[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

This experience established Ellena and Bilbo's indispensable positions in the team, at least the dwarves would more or less ask them for their opinions during operations.They had passed through the very center of the mountain range and took a shortcut by accident, but this direction was a little bit northerly.

The group hadn't been able to eat for a long time, and almost all their luggage was thrown in the cave. The little dry food that Ellena and Bilbo carried with them was not enough for everyone to have a full meal, and the gloomy mountains obviously Not a place where there is enough food.But elves and dwarves are very patient races, not to mention wizards, but for Bilbo, walking on an empty stomach was a painful torture, and he walked more and more slowly.Ellena looked at his pale face, sighed, knelt down and carried Bilbo on his back, Bilbo's face was flushed, "I can walk by myself." "I know," Ellena put The messy sideburns were gathered behind the ears, "But I will carry you faster." "We can also carry him." The dwarf wanted to share Elena's burden, and Elena looked from head to toe on purpose The corner of the dwarf's mouth was slightly curved: "I don't want to bother your short legs." Seeing that the heads of the dwarves were about to smoke with anger, Elena laughed and ran to the front like a fawn with Bilbo on her back. .

Gandalf shook his head helplessly, and urged, "Hurry up, it's not safe here."

All the way until the moon rose, everyone was exhausted, Ellena's footsteps were a little unsteady, and a few shrill howls suddenly sounded in the dark forest, as if to respond to this sound, their There were piercing howls to the left and right as well.

It was a pack of wolves, and Ellena's head was a little dizzy, she almost dropped Bilbo by mistake, a wordless fear permeated the group, everyone stared, and breathed lightly involuntarily.Gandalf commanded with a sullen face: "Go to the tree quickly."

Everyone quickly found the nearby trees that were easy to climb, and they didn't know how they did it in the chaotic darkness, and then hurriedly climbed to the tallest branches.Ellena first sent Bilbo to a huge pine tree, and Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin and Gloin were also on it, and the howling wolf was getting closer and closer to them, Erin Na took a deep breath of the cold night air, found the tallest pine tree and quickly jumped on it. This was not difficult for her who often lived in Lorien. Gandalf also stood on it, and saw that she was like a bird. He landed on the branch lightly and nimbly, and couldn't help but glance at her approvingly.

The wolves had already arrived, hundreds of pairs of dark green eyes flickered in the forest, like ghostly will-o'-the-wisps, and Ellena could even smell the bloody stench from their howling mouths.These strong beasts were not ordinary wolves, they were much bigger and more ferocious and cunning, they were the mounts and partners of the half-orcs in the wilderness, that is, the wargs.

Elena didn't have much contact with this kind of creature. The half-orcs near Rivendell had been expelled long ago, and Roselorien was not a place where half-orcs dared to offend. Her knowledge of this creature was limited to A few words in the memory and the spoils brought back by the twin brothers from beheading the wolf-sharp fangs stained with blood.

More and more wargs gathered under the trees. They lowered their heads and sniffed around with their strong and stubby limbs. After a while, they found all the trees where people were hiding, and sent guards to guard these trees. Obviously, they surrounded.

In addition to the guards, hundreds of wolves sat down in a circle on the grass under the tree. In the center of the circle was a huge gray wolf, the leader of the wolf.Ellena drew the bowstring and aimed at it, "Wait," Gandalf stopped her in a low voice, "Listen to what they are saying." The two of them listened to the terrifying roar, their complexions getting worse and worse. dignified.There was a trace of fear in Ellena's eyes: "We must drive away the wolves quickly, the orc army is coming." Gandalf shook his head: "I'm afraid it's too late." Ellena raised her eyebrows and quickly He took a bow and shot at the leader of the wolf, the gray wolf howled in pain and fell down. The smell of blood in the air angered the wolves, and they rushed towards the trees one after another. shake.Ellena calmly shot every arrow, killing more than a dozen wargs in a short period of time, their blood almost stained the ground red.

"Then try it." Gandalf used his staff to ignite a large pile of pine cones and threw them at the place where the worgs gathered. Wolves are naturally afraid of fire, and these flames made by Gandalf are not easy to extinguish, and one of them is special. The big pine cone hit the nose of a strong wolf who was only slightly smaller than the leader, and the pain caused it to jump ten feet high. Several other wargs arrived.Not long after, wolves were rolling all over the grassland, and the piercing howling made the whole forest commotion, and finally, the wolves dispersed howling.

The flames of different colors were really like fireworks, Ellena breathed a sigh of relief, and admired the clusters of flames with great interest.

In fact, Ellena didn't quite agree with Gandalf's approach, because they would be easily trapped in the tree by the flames. Ellena didn't want to be burned into coke, but there was no other way at this time.

Gandalf must have prepared for the way back when he did this. Ellena glanced at Gandalf. The old wizard looked dignified but not afraid. He shrugged and looked at the dark sky, except for the bright moon and the breeze. Nothing at all.

Just when everyone was about to get down the tree and escape here, a group of half-orcs rushed in roaring. They were not as powerful as the wargs, and it didn't take long for them to come up with a brilliant idea. The dead leaves were piled up under the trees where people were hiding, and the choking smoke made everyone cough continuously, and also blocked Ellena's sight.

Wargs, orcs, and their own fires could easily kill them all.

The bark was burning, and the branches were crackling, and the Goblins sang dreadful songs and danced happily in the circle, as if they were at a wonderful Midsummer Night's Ball.In the scorching heat, Ellena once again aimed her arrow at the half-orc captain's vague figure in the smoke. He stood in the middle of the team with a huge ax and twisted his body awkwardly.She squinted her eyes, and shot the arrow with all her strength. The arrow hit the half-orc's forehead like a light and shadow. He fell down without screaming, and his brain burst and spilled on the ground.

The dizziness got worse, Ellena supported the tree trunk, thinking about the death of the half-orc just now, her stomach twitched.

There was something hovering down in the sky, Ellena looked up with difficulty to watch several big black birds getting closer, then her eyes went dark amid the exclamation of everyone, and she fell powerlessly from the tree.

Elina's last thought before she lost consciousness was that if she died, she must be the first elf to fall from a tree...
