Chapter 268: The Fellowship of the Ring: On the Way

The group hurried towards the south, day and night along the way, all in a hurry, and only when everyone was really tired would they stop and rest for a while.

It has been seven days since the first day of Rivendell, and on this morning, the wind began to slow down, and the originally gloomy sky began to become clearer, the blue sky and white clouds, and the pale but bright sun, also showed its head.

Looking south, one could see a number of vague mountains blocking the path of the crowd, and in the middle of these mountains were three particularly tall peaks, the highest and closest peaks, which looked like snow-stained fangs, and the bare part of the cliff was still mostly covered in shadow, but the rest of the mountain peaks were shimmering red with sunlight.

Stopping, Gandalf raised his hand, shielded himself from the sunlight and looked into the distance: "In the old days of peace, there were many elves living here, and this place was called Irijan at that time. ”

"But right now, it's just a deserted border area." Glorfindale took Gandalf's words and said.

"It has nothing to do with our goals, we need to go over them and get to the three peaks." Lin Yifeng said to everyone.

"This is where our ancestors shed their blood and sweat, and we carved the shapes of these mountains into many rock and metal artefacts, and we have woven them into many songs and stories, and they are three unattainable peaks in our dreams: Baras. Silak, Shather, only once in my life have I seen these three peaks from afar when I was awake, but I have long known their names and appearances, for below them are Kesadom, the home of the dwarves, now called the Black Pit, and also called: Moria, and the three peaks that stand are Barasimba. Red Horn and brutal Karahoslav. Behind them are the Silver Peak and the Cloud Peak, also known as the white-robed Serabdil, the gray-robed Fanu Deho, and the dwarven language of Siraksigil and Pandu Shasser, respectively. Dwarf Gimli looked at the three peaks in the distance. Excitedly introduced to everyone.

"When we spent it since. The Misty Mountains split into two paths. Between the arms of these two mountains lies a valley covered in shadows, the valley of the Athanubisa, the Dinrell River. The elves are called the southern capital of Sirian. Our goal is the valley of the Dinrell, and if we go from the Red Point Pass on the other side of Karahoras, we should be able to reach the Dinreil Ladder, and then into the dwarven valley, where there is a lake of mirrors, from which the river of silver light as we know it, originates from the icy mountain springs there. Gandalf told the crowd about the next route for himself and the others.

Listening to Gandalf's words, even Lin Yifeng, who had already known the route from King Elon's residence, couldn't help but subconsciously move his steps, it was too difficult, and unlike others, Lin Yifeng knew that everyone was probably going to face the terrifying fire demon next.

The demons that existed in ancient times, from the mouth of Groffindelle, Lin Yifeng already knew how powerful the power of the fire demons was.

There is no doubt about this because if you don't pass through there, Lin Yifeng's mission will fail, maybe if you can pass from another place, it will be a victory for the Fellowship of the Ring, but this kind of victory Lin Yifeng doesn't want to, because this is a terrible consequence for himself, and the punishment for failure is not something Lin Yifeng is willing to accept, as for Gandalf to be promoted to a white-robed wizard, Lin Yifeng can only say that he did his best.

It may be a little selfish, but it's unavoidable, because not everyone can sacrifice for others like Gandalf.

"It's not early now, and we've been on the road for so long, let's go a little further and rest for the night." Gandalf said to the crowd, pointing to the valley in the distance.

——————————————————————————————————————。

"Aragon, have you found anything? Do you like this icy cold wind!? At night, Lin Yifeng saw Yaragon leave everyone and came to the edge of the valley, looking at the east and the west, his ears turned sideways as if listening to something, Lin Yifeng couldn't help but ask strangely.

"No, it's not like that, I just feel like there's something missing, I've been here in many different seasons, and although there are no people here, there are many other animals frolicking here, especially birds, but, now, except for us, it's all quiet here, I can feel that something is wrong, there is no sound of everything, I have never felt this situation here, it worries me, it makes me afraid." Yaragon shook his head and said to Lin Yifeng.

"Susan, take a look and see if there's anything going on around." Hearing Aragorn's words, Lin Yifeng's face also showed a solemn color, and he said loudly to Susan, who was leaning against the fire and grilling sweet potatoes.

Hearing Lin Yifeng's words, Susan stood up, although she didn't know what Lin Yifeng had discovered, Susan still listened to Lin Yifeng's words, and began to mobilize her Force to carefully reconnoiter in all directions.

