Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 82 Big Spider

Bilbo forgot how long they had been walking in the forest.

As their eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, they saw more sights.

Sometimes, there will be a thin ray of sunlight lucky enough to slip in through a gap between the thick leaves at the top, and with even greater luck not to be intercepted by the intertwined branches below, piercing a very thin line in front of them. of light.

But such cases are rare and disappear completely in no time.

Sometimes Bilbo would see black squirrels hopping up and down the tall bushes, and look at them curiously.

But soon, he hid behind the trunk in a panic and disappeared.

Sometimes the dwarves could glimpse more hares darting across the path, and there were many strange noises in the undergrowth, grunting and scratching and running fast.

But more than that, there are thick piles of rotting leaves on the ground and disgusting cobwebs hanging from the trees: dark, dense webs of exceptionally thick silk that often stretch from tree to tree , or hang from the low branches on both sides of the road.

However, it seemed that due to some kind of magic or other reasons, the road was kept clear in the first half, and these spider webs did not make them particularly uncomfortable.

Until the adventure team reached the second half of the road.

More and more spider webs appeared between the trunks of the big trees, and the disgusting waste was piled up in it. If you look closely, you can also see human bones inside;
The air became sticky, and there seemed to be a rotten smell in it forever;

The sunlight became sparse, almost none, and there was no light in the forest except the holy light of Valinor on the Holy Spirit Nahar;

There was dead silence everywhere, not a sound, no birds, no small animals, only the clatter of horseshoes.

Especially at night, the forest will become pitch black—this is not what most people call pitch black, but really extremely dark: so dark that you can’t even see anything.

Bilbo tried to move his little hand in front of his nose, but could see nothing at all.

Even for dwarves who are used to digging tunnels underground for a long time, there are often dwarves who do not see the sun for a long time; and hobbits who like to keep their homes in holes in the ground, but in summer they also like to leave their homes to breathe outside They all began to hate the forest from the heart, feeling that they were slowly suffocating to death.

"How long have we been walking?" Brother Filiqili stopped fighting, his whole body was listless, his eyes were a little confused: "I've had enough of this forest, I feel like I'm rotting, and this damn thing forest together."

Bilbo also had obvious tiredness and uneasiness on his face: "What day is it? Why do I feel that we have been in for several days, why haven't we walked out of this forest yet, we can't be lost, right?"

"Today is Thursday, and it has been two days since we entered the Great Green Forest." Turka rode on the generous back of the Holy Spirit Nahar, stopped by the road of elves, and looked at these little guys with worry, "We have not lost our way, We're now on the second half of the road."

At the same time, he also called Thorin, and made it clear: "Sorin, I can feel that we are being watched! There are other things in the forest, and they are spiders! The elves drove them away from their country, but they did not Exterminate them! We must be careful of attacks in the dark, cheer up your men, maybe we will be ambushed."

Sorin's dull eyes cleared immediately, and he snorted coldly, "Elves are just like this, hypocritical and pretending! They need these spiders as their natural barrier, so they are allowed to breed in the forest!"

Turka was dumbfounded.

It has to be said that sometimes our dwarf king is terribly perceptive.

Because even Beorn knows that the elves of the woodland kingdom don't like outsiders intruding into their kingdom, and it is entirely possible to deliberately let these disgusting monsters wander in the forest to drive away the woodcutters and travelers who trespassed here. of.

Several years ago, when Turka was invited by Legolas to come to the Great Green Forest, he encountered these giant spiders in the depths of the forest more than once.

And the elves clearly have the ability to completely exterminate these corrupt and greedy creatures.

"Be vigilant!" Thorin shouted, and the angry voice was heard far and wide in the lonely forest.

The dwarves didn't know what happened, but with Thorin's reminder, everyone's spirits finally lifted a little.

They muttered and muttered, and the silent forest became noisy.

Turka frowned.

He looked around, the big trees were mottled and shadowy.In the darkness, certain shadows are gathering, hissing and whispering.

"The heirs of Ugoliant really can't be killed." Nahal pouted its golden horseshoe, stepped on the stone slab of the elf road, and said disgustedly: "Even if it is far away, I can kill you." Smell their disgusting smell."

Turka gently caressed its slender neck, and the tip of the spear of Aeglos in his hand shone with a soft light: "I hope they won't be so stupid, otherwise we can only clean them again, like Same as in the Duskhills."

"They are closer to beasts than those at that time, and they are also more stupid! They will not let go of the meat in their mouths. Greed is driving them, making them hungry forever, like a bottomless pit that cannot be filled." Nahar said.

"Then there is no other way." Turka raised his head, his golden vertical pupils glowing faintly in the darkness. "I'm only worried about the dwarves, and our poor hobbit, who may not be ready for battle yet."

