Perhaps because of the great combat power shown by the two witches last night, the orcs and their wolves did not appear.

The climb over the north ladder was very smooth.

Walking out of Amenhan Mountain, Wu Chen saw two huge statues stretching out their arms, blocking all the invading enemies who tried to invade the human kingdom from the north. These two colosses, known as Argonath, were once the symbols of Gondor's northern border.

Wu Chen didn't go into the water at Lake Lanciso, because further up is the famous Sarn Gebir, a rapids full of reefs and rapids. It's about a mile long. Sarn Gaibel is so dangerous that it is almost impossible to cross by boat, and only skilled boaters have the courage to try their luck in the narrow, steep passages between the rocks.

After crossing Sarn Gaypour, the Anduin River became easier to navigate. As the banks change from steep cliffs to low hills, the river widens. The Barracuda entered the water again, and the half-elf shook his head, throwing all the events of the day out into his mind, and finally found himself. Skillfully steer the sailboat and sail upstream.

There were no more obstacles along the way, and five days later, the Barracuda arrived at the old ferry port.

And on the east bank of the river is the legendary endless dark forest.

The Dark Grove was the largest forest in Middle-earth in the Third Age. It spans about 425 miles from north to south and 200 miles from east to west at its widest point. It is roughly rectangular in shape, stretching from the foothills of the Grey Mountains in the north to the North Loop in the south, and along the Anduin valley to the Solitary Mountains from the east.

By the time they arrived at the old ferry, the half-elf's mission had been completed.

Wu Chen wanted to say goodbye to him, but the half-elf insisted on sending him to Changhu Town.

I don't know why, though. But Wu Chen agreed by the gods.

There are only a handful of roads that cross the dark forest. And the only thing that is known is the old forest road. and the elven trail that fewer people know about.

The Old Forest Road is the main road leading to the east and west ends of the dark forest. Built by the dwarves for a long time, the dwarves used the road to travel between their mines in the Iron Hills and the kingdom of Kessadûm beneath the Misty Mountains. The Old Forest Road originates in the eastern foothills of the Misty Mountains, descends along the high mountain pass, crosses the Anduin River at the Old Ferry, and enters the forest. In the late Tertiary, there was a bridge over the Anduin River at the Old Ferry, but by the end of the Tertiary period, the bridge had disappeared. The one in "The Hobbit" has a bird as his companion. Radagast, a brown-robed wizard who pulls carts with rabbits, lives in Rhosgobel in the north, on the western border of the forest, not far from the western entrance to Old Forest Road.

The Elven Trail is a little-known path through the Dark Jungle that leads from The Forest Gate on the west side of the forest to the Elvenkings Hall, and from there the Jungle River flows through it to the town of Long Lake, east of the forest. Thorin? Oak Shield's dragon slaying team is on this path.

Wu Chen, who had a clear goal and came only for the female dragon, did not intend to have an intersection with the Jungle Elf King who rode a bighorn deer. So, he decided to take the old forest road, which had almost disappeared into the forest sea and the monsters.

It was still the two witches carrying the boat, Ophelia was by Wu Chen's side, and the half-elves who were used to the two fierce girls followed behind Wu Chen.

I thought it was a difficult journey. But when he saw a tree of ten people being broken by Joan of Arc's kick, the half-elf closed his mouth in recognition.

Open the way in the mountains. Catch up with water. The huge spider, which had no eyes, was shot by Ophelia's crossbow before it even rushed in front of the witch. And judging from the extremely miserable deaths, they were all poisoned.

Just kidding, the old lady is a mutant!

The last giant tree, which did not have long eyes, was blown away by Joan of Arc's feet, and his vision was empty.

The roaring river not far away is not the rushing river!

Wu Chen never knew that this waterway would be like this...... Busy.

It wasn't until he noticed that the player marks were becoming more and more obvious on these sailboats of different sizes that he woke up. As the center of the entire story world, Lonely Mountain is the destination of countless players!

When he arrived at the bustling Changhu Town, Wu Chen finally couldn't help but sigh.

The player's power is so strong.

The inns were obviously full. Most of the houses are also rented by players, and as for the home of the legendary archer Bud, it has long been classified as a forbidden area by high-level players!

If anyone accidentally affects the plot, just wait to be dismembered by a knife!

No way, Wu Chen can only live on the ship temporarily. Moreover, I didn't even enter the water gate of Changhu Town!

Sailing boats of different sizes circled around Changhu Town, but wherever they could park their boats, they were spotted and moored in various difficult positions, and they couldn't squeeze in at all!

It is said that Thorin's dragon slayer team has recruited a large number of men and has become a veritable army of dragon slayers! Of course, there is also a variety of financial support along with it. To put it bluntly, it is not difficult for the current dwarf king at the bottom of the mountain to buy the entire Changhu Town!