In the midst of everyone's gaze, about ten minutes or so, Susan slowly opened her eyes and said to Lin Yifeng, "No, I didn't find anything wrong. ”

"What the hell is going on? Any special findings? Gandalf and Groffindelle asked Lin Yifeng.

"Indeed, Aragon noticed something was wrong." Hearing the question between the two, Lin Yifeng nodded slightly, and then told Gandalf and Groffindale about the problem that Arragon had discovered.

Hearing Lin Yifeng's narration, Gandalf and Groffindelle also became solemn, just like what Aragorn said, there was indeed something wrong with Aragorn's experience. No one doubted.

"We do have to be more careful, if we're traveling with a ranger, we have to listen to him, and if the ranger happens to be called Aragorn, then it's even more certain, we'll have to set up sentinels, lower the volume, and then we can rest." Gandalf said to the crowd with some jokingness.

Hearing Gandalf's words, the crowd nodded, and Boromo himself stood up to them and said, "Let me keep the vigil." ”

In terms of strength, Boromo is the weakest one besides Frodo. So he also knew if he really fought. You may not be able to help much, but you can still do the vigil.

"No, Boromo, you better rest, as for the position of the sentry post. Leave it to me and Susan. "Hear Boromo's words. Lin Yifeng shook his head slightly. Refused, Borromo said.

The position of the sentry post is very important, not that Lin Yifeng thinks that Boromo will be careless, or not do his best. Rather, it is because of the weakness of Boromo.

As an existence like a sentry post, the weaker the strength, the better it is not to serve.

You must know that Lin Yifeng and Susan, if they are fully prepared, they can feel it when the enemy attacks 10,000 meters away, and inform everyone to immediately make countermeasures for the next action, but Boromo can't do it, at most when the enemy is approaching, he can only find out.

But in that case, what's the use?

Run away?

It's basically impossible, at most you can only rush to meet it.

Therefore, Lin Yifeng didn't want Boromo to be this sentry, at least in the face of the enemy's attack, Boromo would definitely not be able to find it at a long distance like Lin Yifeng and Susan.

Immediately worried that Boromo would have other ideas, Lin Yifeng said to Boromo with his own thoughts.

Hearing Lin Yifeng's words, Boromo also nodded helplessly, indicating that he knew the truth.

——————————————————————————————————————————。

It was the third day from leaving the valley towards the three peaks, and Lin Yifeng and Susan were taking turns to sentry posts for these three days, and sleeping was no longer much of an important thing for Lin Yifeng and Susan, just in the evening of this day.

The originally clear sky suddenly changed color, and a black dot appeared in the far south, and slowly became larger, and then like a black mist, it seemed like a dead silence from a distance.

"It's a crow!" Susan opened her mouth and said to the crowd.

"Be careful, Boromo protects Frodo." Looking at the crows approaching him and the others in the distance, Aragorn, Gandalf they drew their weapons and said loudly.

This is not a valley like before, there is not much space to hide here, this crow Aracan is Zhidao, they fly between the misty mountains and the gray flood, they are not native creatures, but from Denland, their target is themselves and others, there is no doubt about that.

"Oh my God, this is horrible." Looking at the crows that were already approaching in the sky, like a piece of black cloud, they made a sharp cry, and the black feathers fell from the air, their eyes were not black, but purple-red, which looked extremely weird and terrifying, Sam, who was relatively timid, couldn't help screaming loudly when he saw this scene, and covered his mouth.

"Two little ones, come in more, and be careful not to be taken away." Boromo picked up the horn on his waist, brought it to his mouth, and blew it hard, making an earth-shattering sound, it had been discovered, so blowing the horn was not something that would expose everyone.

Blowing the horn and listening to the earth-shattering sound, as if he had been doping, Boromo's spirits were particularly uplifted, and with a sword and shield in his hand, he stood in front of Frodo and Sam like a strong wall.

"Puff puff!" A series of wings flapped sounds, and countless black crows in the air, like sharp arrows, rushed towards Lin Yifeng and the others regardless of their own life and death.

This is not a demonic beast with powerful abilities, it is only a little stronger than the crows of the world realm where Lin Yifeng is located, at most, even if thousands of crows in the air all hit it, even if Lin Yifeng does not dodge or dodge, standing in place, they will not be able to hurt it. But under the impact of the crows that covered the sky and the sun, like a plague of locusts, the scene was extremely shocking.

