Chapter 64 Black Forest

At the same time as the expedition entered the Black Forest.

In the Dol Guldur Fortress, a dark shadow appeared from the high tower, overlooking the land full of shadows.

"Azog..."

The terrifying voice sounded from the pale orc's mind. Azog suddenly opened his eyes and gasped. He touched his chest twice and found that the huge scratch from the shoulder to the waist had completely healed, leaving only a long scar, indicating that he was indeed injured.

He raised his head and looked up at the shadow on the high tower calling his name.

Subconsciously, Azog felt angry, but after a closer look, he found that it was not the person he hated.

That was... the Dark Lord, Sauron.

"Azog, you lead the army and prepare to start a war."

"What about the dwarves?" Azog asked Sauron without bothering to look at the recovered wound.

"You promised me to let him die!"

If another half-orc dared to talk back like this, he might have died on the spot, but Azog and Sauron were more of a cooperative relationship, and he had the qualifications to make demands.

Obviously, Sauron had made some kind of promise, but at this moment he did not respond to this question, but forced Azog to lead the army.

Azog was so angry that his chest kept rising and falling on the spot, but the situation was stronger than the orcs, and no matter how angry he was, he had to obey the order. In desperation, he had to call his son Bolger and let Bolger lead the team to continue to target the dwarves.

As the son of Azog, Bolger inherited Azog's physique very well. He was as tall and strong.

"That human, if you see him, I allow you to retreat temporarily, but if you can kill him, the position of leader is yours."

Azog made a promise angrily, and soon Bolger set off with a group of orcs.

In the dense forest.

The dwarves were drowsy and complained about the dark forest.

However, although the environment was dim and the sun was invisible, the group's actions were still smooth. They did not encounter any danger along the way and soon arrived at a broken bridge.

"Don't touch it."

Levi reminded the dwarf who tried to reach out and touch the river, but he tried to fill some river water with a bucket, but there was nothing unusual, just ordinary water. Obviously, the magic in the river could not be taken away and would only work in the Black Forest.

Following Levi, Thorin also reminded loudly: "Didn't you hear what Gandalf said before coming in? This forest is shrouded in some dark magic, and there is a curse flowing in the river."

"There are vines over there, we can swing over, it's better to let the light ones go first..."

"No, I don't think it's necessary." Levi interrupted Thorin and said, "We can build a road over there."

As he spoke, Levi took out stones and clacked them along the broken bridge to the opposite side. In order to prevent some dwarves with wider bodies from falling, he also considerately widened the road a few squares.

"It's amazing." Old Balin couldn't help but sigh, and his sleepiness was dispelled by Levi's operation.

"Fortunately, to be honest, I don't want to climb that vine. I don't think it can bear the weight of everyone, especially Bombur."

Bofur echoed, causing Bombur to curl his lips unhappily.

"What a magical magic, it can actually make stones grow on the wooden bridge."

Kili stood on the newly built stone road and stomped his feet several times, only to find that it was very solid.

Fili continued: "How many normal people can hang out with Gandalf? Oh, sorry, I don't mean to belittle..."

Realizing that his words were a bit ambiguous, he quickly explained to Levi.

"It's okay, I understand." Levi patted Fili's shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to care about this little thing.

Unconsciously, the dwarves have regarded Levi as a person like Gandalf, or more specifically, as a person who has a natural leadership position like a wizard.

At the same time, everyone gradually became accustomed to some magical tricks that Levi would come up with from time to time. They had long been accustomed to the fact that food and blocks could be conjured out of thin air. Gandalf could also summon lightning and fire, and blow away a group of goblins with a blast. In terms of magic performance, this old man's magic was much stronger than Levi's, but he didn't use it much.

Speaking of which, even Thorin had the same attitude towards Levi as everyone else.

He would reprimand his companions who made mistakes, and would scold Bilbo when he wanted to go home, but he never used his temper on Levi, just like he never got angry with Gandalf.

As the dwarves said when they talked about Gandalf: "He is a wizard, he can do whatever he wants, you don't care."

They had the same mentality towards Levi, but the difference was that Levi had signed a contract and had the obligation and responsibility to help them.

On the bridge, looking at Levi's back, Thorin nodded, thinking that this person was not hired in vain, he was definitely worth the reward, not only was he powerful, but he could also use some magic like Gandalf, if there was a chance, he should get to know him well.

At the end of the team, Bilbo looked at the cube that Levi conjured out of thin air, and unconsciously touched the ring in his pocket.

