Chapter 245 Escape, the Hobbits return to the team

Ding!

Just as Gollum was about to get closer, Bilbo's dagger was pressed against his throat.

“Back off, back off.

I warn you, don't come any closer. "

Gollum backed away repeatedly, muttering to himself: "He has an elf's sword, but he is not an elf.

He's not an elf, so what is he, baby? "

"My name is Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit from the Shire."

"Oh!" Gollum said in surprise, "We like orcs, bats and fish, but we have never tried hobbits. Is the meat plump and juicy?"

Bilbo looked at Gollum who was approaching slowly, and immediately raised his sword and swung it wildly to scare him away.

Gulu was afraid of the sword in his hand and had to keep his distance.

"I don't want to get into trouble, just tell me how to get out and I'll go."

Gollum knew the safe route to leave, but his mental state was abnormal. He talked to himself from time to time, constantly changing between good and evil.

Finally the two decided to play a guessing game.

If Bilbo wins, Gollum will tell him how to get out. If he loses, Gollum will eat him as food.

Neither of them thought that they would lose, or that they would not abide by the rules of the game if they lost.

...

On the other side, the Orc King sang proudly, and his Orcs pushed the bone crusher and meat grinder over, preparing to throw the dwarves into it.

When Aaron saw this, he knew he couldn't wait any longer. He aimed at the Orc Queen, took a deep breath and jumped down from above.

boom!

A loud noise suddenly came from the throne, attracting everyone's attention.

When the smoke cleared, the Orc King lay on the floor and rolled his eyes, while Aaron held a knife to his neck.

"Are you surprised or surprised?

I think you may not have noticed that the snitch in the team is missing. "

The dwarves burst into violent cheers, while the orcs who beat them were at a loss.

"Are you a human?" the Orc King asked in astonishment, "Why do you come to my Orc City?"

"Save some dwarves." Aaron pressed the knife down half an inch and said semi-threateningly: "You should know what I mean."

"Of course." The Orc King blinked lightly, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you let our distinguished dwarf guests go?"

The orcs looked at each other in confusion, but they did not dare to disobey the king's order, and they retreated helplessly like the tide.

The dwarves immediately adjusted their state, picked up the confiscated weapons, and confronted the orcs around them.

Thorin pulled out the Beastbiting Sword and turned around to look at the Orc King coldly.

He remembered the previous humiliation, and now it was time to avenge it.

"This sword..." The Orc King couldn't help but swallow as he looked at the unsheathed Beast Sword, and his huge body trembled. "It's the Sword that killed thousands of Orcs."

"You have a good eye, you will be next."

"No, don't do it." Aaron stopped Thorin immediately, "If he dies, all of us will be buried with him."

"Yes." The Orc King grabbed a life-saving straw and laughed: "That's right, you can't kill me, and you can't leave the Orc City even if you kill me."

Uh-huh!

The sword light flashed, and a piece of meat on the Orc King's chin was cut off by Aaron. The red piece of meat fell to the ground, and the Orc King also let out a painful scream.

"How dare you?" The Orc King looked at Aaron in horror, "Don't you know how serious the consequences would be if I died?"

"Aren't you still alive now?" Aaron said playfully, with a harmless smile on his face, but it made the Orc King feel cold in his heart.

He understood what Aaron meant. As long as he didn't die, he could make the orcs throw a rat weapon.

However, 'not dead' is very maneuverable. If he is lucky, he can be safe and sound, and if he is unlucky, he can be half dead.

"Understood?

As a prisoner, you must have the awareness of a prisoner. Don't be so arrogant, it will not be good for you. "

Thorin also reacted and looked at the Orc King with a sneer, "It shouldn't hurt to have missing arms and legs, right?"

"No, Thorin Oakenshield, you can't do that." The Orc King said in a panic.

"Really not." Aaron poured cold water on Thorin's heart. "A crippled Orc King is not a king. Do you think this hostage will make them afraid?"

Thorin glanced at the densely packed Orcs around him and patted the Orc King on the face with his Beastbiting Sword, "You are lucky."

The Orc King was nervous and angry, but he didn't dare to say anything unnecessary for fear of losing a few more pieces of meat on his body.

"What now?" Dwalin asked.

"Let him lead the way and send us out." Thorin said, "Kili, Fili, you two help Aaron escort him."

The two dwarf brothers looked at each other and walked up to the Orc King with their swords in hand.