However, the death of Smaug and the appearance of an even more powerful Charizard halted the Dwarven King's efforts to reclaim his homeland.

In a sense, this is also the result of the automatic balancing of the plot world. Don't you have a lot of people and a lot of money, then I will make a six-star dragon to guard the golden mountain, and I have the ability to rush to the old lady!

So, the plot died here all at once.

As a result, the player rolls more and more, and the dragon inside sleeps more and more.

If the stalemate continues, the dwarves will eventually miss the day of Turin and will not be able to find the keyhole that opens the secret door. I can only survive until the next year.

After thinking about it, Wu Chen decided to go to River Valley Town to see the situation. Although the secret passage can only be opened by Thorin's key, it is not possible to go directly to the main entrance.

Smaug kicked the hall directly from the main entrance!

However, when he arrived at the ferry port in River Valley by boat. Look up, I'll go!

Is this still a ruin in the world of the story? It's a bustling town, okay?

Whether it is a player or not, in a specific situation, can recognize each other at a glance. And the most popular thing in the shelter right now is the post of '0326 single-handedly went to Middle-earth to surrender the female tyrannosaurus'. So as soon as he arrived in Riverdale, some of the advanced players recognized him.

Soon, Wu Chen was respectfully invited into the renovated city hall.

And the people waiting in it are all 'advanced players' in this story world.

"Your Lord." Players saluted.

It's a form of respect.

Wu Chen was not hypocritical, and sincerely returned the salute: "Hello everyone." ”

"My lord, I heard that you came to subdue the she-dragon?" One player couldn't help but ask.

"That's right." Wu Chen nodded with a smile.

"I'll tell you the truth, in fact, the high-level stalkers among us, and even one of our grandmaster-level thieves, have secretly infiltrated the Lonely Mountain, however, they have never returned."

Wu Chen frowned slightly: "Are you sure they didn't return to the shelter?" ”

"Nope. They are still in Middle-earth. ”

In other words, they were all in the lonely mountain at this time.

I remember that the female player said that after the female dragon devoured the Akon Gem, she was promoted to the Phantom Dragon God.

The name is not difficult to understand literally, and it can be transformed into a virtual image, or a shapeshifting shadow. Anyway, it has something to do with illusion. Those masters who infiltrated alone neither died nor came out, obviously falling into an abnormal state. Referring to the nickname of the mother dragon, Wu Chen felt that it must be related to illusion.

"I want to explore the Lonely Mountain, do you have any suggestions?" Wu Chen thought for a moment before speaking.

"......" The crowd looked at each other, and the player who spoke earlier said, "My lord, this is too dangerous. We ......"

"I didn't want you to accompany me, I just wanted to ask if there were any good suggestions." Wu Chen explained with a smile.

"This ......" the player shook his head, "none of us have ever been in, and none of the people who have gone in have ever returned, so we really don't have much to say." ”

"Okay then." Wu Chen spread his hands, "Can you arrange a place for me to live?" ”

"No problem, no problem!" Finally something can be done.

The housing allocated to Wu Chen should be the former residence of a certain big man. Although it is not known whether this big man escaped the catastrophe of Smaug's eruption, it doesn't matter now. The furniture and carpets are new. Whether it is workmanship or style, Wu Chen is full of praise, and the style is also perfectly integrated with Middle Earth.

Obviously, there must be a lifestyle player here who is very good at carpentry.

Not to mention the three major guilds in the science fiction world that Wu Chen has encountered, even ordinary guilds will have people who specialize in the profession of the life department.

Although he didn't know if there were three major guilds in the magic world, Wu Chen was not worried.

Because in the magical world, Wu Chen has no enemies.

Please ask the player who sent him to find a skilled craftsman. Soon, a dwarf player stepped into Wu Chen's door.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

"If you're the best craftsman here, then I'm looking for you." Wu Chen said with a smile.

"What do you want to build, my lord?" As soon as he heard the words 'skilled craftsman', the player immediately straightened his back. Obviously, he is very confident in his craft.

"A ship." Wu Chen smiled and spread out the drawings, motioning for the dwarf player to step forward.

Just glancing at the old oak scroll, the dwarf said, "Elven magic scroll." ”

Signaling Wu Chen to retreat, the dwarf took out a small long-spouted silver kettle, shook off some silver powder, and then blew lightly, accompanied by the shining magic light, a magic image flew out of the paper and floated in the air.

After staring intently at the spaceship for a long time, the dwarven player finally let out a sigh and raised his head tiredly: "Foaming flower, Wickilott." ”

"That's right, it's Wickilott." The fact that this is a ship means that the dwarven player does have two brushes.

The dwarven player nodded: "You also want to go to Amen Continent?" ”

"Huh?" (To be continued......)
