Start with the Eye of Sauron

The huge monster at his feet made Bilbo stand still in place in fright, not daring to move a bit.

He had seen the nostrils of the dragon, and the closed eyes of the dragon.

"Bless God, don't wake up this thing. I, Bilbo, never begged you for anything, but let him sleep peacefully. I'll find that and I'll go, I'll find that and I'll go!"

Looking at the giant dragon beside him, Bilbo backed away silently. He had just walked up to its nostrils. If he woke up because of the smell of his feet, it would be a great joy.

Because of the nervousness just now, the movement was a little wider, and a lot of gold coins began to flow, and Bilbo's heart was in his throat, and he was almost crying.

Trying to calm himself down, the current fear can't solve any problems, it will only make him die faster, Bilbo backed away silently, looked away from the dragon, and started looking around again.

"Where is this damn thing?"

"The heart of the mountain? The heart of the mountain? Your mother called you home for dinner."

Once more a great chain of necklaces was torn from the pile of gold, and Bilbo set it aside, which was here to be trodden on, and was of no more value.

"You can find it in many jewels. It is so beautiful and so pure that any jewel will pale in comparison."

"It is the most precious wealth in the lonely mountain, and its value is difficult to measure."

Meditating on the reminder from Gandalf to himself, Bilbo walked among the piles of gold, his eyes wandering, letting himself forget the existence of the dragon.

Suddenly, a heap of gold rushed down quickly, and a low moan echoed in the palace. Bilbo stopped in fright, and stared at the heap of gold that was flowing down.

He saw the giant dragon's huge back. In this gold pile, the giant dragon turned over at will, and could cause countless gold coins to toss.

Just after the dragon trembled slightly, a jewel quickly slid down the pile of gold.

It flowed down the countless gold coins, and was almost hidden in the pile of gold, but Bilbo was still attracted by it for the short moment it appeared.

"That thing just now?"

Bilbo was sure that the jewel just now was worth going to see for himself.

However, the jewel was buried next to the dragon, and he only knew its approximate location.

Is it worth taking the risk?
"Fight!"

After a brief weighing, Bilbo made a choice.Time is very precious at the moment. He doesn't know how long the dragon will sleep, and he doesn't know when he can find the heart of the mountain. He should not let go of any opportunity.

Halflings are short in stature and weak in strength, but they are really brave!

Bilbo came to the back of the dragon step by step, and lowered his head to observe the piles of gold, looking for the approximate location of the jewel that had just been buried.

He slowly wiped away handfuls of gold coins with his hands, and searched beside the giant dragon.

At this moment, after the gold coins collided and flowed together, the dragon moved a little again, and a lot of gold covered the top of the back again, almost burying Bilbo.

Bilbo didn't dare to punch the monster directly, scolding it for hindering his work, so he could only curse inwardly, complaining a little about the huge dragon that added a huge workload to himself.

That's right, the gold coins directly covered his hands with many layers, so he could only take out his hands and slowly peel those gold coins away again.

Every time the dragon responded, Bilbo just lay down and waited quietly for the big guy to stand still again. After about half an hour, he finally smoothed out the huge pile of gold and approached him The goal.

"A long sword made entirely of gold."

The thing was so heavy that Bilbo could hardly lift it, so he could only push it away slowly with all his strength.

Looking down, Bilbo saw a round stone, which looked like transparent glass, and in the stone, there was an endless brilliance.

When it appeared, all the jewels around it paled, and Bilbo knew at last why Gandalf had described a jewel in such a way.

"Its value is immeasurable. It is the sum of all the wealth in the mountains, and it is the most precious wealth of human beings."

"Heart of the Mountain!"

Bilbo breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was full of excitement.

His stomach was already growling with hunger, even though he had eaten a very hearty meal before entering the Lonely Mountain.

Bilbo didn't know exactly how long it had been, but it seemed to him as long as a year while he was looking for treasure beside the monster and swimming in the sea of ​​gold.

At this moment, the dragon moved again. This time, the dragon moved a lot, and countless gold began to flow. Bilbo almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. The heart of the mountain fell from his hand. Roll up on the gold pile.

"No!"

Fear gripped Bilbo's heart tightly at this moment. Bilbo didn't care if he would wake up the big guy, and he quickly chased towards the heart of the rolling mountain.

He stepped on the flowing gold pile, and there were stone steps under the gold pile. Bilbo sat down on it and slid down with the gold.

Ignoring the heart of the mountain that fell aside, Bilbo turned his head and looked at the dragon behind him.

The dragon's eyes still did not open.

"Almost overturned."

Bilbo came to the Heart of the Mountain, picked it up, put it in his pocket, and after confirming that it was stable, he began to climb up to the top of the palace.

The gold kept flowing under his feet, and he focused all his attention on the giant dragon, and slowly moved to the side of the stone steps that had just come down.

Bilbo didn't know how long it took, but he finally stepped on the solid stone steps and climbed up step by step.

Bilbo held his breath, and moved his knees mechanically. The stone steps descended step by step under his feet, and the golden ocean below gradually sank.

He finally returned to the top of the corridor, looking at the huge golden sea below, he lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

Sweat rolled down his head, eyes closed, and Bilbo clenched his fists tightly.

"Get up, now is not the time to rest!"

Standing up, Bilbo staggered and walked out of the corridor. In front of him was the very friendly stone door.

Among the piles of gold, in the center of the endless treasures, the giant dragon that had been crawling for a long time opened its eyes. . .
