Lin Bei's words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

Especially ordinary people like Zhao Menghua.

From the moment he was trapped in the subway station with the two men who claimed to be Kassel commissioners, he had a vague feeling that he had stepped into a circle that ordinary people should never enter.

Hearing Lin Bei say this, especially when he mentioned the word "death," Zhao Menghua turned pale and could no longer hold back.

He finally understood that among the people present, he was the weakest; everyone else had the ability to protect themselves, except for him.

Knowing nothing, understanding nothing, not even knowing martial arts, if this were in a movie, the first one to die would definitely be cannon fodder.

Zhao Menghua's face was deathly pale, and he was trembling all over. His helpless gaze swept over everyone present.

He wanted to ask for help, but who could he turn to?
The two Kassel commissioners were cold to him and even complained about the trouble caused by his stalking.

Lin Bei?

Don't even think about it. Lin Bei almost killed him before.

That aloof young man? He doesn't even know him, how can he ask for help?

In his panic, Zhao Menghua quickly analyzed the situation and concluded that there was only one person present who could save him.

That was Lu Mingfei, whom he used to look down on.

This thought popped into Zhao Menghua's mind, and he no longer cared about how he had looked down on Lu Mingfei before. Now, all he could think about was "Lu Mingfei is the only person who can save me."

Cold sweat trickled down Zhao Menghua's forehead. He rushed to Lu Mingfei's side, grabbed his arm, and pleaded, "Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei! Please save me for the sake of our past as classmates. I'm still young and don't want to die, let alone die in this inexplicable place!"
I promise I'll control this damn curiosity from now on, and I'll never follow your people to a place like this again! Lu Mingfei, you have to save me!

Lu Mingfei was being pestered by Zhao Menghua, and he looked at the others with some embarrassment.

After all, no dangerous situation has occurred yet; Lin Bei is merely speculating about their location.

There's really no need to panic to this extent.

Anyone present could have saved him, and they had all come in specifically to find Zhao Menghua.

Seeing Lin Bei's ambiguous gaze directed at him, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to pull his arm away from Zhao Menghua's grasp and speak helplessly.

"Zhao Menghua, don't panic. Now that we're here, we won't let anything happen to you. Besides, Chen Wenwen called me and begged me to save you. Since I promised her, I won't go back on my word. So calm down and wait for Lin Bei to arrange the next steps."

After saying that, Lu Mingfei looked at Lin Bei, scratched his head, and asked.

"So, what are your plans next? Now that we're in Nibelungen, why don't we take this opportunity to find the King of the Earth and Mountains and destroy him?"

Hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Lin Bei's lips curled up slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

As expected of his underling, his attitude when faced with problems is different from before.

However, there is no need for anyone else to interfere in resolving the matter of the King of the Earth and the Mountains.

He would agree to this mission, not just to kill the King of Earth and Mountains.

He wanted to help Xia Mi complete her plan: to devour her younger brother and evolve into the goddess Hela.

Lin Bei wanted to know if Hela, the Goddess of Death, was really as powerful as the rumors suggested.

Compared to that, how much of his power could they achieve?

Thinking of this, Lin Bei suppressed his excitement. He calculated the time and figured that Xia Mi should have shaken off Caesar and Chen Motong by now and entered the subway station from another direction.

Lin Bei stroked his chin, glanced down at everyone, and then gave a casual order while stroking his chin.

"There is a plan, I do. Here's what we'll do: Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, you two send Zhao Menghua and these two comrades out. Once you've confirmed their safety, you can come back."

I will leave markers along the way so you won't get lost. As for me, I'll go ahead and scout the way.

Hearing this, Chu Zihang was slightly taken aback. He then frowned and said, "You can leave the escort to Lu Mingfei. If he can't find his way, you can give him directions, right? Why do you want me to come along?"

Hearing Chu Zihang's protest, Lin Bei did not feel offended. He knew that Chu Zihang was arrogant and proud, and in his eyes, he was much more capable than Lu Mingfei.

This wasn't meant to be disrespectful to Lu Mingfei, but rather Chu Zihang's dissatisfaction with Lin Bei's arrangement.

He considered himself to be highly capable and experienced in combat, but he could tell at a glance that Lin Bei's arrangement was intended to get him and Lu Mingfei out of the way.

Chu Zihang looked at Lin Bei indifferently, as if he wouldn't give up until he got an explanation.