But Nahar said: "I really think that as the ring-bearers appointed by fate, the sons and daughters are stronger than we thought. You should have experienced this, haven't you?"

Turka fell silent.

He didn't hide the matter from the Holy Spirit about the Lord of the Rings, and Nahar seemed to have sensed the deeply hidden evil power in the Hobbit, a familiar power.

"Myron is as obsessed with power and power as ever! Although his creations are full of the deepest malice and evil power in the world, it is not an easy task to master! But our hobbit is very good With it, even at this point I have to say: well done!"

"The hobbit does have powers we don't know about. But at the moment, he's still just a little guy who needs our protection," Turka said.

"Then let's wait and see," Nahal said, seeming more confident than he was.

Dwarves and hobbits passed by, but none could understand the charade between them.For when they talked about these things, it was in Quenya—the Dragonborn were much more learned than they were.

On the fourth day in the forest, the dwarf and Bilbo came at last to a country mostly of beeches.

At first they were a little pleased with the change, as there were no bushes under their feet and the shadows were less dense.There was some green light around them, and in some places they could even see things for a certain distance on either side of the path.

The sound of air and wind flowing became thicker again, and some leaves fell rustlingly.

The dead leaves had already carpeted the forest with a crimson red, drifting over the edge of the path and onto the path.

The dwarves began to feel anxious inside.Because this is to remind them that autumn is getting stronger outside.

And Turin Day is at the turn of autumn and winter.

Seeing that the time is approaching, they are still wandering in the dark forest, so how can the dwarves not be in a hurry?
After another two days they found that the trail began to slope downward, and before long they came to a valley overgrown with oak trees.

At this moment, the expressions of Turka and Nahal became more serious.

"They can't wait." The Light of Valinor on Nahar became as bright as the sun, and it cried out: "These stupid and greedy creatures are swallowed up by their nature! They are hungry and have fierce eyes. , just want to eat! Not even the light of the Blessed Land can make them retreat! Here they come!"

"What's coming?"

Bilbo hadn't had a good night's sleep all this time, and he was almost falling asleep riding the pony.Hearing the Holy Spirit's sudden cry, he woke up suddenly, and almost fell off his horse in such a panic.

Sorin has always remembered what the Silver King said to him, and when he heard this, he immediately shouted: "Everyone, be careful! The spider is coming!"

The dwarves were also well-trained. They immediately drew their weapons, pulled the reins nervously, and gathered together to form a circle.

"Spider? What spider?" Bilbo was surrounded in the center, and the others didn't tell him about the enemy. After all, in the eyes of everyone, our Master Baggins is still obediently his snitch compared to a warrior. more suitable.

Then he saw that the branches around their heads began to rustle and shake violently, as if something was running and jumping.

"Hobbit feet!" he cried, almost unnerved by the sea of ​​spiders that flooded down from the tall branches.

"Spider! What a big spider!"

"Don't stand still! Let's fight! It's time to test us!" Turka yelled angrily, swung the spear of Aeglos, and cut a disgusting creature the size of a calf in two!
"Fizz!"

Hundreds of giant spiders rushed over from all directions. They opened and closed their disgusting claws, screaming hissingly, and their eight compound eyes showed greedy and hungry green light.

As early as a few days ago, these monsters noticed that new food had broken into their territory.These greedy, insatiable monsters immediately gathered secretly, whispering.

"Eat 'em! Suck 'em up! Delicious pastries are on their way!"

"What a blinding light! We hate that light, we hate that light! That light hurts our eyes! It burns us! Hurts us!"

These descendants of the spider demon god Ugoliant, for countless generations, were frightened by the light of Valinor on the Holy Spirit Nahar. Although they were hungry and greedy, they did not dare to hunt as usual.

And it makes them almost miserable.

It is in the nature of these monsters that they want to devour everything!Like their creators!
Seeing the delicious food dangling from their mouths, but they couldn't swallow it, these hungry and greedy creatures gathered more and more, and became more and more irritable.

Finally, until one day, the natural longing overwhelmed the fear of the eternal light of the blessed land, and these monsters couldn't bear it anymore.

"Eat them! Eat them!"

they say.

A frightening green light appeared from the eyes.

The dwarves have knives, axes, and hammers, and even Bilbo has an elf sword in his hand.

Importantly, they have Turca Aracano.

The Silver King waved Aeglos bravely, and almost all the spiders that dared to appear in front of him were cut into two by him, and the disgusting juice flowed all over the forest.

Coupled with the light of Valinor constantly bursting from Nahar's body, the spiders couldn't get close to them at all.

As a result, everyone was greatly encouraged.

"Turin mustache! We hate spiders!"

The dwarves fought desperately, yelled angrily, and waved their weapons bravely, repelling one disgusting and frightening big spider after another.
