The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Beware of the top of your head!"

Altariel reminded.

In the light of the evil eyes of the Evil Black Tower, six ring spirits riding on the monster beasts swooped down from the sky, rushing straight towards Zelin's location from different directions.

"I saw it!"

Zelin pulled up the reins, and the Griffon flew into the sky suddenly, avoiding the attack of a ring spirit. The moment the other Ring Spirit passed by the Griffin from the side, he pierced Zelin with the blade flat like a lance.

The blades are staggered.

Boom!

The magic sword forged in the Mordor Factory, which made many warriors frightened by the wind, broke under the collision of the ebony blades, and the broken blades rotated in the sky and fell into the ground. An arrow with golden light shot at the ring spirit, and the ring spirit screamed and flew into the sky. The monster beast that was hit let out a shrill wailing, flapping its wings desperately and fleeing to the direction of the Doomsday Volcano.

The remaining ring spirits did not rush to Zelin's side.

In the light of the setting sun, the giant eagle screamed into the battlefield and rushed straight to Jie Ling. The wind king Guan He and his brothers rushed into the battlefield by the strong wind. Suddenly appeared from the sky, and rushed towards the ring spirit, the huge wings brought up the waves like a hurricane, and bite the group of enemies stubbornly. The giant eagle and the flying beast fought in the sky, and the ring spirits who wanted to attack the ground army and protect the other half-orcs were forced to turn their attention to the sky. A monster beast will face the siege of two giant eagles, and they will fight and retreat, and they can only retreat to the Doomsday Volcano.

Without air cover, the orcs on the ground were defeated at the moment they contacted the coalition and the undead army. The gaze of the magic eye forced them to continue fighting. It didn't take long for the coalition forces to kill only one corpse.

At this time, the magic eye that had been watching the Black Gate suddenly turned to the direction of the Doomsday Volcano.

The ring spirits in the sky screamed in pain, and they rushed to the Doomsday Volcano in spite of the attack of the giant eagle.

Chapter 2537 The Ring of Destruction

Bilbo never imagined that one day he would embark on a more dangerous path than diving into a lonely mountain.

They no longer concealed their shadows, but went straight to the Doomsday Volcano. All Mordor's troops were sent to the Udon Plains to resist the offensive of the coalition forces. All the ring spirits flew over the Black Gate to fight the giant eagle. The evil eye that once watched the entire Mordor is now looking to the north, observing the emperor and wizards that made it threaten, without noticing that there are several determined hobbits carrying the treasures it dreams of. Step by step into the core of Mordor.

Before coming here, people who had arrived in this land described to them what the destination looked like. It is a cave leading to the interior of the Doomsday Volcano. The cave is like a trestle bridge-like rock promenade, leading to the inner lava river, and below is a tens of meters high cliff. The Supreme Lord of the Rings is forged at the end of the rock promenade. Become.

As the altitude rises, the **** of the Doomsday Volcano becomes steeper and steeper. These hillsides are covered with rugged rocks and warm volcanic ash.

"There is a war there!"

Sam pointed to the plains of Uton in the distance and shouted, "The orcs are fighting with someone!"

Bilbo glanced into the distance, then looked away.

"No matter who the orcs are fighting with, we must continue to climb up, Sam Jenji!" He was panting, dripping sweat on his forehead: "As long as we can send the ring to the Doomsday Volcano sooner than later, I can win sooner!"

Bilbo raised his head and squinted slightly to look up. The Doomsday Volcano is a huge tower made of ashes, lava and hot rocks. Its figure straight into the sky, and the dark sky is made up of smoke clouds that it emits.

"...And let one more soldier survive and go back to reunite with his family."

"How far have we gone?" Frodo took a deep breath, his hands hanging weakly beside him: "We have been climbing for so long...this mountain will never reach the top."

"But we have to speed up, Frodo, Sam!" Bilbo glanced to the left, then to his nephew on the right: "We, let's destroy the ring, the ring together!"

For some reason, the former sense of ease disappeared completely.

The ring seemed to realize what they were going to do. The ring became heavier and heavier, and it was tightly squeezed on Bilbo's neck, as if to use it to break his neck. The ring was getting hotter and hotter, and Bilbo felt like a person who had gone through two days of running without getting an hour of rest. As if the eyelids filled with lead kept sinking, there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him that lie down and rest as soon as possible is what he should do, telling him that he has gone so far, he should rest a little before moving forward. Only a few tens of meters away, a break will not delay anything.

Bilbo kept talking loudly, cheering on Frodo and Sam, and seemed to be alerting himself.

On the way, the ring they exchanged, Bilbo was holding the Supreme Lord Ring, and Frodo was carrying the ring of power forged by Celebrity. It seems that after carrying the Supreme Lord of the Rings, the Ring of Power has no effect on Frodo.

