Lonely mountain.
Inside the underground treasure house.
Bilbo is in the midst of a veritable mountain of gold and a sea of gold, silver, gems, pearls, agates, emeralds and other luxury treasures that he can name and cannot name.
Pick and choose.
"Wow..."
"Wow..."
Stepping on the cold gold and silver coins one by one, the coins immediately made a wonderful clattering sound.
Bilbo casually put down a sapphire in his hand, then picked up a huge ruby and placed it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.
"White and big..."
Whispering about the description of the Arken gem given to him by the white-bearded dwarf Balin, Bilbo looked at the huge ruby in his hand and quickly put it down.
Keep walking on the hills of loose gold and silver coins.
There was a constant splashing sound underfoot.
Soon, Bilbo suddenly saw a beautiful transparent white gem appearing in front of him.
As soon as his eyes lit up, Bilbo immediately stepped forward, picked up this beautiful transparent white gem the size of half an egg, and looked at it.
"Big and white..."
The dwarf Balin's explanation naturally echoed in his mind. The gem in front of him looked clear and transparent, and it was still very beautiful.
But at half the size of an egg, it can't be considered big.
Bilbo muttered secretly, thought carefully, and put down the transparent gem in his hand.
Keep looking.
On the next treasure hunt.
Bilbo saw various gold and silver products, various necklaces, crowns, trophies and other treasures along the way.
Bilbo would also appreciate some treasures that were not gems as long as they caught Bilbo's attention.
This opportunity is rare.
Of course, what he sees most is all kinds of gems.
Bilbo searched and moved forward.
Inadvertently, Bilbo suddenly stood up and turned around, only to realize that he was already deep inside the entire treasure house.
Just standing deep in the treasure house, Bilbo could see more and more clearly how big the entire treasure house was, and the number of various gold and silver treasures was endless.
It can be imagined how difficult it is to find the Arkem gem among such a large number of treasures.
Even if it's big and white.
At this moment, Bilbo's turning eyes suddenly glanced at a white gem the size of a fist appearing in the distance ahead.
Having never sensed danger, and suddenly agitated due to his anxiety, Bilbo seemed to have momentarily forgotten the instructions of the dwarf Balin and immediately ran forward.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Just after running a few steps, the loud splashing sound of gold and silver treasures under his feet immediately woke Bilbo up.
He stopped immediately.
It's just that most of these treasures are made of gold and silver. The metal products are slippery, and the gold and silver treasures are loose.
Bilbo's few steps immediately caused a large amount of gold and silver coins to flow together.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh..."
Gold mountains and silver seas flowed as fast as an avalanche.
Soon, a dark red creature, covered in scales and with huge, tightly closed eyes, that was originally hidden deep inside a large amount of gold coins, was revealed.
Bilbo stared blankly at the huge eye socket that was far larger than his head, and his heart immediately started pounding.
At this moment, he finally remembered what the dwarf Balin had told him: "If you see a living dragon down there, remember not to wake it up."
Bilbo, who woke up instantly, immediately turned around and ran towards the giant stone pillar not far behind him.
Only a dozen steps away from the giant stone pillar, Bilbo quickly hid behind the stone pillar in just one or two breaths.
But the loud noises he made in these dozen steps immediately caused more gold and silver coins to flow together.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh..."
This time the avalanche of gold and silver coins was even more violent than before. A large amount of gold and silver coins flowed down quickly, and more of the dragon buried deep under the gold mountain was exposed.
The eye sockets, nose, mouth, neck, and the entire dragon head were all exposed to the air this time.
Bilbo was breathing heavily behind the giant stone pillar. Even though he had strong curiosity deep down in his heart, he had no intention of turning back and taking another look at the giant dragon.
"The giant dragon hasn't woken up yet. I should leave immediately at this time..."
Bilbo slapped his face, which was numb due to excessive shock, and thought quickly in his mind: "Leave now, yes, that's it..."
Bilbo nodded to himself, raised his feet and walked down.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh..."
This time, more gold and silver coins suddenly flowed into the avalanche, but it had nothing to do with Bilbo.
Because on the other side, Bilbo saw a giant tail covered with scales, extremely thick and barbed, shaking slightly.
"Is it awake yet?"
"It must have woken up!"
Seeing the opponent's tail swinging, Bilbo's heart immediately started to beat wildly.
This time, he didn't dare to move. He didn't dare to move at all.
"puff..."
