Chapter 240 Crazy Bones
"Gandalf!"
An old hobbit rushed out of the door. He threw himself into Gandalf's arms excitedly and embraced him warmly.
"Hey, my dear old friend," Gandalf patted the hobbit's head as if to appease a child, and after he observed his face carefully, he couldn't help being a little surprised, "Bilbo, is it your 111th birthday? "
Bilbo Baggins didn't think much, and said happily, "Well, yes, come in quickly!"
Gandalf raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything, but he was a little bit guilty in his heart: Why does this old boy look like he is seven or eighty years old?
"I have prepared freshly squeezed juice for you. Maybe you want something strong. I have a few cans of old wine that have been preserved for a long time." Bilbo was talking endlessly, as if he hadn't met anyone he wanted to talk to for a long time.
Gandalf walked into the house with his back hunched. The well-connected layout like the Mole's house is full of warmth and security, but it also makes him a little bit unable to use it.
He is a gray-robed wizard who is well-known in Middle-earth. He has traveled all over the world since countless years ago, and has made friends with leaders of various ethnic groups. He can be called the number one social master in Middle-earth.
In fact, Gandalf's true identity is a Maia (second god) from Aman, a servant of Manwe, the king of Valar (God King).
After the Valar defeated Morgoth, Sauron continued to plague Middle-earth.
Manwe sent five Maya, including Gandalf, to guide humans and elves, and guide the natives of Middle-earth to defeat Sauron.
These five Maiyas all transformed their energy spirit bodies into the forms of five old men, which can also be called "the human bodies of gods". Their forms are not limited to humans, and creatures such as tigers and elephants are fine.
Just like many myths and stories, the power of the gods who came to the world on a mission will be greatly restricted and weakened.
The same is true for Gandalf and the others. Not only is the power of magic greatly reduced, but there is also the possibility of being killed. Of course, after death, the spirit will return to Aman and coexist with the world.
"I wrote down that experience, and every time I think about it, I always feel that it is vivid in my mind, but it is like an untouchable dream. At this time, I feel that I am really old..."
At the table full of bread and hot tea, the two sat casually. Most of the time, Bilbo chatted non-stop, while Gandalf was more like a qualified listener, smiling or nodding.
goo goo~
There was the sound of boiling water rolling in the teapot, and the chat between the two had a break.
"Do you remember Smaug, Bilbo?" asked Gandalf knowingly.
"Of course I remember. I was negotiating with it face to face. Luckily I did. Ahem. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been burned to death by it." Bilbo paused for a while, and stretched his right hand unnaturally. Clothes pockets, like children who are afraid of their parents discovering their secrets.
Gandalf frowned slightly, and continued the topic, "It's resurrected."
"Oh, revived~" Bilbo, who was drinking tea, was stunned, and almost spit out after realizing, "What did you just say!"
"Huge white skeletons tore apart the calm waters of Long Lake, hoarse dragon roars resounded through Long Lake Town and River Valley City, and even the lonely mountains in the distance were ready for battle. Just when everyone thought disaster was about to come, the rotting Smaug Behaving strangely and flying to the east. Well, that’s what the bards outside told, and this is the most normal version, of course, I went to the Lonely Mountain myself, and it’s true.” Gandalf said while drinking tea Come on.
Bilbo was stunned for a while, and said in astonishment, "Smaug, it, it? Why, no, why did it come back to life?"
Seeing his appearance, Gandalf couldn't help feeling once again that Shire is a paradise isolated from the world. The hobbits here don't care about world affairs at all, just take care of their own three-acre land and live a carefree life.
It took a long time for Bilbo to accept this outrageous reality. He stared at Gandalf and asked in a low voice, "Is this an ominous omen?"
Gandalf nodded sincerely, "Although I don't know exactly what happened, this drastic change must alert everyone in Middle-earth, and it may be the beginning or harbinger of turmoil."
As the two chatted, the sun rose and the moon rose, and the central garden in Shire town gradually became noisy, and they also got up and went out.
