Chapter 255: The Battle of Smaug
The dwarves' passages are quite narrow, and with Wayne's tall size, they must be bent down to advance normally.
Looking at Bilbo, who was walking in front of him and trembling a little, Wayne smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, reached out and patted the hobbit on the shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone:
"Don't worry, Bilbo."
"Your mission is to find the Arkansas without waking Smaug."
"I don't need you to fight the dragon."
"Once that evil dragon wakes up, you just hide in a safe place, just get out of here, and I'll take care of the rest, and I'll protect you."
In the face of Wayne's comfort, Bilbo gratefully looked back and smiled at him, the journey of the past six months can be said to be the most thrilling, exciting, and memorable adventure in Bilbo's life.
As a hobbit who enjoys comfort and contentment, being able to have such a colorful adventure is enough for him to remember the rest of his life.
Of course, this is not a flag, after getting Wayne's assurance, Bilbo has a lot less worries, and he has become more decisive and steady in his every move.
The two quickly walked through the narrow secret passage, and as the front suddenly opened up, a jaw-dropping scene came into the eyes of the two.
Gold, gold, glittering gold, like a vast ocean of gold, filled all the sights of the two.
In the huge room, which is thousands of square meters, the mountains of gold are like a golden ocean, golden cups and marigolds, gemstone necklaces, and countless amounts of gold like the sand in the desert, which is simply dizzying.
Not to mention Bilbo, a native, even Wayne, a time-traveler born in the modern world, was shocked by the treasure in this lonely mountain, which is worthy of being the place where the most wealth of Middle-earth is gathered, and the gold here is enough to make any country and any ordinary person crazy.
Just a random estimate, there are probably hundreds of millions, or even billions of gold coins here.
The thought that one-third of the gold here would belong to him made Wayne's mood become excited.
It is conceivable that after obtaining this wealth, when he returns to the wizarding world, in terms of financial resources alone, he can compete with the entire northern countries, and it is not an exaggeration to be called the richest man in the wizarding world.
When the time comes, Grandpa Wayne's name will be well deserved.
And with the wealth of the world, he can do all the things he wants.
In the end, Wayne quickly woke up from the fantasy of great wealth, he patted Bilbo, who was still dizzy beside him, and did not speak, but made a look at him, told him to get ready, and started acting.
Bilbo, who was the hobbit who could withstand the temptation of the One Ring in the books, quickly adjusted his mind, took a light breath, and then stepped lightly into the ocean of gold, and began to search for the Arkansas diamond.
Wayne also drew the sword of victory of the oath behind his back, concentrating, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
It didn't matter to him whether Bilbo had found the Arkansas or not, the Hobbit was actually a lure for Smaug to help him locate him.
As soon as the dragon appeared, Wayne would immediately attack and deliver a fatal blow to him.
The structure of the gold mountain and gold sea composed of gold coins is quite loose, and the stickiness between each gold coin can be said to be almost non-existent, and a small touch can easily cause a collapse.
However, the hobbit is worthy of being a snitch in the sky, even if Bilbo has not been trained as a very professional thief, but his foot on the gold coin is quite steady, and he does not make much noise at all, even most witchers cannot do this level.
Wayne stood on the terrace, looking at Bilbo, who was constantly searching for Arkansas diamonds in the mountains of gold below, and his heart was peaceful.
The warm blood in his body made his strength burst out continuously, and the trembling muscles all over his body instilled all his strength in his arms.
After about an hour, there was a slight cheer from Bilbo's side.
Wayne looked up and saw that the little hobbit was holding an oval-shaped, ostrich-egg-sized multicolored gem in his hand, and was waving at him excitedly.
It was the Arkon Diamond, and although neither of them had ever seen this legendary treasure, just the first glance at that gem, everyone would understand that it was the treasure of the Turin clan, the Arkon Diamond
And Bilbo didn't notice that just as he was cheering for finding the Arken Treasure Diamond, behind him, a huge vertical pupil with a size of seventy or eighty centimeters had quietly opened.
