Chapter 449: Mission Intelligence

"To be honest, I still can't believe that the Sunset Empire has perished."

"So, I couldn't possibly know how the Sunset Empire perished."

"But I can tell you some things about the Sunset Empire."

The Phoenix’s attitude at this moment had undergone a earth-shattering change from the beginning.

And the turning point of this change lay in learning about the fall of the Sunset Empire.

"In this Eastern Continent, there are four great empires."

"These four great empires are the masters of humanity on this land."

"Their strength is on par."

"But if one really had to compare, the strength of the Sunset Empire was vaguely stronger than the other three empires."

"It could be considered the strongest empire."

"And besides human forces, the Eastern Continent also has vast monster forces."

"Just as human forces are a scattered sand, competing with each other,"

"the monster forces are also not united as one."

"Our Phoenix clan, the Dragon clan, as well as the Qilin clan and the Taotie clan,"

"are the four giants in the monster world on this continent."

"The strength between the four giants and the four empires,"

"in fact, still has a certain gap."

"Because although the individual strength of humans is mostly not as good as powerful monster clans like the Dragon and Phoenix clans,"

"our numbers are small, while humans are numerous."

"And, among humans, brilliant and talented powerhouses often appear."

"Therefore, the overall strength of humans is stronger than that of the monsters."

"At least, in the era when I met the Flame King,"

"the Flame King was the strongest of the four empires. He was also the strongest in the entire Eastern Continent."

"All humans and all monsters were no match for him."

"And I, was the strongest of the Phoenix clan."

"I originally wanted to challenge my father and become the patriarch of the Phoenix clan."

"I didn't expect to be trapped here halfway by this guy, who insisted on making me his mount."

"Causing me to fail to become the patriarch."

"But humans are really strange; the strongest person is not the master of humanity."

This Phoenix was speaking quite normally at first, but as it spoke, it went off-topic.

It started talking about itself.

It sounded like a complaint.

Venting its dissatisfaction with indignation.

This Phoenix only knew this much about human affairs.

After all, it usually wasn't very interested in humans.

Nor did it go to places where humans gathered.

Qin Feng was already quite satisfied with this.

As for the so-called four great empires, although the Sunset Empire had perished,

surely new empires would rise.

As for why they hadn't heard of these empires,

it was very likely because their strength wasn't enough.

Qin Feng thought of the plan for the Hundred Nations Battlefield.

Where did the thing that over a hundred kingdoms were fighting fiercely for come from?

It couldn't be just some random person.

What kind of person could suppress over a hundred countries and make them break their heads over it?

It should be a major power.

But, what kind of major power?

Could it be a vast empire of the same level as these four great empires?

Not just Qin Feng, everyone who heard the Phoenix’s words through the soul chain basically had such a guess in their hearts.

Except for Zhao Long, the simpleton.

They, all the people participating in the Hundred Nations Battlefield plan,

only knew that they had to fight for something for their country.

But what exactly this thing was, and where it came from, the Dean of Mobius Academy hadn't told them.

It wasn't that they hadn't asked, but the Dean always said it wasn't the right time.

Knowing too early would bring them psychological burden.

But in the end, they had guessed it in advance today.

The pressure was indeed there.

But they were all geniuses, so they wouldn't be crushed by this pressure.

"You've finished asking your questions, right? Shouldn't it be my turn to ask?"

Seeing Qin Feng and the others fall silent, the Phoenix began to get restless again.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, I have two last questions."

Who would have thought, Qin Feng waved his hand, indicating he hadn't finished asking.

This made the Phoenix angry again.

But angry to the end, it also found it had no choice, and could only answer honestly.

"From your words just now, it can be determined that to find the Flame Sun Token, one must enter the Flame Sun Underground Palace."

"To enter the Flame Sun Underground Palace, one must find the Flame Sun Fruit."

"So, where is the Flame Sun Fruit Tree?"

"What are the conditions for picking the Flame Sun Fruit, and will there be any danger?"

"And in what direction is the Flame Sun Underground Palace specifically?"

"And where in the Flame Sun Underground Palace is the Flame Sun Token?"

Asking this much was enough.

This was the ultimate goal of their team entering the Kaiyuan Secret Realm, and also Qin Feng’s ultimate goal.

Upon hearing Qin Feng ask these questions, everyone connected in the soul chain perked up.

