Chapter 586: Return to Changhu Town

Faced with these 3 options, Nightblade also chose B very casually: the success rate increases by 20% when taming creatures.

Although for him, this option can actually be called dispensable, because relying on the coercive rule of the Alien Queen, he can easily tame the alien soldiers who are still in a juvenile state.

In fact, not only the aliens, but also other creatures, it is definitely much easier to tame the larvae than the mature.

After spending nearly an hour or so, Ye Feng finally recruited all the remaining summoned beasts, adding a total of 57 bat aliens, and at the same time, the total number of his summoned beasts also reached an exaggerated 72!

Truth be told, even a normal wolf, with a population of 72, is enough to easily defeat several melee contractors.

Not to mention the powerful killing creatures like Xenomorphs!

Then, riding on a flying Bat Alien, Nightfront also flew east along the Erid Misling Mountains, also known as the Grey Mountains, which are huge mountain ranges that stretch to the north of Rovanion.

The Grey Mountains were the last natural barrier of the Iron Mountains, which once ran through the northern part of Middle-earth, but was broken at the end of the First Age, and the northern part of the Grey Mountains was the Northern Wasteland, which was known as Dordeholos in the First Age, but the fall of Arda caused most of the land here to be destroyed.

After flying for more than a day, the outline of the lonely mountain is finally in sight.

After transferring to the bat aliens who don't know how many they are, Ye Feng also commanded the bat aliens under his seat to change course and fly south.

After jumping over a small mountain range, the Dry Wilderness, the outline of the lonely mountain became clearer and clearer.

The lonely mountain about 3,500 meters high towers into the clouds, standing on the top of the lonely peak and looking down on the world, the loneliness in the heart can not help but be born from people, perhaps it is precisely because of this that this towering mountain will be called the lonely mountain!

It represents the cold mountain peak of loneliness!

And if you look down from the sky, the lonely mountain is star-shaped, it is centered on the top of the mountain, and six branch veins extend to all sides.

In the southwesterly branches, there is a mountain called Raven Ridge, on which a dwarven guard post is built, and between the two ridges to the west there is a narrow valley, behind the valley's protruding cliffs hides a secret door, and the uneven steps extend over the steep cliff face to the top of the southern ridge, turning east behind a boulder.

The main entrance to the Lonely Mountain is the Gate of Mount Erebo to the south, which leads to the valley between the two huge ridges of Mount Erebo. At the end of Raven Ridge, the southwestern ridge, there is a lookout, and the rushing river gushes from the bottom of the lonely hill and flows out of the front gate, forming a waterfall that jumps down the valley.

In fact, the wizard Gandalf had the dwarves wait for him at the so-called observatory, a lookout on Raven Ridge in the southwestern ridge.

At the same time, when Night Feng rode the bat alien closer and closer to the lonely mountain, a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart, giving him the feeling that there was a peerless beast sleeping in the lonely mountain.

In fact, not only him, but even his mount, the Bat Alien, also had a burst of fear from time to time, in fact, if he hadn't been pacifying the Bat Alien all the way, then it would have probably turned around and fled.

There is no doubt that the one who can give him such a strong sense of crisis at such a great distance must be the dragon who is currently in a state of slumber, Smaug.

Then, under the command of Ye Feng, the Bat Alien also flew around the Lonely Mountain from a distance, and when he saw the wreckage of a city on the ground from the air, he finally found his way.

Because the remains of this city are the ruins of Rivervalley Town, a trading city built by humans on the basis of the prosperity of the Lonely Mountain.

A stone bridge connects the city to the gateway to the kingdom of the dwarven Turin.

It's just that now the portal is sealed by a tight rock, and it is impossible for even a creature like a dwarf to get through this tight stone wall except for small birds and other creatures.

In fact, this is the main reason why Thorin and the others have found the secret passage to enter the Lonely Mountain.

Because if you want to enter through the main entrance, you need to use a lot of manpower to dig up the tight stone wall bit by bit.

However, this will undoubtedly cause a very large disturbance, which will awaken the sleeping dragon Smaug.

In fact, whether it is the dwarven king Thorin or the other dwarven warriors, they actually know very well in their hearts that relying on their current poor strength, it is simply impossible to slay the dragon.

Therefore, their real purpose is to quietly enter the lonely mountain, and then find a way to steal the Akon Treasure Diamond, which can represent the power of the dwarves, from the countless treasures.

In fact, this is the main reason why they took the hobbit Bilbo on their journey.

There is no doubt that the difficulty of stealing a gem and actually slaying a dragon is very clear to each individual.

In fact, in Thorin's expectations, they didn't have the idea of slaying dragons, otherwise, they wouldn't have only come with such a small number of people this time.

After all, even in the middle of it, there will not be a scene where just a dozen dwarven warriors go to slay dragons or the like!

Because this is a bit too exaggerated even for a book.

Therefore, in Thorin's original plan, they just wanted to steal the Akon Treasure Diamond, and then use the appeal of the Arkon Treasure Diamond to regather the seven dwarven clans and restore the former glory of the dwarven kingdom.

At that time, when Thorin has reunited the seven dwarves, whether it is to destroy the dragons and retake the lonely mountain, or to go to Moria, it can be said that the dwarves will be restored to their former glory.

At this time, under the command of Ye Feng, the bat alien also flew in the direction of the observatory, but fortunately, he had also seen the dwarf map before, which marked the topographic map near the lonely mountain in detail, so as long as he found an obvious reference, he could search according to the map information in his memory.

Thanks to the fact that his mental and intellectual attributes have increased dramatically, his memory has also improved greatly compared to before he became a contractor, so even if he only glanced at the map, he can still clearly reproduce the map in his mind by recalling.

