"I would like to, too, if possible!" Gandalf said helplessly, "But if you make a detour, you will have to walk at least two hundred kilometers to the north, or twice as far to the south."

Hearing this, Aaron was also speechless, "That means there is no other choice."

"you can say it this way."

"Even if you don't take a detour, it doesn't make sense. This area is full of orcs, and their number is increasing. You can never reach that forest alive by walking alone." Beorn said and stood up, "I don't like Dwarves, they are greedy, blind, always ignoring those they think are less than their own life.

But I hate Orcs more. What do you want? "

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all thought of the dozen or so horses outside.

You can't get to that forest by walking, so you can ride a horse to head office!

Beorn did not refuse this request, and generously lent them his horse, and even took the initiative to transform into a black bear to escort them all the way to the dark jungle.

After riding for hundreds of kilometers, they arrived at Mirkwood before dark.

"The Gate of the Elves," said Gandalf, "this is the way through Mirkwood."

"We were lucky there were no orcs around," said Dwalin.

"It's not that we're lucky, it's because we are protected." Aaron looked at the black bear on the mountaintop in the distance. "If it weren't for Beorn, our journey would have been much more difficult."

"Release the ponies! Let them go back to their owners."

Gandalf walked into the Mirkwood, pushed aside a vine, and saw a red mark.

"Going to Rudolph Hills?" Gandalf murmured, and hurried out of the jungle, "Leave my horse, I'm still useful."

"Aren't you going to leave us?" Bilbo asked worriedly.

"If it wasn't a last resort, I wouldn't do it.

You have changed, Bilbo Baggins. Gandalf looked at him with relief and said, "You are no longer the hobbit you were when you left the Shire. "

"I have to tell you, I found something in the orc tunnel." Bilbo said, reaching into his pocket, wanting to take out the ring, but thinking of the crisis that might arise next, he finally decided Keep this ring for now.

"what have you found?"

"My courage."

"Great." Gandalf raised an eyebrow. "You'll need it."

"Aaron, are you interested in visiting the tomb of the Witch King of Angmar with me?"

Aaron's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of King Elrond's heavy expression when they saw the Witch King of Angmar's sword in Rivendell, he immediately refused, "I won't even go if I kill Baggins."

"Kill Baggins? I knew you would say that." Gandalf said speechlessly, "Then I beg you to protect them."

"Do your best."

"I can't do my best, there are not only elves in this dense forest, there are other things.

I don't know why you keep hiding your magic, but we're near the Lonely Mountain, and soon we'll face the dragon, and you won't be able to hide it after all.

If it's really a last resort, I hope you..."

"I will make a move." Aaron pondered, "But I can only guarantee that it is within the scope of my ability."

"Thank you." Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Thorin, "I will wait for you at the lookout city of Irubor ahead, take care to keep the map and keys well, without me, you don't want to enter the Lonely Mountain.

In addition, this is not just a green forest. The air in the forest is turbid and psychedelic. It will invade your consciousness and lead you astray.

You must walk along the road, and don't take the wrong road. If you go wrong, you will never find the way. "

Chapter 249: The troops are divided into two groups, the patron saint raven

Gandalf's advice as he departs: stay on the road no matter what happens

However, not long after entering the Misty Forest, the expedition team took a fork in the road and wandered around the trail in a daze.

"Air, I need air." Ouyin said weakly, "What happened?"

"Go on," Thorin said.

"I can't go anymore." Nuoli pointed blankly at the cliff in front, "That road is gone."

"The air in the woods is turbid and psychedelic." Aaron said speechlessly. "Obviously, we are lost. I shouldn't let you lead the team from the beginning."

"You didn't ask for that either!" said Bilbo feebly.

"That's because I'm not familiar with the place at all.

Mirkwood is not far from Lonely Mountain. Logically speaking, the neighbors of the elves, the dwarves would be a lot easier for us to lead the way, but the fact proves that I think highly of them. "

"We haven't been to this dense forest a few times." Balin explained, "Before Irubor was captured by the dragon, the elves led the way, and that was many years ago."

"Find, all of you, quickly find the way." Sorin said impatiently.

"Wait a minute." Aaron waved his hand. "My personal suggestion is that everyone should not separate. It would be bad if one or two were lost."

"Find your way, but don't stray too far."

The dwarves scattered, looking around, but in Aaron's view they were literally circling in circles.

"The dark jungle has too much influence on people!" Aaron thought to himself, "In the end, I have to count on me to be awake in this world, otherwise they will be exhausted in this state and can't find their way."

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from his ear, and he turned his head to look, almost popping his eyes.

I saw Bilbo plucking a web, which was nothing, but behind the web was a huge sleeping spider.

He immediately stepped forward to stop Bilbo from committing death, "Don't move around."

"what happened?"

Aaron didn't answer, but asked him to take a closer look at the spider web. When he saw a black spider leg, he backed up a few steps in fright, and his sluggish spirit instantly lifted.

"This should be something else that Gandalf said." Aaron mused.

"I didn't wake it up!"

"Not yet, but we have to speed up. I don't think there is only one spider in this jungle."

Bilbo swallowed, and nodded emphatically.

The road ahead was not easy. As time went by, everyone's condition became worse and worse, and they started to sway from side to side when walking.