With cheerful music floating, Bilbo's 111th birthday party officially began.
Whizzing!
Clusters of fireworks rose from the ground.
Gandalf bloomed all kinds of magical fireworks for everyone, and the dazzling scenes were comparable to a magical visual feast, until a Smaug dragon firework flew across the sky, and people's passion was completely ignited.
Bilbo also took the podium.
His initial gratitude and emotion were quite normal, which caused everyone to clap their hands and laugh.
But when he took something out of his pocket and hid it behind him, Bilbo's expression became tense and tense, "It's time, I should go everyone."
As soon as the words fell, Bilbo disappeared out of thin air, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"?"
Gandalf tilted his head slightly, realizing that things were not simple.
What Lord of the Rings also has the function of invisibility?
……
at the same time.
In the middle of the night, Ruen was extremely quiet. Even if there were howling winds, howling wolves, and owls, it would only make the atmosphere more terrifying.
At this moment, a group of people were sneaking along the hillside.
"Would it be too reckless for us to rush into the territory of Dongyi barbarians so rashly?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son."
"That's right, if Smaug and the Dongyi people ran into each other, and the two sides would fight each other, we would just take advantage of it! Don't let other people take the opportunity."
"I saw these barbarians from Dongyi and killed them one by one. If it weren't for them, I would be the great count of Rovanian Kingdom now."
They are one of the crusade groups and the first one.
Its composition is very complicated, including experienced mercenaries, snitches trying to become famous, down-and-out nobles trying to stand up, bounty hunters with missions in hand, unscrupulous human toolsmiths, and so on.
There were 13 people in total, ten men of different ages, and three women who knew each other.
But those who have the guts and the ability to get involved in this matter are basically impossible to be as beautiful as a flower. All of them are as burly as a strong man, with machetes or round shields on their backs. Judging by their murderous appearance, they are probably mercenaries.
In fact, the ability of this crusade group to go deep into this place alive is considered to be outstanding.
Half of the people will encounter Dongyi people or Orcs, leave their lives in this barren land, or fight among themselves due to insufficient supplies, and then break up and give up.
"stop."
The leading middle-aged man shouted in a low voice.
He is the leader of the team, named Duane, a well-known bounty hunter in the industry, and the organizer of this team.
"Look at that." Duane pointed to the side hillside.
"What's wrong with the gully in the rock and soil?" Someone asked in confusion.
The eldest of the three sisters took a closer look, then turned her head to look back at the night sky, "It seems that something fell from the sky and knocked out an irregular depression in the rock formation."
"It's so huge, it must be Smaug, we must be more careful." Duane told everyone.
Then, they continued to climb from the hidden side to the top of the mountain.
Until the bright moon gradually covered the figure, a touch of pure white lay across the far east.
Thirteen heads poked out from behind the rock, overlooking the sunny side of the mountain.
In an instant, they seemed to have also turned into dull stones, staring straight at the vast wasteland below.
Under the faint light of the rising sun, the battered ground was covered with numerous corpses, and a burnt city was like a withered flower cluster, lifeless.
Many Dongyi people with different death patterns were lying in the mud all over the place. The scene was so quiet that they seemed to be simply asleep.
"Goo~~~"
The 13 people swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison, trying their best to suppress the groans stuck in the root of their throats.
Because their eyes silently turned to a mountain of bones in the distance.
And that mountain is exactly the skeletal dragon with its wings closed and its head and tail entrenched!
Obviously, this is a one-sided battle.
At this moment, Duan and the others realized that even if the flesh and internal organs were removed, the strength of the giant dragon with only bones left should not be underestimated, even though the bones also had many scars.
At least two-thirds of the people wanted to retreat, and were instantly overwhelmed by the dormant Chu Xin, and they were filled with fear for a while.
"What should we do?" the down-and-out nobleman trembled.
"This tribe seems to be considered very strong among the Dongyi people. Even if they are wiped out, how many of us are there?" The three sisters also felt helpless.
