Chapter 53 Famous Attractions

other side.

The two of them walked forward for a long time. When Gandalf calmed down a little, he said to Levi:

"Whether those dwarves are willing or not, we must go to Rivendell. The cipher text on the map can only be understood by Elrond, the lord of Rivendell. We alone cannot accomplish the ultimate goal of this trip."

"We need the help of the elves."

"Levi, if necessary, I hope you can help me persuade them, no matter what method you use."

"Okay, I will do it if necessary." Levi agreed.

"But where are we going? Why don't we go back?"

Seeing that it was getting dark, Levi asked Gandalf.

Gandalf was silent for a moment and responded: "I don't want to see the dwarves for the time being. So, you go back first, and I will continue to walk forward to explore the road, and then go back later."

"All right."

This is still a matter of anger.

Levi turned around and walked back.

On the other side, near the broken house.

Bilbo was carrying two bowls, preparing to give soup to Kili and Fili. However, when he passed by, he found that the two were standing still, in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

"We lost two horses. There were supposed to be seventeen horses here, but now there are only fifteen."

In addition to the fifteen horses used for riding, there are two horses specially used for carrying supplies.

"Do you want to tell Thorin first?"

"Uh, no, we don't want to worry him just yet."

"Levi's stupid-looking horse is also missing..."

Kili and Fili had a headache. This was a big problem. They couldn't afford to pay for the equipment on the horse.

"As a snitch from the expedition team, I think you should help us research this matter."

Hearing this, Bilbo had no choice but to put down the bowl in his hand and look around.

"These big trees seem to have been uprooted by something..."

Looking at the traces left at the scene, Bilbo felt a little panicked from the bottom of his heart. What could be strong enough to uproot a tree?

"Agree."

Qili said, and suddenly noticed something seemed to be in the distance.

"Wait, there seems to be fire over there..."

"What's that?"

"Troll."

Kili replied with a serious face.

"It's time for you to play your role, Mr. Baggins. Those mountain trolls are clumsy and have poor intelligence. They will definitely not see you when you are so small."

"Me? No, no, no, no, I don't..."

"We'll be watching over your shoulder."

thump.

Before he finished speaking, Bilbo was already pushed out of the grass.

"All right."

Now that things have come to this, we can only bite the bullet.

"Go get someone."

Although Kili and Fili were afraid of being scolded by Uncle Thorin, they could still distinguish the seriousness of the matter. They realized that the trolls were not something they could handle, so they immediately called everyone over.

A group of dwarves watched Bilbo's actions nervously.

Until, he was discovered by the troll and caught in his hands.

"Are there any of your accomplices around here?"

"No."

"lie."

"No, I said no!" Even though the situation was dangerous, Bilbo was determined not to betray his teammates.

Seeing Bilbo's appearance, Kili couldn't hold back on the spot. He picked up his sword and rushed out to slash the troll.

"Let him go!"

"Go!" Seeing that he could no longer hide, Thorin immediately gave the order and was the first to rush out.

A group of dwarves roared and followed closely behind.

The scene quickly became a mess, but despite the chaos, the dwarves' cooperation seemed to be tight, and they hit the trolls hard one after another.

The extremely high sense of team fighting and tacit understanding are the reasons why the dwarves can become a powerful army in Zhongzhou despite their short bodies.

"Damn troll, try this!"

when!

Someone picked up a warhammer and hit a troll on the head hard. However, the blow that would normally blow a person's head apart only knocked out a few of the troll's teeth.

The skin of these trolls is too thick and as hard as rock, making it difficult for ordinary weapons to damage them.

Even if he was as strong as a dwarf, he could only scratch some skin and fat and make the troll scream, but it was still very difficult to inflict fatal injuries.

But even so, with the cooperation of the dwarves, the trolls soon fell into a disadvantage and saw that they would be killed if they kept grinding for a while.

Suddenly, two trolls grabbed Bilbo's limbs.

