Zhao Zizhan walked over with a smile, his gaze sweeping over everyone at the table who were enjoying their meal and Surtr who was happily licking his sundae. He pointed to the table full of fast food and asked with a mix of helplessness and amusement, "Didn't I tell you to take them out for a nice meal? Why did you bring them here? I thought you would find a decent restaurant."

"See? This is what happens when you don't know what you're doing."

Xia Mi immediately put down the chicken wing in her hand, picked up a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth, and put on her old Beijing air: "This is the best restaurant in Beijing. Only a real old Beijinger would bring you here. Those places that take you to drink douzhi or eat fried liver are all out-of-towners. No real Beijinger would eat that stuff. It's either offal or swill. No real Beijinger would want to eat that stuff?"

"this!"

Xia Mi held up the hamburger: "This thing is even more exciting than Old Mo's!"

"When I was a kid, every time I passed by McDonald's, I would peer through the glass door at the people eating inside. I was so envious, but I never had the money to buy any. Now that I finally have the chance, I'm going to really enjoy myself!"

"This is really delicious," the Rhodes Island team agreed.

Ace was an old man from the Tower of Babel era. He had followed the organization around and rarely had a proper meal. The food was good enough to fill his stomach. It was only after Zhao Zizhan came that it started to improve. Although Sharp had also been a member of Sargon's court, seeing pigs run was not the same as eating pork. The food in the court was mostly about showing off but lacked a sense of everyday life. Later, he worked under several Pashas, ​​either fighting or on his way to fight. Everyone knows how bad Sargon's marching rations are.

Talulah goes without saying, and Surtr has been wandering around for years, so this table full of delicious-looking McDonald's food is indeed a feast for them.

“You’re a local, so you get to decide.” Zhao Zizhan had heard of Beijing’s reputation as a food wasteland before, but he didn’t argue with the locals when it came to food. He obediently found an empty seat and started eating fries.

McDonald's fries are truly exceptional. The outer layer is so crispy that it makes a slight "crunch" when you bite into it, while the inside is soft and fluffy. The surface is also covered with tiny salt crystals, and the saltiness is just right. They are delicious enough without needing ketchup.

"Have you finished your business?"

After finishing a chicken wing, Xia Mi picked up a French fry and asked while eating.

"It's all done. There wasn't anything complicated. It was just a brief report on the operation and the subsequent plans."

Zhao Zizhan leaned back in his chair, speaking in a relaxed tone, "The people above are quite open-minded. They didn't say anything else, just told me to keep a cheerful mood and not to be too tense."

"puff--"

Xia Mi almost spat out the cola she had just drunk. She covered her mouth and laughed uncontrollably, her shoulders shaking. "With your destructive power, who would dare to be unkind to you? 'Try to keep a cheerful mood,' they're just afraid that if you're in a bad mood, you'll tear something down again, right? Hahaha!"

"Let's get down to business. Where's your brother?"

"Don't you know where my brother is?"

Xia Mi stopped laughing, blinked, and said with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"What are you talking about? How would I know where your brother is?"

"I thought you knew everything,"

Xia Mi raised an eyebrow, deliberately drawing out her words, "Why aren't you transforming into the intelligence strategist Zizhan this time?"

"Hey, I've noticed you're always looking for trouble, aren't you?"

"My brother... he's at the subway station. After you finish eating, I'll take you there."

“Alright, let’s arrange a new place for you today, brother. I’ve already found a spot,” Zhao Zizhan nodded.

"Really? Let me warn you, my brother doesn't look like me... and he's huge, a normal place simply can't fit him."

"Don't worry, there's definitely enough space." Isn't Rembitop's vast wasteland enough for him to run wild?

"Just wondering, how big is your brother?"

Ace joined the conversation.

Xia Mi tilted her head and thought for a moment: "About... forty or fifty meters tall?"

"Forty or fifty meters!? Are you sure?"

Ace clicked her tongue in surprise, already imagining what a person forty or fifty meters tall would look like.

"Is this the new world?"

Seeing this, Zhao Zizhan quickly spoke up to clear Ace's mind, lest he overthink things: "No way, his brother isn't even human."

"not human?"

Ace's gaze lingered on Xia Mi for a few more moments: "But..."

She looks no different from us; her skin, hair, even her tone of voice are just like ordinary people. How could she not be human? But she does indeed have an older brother who is forty or fifty meters tall…

"This is a rather complicated matter. Has Kal'tsit ever told you about the concept of behemoths before? You mean those ancient giants on the continent of Terra?"

The mention of behemoths made Ace's expression turn serious: "I've heard of them... You mean, this girl, and her brother, are behemoths? But..."

Ace had heard a little about behemoths from Kal'tsit. Behemoths, unlike the precise term "Kayadir behemoths," are used to describe incredibly ancient, powerful, and enormous creatures that live on Terra. They are living fossils of the Terran land.

Ace never expected that, after spending so long on Rhodes Island, he had only ever seen images of giant beasts in the files. Those behemoths could cause a small disaster with just a slight movement. Yet, on this strange alien planet, there were also giant beasts.