Lin Bei glanced at Chu Zihang indifferently: "Just do as I say. I'm on your side, so I won't harm you. Besides, this arrangement is good for you."

In Lin Bei's opinion, it would be best if Chu Zihang didn't get involved in this matter.

Otherwise, when he finally realizes that the girl he first fell for is actually a dragon, he will likely suffer another devastating blow.

But if he had to say, Lin Bei would really look forward to the scene where Xia Mi sees Chu Zihang appear.

After saying that, Lin Bei didn't give Chu Zihang a chance to resist. He raised his hand, activated the power of the Shadow Monarch, and summoned black liquid.

The black liquid surged up and instantly enveloped the group of people in front of him. The black liquid carried them back the way they came. Lin Bei slowly turned around, his back gradually merging into the darkness.

"Stop talking nonsense. The King of Earth and Mountains has awakened. The black liquid along the way will guide you."

Only after Lin Bei's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight did the black liquid release them.

But the black liquid did not disappear; instead, it materialized into the figure of a woman, who indifferently pointed in another direction into the darkness.

This is Ao Run; she was sent to guide these people to the exit.

Chu Zihang knelt on the ground, staring at the direction where Lin Bei had disappeared, and slammed his fist heavily on the ground.

Although unwilling, things had come to this point, and it would probably take Chu Zihang some time to catch up with Lin Bei in this maze-like darkness.

It would be better to follow Lin Bei's plan, send the person out, and then return. With the guidance of the black puppet beside them, they could quickly find Lin Bei.

Under Lin Bei's forceful arrangement, Chu Zihang had no choice but to stand up, coldly glance at the people around him, and follow Ao Run, striding forward.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, then turned around, grabbed the trembling Zhao Menghua, and quickly followed Chu Zihang.

Lu Mingfei also wanted to get the person out as soon as possible. He wanted to see what the King of Earth and Mountains looked like. Besides, he was Lin Bei's teammate after all, and he might be able to help if he went there.

Thus, Lin Bei's three-person team split into two groups: one escorted the people out of the subway station, while Lin Bei went into the subway station alone.

After Lin Bei was left alone, he felt that his surroundings were much quieter.

He continued deeper into the darkness, which blinded his eyes, trying to make him completely lose himself in it.

But with Lin Bei's strength, how could he possibly be seduced by such a low-level power?

He took each step with exceptional determination, moving forward according to his own will.

Until Lin Bei took a step, he heard the empty echoes coming from all around.

Lin Bei paused, put one hand in his pocket, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

He knew he was already inside the subway tunnel.

This also means that he is very close to his destination.

Lin Bei chuckled softly, the sound echoing through the tunnel. He quickened his pace and continued walking forward.

The darkness was broken by a sliver of light. Directly in front of Lin Bei, there was a faint glow, like a lamp.

Lin Bei's footsteps seemed to attract the attention of a huge dark figure ahead.

A huge black shadow slowly crawled forward, causing the entire subway tunnel to tremble.

A bewildered voice came from ahead.

"Who...sister?"

Lin Bei put his hands in his pockets and walked over slowly.

When Lin Bei stepped into the light, he could see clearly that what was in front of him was a huge dragon.

The dragon almost took over the entire subway tunnel, but he couldn't move.

Because he was imprisoned here, the latter half of his body was petrified in the rock wall.

Lin Bei looked up and met the dragon's gaze. In the dragon's golden pupils, Lin Bei did not see the cruelty and slaughter of other dragons, but only simplicity and innocence.

Lin Bei and Long stared at each other for a while. Lin Bei didn't speak, and neither did Long. He was also sizing up Lin Bei.

Occasionally, the dragon would tilt its head, giving Lin Bei the feeling that this dragon was rather silly.

A dark light flashed in Lin Bei's eyes. He slowly raised his hand and gently traced the dragon's chin with his fingers.

The slight itch made Long a little uncomfortable. He shook his head and chuckled.

Lin Bei sighed softly: "Fenrir, the king of the earth and mountains, is a pity. He possesses such immense power, yet his intelligence is low, and he cannot use his true power."

Lin Bei naturally knew that Fenrir's power was incomparable to that of Xia Mi, or Jormungandr.

Jormungandr always wanted to gain supreme power. Not wanting to harm her brother, she tried to devour Constantine's dragon bones.

But in the end, she failed. Jormungandr had no choice but to either devour Fenrir or Fenrir would devour her.

