Chapter 866

"I wasn't attacked," Qin Feng said as he sat up from the ground.

His head was still buzzing.

It felt as if he had been fiercely hammered by something.

To say the least, the symptoms were similar to a moderate concussion.

"You should all know about things like bloodline talents."

"Coincidentally, I have one."

"My bloodline talent is called the Eye of Truth."

"It can see through all illusions and perceive the truest state of things."

"But because this bloodline talent is actually very powerful in certain aspects,"

"I have no way to control it with my current strength."

"I can only use it very briefly and at low frequency."

"I just used the Eye of Truth to look at this mountain."

"Because the power within this mountain is too vast,"

"while I was using the Eye of Truth to see through it, I was also backlashed by its immense power."

"My current situation is that I won't be able to use the Eye of Truth again for a short time."

"But apart from the burning pain in my eyes and a splitting headache, I haven't suffered any substantial damage."

"It won't affect my actions."

Qin Feng had no intention of hiding the existence of the Eye of Truth.

Later, whether in the Kaiyuan Secret Realm or in the ancient ruins,

or even in the subsequent Battlefield of a Hundred Kingdoms,

it might actually be used.

And these people were mostly those who would be participating in these ruin explorations with him,

or those executing the plan.

If he had to avoid his teammates every time he used it,

that would be too troublesome.

Besides, Lin An already knew.

It's the same old saying:

as long as one person other than yourself knows, a secret is no longer a secret.

There was no great need for secrecy.

"It's good that you're okay."

Hearing that Qin Feng was fine, they set their minds at ease.

Compared to exploring the secret realm, they had always considered Qin Feng to be more important.

Especially the Dean of the Mobis Academy,

who had repeatedly urged Beigong Shang and the others before they set off

to prioritize Qin Feng's safety above all else.

Qin Feng would become their trump card on the Battlefield of a Hundred Kingdoms in the future.

Once their minds were at ease, they didn't even find it strange that Qin Feng possessed such a special bloodline talent.

It seemed that after the Dean of the Mobis Academy's repeated warnings,

they felt that no matter what special traits Qin Feng had, it would be hard to surprise them anymore.

"What did you see just now that caused you to suffer a backlash?"

After confirming that Qin Feng was safe and sound, they refocused their attention on this mysterious hill.

And they asked Qin Feng about what he had seen.

"I saw a living animal."

If Qin Feng guessed correctly, it should have been a phoenix.

A phoenix with its whole body burning with flames,

only Qin Feng didn't know if a phoenix was also called a phoenix in this world.

"It was a creature that, although slightly similar to a chicken, you could tell at a glance that it was essentially completely different."

"Its body was sleek and graceful, its wings were enormous, and its colors were bright and vivid, predominantly red."

"Its entire body was burning with bright flames."

Because he didn't know if a phoenix was also called a phoenix in this world,

Qin Feng didn't directly name the phoenix.

Instead, he described the appearance of the phoenix he had seen.

"A Fire-Bathing Phoenix!"

After Qin Feng described the phoenix's appearance, Beigong Yun and Zhao Long said it almost in unison at the very first moment.

Very good, it seems a phoenix is also called a phoenix in this real world.

"It seems you are both very knowledgeable about phoenixes."

Since both of them had called out the name of the phoenix in unison and without hesitation,

Qin Feng thought they were both quite knowledgeable about phoenixes.

And looking at this posture, the creature known as a phoenix truly existed in this world and was widely known to people,

unlike on Earth, where the phoenix was just a legend.

Although many people firmly believed that both dragons and phoenixes existed,

in fact, no one could produce any evidence.

"Knowledgeable? I wouldn't dare say that."

Who knew that Beigong Yun and Zhao Long would refute Qin Feng's words in unison again.

"The creature known as a phoenix is just a legend; none of us have ever seen one."

"We have only seen descriptions of phoenixes in the library of the academy."

"But that was an incomplete ancient book, and no one knows if that book speaks of real events or if it was fabricated by predecessors."

"That ancient book is very popular in the academy, and most students have read it."

"But no one dares to judge whether the creature described in that book truly exists."

Alright, so it turns out the people of the Mobis Kingdom also don't know if phoenixes truly exist.

It seems this was also the first time Beigong Yun and the others had encountered something related to a phoenix.

However, although the people of the Mobis Kingdom didn't know if phoenixes truly existed,

looking at the scene before him, Qin Feng had to believe that what he saw was indeed a phoenix.

Seeing is believing.

At the very least, Qin Feng dared to be certain at this moment

that the creature known as a phoenix indeed exists in this real world.

Even if it doesn't exist in a small corner of the world like the Mobis Kingdom, it would exist elsewhere in this world.
