Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 155 Towards Lonely Mountain (13)

Zero discovered that riding a dragon also had a problem, which was that he had no way of telling the direction in the sky.

The comfort was extremely poor. Even the flying broom experimental model No. 1 that he had experienced before was not as bumpy and uncomfortable.

He could only helplessly hold on to Leng Long's back, sticking out his furry little head and looking around.

But he was not familiar with the terrain below. He could only confirm that he had indeed crossed the mountains and arrived at a plain.

Just when he was anxiously trying to control Leng Long's direction.

Whoosh!
An arrow hit Leng Long's head directly, ending his life instantly.

Leng Long didn't even let out a scream as he just fell down crookedly.

This sudden change startled Lingdian, and he quickly lay down on Lenglong's back to reduce his presence.

As an experienced sniper, he knows the essence of long-range sniping.

Below was a dense mountain forest. As Leng Long's body slanted through the layers of dense branches and leaves, the trees were knocked to the ground by its body.

Its body drew irregular tracks, tearing a temporary "passage" in the woods.

Finally, with a loud "bang", Leng Long's body fell heavily to the ground in the woods.

A cloud of dust rose from the impact site, and the surrounding bushes were flattened.

A shallow pit was smashed into the ground, and soil splashed everywhere, splashing onto the nearby tree trunks and grass.

The moment before touching the ground, Zero Point had already flown to the nearby woods, hiding in the dark, observing the changes in the outside world.

Soon, a man who looked like a ranger came here. He was carrying a bow and arrow and carefully examined Leng Long's body.

"Why is Leng Long here?" he muttered to himself, somewhat confused.

Cold dragons have always lived in the Northern Wastes and the Frod, rarely crossing the Mountains of Angmar.

How could it appear near Fengyun Hills?

After checking, nothing seemed to be found. The man was about to leave when he suddenly turned around, drew his bow and shot an arrow.

Whoosh!
An arrow was directly stuck in the tree trunk next to Lingdian. The arrow body was deep in the trunk and the tail feathers were still trembling.

"My friend, since we discovered the cold dragon together, why don't you come out?"

Lingdian knew that this was just a warning. After all, this man was able to shoot Leng Long's head at high speed from hundreds of meters away. It was impossible for him to miss the target at such a close distance.

He clenched the blood badge in his hand and jumped down from the tree.

The man was slightly surprised to see Lingdian with black hair and black eyes, but he did not let go of the bow in his hand. "Eastern barbarian?"

The Eastrunners are a group of humans in the far east of Middle-earth, loyal to Sauron. They are usually found in the Grasslands of Rohan and rarely cross the Misty Mountains.

So the man was not very sure and did not draw his bow and shoot the arrow immediately.

Lingdian shook his head: "I am a ranger from the south, you can call me Zero."

"The grey-robed wizard Gandalf hired me to help the dwarves complete a mission." Lingdian made an excuse.

"Gandalf?" Hearing this familiar name, the man in front of him released his bow and arrow and lowered his guard.

He took the initiative to introduce himself: "You can call me Aragorn. Are you talking about Prince Thorin's quest to return to the Lonely Mountain?"

Lingdian nodded, looking at the mature man in front of him.

Aragon.
The Human King in the movie, the final king who ruled Gondor.

Is he just an ordinary ranger now?

"But I heard that they left Windhills several days ago. Have you fallen behind?" Aragorn said very gently.

Sure enough, they have already set off.

Lingdian had a headache because he had missed Ciel's gathering.

He quickly said, "I was delayed due to some things. Can you tell me their direction? I need to catch up with the team as soon as possible."

Aragorn enthusiastically unfolded a map and pointed a direction on it.

"They should have taken this road. Just a few days ago, I heard from the people in the tavern that a group of Orc wolf riders caught up with them."

"But they were all killed by one of the men wielding a crimson long sword. There were hundreds of orcs!"

Ok?
Zero was stunned for a moment, seeing the man with the red long sword that Aragorn mentioned.

