Chapter 1079 - 1077: Divination
At Pei Xin City Railway Station, after a seven-day train ride, Gu Xi finally left Bailian City and entered Pei Xin City.
This time, for some unknown reason, the train detoured, stretching the original route to seven days.
If it weren’t for the relative safety on the train, and the fact that Gu Xi brought along a large number of books to read and study, he feared he would have died of boredom on this journey.
Fortunately, everything is over now.
Carrying the Illusion Magic Wand, Gu Xi tidied up his clothes and leisurely stepped off the train.
Unlike the messy train station of Bailian City, the exit of Pei Xin City Railway Station was quite orderly.
Various taxis, flying cars, and horse-drawn carriages lined up in a row.
No matter your preference, you could choose whatever mode of transportation you liked first.
However, Gu Xi didn’t rush to catch a ride. Instead, he found a restroom and secretly opened a crack in the Main City Gate, letting out a few little foxes.
After staying in Yalidu City for seven days, the little foxes had turned pale.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t adapt to the Undead aura of Yalidu City. These little foxes could usually live and practice in the Graveyard.
Although Yalidu City had a strong Undead aura, it did not greatly affect them in just a few days.
Their condition was entirely due to the food in Yalidu City.
Despite Gu Xi’s adjustments and the tavern upgrade, the foods in Yalidu City still had some human flavor.
Grilled Owl and Mouse Soup had already disappeared from the market.
Gu Xi slowly had some edible food options.
Even if these little foxes ate something like Mouse Soup, they could survive.
But who would have thought that these little foxes each had their own spirituality?
They set their eyes on the alcoholic beverages and foods meant only for the Undead.
As a result, they wanted to try the taste of Undead food.
This attempt nearly killed them.
For seven days, they repeated the cycle of eating, vomiting, diarrhea, and eating again.
Being able to survive was already due to their strong stomachs.
If ordinary people acted this way, they would have long become a part of Yalidu City.
After letting the little foxes out, Gu Xi was puzzled.
What was wrong with these guys?
"Are you all right?"
"No problem, benefactor. Have we arrived at Pei Xin City?"
The leading little fox wobbled as it asked Gu Xi.
"Yes, we have arrived at Pei Xin City. Do you all wish to go on alone, or should I help you find someone?"
"No need to trouble the benefactor. Let my brothers and sisters leave on their own. I wish to stay and perform one last divination for you."
The little fox kept its word, not leaving as soon as they arrived at Pei Xin City, and earnestly said to Gu Xi.
"Perhaps the benefactor does not know, as a Divination Master, besides the special divination due to Talent Activation, only the first and last divination are the most effective.
This time, I will definitely provide accurate information for the benefactor."
After the little fox spoke, it turned and said a few words to its companions, then turned to the palest among them and said, "Little brother, it’s up to you to take care of our siblings from here on out.
You know the routes, and over the past seven days, everyone has suffered with you. Your strength has also improved. Protect the siblings and lead them away safely."
"Brother!"
"I’m fine; everything I do is for the destiny of a Divination Master.
When I first learned divination, I already foresaw my fate. You should leave quickly."
The little fox chittered twice and saw its siblings out of the restroom.
Gu Xi noticed that as soon as they rushed out of the restroom, they darted in different directions, moving even faster than sound.
With just a turn, all the little foxes disappeared, leaving only the one that initially spoke to Gu Xi.
"Benefactor, I can begin now.
What would you like to have divined? If there are no other requests, I’ll divine for the great peril you must face."
Upon hearing the little fox, Gu Xi was unsure what to request for divination.
From observing its situation, Gu Xi realized something.
It had some divination skill but was probably not very strong.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t risk its life to predict one person’s future.
To predict the fate of a city, or even a Game World, would turn the little fox to ashes without any result.
Instead, divining a segment of Gu Xi’s future might be more reliable.
"No need for anything else. Since you’ve mentioned I will face a great peril, then divine that peril.
I don’t want to be extinguished at the last gate after struggling so hard to grow."
"All right!"
The little fox said decisively to Gu Xi.
"Benefactor, once this divination begins, my life is over. Everything that follows will be out of control.
I will undoubtedly say a few words at the end. Please remember these words carefully.
After I die, remove my skull and wrap it in my skin.
In a quiet place, use these words for Activation. That way, you can see the fate I divined."
After giving these instructions, the little fox began its ritual in the restroom.
Though the restroom is a place of impurity and unsuitable for divination or wishing activities,
traditionally, for divination or wishes, one should bathe, change clothes, and light incense.
Only an animal Divination Master like the little fox would do it in a restroom.
But the little fox didn’t care, as it was risking its life.
Gu Xi didn’t know, as he didn’t understand divination.
Thus, the two proceeded with the divination concerning Gu Xi’s future fate in such a place.
As the little fox’s eyes went blank, a squeaky sound emerged from its mouth.
Previously, Gu Xi understood the little fox’s chatter because it was meant for him to understand.
But now, with its full focus on the divination, the little fox paid no heed to Gu Xi, and for a moment, Gu Xi couldn’t understand what it was saying.
Despite this, Gu Xi listened intently, fearing to miss any word.
After about seven or eight minutes, the little fox’s eyes rolled back, showing a large amount of white.
At the same time, its voice became ethereal, and comprehensible to Gu Xi.
"Remember, the Third Battle of Creation, the Black world, the mission related to flames, ambush at a critical position, Octopus Head enemy, and Orange trap.
Remember my words, the eye of the Fox Divination Master exists in the sky."
As soon as the little fox finished speaking, its upturned eyes rolled back completely, revealing only white.
When Gu Xi came back to his senses and moved forward to check on the little fox, he found it had long since died.
