Don't look at the fact that they always sleep for years, and after falling asleep, they don't move at all as if they are dead, in fact, Smaug and even the dragons that have existed in Middle-earth have very sensitive five senses. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the slightest sound, the dragon senses and wakes up from its slumber.

Moreover, Smaug was still a miser, and he was extremely concerned about his treasures, so out of wariness of thieves, his nerves were a little more sensitive than those of his predecessors.

The dwarves had always been rude, and even if they kept their mouths shut, the movement they made during their movements was enough to wake Smaug up.

So, in order to prevent Smaug from being awakened, Bilbo had to embark on the last short journey alone. As for the dwarves, they can only stay far away in a secret room in the dark tunnel, waiting for news from Bilbo.

"Bilbo, my good fellow, it's up to you next~."

"Bilbo, be careful~!"

"Bilbo, come on, you must find the Akembo diamond~!"

Before Bilbo left, the dwarves blessed him. Thorin stepped forward, pressed his hands on Bilbo's shoulders, and solemnly promised: "Before today, we were just good friends, but from now on, we are brothers~!" Bilbo, I won't say much about thanks, be careful, we're here waiting for you to come back, be sure to take care~! ”

"Got it." Along the way, although a lot of things have happened, this is the first time Bilbo has played the leading role. Feeling the solemnity of the atmosphere, Bilbo couldn't help but become serious.

After tidying up his body again, he made sure that he had not left his equipment, and under the extremely expectant gaze of the dwarves, Bilbo turned around and walked into the depths of the secret passage with the secret props given to him by Chu Xiaobai.

In Bilbo's hand, there was a small piece of parchment. Above it was the road map that Balin had just drawn for him, clearly marking the layout of the short passage behind it - although it was not far from the sleeping hall of Smaug, Bilbo had come to the kingdom of Irubor for the first time, and what if there was a chance on the way that he accidentally took a fork in the road?

In addition to the final passage, a brief map shows the route from the lobby to the main entrance. According to the plan, if Bilbo didn't succeed smoothly and accidentally alarmed Smaug, then he would flee directly in the direction of the main gate and guide Smaug into the trap laid by Chu Xiaobai and the others.

There are two reasons why you don't go back the way you came. For one, the dwarves are not capable of dealing with Smaug, and luring them here will only make the situation worse. Second, if Smaug was led to the main entrance, the dwarves would be able to take the opportunity to emerge from the secret passage and conduct a second search while Smaug was away.

While checking the plan of action in my mind, I continued to follow the route on the abbreviated map. The nearly 200-meter tunnel was quickly completed, and before he knew it, Bilbo had come to a small secret door.

There is a small hole in the secret door, and if you lie on the door, you can see through the small hole in the hall.

Since there were no dwarves living in Irubor and Smaug was sleeping, there was no need for any lighting, so there were only a few natural lights refracted in the hall, and there were no torches or fires as expected.

The lighting was bad, and Bilbo could only faintly see the outline, but could not see the situation in the hall.

But even so, he couldn't help but gasp - Smaug's size had reached more than 100 meters, and even if he was just lying there, it would bring a huge sense of oppression to Bilbo, who was just over a meter tall.

As he breathes, Smaug always has some smoke coming out of his nose. The snoring, which was not too loud, was amplified several times because of the emptiness of the hall, and it became more and more terrifying.

Although he was already familiar with the fireball, and had some knowledge of the fire dragon, and although he had gained a lot of knowledge during this trip, and encountered many things that he had never encountered before, Bilbo was still a little stunned by Smaug's might.

"Bilbo, calm, calm, you can~." Luckily, Bilbo has adventurer blood in his bones. After a while, he finally got out of the fright. In order to restore his composure, Bilbo secretly cheered himself up.

After spending some time and being mentally prepared, Bilbo secretly pushed the mechanism and quietly opened the secret door in front of him.

Perhaps due to its disrepair, there was a slight noise when the secret door was opened.

It stands to reason that this little noise should be completely drowned out by Smaug's snoring.

However, Smaug reacted—its front paws were raised, and it grazed its nose a few times, and its wings were repositioned in a different position, bringing a gust of wind.

Bilbo was so small that even if Smaug just subconsciously flipped his hand, it would be a big move for him.

