The Journey of the Demon Hunter

After the gray wolf threw down the enemy, he turned to the hobbit. Meili turned around and wanted to run, but was bitten by the hem of his cloak and dragged towards the forest. The tenacity of the elven cloak made it difficult for Meri to get rid of, and the hobbit disappeared into the shadow of the forest screaming

"Merry!"

Pipin yelled, he got up and chased into the forest without hesitation.

At this time, the remaining orcs finally recovered from the sudden attack just now.

"What is that!"

The broken-arm orc shrank his neck, as if it was the person the gray wolf had just bitten.

"Don't worry, catch up!" Another strong orc yelled and raised his weapon: "Otherwise Saruman won't let any of you go!"

As a result, all the orcs raised their weapons, put aside their differences, and rushed into the shadowy Fargon Forest together.

The 2437th Chapter Fargong Forest

"Merry!"

Pipin's hands were tied, but the hobbit dexterously jumped over the tall tree roots, and the orcs behind them chased him. They don’t know why a wolf suddenly rushed out of the forest, but the strong orcs here knew that if the two hobbits disappeared here, whether they died or disappeared, they did not send them to Saruman. In front of him, the white-robed wizard would never let off any subordinates who disappointed him. For the recruited half-orcs, these are two pieces of meat that can fill their stomachs.

"Merry!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Pi Pin's scream echoed in the dark woodland, farther and farther.

"Grab it!"

"Don't let it run!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The roar of the orcs from behind followed closely, and Pipin listened to the increasingly noisy yells behind, and his footsteps were quicker. As he ran, he wanted to untie the rope on his wrist. But the ropes were so tight that they couldn't break free.

The roots of the trees in the Fargon Forest are very large and curved, and the junction of the roots and the smooth trunks is higher than that of the hobbit. The towering tree canopy replaces the sky, and the woods on the edge are denser than elsewhere. The ground was covered with rotting leaves, like a carpet woven from leaves.

Pipin ran continuously, following Meili's voice, but his running speed couldn't keep up with the scream that was about to disappear into the shadows. He could only run forward without stopping, trying to open his eyes wide, trying to see the situation clearly, and see where the monster who captured Meili went. The wolf, all he can think of is this word. He has never seen a wolf, but the hobbits of his generation have almost heard the story of Bilbo, the war between the elves of the north and the orcs, the dwarves and the wolf. Those fierce wolves are the accomplices of the orcs, what Eat all, not afraid of anything except flames.

"Flame..." Pi Pin panted, and glanced around: "Flame! Meri! Can you hear me!?"

The hobbit's cries echoed in the gloomy forest.

Suddenly, Pi Pin stopped.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and he could clearly hear the sound of the fallen leaves rubbing against the soil when he stepped on them.

He has been running, chasing the screams in front of him, avoiding the roar behind him, he is thinking about how to untie the rope of his wrist, and how to rescue his friend when he catches up, and escape from the orc. He kept thinking about these things, but when he ran to a clearing to recover, he realized that, at some point, he could no longer hear the orcs yelling behind him. The scream of Meili in front also disappeared into the boundless darkness.

Pipin bent down and looked around. The tree trunks were heavily shadowed. A little moonlight passed through the branches between the branches. The thick shadows behind the low shrubs blocked the grass. The wind seemed to be difficult to blow into this woodland.

The hobbit quickly hid behind a tree. Leaning against the tree trunk, he held his breath, as if worried that the sound of his breathing would break the unbearable silence.

"Merry?" He lowered his voice and whispered: "Merry, are you here?"

There is no answer around.

Pi Pin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a few seconds, he clenched his fists hard, ready to bend down to find a sharp stone to cut the rope in his hand.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that a ring of vines appeared around his waist, which tied him to a tree like a rope.

"Huh?"

The Hobbit shook his body vigorously, but the vines tightened, making it difficult for him to move.

At this moment, heavy breathing sounded from the bushes in front of him. Pi Pin raised his head, just in time to see the gray wolf who had taken Meili pacing and walked to the clearing, staring at it with white eyes. The gray wolf's legs are decorated with crimson patterns, and the height is almost higher than the top of Pipin's head.