To make matters worse, there are more and more cobwebs on the road, which is not a good sign.

"Look, a cigarette pouch." Ouyin picked up a cigarette pouch from the ground, "There are other dwarves in this forest."

"And it's a dwarf from the Deep Blue Mountains." Bofur said in amazement, "This pipe is exactly the same as mine."

"That's yours." Aaron rolled his eyes, "We have to stop. It's not terrible to get lost, but the terrible thing is not knowing that we are lost, and getting deeper and deeper."

"We haven't lost our way, we've been heading east," Devlin said.

"Really?" Aaron pointed to the top of his head. The sun was blocked by the leaves, and only a small amount of light could shine in. "Please tell me, how did you determine which side is east?"

"I..." Dwalin opened his mouth, "Ouyin has the most sense of direction, and I followed him."

"Beautiful, he swayed more than you on the road." Aaron sighed helplessly, and was about to take out his compass to find the way.

But before he could move, Bilbo jumped up to him. "Sun, I've got my way. We can climb up to the top of the tree."

"I thought about it, but..." Aaron looked at the dense spider webs on the tree, "I don't think this is a good idea."

"But there is no other way," said Bilbo, "but to climb the tree."

"Okay!" Aaron shrugged, "Shorin, you and the other dwarves don't wander around. Bilbo and I will go explore the road first."

As soon as they left, Sorin heard soft rustling voices, and his expression changed instantly, "Everyone be careful, take up weapons, we are being targeted."

The dwarves were brought back to their senses by his yelling, but at the moment their mental state was extremely poor, and before they had time to react, more than ten giant spiders surrounded the place.

White cobwebs covered the sky, cocooning them in seconds.

Bilbo climbed up the canopy of the tree, and a gust of wind came blowing in his face. He breathed the fresh air, and his mental state recovered instantly.

"Are you awake?" Aaron stood on a branch and looked at him meaningfully. "I guess Gandalf never thought that climbing a tree would eliminate the negative effects of Mirkwood."

"He certainly doesn't know," said Bilbo sheepishly, "but you don't seem to be affected by the stale air in the woods."

"This...isn't important." Aaron sneered. His body had been soaked in various medicinal baths, not to mention invulnerable to all poisons. The air in this forest couldn't invade his body at all. consciousness.

"I can see a lake, and a river, and a lonely mountain," cried Bilbo excitedly, "and we're almost there.

Did you hear that?I know where to go. "

There was no response from below. Instead, there was a creaking sound from a distance, as if some kind of huge creature was rampaging in the woods and moving towards them.

"Spider." Aaron looked solemn, "I'm afraid there is not one spider, but a group."

"That means Thorin and the others might?"

"Don't take chances, they are probably caught.

Ordinary web spiders wrap up their prey, and we have to find them as soon as possible. "

Bilbo nodded and began to climb down.

But as soon as he moved, he tripped over a web and fell from the tree.

After hitting several thick branches in a row, Bilbo was hung on the white spider web.

A rustling sound came from the opposite side, Bilbo looked over subconsciously, and a black spider head appeared in front of his eyes, and then opened his mouth, revealing several rings of sharp teeth.

"what!"

Bilbo was so startled that he fell again, and this time he was caught in the web and could not move.

Seeing this, the giant spider immediately chased after it, and its eight legs moved out at the same time, wrapping Bilbo into a mummy with its web.

"Hit the Giant Spider."

A white light flashed, and the giant spider flew out with a scream.

"Aaron, you..." Bilbo looked at Aaron standing on the spider web and holding a black wand, his face was full of astonishment, "You really know magic, Gandalf is right."

Aaron shrugged, "The ancestor said..."

"Don't say your ancestors are dead, even dogs won't believe this excuse."

"The ancestor once said, don't expose your magic casually." Aaron said solemnly, "So you have to remember to keep it secret, after all, I am here to save you!"

"I see, I see." Bilbo complained weakly. "It's hard to let me out first."

"I can release you, but I have a better idea." Aaron smiled meaningfully.

Bilbo froze for a moment, his expression changed slightly, "Wait, I don't think this is a good idea."

"I think it's okay.

Don't worry, I will protect you. "

After speaking, Aaron tapped his shoulder with his wand and disappeared in place.

Bilbo:  …

"You will also be invisible?"

"Don't pay attention to those details."

"I..."

Bilbo was about to speak when the giant spider came running back.

Six black eyes glanced around to confirm that the person who attacked it before was not here, and then dragged Bilbo away.

The giant spider took him to the lair, where besides a bunch of spiders, there were thirteen mummies hung upside down in the air, and all the dwarves were wiped out.

Bilbo took a deep breath, drew out his dagger and stabbed the giant spider in the neck, picking it off the tree.

After finishing the enemy in front of him, he immediately tore the spider web on his body with his sword, and carefully hid behind the tree trunk.

"It's all here." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, "The good news is that they are still alive and kicking around, and the negative influence of Mirkwood on them seems to have disappeared.

The bad news is that the spiders can't wait for dinner and we're running out of time. "

"Can you save them with magic?"

"It's okay to save one or two, but it's difficult to deal with so many. It's nothing to accidentally injure a friendly army, but you can fall into it if you are not careful."

"What if I lure them away for you?"

"you?"