'Do I know an invisibility spell? '

The Hobbit thought so.

"Don't waste time, let's hurry through the forest..." Thorin called out.

Not far across the magic river, you can actually reach a place closer to the woodland elves.

But this section of the road is full of dangers, and there are shadows stirring in it.

Levi looked at the spider webs on the tree and resisted the urge to collect some spider silk with scissors or a sword. Those spiders relied on the vibration of the webs to detect prey. If he really did this, there was a high probability that he would immediately attract a large group of spiders.

He didn't care, but the other members of the expedition team were a little confused, especially now that everyone except Levi was in a drowsy state, they were not suitable for fighting now.

hiss--

There was some kind of low hum coming from overhead.

Levi instinctively drew his sword and slashed upwards, and a huge spider corpse fell down, its surface blazing with fire.

[Achievement/title obtained: Spider Killer]

Description: Kill a spider.

"What is this?" Thorin stared suddenly and woke up instantly.

"Spiders, representatives of evil forces, are encroaching on this forest."

Levi explained and asked: "Did any of you encounter the spider web? These spiders will determine the location of their prey based on the vibration of the spider web."

"Cobweb? No, I haven't seen that thing before."

"No, I stayed on the road the whole time and never touched it!"

"Me neither."

"No!"

A group of dwarves turned around and denied again and again.

It was definitely not Bilbo. He had been following Levi, and Levi was watching closely.

"That is to say, this spider actively searched for and launched the attack..."

After picking up the fallen thread and spider eyes, Levi suddenly wanted to take the initiative to find spiders. These were all materials. Without more management, they would not be able to use the enchantment of Looting 3.

"Ready to fight!"

While thinking, Thorin suddenly roared behind him, and everyone immediately picked up their weapons.

Bilbo also drew his dagger and took a look.

"It's not an Oak, that's..."

He raised his head and saw densely packed huge spiders crawling down from the top of the woods. The number was enough to perfectly interpret the term "blocking the sky and blocking out the sun."

"Run!" Seeing that the situation was beyond what he could handle, Thorin shouted Gandalf's favorite line.

"Ahhhhhh-"

Bombur, who was the largest and seemed to have the most flesh, immediately became the first target of the spiders. While shouting, he banged the spiders' heads crazily, smashing each one into pieces.

Levi was naturally one of the first to react. He killed the spider next to him with three or two swords and quickly approached the expedition team. He ran and slashed all the way without stopping. No spider could withstand his sword. .

As the battle progressed, several sets of spider eyes accumulated in the backpack. At this moment, countless spider corpses were piled up behind the expedition team, most of which were burning with fire. At first glance, it looked like someone was using flames to It's like a straight line is drawn here.

Most of the spiders were blocked behind the expedition team. Occasionally, a few scattered ones jumped down from the sky to attack, but they were quickly cleared away by the dwarves.

Poof.

In a panic, even Bilbo pierced the head of a spider. Before the spider died, I don't know if it was an illusion, but Bilbo seemed to hear it talking.

The spider used an onomatopoeia to describe the feeling of being stabbed by a dagger.

"Sting?"

"That's a good name. From now on, this sword will be called Stab Ding."

The spiders died one after another. Seeing that the crisis seemed to be able to be overcome safely, suddenly there were sounds of shuttles in the jungle, and arrows struck one after another from various tricky angles, each of which could accurately hit one. A spider's vitals can be killed with one blow.

Following the arrows were a group of elves wearing dark green robes and armor. They flexibly moved between the branches of the trees, killing the remaining spiders one after another.

However, they did not put away their weapons, but turned their bows and arrows to aim at the expedition team.

"Don't think I won't do anything to you, dwarves, I'd be more than happy to do so."

The leading young elf drew his bow and aimed his arrow at Thorin.

Although he had never seen him before, Levi recognized him at a glance.

That is none other than the Elf Prince of the Black Forest Kingdom: Legolas.

The elves of the Black Forest are not as good-tempered as the elves of Rivendell. Compared to Rivendell, the place where they live is not safe, they often need to fight, and they often trade with humans in the River Valley. All of this makes their character relatively different from Rivendell. Other elves are more open-minded and cantankerous.

Levi put away his sword and took a step forward.

"Don't move!" an elf reminded.

Legolas immediately looked in the direction of Levi and took aim with his bow and arrow. However, when he saw the specific appearance of the person coming, he pressed the bow down and made a gesture to let him aim from behind. The man holding Li Wei also lowered his bow.

"Don't point your bow at him. This is our honored guest."
