89. Tell the story of the past on the volcano
more
The flames of the Doomsday Volcano flowed down the gap in the crater, leaving a red trail on the black earth, and finally flowing into the dark tunnels that did not know how deep they were.
"Cheng, how deep is that tunnel? Is it true that you can't run in it all day without going to the end? Was that what you were chasing down Sauron in the first place, and eventually killing him once and for all? A handsome hobbit who was only about one meter tall and had a good appearance compared to the magma said to Cheng Peng, who was '' the magma with his true qi and washing the golden armor on the magic stand over and over again, "That must be a very wonderful story!" ”
"Frodo may not want to remember, but I think at least Sam would be willing to tell you about the thrilling ride and the chase in the tunnels—didn't he do it?" Cheng Peng didn't dislike these funny little guys, but he was worried that the little guy would lose his balance and fall down because of dancing. There are many rifts in the ground nearby, and beneath them are terrifying core magma, in which even the One Ring can be destroyed, and if a hobbit falls, it will turn to ashes in an instant.
He didn't want that to happen, Pi Ping had managed to survive the battle against the Orc Army, and it would be a tragedy to die here!
However, the hobbit's patience was really admirable, and Pipin chattered endlessly, and eventually even Cheng Peng was so overwhelmed that he had to suspend his work and tell the curious ghost about the original battle. Adventure 89
"To be honest, I really don't understand why you care so much about us." Back in the makeshift stone house, he boiled a pot of bitter tea with his true qi, this bitter tea is not good at all, but it can make people better awake, and it is necessary to keep a clear mind to live on this volcano full of chaos.
With that sentence as the opening sentence, Cheng Peng, who has been living in seclusion in Doom Volcano for nearly two months, recounted that experience.
"You know, I'm an alien. We Inhumans are travelers who travel through various worlds, and whenever we find something big going on in a certain world, we flock to help us find the right one. ”
"Yes, there were a lot of Inhumans in the coalition back then! They are the most valiant warriors! "They saved my life more than once!" ”
"Because it's so hard for us to actually die, it's understandable that we don't fear death. For example, Sauron, as Maia, it is also difficult for him to really die, so he is not afraid of death. ”
"But he is afraid of losing his power and position!"
"Yes, he fears losing his majesty and power, which is why he sends all sorts of monsters to intercept the Fellowship of the Ring." Cheng Peng nodded, and gave a cup of bitter tea that had been brewed to Pi Ping, "When I came to this world, I heard from a friend named Dongliu that the Fellowship of the Ring Expeditionary Force was surrounded by a large group of monsters. He and many others have been fighting, but in the face of the endless monsters like the "tide", they eventually fail. ”
"There were a lot of deaths in that battle, and Frodo and Sam were sad when they mentioned it." Pipin's face wrinkled, not knowing if it was because of sadness or because of the bitter tea.
Cheng Peng also took a sip slowly, letting the bitter taste that seemed to be stimulated even to scream slowly dissolve on his tongue, and the chaotic feeling brought by being busy in the smoke of magma for most of the day suddenly subsided, and his mind regained his sobriety.
"I'm fast, and I'm one of the most 'outstanding' among the Inhumans, so I set off as soon as I got the news. Perhaps it was due to luck or fate, but I found Frodo and Sam, who were being hunted down by the Ringwraiths sent by Sauron, and their companion was Faramir, the second son of the regent of Gondor, Dinether, the current Prime Minister of Gondor, who was still a guerrilla leader and a group of young men with little armor and weapons to resist Sauron's army. Faramir protected them all the way to Mount Doom, but they were not quick to catch up with ......"
"And you arrived at that time! Sam had said that they were both in despair, and Frodo had asked Faramore more than once to use the power of the One Ring, but Faramore had always refused, preferring to die rather than succumb to temptation. ”
"After that battle, he looked no better than a dead man, and I remember that when Frodo cleaned his wounds, he found sixteen places of blood on his body." Cheng Peng sighed and praised, "He is indeed a good man!" ”
Pipin obviously knew about the battle, so he didn't care about Faramo's affairs, and hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" ”
"Later...... I took on the task of escorting Frodo and Sam. We walked through the Swamp of Death, to this mountain, and then through it, to here, and tossed the Ring into the crater. Cheng Peng raised his hand and pointed to the circular mountain pass at the highest part of the mountain range, "That's where it was thrown in." ”
"You're too brief!" Pi Pin was deeply dissatisfied with Cheng Peng's excessive conciseness, "Didn't you encounter dangers and difficulties along the way?" ”
"If you want to talk about dangers and difficulties, of course, there are also them." Cheng Peng sighed, regretting that he couldn't pass the level easily, "When we were in the Death Swamp, we were once surrounded by the troops of harpies and vampires, fighting and advancing at the same time, fighting from evening to early morning. Sam discounted fourteen short swords and Frodo for nine shields—thankfully I had enough equipment with me. ”
A fierce battle that lasted more than ten hours was an understatement in his mouth, as if it was not worth mentioning, but Pippin had seen Sam and Frodo's pride when they talked about the fierce battle, and he knew how difficult it was to be besieged by the enemy for more than ten hours in a row!
