Needless to say, it must have been this hapless hunter who fell prey to the bear.

Bilbo was also standing in front of the pony, and he knew the importance of the horse, and watched with great fear as Mo Tie slowly walked past.

The dwarves surrounded the city in a semicircle, and slowly approached the giant bear.

Of course, long-range attacks and harassment tactics are required to deal with such beasts, and Thorin's nephew, Chili, is the best archery among the dwarves, and he sneaks up on the roof of the house and shoots an arrow at the bear's head.

The roaring bear hair and hard skull blocked the arrow, and also annoyed the giant bear, which stood up, almost five meters high, and the bear's claws slapped into the roof, fortunately the curiosity was quick to dodge, otherwise it would have hung up.

The other dwarves took the opportunity to attack the bear with their throwing axes, and if the arrows couldn't break through its defenses, the axes should do.

At least three axes have left wounds on the bear, while also fueling its bloodiness and making it even more insane.

The Giant Bear gave up Chili and pounced on the surrounding dwarves instead. However, the dwarves cooperated well, and the one on the left quickly retreated, and while the giant bear was chasing, a few on the right attacked again with axes, pulling the hatred back.

When the bear turned to the right, the dwarves on the left followed suit and threw axes.

In this way, the giant bear was easily killed by their guerrilla attacks, and in the end, the huge giant bear lost too much blood and was so badly injured that he fell to the ground with a thud, his belly heaving violently, and he struggled to get up.

Dwalin gave it a few blows with a large axe, killing it once and for all.

The identities of the hunter and the prey are flipped again.

Bilbo watched all this from behind, and he felt that there must be no danger along the way, the dwarves have strength and intelligence, and there is no better teammate than them.

Gandalf looked at the evening sky and said, "Let's rest here and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

The skeleton of the giant bear was too big to be taken away like a wolf corpse, so he simply rested here for a night, cut off all the flesh and sorted it, and then raided the hunter's hut, and the rations for more than a month were gone.

During the break, Gandalf asked Mo Tie, "Ain, what do you think of these dwarves?" They were all warriors who had fought in the Battle of Moria. ”

Mo Tie nodded and said, "They are indeed very brave and experienced. ”

"Do you think they'll succeed?" Gandalf asked again.

Mo Tie couldn't hold back a smile: "Do you want me to tell the truth?" Of course, if you are willing to bear my loss, I will also give you the answer you want. ”

Gandalf was speechless for a moment, and took a puff of his cigarette before he said, "Ain, I still have hope in them, just as I believe that Middle-earth can overcome the darkness. ”

Mo Tie nodded and smiled: "I believe it too, Gandalf." ”

"Two gentlemen, do you need some hot water?"

Bilbo walked over to them with a water bottle and asked. There were a lot of supplies in this Orion's house, and everyone even drank hot coffee.

As he poured the water, Bilbo asked with a huff, "Gandalf, have you really killed a dragon?" How many killed? ”

Gandalf nearly choked on his cigarette.

Mo Tie bent down, grabbed Bilbo's shoulders, and took him away. The old man's face still needs to be maintained.

Early the next morning, the crowd continued on their way, and Bilbo was in high spirits, and if the journey was like this, he would not be afraid at all.

Half a month has passed, and the group of the Lonely Mountain Project has walked through meadows and woods, through swamps and lakes, repelled wild wolves, and driven away mountain goats.

Finally they came to the first mountain, the top of the storm.

"Let's go up, we finally have a chance to rest." Gandalf led the way, and everyone went up the mountain.

In the evening, Bilbo found everyone relaxed, much more relaxed than every night before, which was so strange. Pomber even let out a loud snoring in relaxation.

Suddenly, there were several terrible roars in the distance, as if they had a terrifying effect, more ferocious than a wolf howl, more ferocious than a tiger's roar, what the hell is this?

"What's that?" Bilbo hurriedly asked Fili and Chili, who were at vigil.

"Orc ......," Chili said a word slowly and quietly.

"Orcs?" In Bilbo's memory, orcs only existed in the ancient legends of Ancestor Tuk, and he had never seen or heard of them in person.

These ghost-crying wolf howls gave him the most intuitive first impression of the orcs - ferocious, terrible!

"That's right, man-eating devil. There were many outside, all over the plains of Middle-earth, and in the wee hours of the morning travelers would attack acquaintances, and there was a quick silence, no screams, only blood and broken bones all over the ground. ”

Filip explained to Bilbo in a low tone, exaggerating the atmosphere of horror.

Bilbo looked down in a panic, trying to see if there were any active black spots on the flat ground in the distance.

Thorin immediately stood up and reprimanded his two nephews, and if the snitch was scared, it would be a big joke.

"You think being attacked by orcs at night is a joke? I really don't know the world. ”

"Sorry, we didn't mean anything." Chili hastened to apologize.

Mo Tie patted Bilbo's head and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Bilbo, if you go one-on-one, you can finish off a half-orc, trust me." ”

Gandalf was on guard, staring at the plains below the mountain, and when he heard Mo Tie's words, he also interjected: "That's right, Bilbo, you should believe Ain, he has killed more orcs than all the people you have ever seen combined. ”

Bilbo recalled the scene where Mo Tie shot nine wolves with one arrow, and slowly calmed down.

Balin is the most sedate of the dwarves, and he recalls the war between Thorin's grandfather, Thor, in Moria, and the giant orc Asog of Gondaba.

“…… Thor died at the hands of Asog, but Thorin cut off his left arm. So, the huge orc swore that he would kill all the dwarves of the Turin family. ”

Following Bahrain's memories, Bilbo seemed to have experienced the heartbreaking war, and he looked at Thorin's back and felt that the trip had more meaning.

After the night had passed, they set out again, and soon crossed the top of the storm and returned to the plain. This time, Bilbo knew that they were lucky not to encounter the orcs in the night, so they had to be more careful in the back.

Crossing the Missesel River and approaching the Troll Forest, the dwarves only dared to travel during the day, as Gandalf said that the trolls were now also operating on the outskirts of the forest.

Finding an abandoned manor, the group tied up their horses and went into the house, intending to make a fire and cook it.

"Fili, Chili, look good for the horses." Thorin commanded.

However, when Bilbo came out with two bowls of hot broth, he didn't see them.

A closer look at the woods revealed that they had entered. Bilbo hurriedly followed, and said, "You two, at least finish dinner first." ”