Could it be Zheng Zha?
Zheng Zha is not dead after all!
Zero hinted at this and said deliberately with dissatisfaction: "It seems that Gandalf has hired a lot of humans like me. I wonder if he can afford the gold coins."

Aragorn smiled. "Don't worry. Even the hobbits of the Shire know that if you retake the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves will give each of you a cartload of gold."

"Of course, provided they are generous enough."

"And I heard that there was a hobbit in that group, and the rest were dwarves."

"I can definitely afford the gold coins."

Lingdian was a little confused again. Was Zheng Zha the only one in the Gushan team?

Did something really happen to other people?

But why did Zheng Zha follow Gandalf, and why did he appear in the Northern Wasteland.

The distance between the Shire and the Northern Wilds is very long.

How can we cross the
Lingdian glanced at Lenglong's body on the ground.

It’s such a long distance and we have to cross mountains, so we have to fly.

He immediately thought of the two men with glasses who could fly in the team, and suddenly felt a little jealous.

Sure enough, such a weird start is closely related to them!

We must catch up with Zheng Zha as soon as possible!
But he is currently at least five days behind Zheng Zha.

"Dry!"

Cheng Xiao now regrets very much why he wanted to be the pirate king and had to go north by water.

He originally thought that this waterway should be relatively safe, but he did not know that the situation in Gondor and Mordor had changed dramatically.

Just two days ago, he had just driven the pirate ship into the Anduin River and stood on the mast with high spirits. He had not yet had time to make his judgment on Zhang Jie and his middle school declaration of wanting to be the Pirate King.

A stone hurled directly broke his mast, causing him to fall suddenly into the water.

Seeing this situation, the pirates fled all at once.

He could only swim out of the water, find a sampan, and slide forward by himself.

But the further north he went, the more dire the situation became.

Gondor on the west side of the Anduin River went crazy for some unknown reason and sent a lot of warships to patrol the river.

When encountering an unfamiliar ship, they would indiscriminately shoot a volley of arrows at it.

Cheng Xiao was in great pain. The situation became even more chaotic near Minas Tirith.

It was unknown where the enemy was fighting with the Gondor navy. Blood was flowing and corpses were everywhere. The entire river was filled with corpses.

Cheng Xiao, who was still eating grilled fish, turned green and almost vomited.

As a last resort, he could only walk ashore on the east side.

But not long after he walked out, a group of orc cavalry riding on wolves came over.

He immediately trembled like a little rabbit surrounded by wolves.

Fortunately, Cheng Xiao has strong combat ability. Although he cannot use the Tuoladuo armor for a long time, the first-level gene lock and internal force blessing still allow him to barely survive.

However, after killing ten wolf riders, the number of enemies increased, and Cheng Xiao, who was not wearing any armor, was also injured in many places.

He had no choice but to jump into the water again. Fortunately, he was proficient in internal energy and could hold his breath. He stayed under the water until the orcs left before surfacing.

But after what happened, he did not dare to be active in the land of Mordor on the east side.

On the west side, Gondor's heavy cavalry was still patrolling back and forth.

"Why?" Cheng Xiao shouted weakly while soaking in the water.

"Something's wrong, why is it so chaotic now?"

Cheng Xiao had never read the novel, and although he didn't know the specific plot of The Hobbit, according to Zhan Lan, the entire Middle-earth should be in a period of peace now.

But now something is very wrong. The orcs and humans of Gondor are clearly fighting on both sides of the Anduin River.

As a strange black-haired man coming north from the river, he was naturally surrounded and killed by the two men.

The humans of Gondor thought Cheng Xiao was a pirate and would not give him a chance to explain.

The orcs killed humans as soon as they saw them. Who knows if they were scouts from Gondor.

He didn't dare go ashore, but he saw Gondor's heavy cavalry and Mordor's orc wolf riders patrolling on both sides of the river.

With his small body, he would easily fall into the dilemma of being chased even if he got ashore.

Just as Cheng Xiao was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, a large ship came quickly from the south.

Cheng Xiao quickly grabbed the wooden board, rolled his eyes, and lay motionless, pretending to be dead.

