Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

"We're almost there, don't make any noise."

At the main entrance of Lonely Mountain, Thorin walked in front, approaching quietly with a group of dwarves.

"I remember the way here, follow me."

"Why is there a cave here?"

Halfway through the way, Thorin frowned suddenly.

"It has never appeared in my memory."

"Well, I think I may have seen it, of course, in other places. Don't you think the style of this cave is a little familiar?"

A dwarf mentioned it.

"Is it Levi?"

"Let's go in!"

Without hesitation, Thorin drew his sword, rushed to the front first, and walked into the meeting hall.

Boom!

The faint sound of collision and impact came from somewhere inside, occasionally mixed with a few dragon roars and flames.

"No way?"

Someone vaguely guessed what was going on inside.

The group listened to the movement and approached again until a very abrupt stone wall appeared in front of them.

"That's not in my memory either."

Thorin shook his head slowly: "I remember this is the corridor leading to the cellar, it has never had such a wall, and it's this color."

"The same color as Levi's wall." Bofur reminded.

"Look at the puddle here, it's just two meters long and two meters wide, I can almost be sure who did it."

A dwarf squatted in front of the puddle and dipped his hand in it.

The water was so clear that only the fountains made by the elves could compare with it.

"There is a cave over there too!"

After discovering the passage again, the dwarves gave up their exploration of other places and surrounded the cave entrance.

Someone poked his head over and saw that it was pitch black inside, with no light source, and it seemed that there seemed to be some gravel at the end.

"Do you want to go in?"

Thorin nodded and was about to lead the way forward. Suddenly, a red light lit up from the end of the cave. The alarm bells in his heart rang wildly. Thorin immediately rolled to the side and shouted, "Back off!"

Hula--

The flames poured out from the cave and went out in an instant. A dwarf walked a step slower and had his beard singed.

"You can't kill me!"

The roar of the dragon came, followed by a series of huge noises.

"Go in and take a look!"

Thorin couldn't help it and rushed in immediately.

This is the voice of the dragon!

"Hurry up, follow!"

The dwarves followed closely.

Whoosh--

A flaming arrow pierced Smaug's eyes fiercely, but it didn't even break the eyelids, let alone ignite the fire dragon.

Obviously, neither the flame attachment nor the fire arrow can work on this fire dragon.

After all, it is a fire dragon.

Moreover, just as Smaug himself said, its dragon scales are harder than ten layers of steel shields, and the armor value is even higher than the upper limit. It is not pierced by ordinary bows and crossbows.

The only weakness is the small gap where a scale is missing at the heart, but Levi has almost used up half of the bow's durability, and he couldn't even shoot down the diamond stuck on it, let alone cause any damage.

"You really scared me, Steve, I almost thought you were a powerful warrior from the ancient era."

"You may know some magical magic, but compared with those people in my memory, it's still far behind."

"Ah - your sword may be good, but it's a pity that you are the user, and your strength is not even half of the warrior I killed that year."

Smaug said sarcastically, while fighting, he did not forget to use his chatterbox attribute. Obviously, he has not given up trying to influence Levi with dragon language.

"You seem to have said too much. If I were you, shut your stinky mouth, or I'll stab you with my sword and you'll never be able to open your mouth again."

An arrow wrapped in flames suddenly shot out, and Smaug bit it and swallowed it.

"This snack tastes good. Do you have more?"

I'm really, I--

Dang!

Levi, who was so angry, chopped Smaug's big claws with a sword, making it jump back, obviously feeling pain.

"Despicable human!"

A man and a dragon fought again, and the sound and vibration of metal collisions continued in the dark corridor.

Since discovering that Levi seemed to be immune to fire, Smaug rarely spit out dragon breath. Occasionally, he still spit it out out of habit. More often, he attacked by hitting and biting. The teeth that shone with metallic luster like steel swords and the claws like spears were very harmful.

A big mouth biting Levi's armor could even make him lose blood!

Whether it was biting, claw piercing, or tail sweeping, they could indeed shake Levi's health bar, but that was all. Compared with Sauron, the strength of these attacks was still too light. He didn't even need to take medicine. He only needed to eat ordinary food to maintain his fullness, and he could cope with it by relying on natural blood recovery and a little movement and dodging.

In contrast, Smaug's health was slowly and steadily decreasing at an imperceptible speed.

Although Levi's health would also decrease, it would always come back, but Smaug's health had not been positive for a long time.

If he could keep grinding like this, let alone chop it to death.

He only needed to find an opportunity to block its retreat, and then it would be a dead end, but it was still a bit difficult to do this.

"I have to admit that you have some skills."

As the fight went on, Smaug changed his strategy. He no longer chased Levi blindly, but moved around and adopted a guerrilla strategy.

Smaug is a real living thing after all, with his own thoughts. He is not one of those NPCs in the game that only follow fixed logic to act. He can only chase the player and attack, and he can't do anything to the player just by building a high place and blocking the position.

When it senses danger, it will run and hide. When it can't take advantage, it will temporarily retreat. When it seems that it can't kill Levi at once, it will try other strategies slowly, instead of just using one mode to deal with it mechanically.

The dragon language spell that has been lingering in my ears is the best example. Even if the spell doesn't work, trash talk can affect the opponent's mentality.

"My king, am I dreaming?"

At this time, a group of dwarves suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, and there was a hobbit surrounded in the middle.

"Levi is fighting with that... that giant dragon that's over a hundred meters long?"

"They look evenly matched."

Seeing the scene in front of them, the dwarves were once again impressed by the fighting power shown by Levi. This guy is simply stronger when facing a stronger opponent. His specific fighting power is unknown.

Even Bilbo opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to describe it. This scene has exceeded his cognition.

However, there is still one exception.

"Compared to these, I am more concerned about why he woke up the dragon. This has disrupted all our plans!"

Thorin felt a little annoyed and puzzled. Didn't they agree to steal the gems and gather the army to attack again? Why did they do it in advance?

"Look what I smell, that's the smell of dwarves!"

"Huh?"

Levi turned around suddenly and found that there was a group of guys staying at the entrance of the cave. He immediately felt something was wrong.

"Go back!"

Along with his shout, there was also a dragon's breath. Although the incident happened suddenly, the dwarves' reaction was not covered. They pulled Bilbo and scattered, rolling or jumping, and dodged the attack in an unsightly way.

"Let's go!"

After placing a bucket of water on the wall and extending it down to form a water curtain for protection, Levi quickly pulled the dwarves back and returned to the conference room.
