Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 143 The Hobbit and a Strange Beginning (13)

After returning from A Nightmare on Elm Street, none of the three mentioned anything again.

Zhang Jie still stayed in his room, isolating himself, Chu Xuan was still immersed in research in the laboratory, and Zhuang Boshi continued his devilish training to train others.

The others were complaining bitterly about Zhuang Boshi's continued devilish training and did not notice anything unusual between the three of them.

Time passed in a flash, and everyone stood under the big ball of light again.

Looking at the ambitious Zheng Zha, the worried Zhang Jie, the stern Chu Xuan, and other teammates who didn't know what was going to happen, Zhuang Boshi took a deep breath.

Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.

As long as the plot of The Hobbit doesn't go terribly wrong, all that's left is to do our best and leave the rest to fate.

Whether you can survive the Demon Team depends on this time!

"Enter the beam within thirty seconds, transfer target lock, Hobbit begins teleportation..."

Wandering in that state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, I didn’t know how long had passed. It seemed like only a moment, yet also like an eternity.

In short, when Zhuang Boshi and others opened their eyes, they were already in a bush.

The sky was pitch black, with frogs croaking all around. However, a few hundred meters ahead of them, there was a bright light, and it was a small town with a unique shape.

It is located next to mountains and water, and the scenery is picturesque. Even at night, it is brightly lit, and there are many half-human-height dwarfs constantly shuttling between the houses that look like caves.

"The Hobbit is the prequel to The Lord of the Rings. I didn't expect it to be in this world." Zhuang Boshi was the first person in the Zhongzhou team to come to his senses.

He looked around and said in a deliberately puzzled tone.

Through Zhang Jie, he actually knew the relevant information about this world a long time ago.

"The Lord of the Rings prequel, there is actually a prequel to The Lord of the Rings!" Zheng Zha was the second one to wake up.

He scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"Of course, Tolkien had already written The Hobbit in 1937, but The Lord of the Rings wasn't published until 1954."

"The Hobbit just hasn't been made into a movie yet, and none of the horror movies we've experienced have been copied exactly according to the movie plots. It's normal for the reincarnation world and the movies to be different." Zhuang Boshi made amends for the Lord God without changing his expression.

"Is that so?" Zheng Zha suddenly realized and looked at the others: "Huh? There are no newcomers. Is this horror movie that easy?!"

Now the Zhongzhou team has only ten people including Cheng Xiao.

According to the current combat strength of the Zhongzhou team, in the absence of internal strife, the difficulty of a horror movie with ten pure veterans would not be much more difficult than a group tour.

Although as long as the team has passed the training period, in the later stages, the correlation between the number of people and the difficulty of the horror movie will become lower and lower.

[Main Quest: Protect the Lonely Mountain team and successfully reach Lonely Mountain. Reward: a D-level side story, 800 points. After reaching Lonely Mountain, the second stage of the quest begins. Recapture Lonely Mountain and defeat the Orc army. Return within three hours. Reward: a B-level side story, 5,000 points.]

[World Restrictions: The use of high-powered lethal weapons is prohibited, including gunpowder weapons, Gauss weapons, electromagnetic weapons, kinetic weapons, anti-energy weapons, and laser weapons.]

One D and one B are overall rewards rather than rewards for all members. It seems that the difficulty of the main task is indeed very low.

After all, in the original book, relying on the major forces in Middle-earth is enough to defeat Smaug and the orc army, and there are no other teams interfering, so the overall plot will not change too much.

It is worth noting that if the main task is simple, there will be more room for developing side tasks.

The Lord of the Rings is such a well-structured world with rich hidden plots. Whether it is Aragorn who is still traveling in the north, or the White Council and the Lord Sauron, if it is well developed, it will definitely be rewarding.

It seems that the next world will indeed be against the Demon Team, giving the Zhongzhou Team a world with great potential.

However, you have banned so many weapons. Ilúvatar, you must love the creatures here so much.

Zhuang Boshi collected his thoughts and turned to look at his teammates.

Ming Yanwei put on a shawl over her holy robe. She lifted her veil, revealing her beautiful face.

It seemed that in Middle-earth, her appearance was more refined and radiated a divine aura.

After all, in the world of The Lord of the Rings, the elves are the firstborn children of the creator god Ilúvatar, the darlings of the world who accompany the gods until the end of the world, and are the main melody for a long time.

