Nature

In the end, Beorn still didn't feel relieved to dismount his horse.

Anna rode at the end of the team, looking back from time to time, and could see a looming figure.

She sighed faintly, clamped the horse's belly with her legs, and followed up.

They did not leave Orc's pursuit.

Anna has been listening attentively, and at night, the wargs are still howling.

But Anna did not continue the vigil, and the dwarves arranged a shift so that she could rest.She knew that Beorn was protecting them in the dark, and the Orcs dared not attack them.

It's really strange, her strength is almost the same as that of Beorn, even higher than him, why is the half-orc afraid of him but not her?Is it because she can't transform?Or was it because of Sauron that he was ambushed in Dol Guldur, and the name of the White Bow began to fade?

Soon, she lost the mood to think about these things, because Mirkwood was so close.

Legolas is also close at hand.

When she thought of him, her heart itch.

The next night, she sat in the tent and, as usual, did not sleep well.

She finally realized what it means to be closer to the nostalgia and more timid.

She didn't dare to face him with this face, for fear that he would ask about her.

He must have wondered why he covered his face, then remembered her human identity, and wondered about his longevity.He must have heard of The Name of Nature, then he must have known that she was about to become an elf.

But she was not yet an elf, and was mingling with the dwarves, and was now going to his house.

A cloaked old creature of unknown species who dared not see him.

On the third day, she could clearly see the trees in the Mirk Forest, and a silence loomed over her, which was very depressing.

She was miserable, Mirkwood wasn't like this before.

The hares were gone, the deer were gone, the birds were no longer singing, and the trees were strangely shaped.

Darkness is invading the forest, and the forest is sick.

Ana remembered what Beorn had said to Gandalf before he left.

"Beware of the Necromancer, he is not what he seems to be."

"The Gate of the Elves." Gandalf looked at the round platform between the two silver trees. "The road through the Mirkwood."

"Fortunately for us the orcs did not catch up."

Anna entered, examining the door arched with branches.

"It's not the same as before." She frowned, and a strange feeling came to her heart.

Gandalf walked slowly towards a tree as if he had not heard her.

A few clumps of leaves blocked the trunk, and he pushed them aside with a jerk of his walking stick.

Evil eye.

Startled, Bilbo flinched from playing with the ring, and the ring fell back into his pocket.He looked at the tree in bewilderment.

Ana's black eyes were fixed on the tree, her red eyes were menacing, and she remembered that day in Dol Guldur.

Has Sauron's influence spread here?

Gandalf gasped.

- Don't be afraid, look at it, look at it...

A voice sounded, soft but not solemn.

Anna forced herself to look into those eyes, which were very sharp to her.

——Brightness always surrounds you...

Anna's black pupils shrank, and the evil eyes in her vision twisted.

"Cammonde," Gandalf called, looking at her.

Only then did Anna realize that she saw Oli untie the ponies.

"I'm going to the south," said Gandalf slowly, stopping Ori from untying the last horse. "Keep that one."

"Where are you going?" asked Bilbo, and the dwarves looked back at the wizard.

Gandalf was silent, and Anna lowered her eyes.

"Something about that tree?" Bilbo guessed.

Anna was startled, and Gandalf raised his head quickly, his wise eyes became very sharp, as if he was about to pierce Bilbo.

Bilbo was startled, and at last Gandalf softened his look.

"You've changed." He said suddenly.

"I..." Bilbo stopped talking, hesitating.

Anna looked at everything coldly, and suddenly interrupted, "When will you be back?"

The dwarves raised their heads upon hearing this, showing surprise expressions.

"I'll wait for you at the watchtower of Erebor ahead." Gandalf strode away, and he looked back at Anna and Anna, "Keep the map and keys, and let Naigu lead you. Don't leave Zhenglu, remember my words, Kai Mengting!"

Anna pursed her lips, "Got it."

Gandalf looked no longer at them, but mounted his horse and went away.

The sky began to rain lightly, just like Anna's mood at the moment, she led the dwarves into the dark forest.

What does Gandalf mean, not trusting her?But then she remembered that in the 50 years of living in Mirkwood, she had rarely walked the right path.

Well, she deflated, watching the dwarves twittering behind her, and she was suddenly a little annoyed.

"Stop making noise!" She warned in a low voice, looked up at the gloomy trees, and then remembered Beorn's warning, "Be quiet, the air in the forest is filthy and full of evil, Mirkwood is no longer what it used to be."

"Full of evil?" Thorin asked. "What do you mean? Haven't you been here a long time?"

Anna looked at him, "At that time, his power was not as powerful as it is today." She sighed, and began to guide the way, her dress rubbing against the trees and making a rustling sound, "At that time, the river here was still clear and shallow. Drink it, but now, that creek is full of black magic, don't drink it."

The trails are getting more and more curved, and the food is getting less and less.

"Would you like something to eat?" Bilbo took out a small piece of bread and handed it to Anna sheepishly after he finished eating a piece of bread.

"No need."

The spider webs were knotted on the tree, and everyone began to feel a little dizzy.

