Dragon Clan: My Word Spirit is refreshed every week

Chapter 347 Nidhogg: Zhou Xuan, my friend!

As we all know, when masters compete, they often plan carefully before taking action, and respond to ever-changing circumstances with the same strategy.

Acting rashly is a very bad choice because it will give your opponent a chance to see your flaws.

Therefore, in a duel between masters, they will never make hasty moves first, but will confront each other for a long time, looking for flaws.

The main strategy is that if the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move.

Therefore, Zhou Xuan was caught in a dilemma at this time.

If he acted rashly before thoroughly understanding Nidhogg's background, it would be very likely that Nidhogg would seize the opportunity and take the lead.

But if Zhou Xuan continued to stand there and confront Nidhogg, the cloud of light floating down from the World Tree would immediately cover him.

Is that fluorescent cloud good or evil, a blessing or a curse?

Zhou Xuan had no conclusion on this.

How to do?
Zhou Xuan was extremely anxious, his brain was racing, trying desperately to think of a way to break the impasse.

Got it!

A light bulb went off in Zhou Xuan's head, and he suddenly thought of a piece of knowledge about survival in the wild.

As we all know, if you encounter a bear in the wild, you must not panic and just slide into the bear's belly... No, you should raise your hands high, slowly back away, and speak loudly to show the bear that you are not to be trifled with. This will give it a sense of threat and prevent it from acting rashly.

Although Nidhogg is not a bear or something, from a biological point of view, it is just a giant lizard that is a billion times more powerful.

In other words, Nidhogg = big lizard.

Lizards are reptiles, and bears can crawl, too.

So, Nidhogg = lizard ≈ bear.

To sum up, Nidhogg ≈ bear.

Therefore, the same method of dealing with bears in the wild is also applicable to Nidhogg, which is reasonable...

What the hell!
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath and put all the nonsense in his mind behind him.

At this moment, a majestic and loud voice like a bell suddenly sounded.

"Why avoid it?"

Zhou Xuan:?
He raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

It was the Black King Nidhogg.

Zhou Xuan's thoughts suddenly became a little confused.

At your age, you can only speak human language?
No, that's not the point.

The point is, is there any need for conversation between you and me?
As the final boss of the level, shouldn't you fight me to the death?

But Zhou Xuan understood that if Nidhogg was willing to talk, it would definitely be a good thing.

Being able to communicate means being able to negotiate, and being able to negotiate means being able to exchange interests and coexist peacefully.

Zhou Xuan is not a born violent person. He would rather quarrel than use force.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan's face straightened, he pondered for two seconds, and then spoke slowly.

"Why not avoid it?"

"Because there is no need. You and I were both born from the World Tree. How could it hurt you?" Nidhogg slowly crawled back to the roots of the tree. "It seems that time has made you lose too many memories, my friend."

Zhou Xuan:?
friend!?
How come I don’t even remember that I have a friend as destructive as you?
Zhou Xuan's heart was racing, but that didn't stop him from taking a step back and avoiding the place where the fluorescent cloud fell.

Looking at Nidhogg who had returned to his original position, Zhou Xuan knew that the Black King had no intention of fighting with him.

"If he wasn't prepared to fight me to the death, why did he drag me here?"

Zhou Xuan was very confused.

"Just catching up on the past." Nidhogg seemed to have seen through Zhou Xuan's thoughts, "I have been lingering under this tree for nearly ten thousand years since my death."

"Sometimes I really wonder, am I the king sitting high on the throne, or am I just a prisoner of the world tree?" Having said this, Nidhogg raised his head and looked towards the sky.

The extremely dense crown of the World Tree had already completely covered the sky, leaving only the lush and extremely monotonous green.

"Do you believe in fate, my friend?" Nidhogg looked at Zhou Xuan.

"Destiny?" Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, I don't understand this thing called fate." Nidhogg said in a daze, "Does each of us have our own different fate, or are we just drifting aimlessly in the wind?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xuan looked at Nidhogg deeply and fell silent.

In his impression, Nidhogg shouldn't be so sentimental.

The Black King should be a cruel, brutal, supreme and powerful monarch.

Countless ancient books on the dragon clan's history, as well as the descriptions of Lady White King and the little devil, all prove that the Black King was cruel, tyrannical, and cold-blooded.

So, what is going on now?

Is Nidhogg lying? Or are the White King and the Little Devil lying?

Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and slowly said: "Be frank, Nidhogg."

"My time is precious. I don't have the time to sit here and listen to your nonsense."

These are Zhou Xuan's heartfelt words.

He didn't know whether the flow of time in this place was different from that in the real world.

Even if time flows at the same speed, Zhou Xuan must leave this hellhole as soon as possible.

Ling and Principal Ange are still under siege in the Tamamonomae Club, and their lives are in danger.

As if sensing Zhou Xuan's urgency, Nidhogg slowly lowered his head and looked at Zhou Xuan with his cold golden pupils.

"I have been trapped under the World Tree for too long, almost ten thousand years."

"I just wanted to go out and take a look."

Ha ha.

Zhou Xuan rolled his eyes in his heart.

Do you think I'm some idiot?

If I let a monster like you back into the human world, wouldn't I be more stupid than Pandora, the woman who opened the magic box?
"Nidhoggr has most likely been locked up for too long, so his mind is not normal." Zhou Xuan glanced at Nidhoggr and said to himself.

"Sure enough, for intelligent creatures, deprivation of freedom is a more horrible punishment than death."

"But why did Nidhogg appear here at the World Tree after his death?"

Zhou Xuan couldn't help but feel a little confused.

According to common sense, after the death of the Dragon King, he would generally directly enter the process of cocoon rebirth, sleep well for dozens or hundreds of years, and then return to the human world to do great things.

Could it be that Nidhogg didn't have the skill of cocoon rebirth?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan looked at Nidhogg, thought for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible for me to help you, but why are you trapped here for ten thousand years instead of resurrecting in a cocoon? I'm a little curious."

"Because my soul is incomplete, I can only rely on the world tree to survive." Nidhogg was unexpectedly frank.

"Not complete?" Zhou Xuan asked puzzledly.

"It seems that you have indeed forgotten it."

"Thousands of years ago, you witnessed the entire process of my birth."

"Since the beginning of my birth, my soul has been divided."

Nidhogg's tone was flat, but the content of his words roared in Zhou Xuan's heart like thunder.

"I witnessed your birth!?"

Zhou Xuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain.