They all wanted to know the specific location of the Flame Sun Fruit Tree and the conditions for picking it.

As for the other two things Qin Feng asked about, which they had never even heard of,

as long as Qin Feng didn't take the initiative to explain, they wouldn't ask.

After all, everyone had their own secrets.

Qin Feng had exposed part of his secrets to get information from the Phoenix.

They couldn't push their luck and want to probe more of Qin Feng’s secrets.

Being able to get this information was thanks to Qin Feng; it could be considered a free ride.

People shouldn't be greedy.

And if it weren't for them having such good qualities,

Qin Feng wouldn't have trusted them from the beginning.

And they wouldn't have been able to get to where they were today.

"The Flame Sun Fruit Tree is in the Flame King’s courtyard."

"There’s nothing to pay attention to when picking the Flame Sun Fruit."

"For you humans, the only thing you need to pay attention to,"

"is that the temperature of the Flame Sun Fruit is too high, and it’s a fruit that looks like fire."

"Its surface always has flames burning, and for humans of your strength, touching it means death."

"However, don't you have this thing protecting you? It should be fine for you."

"As for the Flame Sun Underground Palace, the Flame Sun Fruit Tree is in the Flame King’s back garden, so the Flame Sun Underground Palace must be underground in his back garden."

"The Flame Sun Underground Palace itself is the Flame King’s territory."

"If I hadn't been trapped in his mansion for a while, I wouldn't have known such a place existed."

"However, the Flame Sun Underground Palace sounds like a very hot place."

"But in reality, the temperature inside is extremely low."

"It is the complete opposite of the back garden where the Flame Sun Fruit Tree is planted."

"If you don't eat the Flame Sun Fruit, once you enter the underground palace, you will be frozen into ice cubes."

"When the wind blows, you will turn into powder, no different from being burned to ashes by fire."

"Even if I enter the Flame Sun Underground Palace, I would have to shiver a few times."

"The flames on my body would also extinguish, and my strength would be greatly reduced."

"But the problem is, the temperature of the Flame Sun Fruit is too high for you; you have no way to eat it."

"But if you don't eat it, you can't enter the Flame Sun Underground Palace; tell me, what’s the use of you asking this?"

The Phoenix’s cooperative attitude was getting better and better, so its answers were relatively more detailed.

This made Qin Feng very satisfied.

He decided that when answering the Phoenix’s questions later, he would be as detailed as possible.

This was called courtesy demands reciprocity.

"As for where the Flame Sun Token is, I don't know that either."

"The Flame Sun Token is an important token in the Flame King’s hand, something used to command a million troops."

"He certainly wouldn't let a monster like me, who hadn't become his mount yet, know."

"However, he once said that the Flame Sun Underground Palace was specifically for storing the Flame Sun Token."

"So, that thing must be in the Flame Sun Underground Palace."

Qin Feng only wanted to ask this much for now.

As for other questions, asking this Phoenix, it wouldn't know either.

"Do you two have any other questions you want to ask? Ask quickly, once you're done, it will be our turn to answer."

By then, if you want to ask anything else, you might not be able to get an answer.

The others naturally understood the subtext in Qin Feng’s words.

But they really had nothing left to ask.

Regarding human forces, the Phoenix had said everything it knew.

Moreover, whether those forces from that time could continue to the present was a question.

Even a vast empire like the Sunset Empire had perished.

Let alone other empires.

Therefore, the division of forces at that time had no meaning for them.

In the end, they only asked a few questions about the classification of monster races.

Because compared to human empires,

monster races might exist for longer.

But this Phoenix was clearly also a simpleton.

Its intelligence among Phoenixes was probably equivalent to Zhao Long’s intelligence among them.

So, asking it would only yield information about the four giants.

As for the small monsters below,

the Phoenix really couldn't explain clearly.

"It’s finally my turn to ask questions; you humans have so many things."

It was finally time for the Phoenix to feel proud.

It let out a long cry to the sky, emitting an extremely clear chirp.

Subsequently, most of the irritability on its body disappeared.

Its eyes looking at Qin Feng and the others were bright enough to be chilling.

"What is that thing in your hands? Is it this thing that allowed you to enter this barrier?"

The Phoenix still had that same question.

Because its only goal now was to leave this barrier.
