Chapter 83: Dark Forest II

   The sky is thick with lead clouds, and the sky is getting gloomy.

   This is a sign of rain.

   The cold wind howled, everyone watched Gandalf ride away on horseback.

   Thorin Oak Shield immediately turned around to greet everyone and said: "Let's go, we must reach the lone mountain before sunset on the day of Turin..."

   "There is only one chance to find the secret door to the mountain, we must be fast."

"let's go..."

   "It's very close to Lonely Mountain..."

   "I have heard people say it countless times, but I have never seen Gushan..."

   "Duo Li, you will see it soon..."

   "I haven't seen it either..."

   "I spent all my money for this expedition, and I must earn it all this time..."

   "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to send a fortune this time..."

   "Haha, that's good..."

  The distance to the lonely mountain is getting closer, and the mood of everyone in the expedition team also improves.

   The dwarves chatted and walked into the forest soon.

   "Wow, wow, wow..."

   The downpour outside finally came down.

   It's just that the trees in the dark dense forest are dense, and the dead yellow leaves are entangled and staggered, covering the sky and the sun.

   It is usually difficult for the sun to shine in, especially the raindrops.

   The sky became darker and gloomy.

  The expedition team left the edge of the forest and gradually went deep.

   Gandalf is gone, and the leader becomes Thorin Oak Shield and Bahrain the White Beard Dwarf.

   Although Morgan's strength is not low in the team.

   But he rarely speaks on the path and direction of the expedition.

   One is because I really don’t understand, and I also realize that the expedition’s journey is guided by fate, no one can change it, and I don’t want to conflict with Thorin Oak Shield because of this.

   The expedition team advances at a constant speed.

   With Gandalf’s explanation, Thorin Oak Shield tried his best to identify the road covered with dead yellow leaves.

  The soil under the feet is black, withered and decayed, the weeds and thorns on the ground are already dead.

  The deeper he went, he realized that the forest disease was serious.

   Many trees are a little deformed, and the ground is intertwined.

   There are also many tree branches covered with fist-sized ugly things like black tumors.

   Some of these black tumors growing on the branches and trunks of the big tree have not ruptured, and some have ruptured, and black pus has flowed out.

  The black sticky pus exudes a slight rancid smell.

   mixed with the decayed smell of the forest.

   makes everyone smell a little uncomfortable.

  Walking in such a forest, the atmosphere of the expedition team, which was still joyful, became silent without knowing it.

   stood in front of a fork in the road.

   Thorin Oak Shield touched the thick rotting leaves on the ground with his feet, trying hard to see the main road leading there.

   All the weeds and thorns on the ground are dead because of withering and decay.

   The ground is covered with thick leaves. The road is fairly easy to walk, but finding the main road becomes troublesome because the surroundings seem to be full of roads.

   opened the rotting leaves covered by the forked road, and finally saw the regular-shaped stones below.

   These stones were left behind when the elves built this road, because there are all on the road outside.

   "Go here..."

   Thorin Oak Shield took the lead and walked towards the left intersection.

   Everyone keeps going.

   As everyone went deeper and deeper into the forest, the sky became darker and darker.

   There are more towering giant trees around, and the branches on the ground are spreading and intersecting.

  The road became difficult to walk, and it was even harder to find the main road left by the elves.

   The rotten smell becomes more and more intense.

   "I feel it is getting harder and harder to breathe..."

   "Air, I need more air..."

   "My head is very groggy..."

   "We won't go the wrong way..."

   "No, we have always walked on the main road, and there can be no mistakes..."

   "......"

   aware of the discomfort of the air and body, the dwarves began to talk again.

   Morgan didn't say anything, even if he entered this dark and dense forest from the beginning, he remained vigilant enough.

   At this time, too, because the oxygen in the air became thinner, I began to feel uncomfortable.

   But his head is clear.

  In dense forests like this, because a large number of rotting and decaying leaves and trees will produce methane and other things.

   In this case, hypoxia is normal.

   Although I can barely use science to explain the anomaly of hypoxia.

   But the side effects caused by insufficient oxygen are very serious, such as dizziness, headache, unresponsiveness and other reactions.

   Morgan tried his best to stay calm, but his head became a little groggy because of lack of oxygen.

   "Go here..."

   Thorin Oak Shield tried his best to identify the road in front of him.

  , with the expedition team whose marching speed obviously slowed down, continued to move forward.

   Morgan kept shaking his head, trying to keep his head awake, and quickly followed Thorin Oak Shield.

   Before entering the forest, Gandalf confessed that Morgan was optimistic about Thorin Oak Shield before he left, not only because he meant to protect him.

   And when Thorin Oak Shield made a mistake, Gandalf hoped Morgan would remind Thorin in time.

   This kind of repression, the dislocation of the branches, the dark and corrupt forest, and the lack of oxygen.

   It is not so easy to identify the correct path on the ground.

   Fortunately, the expedition team seems to be lucky.

   Although the heads of the dwarves were dizzy and their speed was slow, they were on the right path after all.

   I don’t know how long it took.

  In front of everyone, a stone arch bridge finally appeared.

   It's just that the middle of the stone arch bridge is broken~www.readwn.com~ Below the stone bridge, there is a black river filled with light green miasma.

   "Bridge, we found the stone bridge Gandalf said..."

   "Why is it broken..."

   "Is it Gandalf who remembered wrong..."

   "......"

   The appearance of the stone bridge made the expedition stunned everyone finally raised a trace of spirit.

   just standing in front of the broken stone bridge, everyone's heads are a little dumbfounded.

   "This river is not very wide, we should be able to swim across..."

   Bilbo looked at the black river in front of him with some dull gaze and said.

   The voice fell, and Thorin, whose head was still sober, Oak Shield immediately said, "No, haven't you heard Gandalf say anything?"

   "Black magic exists in this forest, and this river has been cursed."

   "We must find other ways to cross the river."

   Thorin Oak Shield walked to the side and began to look around.

   "I didn't see any curse in this river..."

   "There is no corpse, and nothing else, I think so too..."

   "Sorin, this river is so narrow, we can swim across it soon..."

   Duoli and Bofer looked at the river in front of them, and said dull eyes.

   "Do I need to say it a second time? We must cross the river in other ways!"

   Thorin Oak Shield immediately shouted coldly.

   "Come here, these vines should be able to support us in the past."

   Morgan shook his head vigorously, and pointed to the pitch-black vines entangled above the river.

   At this moment, a white deer with white fur all over appeared suddenly across the black river.
