Taking a sip of the spring water in his backpack, Hu Bin shivered as he felt the biting mountain wind, and at his feet was Mount Carranras, which was covered with snow all year round and inaccessible, and it was really not a suitable place for traveling.

The team's trip was discovered, and after the crow flock attack, everyone knew this fact, and it was a demoralization blow to the first thing they had encountered, but they all knew that the purpose of the trip was very important.

"I don't understand, why did Gandalf insist on going this route?" Jin Li was muttering quietly all the way.

"I don't know, but the mages have a strong hunch that Gandalf must have his own plans, and he won't stick to one thing for no reason." The elven prince Legolas looked behind him at the dwarves who were struggling to move, as well as at a few hobbits.

"What do you know, you long-eared cousin, Moria's cousin of Bahrain must have welcomed us, and then the ale and hot food will appear, and you will feel the dwarven hospitality there, but now, it is freezing here that my fingers are numb."

Hu Bin was a little unbearable, in order to hurry, he did not wear his own armor, only wore a single coat, under the cold wind as if he did not wear it. He had been keeping the fire elemental in his body flowing to resist the cold, but doing so would slowly drain his energy points, and at this moment, he even hoped that Saruman's attack would come sooner.

"Frodo!" Sam exclaimed. Frodo had just slipped on his feet, fell on the snow, and slid down the hillside.

"Caught you." Hu Bin jumped to Frodo's side and grabbed him, pulling the hobbit up hard.

Then Hu Bin looked at his neck, and to some surprise, the chain on the ring was still around his neck and did not fall to the ground like in the plot, and Boromir was not further tempted.

The plot began to deviate, and Hu Bin could no longer predict whether there would be greater changes in the future, which made many of his plans have to be reconsidered.

"Oh, spare me." Jin Thunderbolt groaned, and most of his body was sunk in the snow.

Gandalf struggled to dig a path with his staff for others behind him to pass through, and it was hard to believe that the old man contained such physical strength in his body.

The others had made the same difficult journey, and they had reached the summit of the Karanas Snowy Mountains, and they could climb over the Misty Mountains by crossing the cliff-clinging road.

Hu Bin and Legolas scout their surroundings one after the other, and the elven talent allowed them to walk lightly on the snow without worrying about sinking.

The bitter mountain wind was particularly strong here, and everyone had to bow their heads. A whisper grew clear in the whistling wind, and Legolas heard it faintly and immediately halted the crowd.

"There was a terrible sound in the wind." Legolas said.

Gandalf listened for a moment, then shouted to the crowd, "It's Saruman's curse!" ”

A thunderbolt struck the top of the snow-capped mountain, and several detached boulders slid down, but they all fell over the mountain road where everyone was.

"We have to go back." I don't know who shouted.

"No, we're going to get through here quickly." Gandalf turned his head away, spread his hands, and began to undo the spell in the direction of Saruman's voice.

Hu Bin didn't expect Gandalf to be able to resist Saruman, and as the sky became thicker and thicker, he silently put on his hood, and an avalanche might hit in a moment.

Sure enough, the white-robed Saruman, who had the amplification of the Mage Tower, was no match for the gray-robed Gandalf, and a bolt of lightning that was thicker than just now flashed from the clouds, and the rocks on the top of the mountain were shattered.

The crumbling rubble slid down with the snow and struck the people on the mountain road.

"It's miserable!" Unexpectedly, so many stones fell together, Hu Bin hurriedly flashed to the side, close to the cliff, trying to avoid the falling stones.

With a neigh, the horse carrying supplies was hit by a stone and fell down the hill, almost falling with the nearby hobbits.

Then the snow covered the mountain road, and everyone was buried in the thick snow.

"Poof!" Hu Bin peeked his head out from under the snowdrift, spit out a few mouthfuls, and began to struggle to break away, while Legolas and Gandalf, who were not far away, also showed their heads.

Hu Bin ran to the place where Aragorn had been and dug up, and then saw Borromir holding his shield and stabbing the snow above, revealing the four hobbits and Aragorn, who was also supporting him with his shield.