The power of human beings has its limit. It is respectable to have the courage to slay a dragon, and it is also understandable to run away.
Duan was silent for a moment, and lay down with his back to the rock. "For now, don't act rashly. Smaug wiped out the entire tribe of the Dongyi people. He is bound to make enemies with the entire Dongyi barbarian tribe. We have to wait for the perfect opportunity."
thousands of meters away.
"Hu~~"
Chu Xin flicked the tip of his tail comfortably.
He is looking at the card text in his mind:
"Perfectly use the skeleton body to fight, and use the skeleton flames, bone claws, and bone blades to defeat the enemy army surrounded by wolves in one fell swoop;
Through this formal fierce battle, I have a comprehensive understanding of my own strengths and weaknesses;
Proficiency +15%, reaching 15%;
Earn rewards:
The hardness and toughness of the joints of the whole body are strengthened;
[Bone Arrow Storm] (Bone arrows made from smashed bones can be fired from the wings and tail. The number and scale can be adjusted by yourself. The consumed bones will gradually regenerate to ensure the integrity of the body. Remember not to shoot indiscriminately to prevent the body was hollowed out). "
Chu Xin subconsciously looked back at his torso, the thick spine and leg bones were connected with many fine bones.
Whoosh!
He flicked the tip of his tail lightly, an insignificant small bone spur splashed out, and instantly sank into the huge rock.
In the original position of the bone spur, tiny bone buds grew very slowly.
In Chu Xin's eyes, this regeneration speed is undoubtedly as slow as a snail.
Obviously, you must be restrained in using this skill, otherwise the tail and wings will be shot out as hidden weapons, and you won't become a real lizard skeleton?
But in this low-magic Middle-earth continent, that's enough. I can crush a large number of enemies with just a carp and a donkey rolling, and I am invincible on the battlefield.
Of course, Chu Xin was not arrogant because of this.
Because in the west of Middle-earth, there is a smaller land above the sea, called Aman Island.
Although the gods living there are isolated from the world, what if they turn their heads against themselves?
To sum up, it has to be a principle that has been practiced for a long time: be rough and steady!
Then, Chu Xin turned on the gashapon machine.
There are still 3 chances left.
Twist your hair first.
Kaka!
The gashapon in the machine cover rolled over, and one of them rolled out dripping and unscrewed automatically.
Guaranteed accumulated times: 1
"[Bone scales] (body alienation: a layer of finely overlapping bony spurs grows on the surface of each bone, like scales, which can enhance the defense, and can also explode one after another, turning into sharp spines)"
rustle~
The sun was already shining high, and the ground gradually trembled strangely, and it became more and more intense.
A black line appeared in the east, and a cold metallic luster appeared in the distance.
Whoosh!
In the next second, countless feathered arrows covered the sky, and the arrows were burning with flames.
At the same time, behind the Dongyi army, a woman sitting cross-legged on a chariot blew a flute-like instrument.
On the surface of the body, there are mysterious runes like bronzing, which seem to contain some kind of magic power.
As the sound spread, ugly strange birds flew up from the forest and flew towards Chu Xin's head.
There were cans of viscous crude oil tied to their feet, and when they approached, they swooped down fearlessly, turning into a sea of flames together with the arrow rain, igniting Chuxin and the surrounding wilderness.
In order to fight against Chu Xin, some mysterious Dongyi tribes also took action, fearing that he would continue to go deep into Loen and start a killing spree. Of course, Sauron's order was indispensable.
Boom~
Chu Xin's body was also splashed with rich oil, and a little spark quickly turned him into a burning skeleton, blending with the surrounding flames into a painting style.
But this level of high temperature is a joke to him, at most it will put a layer of flaming cassock on him, adding to his appearance.
However, just when Chu Xin was about to take off, a sudden change occurred.
Rumble!
The more violent and terrifying earthquake caused bumps in all directions, and countless rubble began to bounce around in place.
bang——
In an instant, the ground around Chu Xin exploded, and the earth and rocks sunk downward.
