Chapter 371 Mysterious Eye
Hu Qing remained silent, with a complicated look in his eyes, as if even he himself could not answer this question.
Gu Yang didn't want the giant dragon in front of him to know too much, so he interrupted anxiously, "Hey, Old Dragon, does this opportunity still count? I didn't see anything!"
The dragon was silent for a moment, then tapped the throne gently with its tail. "Since you don't know, I'll allow you to ask again."
It narrowed its eyes warningly. "This time, ask questions the dragon vein can answer."
Hearing this, Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other, and their tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
At least this opportunity was not wasted.
Hu Qing took a deep breath and whispered, "Gu Yang, you..."
Gu Yang waved his hand, a faint smile on his face: "Don't think too much, we are good brothers, forget about the words of thanks."
The dragon looked at them with interest, its whiskers trembling slightly, as if waiting for the next question.
Gu Yang was silent for a long time, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the calluses on his palm.
Finally, he took a deep breath and looked up at the dragon: "What I want to ask is what the next fragment of the holy artifact we obtain will be used for."
A hint of approval flashed in Hu Qing's eyes - this question was very cleverly asked.
Elder Xia marked the locations of three holy artifact fragments for them, but did not specify the order of priority.
If we know the function of one of them in advance, we can not only determine the next step, but also make plans in advance.
The giant dragon let out a low roar, and its gilded claws slowly grasped the mirror.
In an instant, the entire starry sky began to tremble, the Milky Way under feet flowed like a living thing, and countless starlight gathered towards the mirror.
Meteorites overhead collided with each other, emitting dazzling flames. The flying fragments fell into the mirror, transforming into flowing pictures.
The vast snow-capped mountains stretch endlessly, and the blizzard roars across the sky and earth.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang struggled forward in the wind and snow, with Xiao Zi circling in the air behind them.
Suddenly, dozens of giant snow-white beasts rose from the snow. They looked like giant apes, but had six scarlet eyes and fangs with undried flesh and blood.
The scene changed, and everyone started a fierce battle with the snow beast.
Hu Qing's sword cut off the forelimb of a snow beast, and Gu Yang's blade exploded into brilliant flames among the beasts.
Finally, a small snow beast was forced into a dead end. It curled up in a crevice, with the faint light of the holy artifact fragments faintly visible on its chest.
The moment Hu Qing reached out to take out the fragment, something strange happened!
The fragment suddenly burst into a dazzling bloody light, and all the snow beasts howled miserably at the same time, with blood oozing from their eyes, mouths, noses, and even pores.
What was even more terrifying was that Hu Qing and Gu Yang also fell to their knees on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices and died.
The entire snow mountain collapsed in a bloody haze, submerging everything...
"boom!"
The mirror suddenly exploded, and all the images turned into specks of blood and dissipated.
The starry sky suddenly dimmed, and the originally brilliant Milky Way became gray and dull, as if half of its vitality had been sucked away.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood there in a daze, their backs already soaked with cold sweat.
The self in the mirror, covered in blood and with cold eyes, and the fragment in front of them, stained with the blood of the snow beast, both made them feel unprecedentedly unfamiliar.
"Ahem..." Gu Yang laughed dryly, his voice terribly hoarse. "Deduction...deduction doesn't necessarily mean the future, right?"
Hu Qing did not answer immediately. He stared at his slightly trembling hands, and his mind kept replaying the unhesitating action of taking out the fragments.
Is that really him?
Or... under some extreme circumstances, would he really make such a choice?
The giant dragon slowly retracted its claws, and the mirror surface seemed a little illusory.
It looked at the two of them meaningfully: "The dragon vein deduction shows the most likely future."
The molten gold pupils shrank slightly, "But your fate... is ultimately in your own hands."
The dragon's breath was obviously much weaker, and its gilded scales had lost their previous luster. It coughed twice, and its dragon whiskers drooped weakly on the armrests of the throne.
It slowly turned its head to look at Hu Qing, who was still lost in thought, and said in a hoarse voice, "Little fellow, the dragon vein's luck is running out. This is the last chance to deduce."
Hu Qing looked at Gu Yang silently. The latter grinned and raised his hand to punch him lightly in the chest: "Don't think too much. Anyway, we have seen everything we should see. Ask whatever you want."
Gu Yang's words made him feel even more guilty. Taking a deep breath, Hu Qing turned and faced the cracked mirror.
His voice was soft, yet filled with undeniable determination: "I want to know where the purple-haired monk who was imprisoned in the cell next to mine that day is now."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yang immediately came forward, with curiosity glittering in his eyes.
The mirror suddenly vibrated violently, and the remaining galaxy beneath its feet surged like a boiling pot, with countless starlight condensing into brilliant lines that shot up into the sky.
The meteorites floating in the void were pulled by these light streams and smashed into the mirror like a rainstorm.
What is amazing is that the mirror swallowed up all the meteorites without causing even a ripple.
A new picture slowly emerged——
Pure darkness.
The darkness was so thick that it seemed to swallow up all light; not even the faint glow of the stars could penetrate.
Just as Hu Qing frowned, a huge eye suddenly opened in the depths of the darkness!
The scarlet vertical pupils almost occupied the entire mirror surface, with lava-like lines flowing in the pupils.
Just by looking at him, Hu Qing felt an indescribable sense of oppression, as if a mountain was pressing directly on his soul.
What’s even more terrifying is that the eyes seemed to have noticed their prying eyes!
"what?"
A doubtful voice exploded directly in the minds of the two. The voice seemed to come from eternity, with indescribable majesty.
"Click——"
The mirror shattered!
Hu Qing and Gu Yang screamed at the same time and fell to their knees.
Blood gushed from their eyes, and the severe pain almost made them faint.
It felt like someone had poked a red-hot iron rod directly into their eyeballs!
"Roar--!"
The giant dragon also rolled over on the throne in pain, and its scales peeled off in large pieces.
It roared madly: "What on earth have you provoked?! This is definitely a Golden Immortal-level being!"
Before the two could answer, the dragon suddenly raised its claws and kicked them hard.
Hu Qing felt dizzy, and the next moment, he and Gu Yang had passed through the void and fell heavily to the ground in front of the Sword God and Zhou Li.
"puff!"
The two of them spurted out a mouthful of blood at the same time.
Hu Qing's vision was blurred, and he could only vaguely see the Sword God's face suddenly changing color, and Xiao Zi's purple figure rushing towards him in panic.
The last thing I heard was Zhou Li's terrified cry:
"Why did the deduction mirror shatter? Why did the luck of my Great Zhou Dynasty disappear completely?!"
The darkness surged like a tide, completely submerging Hu Qing and the other man.
In his last moments before losing consciousness, that giant scarlet eye remained etched in his mind, lingering...
