Half a month later, the team actually passed through the Misty Mountains.

Thankfully, during this time, the team did not encounter any danger, the nearby Orcs had already fled, and it would take time for the Ringwraith to bring the news to Sauron.

At most, a few wild mountain trolls couldn't cause any trouble, and Sharin's giant hammer easily flattened them.

Further on, there is the gentle field below the mountain range, the Anduin River flows down from the gray mountains in the north, leading to Rohan and Gondor, which is also the most important river in human society, but this is not the route of Townsend and others, they need to cross the Anduin River, through the dark jungle, to reach the Lonely Mountain.

Townsend remembered that above the wilderness, there were still skinchangers living -

A magical human that can transform into a giant bear.

It's a pity that until Townsend crossed the wilderness and came to the dark jungle, there was no trace of the skin-changer, and perhaps only a wizard like Gandalf, who was familiar with every inch of Middle-earth, could find him.

Tang Sen didn't force it, the skin-changer was indeed a powerful man, but as long as he arrived at the Lonely Mountain, he would not lack combat power.

"This jungle looks a little—" Shalin tilted his head and looked at the strangely shaped branches, "sick! ”

Even standing on the outskirts of the jungle, the eyes of the crowd could not see through the scene within two or three trees, and there was an eerie mist that seemed to envelop the jungle, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Where elves live." Thorin scoffed, "You hardly expect this to be a good place. ”

"This used to be called the Great Green Forest." "It was a lush and beautiful jungle until a thousand years ago, when a necromancer established the Fortress of Dogul on the south side, and it began to be shrouded in darkness, so it was renamed the Dark Forest, which is what we call the Great Jungle. ”

"The necromancer." Townsend emphasized, "That is, Sauron. ”

"I've been neighbors with Sauron for a thousand years, but these elves don't know anything about it, and even hide in the northernmost part of the jungle." "You can't expect them to do anything, I'm afraid they'll run away in fear when they see Oak." ”

Ignoring Thorrin's words, Townsend led the group along the edge of the jungle for a while, and finally saw some traces of man-made creations, which were a stone staircase, and an arch carved with elven carvings.

"The Elven Path, along which we can pass through the great jungle without getting lost in it."

"I don't want to go the way of elves." Thorin frowned.

"Then we need to go two hundred miles to the north, or four hundred miles to the south, and enough time for Sauron to prepare and send his army." Tang Sen said: "Don't expect Sauron to be stupid enough not to learn his lesson, believe me, the next attack will be oppressive." ”

Sauron is not a villain in a bad pulp novel, and after a defeat, he will not only send a slightly stronger opponent at a time, acting as a whetstone for the protagonist, until the protagonist beats the younger one and the old one, and finally grows up to stand in front of him.

Tang Sen believed that for the sake of the Supreme Ring, he would pour out the power of the entire Dogurdu, and even the Misty Mountains, and if it were not for Gandalf and the others to stop him, he would even appear in person and crush it with the power of thunder.

If word of Gandalf spreads quickly, the dark forces have already begun to march towards the Lonely Mountain.

"Moreover, we need to get to the Lonely Mountain before the day of Dulin, and time is running out now."

Townsend didn't pay any attention to Thorin's opinion, in fact, after this series of events, especially when Iluvita's gift was revealed, the control of this team had completely belonged to Thorin, and even Thorin had no way to resist.

Sarin took the lead, and the group retreated into the dark jungle, where the sunlight was completely gone, and all around them was the stench of rotting trees and an unsettling fog.

"The Cursed Forest!" "We're already cursed, I don't think the curse of this forest is stronger than the one on us," Shalda muttered. ”

"Not really." "The curse of the forest can't hurt us, but it can make us lost. ”

"I hate getting lost." Shalin carefully scanned the markings on the Elven Path, "Let's go faster, this place is too uncomfortable. ”

There was no day or night in the jungle, and along the path, the team didn't know how long it had been, and everyone felt dizzy and confused, even Townsend only felt empty and long when he looked at the things in front of him.

The curse of the Aztec gold has no function to protect the soul, and Townsen's resistance and willpower are no stronger than those of the dwarves.

"We're lost."

Thorin angrily kicked the trunk of the tree next to him: "Damn elves, this path is a trap!" It's going to make us never get out! ”

"Don't move!" Tang Sen saw the white spider silk wrapped around the trunks of those trees in a trance, and the memory of the original book suddenly made him feel excited and sober up a little.

It's not just the curse that haunts the forest, but also the descendants of Ongolian that are entrenched in it, dark creatures in the form of giant spiders that devour everything they see.

"Quick! Put on the Mithril Armor! Townsend shook his head and shouted, "Form a formation and prepare for the attack." ”

"Attack? Where are the attacks? Shalin staggered over: "Oak? Even if I face a hundred Orks, I don't want to wander around this hellish place anymore! ”

The dwarves put on their Mithril armor in a daze, not even bothering to feel the joy of wearing these treasures again, they could no longer form a tight formation as usual, and in the midst of the monstrous jungle, they staggered and scattered.

Tang Sen directly smashed his helmet on Shalin's head, and took out the Mithril Hammer in the other party's confused eyes: "Shalin, smash them up!" ”

"Otherwise, even with the Immortal Curse, we will be trapped in the cobwebs forever, unable to move again."

Sha Lin shook his head: "Your strength is too small!" ”

Without hesitation, she threw a punch into her face.

"It doesn't hurt..."

"I forgot that I had lost my pain because of the curse."

As he said this, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, directly knocking a dwarf to the ground.

Everyone could see the fluffy, black, eight-legged monster spewing out white spider silk, and in the blink of an eye, the dwarf was tightly wrapped.

Then the giant spider rose from the ground, grabbed the dwarf and disappeared into the forest.

"Damn it!"

The dwarves sobered up in horror.

"Big Machine!" Bahrain stammered and shouted, "Quick! Help! ”

Before the dwarves could move, there was a sudden shaking around them.

In all directions, including overhead, dense giant spiders appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