At this moment, a loud gasping sound came from behind.
Bilbo, who was standing still, suddenly turned around unexpectedly and slowly poked his head outward.
Then, he saw a terrifying pupil that was slowly opening.
"Wow..."
Bilbo immediately retracted his head, stepped back and clung to the giant stone pillar behind him, not daring to move.
It's just too late.
Smaug raised his head and suddenly sniffed the air.
Then the body moved quickly, and the huge, ferocious and terrifying head suddenly reached behind the huge stone pillar where Bilbo was hiding.
However, there was nothing in front of him.
Bilbo panted and squatted under the huge and terrifying head of the evil dragon Smaug in front of him.
Looking at the giant dragon above his head, his heart was beating wildly and uncontrollably.
If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, he would have put on the golden ring he picked up from the tunnel of the Goblin Underground Kingdom.
He must have been discovered by now.
Even so, he hid under the head of the terrifying dragon in front of him.
Bilbo felt his breathing quicken, and he really didn't dare to move now.
"Thief..."
At this moment, sniffing the air, Smaug suddenly said: "I can smell you..."
"I can hear you breathing..."
Smaug said as he slowly stood up, and his huge and ferocious head began to circle around the huge stone pillar in front of him.
Sniffing the smell in the air, Smaug suddenly thrust his head in front of Bilbo, opened his mouth and said, "Where are you?"
"where are you?"
As Smaug spoke, he suddenly opened his teeth, which were as sharp as daggers.
Bilbo looked at the terrifying dragon in front of him and finally couldn't bear it anymore. Not only was there an extremely unpleasant and overwhelming bad breath coming from Smaug's mouth, but also because of the huge danger that was so close at hand.
Bilbo turned around and immediately ran down.
As he ran, the noise he stepped on the treasure immediately made Smaug behind him notice Bilbo.
A thief ceases to be a thief once his trail is exposed.
Looking at the obvious traces along the way.
Smaug grinned, revealing a mouth full of cold fangs, and immediately became excited.
Once the huge body is fully activated, countless gold and silver treasures will immediately fly all over the sky.
Because there are many super giant stone pillars erected in the huge treasure house.
Smaug, who was too big, could only chase the thief in front of him in a swerving manner.
But even so, Smaug's movement speed is still far faster than Bilbo's running speed.
In just a few breaths, Bilbo was forced to hide next to a giant stone pillar again.
Smaug suddenly stopped, raised his head and wandered between several huge stone pillars that were most likely hiding the thief, and said slowly: "Come out."
"Don't be shy..."
"Come to the light..."
"Let me take a good look at you..."
Smaug opened his mouth like a game, stared at the huge golden cold vertical eyes and slowly moved between the giant stone pillars and continued: "I know there is something special about you..."
"You should be carrying something..."
As he spoke, Smaug sniffed the smell in the air, and suddenly his ferocious head slowly approached the giant stone pillar where Bilbo was, and continued: "It is made of gold..."
"But...more...precious!"
As he finished speaking, Smaug's huge head suddenly stopped right above Bilbo looking for the scent.
At this moment, Smaug's words seemed to cause some reaction from the Supreme Lord of the Rings, causing Bilbo's head to suddenly feel extremely painful and he could only take it off.
The moment he took off the One Ring, Bilbo was immediately exposed to Smaug.
"Wow!"
"So you are here..."
Looking at the sudden appearance of Bilbo, Smaug's huge cold vertical pupils immediately lit up. Looking at the small figure in front of him, he continued to speak: "The thief in the shadows."
"No, no!"
Bilbo, who was sweating profusely, looked at the terrifying and ferocious dragon in front of him and gasped, waving his hands and saying, "I'm not here to steal your things."
"Smaug, of unparalleled wealth."
"I just want to see your magnificence with my own eyes and see if you are really as great as the legend..."
Bilbo said quickly, breathing heavily.
Before he finished speaking, Smaug suddenly turned his head, walked quickly to a wider place to the side, stood up straight suddenly, stretched out his huge wings, looked up at the small figure below and said slowly and loudly: "Now, you Do you believe it!?”
A roaring sound like muffled thunder suddenly exploded in Bilbo's ears.
Looking at the huge and terrifying figure like a hill in front of him.
Bilbo suddenly saw a large, white gem that exuded colorful light, half buried in the gold coins under Smaug.
Outside the secret road of Gushan.
