Chapter 8 Detour
"Whew~"
There was not a single ray of light in the overcast sky, and the sky was so dark that it was impossible to know whether the sun in the clouds had set or not. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sun could only pass through the thick clouds, not even a speck of light fell, and the earth fell into a dull black.
In such a dark environment, Wang Yonghao could barely feel the position of the sun, but he was also isolated from the transmission of most of the energy.
Walking to a low-lying hilly mountain stream, the team was repairing in place, the dwarves were sharpening the blades of their weapons given to them by Wang Yonghao with small pieces of [Dripping Blue] whetstones, and Thorin Oak Shield was also discussing with Wang Yonghao the blades of [Beast Biting Sword] and [Enemy Fencing].
They were waiting, waiting for Bilbo Baggins, who had gone to explore his way, to return.
It's been ten months since Gandalf and Thorin Oakshield spoke in the tavern in the Brie region, and the whole team has become accustomed to the current way of matching.
Therefore, no one will doubt that Mr. Bilbo Baggins is not up to his job as a snitch.
In fact, after Wang Yonghao gave him a [Power Ring] that could be invisible, Bilbo Baggins's work as a scout snitch became even more handy.
Wang Yonghao did this to make up for the hard injuries caused by the plot, he came to clean up Sauron, not to sabotage.
The biggest advantage of a person like him now is his cognition and familiarity with the plot, so he also needs to do his best to restore the normal trajectory of the plot.
It seems that killing a blasphemer Azog will lead to the next molester, Ayog, stepping forward, but if Bilbo Baggins doesn't become invisible, I'm afraid it will be a big deal.
They had not waited long before the howl of wolves between the mountains could be heard in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer, almost approaching the area where they were.
Because the light of the fire can cause unnecessary trouble, Wang Yonghao handed out freshly ground coffee and steaming passion seed cake and minced pork pie to the crowd "from Brie's house".
They listened to the wolf howl and waited for Bilbo Baggins, who had gone to investigate the situation, to return, but they were not worried.
However, in the midst of this wolf howl, which echoed from the top of the mountain, a huge roar of the oathed territory was suddenly heard.
I guess it was the approach of the wolf's howl that angered this unknown being?
This huge roar silenced all the wolf howls, and the pheromones emitted by the powerful threatening meaning contained in it told all the creatures who heard this roar nearby that he was the master of this place!
With this loud roar, all the dwarves jerked to their feet, put down the meat pie and cake in their hands, and lifted the weapons leaning on their sides.
Everyone was nervously guarded, for the cry was too close to them, and the sound was too powerful and powerful.
In a sloping path in this hidden mountain stream, a light figure ran out, a hobbit in an ochre-red casual top and black pants.
"Mr. Baggins is back!"
Fili, who was looking around, shouted loudly.
The dwarves gathered around and looked at Mr. Bilbo Baggins with concern.
Thorin held the [Beast Bite Sword] and asked eagerly, "How far are we from the pursuers?" ”
"It's close!"
Bilbo took a moment to breathe and continued, "It's less than two leagues (six miles), but it's not the worst!" ”
With two short-handled single-edged axes on his back, Dwalin asked, "Could it be that someone smells us?" ”
"Not yet, but maybe they'll be able to determine our location soon, it's only a matter of time,"
The dwarves had surrounded Bilbo Baggins in the middle, and Bilbo continued to look worried, "We have bigger troubles. ”
"They found you?"
Old Balin looked up at the path from which he had come, and asked the hobbits with concern.
Bilbo looked back at old Bahrain and said, "I'm not talking about this ......"
Old Balin triumphantly patted Wang Yonghao on the shoulder and said to everyone: "How about it, my apprentice, is really as silent as I said a mouse, and he is born to be the material of the snitch!" ”
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Groyin laughed and said, "Hobbits are indeed born snitches, well, and mages!" ”
"Listen to me, everybody!"
Everyone laughed happily, but Bilbo raised his hands and said a little anxiously, "Listen to me, everybody!" What I'm telling you is that there's something around here. ”
The dwarves' smiles faded and became official, they had just heard that loud roar, and now they wanted to know what it was.
Bilbo continued: "A huge thing! ”
Everyone in the team became even more nervous, because the shocking roar was still in their ears, and they couldn't help but be nervous!
Wang Yonghao imitated Gandalf's tone in the movie and asked, "What does it look like?" Giant black bears? ”
Everyone who said this became nervous, and they estimated that if it was a giant black bear weighing several tons, what were the chances of them defeating?
You must know that in this wild part of Middle-earth, a large bear that can grow to be called a giant black bear must weigh several tons, and its strong muscles and heavy fur are immune to almost most physical attacks.
Before the dwarf team was transformed without accepting Wang Yonghao's equipment, it was not too difficult to kill a black bear or brown bear, but a giant black bear was really enough for them.
Everyone looked nervously at Bilbo, waiting for his answer.
Even Bilbo Baggins was stunned when he said this, he didn't expect this monster king Yonghao to guess what it was?
He stammered, "Yes, yes, but, but much bigger than the average giant black bear!" ”
"Do you know what this monster is?" Pang Bo saw that Wang Yonghao knew some foundations, and hurriedly asked him.
Wang Yonghao suddenly found that he was a little messed up, after all, he was not Gandalf, his apparent identity was just a newborn Maia, he couldn't understand the world like Gandalf, and he didn't have Gandalf's face in front of the skin-changer.
The other dwarves had already started talking, and some said, "We have set foot in the territory of this great monster forever, no matter what it is?" We should leave immediately. ”
Others said, "Where else can I go if I leave here, surrounded by the orcs who are chasing after me, and then fight them?" ”
There was a lot of discussion for a while, so that Wang Yonghao knew that it was time for him to speak, he sorted out his thoughts and said: "I once heard people say, there is a house near here, maybe it can provide us with shelter, but maybe not, there is a guy with a strange temper living there, I think it's better not to provoke." ”
The dwarves still looked at him in unison, listening to his decision.
The more Wang Yonghao spoke, the more relaxed he became: "We are not suitable for direct contact with this strange-tempered guy, I am not Gandalf after all, I don't have his face, let me say let's take a detour." ”