With his wand and enemy fencing in hand, Gandalf whispered a spell as purple flames erupted from the tip of the weapon, like a fiery dragon, towards the endless black crows in the sky.

The huge wave of fire even burned out the surrounding air.

Legolas, with a longbow in his hand, drew his bow, and with the ancient Elven language, a green arrow appeared on the bowstring.

"Powerful Strike! This is the oldest elf of the elves, Aurelia. Windranger's fame stunt. "I saw Legolas's movements. Glorfindelle's eyes couldn't help but show a look of surprise. Aurelia. Windranger, a high elf of his time, has been passed down by the God of Wind, the true bow god of the elves.

Green energy arrows. Shoot off the strings. It's like a shooting star. Piercing the sky, the smoke dissipated everywhere it passed, and a piece of blood sprinkled from the sky. The dark and gloomy canopy, which was originally obscured by crows, also revealed a glimmer of light, but then it was filled by the endless crows.

"Don't use this kind of energy-consuming skill, just defend and don't let them hurt Frodo, it's just a temptation, don't need to panic too much." Seeing Legolas, who was a little sluggish after shooting this powerful arrow, Lin Yifeng reminded him.

At the same time, a dark flame appeared in his hand, and with a wave of the sky, the flames immediately burned the oncoming black crows.

When the sun had completely set in the western mountains, the crows in the sky, which seemed to be endless, let out a series of sharp cries as if they had received some order, and then circled over the heads of the people for a while, and flew away towards the south.

The ground was full of the blood dripping from the crows, as well as the feathers, and the corpses, and a fishy smell emanated from everyone's bodies.

In addition to Susan, who deliberately blocked with the Force, even Broffindelle, who originally seemed to be a nobleman, was covered with black and purple crow blood.

"This, this is horrible." Pulled up from the pit by Boromo, looking at the already dark sky and the mess, Frodo and Sam said in trembling voices.

"What's so terrible about this, it's just our simple killing of them, and if you can't overcome this, then simply give the Ring to Sauron, because our trip is bound to fail." Looking at Frodo's appearance, Lin Yifeng said to Frodo in a deep voice.

At the beginning, Lin Yifeng hoped that Frodo would really adapt, but now it seems that it is still very early.

"No, I know, I just hate this situation, I'll persevere, I believe I can do it, definitely!" Hearing Lin Yifeng's words, Frodo didn't show any other looks, but just said firmly.

Seeing Frodo's performance like this, Gandalf couldn't help but nod his head secretly, a satisfied look on his face.

"I think we're going to have to get out of here, it's not a nice place." Gimli said to everyone, although the smell and touch on his body were very uncomfortable, but he couldn't care so much.

"We need to change direction and go east, in the direction of the Karahosla mountains, and then we can go over the mountains." Gandalf said to the crowd.

Hearing Gandalf's words, everyone didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

The sky had completely darkened, and at some point, the silver moonlight shone on the slopes of Karahoslava in the distance, reflecting a dim light.

The group began to move forward under the guidance of Aragon.

"We've been targeted again, but this time we've not been attacked." Aragorn slashed a spotted tiger hidden in the shadows with a sword, gently wiped the blood from Anduriel, and said helplessly as he watched everyone.

The night was spent peacefully, but during the day, they were secretly targeted by various creatures, and this tiger was the sixth they had encountered.

The sky was a little overcast, and the sun seemed listless. The wind is blowing from the northeast, and due to the change in geographical location, it is entering the depths of winter.

Compared to the surveillance of Sauron's minions, the weather is a terrible factor for the current crowd.

Because the mountains in the north are covered with more snow than ever, even the part of the pass is blocked, and if there is a blizzard, not to mention crossing the mountains, it is even very difficult to pass through the pass, of course, this is for Frodo.

But I have to say that this distressing thing is the distress of Gandalf and Groffindelle, but for Lin Yifeng, it is a necessary opportunity to complete the task, otherwise, everyone will directly cross the mountain range, instead of passing through the dungeon Moria.

"Don't worry about these guys, they don't pose any threat to us, and after yesterday's crow attack, we have been targeted, not to mention that don't forget Sauron's Flame Eye, as long as he wants to know the Tao and pays a certain price, he will definitely be able to find us, because the existence of the Supreme Ring, even if there are Gandalf, King Elon and Grovendale's seals, but I think he must still be able to roughly feel its location, otherwise it would not be near this part of Rivendell, There would be such a huge crow scouting. Lin Yifeng said to Gandalf and Aragon. (To be continued......)
