Bilbo's teeth chattered.

He had never been so scared as he was today.

To be honest, he almost couldn't help but pee his pants.

Fear is an innate human instinct, and this instinct is difficult to suppress.

But fortunately, Xu Feng told him in advance that he would hide aside and protect him secretly.

Bilbo believes in Maple very much, and this trust also gives Bilbo infinite courage.

That's right, to be able to stand in front of Smaug with an invisibility ring is already a lot of courage.

"Hmm......" Smaugo spoke again, "I can feel you, I know you're here, but it's very strange, why can't I see you?" ”

As he spoke, Smaug raised his dragon claws violently.

His dragon claws were wide and his nails were sharp, and a casual stroke was enough to make Bilbo completely unarmed.

Bilbo was startled, and instinctively ducked back.

But then Bilbo regretted it.

If he didn't move anything, even if the dragon claws passed through his body, it wouldn't hurt him, because this invisibility ring was completely invisible, completely out of this real world.

However, he was so frightened that his body was not controlled at all in the face of Smaug's sudden attack.

He took a small step back, and the gold coins rattled under his feet.

"Aha!" This was the opportunity that Smaug was waiting for, and its huge dragon claws slammed down in the direction of the coin!

Rumble!

Whoa!

A large chunk of gold was knocked into the air, and the whole palace trembled slightly.

At this moment, Thorin and the others, who were hiding on the lower floor, immediately became nervous.

They all knew that such a sound meant that Smaug had woken up.

Ori asked in a low voice, "What should I do......"

As the younger generation of Lone Mountain Dwarves, they had never experienced the battle of the dragons, so they were already scared and didn't know what to do just by hearing this sound.

Thorin was also very anxious, and he secretly blamed Bilbo for being so careless and waking up the sleeping dragon, while quickly thinking about how to deal with it.

In fact, before the start of this dwarf expedition, he was already thinking about the situation after entering the palace.

Of course, this also includes the response after waking up Smaug.

This was the one he had decided on after careful consideration, and that was to introduce Smaug to the next level of the dungeon, the foundry.

The whole Lonely Mountain is very large, and on the next floor of them, there is a huge foundry where all the metal is smelted into a hot liquid state.

Although all these years have passed, the smelting plant has ceased to function, but the facilities and materials are there.

Back then, when Smaug attacked the Lonely Mountain, the smelting workshop was preparing to cast a huge golden statue, which was originally used to congratulate the old King Thor on his birthday, but unexpectedly, the golden statue was not completed, and the palace of the Lonely Mountain was occupied by Smaug.

The unfinished gold statue, 50 meters high, was made of pure gold, and the gold water should still be there, as long as the materials were heated, and then Smaug was led to the mold for casting the huge statue, and the hot gold water was submerged in Smaug, it was possible to kill Smaug, and even if it could not be killed, it was enough to restrain Smaug with solidified gold water.

That was Thorin's plan.

He didn't want to start the project unless he had to, because it was a very dangerous thing, and in the process of luring Smaug into the foundry, there might be casualties.

But now the time has come for the last resort, and Thorin must start this plan.

He then turned back to Dvalin and said, "Remember the foundry?" Go open the foundry! ”

Bahrain hurriedly said: "Wait! Thorin! As soon as the foundry opened, it immediately attracted the attention of Smaug! ”

Thorin said coldly: "Smaug has woken up, and it will be a matter of time before he finds us, so it is better to give it a go than to sit and wait for death." ”

The other dwarves nodded.

Dwarin ordered a few people and hurried in the direction of the foundry.

Hammer asked, "What are you going to do with Smaug to bring him to the workshop?" ”

Thorin said in a deep voice, "I know this place, but every path, let me lead it." ”

Hammer nodded, "I'm with you." ”

Thorin hurriedly said, "No. ”

Hammer said coldly, "I'm not doing this for you. ”

Thorin then understood, and said no more.

On the other side of the gold mountain.

Smaug's dragon claw struck down countless gold coins and treasures, but it didn't hurt Bilbo.

The Supreme Ring had deposited Bilbo's body in another world, so no matter how powerful Smaug was, it was impossible to hurt Bilbo.

Bilbo was almost scared to death the moment the dragon's claws fell, but when the dragon's claws fell, Bilbo let out a long sigh of relief.

He was now completely sure that he wouldn't be hurt by Smaug.

As a result, he was not so nervous.

"It's strange...... Smaug couldn't help but mutter, "am I dreaming?" No...... Something does exist here...... I can sense it...... Moreover, I can sense a familiar force...... This kind of power should not be something that mortals can have. ”

Bilbo held his breath.

He knew that the power that Smaug spoke of was the power of the ring he was wearing.

Smaug narrowed his dragon eyes slightly, his spiritual energy converging.

This spiritual energy can echo the dark forces in the Lord of the Rings.

When Smaug's power was condensed to the extreme, Bilbo felt the ring on his hand start to burn, and then a huge eye of doom appeared in his mind.

The pupils of that Doomsday Eye are clearly a soul on fire!

Bilbo's brain suddenly tore through the pain that he couldn't bear, and he hurriedly pulled the ring from his finger.

After taking off the ring, Bilbo's whole body relaxed, and the severe headache disappeared without a trace, but ...... His invisibility was lifted, and his entire body was exposed to Smaug.

Smaug looked at Bilbo with a slightly surprised look.

"What creature are you?"

Neither Hobbit fought in the two centuries, so Smaug never saw a Hobbit, so when he saw Bilbo, he thought he was dazzled.

Bilbo plucked up his courage and said in a trembling voice, "I, I, I'm a hobbit." ”

"The Hobbit?" Smaug frowned, "Is there such a thing in Middle-earth?" Oh good, I've never eaten a hobbit yet. ”