Only in this way could Hela, the goddess of death, be born and become the queen of the Nibelungs.

Fenrir was of low intelligence and clearly did not understand what Lin Bei was talking about.

He blinked his huge dragon eyes, grinned, and tilted his head: "Who are you? How do you know my name is Fenrir? Did my sister send you to come and play with me? But my sister said that no one would come here. Do you know my sister? I haven't seen her in a long time. I miss her a little."

Fenrir's innocent and cheerful voice echoed in the tunnel, and Lin Bei squinted slightly after hearing it.

He turned to the side, looked into the dark tunnel, gently placed his hand on Fenrir's head, and answered with a smile.

"Of course I know your sister. She's coming over soon."

As Lin Bei finished speaking, a soft footstep sound came from the dark tunnel.

Fenrir sniffed blankly, then her eyes lit up: "It's my sister, my sister's here!"

Lin Bei naturally knew that Jormungandr had arrived.

From the moment he found Fenrir, Jormungandr had already sensed his intrusion into his territory.

That's why Jormungandr was in such a hurry to come over.

Lin Bei stood beside Fenrir without leaving, calmly watching Jormungandr emerge from the darkness step by step.

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"It's been a few hours, Xia Mi, no, Jormungandr, have you figured out what to do next?"

Jormungandr took a deep breath, suppressing her panic, and stared at Lin Bei with a serious expression.

"Who exactly are you? How do you know my plan? You should know that only I know about this plan. The information I've shared is only partial. How do you know it?"

Lin Bei shrugged, his fingers gently stroking Fenrir's chin as if petting a puppy.

"Is this something that's so important? Compared to this, haven't you always wanted to become stronger?"

I'm not a bad person. If you want to become stronger, I can help you. The reason you've been hiding your brother here and haven't made a move is because you can't bear to.

"Jormungandr, as a dragon, how can you tolerate possessing human emotions?"

Faced with Lin Bei's accusation, Jormungandr suddenly looked up, his face pale as he stared at him.

Who exactly is this Lin Bei?

Why does he seem to be able to see through everything, as if he has already grasped my past and future, and that every step I take is destined to be seen through by this guy named Lin Bei?

Isn't Lin Bei human?
Why does it possess such terrifying power?

She doesn't understand.

Seeing Jormungandr standing there in a daze, Lin Bei sighed helplessly.

"So stop daydreaming. Since you can't bear to kill your brother, then I'll do it. After your brother dies, you can devour him and become Hela, the Goddess of Death, right?"

Jormungandr's gaze fell on Fenrir, who had an innocent look on his face.

Honestly, if her brother weren't intellectually disabled, like a child, she would have done it long ago.

She would rather Fenrir be of sound mind, or even hostile towards her, than not use all her strength to fight against him.

Regardless of who loses, as long as they devour the other, they can be reborn as Hela.

But given Fenrir's situation, how could she bear to do it?

Lin Bei was right. She was too incompetent. Having lived in the human world for too long, she had developed feelings that she shouldn't have.

Jormungandr took a deep breath, slowly turned his back, and said calmly.

"Then, I'll leave it to you. In return, after I become Hela the Grim Reaper, I will use all my strength to kill you."

Lin Bei smiled and sighed, "That's more like it. That's the spirit that dragons should have. Alright, don't be sad, Jormungandr. I won't let Fenrir suffer."

After saying that, Lin Bei slowly walked to face Fenrir.

Fenrir was somewhat pleased by the appearance of Jormungandr, but although he was not very intelligent, he had not lost his dragon instincts.

He knew that Jormungandr seemed to want to kill him, and that the human in front of him also wanted to attack him.

Fenrir was somewhat sad. He blinked his golden pupils, his gaze falling on Jormungandr's retreating figure, then looked down at the tiny human in front of him, feeling utterly aggrieved.

"You guys are so mean. I didn't do anything wrong, why do you want to hurt me? You're bad people, so I'm not playing with you anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire subway tunnel trembled slightly.

Fenrir writhed, trying to crawl out of the rock wall, but Jormungandr, who could imprison him here, naturally also had ways to prevent him from breaking free.

Fenrir twisted its body and let out a dragon's roar, then suddenly raised its claws and slammed them down on the tiny human in front of it.

Fenrir temporarily set aside his intelligence, choosing to let his dragon instincts control him; this claw strike contained most of his body's power. (End of Chapter)