However, when he followed the map in his memory to find the observatory, he found no trace of the dwarves and his party.

Isn't that wrong?

Is this indeed the location of the observatory shown on the map?

Could it be that the dwarves and their party have already gone to the Lonely Mountain?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng also immediately rode the bat alien and flew in the direction of the lonely mountain, and after flying around the lonely mountain, he also ordered the bat alien to face the stone statue carved with a dwarven ancestor on the mountain.

According to the plot of the movie, the hidden door of the secret passage is near the ear of this dwarf statue.

However, when Nightmenter landed in the ear of the stone statue on the Bat Alien, he saw no sign that the stone statue had been opened.

In desperation, he had no choice but to follow the route to Changhu Town.

However, until he found the lake, he did not find any trace of the dwarves and his party.

Looking at the outline of Changhu Town hidden in the mist in the lake, Ye Feng's eyes also became cloudy, because logically speaking, the dwarves who passed through the dark and dense forest from the dense forest river would not encounter the siege of the forest elves at all like in the plot.

And the half-orc legion that was chasing after him was also wiped out by him at the cost of half of the summoning beasts.

Therefore, if the dwarves should have arrived at Lonely Mountain according to the itinerary, but now it has not appeared, then the only place where there is a problem should be Changhu Town.

Long Lake is located in Rovanian, south of Mount Erebo, the lake is long from north to south, narrow from east to west, the lake basin is once a rocky deep valley, Long Lake is formed in the upper reaches of the Rushing River, the Rushing River from Mount Erebo flows into the Long Lake from the north end, forms a waterfall at the south end of the lake and continues to flow south, the Jungle River flows into the west end of the lake, and the town of Long Lake is built near the mouth of the river.

It is worth mentioning that the waters where the Long Lake is located can be called the land and sea, and it is also thanks to the fact that Ye Feng directly rode the bat alien and flew through the air, otherwise, if you want to pass through the Long Lake by water, then you need at least a two-masted warship with a certain draft.

What's more, from time to time, there is a thick fog on the long lake, so if you are not an experienced boatman, you will definitely get lost when sailing on this long lake.

Fortunately, he flew through the air, and looking down from the air, the outline of Changhu Town was also hidden in the thick fog, so he would not get lost.

After flying over Changhu Town, after circling around Changhu Town, under the command of Ye Feng, the Bat Alien also circled and descended a certain distance from Changhu Town, until it was only a few meters high from the water.

Then he jumped down directly from the back of the bat alien, and the fluttering water splashed more than a meter high, and the circle-like ripples spread out one after another.

But it didn't cause much movement.

After sending the bat alien back to the summoning space, Ye Feng also directly held his breath and plunged into the bottom of the water, and the cold ice water penetrated from the limbs and hundreds of bones, even with the body of the contractor, he couldn't help but shiver, it was indeed a little too cold.

Subsequently, after diving to the bottom of the water, he also slowly swam into Changhu Town, only to see a large area of huge wooden stakes with the thickness of several people nailed into the bottom of the water in front of his eyes, and it was precisely by relying on these wooden stakes that Changhu Town was able to exist on the surface of the lake.

After slowly surfacing the water, what caught Ye Feng's eyes was a dirty, chaotic, and poor backward town, and the place where he surfaced happened to be near a wooden house on the water.

After quietly going ashore, he quickly changed into clean, dry clothes in the hidden shadow of the wooden house, and then took out a loose and large robe and covered his body, and after lowering the eyes of the robe covering his head, it was really difficult to determine his identity.

Walking in this backward town, the gravel roads that should have been in the town have been replaced by wooden bridges, and everyone relies on the connection of wooden bridges.

On top of these wooden bridges, animal excrement is also densely covered, and domestic animals such as dogs and pigs are scurrying around at will.

In just a short time, Ye Feng had already encountered several dogs passing by him, and in the homes of these wooden houses, there were also the sound of chickens crowing from time to time, it seemed that in addition to raising domestic pigs, they also raised chickens, ducks and other poultry.

So it's no wonder that there is always a stench in the town, as if it were the same smell that has entered the feedlot.

After inquiring about the location of the town hall like a patrolling guard, Night Feng also went directly to the location of the town hall.

After all, it was only a small and poor town, and any disturbance could not be hidden from the master of the town, and if he remembered correctly, the ruler of this town was a greedy official, and as long as there were gold coins to satisfy his greedy appetite, everything would be much easier.

Fortunately, Yefeng is not very short of gold coins, you must know that in the trolls' cave, he also collected thousands of gold coins.

When the guards heard that he was here to do business, they were very enthusiastic and escorted him to the town hall.

Although it was the town hall, it was actually only slightly better than the other wooden houses, and the only thing that stood out to him was the circular pool with steps and ladders leading to the lake below.

When the guards quickly entered the city hall to report, a middle-aged man in a black robe hurriedly walked out of it.

What impressed Ye Feng was that this man had a cluster of one-word eyebrows like Uncle Ying, and the entire eyebrows were connected together.

"Hello! I'm Alfred, the deputy mayor of Long Lake and a councillor. ”

"I heard you've come here to ask our mayor for business?"

Ye Feng smiled slightly: "Yes, this honorable gentleman, I am the owner of a caravan, but my caravan was attacked by a half-orc tribe on the way, and a large number of goods and personnel were intercepted by this half-orc tribe. ”

"So I'd like to hire a gang of mercenaries from the mayor to get my goods back!"

"I'm sure I'll give you a price that satisfies you!" 166 Reading Network
