A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 389 Giant Spider
"..."

Seymour fell silent again.

He finally understood that Thranduil was counting on the teacher he was talking about from the beginning to the end, and he had no intention of relying on himself to get back the white diamond necklace.

You really judge people by their cover!
Is it so unreliable to look young?
He is more than 100 years old anyway, and he has already grown up among humans or elves in this world!

Seymour sighed slightly, and his heart was eager to grow up like never before.

"I see……"

Seymour still nodded, and just when he was about to say that he would try his best to contact the teacher, a burst of violent footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

The three people in the hall turned their heads in unison.

I saw Tauriel walking into the hall with a few elves, and knelt down on one knee towards Thranduil, with a dignified expression on his beautiful face.

"King, there has been a change in Dogul, and the dark creatures in the southern part of the dense forest have rioted."

Thranduil was shocked when he heard this, and gave the order without hesitation.

"Send an army to suppress it immediately! Legolas, the recruitment of the squad is postponed for the time being. You lead the escort and other elf rangers to the south to find out the reason for the Dol Guldur riot."

Legolas on the side nodded, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall, his movements were crisp and neat without the slightest sloppiness.

Tauriel saluted respectfully again, got up and followed behind Legolas.

"Wait, I'll go with you!"

Seymour apologized to Thranduil, and hurried to catch up with Legolas.

……

……

Half an hour later, countless figures of woodland elves appeared at the border of the dense forest river.

The Woodland Kingdom is located in the northeast corner of the Mirkwood, next to the Jungle River that runs through the jungle, and about one-third of the east end of the Jungle River, there is a not-so-wide tributary.

At the end of the tributary are the Black Forest mountains at the eastern end of the center.

At this moment, Legolas quietly crossed the Jungle River with his guards, and followed the tributaries to the Black Forest Mountains.

scoff-

The sound of a sharp knife cutting a rag sounded, and a wolf with dirty hair and a ferocious expression was cut in half by Seymour. Countless blood and internal organs were spilled on the ground, and the air suddenly filled with thick of stench.

The undead warg wailed in pain, until a sharp knife was pierced into its head, and its voice gradually died down.

The team continued on their way.

Legolas frowned slightly and approached Seymour in a low voice.

"Seymour, you didn't need to be so hard just now, just slit its throat, I know you can do it."

"I know that too, but..."

Seymour faltered and said, with a trace of embarrassment and entanglement on Jun's face.

When he was in the sword field, Seymour had already been trained by Lin Yi to have a thick nerve. Not to mention a wolf, even a whole army of ferocious undead, he could still face them without changing his face. Launch a charge--

At least until today, Seymour thought so.

Seymour changed his mind until the wolf jumped at him with its mouth open.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's because that wolf's mouth tastes too strong!

As soon as he got close, Seymour almost choked on the smell.

Coupled with its yellow sharp teeth full of tartar, and the translucent viscous liquid hanging on the sharp teeth...

Seymour would rather die at once than be close to the warg.

Therefore, before the blade was about to penetrate the wolf's head, Seymour deflected his body sharply, turned the blade, and cut the wolf's waist and abdomen in half with one sword.

No wonder woodland elves like to use bows and arrows!
Seymour hesitated to speak, stopped and hesitated to speak, but in the end it could only be turned into a deep sigh.

"Do you have any more bows and arrows? Give me a pair!"

"Can you still use a bow and arrow?"

"Of course, which elf can't use arrows?"

"Really, let me see how your archery is!"

Legolas took the bow and arrow and quiver from behind, and handed it to Seymour instead.

At this time, there was a sudden rustling sound not far in front.

Legolas and the others stopped all their movements immediately, leaning against the mountain wall with breathless concentration.

After a long time, the rustling sound gradually faded away, and Legolas turned his head and said in a low voice.

"There is a cave not far ahead, which can run straight through the entire Black Forest Mountain Range. From there, we can directly pass through the defense line of dark creatures, but pay attention, there are a group of giant spiders living in the cave, and they are all spider-like evil spirits. Descendants of Angorion!"

"There is still such a place." Seymour was slightly surprised, and then asked suspiciously, "Since this place can run through the entire Black Forest Mountain Range, why didn't you encircle and suppress these spiders and take this cave in your hands?"

"Because they don't wear a pair of trousers with Dogguldu."

"So they won't attack us?"

"No, of course they will attack us, but they will also attack other dark creatures. Keeping these spiders here will allow us to confirm whether Dogul has discovered this passage, and secondly, it can be regarded as a line of defense, and Why not consume the life of the woodland elves?"

