However, with his current strength, he is almost on par with Sauron.

Only a real fight can determine who is superior.

"..."

Aragorn kept a close eye on the four hobbits throughout.

They were clearly trying to confirm whether the group was being followed.

Meanwhile, the four hobbits had already inquired with the tavern owner and learned that Gandalf had not appeared recently.

After discussing it together, they decided to stay and wait for him.

These four people were naive and innocent, unaware of the treacherous nature of people and the importance of not flaunting their wealth.

Driven by their love of food, they quickly ordered a lot of exquisite dishes and began to feast, which naturally attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Unlike the seasoned swordsman Aragorn, who would "accidentally" reveal the longsword at his waist to intimidate those around him.

"Aragorn, they're in trouble." Bai Yu frowned as he looked at the restless thugs around him and said to the ranger.

"Hmm, I'll find a chance to take them away..."

Aragorn was clearly well aware that, apart from being fast and good at hiding, hobbits had virtually no fighting ability.

Once you're targeted, it's difficult to deal with the enemy unless you go in and get yourself killed.

The reason they weren't taken away immediately was because an opportunity was lacking.

The four hobbits knew Gandalf, but had never met him before. Approaching him rashly might arouse their suspicion and scare them away.

At this moment, several local thugs, attracted by the Hobbits' wealth, surrounded them, cursing and swearing.

The burly man at the head of the group grinned maliciously and reached out to grab Frodo, who looked the weakest of the three.

"Kids, you guys don't seem to be short of money, why don't you lend some to us old folks to spend!"

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the burly man flew backward at an even greater speed, crashing into a wooden table and getting covered in drinks and food. He passed out without even uttering a sound.

Bai Yu had somehow appeared in front of the hobbit and slowly withdrew his fist.

"court death!"

"Go together!"

Seeing this, the remaining thugs drew their short knives or clubs and swarmed forward.

The tavern erupted in screams, and the other patrons scattered in panic.

Aragorn knew something was wrong and was about to draw his sword to help when he saw Eri Kisaki shake her head at him: "Leave it to Shiraha-kun."

Before the words were even finished, the situation on the field had already changed dramatically.

Bai Yu's figure darted among the thugs like a ghost, his movements so fast that only afterimages remained.

He didn't use lethal force, but each strike accurately hit the opponent's joints or vital points, accompanied by a tooth-chilling sound of bones cracking and screams of agony.

Within a few breaths, all the thugs were lying on the ground, groaning in pain, and incapacitated.

The whole process was clean and efficient, without even a drop of blood splashing onto the terrified hobbits who were standing right next to them.

"?!"

Aragorn's pupils constricted as he looked.

He knew he could handle these thugs too, but he could never do it as effortlessly as Bai Yu.

Their control over power is absolutely exquisite.

This old friend, during the years he disappeared, has become unfathomably powerful.

"It's alright, children." Bai Yu turned around and said to the still-shaken hobbits, "We are Gandalf's friends."

"You know Gandalf?" The hobbit Frodo's tension eased slightly upon hearing the name, but his eyes remained wary.

“This is not the place to talk,” Aragorn said immediately, pulling down his hood. “We’ve been spotted. We must leave now.”

His sharp gaze swept across the chaotic tavern, and in some shadowy corners, a more troublesome atmosphere seemed to be stirring.

"Come with me, I know a safe place."

Chapter 129 The Evolved Dark Magician Girl, Eri and Her Daughter!

Led by Aragorn, with Shiraha protecting the four hobbits, Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri followed closely behind.

The group quickly left the noisy and chaotic Prancing Horse Hotel.

It disappeared into the dark and damp alleys of Brie.

Crash....

The rain outside was getting heavier.

The cold rain pounded on the stone pavement, and a thick dampness began to rise in the air.

"We're being followed."

During the run, Bai Yu suddenly frowned and whispered to the crowd.

His perception abilities are now vastly different from what they used to be.

With the mixed bloodline of a Spartan demon and a radiant dragon, Bai Yu could see the movements of everything within a thousand miles as clearly as if he were looking at a picture on the palm of his hand.

At this moment, he noticed that a large number of evil and cold auras were rapidly approaching them from more than ten kilometers away.

Aragorn nodded gravely: "It must be a Ringwraith spy. Brie is no longer safe. We must leave the town as soon as possible."

Led by him, the group took a winding route and eventually found refuge in an abandoned barn outside the town.