"After breaking through the swamp, the vampires continued to chase us every night, leaving us to walk day and night, until my friends arrived and they couldn't trouble us anymore."
"There are a lot of orcs living in this mountain range, they seem to be endless, as long as you are not careful, they will come out of the corner without knowing where they are, roaring and screaming, not knowing what death is, just attacking frantically." Thinking of those demonized orcs who had both strength and bravery, Cheng Peng couldn't help but sigh, "Thanks to them, we have suffered heavy losses, the more than two hundred people gathered at the beginning were gradually lost, and in the end, there were less than ten people who were able to come to this volcano." Adventure 89
"Those more than 200 people are amazing, right? I remember an Inhuman friend said that because the most powerful people went to help escort Frodo to destroy the Ring, the strength to attack the fortified positions on the battlefield was somewhat insufficient. ”
"yes...... It's all amazing...... The six-star ...... of Qingyi's "color" Cheng Peng took another sip of bitter tea, thinking about the terrifying battle at the beginning, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Even the weakest is enough to become a so-called 'hero'." But under the invasion and attack of the endless orc army - by the way, all kinds of monsters appeared, which is simply a monster encyclopedia! ”
"But in the end you arrived!"
"That's right, they can't stop us!" Cheng Peng's eyes lit up, and the fighting spirit on his body turned into an aura like flames, but it was only put away in an instant, "We have come here, and Sauron has already left the Balado Fortress with his subordinates and come here to wait for us." ”
"I remember the battle, when almost everyone of the Inhumans was talking about it, and then they set off in a hurry, at first three or five, then ten or eight, and then in hordes, a huge army of 'Swing' and 'Swing' - we wanted to go too, but Aragorn objected, saying that we lacked the swift movement of the Inhumans and that the orc army in front of us needed to deal with."
"It was a tough battle, two full days of fighting, tens of thousands of players died with a fraction of a fraction left, and finally defeated Sauron, wiped out all his evil forces, and threw the One Ring into the volcano in front of him."
"It's amazing!"
"yes...... That's great! Cheng Peng smiled and lifted the teacup to make a toast, "After the Supreme Ring was destroyed, Solo lost his mana. Because he was a god Maiah, he was not destroyed, but turned into an evil ghost and did not know where to flee. ”
"But the battle isn't over yet, is it? I remember Sam saying that in the end you wiped him out underground. ”
Cheng Peng nodded and continued: "We originally thought that everything was over, and our companions were all gone. Since I've been idle lately, I've been escorting Frodo and Sam home with a few people who are also idle. As a result, that night, one of Sauron's subordinates stole one of my treasures—an evil treasure from another world, condensing a yellow 'colored' gem equivalent to the life force of hundreds of people. ”
"What's the use of that gem?" Pippin asked curiously.
"It is made by a demon king who uses coercion to extract the life force of the strong, and can provide an extremely large amount of energy, which is said to make people immortal. But it's probably just a legend, because the demon king died at the hands of me and my friends, and his gems became my trophies. Cheng Peng said lightly, "God knows how Sauron knew about it, in short, it used the power of this gem to resurrect smoothly." ”
Pi Pin was startled and hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" ”
"What to do? Fight! Cheng Peng replied, "We fought from night to morning, killing his servants - it was only then that Sauron discovered that his special 'nature' as Maia had been damaged by using the treasures of another world to resurrect, which meant that he had probably lost his immortal 'nature'. ”
This discovery made him lose his courage, and he was weaker than us in the face of death, and he turned around and ran. We pursued him all the way through the cave in the mountain, and pursued him all the way through the dark cave for three days, and finally caught up with him in the deep underground and killed him there. This time he never came back to life. ”
Cheng Peng took another big sip of bitter tea: "We were so tired and exhausted that it took us five days to crawl out of the ground, and because of Sauron's evil magic, the food was all damaged...... When everyone finally came out, they were so hungry that their eyes were green. I guess the reason they didn't want to talk about it was because they didn't want to remember those five days of hunger and thirst......"
Pi Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he kept admiring, while Cheng Peng, who had finished the story, held a teacup and stared at the annular crater in the distance with some fascination.
Originally, on its other side, you could still see the Balado Fortress of the Demon King Sauron, but now the fortress has completely collapsed - the fierce battle at the beginning is like a dream......
"But it's really enjoyable!"