"Golden Bolt!" Hu Bin found that the dwarf was gone.

Gandalf was dragged out by Legolas, then stabbed the snow behind him with his staff and began to dig, Hu Bin and Legolas joined in the digging, and then Hu Bin was kicked by a short leg that suddenly appeared.

Planted headfirst down in the snow, he felt something touch his feet, and then began to move his legs desperately upside down, until Hu Bin and Legolas grabbed the moving ankles and pulled him out like a turnip.

"We should go to the pass of Rohan, from where we can reach the city of the West Valley." Boromir shouted.

"No, it's too close to Isengard, Saruman has his eye on us, we can't take the risk." Gandalf spoke out against it.

"I said a long time ago to go to the Moriath Mine, since you can't go above, it's okay to go down." Jin Li said breathlessly.

"Since we can't agree on opinions, let's listen to Frodo's opinion and let him decide."

All eyes were on the frightened Hobbit, who was at a loss.

……

"I've finally gotten rid of that chilly feeling." Hu Bin checked his bags.

The team retreated from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, depriving the horses' tools, dry food, and water, and although Hu Bin had plenty of lambas in his backpack, they did not carry much water of their own.

"The water is only enough for 5 days, so if you save a little, you can drag it to Luo Ruian." Aragorn looked at the water and came to a conclusion.

"Don't worry, we'll be well supplied in Moria." Kim was excited, he hadn't seen his cousin Balin in years.

"Don't be careless, let's move on." Gandalf continued to open the way.

Along the winding mountain road, everyone arrived in front of a huge and spectacular cliff, Hu Bin looked up, the cliff stretched into the mist, I don't know how high it is, everyone standing below can't help but feel a sense of insignificance.

"The walls of the Moriath Mine." Jin Li muttered.

"We need to find the entrance first." Looking at the lake beneath the cliffs, Gandalf said as he searched around for a way around the lake, his brow furrowed.

"Let's not be busy looking for the entrance yet, maybe we're in trouble." Hu Bin drew an arrow and put it on his bow, and in his perception, the water monster lurking in the lake was watching everyone.

The sound of swords unsheathed sounded one after another, and everyone lined up to protect the hobbits in the middle.

"Do you feel wrong, little hairy, it's nothing." Everyone waited for a while, but nothing happened, Jin Li snorted dissatisfiedly, and even Legolas glanced at Hu Bin with his peripheral vision, only Gandalf was still on guard.

Hu Bin didn't speak, he slowly put the arrow in his hand back into the pot, and then condensed the fire element in his right hand, and after a while, a blazing fireball appeared on his palm.

Hu Bin turned the fireball upside down, sensed the direction of the danger, and then threw it out without hesitation. The fireball exploded in the middle of the lake, causing quite a splash, but nothing seemed to happen.

"Nice fireworks, so what does it mean? We don't have time to waste here because of your surprise," Jin Li said in surprise and walked over the lake with a big grin. "Look, it's safe here."

"Kim, be careful." Aragorn shouted.

"What?" Jin Li turned around and saw a huge shot lunging towards him.

After a "snap", the tentacles slammed into the ground, but there was no sense of hitting the target.

Worthy of being the elite who dared to participate in the Ring Guard, Jin Li reacted extremely quickly and dodged when the tentacles were about to be withdrawn.

"You have to pay the price for the sneak attack on Uncle Ben." With a single axe, the golden bolt severed the stout tentacles.

"Hahaha, see how good I am." Jin Li slammed the axe on the severed tentacle and looked at the crowd, only to find that the others were not looking at him, but looking behind him with strange eyes.

"Huh!" Jin Li, whose brain finally began to turn, wanted to turn back, but he didn't dare, so he could only run backwards in the end. Unfortunately, his rash actions broke the confrontation, and with the dwarf's terrified howl, a tentacle rolled up the dwarf's body and lifted it into the air.

A huge water monster hovered in the middle of the lake, its many tentacles waving and stirring the water, and a huge, ugly face came to the surface, and a strange hissing sound came from its mouth with sharp teeth.

