Chapter 144: Karranas Mountain

After a hearty lunch, the expedition left the Demon Hunter Fortress and officially set out on its journey. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Several members of the Demon Hunter Knights took off their heavy armor and replaced it with light leather armor. The golden bolt was also broken by the long-handled battle axe, and was replaced with a one-handed axe and shield.

Only Edward still wears the same armor as King Elrond, carrying a star and a bow and arrows on his back.

Due to their secret travel, they could not ride horses or take large roads, so they had to walk south along the trail at the foot of the Misty Mountains. Edward and Gandalf were at the front, as the pioneers, with Golden Bolt and Legolas at the end of the line, removing some obvious traces by the way, while Aragorn, Boromo, and the four hobbits walked in the middle of the line.

Sorey, the only mount in the group, carried a lot of salutes, but still looked very relaxed.

"We must be wary of Sauron's many eyes and ears," Gandalf said during a break a few days later, "I believe he has learned the approximate location of the Ring, and the blow that the Golden Bolt gave to the Ring will surely bring some news to Sauron." Soon, the land will be filled with spies on foot and flying, and even the birds in the sky will have to be careful. ā€

The crowd nodded, and began to eat game in a muffled voice.

"What an obedient ...... Monsters?" Frodo stroked Sorey's scales and skin, the journey in the past few days, the people in the team have felt the most secure, not the legendary dragon slayer Edward, nor the demon hunter members, nor the gray-robed wizard Gandalf, but Sorey, the hard-working pangolin who helped them carry the salute.

Speaking of Sorey, Gandalf and Aragon were also very interested. When Aragorn was young, he traveled almost half of Middle-earth as a ranger, but he had never seen such a monster.

"This ...... Where did you get the monsters? Aragorn asked.

"Edward's hometown. Legolas glanced at Edward and replied.

"This is Sorey, a mountain piercing dragon. Edward, in order not to let people ask all kinds of questions about his "hometown", took the initiative to say, "They can run on the mountains as if they were walking on the ground." It can also dig caves for us with its strong front paws and long tail, making it a great companion for long trips. ā€

"What an amazing creature. Boromo hadn't seen any of these creatures either, but he was now worried about the situation at Gondor and didn't have much interest in learning about it. Perhaps his brother Faramir would be able to ease the situation there by taking five hundred paladins to Gondor?

He stood on the top of the rocky mountain, looking out at the blurred mountains in the distance, and the worry on his face deepened.

"Now, there's a snowy mountain blocking our way, do we need to climb over it, or do we have to go down the hill and continue at the base of the mountain?" said Pippin, the mischievous of the hobbits, standing beside Borromo and turning his head to look at Edward the Pioneer.

"I don't know much about this area either, there are many maps in King Elron's dwellings, but we set off in a hurry, and we didn't have time to understand the route this time. Edward shrugged his shoulders and said.

"We don't need a map. Jin Li suddenly said loudly.

"This is where our ancestors shed blood and sweat, and we carved the shapes of these mountains into many rock and metal crafts, and also woven them into many songs and stories. They are three unattainable peaks in our dreams: Baras, Sirac, and Shasser. "And below them are Caesardom, the home of the dwarves, and in Elven language, Moria." ā€

"My cousin Barin is there, he is the king of Moria, and I am sure that our presence will delight him. ā€

"No, we can only go to the Moriath Mine when we have no other choice. Gandalf objected.

"Why?" asked Kim, surprised that Gandalf would object.

"My dwarven brother, you know I'm a wizard, and I have some prophetic abilities. Gandalf looked at the three peaks and said, "The Moriath Mine doesn't feel good to me, I feel terrified. ā€

"Then we'll have to go there even more!" said Kim, "I haven't heard from Bahrain for a long time, and I must go there to see how he's doing." ā€

"Don't argue, something is approaching us!" At this time, Legolas suddenly interrupted the two arguing, staring at a "dark cloud" in the distance and said, "There is a group of Denland crows approaching us!"

"Denland Raven, that's not a creature found in this place!" Gandalf shouted, "Hide and put out the campfire!"

As he shouted, the crowd hurriedly did as he was told.

After the crows flew by, Gandalf sighed and said, "It seems that someone has still spotted our traces, and those must be Saruman's eyeliners." ā€

"It seems that we can no longer take the road at the foot of the mountain. "Well, then, let's go see Bahrain, I haven't seen him for a long time." ā€

Gandalf sighed and could only acquiesce.

............

A few days later, the group climbed Mount Carranras, a towering snow-capped mountain covered with howling winds and snow. The strong wind of the blizzard and the howling wind carried large snowflakes and hurt to the touch. Even Edward and the others found it difficult to move, and the hobbit followed behind the tall team members in a position that was about to reach the ground. Everyone could also see that if the wind and snow continued, they might not last long.

The crowd stopped in the middle of the night, just on the side of the snow-capped mountain, with the frozen rocks on one side and the bottomless abyss on the other. The snow under your feet is also very relaxed, and if you are not careful, you will slide down and fall into the abyss, and your bones will not remain.

The others felt like they could hold on a little longer, but the four hobbits were almost buried alive by Snow.

"What now, Edward?" Gandalf asked, dusting off his shoulders and panting.

Edward still didn't blush, didn't breathe, and looked indifferent, which made others feel admired.

"Leave it to Legolas, I'm sure he has a solution. Edward looked at the elven prince and then at Sorey.

Legolas understood, and immediately ordered Soray to start digging a cave where they could rest.

Sorey has no fur on its body, only scales, and it is extremely uncomfortable with the cold weather, showing a depressed expression several times. Now, he could finally show his abilities, and immediately made Legolas drop his salute and swing his front paws to dig holes in the rock face at breakneck speed.

"Wake up, Karranas!

Just as everyone's eyes widened in amazement as Sorey's front paws easily smashed through the ice and scratched through the rocks, a loud sound rang out in the mountains. The terrible sound shook the hearts of the people with the howling cold wind, and at the same time made the rocks and snowdrifts on the mountainside stagger.

"It's Saruman's voice! He found us!" Gandalf said a little alarmed, "he wanted to create an avalanche and bury us alive!"

"Come to me!" Edward shouted calmly as he glanced overhead.

When everyone gathered around him, he pulled out the star flare and raised it above his head, and a circular barrier of holy light visible to the naked eye protected everyone.

Then, the avalanche came as expected, and soon covered them under the snowdrift.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen a snowdrift. The crowd shuddered, but when they found out that they were well protected by the Light Barrier, Pippin, the most mischievous of the hobbits, made a joke.

"When will I be able to have such a powerful light? Jin Li looked at the top of his head enviously.

"Yes, Jin Li, you just need to feel it with your heart and always perfect your heart of faith. Edward laughed, and reached out his left hand to make a magic blast at the snowdrift, which immediately knocked a hole in the snowdrift, where Soray had dug a large hole large enough for them to rest in.