When the entrance of the Doomsday Volcano appeared within sight, Bilbo felt that his leg was about to break.

And Frodo and Sam beside him looked tired. Anyone who walks to the doomsday volcano will inevitably feel despair and fatigue in his heart under the suppressed black cloud.

"Bilbo." Frodo walked to Bilbo. He reached out and held Bilbo's left hand with a sad face: "How long shall we go?"

"I will always follow you, Frodo." Sam walked over, his face was covered with soot and his clothes were in tatters, but his eyes were fixed on Frodo: "We have gone so far. , From the Shire in the west to Mordor in the east... Our journey did not go far, because there is still a farther way to go back.

"I think we may not be able to go back." Frodo sighed.

"Of course we can go back." Bilbo stood up straight and straightened his chest. He took Frodo's arm, grabbed his hand, and held Sam's hand in the same way. They stood tightly side by side. Together: "Remember my story? Those who arrive at the destination and complete the task will definitely be able to return to their hometown with harvest and friendship."

They looked at each other, and Bilbo saw that the sadness in Frodo's eyes disappeared. Perhaps he believed Bilbo's words, or thought that if he could complete the task, he would eventually die with his family and friends, which would be a good ending. Sam was never confused in his eyes. He followed Frodo all the way to here, and he continued to walk until he fell.

They raised their heads together, looked towards the volcano that was erupting thick smoke, and stepped forward together, striding towards the core of the volcano resolutely.

In the end, they came to the tunnel in the volcanic cone, with many cracks not far in front. The dazzling red light sometimes flourished, and sometimes dimmed back to the darkness. From time to time, there was a low and rumbling sound of a huge machine running in the cave, and the dazzling red light made everyone squint to adapt to the only light in the darkness.

"Frodo." Bilbo took a deep breath: "Give me the ring."

Frodo did not hesitate, he took out the silver-white ring in his pocket. Bilbo took off the necklace from his neck at the same time. He looked at the golden ring hanging under the necklace with his eyes focused. After a few seconds, he stretched out his hand and took the second ring of power.

"Let it all end." He muttered to himself, step by step, walking down the tunnel to the depths of the volcano.

Frodo and Sam glanced at each other, they took two steps forward, and then they were driven back by the scorching heat. There was a lot of fire on both sides of the tunnel, and the lava was tumbling against the cliffs.

Bilbo seemed to feel nothing, he took a step forward, took the second step, and moved forward mechanically, as if his life was only left to the precipice of the cliff.

In the end, the hobbit stopped in front of the cliff. Bilbo took out the two rings and pinched the necklace on the ring with his left and right hands. He straightened his arm and the ring was hanging in front of him, level with his sight.

The air seemed to freeze.

Bilbo didn't make any movements, he just looked at the ring, his eyes seemed to be reluctant, but nostalgic, as if he was reminiscing about something, some stories that he will never forget.

Frodo and Sam stood at the entrance, eyes wide open, looking nervously at Bilbo's back. Bilbo was stiff and motionless, as if he had been turned into a stone statue.

More than twenty seconds passed, but for everyone present, it seemed that a year had already passed.

Finally, Bilbo sighed suddenly, shook his head, and muttered to himself as if complaining.

"I'm just an ordinary hobbit."

After that, he let go of his hands.

The ring fell into the lava under the action of gravity.

The moment the ring hits the lava, it first floats on top of the lava. A solid surface seems to be formed under the ring, supporting it and preventing it from blending into the lava. But this didn't last long. The black clot broke apart under the high temperature. The silver ring of power that fell into the lava first was the silver-white ring of strength, which disappeared into the lava without any resistance. The golden supreme lord ring exudes a dazzling light, and an inscription carved with peculiar characters gradually emerges on it.

The Supreme Lord Ring slowly disappeared into the lava. It disappeared like this, as if unwillingly, it merged very slowly, but after a few seconds, the dazzling golden light also disappeared in a sea of ​​fire.

The ring spirit flying in the sky did not have time to rescue it from the molten metal.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Bilbo looked at the Supreme Lord of the Rings disappearing below, as if watching it leave.

The next moment, the sudden eruption of the fire crow awakened Bilbo. The red light shone on the entire cave, and all the surroundings were stained blood red, and the heat was unbearable. There was a roar, mixed with a lot of extremely chaotic sounds, the flames shot out, licking the roof of the cave, the original fluctuations turned into an astonishing giant earthquake, the whole volcano was shaking constantly, and the rocks and gravel came from the top of the cave. The patter of falling, accompanied by a dull roar, the cracks on the rock wall spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Run, Bilbo!" Frodo shouted, "Run!"

Bilbo turned and staggered towards them. Frodo and Sam hesitated, they rushed towards Bilbo, held his arm, and rushed towards the exit of the cave together.