"Support me." Aragorn stepped forward and was the first to charge at the water monster.

Hu Bin sighed, if it weren't for Jin Li, a comic teammate, relying on the formation of the team and the water monster to open up a distance to fight a positional battle, his own side may not have a chance to kill this monster, in terms of space conventions, the reward must be indispensable, so Hu Bin wanted to alarm this water monster in advance and kill it with the help of other team members. Unexpectedly, this water monster didn't move as if it hadn't woken up, and it didn't react until Jin Li approached.

The plan couldn't catch up with the change, and seeing Aragorn's sword fall into the range of the tentacle attack, Hu Bin had to recondense the fire element. Long-range support Legolas is better than himself, and it is difficult to concentrate the moving tentacles with his own archery, so it is better to give the water monster a beat.

An arrow struck the tentacle that imprisoned the golden thunderbolt, and the falling golden thunderbolt was then caught by another tentacle and quickly sent to the monster's terrifying mouthparts.

Aragorn was also surrounded by tentacles and was in danger, but Boromir behind him arrived in time, and the two severed multiple tentacles, making it difficult for the Monsters to help them for a while.

However, Legolas had just shot, Gandalf was still guarding the four hobbits in the distance, and Hu Bin's own chanting was not over, and the golden bolt was about to be sent to the monster's mouth.

"I'm not that good." At the critical moment, Jin Li threw out his helmet and hit the monster's bare eyes, and then the monster screamed loudly and slowed down his movements.

The elven prince's second arrow then arrived, freeing the dwarf from hanging in midair, but the timing was a little worse when the falling dwarf just crossed an arc and fell into the mouth of the monster's scream.

There was a brief pause between the two sides of the "......" at that moment, and only Hu Bin was left muttering and chanting. Then the team members began to attack the water monster frantically, and the water monster also seemed to be crazy, violently attacking the stragglers in front of them.

Several obviously thicker tentacles were stretched out of the water by the water monster, and then wrapped around the rocks of the lake and pulled hard, and the huge body of the water monster was completely displayed in front of everyone, and it quickly broke away from the water, and finally stepped onto the shore of the lake, chasing after the members of the group that attacked it.

Enraged, the monster opened its mouth wide and spat out the slime-covered dwarf in one gulp, then waved its tentacles to grab the dwarf again, apparently to chew the indigestion iron potato again.

Hu Bin's chanting was finally completed, and the size of the fireball in his hand could no longer be regarded as achievable by the fireball technique, which was a magic skill he had learned during this time in the elven clan, using the method of consuming double energy and prolonging spell casting, greatly increasing the power of magic.

If the water monster was still in the lake, Hu Bin could only hurt the water monster, but when he went ashore, he opened his mouth wide, which was simply seducing Hu Bin.

The water monster was almost hit in the eye by Legolas, and simply closed his eyelids, which gave Hu Bin a chance.

"Eat my big fireball." The fireball in Hu Bin's hand flew into the water monster's mouth at a faster speed than the fireball technique.

After a shockwave that was not strong, the painful hiss of the water monster resounded throughout the area, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to get a burn in their mouth.

"Hey, the power is still too weak." The damage caused by the Primary Magic Fireball Technique was too weak for such a large creature to be met with a charge bonus, but Hu Bin was sure that it would definitely hit the water monster hard.

Aragorn and Boromir have also used their true skills, as the many tentacles that were still dancing around them have been severed, and Legolas's arrows threaten the monster's weakness.

Before he could vent his anger, he was beaten by Fat, and the water monster that had been invincible was finally afraid, and he dragged his huge body to move quickly, trying to retreat back into the lake. Although Hu Bin still wanted to kill this monster to get a harvest, it was a pity that although everyone could suppress the water monster, they were powerless to stop it from retreating into the lake.

"Die." The golden thunderbolt, which was ignored by everyone, suddenly appeared behind the water monster, and an axe slashed at the thick tentacles that the water monster relied on to move, and the tentacles that did not react even when the elven bow and arrow were shot were actually split in half by the angry golden thunderbolt with an axe, and the tentacles could no longer withstand the huge pull exerted by the water monster, and were directly broken by themselves.