The Orc King stood up carefully. Fili and Kili stood on the left and right sides with swords against his waist. As long as he made the slightest move, they would stab him without hesitation.

The group of people moved forward cautiously amid the orcs. The orc king was surrounded by dwarves and lost his previous majesty.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the ground under the Orc King's feet suddenly cracked.

Before Fili and Kili could react, he fell to the next level.

"Careless."

Aaron slapped his thigh in frustration. They had taken care of everything around them, but they had forgotten that these orcs were also good at digging holes.

"Hahaha!" The Orc King laughed wildly, "Everyone, come on, kill them, chop off Oak Shield's head.

Leave that human to me, I'm going to torture him to death slowly."

"Fuck!" Aaron cursed, "Where's the Orc King? Can you be a little more generous?"

"Don't worry about it." Dwalin knocked an orc who rushed over with a hammer, "Let's deal with the current situation first!"

The dwarves fought hard, but facing the tide of orcs, they were soon submerged again.

Aaron's situation was slightly better. This was the first time he had seen such a big scene, and he couldn't handle it.

But because of the order of the Orc King, he faced much less pressure than the dwarves.

Suddenly, a violent white light lit up.

The powerful shock wave shook countless orcs away, and the dwarves were also crushed to the ground by this force.

Gandalf slowly walked out of the darkness, holding a staff in his left hand and a fencing sword in his right hand.

He looked at the dwarves who were surrounded and almost lost their fighting spirit, and said in a deep voice: "Pick up your weapons and fight."

"Fight."

Gandalf roared loudly, and the morale of the dwarves was instantly restored. They shouted and picked up their weapons, sweeping the surrounding orcs with unmatched momentum.

"He is holding a fencing sword." The orc king pointed at Gandalf and said in horror, "The fencing is as dazzling as the sun."

Aaron followed the voice and saw the orc king. He wanted to capture him as a hostage again, but the scene was too chaotic now, and the other party had a certain defense. Even if he risked using Apparition, he would not be very sure.

"Damn human." The orc king roared and rushed over, raised his scepter and smashed it hard on Aaron's head.

"Who are you looking down on?"

Aaron made a knife flower and slashed at the orc king's scepter.

The blade and the scepter collided, and the Orc King was shocked back several steps by the powerful force and fell off the wooden bridge.

Aaron's hands also trembled slightly. The knife in his hand was just an ordinary elf weapon and could not withstand too much force.

"Follow me, hurry up." Gandalf said.

Everyone immediately followed him and ran towards a cave.

They fled and killed in this intricate underground nest. Dwalin raised a piece of wood and swept it left and right, Kili set up a ladder and rushed forward, and Bombur used his own weight to destroy the bridge.

They used everything they could use to cut a bloody path.

When they fled to a cliff, Gandalf raised his staff and hit an irregular round boulder. Everyone pushed it forward and crushed a group of Orcs.

Behind them was a crowd of Orcs chasing them. They did not dare to stop for a moment and ran forward madly.

Until they ran to the center of a wooden bridge near the exit, the Orc King suddenly jumped up from below and blocked the front of everyone.

At the same time, more and more orcs surrounded them from all directions.

"Do you think you can escape from me?" The orc king swung his scepter and repelled Gandalf twice, "You are helpless, wizard?"

Aaron pulled the bow and arrow and shot the orc king in the eye.

"Ah!" The orc king covered his eyes and looked at Aaron angrily, "You again?"

Gandalf took the opportunity to swing the enemy sword and cut a huge gap in the orc king's stomach, cutting one-third of his body.

"Wizard." The orc king knelt on the wooden bridge, "This trick seems to work."

Gandalf didn't waste any words and slashed his throat with a sword.

The orc king's neck was cut in half, and he collapsed on the wooden bridge, completely losing his life.

"This is called the villain died because of talking too much." Aaron said disdainfully. If the orc king was more serious, they would not be able to kill him so easily.

Crack!

The wooden bridge suddenly shook, and the front and back ends made a creaking sound at the same time.

An ominous premonition emerged in Aaron's mind. He looked down and found that it was an abyss. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Haha! Be careful about the occasion next time you kill someone." Aaron patted Gandalf's shoulder, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and then hugged a sturdy wood tightly, "Don't just stand there, hold on tight, it's a steep slope."

The dwarves were still a little confused, but Gandalf reacted, "Hold on tight."

The next moment, the wooden bridge broke, and the expedition team fell down with the bridge and the people.