"Don't go astray." Anna kept turning her head to remind her, she took a dwarf's arm, "Where are you going?"

The dwarf was pulled back by her, and his sanity became clearer.

Anna sighed deeply, she called Thorin, "Do you need me to pour some water on them to wake them up?"

"No need." Thorin vetoed, he straightened his back arrogantly, "dwarves will not be easily affected by these magics."

Anna looked at him like he was looking at a freak.

They came to the enchanted little river.Anna walked over, frowning and looking at the half-broken bridge.

"How to do?"

"We can try to swim across."

"Didn't you hear what Nana said? There is black magic in the river!"

The dwarves quarreled behind their backs.

Kili stepped on the vines. "These vines look very strong."

"Kili!" Thorin called to him, "Look at the bridge!"

Anna kept her eyes closed, but now she opened her black pupils, a silver-white halo wrapped around the broken bridge, and some tiny dots of light continuously emerged from Anna's palm.

"Wow..." Bilbo opened his mouth wide, "Elf magic..."

"No, no." Thorin frowned. "She's not an elf yet."

A white halo stretched from both sides of the broken bridge to the middle, where the halo left, the crystal clear ice caught the stone.When the halo finally disappeared, a huge block of ice perfectly connected the broken bridge on both sides of the creek.

"It's so beautiful..." Fili sighed.

"Let's go." Anna moved her lips, and she walked over slowly.

Bombo was the last one to cross the bridge. Anna checked the situation of the bridge very carefully when he passed by. Anna breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had crossed the ice bridge safely.

To be honest, I thought his huge weight would crush the bridge...

But she was not happy for long, because when Bangbo was about to reach the shore, he staggered, his eyelids got knotted, and he fell.

Anna remembered the plot of the original book, and was silent for a long time.

Some things, will they happen or will they happen...?

The dwarves lifted Bumble, and a white stag appeared on the opposite bank.

Thorin raised his bow and drew an arrow.

"What are you doing?" asked Bilbo, and when Anna looked back, she saw the arrow go.

With a wave of his hand, under the black sleeve, an ice whip swung straight over, wrapping up the arrow.

"What are you doing!" Anna asked angrily, and Thorin looked away.

The white deer was scared away, and Anna urged the dwarf to go on the road. She turned her head inadvertently, but found that the supposedly pure ice was mixed with black air.

She froze for a moment, then thought that she could make ice because she condensed it from the moisture in the air.

Is the pollution that serious...

When Bumble wakes up, the dwarves start to run out of water.

Their throats were dry and hoarse, and they began to feel dizzy.

Anna kept reminding them and pushing them back on the right track.But as time went by, Anna suddenly felt chest pains.

The poison broke out again, she gritted her teeth, kept touching the ring, mobilizing the strength in her body to fight against it.

"This is where?"

"I'm so dizzy."

"I don't even know what day it is today."

The night is almost exactly the same as the day, the dense leaves block the sunlight, and occasionally a ray of light shines through but is blocked by the dense spider webs and leaves.And only when they are hungry will they think about eating what little food is left.Even food is rationed.

"Nai, since you can make an ice bridge, make us some ice to quench our thirst."

"No." Anna flatly refused, "There is poison in the ice."

Sorin glanced at her, Anna was sweating from the pain, and she didn't bother to explain to them, really, if they really drank poison to death, they would come to her again to settle accounts.

She suddenly didn't want to stay here any longer. Seeing that the dwarf and the hobbit had no strength to continue walking, she said, "Then you guys rest first. I'll go ahead to explore the way. I always feel that this place seems familiar."

"I feel familiar here, too," replied Bilbo softly.

Anna stared at him for a long time, after a moment of silence, she said, "We're still on the main road, so we won't get lost. You stay here and don't move, I'll see how far it is."

After saying that, she left the dwarf. She needed to be quiet and let her body rest for a while. She didn't want to stay there any longer!

Sorin watched Anna leave with gloomy eyes. After he couldn't see Anna's figure, he looked around and suddenly stood up, "Let's go there."

He walked to a path and pushed aside a branch.

"But Gandalf says not to leave the road..."

"Nah, she..."

"Ignore her!" Thorin yelled suddenly, "She won't come back, she's an elf! Never really helped us."

Bilbo continued to try to dissuade: "She will not find us, and we will be lost. Gandalf said that once we strayed from the road, the chance of being found is not even one in a thousand."

"Then you just stay and wait for that woman to come to you. She must be more 'deja vu' here than you."

Bilbo stopped talking, watched the dwarves leave one by one, hesitated for a while, and followed.

The author has something to say: it has been fixed. (June 6)

Following the movie plot and watching the extended version, I don't like Beorn's style very much.I thought that this chapter should be able to meet Legolas, but it seems that it will be postponed for a while, and the next chapter should be the next chapter, and the two will meet again.

In fact, the image of Sorin is quite complicated. He has a rough life experience, so he is easy to be suspicious. It is a flaw in the heart that the elves do not help. As for women, I think it should be after the European Middle Ages. Women are protected, but men will not respect them very much. them.So Thorin's mood towards Anna was sometimes good and sometimes not.