One after another giant shadows broke through the ground, exposing their thick and long bodies to the air.
Like the mouth of a meat grinder opened, the sharp teeth were extremely ferocious, and the depths of the smelly mouth were pitch black.
Three giant earth-boring worms named "Sandworms" make their debut!
They are like a shield machine, they easily shuttle under the ground, and the hard rock is like a block of tofu, and then kill Chu Xin by surprise.
bang bang~
As soon as the sandworms appeared, they turned into three ropes intertwined with each other, and the exposed bodies were knotted one by one regardless of each other, and the center of the intersection was Chu Xin who was forced to be imprisoned.
His back and wings were the parts that were specially targeted, and his wings were strangled into two bundles, unable to flap and fly.
The three-headed sandworm even expanded its mouth to a terrifying extent, trying to swallow Chu Xin's corpse.
This is not over yet.
Some orc orcs emerged down the tunnels carved by the sandworms.
The point is, they drove more than a dozen trolls who were more than ten meters tall and of varying physiques!
This is a huge creature with low IQ, but its advantage is that it is easy to control, has rough skin and thick flesh, and is full of brute force.
Moreover, under the wisdom of Sauron, the trolls were divided into different arms, which played an extremely important role in the wars for thousands of years, making human beings frightened.
At this moment, there are three kinds of trolls outflanking Chu Xin.
One is the catapult trolls, who have huge catapults tied to their shoulders and backs, and can fly boulders hundreds of meters away by pulling the mechanical arm with both arms.
The second is the chain hammer troll. As the name suggests, their two forearms were cut off and replaced with two heavy iron chain hammers, and their eyes were also poked blind, and the two chains were deeply embedded in the eye sockets. The driver sitting on the neck controls, and the Orcs rely on the pull of the left and right hands to adjust the troll's forward direction and attack angle.
The third is the heavy shield trolls. Their characters are more docile and honest in comparison, and they don't need Orcs to deliberately control them. Therefore, they firmly nailed the eight-meter-high thick iron shields to the outside of their arms and acted as damage-resistant tanks. .
Boom!
The heavy shield troll smashed its shield to the ground, forming a defensive formation, protecting the sling troll behind it.
And the Orcs drove the hammer troll forward bravely, attacking from the gap exposed by the sandworm, and swung ferociously at Chu Xin's relatively fragile wings and ribs.
Chu Xin will not sit still.
He twisted his whole body with all his strength, and every joint made an ear-splitting crisp sound.
Suddenly, he bloomed all the restrained bone scales, and with his violent movements, he left a large number of bloody and fine wounds on the abdomen of the three-headed sandworm in an instant.
"Hiss~houhou~"
Sandworm was in pain and wanted to escape subconsciously, but when he thought of Sauron's terrifying coercion, he immediately tied up Chu Xin with greater brute force.
Seeing that Chu Xin was so fierce that it was difficult to suppress, the stone-throwing troll came into battle, smashing sharp-edged rocks one by one.
boom!
Chu Xin's protruding forehead was smashed straight, and then, more stones hit his body like a landslide.
In such a serious situation, there is no need to hide.
rustling!
The long tail drilled out of the gap flicked vigorously, and more than a dozen small but sharp bones were separated. Under the effect of the skill Bone Arrow Storm, they flew out like an arrow from the string.
puff puff~
In one encounter, five bone arrows pierced into the Hammer Troll's body, one was killed by a headshot, the other was killed by a piercing through the heart, and the remaining three also suffered penetrating injuries and fell to the ground.
The other ten bone arrows flew towards the location of the stone throwing troll.
Keng~Keng Keng!
The heavy-shield troll in the front row reacted quickly, immediately set up the shield wall, and used his body to block the gap between them.
The moment the two sides collided, the sound of gold and iron was sharp and piercing.
But the hardness of the giant dragon bone is not bad, and coupled with its fast speed, it pierced through the heavy shield neatly, and the violent impact made the four trolls stagger and fall back.