Although the water monster was in great pain, it still slowly retreated into the water, but Jin Li's delay gave Hu Bin a chance. Hu Bin quickly approached the water monster and swept past Aragorn and Boromir, who were resisting the tentacles head-on, and in the surprised gaze of the two of them, he grabbed a tentacle in his left hand and a firework given to him by Gandalf in his right hand, and lit it with the hand of flame. With the inertia of the tentacles rising into the air, Hu Bin, who let go of his hand, came into the air and threw the fireworks.

The water monster saw that this guy who had just hit himself dared to approach him, and quickly mobilized his tentacles to attack. The arm guard was drawn by a tentacle, but he also grabbed the tentacle at the same time, and Legolas seemed to understand Hu Bin's plan, and used precise archery to eliminate the other tentacles that threatened Hu Bin.

The moment the fireworks exploded, a huge explosion sounded, and the water monster also had a brief pause at that moment. Hu Bin took this opportunity to swing up and jump hard, his body glided in the air as if it had no weight, passed through the layers of tentacles, and finally landed firmly on the head of the water monster, and the mark on the back of his hand quickly turned into a gorgeous sword, and then Hu Bin quickly inserted it into the head of the water monster, and the sharp sword body was all submerged in it.

"Sword rays, sword winds, holy light rulings, holy sword impacts." Hu Bin burst out with all his offensive energy skills related to swordsmanship. Because of the water monster's obscurity, everyone could not see the light that erupted on the Plisis Holy Sword, but they could still judge how terrifying the blow was from the huge energy fluctuations of that moment.

The monster's movements stopped, and then its huge body began to go limp, and streams of yellowish-white goo continued to flow out of its mouth, and many tentacles also landed on the shore after a convulsion.

Hu Bin cleanly pulled out the holy sword, shook off the stains that did not exist, and then withdrew the holy sword to the back of his hand, jumped down at the moment when the water monster was paralyzed, and stood in front of everyone, while the body of the water monster behind him collapsed like a mud swamp, lying on his stomach in the shallow water.

"Who's going to help me?" The sound of the golden bolt came from not far away, he was crushed by the limp water monster next to the corpse of the water monster, and he was struggling to splash in the shallow water, slashing at the monster corpse in vain with the axe in his hand.

Jin Li's cry for help interrupted everyone's shock, and they hurriedly stopped the rescue, and it took a lot of effort to rescue the dwarf. After controlling the water in his ears, Jin Li looked back at the limp water monster and raised his tomahawk in a pose.

"Haha, you've tasted my awesomeness."

Everyone was amused by Jin Li's hilarious actions, while Hu Bin thought that the water in his head had not been cleared.

After killing the water monster, the group of people who confirmed that there was no danger in the vicinity began to take a short rest. Although everyone won this battle, it was not without damage. Aragorn and Boromir were at the front, and they were attacked by tentacles, which was severely drained in terms of energy and physical strength, while Legolas's arms also needed some time to rest because of the continuous rapid shooting. Hu Bin was hit by a tentacle in the process of jumping, his chest was slightly uncomfortable, and he released many skills, and his energy value was consumed a lot.

But this could not hide the fact that they had defeated the water monster, and seeing that everyone's morale had risen after being ambushed by Saruman, Hu Bin smiled, took out a bottle of moon well water, and began to rest with peace of mind.

Merry and Pippin cautiously approached the monster's corpse, and when they found that the monster was no longer a threat, they began to talk excitedly about the battle just now, and the more Jin Li listened, the more wrong he became, and found that there was no credit for his own merits, and finally they argued fiercely with the two.

At this point, Gandalf reached the other side of the lake, and he found the entrance to the Moriah Mine, but a door stood in his way, with a pattern doped with Ishirdine metal, which reflected in the moonlight. Looking at the sun that had just set in the distance, Gandalf pursed his lips and returned to the camp across the lake.