Close the door.

The atmosphere eased slightly after the outside wind and rain were cut off.

To take care of the four panting hobbits who were almost too tired to run, as well as Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri.

The group had no choice but to linger there.

After Aragorn explained and showed Gandalf's personal token, Frodo and the others finally believed them.

He then recounted in detail Gandalf's broken promise and the ordeal of his four companions being relentlessly pursued by the mysterious Black Knight.

“We can’t delay any longer. Once the Ringwraiths hunt their enemies, they will fight to the death. We must head to Rivendell immediately,” Aragorn said resolutely. “Only King Elrond can provide us with protection and guide us on our next steps.”

"But outside... isn't it?!"

Frodo cautiously peered at the door.

He looked worriedly at the howling wind and rain outside the door.

Traveling in such terrible weather is extremely dangerous.

"Do you think it's better to face terrible weather, or to fight those Ringwraith Black Knights?"

Bai Yu dispelled the dwarf's concerns with a single sentence.

"I-I understand."

Frodo took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination: "Let's go now!"

He was able to resist the temptation of the One Ring and not easily succumb to it, which shows that he was not a person lacking in self-will.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that what Bai Yu and Aragorn said was correct.

Bai Yu looked around at everyone and said, "I can sense that those cold-blooded pursuers are getting closer and closer."

"Aragorn, where is the safe place you're talking about?"

"Windfall Peak," Aragorn uttered three words. "It's high up there, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Perhaps we can hold out until dawn."

"Well, let's go!"

Thunder rumbled across the sky.

It seemed as if it was about to tear the entire sky apart.

The rain poured down like a waterfall.

The group rushed out of the abandoned barn and hurried through the thunder and rain, soon arriving at an unattended stable.

The deafening roar of thunder caused the horses in the stable to become restless and agitated.

Aragorn's expression was rather grim.

Anyone who has ridden a horse knows how dangerous and troublesome it is to ride a horse in a thunderstorm.

Without rigorous training, ordinary horses would find it extremely difficult to sustain a long run in a thunderstorm.

"give it to me."

Bai Yu released a slight trace of dragon might.

The somewhat restless stable immediately quieted down.

As superior beings, dragons are practically a force to be reckoned with compared to ordinary species.

After selecting a few of the stronger horses, the group mounted again and galloped towards Fengyun Peak.

Aragorn rode alone on one horse, while the four dwarves rode together on another.

As before, Shiraha rode with Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki.

The group quickly left Buri, traversing mountains and forests without stopping.

The four hobbits are named Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry.

Of the four, Frodo is the leader, Sam is his family's gardener and childhood friend, and the other two are his distant cousins.

During their journey, the four hobbits gradually became acquainted with Bai Yu and the others, realizing that the other party had no intention of harming them.

With the One Ring within reach, they never made a move to touch it. Furthermore, Aragorn's recounting of his story with Gandalf quickly brought them closer together and deepened their trust.

After crossing the plains, the terrain begins to rise slowly.

The rain gradually subsided.

The group arrived at the rolling hills.

On the distant hills, an abandoned tower can be vaguely seen.

It gazes into the distance like a watchtower, bathed in moonlight, shining as brightly as a crown.

"That's Fengyun Peak, also known as the famous Amonsur!"

Aragorn's expression was complicated.

The man who built the tower was his ancestor Irundil, a name filled with glory.

But those who came after tarnished this glory.

He had been running away from it, feeling unworthy of the honor.

The young knight-errant was overwhelmed with thoughts, as if weighed down by a boulder.

As night deepened, thick, dark clouds shrouded the sky.

A deep darkness enveloped the land, and the distant forest swayed in the wind.

Accompanied by rustling sounds, like a ghostly laugh, it sent shivers down one's spine.

Snap, snap...

at this time.

The sound of horses' hooves, sometimes near, sometimes far, suddenly rang out.

In the darkness, the muffled roar drew ever closer.

Accompanied by the whispers of death, a large number of black shadows appeared, moving at high speed across the gray hillsides.

They were shrouded in black robes and rode demonic black horses, arriving at the foot of Fengyun Peak in the blink of an eye.

"They're the same people who were chasing us before!" Frodo exclaimed in surprise. "How come there are so many of them now?"

Aragorn bowed his head.

He met a pair of merciless, scarlet eyes and felt a chill run down his spine: "Damn it, it's a Ringwraith, or have they caught up with us?"