"...makes sense."

Seymour nodded thoughtfully, feeling in his heart that the world of adults is so difficult to understand, and followed Legolas and others into the cave.

After entering the cave, Seymour discovered that it was not so much a cave as a narrow rift, but the cliffs on both sides just met and joined at the very top.

On the gray-black land, there are many black trees growing, and the thick trunks twist and grow upwards, supporting the top of the entire cave.

The cave was dark and dark, as if shrouded in a never-fading midnight.

Especially the black shadows around the tree trunks seem to be darker than the real night,

As everyone approached, Seymour realized that those black shadows were all made up of layers of spider webs, and there were some huge white round cocoons hanging from many thick tree trunks.

"Where's the spider?" Seymour asked quietly.

"It should be foraging. Looking at the appearance of these round cocoons, the spiders may have encountered a wave of rich enough food sources this time..."

"……for example?"

"Orcs or dark creatures, who knows?"

Legolas glanced across the cocoons above, and said in a quite sure tone: "Don't worry about him, it's definitely not elves anyway, these cocoons are not half the size of elves."

"no!"

A faint, slightly anxious voice came from the side.

Everyone was startled, and they pointed their bows and arrows vigilantly at the line of defense from which the voice came.

Then they were surprised to find that a short halfling appeared on the side of the stone at some point, and was raising his hands at the moment, his small face was full of anxiety and panic.

Legolas raised his eyebrows, aiming the arrow at the short man.

"dwarf?"

"No, of course not, I'm a hobbit!"

The short man suddenly exclaimed, Tao Ruier looked at him carefully, and found that the short man had broad feet, hard pads and thick brown curly hair, slightly pointed ears, and curly hair. Most importantly, he no beard...

Sure enough, it's not a dwarf!

Tauriel walked behind Legolas and whispered his judgment in elven language.

Legolas nodded, and immediately put down the bow and arrow in his hand.

"Hobbit, you are lucky today. I don't have time to deal with you. Get out of here quickly. You can walk out of this cave from the direction we came from. If you are lucky, you can meet my people outside. As long as you show enough kindness, they should rescue you."

Seymour did not speak, nor did he draw his bow, but stood and looked at the hobbit.

Legolas and the others may regard what happened just now as a temporary mistake, but Seymour will not, because since he entered the cave, his nerves have been in a state of tension, and the surrounding environment has been observed by him immediately over and over.

So Seymour is very sure that there is absolutely no figure behind that stone!
But the things in front of him were obviously contrary to his judgment, so Seymour thought that there must be something special about this hobbit that could escape his perception and sight so easily.

In fact, Seymour's judgment was correct.

There is indeed nothing behind that stone, because Bilbo Baggins, who was hiding behind, put on the Supreme Lord of the Rings, and his body remained invisible until Legolas expressed his intention to leave, and Bilbo took it off The Supreme Lord of the Rings, retreated from the invisible state.

This party was Bilbo and the dwarves who had sneaked into Mirkwood.

After entering Mirkwood, the dwarves lived up to Gandalf's expectations, and soon deviated from the safe path left by the elves, and were confused by the enchanted fog in the forest.

Until the dark creatures rioted, Bilbo and the dwarves were chased and ran around. In a panic, they plunged into the Black Forest Mountains and were captured by the group of giant spiders as desserts.

Only the hobbit with the highest magic resistance, Bilbo Baggins, was still conscious. Before the giant spider approached, he put on the Supreme Lord of the Rings and escaped the giant spider's attack.

Originally Bilbo could have chosen to leave, but his kind nature prevented him from making this choice.

So he went bravely into the cave, intending to free them all, but it was difficult for him alone, for the cocoon hung so high that Bilbo could not reach it.

So after some brainstorming, Bilbo decided to pick up some sharp flaky stones on the ground, break the cocoons hanging from the cocoons, and then cut the cocoons with the sword [needle] to rescue the dwarves inside.

But after seeing the elves, Bilbo's plans changed.

"I can't just leave like this, my companions are still hanging on!"

said Bilbo anxiously.

Legolas frowned, and looked up at Yuan Yu.

"Your companions ... are also hobbits?"

"..."

Bilbo's expression froze, and he suddenly remembered that Gandalf had said that the relationship between the dwarves and the elves was tense, but his words were more euphemistic, so Bilbo did not have an accurate judgment on the relationship between the two races.

It shouldn't be...he's not going to die, right?
Bilbo swallowed, and spoke cautiously.

"No, they are dwarves."
