In the middle of the night, Sunrise sees a group of dwarves who have woken up and relays Gandalf's words to them.
Without any communication or friction, Chenyang and the others left the valley overnight with Baggins, who had not yet woken up, and continued to march towards the lonely mountain.
As for Gandalf, Chenyang doesn't know when he'll follow, or even if he'll come back.
At that time, Gandalf not only asked him to take the team away, but also asked him to take care of the team, which naturally meant something self-evident.
Sometimes having a wizard on the team is a very important thing.
Although Chenyang is not a wizard, his abilities in all aspects are no worse than that of wizards, and he is better at fighting, which is just right for this kind of expedition full of dangers.
Along the path of the valley, Chenyang and the others had a sound-absorbing black membrane attached to their feet, quietly bypassed the group of elves, left the elf castle smoothly, and continued along the route of the map.
They walked up the plains of the withered yellow meadows, and the sun had just risen.
The elves didn't notice the team's departure until this moment, and they didn't know until this moment that Gandalf had stayed here for so long, not just to discuss with them the feasibility of this plan, but also to give the dwarves a chance, to give him a chance.
After walking through the valley, the environment behind will become more and more severe and dangerous, and the dwarves will not take their horses with them in order to hide their leave, but can only rely on their own legs.
As a result, the amount of time they spend will increase dramatically.
In order not to miss the time to open the gates on the day of Dulin, the dwarves unanimously decided to abandon the avenue originally chosen for cycling and instead head towards a more rugged trail.
If they crossed the trail at a normal pace, it would not be much slower than if they were to cross the trail on horseback, the only problem was that the route was too dangerous.
After walking through this wasteland, there are snow-capped mountains, cold and rugged, and the ground is slippery, and it is easy for people to step into the air, fall down the snowy mountains, and become a cold corpse.
Of course, in order to recover their country, the dwarves did not complain, they had long been accustomed to living at home, and this was not the first time they had come into contact with this environment.
The only person in this team who doesn't fit in is probably the hobbit we've been living in the fertile plains, Lord Baggins.
There was nothing to say all the way, and the Solo team barely chatted this day, and most of the time they were in a silent hurry, which made the team present an extremely anxious atmosphere.
This kind of atmosphere, even Baggins was affected, he didn't complain or open his mouth along the way, just followed the team all the time, silently hurrying.
The few happy moments are only when they make a fire and cook, in addition to the dry food they brought out from the valley, Chenyang will prepare an extra piece of food.
Of course, the food prepared by Chenyang, they all like to stay after eating the dry food, so as not to be unable to swallow the dry and rough dry food after eating those delicious foods.
Full of wine and food, Chenyang's group of people sat next to a big rock, spread their legs and leaned against the stone, some of them holding a pipe in their hands, enjoying a rare leisure time.
Chenyang didn't enjoy it as much as they did, and there were always a few people who had accidents, or fell, or the soles of their feet were cut by stones on the side of the road.
They often don't speak, so as not to slow down the pace of the team, so they can only continue to walk forward one step at a time.
Finally, with some time, Chenyang naturally couldn't let them move forward with injuries, and the effect of the Wood Spirit Healing Technique on this kind of trauma was still very good.
One after another, during this period of rest, Chenyang barely stopped, helping the group of wounded people to recover from their injuries, although they did not fully recover, but there was no problem in continuing to hurry.
After dealing with these wounded in Chenyang, it was hard to rest for a while.
Thorin Oakshield stood up and looked at the somewhat gloomy sky: "Let's go, the weather is not good now, hurry up, maybe you can find a cave to rest in time before the rainstorm."
After a short rest for dinner, the dwarves were in high spirits again, and they packed their bags and continued towards the winding mountains.
Lightning and thunder roared, and dark clouds gathered together, and from time to time a huge thunder comparable to a lion and tiger erupted, accompanied by blazing white lightning.
As Thorin Oakshield said, the rain soon came.
As they clinged to the mountain wall and walked on a rugged mountain road that could only be passed by one person, there was a sudden boom, and a heavy rain fell, and the dense raindrops fell on their faces, making it difficult for them to see the road ahead.
At the same time, it also wets the mountain road, making the mountain road smoother, and if you are not careful, you may fall, fall to the bottom of the mountain hundreds of meters down, and become a torn corpse.
After a long journey, everyone was panting, and the long trek had made them no longer strong, and this rainstorm at this time would be nothing more than worse for them.
Suddenly, Baggins screamed, his legs stepped on the ground, and suddenly slipped, the whole person's center of gravity was unstable, and he fell towards the outside of the mountain road, and he could fall to the bottom of the mountain in the next second.
Suddenly, a withered yellow thorn wrapped around his body.
The thorn, which was only the thickness of a thumb and looked like it would break at the slightest pull, was super flexible, and it grabbed Baggins when he was about to fall.
Chenyang grabbed the thorn with his right hand and pulled Baggins back into the mountain path, and the dwarves on both sides hurriedly supported him to prevent him from falling again.
At the same time, the thorn slowly grew, and the spikes on the surface became very, very few, wrapping around each dwarf's arm.
"The mountain road is too slippery on rainy days, so everyone grabs the thorns and takes care of each other." Chenyang walked at the back and said loudly.
Baggins looked at the thorns wrapped around his waist, still with fear in his eyes, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva and nodded heavily.
Walking in the front, Suo Lin, who was responsible for leading the way, braved the wind and rain, checked the surrounding situation, and shouted: "There is a cave ahead, let's rush over first!"
Now in this environment, this sentence is even better than the delicious food prepared by Chenyang, and the team regained their spirits and quickened their pace.
It was only in their ears that a deafening sound sounded again.
The sound was similar to thunder, but it was not thunder, it sounded a little muffled, like the muffled sound of a boulder rolling down a mountain.
If it was really a boulder tumbling down, then it would not be good news for Chenyang to them, a boulder could fall down, and it might knock all of them into flesh.
Walking around the corner of the mountain road, Chenyang and the others finally saw the source of the intermittent loud noise, which was two stone giants taller than the mountain.
With rocks as their bodies, they swung their fists on this thunderstormy night, each punch being a splash of countless rocks.
For Chenyang for them.
The movement caused by the fight between the two stone giants is no less dangerous than a small earthquake or a mudslide.
