Chapter 348 The First Prisoner of the World Tree
Accompanied by a surge of excruciating pain in his brain, fragments of memory hidden in the deepest part of his soul quietly emerged in front of Zhou Xuan's eyes.

The memory began on a tree.

It was a towering tree that was hard to describe.

The dense branches and leaves block out the sun, and the patterns on the trunks are mysterious and majestic, as if they were engraved with all the years of the world over millions of years.

Zhou Xuan's perspective was fixed on the crown of the World Tree, and all he could see before him was a monotonous sky woven from green leaves.

How long did this time last?
How long did Zhou Xuan look at the sky?

Maybe it's thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of years.

No one knew, no one noticed, only the crown of the World Tree was shaking quietly without wind.

The fluorescence fell and rose, rose and fell.

Suddenly, a rustling sound broke the eternal silence.

That was not the sound of leaves shaking, because that came from the roots of the tree.

Zhou Xuan found that he could move his perspective.

So he looked towards the roots of the tree.

snake.

blacksnake.

Groups of giant black pythons had coiled up under the tree roots at some point in time, their bodies covered with scales and their cold snake eyes flashing with golden light.

Countless giant pythons lowered their heads at the same time and kept gnawing at the trunk of the World Tree, but with little success.

They had been gnawing for thousands and millions of years, and Zhou Xuan had also been watching for thousands and millions of years, but the World Tree remained motionless.

The damage the giant python caused to the world tree was not even as fast as its own growth rate.

Why do these giant pythons chew trees?
This question suddenly emerged in Zhou Xuan’s numb and empty mind.

He wanted to leave the World Tree, but found that his body was unable to move.

However, Zhou Xuan found that he had regained his ability to speak without knowing when.

So he shouted at the giant python under the tree roots.

"Hey! Is the trunk of this tree tasty?"

"If it's delicious, can you give me some too?"

"Do you understand what people say?"

Perhaps, those black snakes and giant pythons also felt that Zhou Xuan’s words were too nonsensical, and they had no intention of paying any attention to Zhou Xuan at all.

Maybe they have no hearing at all? Maybe they really can't understand human language?

Zhou Xuan couldn’t figure it out, and no one in the world would understand it.

The World Tree still stands quietly above the earth, its fluorescent light rising and falling.

……

I don’t know how much time had passed, perhaps tens of thousands of years.

During this long time, Zhou Xuan spoke to the group of giant pythons below from time to time. He also gave them names and treated them as his animal friends.

Although his group of friends only knew how to gnaw on tree roots and did not even pursue the great harmony of life.

The number of snakes has remained constant, neither more nor less, neither increasing nor decreasing.

To be honest, making friends with a giant python is something that carbon-based creatures cannot do.

But there was no way, Zhou Xuan still hadn't recovered his ability to move.

Besides the World Tree, the only things in this damn place are these giant pythons.

Zhou Xuan felt like a prisoner, imprisoned forever on the World Tree.

"Why haven't I gone crazy yet?"

"Or...I've actually gone crazy, but I just don't realize it?"

"After all, how can a madman realize that he is mad?"

Zhou Xuan looked at the unchanging green sky and fell into contemplation of life for the umpteenth time.

What he didn't discover was.

Under the tree roots.

For some reason, a giant black snake slowly raised its head and looked at the lush green leaves above the tree roots. What could be on top?

What's that thing that's making those ghostly noises up there?
A big doubt appeared in the black snake's little head.

The black snake does not understand what it is thinking now, representing the most precious qualities of human nature.

curiosity.

Or it could be said that during the black snake's long life, there was no other thought in its mind except gnawing on tree roots.

Why did I suddenly want to climb up and take a look?
Black Snake couldn't figure it out.

But this did not prevent it from stopping gnawing on the tree roots. It left the group of pythons and climbed up the tree roots.

This tree is really tall.

It looks like I'll have to climb for a long, long time.

The black snake climbed up the tree trunk and embarked on a long journey.

……

On an ordinary night millions of years ago, a primitive man did something beyond the instinct for survival: he looked up at the stars.

At that moment the gears of fate began to turn, and humanity would eventually reach the top of this planet without any surprise.

So what happens in the world when a black snake does something beyond its survival instinct?

Unfortunately, Zhou Xuan was not in the mood to think about these philosophical questions.

He was shouting towards the World Tree.

"Come on! Nig!"

"Come on! Nig!"

"Just a little bit more, you'll be climbing up soon!!"

Ever since he discovered that there was a black snake that did not idiotically gnaw on the tree roots every day, but instead crawled up the tree trunk, Zhou Xuan was so surprised!

Although he didn't know why the black snake was crawling upwards, and whether it was an enemy or a friend, it was meaningless to Zhou Xuan.

For a prisoner, change is the greatest gift in the world.

This damn place has finally changed!

Due to his own limitations, Zhou Xuan could not make any innovative changes except looking up at the sky at snakes and shouting in a daze.

But it doesn't matter!

Now a black snake has made a change, and it is about to reach where Zhou Xuan is!
With great excitement, Zhou Xuan gave the name "Nige" specifically to this black snake.

As for the group of unenterprising black snakes below, Zhou Xuan thought that they were no longer worthy of the name.

It is worth mentioning that when Zhou Xuan named these animal friends before, for the sake of convenience, he named them Nig No. 1, Nig No. 2, Nig No. 3... and so on according to their skin color.

I can only thank God that there is no Nig Protection Association on the World Tree, otherwise Zhou Xuan would definitely be tied up and burned to death...

At this time, the black snake finally crawled to Zhou Xuan's side.

It raised its huge black body, and its red-gold snake eyes were filled with fatigue.

It looked at Zhou Xuan, this strange monkey with an excited face, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

No, isn’t this the creature on the treetop that is roaring and screaming?

Black Snake was a little disappointed.

"Why do I seem to see disgust in your eyes?" Zhou Xuan was a little unbelievable. "Could it be that, Nig, you are really an intelligent creature? Otherwise, how could you climb up this tree?"

Although the black snake could not understand Zhou Xuan's words, for some reason, it could roughly understand what Zhou Xuan meant.

So it nodded and made a hissing sound.

"Your nodding means that you really dislike me? Or that you are indeed an intelligent creature?"

Black Snake hesitated for a moment and nodded twice.

Zhou Xuan:......

Shit!

But he quickly calmed down and continued asking.

“Is the trunk delicious?”
