Four hundred and eighty-four, a small river in the forest

With the help of Zhu Linglu, the adventuring team also tried to hunt in the woods, but also caught a few black squirrels.

But when everyone roasted the squirrel and ate it, they found that the taste was terrible, and they couldn't swallow it at all.

At the beginning, the food provided by Bion for the adventuring party lasted about ten days.

It had been almost four days before leaving the hut and entering the dark forest, although the dwarves had also hunted some hares and the like to supplement their food, thus keeping more of the food that Bion had provided.

But now after entering the dark forest, almost five days have passed, so the food is naturally getting less and less.

And in the dark forest, there is almost nothing edible to replenish, even if Bion once said that he can hunt in the forest, but from the current actual situation, many animals and plants in the forest are eroded by dark energy, so they are inedible.

In addition, the existence of Zhu Linglu is also a loss, and the adventure team does not have to worry about the problem of water sources, even if they fail to encounter springs and rivers in the forest, Zhu Linglu can also make water out of thin air to meet everyone's needs.

This time, Zhu Linglu did not accompany the dwarves and hobbits to starve, in addition to providing them with drinking water, when Zhu Linglu led the way in front, he also secretly ate some dried meat or something to satisfy his hunger.

Anyway, the dwarves and hobbits behind him were basically hurrying with their heads down, and they couldn't see what Zhu Linglu was doing in front of them.

Of course, Zhu Linglu also used the excuse that he was a wizard, and sometimes he could skip food, and gave the rations originally given to him to the dwarves and hobbits, which can be regarded as Zhu Linglu's dedication to them.

However, on the bright side, the food is indeed becoming less and less.

Of course, unlike the dwarves and hobbits who felt about the dark and dense forest, Zhu Linglu naturally had his own understanding of this forest.

The dark forest was indeed shrouded in darkness, as the brown-robed wizard Radagast and the skin-changer Bion had said. In Zhu Linglu's own perception, this forest is filled with a strong dark energy.

Therefore, even Zhu Linglu's spiritual power detection was suppressed within a hundred meters of the surroundings, and if he wanted to forcibly detect a farther area, it would consume more of Zhu Linglu's spiritual power and be more disturbed.

In addition, it is precisely because the forest is filled with rich dark energy that there are those strange moths, bats and other dark creatures, and there are even Ugolian spiders entrenched in the forest.

It is precisely because of this that there are no edible plants and animals in the forest.

And when he was camping for the night at night, Zhu Linglu's spiritual power did feel the hidden Ugolian spiders crawling in the surrounding woods.

They don't seem to be really a huge genre yet, though. And most of the time they just hide in the cobwebs they weave, waiting for moths, bats, and the like to crash into the web.

In addition, Zhu Linglu also found that the main object of these spiders is actually butterflies flying in the canopy of the dark forest.

Therefore, the cobwebs seen by dwarves and hobbits around the dense forest trails are actually nothing, and the cobwebs in the canopy area of the dark jungle are even denser and layered.

According to the original plot, it is likely that these Ugolian spiders were bred in Dolgodo, and then spread from the southern part of the Dark Forest to the kingdom of the northern woodland elves.

These Ugolian spiders have built their nests in several places in the dark jungle as a base for their invasion of the forest, and in the original plot, the dwarves and hobbits also left the jungle path on their own. Broke into a spider's nest.

Later, if it weren't for Bilbo's stabbing needle cutting open the cocoon's cocoon, killing a Ugolyan spider, and then using the One Ring to stealth and save the other dwarves. I happened to meet the woodland elves to clear these spiders, and I didn't know what would happen.

But now that Zhu Linglu felt that he was leading the adventuring team, these dwarves and hobbits should not have any more accidents.

And although the road is winding, this dense forest path can still rely on the paved stones on the road. If you find the right way to the trail, it is unlikely that you will leave the trail.

However, the development of the subsequent events is often beyond expectations.

In the dark forest, it was the morning of the sixth day. The trail in the woods was blocked by a rushing river.

The river is not very wide, about three or four meters, but the current is extremely fast, and I don't know what color the river is, at least in the forest, it looks dark.

At the same time, there seems to be a layer of white mist on the surface of the river, and the mist is not very high, just about a meter above the water surface.

There used to be a wooden bridge over the river, but now it looks as if it has rotted and fallen into the water, leaving only broken pillars on both sides.

However, there are still a lot of thick vines hanging down from the trees on both sides of the river, and it seems that they can still climb through these vines to climb across the river.

It's just that Zhu Linglu thought of what happened in the original plot, and he wasn't ready to let these dwarves and hobbits do it.

In the original plot, not only did the fattest dwarf Bombo fall into the river and suck in the fog and fall unconscious, but the other dwarves and hobbits seemed to be dizzy and confused by the mist.

Therefore, Zhu Linglu also specially used spiritual power to probe the mist on the surface of the river, and sure enough, a complex energy based on dark energy was also found in this mist.

At the same time, there seems to be any special powder particles in the water mist, and it is not known whether it is pollen or other dust.

Zhu Linglu suspected that the dust was the main reason why the dwarves and hobbits became confused.

But just as Zhu Linglu was thinking, Bilbo was already trying to pull the vines over there, and his bare feet were ready to climb up the vines, while the dwarves were still talking about it.

"We can try to swim through!"

"Didn't you hear what Gandalf and Bion said? Dark spells envelop this forest, and the water in the creek has magical power! ”

"I don't see any magic."

"We have to find another way to cross the river!"

"These rattans look sturdy enough, let's let the Snitch try them first!"

Thorin made his decision as he watched Bilbo pull the vine and try to climb it, and then prepared to officially assign Bilbo to climb the vine to cross the river.

"Hey, wait, wait, everyone, have you forgotten that there is still me as a wizard, I won't let you do such a dangerous thing, okay, okay, the problem of crossing the river will be left to me!"

Zhu Linglu hurriedly stopped the movements of the dwarves and hobbits...... (To be continued......)
