“Next, we will travel west for forty days through the Misty Mountains, passing through the Rohan Pass, and then east from there, we will reach our final destination – Mordor,” Gandalf said to the group.
now.
He left Rivendell.
The group was in a desolate, uninhabited mountain range.
Looking into the distance, one can see a towering, snow-white mountain peak that seems to be a giant beast perched on the only road ahead.
Gandalf, gripping his massive staff, added, "provided you go straight through the Moria Mines, which will save you half the time."
"So, what do you think?"
"Okay." Bai Yu thought for a moment and nodded first.
Although traversing the Moria Mine is dangerous, it can save at least half the time.
Moreover, he remembered that the Moria Mines should contain a wealth of hidden side quests.
For example, the orcs and a Balrog.
From both a moral and logical standpoint, it is worthwhile to go through with it.
"Alright, since Bai Yu has agreed, we have no objections."
The dwarf Gimli and the Elf Throne, who were traveling with them, had no objections.
During this period of time, Bai Yu has proven his strength with absolute power.
A strong person's judgment is quite convincing.
The group changed direction, abandoning their attempt to climb the Great Snow Mountain, and headed south along the Misty Mountains, preparing to pass through the Moria Mine below.
Moria is the largest underground city in the northwest of Middle-earth.
It contains a vast network of tunnels, rooms, mines, and grand halls.
For thousands of years, it has been the home of the descendants of the dwarf spirits.
Dwarves are very good at digging tunnels.
The tunnel network cuts through the highest peak, Mount Karanlas, and has endless steps leading from the bottom of the mountain to the top.
The Fellowship of the Ring can cross this highest peak simply by traversing the endless staircase.
Arrive at the next refuge, Lothlórien Forest.
The powerful magical queen Galadriel resides there.
Before dark.
The group rushed to the Moria Mine, climbed the steps, and finally arrived at the mountainside.
The steep peaks rise vertically, clearly carved out by dwarfs.
Gandalf came to the middle of the two green trees, and after feeling around on the wall for a while, he quickly found the entrance to the Moria Mine.
"Mellon!"
Ancient Elvish language resounded, and the star-studded Gates of Ihildin immediately opened, revealing a dark cave.
"Come on, let's go in."
Gandalf, with a serious expression, was the first to step into the dark entrance to the mine.
The group entered the gates of Ishildin by the moonlight.
Ahead was a wide stone staircase, carved out at some unknown time, sturdy and intact, showing no signs of erosion from the passage of time.
Continuing forward, the moonlight could not penetrate deeper.
Gandalf waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
He took out the white magic stone, placed it on the tip of his staff, twisted it twice like a light bulb, and then raised it high with one hand.
next moment.
Light dispels darkness and brings warmth.
Gandalf led the way, holding his staff.
The road ahead was illuminated as if it were daytime.
He frowned and said, “Be prepared. The dark underground world is vast, no city can compare to it... and with its complex terrain and winding roads, it will probably take us a long time to reach the exit.”
"Woo!"
Just then, a chilling wind suddenly swept through the dark underground world.
After the mournful wailing, the rumbling of horns sounded, faintly mixed with the howls and shrieks of wild beasts.
Orcs!
Gandalf's eyes sharpened, and he leaned down to look at the abyss below the cliff.
As the illumination spell was cast, countless dark shadows crawled closer.
The shadowy figures were humanoid monsters, clad in iron armor, with hideous and grotesque faces. Each carried swords and other weapons, and they swiftly climbed up the cliff face.
[Hidden side quest triggered - Clear out the orc hordes in the Moria Mines. Reward: 3000 points per person.]
Gandalf's illumination was like a lighthouse in the darkness, but it also revealed everyone's location.
Below the cliff.
Countless orcs surged in like a tide.
A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his scarlet eyes.
A piercing howl echoed through the vast underground space, sending chills down one's spine.
"Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Aragorn roared and drew his sword from his waist.
The Elf Prince Legolas was the first to take down the longbow.
Arrows rained down in a continuous stream.
I didn't see him aiming at it much.
With each bowshot, an orc would fall off the cliff.
The dwarf Gimli roared and swung his axe, cleaving the orc who tried to approach from the side in two: "Let these filthy creatures taste the might of this dwarf's axe!"
Shiraha's eyes sharpened, and he shouted at Yui and Haruno, "Yui, Haruno, Mirai, prepare for battle!"
"Hui, watch your surroundings, there might be an ambush!"
The orcs appearing so early is clearly not a good sign.
It is highly likely that two enemy squads had laid an ambush here in advance.
"understand!"
Kato Megumi's figure quietly blended into the shadows.
A massive stream of data flashed before my eyes.
Start scanning the entire mine pit.
"Pidgey, use Gale!"
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt on densely packed areas!"
While firing her gun, Yui Yuigahama quickly gave the order.
"Chirp!"
Pidgeot flew out of its Poké Ball, quickly spreading its large wings and flapping them violently.
Move - Tornado!
Rumble!
The powerful gust of wind instantly blew the orc climbing at the front off at an alarming speed.
This caused many people to fall directly into the abyss.
The smaller Pikachu simply jumped onto a boulder, its cheeks puffing out electric sacs, flashing electricity frequently, shouting, "Pikachu!!"
Rumble!
A thick chain of lightning roared out.
It exploded amidst the dense crowd of orcs.
The smell of burning immediately filled the air.
Yang Nai quickly raised his hand, chanting a prayer of holy light: "Spell Shield!"
A soft yet sturdy golden shield of light instantly enveloped Aragorn and Gimli at the forefront, shielding them from several stray arrows.
"recover!"
She unleashed another wave of healing, relieving the fatigue of everyone from the continuous battle.
Now, as a priest in the World of Warcraft system, Yang Nai's strength is vastly different from before, and she can provide great assistance to the team.
that's it.
The Fellowship of the Ring and Bai Yu and his companions, taking advantage of the terrain and their individual strength, steadily suppressed the orcs' offensive.
However, Bai Yu's vigilance grew stronger and stronger.
These orcs' attacks, though seemingly fierce, lacked effective organization and were more like suicide missions.
Or rather, it's deliberately draining their physical strength and attention.
After reaching the fourth stage of the Extreme Realm, he awakened the Light of the Mind, which gave him the ability to anticipate his enemy's moves.
Since the mind has already anticipated it, the reality is unlikely to be far off.
"Wait, everyone be careful! I've detected someone approaching us..."
at this time.
Kato Megumi seemed to have noticed something, her delicate brows furrowed, and she was just about to speak up to remind him.
next moment.
A sinister voice suddenly rang out from the depths of the mine.
"Wow, what a lively party!"
Everyone looked up at the same time, only to find that a real person with bandages wrapped around his face and body slowly walked out from a dark corner of the mine.
at the same time.
Beside him stood two other powerful figures.
One of them was a short, strange man with a crater-like head, who was none other than the top-tier cursed spirit from the Curse Return World - Louhu.
The personal system he redeemed was none other than the Abyss Lord from the Diablo series.
This allowed the cursed spirit to reach new heights in its control over fire and magma.
The ominous aura emanating from his body was no longer that of a cursed spirit.
Instead, it was a mixture of sulfurous stench and hellfire, its oppressive aura comparable to that of an elite demon.
On the right stands a tall, humanoid figure with twisted tree branches growing from its eyes.
Another top-tier cursed spirit—Flower Guardian.
"Necromancer? No, something even more disgusting!"
Gandalf looked at the real man with a solemn expression.
He sensed an extremely intense aura of death and distortion emanating from this person.
