Looking at the orcs surrounding them from above and below, it was difficult for the flaming whip to completely block it. As the mountains of corpses piled up around them, the fire on the other side of the square became more intense. The orcs surrounding them started to rush as if they had encountered natural enemies. retreat and evacuate
Without the obstruction of the orcs, everyone ran in the opposite direction of the fire. After all, Gandalf had said that the Balrog came from deep underground and was a demon from the ancient world. He was tall and ignited with fireworks. He was difficult to hurt with ordinary swords. Now everyone Mainly escorting the Lord of the Rings, choosing to avoid
Everyone walked through the square and headed deeper, and came to the excavated stone steps. However, when they saw these broken stone steps, everyone's hearts trembled a little, but there was a tiger behind them, so they could only move forward.
The portal of the dwarves was not big, so the Balrog kept rampaging, causing the entire dungeon to tremble. Seeing this, everyone could only continue walking down. Gandalf didn't know what to do next, so he could only take one step to see. One step away
This time Jiang Hua walked in front, acting as a pioneer, waving his staff at the broken point, and the stone steps changed to connect the two sides. Although there was only a thin layer, it was enough for a few people to pass. At the same time, several long spears were shot from the surrounding stone walls from time to time. Arrow, this is the orcs harassing you again
Legolas was quick-sighted and shot out long arrows one after another. The orcs who were ambushing on the cliff were killed one after another and fell like dumplings. However, Legolas's long arrows were limited and they were quickly exhausted. , Jiang Hua pressed his right hand on Legolas' quiver, and directly used his mental power to inscribe magic. The surrounding stone objects changed into ten long arrows, which flew into the special area of the quiver. He felt the changes behind him, He nodded to Jiang Hua to express his gratitude, and then continued shooting. The long arrow was no different from before.
Without logistical worries, Legolas's firepower was fully unleashed, and his killing speed was faster than before. The arrows he shot turned back into stone after a few minutes. Although there was this drawback, the ten long arrows in the special area were It is inexhaustible and will not affect the storage of ordinary arrows, so when the effect needs to be effective for a long time, just use ordinary arrows.
Jiang Hua was not idle either. The long whip in his hand opened up the incoming arrows, so that everyone would not be in danger, so the speed of his advance did not slow down. However, soon the Balrog broke through the stone wall of the door and chased after him. The rubble was scattered everywhere. When flying, I saw that he was a humanoid figure more than ten meters tall. His slightly longer neck made his head more flexible. The thick long horns on both sides of his head curved to the sides of his cheeks. The flames on his head were terrifying and ferocious. His body was like a cooled rock. On the surface There was faint firelight flowing underneath, and thick smoke billowing around him, like a monster made of magma.
After Jiang Hua and Gandalf broke off, Jiang Hua's fine iron long arrow had no effect on this huge monster at all. Fang Tian's painted halberd was still a bit short for a monster more than ten meters tall, and there was nothing he could do about it for the time being. Of course, in a short period of time, he also figured out this Balrog. In fact, it is not that complicated. The core is the soul and magic. It is similar to Jianghua's secret guard, but much weaker. Of course, this is because of his hidden clumsiness. , this Balrog is Gandalf's favorite, he really depends on it to change from gray robe to white robe.
When he was about to pass a cracked stone bridge, Gandalf walked behind Jiang Hua. Seeing that the Balrog was catching up, Gandalf stopped and used magic to block the stone bridge. The Balrog transformed into a long sword and looked at Gan Dao. In terms of Dolph's magical protection, Gandalf's control as the Servant of the Holy Fire has strong resistance to flames, even dark flames.
Seeing that the sword had no effect, it turned into a flaming whip. When it attacked again, Gandalf directly broke the stone bridge, and the Balrog fell into the rift. However, as a subordinate of Morgoth, the Balrog was not weak in combat. , he pulled a cushion when he fell. Although the flame whip could not hurt Gandalf, it could still be tied up. It directly caught Gandalf and fell. The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Gandalf's voice came from the bottomless rift: "Jiang Hua, take them away, and be sure to take good care of them..."
Gandalf can be regarded as the backbone of this team. Now that he has disappeared or even died, the members of the expedition team are at a loss what to do and are even more uncertain about the next trip. As the most powerful wizard has been sacrificed, what can they do next? It is doubtful whether this arduous task can be accomplished.
Jiang Hua said at this time: "Everyone, please cheer up. The entire Middle-earth continent still needs us to save it. We must continue to complete this mission."
Among the people, it was not Frodo or the others who felt the deepest feelings, but Aragorn and Legolas. But after all, they were very mature and had experienced a lot. They came to their senses after a moment of pain, and stepped forward to drag the four people forward. Okay, Jiang Hua took one look at the abyss and followed it.
This was considered the last level. Everyone walked out of the dwarf's underground kingdom through a stone tunnel and saw the light of day again. However, everyone's heart was very heavy, but they still cheered up and continued to move forward. Jiang Hua comforted everyone: "Maybe Gandalf is not dead yet." , there is hope of living”
Frodo seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately rushed to Jiang Hua, grabbed his hands, and asked sincerely: "Jiang Hua...Jiang Hua, what do you mean by this? Gandalf is still alive, right? Gandalf is a wizard, he has a way to save himself, right..."
