trap this Phoenix here?

There must have been a purpose.

Either to guard some treasure or to guard some kind of inheritance.

It couldn't just be to prevent the Phoenix from going out and causing trouble, could it?

If that were the case, whoever had the strength to seal the Phoenix would have had the strength to kill it back then.

Wouldn't killing it have been a clean, safe, and permanent solution?

Ding-dong, the player has asked a question, the system provides an answer.

[This question involves mission intelligence; player authority is insufficient to answer.]

Involves mission intelligence?

That is to say, this Phoenix, or the space inside this barrier, is related to his mission?

Qin Feng thought about his two remaining main quests and two ordinary quests.

First of all, this definitely had nothing to do with the mission to join the Mobius Academy.

Then, apart from that, the three remaining missions were all related to the ancient ruins.

One was to find the Flame Sun Fruit, one was to find the Flame Sun Underground Palace, and the last was to find the Flame Sun Token.

Based on the analysis of the records, the Flame Sun Fruit should be in the deepest part of the Kaiyuan Secret Realm.

Relatively speaking, it had a clearer location.

Compared to the other two missions, it wasn't as mysterious.

Therefore, Qin Feng basically relied on intuition and analysis.

He temporarily excluded the mission of finding the Flame Sun Fruit.

That left the two remaining missions: finding the Flame Sun Underground Palace and finding the Flame Sun Token.

Although one was a side quest and the other a main quest, they were deeply connected.

It was nine times out of ten, no doubt about it.

"Phoenix, is it? Can you communicate?"

Qin Feng looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the Phoenix before him.

It was the only living thing here besides the three of them.

If there was to be a breakthrough, it should come from this Phoenix.

Qin Feng’s shout naturally caught the Phoenix’s attention.

Or rather, they had already caught its attention the first time they entered.

After all, the space here was only so large.

And this Phoenix’s strength was extremely powerful.

Even if it kept its gaze fixed on the sky, constantly pushing against the top of the barrier to get out, and didn't look down at them,

its senses would definitely have been able to perceive their arrival.

It was just that, to this Phoenix, Qin Feng and the others were

ordinary humans so weak they weren't even worth looking at.

Therefore, the Phoenix didn't even bother to acknowledge them.

So at this moment, the Phoenix remained deaf to Qin Feng’s calls.

It continued to frantically push against the top of the barrier.

"Do you know where the Flame Sun Underground Palace is?"

Qin Feng didn't mind that the Phoenix ignored him; instead, he continued to ask.

According to Qin Feng’s deduction, the Flame Sun Token was very likely inside the Flame Sun Underground Palace.

Therefore, rather than asking about the whereabouts of the Flame Sun Token, it was better to ask about the Flame Sun Underground Palace.

Sure enough, after Qin Feng mentioned the term "Flame Sun Underground Palace,"

the Phoenix suddenly stopped its frantic pushing against the barrier and floated down from the air.

It landed in front of Qin Feng and, for the first time, lowered its head to look at him.

This action by the Phoenix

scared the other companions who were watching the scene through visual sharing.

It also stunned Beigong Yun and Zhao Long, who were right there on the scene.

They didn't understand why Qin Feng was so fond of courting death.

Shouting and yelling in front of such a powerful divine beast.

And he had actually managed to attract the divine beast’s attention.

Was he really not afraid that the divine beast would swallow him in one gulp?

Of course, at the same time, they also remembered that when Qin Feng shouted the first time, the Phoenix hadn't ignored him.

But when he shouted the second sentence, the Phoenix not only responded,

but even deigned to land personally in front of Qin Feng.

Flame Sun Underground Palace? What kind of place was that?

Before this, apart from Qin Feng, no one had ever heard of this place.

But clearly, this Phoenix knew.

"Human, what are you going to the Flame Sun Underground Palace for?"

Upon hearing "Flame Sun Underground Palace," the Phoenix not only stopped in front of Qin Feng,

but even spoke.

And it was actually speaking the same language as them.

"To find the Flame Sun Token."

Qin Feng didn't hide anything and said it directly.

"If you want to go to the Flame Sun Underground Palace, you must first obtain the fruit of the Flame Sun Fruit Tree."

"At the very least, its seeds will do."

"Otherwise, going in is a death sentence."

"What's more, with your current strength, you're as weak as a bug."

"Let alone finding the Flame Sun Token, you won't even be able to get close."

The Phoenix’s sudden long-winded speech surprised Qin Feng.

He hadn't expected this Phoenix to speak to him in such detail.

However, through the Phoenix’s words, Qin Feng could confirm that the Flame Sun Token was indeed inside the Flame Sun Underground Palace.

It seemed the system was always reliable.

The sequence of tasks was always linked, one step after another.

The previous side quest had just asked him to find the seeds of the Flame Sun Fruit Tree.

Its reward was a map of the Flame Sun Underground Palace.

And subsequently, the item for the next quest appeared inside the Flame Sun Underground Palace.

"I already have companions going to find the Flame Sun Fruit."

Since they could talk for now, Qin Feng naturally wouldn't let the conversation break off.
