Chapter 447

He naturally added another sentence.

Trying his best to chat more with the Phoenix and squeeze out more information.

"What is that thing in your hand?"

"Is it because of that thing that you were able to enter the barrier?"

The Phoenix didn't answer Qin Feng’s words, but instead asked a question of its own.

It clearly didn't hold Qin Feng in high regard; communicating with him was only to obtain information.

Seeing this, Qin Feng didn't honestly answer the Phoenix’s question, but instead said,

"Why are you trapped in this barrier? Is there something here that needs you to guard it?"

Since the Phoenix wouldn't communicate with him, he would ask himself.

If it wouldn't tell him the information he wanted, it shouldn't expect to get any information from him either.

Seeing Qin Feng being so uncooperative, the Phoenix was naturally furious.

It let out a long cry to the sky, lowered its head, and spat out a huge fireball, charging straight at Qin Feng.

This turn of events terrified Beigong Yun and the others.

When they saw Qin Feng speaking to the Phoenix in such a casual and disrespectful manner earlier,

they had already felt something was wrong.

Even though, to them, this Phoenix was a god-like existence,

Qin Feng was more important to them.

So they didn't say much.

They just kept watching, making sure not to let the Phoenix get angry.

But when Qin Feng completely disregarded the Phoenix’s feelings,

not answering its questions and instead asking his own,

Beigong Yun and the others felt that things had gone bad.

Sure enough, the Phoenix was enraged.

However, in reality, no matter how angry the Phoenix was, it was useless.

Because the pass would protect Qin Feng and the others from any harm from anything inside the barrier.

Whether it was the temperature or the Phoenix’s attacks.

So, when the fireball hit the area around Qin Feng,

the pass naturally formed a round protective light shield, shielding Qin Feng inside.

The huge red fireball passed through Qin Feng and, due to inertia, rushed toward Beigong Yun and Zhao Long behind him.

But thanks to the protection of the pass, in the end, the fireball couldn't harm anyone.

It hit the barrier and dissipated.

Turning into large patches of scattered sparks.

Which fell to the ground and then extinguished.

This result made the Phoenix feel very angry.

It kept spitting fireballs at Qin Feng and the others.

But without exception, none of these fireballs could land on them.

In the end, it was all in vain.

At this moment, the others finally stopped worrying.

It was clear that as long as they held the pass, they were absolutely safe within this barrier.

What was there to be afraid of?

"You don't need to waste your effort; in here, you cannot harm us."

"If you still want to know the things you want to know,"

"then you must tell us the things we want to know."

"Give and take, courtesy demands reciprocity; that is the correct way to communicate."

The Phoenix’s anger didn't make Qin Feng empathize; instead, he found it somewhat amusing.

It couldn't read the situation at all; truly a brainless monster.

"Human, do not push your luck."

"Being able to answer my questions is your honor."

The Phoenix was very angry.

It roared and bellowed.

"Then you shouldn't push your luck either; being able to answer my questions is also your honor."

When it came to verbal sparring, Qin Feng had never been afraid of anyone.

"You don't need to roar anymore; it's useless."

"To be honest, we are quite pressed for time; we don't have time to waste on nonsense with you here."

"We are only staying here for one hour."

"After one hour, if you are still unwilling to communicate properly, we will leave."

"At that point, firstly, you still won't be able to get out."

"Secondly, you won't get to know a single thing about the outside world."

Courtesy before force is a traditional virtue of the Huaxia people.

But if the other party is being unreasonable, then Qin Feng had no need to treat this Phoenix politely.

Qin Feng’s words were very blunt, and the Phoenix was clearly even angrier.

But no matter how angry the Phoenix was,

Qin Feng no longer paid it any mind.

Instead, he walked toward Beigong Yun and Zhao Long.

"If this Phoenix refuses to cooperate, it’s useless for us to stay here; it would only benefit it."

"So, from now on, I don't care what sentiments you have toward divine beasts and gods,"

"you are not allowed to answer any of this Phoenix’s questions."

"We will only wait for one hour; after one hour, we will leave and continue searching for other things."

It wasn't that Qin Feng felt the location of the Flame Sun Underground Palace and the Flame Sun Token weren't important.

It was that knowing there would be no result and still wasting time here was a foolish act.

If you know there will definitely be no result, you must cut your losses in time.

"That is true, but you seem to have no... reverence at all."

Although Beigong Yun’s expression was conflicted, he eventually nodded.

Agreeing with Qin Feng’s words.

He felt Qin Feng was right.

Compared to the reverence and awe the people of the Mobius Kingdom had for gods and divine beasts, their goals and plans were clearly more important.

Beigong Yun had always been an idealist.

But his idealism wasn't about pedantically and righteously revering things that were commonly revered in the Mobius Kingdom.

It was about protecting this hard-won peace.

And giving his all to make the Mobius Kingdom better.

Zhao Long, on the other hand, was rather simple-minded.

He didn't have that many beliefs or pursuits; he only knew to follow Beigong Yun.

Whatever Beigong Yun did, he did.

So, seeing that Beigong Yun didn't oppose Qin Feng’s words, he naturally wouldn't either.

But he still had to vent his complaints.

"Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him."

"What do these gods have to do with us?"

"What do these gods have to do with us?"