With a slight tremor, a large number of gold coins began to collapse downward like a waterfall, like a mudslide composed of gold, which instantly set off waves in the entire golden treasury, and such a reaction immediately attracted Bilbo's attention.
At this critical moment, the hobbit behaved very reliably, and without any hesitation, he immediately poured the invisible potion that Wayne gave him.
The potion from Azeroth worked so quickly that before Smaug could recover from his centuries-long slumber, Bilbo's figure had disappeared with only a row of shallow footprints, representing the hobbit's rapid escape.
The bronze-colored dragon, which was hundreds of meters long, slowly revealed its body from the golden sea.
He shook his head, shook his wings, and shook the gold coins piled up on his body off his body, revealing a graceful and fierce body.
He opened his mouth and spat out a foul-smelling breath, and then said in a hoarse and vicious lingua franca:
"Strange smell, not stinky dwarves, not fragrant elves, strange, what kind of rat actually crawled into my treasury."
However, before Smaug could figure out who the thief was, he suddenly felt a slight sinking around his neck, as if something was standing on his back.
The danger instinct in his body was about to force him to roll around and get rid of the thing on his back.
Smaug suddenly felt his neck tingle, a pain that he hadn't experienced for hundreds of years, instantly entering his brain, causing the dragon to let out a terrified roar.
"Ahh!!h
"Who is it? Which scumbag is on my back? ”
"Who would dare to harm the great Smaug!"
As the deafening roar resounded throughout the vault, Smaug, like a mad boar, slammed his back into one of the pillars of the vault, trying to knock the thing that had just landed on his back in this way.
And Wayne really didn't dare to bet with his body, and at the same time, he didn't want to bear the feeling of being in close contact with the stone pillar, so he hurriedly jumped off the dragon's back.
It's a shame that damn Smaug, his dragon scales are much harder than the dragons of the wizarding world and the dragon scales of the Elder Scrolls world.
With Wayne's current strength five times that of ordinary people, he still uses a good weapon like the Sword of Oath Victory, and with all his strength, he slashed at the dragon's weaker neck, and actually only cut a small wound.
It's a shame that I didn't get a fatal blow.
And Wayne didn't know that the sword just now had scared Smaug to the ground, as the last evil dragon in Middle-earth, many of the powerhouses of the First Age had fallen to the present, and he could be said to be one of the top existences on the side of the dark forces.
I don't know how long it has been, and I haven't tasted hurt.
And Wayne's sword that slashed at his neck and made him bleed more than once, made him feel the taste of death for a long time.
After breaking a stone pillar, Smaug didn't think about it, his fiery chest bulged slightly, and a mouthful of orange-red dragon flame as high as a thousand degrees spurted out of his bloody mouth and spewed towards where Wayne was standing.
The high-temperature flames quickly melted the gold in the witcher's location, turning the piles of gold coins into a puddle of gold.
However, Wayne's figure had vanished in place before Dragon Burn could arrive, appearing above Smaug's back.
It's not that he didn't want to appear directly on Smaug's back, slashing at the wound in the dragon's neck again.
It's just that, as the owner of the primary Ancient Blood, his flickering needs to calculate the position, and he can't cross it at will.
Otherwise, if you cross in the wrong position, and unlucky enough to get your body stuck in someone else's body, or stuck in a stone or wood, it will be an instant fatal injury, and Lord Wayne will not dare to take this risk.
However, as soon as he fell from mid-air and stood on Smaug's back, the dragon reacted immediately, ignoring his own image, rolling on his side in a sea of gold coins, like a relipo dog, swearing to throw the dangerous man off his back.
And in the face of this situation, Wayne was also helpless, he didn't want to use his body and metal to fight hard, so he could only use his sharp two-handed sword to leave large and small wounds on the dragon's body in the gap between Smaug's tumbling.
