In Braytown, well, actually, after a night's rest at the Prancing Horse Inn, the members of the Lone Mountain Expedition were busy again.

Next up is the 'Eastern Boulevard'. Although it bears the name of the avenue, it is not a regular road that was built intentionally, but a route that was inadvertently opened up because people have walked too much.

The road sprawls through the wilderness, the road is in terrible condition, and it is difficult to touch people.

If there are no people, there is no way to stay, or even to replenish supplies. Then, in order to ensure that there are no accidents on the next trip, it is inevitable to prepare in advance in Bray Town.

It took a bit of time to collect the bits and pieces, and by the time everything was ready, it was already five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, it was too inappropriate to go on the road at this time, so the group had to stay in the Prancing Horse Inn for another night.

It is worth mentioning that there was a bard who happened to stay at the inn that night.

The dwarves in the expedition are all masters who can't calm down, and most of the others who stay in the inn are mercenaries, and they also like to be lively. With the dwarves taking the lead and the mercenaries actively cooperating, the bard was invited by the big guy to perform a few of his best songs.

This was the first time that human music had been heard in Middle-earth, and it had been heard at a banquet in Habiton. This kind of experience also made Chu Xiaobai somewhat novel.

Interestingly, Chu Xiaobai was not the only one who felt novel, after seeing him and his companions, the bard also felt very novel. Well, by the way, it's not Bilbo, Dwarf, or Gandalf, it's Silva and Fireball who have been out of space since they set off.

He has traveled to many places, but it is the first time that a bard has seen a traveler like Chu Xiaobai with a young dragon and a little guy who doesn't know the race. Even if Chu Xiaobai didn't have wizards, dwarves, and hobbits around him, just because of those two little guys, the bard already had a deep impression of him in his mind, and he couldn't help but have the idea of writing him into his work.

Of course, that's all for later, so I won't talk about it for now.

After a lively night, and a long night's sleep, the expedition finally left the Prancing Horse Inn early the next morning.

From this point on, the adventure officially begins.

"It's really desolate here~." After walking for more than an hour, the scenery had already begun to become desolate. Comparing the scenery in front of him with the Habiton in his own life, Bilbo couldn't help but sigh.

The hobbit's greatest hobby is good food, followed by farming on fertile land. The vast expanse of open space was so barren that Bilbo was somewhat overwhelmed.

"No way, the environment here is too dangerous. Not only are there all kinds of beasts, but there are also occasional orcs, and almost no one wants to live in such a place. "Although the destination is the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves are not very familiar with the path. The guide was Gandalf, who knew more about the situation here.

"Orcs?" I've only heard it, but I've never seen it before, and remembering the images he imagined when he listened to his mother's stories when he was a child, Bilbo unconsciously showed a somewhat worried expression.

"Yes, that's them. As far as I know, there are some goblin orcs living in this area. Gandalf continued, "They're not the most dangerous, though, and by the time we reach the vicinity of the Chet Forest, the pale orcs living there will be even more dangerous." ”

The so-called pale orcs are actually hunting teams among the orcs. They rode tall wolves, mostly in the middle of the night, and moved quickly and accurately, silently, and for the vast majority of humans in the wild, the orc hunting party known as the 'Throat Cutter' was as terrifying as death. 【】

The more Bilbo listened, the more frightened he became.

The dwarves all had angry expressions, especially the oak shield Thorin, whose facial features began to twist as soon as he heard the pale orcs.

It's no wonder that the dwarves reacted in this way, after all, the pale orcs and dwarves were mortal enemies.

Back when the kingdom of Irubbe was occupied by Smaug, the dwarves were left homeless and displaced. Knowing that he and his subjects could not handle the dragons, the Dwarven King at the time, Thorin's father, thought of another way out, and he planned to return to his older homeland of Moria, where he would resettle his people.

However, before Thor and the dwarves could succeed, another force reached Moriah before they did. It was the Pale Orc army led by the most terrifying orc 'Destroyer' Azog. Because of their actions, the dwarves who still live in Moriath have been exterminated.

Azog's goal was to exterminate the dwarves of Turin, and in fact, he almost did just that—not satisfied with the capture of Moria, he turned his blade on Thor and his people.

