In the forest.

Looking at the expedition members riding on horses not far away, they were smiling.

Bien spoke coldly, "Before you enter the dark forest, you must let go of my horses, and they can get them back by themselves."

Gandalf nodded and smiled, "Of course, we are very happy to get your help, I promise you."

While the two were talking.

A raven with red eyes and black all over his body stopped on the top branch of a big tree opposite.

The raven casually looked at the expedition below and rattled a few times before quickly spreading its wings and flew away.

Looking at the flying raven, Gandalf's face was not very good-looking.

You should know that two days ago, I heard the harsh and unpleasant screams just now, and the orc scout team came to me.

The skinned man Biwen dealt a lot with the orcs, and immediately noticed something strange and said, "You are probably being monitored..."

Gandalf was still chatting with Bion.

In the team, everyone was waiting patiently.

Morgan was sitting on a snow-white horse checking his equipment.

A high-level elf sword was hung on one side of his waist, and a short sword was tied on the other side.

There was a dagger on his lower body's little feet.

A longbow and an empty arrow pouch on his back.

The arrow has not been able to be replenished since the last arrow was used up a few days ago.

Even if you are in the place where the skinned man Biweng is replaced, there are no arrows to replenish.

The best archery technique is unavailable.

Fortunately, he mastered his proficiency in the White Crow swordsmanship very quickly during this period.

In addition to the last time, the attributes were greatly enhanced, and there were four special skills to accompany them.

Morgan's current melee strength has completely evaluated his strength in ranged archery, and even won.

Facing the next dangerous itinerary of the dark forest, it is also more safe and secure.

Just thinking about the wood elves in the memory plot in my mind, Morgan was a little worried.

He did not want to be arrested, nor did he want to count his life safety on the kindness of others.

However, the route has been determined, and Morgan is just a bounty hunter who uses money to do business.

Even if it is of extraordinary strength, it has a good position in the team.

But once Morgan wants to get involved in the team route and other things, it is almost impossible.

Gandalf would not allow it, and Thorin Oak Shield would not allow it.

I can only take one step at a time.

Morgan thought secretly while chewing the beef jerky given to the team by Biyon.

"Aowu..."

At this moment, a familiar howling sound suddenly rang out.

"No, this is the voice of the Gundaba wolf..."

"Damn it, the orcs won't catch up again..."

"It's time for us to leave..."

"Sorin..."

The dwarves spoke one after another.

The horses under him also began to feel a little anxious because of the howling of the wolf.

Thorin Oak Shield couldn't wait at once and immediately shouted to the distance: "Gandalf, it's time for us to leave!"

Gandalf and Bionn, who heard the howling of the wolf, also changed their expressions.

Bien immediately spoke, "Let's go immediately, while there is still sunshine."

Gandalf nodded, and walked towards the team with heavy face.

Not long after.

The expedition team rushed out of the forest and into the vast wilderness after more than a dozen cavalry.

Fortunately, it was morning.

The weather in late autumn is also very good.

The autumn sun is high, the wind is light and the clouds are light.

In such weather, the first thing the orcs have to face when they go out is the annoying sunshine.

The vast and flat roads with sparse trees are easy to walk on.

Especially when riding a horse.

The Skin Swap Man is not too far from the dark forest that the Expedition Team is going to.

It only took half a day.

It's almost afternoon.

The members of the expedition team who had been running for several hours saw a vast forest from afar.

"Is there a dark forest ahead?"

"certainly..."

"Thanks to the God of Destiny for our favor, we finally arrived safely..."

"Yes, I didn't see the orc this time, so lucky..."

“…”

As they got closer to the big forest ahead, the dwarves began to talk.

Just looking at the big forest ahead and listening to the dwarves behind him talking about luck, Gandalf's face became heavier and couldn't help but complain in his heart, only luck can make a ghost.

Soon, when the expedition members actually arrived in front of the big forest, everyone could see that something was wrong with the forest in front of them.

The trees are yellow, the soil is gray and black, the birds are not heard, and there is no green at all.

This is not like a normal forest at all, but more like a withered, sick, and decayed forest.

It was almost afternoon, and the Mid-Autumn Sun in the sky was hidden in the thick clouds and disappeared.

The sky was gloomy and the cold wind blew the clothes of the people riding on the horses.

Gandalf took the lead in dismounting and walked towards a road ahead where the man-made traces could be seen clearly.

Gandalf looked as he walked, standing in the middle of a dilapidated but delicate road, Gandalf turned around and shouted to the people behind him, "This is the gate of the elves, and the road through the dark forest is here."

Soon, Gandalf thought of something again and continued to shout, "You can come down, take down the package, and then put the horses back to their masters."

Gandalf shouted and continued to move forward, observing the situation of the Elf Gate.

When everyone behind him heard Gandalf say this, they quickly got off the horse and sorted out their own packages.

"This forest feels like it's sick, what do you think..."

"Indeed, it looks uncomfortable..."

"There is something wrong with this forest. Is there no other way..."

"You have to ask Gandalf and Thorin..."

"We are not afraid of half-orcs, but also a forest that is sick..."

“…”

The dwarves were busy and talking.

Morgan took the kettle and a small package, took the blanket from the horse's back, untied the reins, and finally slapped the horse's butt.

Watching the white horse run far forward.

Morgan also responded: "Of course we are not afraid of trouble, but it is better to avoid trouble. After all, the time is very close to the day of Turin."

At this time, Gandalf, who seemed to have discovered something, walked up with a serious face and shouted loudly to Bahrain, who was unbuttoning his horse, "Leave my horse, I will use it."

After the words came, the others immediately looked over.

Bilbo immediately asked, "Gandalff, aren't you going to abandon us?"

Gandalf shook his head with a heavy face: "If it's not impossible, I don't want to."

Morgan walked forward and spoke, "Do you have to leave?"

He has memories of the following plot.
To be continued...