As expected, the big ship passed by without paying any attention to the corpses everywhere, but because of the fluctuations in the water flow, the corpses on the river began to gather together.

The ugly face of the orc, which was blistered by water, looked at Cheng Xiao affectionately.

Cheng Xiao could even see a maggot crawling in and out of the orc's mouth, and the stench of a rotting corpse filled his nostrils.

Cheng Xiao tried hard to suppress the urge to vomit, but did not dare to move.

Although he is now the only two A-level enhancers in the Zhongzhou team, his combat power is only slightly stronger than Saito Ichi without armor.

If you encounter a certain number of enemies, you will easily be killed.

Wearing armor can easily cause damage to his body due to the strain it places on his body.

Without Zhuang Boshi's reversal technique to treat him, if he was injured in front of Gushan, it would mean that it would be difficult for him to make any progress in the main mission.

After all, dealing with Smaug or the orc army was too difficult for a lightly armored warrior like him.

However, at this rate, we move forward one kilometer and back half a kilometer.

——If this goes on, when will I be able to reach Gushan?
After killing many scattered orcs in the Misty Mountains, Zhao Yingkong finally found the entrance to the Moria Mines.

But she looked at the door that was obviously destroyed from the inside, and Zhao Yingkong walked in with an expressionless face.

As one of the only two people in the Zhongzhou team who had read the original novel of The Hobbit, she did not remember that such a situation would occur in Moria at this time.

Could it be Zhang Jie?
When Zhao Yingkong thought of that man, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable murderous intent.

When we first entered this world, everyone was still talking and laughing.

But now, everything is gone!

There are always people who will carelessly crush everything she cherishes.

That contemptuous attitude is exactly the same as Zhao Zhuikong's!
Zhao Yingkong gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.

Anger and sadness can't solve anything. She must rush to Lonely Mountain and retrieve the Resurrection Scripture to revive her teammates!

The reason why Zhao Yingkong came to Moria was not to take a shortcut. Without the dwarf to lead the way, it would be impossible for her to find a way out in the intricate underground tunnels of Moria.

She came for the Fire Demon.

In order to revive her teammates, she must try every possible means and seize every opportunity to explore the side plots and bonus points in the world.

And the Balrog and Moria must have side plots that can be triggered.

But after walking for a distance, Zhao Yingkong found that it was very quiet here.

It was not the terrifying silence that comes when the enemy is hiding in the dark, but the deathly silence that follows a great battle.

The broken rock walls and the charred tunnels looked like the scene after a battle between two powerful men.

There was a big battle here, just recently.

With the perception of Liuku Xianzei and Fenghou Qimen, she could only feel a burning heat that had just dissipated, as well as nothingness and darkness.

And there is not even a living orc here.

All Zhao Yingkong saw along the way were hundreds of orcs burned to charcoal.

Based on the current situation, it can be speculated that the Balrog not only awakened early, but also slaughtered the orcs, who are also dark forces, and destroyed half of Moria.

Then, the orcs who had originally occupied this place had to flee to Moria after suffering heavy losses.

Then a powerful demigod entered Moria and fought a great battle with the Balrog.

As someone who has read the original novel, Zhao Yingkong immediately thought that this plot deviation caused by unknown reasons would have a huge impact on the entire Battle of Lonely Mountain.

It was the pale orc Azog who originally occupied Moria. It was he who came out in full force and attacked the Lonely Mountain in order to completely destroy Durin's lineage.

But now Azog's forces have suffered heavy losses and have been driven out of their lair like the dwarves.

Will he choose to continue to the Lonely Mountain and risk everything, or settle elsewhere in the Misty Mountains?

Even if he went to Lonely Mountain, I'm afraid the number of troops he mobilized would not be as large as in the original book.

This is not the result of the Lord God's deliberate interference.

Zhao Yingkong quickly confirmed this.

The Lord God will not deliberately weaken the villain's power, especially when the Zhongzhou team is obviously on the side of the dwarves.

So, what exactly affected the Balrog?

Zhao Yingkong looked at the ground and took a step forward.

Whatever it is, you have to go see it!
