"Yep!"

Gollum clapped his hands and smiled happily.

"Oh...let's guess another one, shall we? Yes, one more guess, go! Go! One more guess, ask us!"

Suddenly, his face suddenly turned hideous, and he said to himself:

"No! Stop guessing! It's done to him, it's done to him now... Gollum! Gollum!"

Seeing that this monster was about to rush towards him, Bilbo, who was desperate to survive, immediately raised his hand to stop him:

"No! No! I want to guess, really! I want to guess! I can see that you are good at guessing!"

In order to find a way out of this place, Bilbo racked his brains, and in an instant he was acting up, with a bright smile on his face, complimenting Gollum.

And Gollum seemed to take advantage of his compliments, and the hideous expression on his face softened all of a sudden.

Bilbo: "Why don't we play a guessing game? Just, just, just the two of us!"

"Yes, yes, just us!"

Gollum nodded, a smile also appeared on his face, obviously very interested.

"That's right, that's right...if, if I win, you'll tell me the way out, okay?"

"OK, OK!"

Gulu nodded, and suddenly his face changed again, and asked himself:

"What if he loses?"

Gollum answered himself:

"If he loses, baby, we'll eat him! If Baggins loses, we'll eat him up!"

After ten seconds of silence—

Bilbo: "...Fair enough."

……

"Baggins comes first!"

Gollum said.

Bilbo did not refuse, and after thinking for a few seconds, he gave his riddle:

"On a red mountain, thirty white horses bite first, then tread, and then stand still."

"..."

Gulu opened his mouth several times, and the answer was almost spit out from his mouth, but it was only a little short.

After a long while, he gave his answer in a questioning tone:

"teeth?"

"..."

Bilbo's face twitched, and although he did not speak, his expression undoubtedly explained the result.

"Teeth! Oh! That's right, my darling!"

After guessing the answer, Gollum smiled like a naive child, but this happiness only lasted for a moment, and then he showed his evil side:

"But, we... we only have nine teeth!"

He opened his mouth, revealing his only nine sharpened teeth, and threatened Bilbo.

"It's our turn!"

As he said this, he gave his second puzzle:

"No voice, can shout, no wings, can fly, no teeth, can bite, no mouth, can mumble!"

Bilbo didn't think of the answer right away, he found the riddle somewhat difficult.

"...Wait a minute, let me think about it..."

He walked to the underground lake and thought hard.

Suddenly, the wind from nowhere swept across the water, causing a little bit of turbulence, and he was immediately inspired:

"Wind, it is wind!"

"...very clever, hobbit, very clever!"

Bilbo was right, and Gollum was unhappy.

He pushed towards Bilbo, thinking that he might just kill and eat him!

Seeing this, Bilbo immediately pointed the sword in his hand that had not been put down, and forced Gollum back again.

Then he said his riddle:

"A chest with no lid, no keys and no hinges, a golden treasure inside!"

"Crate, keys, hinges..."
