Chapter 141: Smaug

Ascending the lonely mountain and walking to the door of the secret passage, the dwarves stood at the entrance of the dark cave and argued for a long time.

Inside the cave is probably the invincible dragon Smaug, and no one wants to go in and die.

But it was not possible to take the risk if he did not move forward, and after a quarrel-like argument, Thorin spoke: "Now, we must admit that Mr. Baggins, who has not given up all the way, is the luckiest man in our long journey, and as a hobbit he has courage and wisdom that outsiders do not expect. Besides, allow me to talk too much, he also has a lot of good luck beyond the ordinary. At this moment, it's time for him to carry out the only goal of joining our team, and it's time for him to earn his share of the reward! ”

Isn't the so-called good luck a magic ring that can be invisible? With Bilbo's frequent use, it is only natural that the dwarves know that the ring on Bilbo's hand can bring Mr. Baggins endless good luck.

But even with the protection of the Ring, Thorin's request is quite excessive, and it is clear that he only has the Akon Gem and those infinite riches in his eyes, and Bilbo's life and death are not in Thorin's consideration at all.

The orcs of the Misty Mountains, the great spiders of the Dark Forest, and the wood elves, because of Li Mu's attack, Bilbo did not have a chance to show his skills. Now with Thorin's praise, Bilbo, in order to fulfill his obligations under the contract, did not take the dragon to heart at all, but confidently agreed.

In the movie, the evil dragon Smaug didn't do it because he had a share in the heart of the little hobbit, who knows if Smaug was still so merciful with Li Mu's participation. Li Mu, who didn't dare to bet, dared to let Bilbo enter the cave to find death, but stopped him by saying, "Bilbo, you can think about it." Smaug, the dragon, is not a stupid orc or spider, and even if you can be invisible with the Ring, it may not be blind to you. Smaug is a dragon born in the First Age, with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and even if he can't see you, he can find you by smell.

Bilbo, Gandalf has left you in my care, and I don't want you to have an accident. You and Thorin wait outside, and I'll explore the way. ”

Along the way, if it weren't for the help of Li Mu, Gandalf's student, Thorin and his party would have had a harder adventure. The dwarves have been rescued by Li Mu many times, and now with Li Mu's voluntary request, Solin and the others are even more willing than 10,000.

As soon as you enter the cave, whether you succeed or fail, you will anger Smaug, and the town of Long Lake below will immediately fall into flames. Fortunately, Long Lake Town was already in the hands of Cisse and other storm cloaks, and with the assistance of the three dark elves of Brilina, Li Mu believed that Long Lake Town had entered a state of preparation.

After settling Bilbo and the Thirteen Dwarves, Li Mu handed over the two-handed axe that had been with him for months to the Chilifili brothers for safekeeping, and carefully groped into the dark cave alone.

In the eyes of Yin and Yang, what is in front of him is not a cave of orcs, nor is it a simple tunnel of wood elves, which was built during the heyday of the dwarves. It was as straight as if it had been measured with a ruler, the floor was flat, the walls were smooth, and even the slope was calculated from the beginning without the slightest change.

However, no one knows what kind of dark place it leads. The deeper he went into the cave, the more careful Li Mu became, without the ability to stealth, Li Mu could only try his best to breathe slowly, and he didn't dare to continue sneaking out of the ground.

As Li Mu got closer and closer, there was a light in front of him, and as he went deeper into the cave, the light became stronger and stronger. It was a redder glow, and the inside of the tunnel was getting warmer.

Wisps of steam drifted past Li Mu, making him sweat all over his body, and a voice began to dance in his ears, sounding like something boiling and bubbling in a pot, and there was also a sound similar to the roar of a big cat. Later, the sound slowly changed to the snoring of some kind of giant monster sleeping and snoring in the red light.

Walking to the end of the tunnel, he came to an opening about the size of the entrance, and Li Mu bent down and slipped into it lightly, and in front of him was the very bottom of the cave dug by the ancient dwarves in the mountain.

The huge red dragon in front of him was lying there, undisturbed and asleep. Wisps of black smoke emanated from its sharp teeth and nostrils, and the flames in its belly weren't so strong when it slept.

Beneath its limbs and tail, as well as throughout the cavern, were filled with all sorts of gold and silver jewels, uncast gold and precious stones, as well as finely carved works of art, all stained with a strange glow of bright red.

Smaug's wings folded, and he lay on the ground like a very large bat. It fell asleep on its side, and Li Mu could see its pale belly pressed against the priceless bed. Because it has been pressing its belly on these treasures for a long time, many precious stones and gold have been stuck in its belly.

On the wall behind Smaug, Li Mu could vaguely see chain mail, helmets, axes, swords, guns, swords, and halberds hanging on the wall. In the same place, there are many large urns containing countless treasures.

Faced with the countless gold coins and gems that could almost drown the evil dragon Smaug, Li Mu was not the slightest excited, these things that could not be brought with him in life and died. Li Mu couldn't bring back his own space, and the gold coins in the mountains were no different from the weeds and gravel on the side of the road.

Holding his breath and running out of the shadows, Li Mu crossed the ground and came to the nearest Baoshan. The dragon was still asleep, but it still seemed fierce in its sleep.

The Akon Gem, the heirloom of Thorin, is snow-white and has no effect except for being good-looking. Keeping in mind Thorin's request, Li Mu carefully took the Akon gem from the evil dragon's body, and then took a heavy large gold cup in his hand, and then decisively performed light skills and left quickly.

Although Li Mu may not be afraid of the evil dragon Smaug, he can complete the task without waking up the other party, and Li Mu is still lucky.

Compared to the dwarves who were in a state of excitement after winning the Golden Cup, Li Muke was not so optimistic, but said worriedly: "The evil dragon Smaug is a miser, no matter what is missing in the cave, it will be furious. If you hear the roar in a moment, you will hide in the tunnel, and the dragon Smaug will rush outside to find me, a thief. ”

Seeing that Li Mu had taken back the two-handed axe from the Chilifili brothers, and had no intention of entering the tunnel together, Thorin and the others all asked worriedly, "Li Mu, what about you?" You don't go in and hide? ”

"No, I'm human, and I'm going to guard the town of Long Lake."