Others also looked over hopefully, hoping to get the answer they hoped for from Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua frowned: "Gandalf is a wizard after all, so he probably has a way to save his life. Besides, we didn't see Gandalf being killed with our own eyes. Isn’t it?”
Jiang Hua's half-truths relieved everyone's heavy hearts, but they also worried that Gandalf might still be alive. With Aragorn's persuasion, the four hobbits gave up and went back to rescue, and everyone left this bare place. Stone Mountain, continue to move forward, but everyone is very dejected
I climbed over a mountain and came to the lake. Looking at the withered yellow grassland, I couldn't help but feel even more lonely. I looked at the rising sun and followed the clear and cold river towards the outside of the valley.
For the next day and night, everyone was not very interested in talking. They just lowered their heads and hurried on. Jianghua did not summon wild horses because everyone was walking and most of their luggage was discarded, so there was no need for horses. So why did they summon them, to show off?
After leaving the valley, the grass was already green and lush. Everyone speeded up and headed towards the forest in front. The dwarf Gimli began to popularize legends here: "I heard that there is a witch living in this forest, an elf witch with great magical power. She has She has such powerful magic power that she will be turned to stone just by looking at her, so no one has ever seen her."
The story of Gimli made several hobbits extremely nervous. They were afraid that a witch would suddenly appear and blind them and others. Legolas, Aragorn, and Boromir were not interested in the legend. Jiang Hua could feel it. There was a sense of peeping, and the entire forest was enveloped by a force. Just like in Rivendell, there is obviously a Lord of the Rings here.
Jiang Hua looked around and noticed the surrounding elves monitoring him. Jiang Hua did not remind him and followed everyone silently. Jin Li murmured as he walked, perhaps to cheer himself up: "I will not be easily fooled by her. I have an eagle." Eyes and fox ears…”
But before he could finish speaking, several elves appeared from the side and pointed at them with bows and arrows. The words stopped abruptly. At the same time, more than a dozen elves with bows and arrows appeared around them, pointing arrows at everyone. These elves are not simple, and their actions There was no sound between them, hidden among the trees and jungles
After everyone was controlled, the leader of this group of elves came out with a blond hair shawl. Perhaps he heard the dwarf Gimli's slander against his queen, and said lightly: "This dwarf is breathing so loudly, even in the dark. You can also shoot him."
Aragorn quickly bowed and saluted, and said the purpose of his trip in Elvish language. Just as the elves looked down on the dwarves, the dwarves had no small prejudice against the elves: "Aragorn, this forest is quite dangerous. We should turn around and head towards the forest." It’s better to go back”
The blond elf was very indifferent. Perhaps he had lived too long and experienced too much. His emotions fluctuated very little. He said calmly: "You have entered the realm of the Queen of the Forest. There is no turning back. Let's go. She is waiting for you."
After saying this, the blond elf turned around and led the way forward, not giving everyone a chance to refuse. In their eyes, the Elf Queen is supreme and you have no room to refuse, not to mention there are more than a dozen elf archers around with their bows on alert.
Gimli wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Aragorn. He looked at the people traveling with him and said, "Since we are here, let's go in and take a look. Don't cause too much trouble."
Jiang Hua didn't care, he walked quietly at the end, followed by the elf archers. Along the way, Sam, Pi Rui and Merry thought they were whispering quietly, but they didn't know that their words about the appearance and gender of the elf had already been transmitted. Elf's ears, if he hadn't seen that several of them were guests invited by the Queen, they would have turned into hedgehogs long ago.
Following the elf who led the way, they traveled through the pathless forest for more than two hours. They arrived at the gathering place of the forest elves of Lorien. There were already stone paths, tall and thick trees, and staircases like coiled dragons. Walking between the big trees, there are huts among the branches, decorated with silver lights, which is very beautiful.
The blond elf led the blond elf to a platform to wait. After a while, Celebrimbor and Galadriel came down the stairs. To Jiang Hua, everything seemed natural. These two elves were just noble in temperament, beautiful in appearance, and physically beautiful. Zhou still exudes a calming magic power, but looking at the obsessed expressions of several people around him, Jiang Hua sneered: Brother Zhu is like this
Celebrimbor was the first to speak: "Ten people set out from Rivendell, but now there are only nine. Where is Gandalf? I really hope to talk to him."
Galadriel's arrogant eyes fell on Jiang Hua, because Jiang Hua was the most indifferent among the nine people, giving her an extraordinary feeling. However, as Celebrimbor asked, several people's His mood fluctuated for a while, and he was noticed by Galadriel, who mastered the Ring of Water. He looked away from Jiang Hua, because Galadriel had the ability to see into people's hearts, and said with a hint of sadness: "He fell into the darkness. "This journey of yours is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will fail and the end of the world will come."
Jiang Hua doesn't like Galadriel's eyes very much, because her eyes have the magic power to see into people's hearts, and they also have a sense of superiority. Although she is indeed beautiful, it doesn't make Jiang Hua happy.
"As long as you are united, there is hope. Don't let your hearts be disturbed. Go and rest quickly. You have too much sorrow and fatigue. Have a good sleep tonight." Galadriel finished her words with a godly voice. , and sent everyone to rest. Although he was confused about Jiang Hua’s identity because he couldn’t see through Jiang Hua’s thoughts, he didn’t say anything.