As the broken bridge fell, it hit the cliffs on both sides back and forth. In the process, the wooden boards on the bridge surface split like tofu dregs, and the dwarves shouted in panic.

The broken bridge was destroyed when it landed, and the dwarves were buried in the wooden ruins, but fortunately everyone was safe.

Aaron let go of his hands, jumped off the broken bridge, and patted the dust off his body as if nothing had happened.

"It was a safe landing."

Gandalf also climbed out, staggering a few times before he could barely stand.

"It's not too bad." Bofur said.

The body of the Orc King suddenly fell down, and the huge weight made the broken bridge even more unbearable. The pressure on the dwarves also increased significantly, and they were miserable.

"Nonsense, are you kidding me!" Dwalin said angrily.

"This incident tells us not to be happy too early." Aaron smiled.

The dwarves climbed out, and before they could take a breath, dense roars came from above.

I saw the orcs chasing down the mountain wall, as far as the eye could see.

"Is this even okay?" Aaron said with wide eyes.

"They are outnumbered and we are no match for them," Dwalin said.

"The only thing that can save us is daylight." Gandalf said hurriedly, "Run quickly."

Gandalf ran along a path with Aaron and the dwarves, and finally saw a light not far away.

The strength of these orcs will drop sharply in daylight. They will not move during the day. As long as they pass through the hole in front, they will be safe.

After everyone rushed out of the cave, they did not stop. Instead, they continued to run forward and stopped only after making sure they were far away from the orc's lair.

"One, two, three... five, six, seven, eight... Bifo, Bofo, ten.

Fili, Kili, twelve, plus Bombur, thirteen. Gandalf counted the people and then noticed that Bilbo Baggins was not there.

"Where is Bilbo?" Gandalf asked anxiously, "Where are our hobbits?"

"The cursed halfling, now he is gone." Dwalin said disdainfully, "I thought he was with Dori."

"Don't blame me." Doli said unjustly.

"Where did you last see him?"

"The first time he was caught, he took the opportunity to escape," Noli said.

"Then what?"

"Let me tell you what happened?" Thorin stood up and said, "Baggins ran away when he saw the opportunity. After he left home, he wanted a soft bed and a fireplace."

"Well..." Aaron raised his right hand sarcastically, "Things may not be what you think.

Bilbo does have the idea of ​​​​leaving the team, but that is human nature, I think..."

"Gaius," Gandalf interrupted Aaron, "do you know where our hobbits are?"

Aaron nodded slightly, "If nothing else happens, he should be somewhere underground in our Half-Beast City now.

Also, I must correct you, he didn't just run away when he saw an opportunity. "

"What is that?" Thorin asked. "When we were captured, you came to rescue us, but you couldn't see him at all."

"Uh...he wants to save you, but he's just not capable enough.

The first time I was captured, I killed the three orcs who were escorting me.

At that time, I planned to put Bilbo in a safe location first, but when I went back, I found that he was dueling with an orc and fell off the cliff with him.

But don't worry, I confirmed that he was not injured.

The first thing he did after waking up was not to run away, but to ask me about your safety. "

Gandalf took a deep breath, "We have to get him back."

"No, I left something for him, which is enough to keep him safe."

"I'm talking about getting him back." Gandalf tapped the ground a few times with his staff. "Our team needs hobbits, do you understand?"

"I completely understand." Aaron nodded solemnly, "That's why I gave him the choice.

Bilbo could come back anytime he wanted. "

Gandalf was silent for a few seconds, and just as he was about to say something, Bilbo jumped out from behind a tree.

"I miss my soft bed and fireplace, but I don't want to leave the expedition just yet."

"Bilbo Baggins." Gandalf stepped forward happily, "You are the person I am happiest to see in my life."

Bilbo shrugged, took off the package from his back, and handed the dark blue blanket to Aaron, "It's better to return this thing to its original owner."

Aaron raised his eyebrows after taking it, "How did you get out?"

Bilbo laughed and quietly put the golden ring into his pocket.

How did it come out? Thinking about it is like dreaming.

He played a guessing game with Gollum. After a few games, neither side decided the winner, so he asked Gollum to guess what he had hidden in his pocket.

Who knew he was so mentally disturbed that he pounced on him without guessing, forcing him to run away in a hurry.

On the way to escape, he accidentally put on this ring and gained the ability to become invisible. He happened to meet a member of the expedition team who was avoiding the orcs, and he escaped in a daze.