The key is still not mentally prepared.

Because of Smaug's movements, Bilbo was frightened enough, and the whole person was as stiff as a stone statue, and he didn't dare to move for a long time.

Waiting in fear, and even ready to escape, after a long while, after confirming that Smaug had not been awakened and that he was safe for the time being, Bilbo breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

'Damn, I knew it was so horrible, why should I say yes?' I must have been dizzy. ’

'Think of something else, Bilbo, don't be afraid. Well, just think about what to eat at night, the braised pork seems to be pretty good. ’

......, I hope this guy doesn't wake up, or I'll be braised pork." No, no, Bilbo, cheer up and think of something good. ’

'Okay, okay, Arkenberg, Akembo ....... ’

In order to reduce the fear in his heart, Bilbo had to use a way to divert his attention. After settling his mind with great difficulty, he finally stepped out of the dark passage and quietly walked behind Smaug.

The hall was littered with treasures, and even Smaug's body was pressed under a lot. Bilbo alone is looking for a needle in a haystack to find the only goal out of so many things.

However, since it has come to this point, there is no reason to give up.

Thinking so, Bilbo first set his eyes behind Smaug - after all, it was a dead end in his vision, and even if he woke him up, he would have a little more time to deal with it.

Carefully dodging the various objects on the ground, Bilbo was afraid of making a noise when he touched something. Lightly, relying on the cushions on the soles of his feet, it took him a few minutes before Bilbo finally quietly turned behind Smaug.

Before coming, the dwarves had described the appearance of the Arken Treasure to Bilbo, and even drew a pattern for him. Although it was only the most basic information, it had already saved Bilbo a lot of trouble, at the very least, he didn't have to take out everything and guess right or wrong based on his own feelings.

After searching hard, about half an hour later, Bilbo finally found a large gem at the top of a treasure pile. Comparing the dwarves' descriptions and comparing the patterns, Bilbo felt that it was probably the object he was looking for.

However, even if he made a discovery, Bilbo did not dare to act immediately - the gem was placed on top of a pile of things, and in order to get it, he had to climb to the top of the pile of treasure. Obviously, the small mountain bags formed by these metal objects are not so strong, and in the process of climbing, something must roll down from it, and then make a series of collision sounds.

No one knew if Smaug would be awakened by those voices. If not, that's great, but if you're unlucky and really wake it up, it's not fun.

Imagining the dangerous situation after Smaug was awakened, Bilbo couldn't help but hesitate, but looking at the big gem that was close at hand, he was not willing to retreat.

'Damn, I must be crazy~! After struggling for a while, Bilbo finally made a decision. Because of this decision, he couldn't help but curse himself.

Gritting his teeth, he pulled up his trouser legs, which was to be more flexible when escaping. He took out the potion given by Chu Xiaobai in his hand, this was to avoid any accidents. Having made all the preparations, Bilbo cautiously came to the treasure pile and began to climb up lightly.

Perhaps it was because the pile had been crushed by Smaug's weight, or perhaps because Bilbo was so light, but Bilbo was surprised to find that the pile was still quite strong, not as loose as he had imagined.

Until he climbed to the top, Bilbo didn't touch a single thing. Even the occasional noise was too slight to wake Smaug up.

Gently picking up the gem at the top of the treasure pile, taking out the dwarves' drawings, and comparing them carefully for a while, Bilbo suddenly noticed a problem - he couldn't confirm whether it was right or not.

No way, the dwarves didn't use enough professional drawing tools when they drew the patterns, and the drawings were not 3D views, which would have been a little different from the real thing.

What's more, the light in the hall is so poor.

That's what it's like. After a lot of effort and a huge risk, I only got an unknown result. Such a situation made Bilbo a little depressed.

Because of this depression that surged up his head, and perhaps because of 'he didn't show anything abnormal for an hour, and accidentally relaxed his vigilance', Bilbo's brain was hot, and he unconsciously stomped his foot.

"Click~~! Ding~Ding~~! Several pieces of metal rolled off the top of the treasure pile with a crisp sound.

The snoring that had been echoing in the hall suddenly stopped, and when I looked again, Smaug's tail seemed to move slightly.

"Damn it~~~!" Bilbo's cold sweat came down.
