All the goblins of the underground kingdom gathered on a high platform in the center, around a huge goblin, singing a mournful song in unison. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Edward looked at these goblins from afar, who were similar to the orcs, and thought for a moment.

These goblins are also a type of orcs, but they are relatively short, good at climbing, adapted to a dark life, and cannot come out during the day. They have lived in the underworld for a long time, and will not actively go to the human world unless there are special circumstances, and they are the natives of Middle-earth.

As can be seen from the mess at the scene, Thorin and his party must have made a big fuss and seemed to have killed the king of the goblins, the tall goblin.

"Sorry to disturb your funeral, I wanted to ask for directions. ”

Edward's master was bold, so he walked straight forward and interjected.

The sad song came to an abrupt end, and all the goblins turned their heads in unison, staring at the well-groomed human in amazement.

"If a man dies and cannot be raised, mourn and be obedient. I want to ask, have you ever seen a group of dwarves?"

"Dwarves! This human is an accomplice of the dwarves!" At the hearing of the word dwarf, all the goblins roared angrily and rushed towards Edward in a fit of rage.

Edward sighed, and didn't use Starlight, picking up a huge wooden stick on the spot.

In such a narrow place, even if there are more goblins coming, it will be a food delivery for Edward.

Seeing that Edward easily picked up the five-meter-long wooden stick, the goblins who rushed up shook it in unison, and then ...... Continue to rush over.

Edward's expression was relaxed with his armpit holding the stick, and after a few sweeps, a large number of goblins were swept into the abyss under the wooden frame. Goblins also climbed up from the side and attempted to attack Edward's side, only to be kicked by Edward.

After only a few moments, there were only a few goblins left who could stand at the funeral site, and many more goblins stood on the wooden frame in the distance, looking in horror at this human with great power and ...... A white horse with a contemptuous gaze.

After experiencing the fierce battles of the orcs and the terrifying mountain paths, this white horse has become very bold. It firmly believes that as long as it follows its master, it will be very safe. At the same time, it also dismisses the combat power of these dwarf goblins, and even the heavily armed orcs are no match for their master, just rely on you goblins?

"Alright, now tell me where the dwarves are, I'm not here to fight you, I have limited time and don't want to talk nonsense with you. ”

Edward took out the cloth-wrapped star shine and thrust it into the ground with a thud, and said lightly.

Goblins are not orcs, they do not have the strength and undaunting spirit of orcs, and most of them will succumb or flee in the face of strong people.

Seeing the huge and heavy heavy sword, the goblins gave in, and they led Edward and the white horse through the wooden frame that went around and around, and finally came to the exit of the underworld shortly after.

Edward also ignored the goblins, and looked around for a moment, and with a heavy heart, he discovered a fact.

A half-orc cavalry made their way through the Misty Mountains and came here, where they engaged Thorin and his party.

Edward led the white horse and followed these trails to a cliff.

There were carcasses of orcs and wolves everywhere, several large trees had fallen to the ground, and there was a burnt smell of extinguished flames and the aroma of roasted pine nuts.

Thankfully, there were no dwarves or hobbits among them, suggesting that Thorin and his party had either escaped or been captured alive by the orcs.

From the footprints, Edward also found the footprints of a tall human, which must have been Gandalf's.

With Gandalf present, Edward was confident that Thorin and his party would escape.

On the edge of the cliff, Edward also found several large feathers, he had heard that Gandalf had a good relationship with the King of the Giant Eagle, and that it was believed that the Eagle had saved Thorin and his party and carried them down the Misty Mountains.

After making a judgment, Edward no longer hesitated, and led the white horse to begin looking for a way down the mountain.

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

Early in the morning, Edward finally stepped out of the Misty Mountains, and was greeted by green fields and vast plains.

Edward came to a clear river and rested - even the strongest man would be tired after a fierce battle with more than fifty orcs, a steep and steep mountain path, a whole night of walking through the underground kingdom of goblins.

He cleaned the blood from his armor, took off his equipment, washed it briefly in the creek, ate a little dry food, and lay down on the warm grass for a while in the sun before packing up and continuing on the road.

As a grove of trees looms over the horizon, Edward sees a farmstead.

Baby-sized fist-sized bees flutter everywhere, black and white horses gallop across the grassland, and thick-haired black cows quietly nibble on the grass.

"Discover the Skinners of this world and earn 10 achievement points. ”

"The Skin-Bearer?" Edward was surprised by the strange name, and then he met the Skin-Locker that Richard had spoken of.

It was a very tall and strong man, with a black beard on his face, his hair so thick that it even reached his spine behind his back, and he was bare-chested, wielding an axe and chopping wood in front of the big house of the farmstead.

"Hello, have you ever seen a group of dwarves?"

Edward stepped forward and greeted politely.

The man gave Edward a nonchalant glance and lowered his axe.

"A human is wearing elven equipment, and seeing that your bow and arrows are also made by elves, are you a woodland elf in the dark forest?"

"No, it's not like the craft of those elves. Human, tell me where you came from. ”

"I am Edward Lee, a demon hunter hired by Thorin Oak Shield, and I am following in their footsteps. This gear of mine comes from the elves of Ruiwei Dell. Edward replied.

"You're the demon hunter the dwarves said they were?" the man, apparently hearing Thorin talk about Edward, snapped up, "to be able to get the elves of Rivendell to gift you equipment shows that you're a human of noble character." ”

"My name is Bion, and I'm a Skinman, the only Skinman who has survived the clutches of an orc. ”

"Nice to meet you, Bion. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but can you tell the dwarves about them now? Edward said a little anxiously, "I've spotted orcs nearby, and they must have been chasing the dwarves here." ”

"Yes, the dwarves have entered the dark forest, and I can take you to the entrance of the forest. Bion was very crisp, put down his axe and began to lead the way.

"In return, I can break the shackles on your wrists. Edward said, following behind.

"No, I'm not going to break it. This is a testimony to the shame of our Skin-Worn people, and a constant reminder of my motivation against the Orcs. ”

"Keep up with me. After saying this, Bion's skin began to squirm, and his black hair began to grow, and in the blink of an eye, the tall man turned into a fierce bear!

"Wow, this is the Skinman!" Edward looked at Bion in surprise, and then followed the bear.

After some journey, Bion and Edward reached the entrance to the Dark Forest.

This is a very dense forest, and the strangely shaped trees almost block out the sunlight, and looking into the forest from the entrance, there seems to be a strange aura permeating it, making people afraid to enter.

"I can only send it here. The Dark Jungle is the territory of the woodland elves, who are not as talkative and xenophobic as the elves of Rivendell, and you need to be aware if you encounter them. ”

"When walking in the dark forest, remember one thing - you must follow the road and never take a fork in the road, or you will quickly get lost in the woods. ”

"There is a small river in the middle of the forest, don't let any part of your body touch the river!"

"Good luck at the end. ”

Bion turned back into a human body, reminded him of some precautions, and quickly left.

"Thanks for the reminder, Bion. ”

Edward smiled goodbye to Bion, and led the white horse into the eerie forest.
