Chapter 867

No one had ever truly seen a phoenix.

Their judgment of the object before them came entirely from their own cognition.

Even if they felt that nine times out of ten, this thing was a phoenix,

no one could guarantee it for certain.

Furthermore, even if it were confirmed to be a phoenix,

then what? What were they supposed to do?

"Anyway, this barrier can only have two functions."

"One is to protect the things inside the barrier from being harmed by outside forces."

"And the other is to seal the things inside the barrier to prevent them from harming the outside world."

"If it's the first type, it's easy to talk about."

"If it's the second type, once we break this barrier, it might cause a disaster."

"And the first ones to be killed would very likely be the three of us."

Looking at the unremarkable red hill before him, Zhao Long sighed, truly out of ideas.

"You can't even open the barrier yet, and you're already considering what happens after you open it."

Beigong Yun was very helpless regarding Zhao Long's words and couldn't help but complain.

As for this current barrier, they couldn't even see it.

For something they couldn't see or touch, they had no way to find a way to break it,

let alone what would happen after breaking it.

"Although there's no clue, we can't just give up like this."

"If this red hill is really just an illusion and there is indeed a phoenix inside, then this is too important for us."

Qin Feng was also unwilling to give up just like that.

Although there was no evidence to suggest that the phoenix was related to his mission,

regardless of whether it was related or not, this was a massive opportunity.

And he felt that it was very likely highly related.

Qin Feng's intuition had always been very accurate.

"Although you might have only suffered a backlash for an instant, besides the phoenix, did you see any traces of a barrier or spatial folding?"

After Qin Feng suffered the backlash, what he described was only the form of the phoenix.

But since there was a sealing or protective barrier, there should have been traces.

Since Qin Feng's Eye of Truth could see the things inside this barrier, it should also have been able to see the barrier.

"I saw it, and I remembered it. If needed, I can draw out what I saw at any time."

Because Qin Feng himself hadn't intended to look for long, only for a few seconds,

he had focused his attention on everything before him from the very beginning,

carefully recording everything he saw.

Therefore, even though he only looked for one second before being backlashed and forced to close the Eye of Truth,

it did not affect Qin Feng's ability to remember what he saw.

This red hill was indeed a phoenix.

But this phoenix looked very painful.

It was surrounded by a huge, dense cage made of red patterns.

And these red patterns should be the formation lines of the array.

At the very least, in Qin Feng's field of vision, what he saw was not spatial folding,

but a very complex and vast array,

or rather, a barrier.

"You remembered it all? Can you remember it just by looking at it once?"

Beigong Yun looked at Qin Feng in surprise; even though he knew Qin Feng's mental power was high, this was higher than he could have imagined.

Array lines are things that would make an ordinary person feel dizzy or even faint just by looking at them once.

To want to remember them, one must absolutely possess extremely vast mental power

to be able to read these formed array lines like reading a book or newspaper normally.

If Qin Feng could really see clearly and remember the patterns before him, how high must his mental power be!

"You better hurry up, I'll forget in a while."

Qin Feng knew nothing about arrays and naturally didn't know this basic prerequisite for observing array lines,

but he also sensed the problem in his own words from Beigong Yun's reaction,

so he hurriedly changed the subject.

Although what he said was also true.

His memory was already very high due to his mental power,

and he could remember seven or eight out of ten things he saw once.

But for such vast and complex array lines, Qin Feng had only looked at them once.

Even if he had temporarily remembered them due to his high mental tension,

he couldn't guarantee how long he could remember them.

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry and write it down."

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Beigong Yun didn't care if it was a change of subject or the truth,

and hurriedly took out paper and pen, letting Qin Feng quickly draw the array lines.

They naturally carried a large pile of paper and pens with them, as they had to draw maps.

Qin Feng took the pen and hurriedly drew the array lines from his memory onto the paper.

It was fine when he drew the first and second strokes.

By the time Qin Feng drew the third stroke, forming a small circuit,

the paper under his hand suddenly ignited.

Almost in an instant, it turned into a fireball and finally became ashes.

Blown by the wind, not even a scrap was left.

And the pen in his hand also immediately self-ignited.

If Qin Feng hadn't thrown it away quickly, his hand would likely have been burned.

"Ordinary paper and pen cannot carry the array lines?"

"What's going on?"

Qin Feng and Beigong Yun said almost in unison.

But the words they spoke were completely different.

Qin Feng reacted immediately that it was very likely that ordinary paper and pen could not carry a powerful array,

and perhaps could not even express its ordinary form.