Ming Yanwei, the high elf, came to this world as if she were at home.

Zhao Yingkong jumped onto the oak tree and looked at the small house in the distance: "This must be the Shire. The Lord God threw us at the beginning of the story." Zhuang Boshi looked at Zhao Yingkong in surprise. He didn't expect that this little girl had also read "The Hobbit".

But judging from her usual literary look of a girl holding a book, she has indeed read a lot of novels.

Zhan Lan also happily caught Zhao Yingkong who jumped down from the tree in a princess hug, which made the little girl blush.

Zhan Lan had a weird auntie look on her face: "Yingkong, I didn't expect you to have read the original novel of The Hobbit. I was so overwhelmed by reading the English version at that time."

Zheng Zha's eyes lit up. "Zhan Lan, tell me about the plot of The Hobbit! Although the world we experience is increasingly deviating from the plot, there's nothing wrong with understanding the original work!"

Zhan Lan rolled her eyes at him. "It's been a while since I read this novel, and I've almost forgotten some of the plot. The prequel is far less complex than the original, and it only has 200,000 words."

"The story also begins in the Shire. Over a hundred years ago, the Dwarf capital of Lonely Mountain was occupied by a dragon named Smaug, and the Dwarves fled to Middle-earth."

"More than a hundred years later, the dwarf prince Thorin planned to retake the Lonely Mountain and sought help from the grey-robed wizard Gandalf."

"Bilbo, the uncle of the protagonist Frodo, was invited by Gandalf to join the dwarf group in Lonely Mountain, and then the group went through various adventures."

"Bilbo also picked up the Lord of the Rings during his adventure. After arriving at the Lonely Mountain, they first united with the humans of Lake Town and killed the dragon Smaug with a black arrow. Finally, a great battle broke out between the dwarves, elves, humans, and orcs at the foot of the Lonely Mountain. That's basically the story."

"Anyway, it's a more traditional adventure-themed Western fantasy story."

Middle-earth, although according to Tolkien's description, it is Earth.

However, the area of ​​Middle-earth, where the story mainly takes place, is not very large, about the same size as Western Europe.

In terms of world level, it is quite high.

After all, the creator god of this world, Iru Ilúvatar, is always watching the stories happening on this continent.

A large group of Valar live in Aman, and it can be said that demigods are everywhere in Middle-earth, and legends are worse than dogs.

However, according to the plan, they would not cause any impact on the music of Ilúvatar, so the great god should not be allowed to take action.

"We can't use so many weapons! What kind of rotten rule is this?" Zheng Zha said with a headache after seeing this new rule. "Zero's Gauss sniper rifles and the Astartes' high-tech weapons are all useless. Isn't this like going back to the pre-liberation era?"

"I didn't expect the Lord God to actually ban technological weapons. If a team relying on technological enhancements enters, won't they be completely ruined?"

Chu Xuan took out the Gauss rifle and pulled the trigger towards the open space. A high-speed bullet shot out from the barrel, but the speed was getting slower and slower.

In the end, it was as powerful as a slingshot and couldn't even make a mark on the ground.

He put away his pistol and said calmly, "It's about prohibiting weapons from causing damage to the world, not prohibiting the weapons themselves from operating logically."

Zhan Lan closed his eyes and performed a mental scan, adding, "My mental scan is still usable, and our mission is just to follow the Lonely Mountain team."

"With our mental scans, we shouldn't encounter a large group of orcs. This will help us avoid our lack of mass destruction firepower."

Zheng Zha clapped his hands and said happily, "Yes, we have mental scanning, so we are not afraid of being surrounded by orcs in terms of intelligence."

"Thinking about it this way, as long as we stick together in this world, it will be as easy as traveling."

"The last horror movie featured Set. This time, they won't bring out some weird evil god to torment us again, right?"

"Stop talking, Zheng Zha! You were such a jinx last time!" Saito couldn't stop laughing.

I saw everyone talking to each other and laughing.

As time passed, Zhang Jie was still hesitant and did not move.

Zhuang Boshi sighed helplessly and took off his sunglasses.

At that moment, his eyes became empty and lifeless.

Immediately afterwards, the magical slashing technique quickly condensed in his hands.

Without any hesitation, the invisible slash was launched towards Zheng Zha.

The show has officially begun.
