If it weren't for the invisibility of the magic ring, he might have become one of those slaughtered!

"But he's not human, not..."

Gollum realized that Bilbo was different from the human knights he had ever seen.

Well, although hobbits and humans are close relatives, there is indeed a big difference in appearance between the two. Not only is there a huge gap in height, but hobbits have sharper ears than humans and are closer to elves.

——Although Gulu used to be a hobbit, but after a long time, he has forgotten everything about himself, and even his own clan has completely forgotten.

This discovery gave Gollum renewed courage, believing that the creature in front of him could not have the same power as the magic knights.

"What is he, baby? What is he?"

The monster approached cautiously and tentatively, asking to himself.

Bilbo watched this scene, and realized that there seemed to be some problem with the spirit of this monster.

But he didn't have the confidence to kill Gollum, so he could only try his best to deal with him.

While pointing his sword at the other side, he replied:

"My name is Bilbo Baggins!"

"Baggins... what's a Baggins? Baby?"

There was a puzzled look on Gulu's face - he couldn't even understand the concept of a name because of his confusion.

"...I am a Hobbit from the Shire"

Bilbo further confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with the monster's brain.

"Oh~ we love to eat goblins, bats and fish, but we've never eaten a hobbit!"

Gollum laughed, and as he approached Bilbo, he asked:

"Is the meat soft? Is it juicy?"

Bilbo was even more frightened when he heard that the other party actually put the goblins in the recipe, and also asked himself if the meat was tender and juicy.

But maybe he did inherit the adventure genes of the Tucker family, and in the fear, a courage rose in his heart at the same time.

"No, no! Stay away from me! Don't make me do it!"

He swung his sword and forced Gollum back:

"Tell me how to get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

He tried to make his expression look fierce, trying to scare the monster in front of him.

"Why? Has he lost his way?"

Gollum asked in his peculiar third-person tone.

"Yes! I want to find a way out as soon as possible! Since you recognize my sword, you must have seen other humans. Tell me, how do I get out of here?"

Bilbo asked.

"We know! We know the way out!"

Gollum said, pointing in a certain direction at the same time:

"A way out in the dark!"

Suddenly, Gulu's face changed, and he scolded:

"To shut up!"

Bilbo: "...I didn't say anything."

"We didn't talk to you!"

Gollum glared at Bilbo, then fell down, and said in another tone:

"Well, we were just talking to him, baby."

Bilbo was a little confused by the monster's nonsense:

"I don't know what game you're playing, but I..."

"game?!"

Gollum interrupted Bilbo loudly, jumped suddenly on the stone, and said cheerfully:

"We like games! Don't we, baby? Does he like games? Like? Like? Does he like playing games?"

"……Maybe!"

Bilbo pointed his sword at the monster, answering cautiously, not knowing what trick the other party was trying to play.

Gollum took his answer as yes.

So, after a few seconds of deliberation, he opened his mouth and said a riddle:

"What, obviously has roots but can't see it, is taller than a tree, keeps going up and up... but never grows?"

"...A mountain?"

Bilbo answered tentatively.