At the same time, the experienced ancient dragon, who had been slashed all over his body, had also understood that Wayne had the ability to teleport, and this discovery immediately cast a shadow on Smaug's already somewhat timid heart.
Originally, a dragon like him was not very good at dealing with those creatures who were dexterous and good at dodging.
This time, he actually encountered an enemy who could teleport directly and destroy his scales with attack power, which was simply his nemesis.
Smaug, who was timid by nature, immediately gave up the idea of continuing to fight Wayne, and a retreat rose in his heart.
He didn't even dare to turn his head and leave a cruel word, he just rolled desperately in the gold coins, slammed his body into the surrounding walls, and finally took advantage of an opportunity to roll and flapp his wings and run towards the gate of the Lonely Mountain Treasure House.
Smaug, who had never experienced what it was like to be hunted down by others, experienced the fear of being a prey for the first time.
However, just when his feet were exerted and his body was just rising, in the face of his prey, Lord Wayne was unceremonious, and a long distance of several hundred meters flashed in front of Smaug.
At the same time, the spatial bracelet in his left hand aimed at Smaug's body, and began to glow with magical brilliance.
As a magical creature, Smaug immediately noticed the powerful magic fluctuations in front of him, and a rather comical expression of fear immediately appeared on the originally eerie and terrifying dragon face, and he flapped his wings with all his might, forcibly pulling his body upwards.
And just where he was on his chest, an extremely dazzling white lightning spear composed of countless powerful electric lights, just like real lightning, instantly flew out from Wayne's hand and hit his current right leg, this is the six-ring spell, the spear of Herat.
The high-temperature and powerful lightning spear, with a thud, shattered his dragon scales, directly melting Smaug's thigh into a blood hole the size of a watermelon, and then hit a wall behind him, blasting the wall into a crater of about half a meter.
The ancient dragon immediately opened its mouth and let out a painful wail, and blood-red blood instantly flowed all over his thighs, but his body did not hesitate at all, like a ruined dog with a broken leg, while wailing, he almost exerted all his strength, and rushed towards the gate of the Lonely Mountain Palace.
The speed was so fast that even Wayne could barely catch up with the continuous use of the flickering ability, and there was no time to launch an attack.
The distance of thousands of meters was fleeting, and Smaug was probably frightened, and in the face of Wayne's pursuit behind him, he did not slow down at all, and slammed directly into the stone gate forged by the dwarves.
With a loud bang, the huge stone gate that the dwarves of the lonely mountain had used to defend themselves against the enemy shattered.
Smaug let out another wail of pain, and without hesitation, he stirred his wings with all his might, wanting to fly towards the endless sky outside.
He firmly believed in his heart that as long as he flew into the sky, he would be able to escape from the pursuit of the hateful hunter below, and he would be able to escape from Ascension.
As for the matter of revenge, before he recovered from his wounds, before he had collected information about this enemy, Smaug, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, would never dare to mention this thought.
However, at the moment when Smaug burst out of the dwarven gates, thinking that he could save the life of a dog, that he could fly into the sky.
Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar sounded from his side, and a terrifying figure eight or nine meters tall, with dark green scales all over his body, and the appearance was like an ancient fierce beast, with a powerful huge force, jumped up from his side.
Like a hungry tiger pounced, the strong thighs not only trampled hard, but also stepped directly on Smaug's back, and the claws of the legs hooked like iron hooks on his scales.
Two arms with long sharp claws, also like steel, wrapped around his slender neck.
And what made Smaug feel his soul flying the most was that after the terrifying beast had locked his body steadily, a bloody mouth with a bloody aura and dense sharp fangs had bitten into his neck.
As if bitten by an ancient beast, Smaug felt a clear pain in his neck, the scales and flesh on it being torn apart, and the wound left on his neck by the hateful man was torn open again, and the blood in his body gushed out, and the laceration even reached his trachea.
Faced with such an injury, a flash of realization flashed through Smaug's heart.
I'm going to die!