Morgan sat on the ground, calmly looking at the hazy crescent moon in the sky.
"It's been so long, will Bilbo be okay?"
At this time, the dwarf Ouli, who was sitting on the stone wall, suddenly spoke.
"It'll be okay, we have to give him time."
After Ori finished speaking, Thorin Oakenshield immediately answered.
The white-bearded Balin, who was sitting next to Morgan and was about to speak, only raised his head and took a deep look at Thorin when he heard Thorin Oakenshield said nothing.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, a violent shaking sensation accompanied by a rumbling sound suddenly came from the secret passage behind.
All the dwarves were surprised and immediately said: "What's going on?"
"Why is it shaking suddenly?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
"And that voice?"
"..."
The dwarves spoke in surprise.
White-bearded Balin stood up slowly at this time, turned around and looked at the dwarves and said slowly: "That movement is the evil dragon."
Bahrain's voice fell.
Morgan immediately turned to look at Thorin Oakenshield not far away.
I saw a trace of panic flash across Thorin's face.
Realizing that Morgan was watching him.
Thorin Oakenshield immediately turned his head.
Morgan had just turned his head and continued to look at the deserted hazy crescent moon in the sky.
The rumbling sound coming from the ground of Gushan affected more than just the recent expedition team.
In Changhu Town.
At this moment, all the residents of Changhu Town who had not yet fallen asleep felt the obvious shock.
Bud's house.
After cleaning up the orc corpses and repairing the door and roof, Bard was eating the midnight snack made by his daughter.
Suddenly, there was a violent shaking under my feet.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of dust quickly fell from above the beams.
Bud's face suddenly became very ugly.
Barn, who was having a midnight snack, quickly looked at his father aside and immediately said, "The noise seems to be coming from Lonely Mountain."
There is an evil dragon in Gushan, this is something everyone in Changhu Town knows.
When Baan mentioned it, her youngest daughter Tilda immediately thought of the giant dragon under the Lonely Mountain, and immediately looked at her father and said, "Are we going to die, Dad?"
Bud looked at his daughter and shook her head with a forced smile: "Of course not."
Tilda continued to worry: "But the dragon will kill us."
After listening to his daughter's words, Bud didn't say anything but stood up and walked to the pillar of the house. He took off the black iron arrow that was hung with dried fish. After taking off the dried fish, he squeezed it tightly and said firmly to his son and daughter: "I'll kill him first." The dragon will be fine!"
Outside the secret passage.
"Roar..."
"Boom..."
Huge rumbling sounds and huge roars continued to come from the secret passage behind him.
The dwarf Bofur finally couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up, looked at everyone and asked, "Here, is Bilbo really okay in there?"
"Do you want us to..."
Before he finished speaking, Thorin Oakenshield immediately said: "No need, we have to trust Bilbo and give him some more time."
"Give him time for what?"
"Killed?"
At this time, Whitebeard Balin's dissatisfaction with Thorin Oakenshield finally broke out, and he looked directly at Thorin and spoke unceremoniously.
It seemed that he did not expect that Balin, who had always been the most supportive of him, would say this about him. Thorin Oakenshield immediately turned his head, looked at Balin and said in a deep voice: "Are you afraid?"
"Yes, I'm scared."
Balin nodded directly and said, quickly stepped forward and pointed at Thorin Oakenshield and said seriously: "I am afraid for you."
"There is disease hidden in that pile of treasures."
"The disease drove your grandfather crazy..."
Before he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Thorin Oakenshield in a deep voice: "I am not my grandfather!"
"Then you're not yourself either!"
The angry Balin did not save face for Thorin Oakenshield this time, and continued to say without mercy: "The Thorin I know will go in without hesitation."
"Instead of letting..."
"I won't sacrifice an entire expedition for a snitch!"
Thorin Oakenshield interrupted Balin again and spoke forcefully.
Seeing Thorin's appearance, Balin shook his head and looked at Thorin. Oakenshield was extremely disappointed and said: "Bilbo, he has a name, his name is Bilbo!"
The atmosphere outside the secret passage became extremely silent due to the fierce quarrel between Balin and Thorin Oakenshield.
"I'm going to go in and take a look now..."
At this moment, Morgan, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and said, "It's not long. Maybe Bilbo has already obtained the Arken Stone?"
Morgan said, his eyes quickly swept across the dwarves present, and finally stopped at Thorin Oakenshield, and continued: "What do you think?"