The shield wall crumbles.
But the second round of the stone-throwing troll was also completed, and many boulders flew towards Chu Xin again.
At the same time, the bone arrows that followed hit the sling trolls one after another, and each huge body fell down, and the flimsy sling device disintegrated.
"Roar--"
Before the boulder fell, Chu Xin let out a skeletal flame with a long roar.
This time, no matter how tenacious Ren Sandworms were, they were scorched by the high temperature and wailed again and again, and they also shifted the focus of their strength during their struggle.
Chu Xin took the opportunity to use his strength, stepped on a sandworm with his legs, and jumped up. With the help of this force, his wings flapped, just passing the flying boulder, and jumped into the air.
puff puff!
Almost all the boulders hit a sandworm whose back was facing away, and the hit surface was immediately pitted and bloody.
Chu Xin grabbed a sandworm with both claws neatly, and dragged its lengthy body from the ground completely. Its length reached an astonishing hundreds of meters, and its weight made Chu Xin feel a little strenuous.
He broke into the trolls with the burning sandworm, defeated all the trolls in one fell swoop, and then crushed the fleeing Orcs in a state of exploding scales. After continuous dives and collisions, only wailing and meat sauce .
The wild and frightening posture is like a death bone lotus blooming in the sky!
This kind of madness made the Dongyi people in the distance tear their hearts apart. Even though they had experienced many battles and were ruthless, they couldn't help but feel fear from the bottom of their hearts at this moment.
They have never seen such a crazy and incisive fighting. The violence, wildness and blood go deep into the soul, which is enough to make everyone dream back in the middle of the night and wake up in sweat.
"Smaug, you are going to be completely hostile to the Lord Demon Lord!"
At this time, a tall orc wearing fine armor asked sharply. At 1.6 meters, he was obviously an officer.
Chu Xin looked down at him coldly, and said in a low voice, "Tell Sauron, since you want to be my enemy, then show the momentum you should have. If you only have this ability, I will crush Mordor sooner or later. Not the ridiculous Smaug he once was."
The tone is flat, not angry and pretentious, as if telling a fait accompli fact.
"Arrogance! You'll regret your arrogance!" Cursed the Orc officer, turning and slipping into the burrow.
Chu Xin did not pursue him. He really needed someone to go back and report the news. Only in this way can he make his life in Middle-earth more colorful.
Soon, there were no orcs, trolls, and sandworms left, and they all became good fertilizers for this wasteland.
When Chu Xin cast his eyes on the Dongyi people in the distance, the naked eyes could see that more than 1000 people took two steps back in unison, and they could feel their fear from a distance without looking or listening.
Size, species, and expressiveness are all insurmountable gaps. Humans without superpowers can't make up the gap except for wisdom and crowd tactics.
wow wow wow~
The Dongyi people began to withdraw their troops, turning their heads and running away in a panic, seemingly orderly.
But how could Chu Xin give up on this?
call!
He fluttered his wings and flew high, gushing out skeletal flames, taking advantage of the victory and chasing after him.
On the mountain behind them, Duan and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, laughing at themselves for their initial self-confidence.
"Heh, we actually want to kill it?"
"One sandworm is enough to make us choke, isn't Smaug too exaggerated? Only bones can kill an orc, a dozen trolls."
"But who is the Demon Lord Sauron they mentioned just now?"
"That's a legendary demon king." Duane knew some real history, but he didn't say much.
He glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and became vigilant.
Everyone noticed and looked to the right side along the line of sight.
On a boulder 500 meters away, a figure shrouded in a cloak stands proudly, overlooking the battlefield motionless.
……
Charles at the same time.
The yard door of Bilbo's house opened of its own accord, followed by the opening and closing of the house door.
hum~
Bilbo's figure appeared out of nowhere.
And all he did was remove a plain gold ring from his finger.
However, when he looked up, he saw Gandalf waiting inside the house.
