"Mr. Baggins, you can wait here for your companions, I think they will come out soon." He Xie turned his head and looked down at the hobbit, "Let's say goodbye." ”

"Oh sir," cried Bilbo Baggins hurriedly, now sure that Ho Evil had no ill will towards him, and that he was not wary of it. "I'm sorry to ask for your name now, it's rude......"

"Ho." He Xie smiled, "You can call me that." ”

"Ho ......" Bilbo chewed on the somewhat strange name, and by the time he tried to speak, Ho's back had disappeared into the thin morning mist.

"What a mysterious ranger...... he muttered to himself with some envy.

He Xie knew that the plot at this time should be on the way for Bilbo Baggins and the thirteen dwarves to go to the Lonely Mountain to eradicate the evil dragon Smaug and regain the land and treasures of the dwarven Dulin Kingdom, but he did not choose to stay and get close to Bilbotao, and then take the opportunity to join this expedition.

First, he didn't think that he could gain the trust of Gandalf and the dwarves at will, and second, this matter was not profitable for He Xie except to experience a battle of life and death.

He Xie couldn't wait to find a secluded place and try the power of the One Ring, but at this moment, he heard the sound of a wolf howling, which pierced through the mist, accompanied by the sound of hooves running like a storm, and clearly reached his ears.

He Xie's face did not change, but he quickened his pace.

He didn't want to ask for trouble.

However, many times, the trouble comes to the door on its own.

Three kilometers away from He Xie, a group of cavalry shuttled through the forest at great speed.

It was a group of strong, tall orcs, and those cave orcs were almost child-sized compared to them.

And they don't ride horses, but wolves, wolves.

Tall as a horse, they have the weight and speed of a horse, but they are more ferocious and cunning than wolves.

Although the leader of the orcs looked similar to the other orcs, he was pale, and even the wolves under him were snow-white.

It had one wrist-to-wrist snap, a blood-stained steel claw, and a massive four-edged axe in the other.

In the middle of the wild run, the pale orc suddenly shouted, and dozens of wolf riders suddenly stopped.

It twitched its nose and said in orc language, "Human! It's the breath of human beings, and it's still fresh! ”

Its eyes glowed with a green glow, and a cruel look appeared on its face: "There should be no humans here, it must be the reinforcements of the dwarves, find him, kill him!" ”

"Roar!"

The wolves and the orcs roared in unison, chasing the scent left behind by He Xie, and rushed towards the other side.

As soon as this side moved, He Xie on the other side instantly sensed it, he frowned slightly, shook his head helplessly, simply stopped, turned around and stood with his hands in his hands, waiting for the enemy's trace.

At the same time, an old man wearing a pointed hat and holding a gem-encrusted cane, dressed in a gray robe, rushed out of the cave where He Xie had just walked out with a group of dwarves.

Bilbo Baggins, who had been guarding the entrance of the cave for a long time, saw them and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Gandalf! Thorin! ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and their faces showed incredible looks.

"Bilbo! How is this possible? ”

"How did you get out?"

"How did you escape the orcs?"

The dwarves asked in a shout.

"Run! Get out of here first! Gandalf shouted, "The danger is not over, and it is not time to relax and say hello, run, quick!" ”

The crowd immediately began to run wildly again, but they had not gone far before they heard the howl of a wolf not far ahead.

Gandalf, who was at the front, suddenly changed his face, suddenly stopped and raised his hand, and hurriedly shouted, "Stop!" Be quiet! ”

The dwarves stopped suddenly, and one of them rolled directly after he didn't have time to stop.

The leading dwarves are none other than the leader of this group of dwarves and a descendant of the House of Durin, Thorin Oak Shield.

His face was heavy, and he listened carefully for a while, and his face couldn't help but show surprise, and he pointed in the direction of the east and said, "The wolf has ridden over there!" Why? ”

"It's like you're chasing someone." Gandalf also had doubts in his eyes, he couldn't imagine why these orcs who had chased them all the way would suddenly give up on them and chase others.

At this moment, on the other side, He Xie and the half-orcs were already in close contact, and the battle was about to break out, screaming and roaring, and the sound of soldiers intersecting suddenly came.

The dwarves looked at each other.

"Would you like to go over and have a look?" A white-bearded dwarf asked Thorin Oak Shield.

"I think we'd better not be nosy, Bahrain." Another handsome dwarf.

"Chili is right, we should take the opportunity to escape and get rid of these orcs!"

"Don't you wonder who is fighting the orcs?" "It sounds like only one man, but he can face the siege of the wolf riders." ”

"Maybe I know who it is!" Bill Bo Baggins' eyes suddenly lit up and said.

All the people looked at him.

"Yes! It had to be him! "He's a human ranger with black eyes and yellow skin......"

"Come on, where are there such humans?" One of the dwarves scoffed, "Also, how can there be such a strange name as 'Ho'?" ”

"Don't interject, Groyin!" Gandalf glared at the dwarf in displeasure, then looked at Bilbo, "Bilbo, how do you know him?" ”

"I met him in the middle of a dark mountain stream," Bilbo Baggins said, giving him a helpless look at Groyin, "and there he slew an evil-looking monster, his sword as fast as the wind, and in the darkness it shines as brightly as the sun." ”

At this, Bilbo Bakingston paused, for he saw the dwarves skeptically look at each other.

"What I said was true, I swear." "He seems to have snatched one of that monster's rings, a ring that shimmers with golden light, and the monster calls it a treasure......"

"Rings? Baby? Gandalf was shocked and said eagerly, "Bilbo, are you sure the monster said that?" Can you recognize what race the monster is? ”

"I'm sure he said that." Bilbo Baggins nodded, "But I don't know what race he is, he doesn't look like an orc, he doesn't look like a hobbit or a dwarf, but he's as short as I am, and he crawls on all fours." ”

Gandalf's face was cloudy and uncertain, as if thoughtful, he looked in the direction from which the roars of the fighting were coming and made a sudden decision.

"Thorin, let's go take a look." He said, "If necessary, we will fight alongside him and fight off the half-orc wolf riders together." ”

Thorin Oak Shield shook his head, "I don't think it's a good idea, and we've wasted too much time by listening to a ridiculous story here." Gandalf, we have an important mission. ”

"But that's not a reason to dismiss kindness." Gandalf stared at him with blazing eyes, "When will the descendants of Durin be able to ignore the evil of the orcs and remain indifferent?" No matter who he is, he has helped us, and we should help him! ”