Pi Pin swallowed and stared motionlessly at the gray wolf walking towards him. When he was only a few meters away, he closed his eyes, as if he didn't dare to see what might happen next.

"If you continue to struggle, this vine will directly tighten your skin." A slightly familiar voice came into the ear. Pi Pin was stunned for a moment and slowly opened his eyes: "These are the seeds I left on you just now. I thought they would attack you directly. This kind of thing can hang you to a tree, but you entered and ran in. Elune is here, are you here to chase your friend?"

The gray wolf disappeared, Xisali's figure stood in front of Pipin, she stretched out her cane and knocked on the vine, the vine shrank instantly and fell to the ground.

"I know you." Pipin raised his tied hands: "I saw you in Rivendell. You are the elf of Rivendell."

"It's not Rivendell, but it is indeed an elf." Hisalie took out the dagger and cut the rope: "It's a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here. You are not already with Gandalf and set off as a member of the expedition. Is Gondor? Why was he caught by the Orcs here? What happened to the expedition?"

"Where is Meili? The gray wolf just now..."

"Your friend is in a safe place. Come with me. You can tell me on the road what happened to that expedition." Xisali beckoned to Meri.

Meili glanced back at the still silent forest: "There are many orcs behind."

"Don't worry, it is the orcs that will no longer threaten anyone." Xisari smiled: "In the name of Elune, they will contribute to this forest, like fallen leaves on the ground, nourishing this land. . Come as compensation for them offending the woodland."

Pi Pin looked at the woods behind him strangely, but his worry about his friends made him decide to quickly follow up.

It didn't take long for Pipin to meet Meili under a huge oak tree. The latter looks pretty good, but there are a lot of bruises on his body.

"Pipin!"

"Merry, it's great that you're okay!"

The two of them hugged each other and patted each other's arms and chest with a smile.

"Pipin, you can't believe what I saw just now." Meili was a little incoherent: "I thought I was dead when I was taken away, but after the wolf dragged me here, it not only didn't eat me. , And also snapped my rope. I don’t know what it means, maybe I want to wait here, and then the wolf ran away again, as if I saw it transformed into a human form. Do you remember In Bilbo’s story, can Bion become a bear? We might have met..."

"We met her in Rivendell, did you forget?" Pipin patted Meili on the forehead: "She is a fairy! Not the Beyonc family, she is a fairy, we know her."

"Have we met?" Meili's excited expression stiffened on his face, and he asked blankly: "In Rivendell?"

"Probably you were looking for food at that time." Pi Pin sighed.

"What happened to the expedition?" Hisalie asked, "You were attacked? I met Gandalf not long ago..."

"Gandalf?! He has fallen into a cliff."

"Yes, he fell into the cliff, and then came back." Xisali didn't know the meaning of this sentence very much, but she could understand the general passing. Gandalf may be in danger of being close to death, but he is reborn and reborn. This concept is not so difficult to understand for the residents of Azeroth: "What about the others? Do you have news about Zelin? Bilbo? Or the whereabouts of other people?"

"No, we were attacked by orcs after we left Lothlorien." Meili shook his head: "I also want to know how other people are. I believe Aragorn will definitely come to save us, and I got rid of it. The pins on the cloak make it easy for them to know where these orcs are going."

"Smart." Xisali nodded: "You can stay in this forest for the time being. It is safe. There may be a war outside. Those orcs should be Essien who wants to capture you in Saruman. Go, if they continue along the Fargon Forest, they will definitely reach Isengard in the end."

Hisalie is still not very familiar with the terrain of Middle-earth, but after spending this time in the forest, and in order to understand the forest, after Rivendell was familiar with the surrounding environment, she can almost imagine it in her mind. The environment near the forest.

"Isinger? War?"

"Yes, the humans outside the forest want to attack Isengard." Hisalie said of the news she had received from Gandalf: "Don't worry, it will be safe to stay in the forest. War can't come in, and the tree people Nor will the outside war be welcomed here."