"The Lord of the Rings is not for you to use like this, don't treat them as a child's play." Gandalf reminded aloud.
Bilbo walked into the house on his own, and began to pack up the things he had prepared, apparently to fulfill his promise to "leave".
He was tired of the boring days of Shire, and planned to go to the magnificent and beautiful Rivendell (Rendale), which was the territory of the elves, and the lord Elrond had invited Bilbo.
"Have you resolved to give the Ring to your nephew Frodo?" asked Gandalf.
"Of course, Frodo is my dearest person, and I have put the Ring in the envelope," said Bilbo frankly.
But when he touched it, he was surprised to find that the ring was still in his pocket, and he instinctively held it tightly, unwilling to take it out, let alone give it away.
Soon, Bilbo's expression became ferocious and distorted, and he hissed like an evil spirit, "No, no, no one can take it away from me. It belongs to me alone, and no one can." Gandalf, you covet it? You can't take it!"
Gandalf immediately sensed that the power of the Lord of the Rings was affecting Bilbo. He slammed his wand on the ground, and the lights in the room suddenly became dim, and wisps of air swept across the table, blowing the paper rolls on the table.
"Don't think of me as a charlatan playing tricks, I don't want to steal your things, sober up Bilbo!" Gandalf's voice was as loud as hitting a bronze bell, and Bilbo immediately curled up in a corner and trembled, His eyes also returned to their former clarity.
After waking up, Bilbo was weak and helpless, but he still took a deep breath, embraced Gandalf, and then pushed the door out facing the rising sun, and reluctantly threw the Lord of the Rings on the floor, and also took the initiative to cut off the ring. The invisible link between the two.
For the Lord of the Rings, this 60-year captivity is finally over.
"Ok?"
Gandalf looked suspiciously at the plain single-circle ring at his feet, combined with Bilbo's strangeness, he had a bold and bad guess in his mind.
So, he stretched out his hand cautiously.
hum!
The moment the fingertip just touched it, a huge burning red giant eye appeared in his mind, filled with huge evil magic power, and launched a violent impact on Gandalf's spiritual world.
The panic-stricken Gandalf quickly threw it down, muttering to himself, "Is it really the Lord of the Rings? Bilbo, you have been fine for more than 60 years. It's really amazing... The skeletal dragon has recovered, the Lord of the Rings In this world, Sauron, after thousands of years, are you coming to Middle Earth again~"
But he didn't dare to rashly confirm that the one in front of him was the Supreme Ring King who controlled the rings. After all, it had disappeared from people's sight since the Second Era.
"It still needs to be confirmed, this matter cannot be neglected." Gandalf murmured.
jingle!
At this moment, Frodo pushed the door anxiously and entered.
His huge foot just stepped on the ring, and he picked it up calmly, and handed it to the surprised Gandalf as some ordinary object.
Seeing that Frodo has not suffered the slightest spiritual erosion, Gandalf once again marveled at the excellent magic resistance talent of the Baggins family.
If it were someone else, from the moment they saw the Supreme Lord of the Rings, their spirit and even their soul would be tightly grasped, making it difficult for people to break free, until they touched it with their bodies and completely became slaves of the Lord of the Rings.
The Lord of the Rings contains Sauron's incomparable magical power, possesses indescribable consciousness and wisdom, and is good at bewitching people's hearts and destroying humanity.
But the huge power stored inside can only be used by Sauron, which can assist him to reshape a complete and powerful entity in Middle-earth. After wearing it, others will be invisible like Bilbo at most, and then become spiritual slaves.
"Your uncle left Bag End to you, including this ring," Gandalf urged. "Remember, you must not wear this ring under any circumstances! Remember no matter what!"
After finishing speaking, he ignored the hundred thousand reasons that Frodo blurted out, and hurried out of the door, "I need to confirm some conjectures, you must keep the ring well during my absence, and don't let anyone touch it. "
Though Frodo saw nothing special about the Ring, he wrapped it up, out of trust in Gandalf, and hid it under a floor tile.
