"Of course, ladies and gentlemen, we also have our important mission, to go to the Lonely Mountain, to find the Dwarven Treasure, and then re-establish Thorin as the king of the kingdom under the mountain, I am honored to continue this adventure!"

Zhu Linglu looked at the dwarves and hobbits and re-energized them.

Listening to Zhu Linglu's words, Suorin couldn't help but look up at Zhu Linglu, his face was still a little tense at first, but thinking that Zhu Linglu had saved himself in the Misty Mountains before, Sorin's expression finally eased a little.

"Come, we must enter the Lonely Mountain on the day of Turin, before the sun sets! If you are willing to help us, my promise to you will not change! ”

"Don't worry, unlike Gandalf, I'm genuinely interested in this adventure, and I'll be with you to the end! So, let's get into this forest! Now this forest also intrigues me! ”

When Zhu Linglu was in Gandalf's presence before, he was basically hiding behind Gandalf like a shadow, but now that Gandalf is gone, he, as the only wizard in the team, naturally has more right to speak.

But what Zhu Linglu didn't say was that, yes, I was definitely interested in the Akon gem.

At the moment, everyone carried heavy backpacks and skins containing drinking water, leaving the light of the outside world and diving headlong into the dark forest.

The entrance to this jungle path is two large trees leaning against each other, leaving a hole in the middle to enter, which looks like an arch leading to some tunnel.

The path through the dense forest is also very narrow, and you can only wind between the trees.

There were too many parasitic vines and mosses hanging from the trees on both sides of the road, and the canopies on top of them were clustered together, making it difficult for the outside sky light to shine in, causing everything around to look dark.

Zhu Linglu walked in the front, using an ordinary long sword to tap the hanging vines and forked branches in front, and followed the path paved with rocks on the ground. It's the only safe route you can find on this jungle trail.

The dwarves and hobbits behind them only followed behind Zhu Linglu, walking silently in a row.

Soon the light at the entrance to the dense forest path seemed to be the afterglow in the distance, and the dead silence of the surrounding woodland made the footsteps of the adventuring party seem to be the only sound in the forest.

As their eyes adjusted to the dim light of the forest, the dwarves and hobbits were finally able to see the forest.

During the day, there are still some places in the forest where there is still a faint amount of sunlight, and the light shines through the dense foliage and tangled branches in the canopy above, allowing for some faint light in the woods.

But that doesn't bring more life to the woodlands. It can only make the adventurers barely see the road under their feet.

The night in the forest is the worst time, and the surroundings will become pitch black, which is not the pitch black that most people imagine, it is definitely the darkness that you can't see your fingers.

Well, it's not an accurate description to say that it's completely invisible, because the adventurers can still see the darkness of the forest around them, and there seem to be countless eyes.

Sometimes it seems that yellow, green, or red eyes will stare at them from a short distance. Then the light will slowly dim and come back on from not far away.

Sometimes, these rays of light shine among the branches above their heads, which is the most frightening sight. It was as if something was spying on them.

Although the weather was not very cold, everyone would try to make a fire at night in the hope of removing the darkness in the forest, but soon everyone gave up again.

This kindled a flame. It will attract hundreds, if not thousands, of bulging eyes to come closer, making everyone feel a sense of crisis.

But if you want to find the owner of these eyes by the light of the flames, it is difficult to find any trace around.

Worse. The flames also attract countless black and dark green moths, some of which are the size of a hand, and they are constantly flying around everyone's heads and ears, which is really unbearable.

Other huge bats will also be attracted by the flames, and they will be so black that they will float around like black top hats, but they don't know if they will suck the blood of the living.

In the end, the members of the adventure team had no choice but to give up the flames and let the darkness engulf them, at least so that people could sleep peacefully and ensure their strength to continue the journey the next day.

As a result, the members of the adventure party soon developed a strong sense of disgust for this forest, just as they hated the goblin tunnels in the caves in the belly of the Misty Mountains.

Everything you see in this forest will make people feel a sense of discouragement inexplicably.

As the adventuring party walked along the forest trails, they could hear many strange sounds from the surrounding trees, such as muffled grunts, scratching, and rolling sounds.

The sound would expand all the way to the tall piles of rotting leaves on the ground, but no one could see what was making the strange noise.

In addition, the most disgusting thing that can be seen in the woods is cobwebs.

These dense cobwebs, with their particularly thick silk, tend to stretch from tree to tree or hang from trees on both sides of the road.

However, there weren't any cobwebs hanging in the middle of the road, and I don't know if it was due to some kind of magic that cleared them, or if there was some reason they couldn't figure out.

And the existence of these cobwebs also made the members of the adventure team realize that the eyes they saw at night were probably spiders hiding in the forest.

Zhu Linglu also reminded the dwarves and hobbits that there were Ugolian spiders in the forest, which were extremely large spiders, and asked the dwarves and hobbits not to touch the spider webs easily, so as not to attract spider attacks.

This made the dwarves and hobbits finally a little more careful than in the original plot, of course, with the presence of Zhu Linglu, it was difficult for these spiders to sneak up on the adventure team.

In addition, there was no movement of air in this forest, and it seemed to be in a dark, suffocating state forever, which even dwarves accustomed to living in underground tunnels that did not see the light of day could feel this oppressive feeling.

As for Bilbo the hobbit, he missed the sun or the sky even more, and longed for the cool breeze on his face, and Bilbo had complained countless times that he was about to suffocate in the forest.

At the same time, because they didn't know how long they would have to walk in the dark forest, the adventuring party also began to strictly control the food.

There is no way, whether it is Zhu Linglu, Bilbo, or those dwarves, they actually belong to the type of big stomach king, if everyone is allowed to let go of their stomachs to eat, I am afraid that the food prepared for them by Bion will soon run out.

In fact, the amount of food is now somewhat insufficient...... (To be continued......)