"Drop your weapons or we'll tear him apart!"

The group looked at Thorin.

Thorin looked at Bilbo, whose eyes were filled with horror.

Without hesitation, he put down his weapon.

He chose to exchange the safety of his own group of thirteen dwarves for Bilbo's life, rather than exchange Bilbo's life for the safety of thirteen dwarves.

Trolls prefer fresh food and usually do not kill their prey until it reaches the entrance.

At this moment, a group of dwarves were tied to one side, groaning and cursing the trolls, and watching the water in the pot boil.

"We have to hurry up, or it's going to be dawn, and I don't want to turn into stone..."

A troll said, the speaker was unintentional but the listener was intentional. Bilbo realized something and immediately stood up to delay time.

"No, no, no, that's not what dwarves do, you have to, uh, skin them first!"

The dwarves made a noise.

"What did you say, you little hobbit, you were waiting for me to come out-"

Thorin kicked the shouting dwarf to signal him to be quiet.

Bilbo ignored the dwarf's threat and was trying hard to think of ways to delay time.

Thinking about it, he suddenly saw a person appearing on the boulder next to him.

A man in black armor.

The man raised his finger to Bilbo in a "quiet" sign.

Then, while the trolls' attention was on Bilbo, they suddenly jumped out.

Boom!

With a critical strike from the sword, the hit troll screamed, and the hard skin that the dwarves had been unable to break through despite all their efforts was cut open, and blood flowed out.

At the same time, as the flames of the sword flickered, the troll was also ignited. While its body was burning with flames, it could not stop wailing and fell to the ground rolling.

"They have accomplices!"

At this moment, the trolls did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and actually attacked directly.

Levi slashed with his sword again, setting the second troll on fire.

However, there was still one troll that was not hit. The fist, which was bigger than an entire dwarf, hit Levi with the wind.

"Danger, behind you!" Thorin shouted at the critical moment.

But Levi just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised a hand, and said "Boom!" to directly block the troll's attack.

His figure never took a step back.

This is the knockback resistance that comes with netherite armor.

"I must be hallucinating."

Some dwarves stared at this scene with wide eyes, unable to blink.

That punch would have forced everyone on the scene to get down on the spot, but he actually raised his hand to block it? !

Blocking the incoming fist with a sword, Levi kept turning around, one person suppressing three trolls at the same time and fighting. What is surprising is that every time the trolls made a move, Levi seemed to have expected it. Generally, you can directly make moves in advance to avoid it.

It's like he has the ability to predict the future.

Although Levi could have directly relied on his armor to attack the troll, he still subconsciously remembered his previous combat experience and showed off the troll fiercely while moving around.

"Damn loach!"

A troll cursed.

However, the smartest one suddenly stopped and took two steps back.

Facing this situation, he couldn't help but think of a scary story that was circulated among the ethnic group a long time ago, that is the legend of the money-eating ghost.

It is said that no troll attack can hit the money-swallowing ghost. The money-swallowing ghost will search for lone trolls, kill them, and swallow all the treasures they have stored, taking them away without leaving any behind.

Because of this legend, many trolls who liked to live alone at that time chose to form a group and act together.

"You, you are a money-eater!" the troll who retreated behind shouted, his eyes filled with horror.

What kind of money-eater?

The tied dwarves looked at me and I looked at you, wondering what the troll was shouting.

"That's what you call me." Levi shook off the blood on his sword and smiled.

But in the eyes of the troll, this smile seemed like a deadly scythe.

"Run quickly——"

Boom!

"Let the dawn take you away!"

Before the trolls could escape, a figure suddenly appeared on the boulder next to them. He slammed his stick down, causing the boulder to crack on the spot.

The sun just shines in.

“Ahhhh——!!!”

The three trolls maintained their fleeing posture and turned into stone sculptures.

"Gandalf!" Bilbo exclaimed.

"Oh, it seems that I didn't arrive in time. It seems that the problem here can be solved without me."