Whether to protect themselves or to retake Moria, Thor and his people must fight Azog in a life-and-death battle.

It was during that great battle that the dwarves who survived the dragon's jaws suffered another great blow, not only with numerous casualties, but also with their king Thor, who lost his trace in the battle.

There weren't many people left, and the dwarves had finally lost their last hope.

Time has turned to the present, although there are still some dwarves alive, but they have lost their homes, and they are like dead people who cannot see the future. For any living dwarf, Azog and his legion of pale orcs were undoubtedly a more hated enemy than Smaug, who had only taken their homes from them, while Azog had destroyed the dwarves' last hope.

Before he knew it, the atmosphere in the group had become somber and solemn, and seeing the dwarves so sad and angry, Bilbo lost his conversation.

He continued to walk silently, and half a day passed, and when night fell and he began to camp and rest, the atmosphere was slightly relaxed.

"Bilbo, you can help Bombo make dinner together, I'll take a look around." With the help of fireballs, the dwarves quickly built a bonfire. Seeing that it was time to make dinner, Chu Xiaobai took out the ingredients from the space and arranged a task for Bilbo.

When it comes to cooking skills, Bilbo is not Chu Xiaobai's opponent. However, Chu Xiaobai didn't have time to cook at this time, he planned to go to the neighborhood to investigate, not only to scout if there were any objects worth being wary of, but also to try to get some game - the next journey is still long, the materials in the space may not be able to support the destination, in order to ensure continuous pause, it is also a matter of course to collect some ingredients on the way.

"I'll go with you~." Bilbo nodded, and went to help Bomb fight. The other dwarf, Dwarin, picked up the axe and walked to Chu Xiaobai's side.

What Chu Xiaobai said before really disgusted the dwarves, but with a few days of contact, the dwarves have already felt the kindness in Chu Xiaobai's heart. Maybe they didn't see him as a friend yet, but at this time, the dwarves had already regarded Chu Xiaobai as a teammate who needed to support each other.

"Okay." Originally, he wanted to refuse Devalin, after all, he could move faster alone. However, thinking that it was still necessary to maintain the relationship with the dwarves and not be too stiff, Chu Xiaobai still nodded and agreed to his companions.

Armed with their weapons, the two left the makeshift camp and made their way to a nearby grove.

The reason for Feng Lin Mo still understands, but the area of this grove is not large, and it doesn't look like any fierce beast, so the two of them will ignore that reason and come here to collect food.

"Huh?" As soon as he entered the forest, Chu Xiaobai found the prey, which was a big bird hiding in the treetops.

Dwarin also saw the bird: "Damn, if only there was a crossbow with a handle." ”

Chu Xiaobai was carrying a short sword in his hand, and Devalin only brought an axe, and neither of them had long-range weapons in their hands, so they thought that there was no way to take the big bird, so Devalin would be so unwilling.

"There is no crossbow, but there is a bow and arrow."

"yes, how did I forget, you can conjure it." Seeing the bow and arrow in Chu Xiaobai's hand, Devalin remembered his ability to take things from space.

"Shh~, be quiet~." In his excitement, Dwalin's voice was a little louder. Afraid that the big bird would be frightened away, Chu Xiaobai hurriedly made a silent gesture.

Bending his bow and arrows, he aimed at the big bird in the treetops, and after a breath, Chu Xiaobai shot the first arrow.

With a whoosh, the shadow of the arrow crossed the air and pinned exactly to the big bird's body, and with a wail before dying, the big bird fell from the branch and fell into the bushes below.

The first prey was easily obtained, and this big bird was not the last prey of the two of them on this trip. In the following time, Dwarin witnessed Chu Xiaobai's archery several times.

"You're awesome enough~!" The situation of harvesting prey again and again made Dwarin unconsciously excited, and also made him forget the last little bit of unhappiness with Chu Xiaobai. As soon as his subconscious senses changed, he returned to his usual attitude towards people and things, and praised Chu Xiaobai with a grin: "I've seen those long-eared people shoot arrows before, and you are even more powerful than them, hahahaha~!"
