Chapter 256: Four levels in a row

The deathclaw's movements were extremely fast, and the moment Smaug broke through the city gate, the hunting instinct engraved in his genes made it like a top predator, and instantly wrapped itself around Smaug's neck and began to bite desperately.

However, just like a high-speed plane crashing, Smaug rushed out of the gate so fast that even if Robin bit his neck, he still flew dozens of meters into the air with a death claw weighing more than a dozen tons, and then fell violently, shattering a lot of rocks and scraping a deep ravine on the hard dirt floor.

However, as a terrifying monster capable of carrying a miniature nuclear bomb with its flesh, Deathclaw's physical defense is much stronger than Smaug's.

Even if he fell to the ground from a height of dozens of meters and crashed all the way over, the deathclaws didn't seem to be harmed at all, still biting the dragon's neck, swallowing in his mouth, not eating whether to devour Smaug's flesh or drink his blood, the pair of viper-like vertical pupils were flashing with strange light.

When Wayne rushed out of the lonely mountain and came to the place where the two giant beasts fell, he saw such a scene.

Smaug, considered the most powerful and evil creature in the entire North, slumped to the ground like mud, his glowing vertical pupils dimmed.

The huge deathclaws were crawling on its neck to eat happily, and when they saw Wayne coming, they even let out a cheerful purr, slowly waging their thick tails, like a large erha.

And Wayne, who was proficient in beast language, couldn't help but let out a chuckle when he heard this voice.

It turned out that Robin had eaten well, and felt that Smaug's flesh and blood were very good for him, so he invited this master to eat a few bites with him.

Looking at Smaug's huge body, Wayne approached and glanced at the huge eyes, but unfortunately, the evil dragon, whose blood had almost been drained, had no reaction, and the originally hot body was gradually losing its temperature.

Wayne thought for a moment, took out the meteorite knife from his waist bag, and then came to Smaug's soft lower abdomen, ready to skin and debone the dragon while it was hot, and collect the materials that could be used.

After all, in terms of physical strength and strength alone, the dragon Smaug is much more precious than those dragons in the wizarding world, and the materials on his body should be able to make a lot of powerful equipment.

It just so happened that the Demon Hunter Order was in dire need of a batch of powerful equipment to strengthen everyone's strength, and Smaug's size should be able to meet the needs of many people.

And just when they were busy with their own affairs, Thorin and a group of dwarves rushed out of the lonely mountain quickly, and then, these dwarven warriors who had been fighting to the death couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise and cheer when they looked at the dead Smaug.

Looking at Wayne and Robin the Death Claw, the eyes unconsciously showed respect and admiration from the heart.

They didn't expect things to go so smoothly that they didn't even need to participate in the battle, and the dragon Smaug, who had always appeared in their nightmares, had already been killed by Wayne and turned into a corpse.

Seeing Thorin and the others appear, Wayne put down the meteorite knife in his hand, bowed slightly to the dwarven prince, and then showed a triumphant smile on his face, and said in a calm voice:

"Prince Thorin, congratulations, the dragon Smaug has been destroyed, we have recaptured the Lonely Mountain, and the goal of this expedition to the Lonely Mountain has been accomplished."

"You'll get the Arkan Diamond right away and become the new king of the mountain."

"And the contract between us has been completed."

"I wonder how you think my mission has been accomplished, Lord Thorin?"

After listening to Wayne's words, Thorin's originally excited expression became slightly more serious, he nodded approvingly at Wayne, and then said:

"You've done a great job, Mr. Wayne."

"You are the most powerful adventurer I have ever met, and an eternal friend of our Turin family."

"This expedition, without your joining, will definitely not be as smooth as it is now, and we can't even think of how to defeat Smaug and recapture the Lonely Mountain."

"You are the greatest hero of the Lonely Mountain Expedition in this world."

"On behalf of all the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom, I would like to pay tribute to you, your story will be passed on forever among our Lonely Mountain Dwarves, and any dwarf of the Turin clan will always remember your help to us."

After listening to Thorin's solemn words, Wayne was slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the stubborn and greedy dwarf prince in the original book to behave so gracefully.

Could it be because Bilbo didn't get the One Ring, and even the prince didn't get the invisible bewitchment of the One Ring, and the dragon didn't attack?

With Thorin's recognition of him, the two high-level tasks he came into contact with the dwarven prince also heard the sound of the system prompting completion.

Bite! Master quest [Obtain Arkan Diamond], completed.

Gain: 450 XP, Master Chest.

Bite! Epic quest [Hunt for the Dragon Smaug], completed.

Gain: 4200 XP and Epic Chests.

In just an instant, Wayne felt a subtle change in his body, from the time Charles set out, the Lonely Mountain Expedition to the present, a total of nearly four months, he has completed two master missions, an epic mission, as well as a dozen expert missions and a large number of ordinary tasks along the way.

And at King Elrond, there is also a reward for the masterclass quest to clear the orc clan in the Misty Mountains, waiting for him to claim.

In the space of a few months, he has earned more than 6,000 XP points in rewards, as well as a large number of various high-level treasure chests.

His level has also been directly increased from level thirteen to level seventeen, and he has risen by four levels, gaining a total of more than twenty points of physical fitness improvement, as well as four ability points.

Such a harvest can really be said to be a great harvest, and the thought that soon, he may be able to take on the task of an epic battle of the five armies, Wayne's mood immediately became more pleasant.

Sure enough, it was the high-level task that improved the most, and an epic task was worth half a year or even a year's effort.

After saying the words of gratitude, before Wayne could open his mouth to ask the question of payment, Thorin's expression struggled slightly, then looked at his companion, and then at Wayne and behind him, Robin, the Deathclaw who had been feasting on Smaug's corpse without distraction, exhaled a cloudy breath, and spoke:

"Come, my brothers, my friends, now that this Lonely Mountain Expedition has been completed, it's time to divide our spoils."

Speaking of this, the handsome dwarven prince looked up at the sky, sighed, and said:

"Actually, ever since I first saw the gold in the treasure house, there has been an evil thought in my heart that has been provoking my reason, and it has been instigating me to monopolize the gold like an indelible nightmare."

"However, I don't want to be sorry for everyone's efforts, I don't want to lose everyone's trust, and I don't want to tarnish the reputation of the King of the Mountain."

"So, divide the gold as soon as possible, or I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my promise."