However, a length of forty meters seems rather small for a behemoth...

Terra's wildlife includes quite a few heavyweights. The Sargon rainforest is full of giant lizards that are over ten meters long, and the wild land predators are quite terrifying in size, some even reaching forty meters. You wouldn't be able to fit them on the table.

"It only resembles a giant beast, but it's still quite different from a real one. Besides, his older brother is only a newborn, so it's normal for him to be small. He'll grow bigger as he gets older."

"Still a child?"

The Rhodes Island operators were stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Mi.

"Oh dear, why are you staring at me like that? I'm a baby too..."

Xia Mi was hesitant and awkward.

"I feel like throwing up."

"Zhao Zizhan, what are you doing!"

……

"Xia Mi, you're something else! You arranged for your brother to go to Princess Tomb? This place is an old landmark in Beijing. You certainly know how to pick a conspicuous spot." Zhao Zizhan teased, looking at the sign.

A breeze rushed out from the subway entrance passage, carrying the unique dampness of the underground, lifting the stray hairs on Xia Mi's forehead and revealing her clear eyes that concealed complex emotions.

“It doesn’t matter where I go, it’s just that this is the closest. To get to Nibelungen, you need to take the subway.” After explaining, she didn’t walk into the subway passage as usual. Instead, she stood there, her body slightly tense, as if she was making a difficult decision.

She opened her mouth, her lips moved several times before she finally uttered a sound. Her gaze was fixed on Zhao Zizhan, her usually lively eyes now unusually serious, even carrying a rare hint of vulnerability: "Zhao Zizhan...you promise you won't hurt him?"

These words were spoken lightly, yet they struck Zhao Zizhan like a stone, instantly extinguishing all his joking thoughts.

Zhao Zizhan took a deep breath, straightened his back, and his smiling face instantly became extremely solemn. Without any unnecessary embellishment or ambiguous promises, he looked into Xia Mi's eyes and said, word by word, each word resounding: "I promise."

Indeed, it does seem a bit unprofessional for someone to bring so many armed men to someone's home.

Xia Mi stared into his eyes for a long time, then her tense shoulders relaxed. "Okay, I'll take you there."

"If you dare to hurt him, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."

I understand.

Stepping into the subway, the hustle and bustle of people instantly engulfs you. Passengers transferring trains come and go, their footsteps, station announcements, and children's cries all mingling together.

Zhao Zizhan and his entourage sat down in the carriage. Their figures, lined up in a row, stood out in the crowded throng. The silver-haired dragon girl, the red-haired girl with devil horns, the black man, the white man, and the handsome man and beautiful woman combination attracted a lot of attention.

However, the concept of anime and manga has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. As a cultural capital, Beijing is home to all kinds of anime conventions and performances. Passing passengers may at most take a few curious glances or whisper a few words.

"Look at that silver-haired girl's hair, it's so beautiful! Where did she get it styled?"

? 澪丿弍弍/⑶○乆叭

"Those demon horns look just like the real thing, and they even have a tail. The quality of this equipment is so high; it must have cost a lot of money."

The chatter continued intermittently, but no one stepped forward to disturb them. They simply passed by with a "let's see what's going on" mentality. Beijing doesn't care about anyone; everyone in Beijing is just passing through.

The subway slowly started moving, and the clanging sound came from the tracks, accompanied by regular vibrations, like the heartbeat of the earth.

Everyone sat on the bench in silence. Xia Mi leaned against the car window, her eyes vacant, lost in thought.

As the subway stopped at each station, the surrounding passengers gradually disembarked, and the once crowded carriage became empty, leaving only a few of them.

The noise subsided, leaving only the monotonous, rhythmic clanging of the train moving along the tracks.

Even the surrounding light disappeared, and outside the train, there was only an impenetrable darkness, as if the whole world had been swallowed up.

Xia Mi's voice broke the silence: "We've arrived."

As soon as the words were spoken, the train slowly slowed down and finally came to a smooth stop on the tracks. With a soft "ding," the doors slowly opened. A cold draft rushed in from outside, carrying the pungent smell of rocks and decay. Everyone peered out, but there was no familiar platform outside, only a dark, desolate cave. The cave walls were covered with jagged rock patterns, and occasionally water droplets dripped from the ceiling, the "drip-drip" sound particularly clear in the empty cave.

“Let’s go, this is my home,” Xia Mi said casually as she stood up, stepped out of the car, and walked out of the car.

"Your house... the lighting isn't very good," Zhao Zizhan complained, then flashed out and pulled out a few flashlights, distributing them to everyone before the group filed out.

As Ace, the last to step out of the subway car, stepped out, the doors behind him slammed shut, the train slowly started moving, and disappeared into the darkness along the tracks, leaving only the clanging sound fading into the distance until it finally vanished completely, and the cave returned to its deathly silence.

Xia Mi stood in the center of the cave, took a deep breath, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted loudly into the dark underground cave. Her voice echoed in the empty cave.

