Chapter 349: The Birth of the Black King Nidhogg

How can tree roots be delicious?
It's dry and spicy, tastes like chewing wax, and is hard to swallow.

Is there something wrong with this strange monkey?
There was a puzzled light flashing in the black snake's red-gold pupils, and it stared at Zhou Xuan in silence.

Zhou Xuan noticed the emotions in Black Snake's eyes, and he couldn't help but realize that his question was a little irrelevant.

"Ahem..." Zhou Xuan coughed twice, suppressed his excitement, and said in a serious tone, "Come to think of it, when did you black snakes come here?"

The black snake shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Then why do you keep gnawing at the roots of this tree?"

The black snake seemed to be stumped by this question, and his eyes were confused for a moment.

Yes.

Why do I keep gnawing at the roots of this tree?

The tree root is not tasty, and after gnawing for a long time the tree doesn't get any smaller. It grows even faster than it's being gnawed.

So, why am I chewing on this thing?

As the thinking deepened, there seemed to be a faint white smoke coming out from the black snake's head.

"Stop! I said stop!" Zhou Xuan immediately told the black snake to stop thinking.

Obviously, this problem has far exceeded the computing power of the CPU in the black snake's brain.

What if you ask this hard-earned animal friend questions that make him dumbfounded?
God knows when the next time a black snake will climb this tree!?

However, Zhou Xuan was still very curious about the answer to this question.

Where do the black snakes come from?

Why are they gnawing at this tree again?
What is this tree?
While thinking, Zhou Xuan observed the black snake in front of him and the group of snakes under the tree roots.

Gradually, he discovered some clues.

As we all know, eating is an instinct in the genes of living things.

The acquisition of food can meet the various physiological needs of organisms and maintain the continuation and development of life.

So for black snakes, are the roots of this tree their food?

Is it the key to maintaining life continuation and development?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan looked carefully at the black snake in front of him.

He found that compared to the group of black snakes below, this black snake was obviously much smaller in size and its mental state was very depressed.

Apparently, the long tree-climbing journey meant that the black snake didn't get to chew on too many tree roots.

In short, the snake may have been severely malnourished and even dying!

This is not good!
Zhou Xuan's heart tightened.

He didn't want his black snake friend to die so soon.

"Speaking of which, can you eat the leaves or branches here? If you can, take a nibble on them." Zhou Xuan said to the black snake.

To his disappointment, the black snake quickly shook its head, and its eyes were filled with fear and terror of the unknown as it looked towards the treetops.

"Being picky about food is not a good habit." Zhou Xuan was a little distressed, "Can you only eat the roots below?"

Black Snake thought for a moment and nodded.

Zhou Xuan looked at the small body and head of the black snake, then looked at the group of extremely sturdy black snakes below.

hiss……

If this guy goes down now, won’t he be crushed to death by the tail of his own species?
Moreover, if you look closely, it seems that not all of the tree roots are edible. Only a small part of them can be eaten, and that part has already been blocked by the snakes.

It was obvious that this malnourished black snake had no chance of competing with its brothers and sisters.

Could it be that this guy is going to starve to death?

After finally getting rid of his biological instincts and climbing up this giant tree with great difficulty, he died of hunger?
This ending is too damn ironic! ?
A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind?

Compared to the dull masses, being awake has become a sin?
Zhou Xuan was thinking wildly in his mind, thinking about how to save his animal friend.

Suddenly, a ghostly idea came into his mind.

Zhou Xuan looked at the black snake with a deep gaze.

He hesitated for two seconds and said softly, "You said... can the black snake below be your food?"

The black snake was suddenly startled, and looked at Zhou Xuan with disbelief in his eyes.

There is also a fear that is difficult to conceal. …

I don’t know how many years have passed.

There was no longer any black snake under the tree.

Only an extremely huge black dragon was left.

The giant dragon's wings covering the sky flapped slightly, causing a howling gale.

Unlike the arduous first time climbing the tree, the black dragon reached the tree canopy again in an instant.

"Friend, I'm leaving." Black Dragon's voice was as loud as thunder.

"Is that so?" Zhou Xuan, who was sitting on the tree trunk, looked gloomy.

Unknown how many tens of thousands of years had passed since he first met the black dragon.

The skinny black snake that once climbed up a tree has now grown into a giant dragon that covers the sky and the sun.

As the black dragon grew, Zhou Xuan gradually regained control of his body, but for some reason he still couldn't leave the giant tree.

As for the black dragon.

It found a way to leave long, long ago, but has not left for two reasons.

First, Zhou Xuan was the first friend in its life and also its mentor who showed it the way forward.

Without Zhou Xuan's ghostly ideas, the black snake would have died on the tree canopy long ago and would not have had the possibility of growing into the giant dragon it is today.

It can't let go of its friends.

Secondly, perhaps because it had devoured too many of its own kind, the black dragon's consciousness began to show symptoms similar to split personality.

There are two consciousnesses, or two souls, in its body.

One is ferocious and brutal, full of bestiality; the other is peaceful and gentle, just like a human.

Zhou Xuan named the former dragon nature and the latter human nature.

This towering tree seemed to have some incomprehensible magic that could help the black dragon maintain its humanity and suppress its dragon nature.

What will happen to the Black Dragon if he leaves here?
Nobody knows.

So, is it possible that the black dragon will be trapped beside this tree forever?

The answer is naturally no.

The yearning for freedom is a nature deeply buried in the souls of all intelligent creatures.

Just like an eagle destined to soar in the blue sky, no one can trap it in a cage forever, because the light of freedom shines on every feather of its.

"My friend, I will come back to see you. I hope you can escape from this cage as soon as possible."

The black dragon flapped its wings and stayed in the air in front of Zhou Xuan.

The wind created by the dragon wings blew Zhou Xuan's long hair wildly.

He took a deep breath and hid all other emotions in his eyes, leaving only the calmness and gentleness as soft as jade.

"Okay." Zhou Xuan smiled faintly, "Next time we meet, remember to tell me what the outside world is like."

"Okay." Black Dragon nodded.

"By the way, my friend, I don't know why I feel that the name Nig doesn't seem to suit me. I want to change a new name based on this."

"what name?"

"Nidhogg."

……

So much for the memory fragment.

Zhou Xuan gradually woke up, and his thoughts were in a mess for a while.
