The heavens began with the python

Chapter 117 Trading
Bilbo, who escaped successfully, immediately told everyone that the dragon had awakened after joining Thorin and the others.

And showed that he failed to get the Arken gem.

Faced with such a situation, the dwarves became worried one after another, but they did not expect the worst result to emerge.

But when Bahrain proposed to temporarily go to the mine to escape, Sorin gave another plan.

"Let's go to the furnace."

"Lead the dragon over to the furnace and kill it."

"If everything is destined to burn, let us go to the sea of ​​fire together."

Although this method was fraught with danger, they really had no better choice right now, and with Sorin's right to speak in the team, they immediately made a complete decision.

Then everyone started to act.

Little did they know that just as they were still thinking about how to lure the dragon over, Xu Lei had already come to the furnace to wait.

After all, he doesn't have much energy to play with these dwarves.

After a few minutes.

Sorin Bilbo Balin and others rushed to the furnace, and before they had time to take a breath, they noticed Xu Lei's huge body hovering.

The pupils shrank suddenly.

Never expected this to be the case.

It was Bahrain, the oldest, who reacted first, and said with surprise on his face: "This is not the dragon Smaug. It seems that there have been some changes in the situation we have."

Hearing Balin's explanation, Sorin looked up again carefully.

He found that the existence in front of him had no wings, and his figure was smaller than the legendary dragon Smaug.

Thinking about it, the strength will not be too strong.

When Smaug guarded the treasury, they dared not retrieve the Arkon Stone for fear of its great power.

But now Smaug disappeared and was replaced by a giant snake.

This situation is different.

Maybe today is the day to retrieve the gem.

thought here.

Sorin only felt that his confidence was getting stronger.

I can't wait to take people forward now and start a fight with the giant snake.

Recapture the Arkon Gem belonging to the Dwarves.

But at this moment, a loud voice full of majesty and divinity suddenly exploded in their minds, like a basin of cold water instantly extinguishing Sorin's blood.

"You want to find Smaug the dragon."

"Unfortunately."

"It was eaten by me."

They looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

eaten?
How can it be?

Although the main evil dragon, Smaug, has a notorious reputation, his powerful strength is also obvious to all. How could he die so easily in the mouth of a giant snake.

The two are not on the same level at all.

Just as the dwarves questioned the veracity of the voice in their heads, Bilbo suddenly added:
"When I entered the treasure house, there was only this giant snake entrenched on top of the gold, silver and jewels, and I didn't see any giant dragon."

Having experienced so many things together, Thorin still believes in Bilbo's words.

more importantly.

Smaug loved his treasure dearly, and would never have allowed outsiders to stay in its treasure house if it had not fallen.

As such.

In other words, the voice that appeared in their minds just now was completely real.

And this can definitely be called a very terrible news.

Because it can easily kill the existence of Smaug, how terrifying its strength should be.

Maybe it will become a new disaster in Middle-earth.

Xu Lei didn't know that the dwarves were already worried. After briefly explaining Smaug's situation, he continued to convey his will to Thorin and the others.

"You may call me the Great Devouring Serpent."

"Different from that fellow Smaug."

"I'm not interested in the riches here."

"If you wish, I can even give you the Arkon Gem that belongs to the dwarves in the treasury."

really.

For dwarves, the Arken gem is their lifeblood.

Sorin, who was still a little lost at first, immediately filled his eyes after hearing this sentence, and raised his eyes and asked loudly.

"Are you really willing to give us back the Arkon Stone?"

But there is no such thing as a free lunch, and Thorin didn't realize it for the time being, but Balin, the oldest dwarf, knew it well.

But no matter what the price is, it is worth it to get back the Arken gem.

It can also be regarded as an explanation for their trip to the lonely mountain.

Then he spoke slowly.

"Great devouring snake, what do you want us dwarves to do?"

As the words fell, Sorin next to him suddenly realized that he had taken it for granted. Even if the other party was really not interested in wealth, he would still not easily return the gems to them.

So that there was a little shame and anger on his face.

I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy.

Seeing that Bahrain finally brought the topic to Zhenggen, Xu Lei no longer hesitated.

State your needs directly.

"It's simple."

"I will take all the war-goats of your dwarven tribe, and bring them to the Lonely Mountain, and the Arkon Stone will be yours."

Hearing this sentence, Sorin thought for a while that he was hallucinating.

I didn't expect such a condition to be offered in the end.

But you must know that the battle sheep is their mount, which is related to the combat effectiveness of the entire army, and its status is equivalent to that of the half-orc wolf army.

If you bring them all to the Lonely Mountain, they can be exchanged for Arken Gems.

It will inevitably lead to a decline in the overall strength of the Dwarf Legion.

If war breaks out.

What do they marry to win.

Under the quick thinking, Sorin's first reaction was to refuse, and at the same time he was ready to fight.

Anyway, they're going to take the Arkon back this time.

Even if the giant snake in front of him killed Smaug.

Bahrain is obviously also aware of Thorin's decision. Although he doesn't want to see the outbreak of the battle, he can only choose to refuse.

"terribly sorry."

"The great devouring snake, the war sheep is the most loyal partner of our dwarves. I am afraid that your request cannot be satisfied."

Xu Lei had long guessed that with the selfish character of the dwarves, he would never easily spend such a high price to redeem the Aken gem, so he was not surprised by Bahrain's answer.

At the same time, the small actions of Thorin and other dwarves were also noticed by him.

Basically know what the other party wants to do.

After all, although he told the fact that he killed Smaug, he didn't really show his strength in front of the dwarves.

So it is inevitable that some people will try it with a fluke mentality.

As everyone knows, try and die.

Faced with this situation, Xu Lei also felt that it was necessary for him to frighten these dwarves.

Make them aware of their situation.

"Since you dwarves have no intention of retrieving the Aken gem, I can only trade with the elves. I believe the elves King Thranduil will be very happy."

"Of course, you have another choice."

"Beat me!"

After Xu Lei finally expressed his will, he did not attack the dwarves in front of him, but swung his tail in front of them and slammed it on the tall furnace next to them.

In an instant, a heavy voice resounded through the hall.

Like a heavy hammer, knocking on everyone's heart.