"Fenrir, I'm back!!"

"Boom-boom-"

As soon as the words were spoken, the earth suddenly began to shake violently. Rocks from the cave ceiling fell and crashed to the ground with a dull thud. A huge figure was moving in the darkness, each step causing the earth to tremble.

Soon, from the darkness, a ferocious giant head slowly emerged. The giant head was grotesque and jagged, covered with tightly packed dark golden scales. The edges of the scales gleamed with a sharp, cold light, shining with a metallic luster under the beam of the flashlight. They were both sharp and hard, appearing ferocious, jagged, ancient, and awe-inspiring.

Talulah's grip on the sword hilt tightened instantly, her pupils contracted sharply as she stared at the gigantic head, her voice filled with disbelief and shock: "This is..."

Zhao Zizhan also held his breath. Although he had expected it, he was still shocked by the scene before him.

This is a true dragon's head! Its sharp fangs, deep-set eyes, and thick horns all proclaim its identity—Fenrir, the king of the earth and mountains.

The enormous dragon head turned, and when it saw Xia Mi, its originally ferocious eyes softened instantly, and a clear expression of happiness and excitement appeared on its face. It let out a low whimper, as if it were being affectionate.

But soon, it noticed Zhao Zizhan and his group beside Xia Mi. Its eyes instantly became wary, and it let out a threatening growl. Its huge head lowered slightly, and its sharp fangs were exposed. It was like a child guarding its home who had seen strangers, full of vigilance.

It glanced at Xia Mi, then at Zhao Zizhan and his group, its gaze lingering on Talulah for a moment before tilting its head as if in confusion.

Zhao Zizhan looked at Fenrir and smiled: "Brother-in-law, is it safe for me to park my will-o'-the-wisp in front of your house?"

"Zhao Zizhan, stay away from Lu Mingfei from now on!"

PS: That's all for today's update. I'll add another chapter tomorrow after I wake up. I feel like this pace is okay.

I have thought about it and led the three prayers.

Chapter 195 Wisdom and Strength.

"Look at you, so impatient. I was just joking with Fenrir."

You better be joking!

Fenrir stood there, blinking his big eyes, completely bewildered by the scene before him.

It shook its head and began to use its seemingly huge, but actually not fully logical, brain.

My sister came with this person, and they yelled at each other, like they were arguing. He made my sister yell, so this person must be a bad guy.

A demonstration of Cheng Kun's abilities!

Fenrir's previously gentle gaze instantly turned fierce. He arched his back slightly and made a low "woof" sound in his throat. Just as he was about to exhale, Zhao Zizhan slowly pulled out a cardboard box with a cartoon pattern from behind him. With a "whoosh," he opened the lid, revealing golden and crispy potato chips.

"wrong!"

Fenrir suddenly jolted awake, his eyes fixed on the cardboard box. Why did this person have potato chips? And a whole box of them at that?

It subconsciously turned its head to look at Xia Mi, wanting to get an answer from its sister, but before Xia Mi could speak, it saw Zhao Zizhan pull out two more boxes of cola that were emitting a slight chill from behind.

"Ok?"

Fenrir's body swayed involuntarily.

It stared at the two cases of cola, then glanced at Zhao Zizhan, and started plotting: This guy is so cunning, he can actually produce so many good things! Sister, don't panic, I'll pretend to be tempted by his snacks, bury my head in his potato chips and drink his cola. Actually, this is all part of my disguise plan. Yes, I have my own rhythm!

Click click click...

As soon as Xia Mi turned around, she saw Fenrir gulping down Coca-Cola. The two cases of Coca-Cola were empty in no time. Fenrir let out a burp filled with Coca-Cola bubbles, and its expression changed.

Talulah stood to the side, observing Fenrir's drastically different demeanor, and couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Is this your brother? He looks... kind of cute."

Well, Fenrir has the appearance of a dragon king, but his face isn't that fierce. He gives the impression of being like an ordinary tiger compared to Miyoshi.

Xia Mi rubbed her forehead, watching Fenrir bury his ass in the potato chip box, his face covered in chip crumbs, and sighed helplessly: "Because he awakened too quickly, his mental development was a bit...slow, resulting in his current childish appearance. But it's actually not bad, at least..."

Zhao Zizhan handed another box of potato chips to Fenrir and said with a smile, "Fenrir, hello there. I'm Zhao Zizhan, a friend of your sister. I heard you love snacks, so I brought some to see you."

Fenrir nodded at Zhao Zizhan.

Yes, you are a friend!

Xia Mi looked at Zhao Zizhan meaningfully: "You don't know where my brother is, but you know exactly what he likes to eat, huh?"

Zhao Zizhan waved his hand with a smile, then pulled out more things: "What are you talking about? I've never seen a kid who doesn't like drinking cola or eating potato chips. Besides, I have a whole bunch of snacks I haven't taken out yet, I guarantee Fenrir will have his fill."

"I have fried chicken, tortilla chips, puffed snacks, pork jerky, beef jerky, and dried squid..."
