Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1101 1083. Success
"Thorin Oakenshield, the shameless dwarf usurper!"

Smaug once again leisurely played with Bilbo's nerves, even though the Hobbit could see the Arkenstone not far away from him.

However, the presence of the evil dragon forced him to retreat carefully, until he retreated into the hollow of a stone base in the hall, where he felt a little safer.

This sense of security was false, and Bilbo knew it himself, because Smaug could lift up the hundred-ton stone base with just a wave of his claws!

"Usurper? That Thorin Oakenshield is a usurper?"

Bilbo panted and talked to the dragon, trying his best to buy himself as much time as possible.

"What throne did he usurp? I remember the family tree of the King Under the Mountain is very clear."

"Usurping what throne?" Smaug said as a matter of course as he slowly coiled his slender body around the stone base where Bilbo was.

"Of course, to usurp my throne!"

"I conquered this country! I killed all the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain Kingdom! This kingdom and the throne are my spoils of war! He wants to take it away. Isn't this a despicable usurpation of the throne?"

Oh, so when a robbed person takes back his belongings, it's actually a despicable act for the robber?

Even though Bilbo was extremely nervous and panicked at this time, he still criticized Smaug's words in his heart because of his simple view of good and evil.

Of course, I didn't dare say it out loud. After all, I had to delay as long as I could. Who knows, after a while, there might be no one left among us.

"Of course, I pay no heed to the plans of that vile usurper. For his failure is certain."

Smaug continued calmly, although there was evil magic in his words, he did not know what Bilbo was thinking at the moment.

It was just trying to show off its greatness to Bilbo, the 'thief in the shadows'.

"Thorin Oakenshield never dared to dream: darkness has come upon this world, and there is no place to escape! Especially in this lonely mountain?"

Smaug's huge, toothy mouth came gently to the edge of the stone pedestal where Bilbo lay.

As their lips touched, they whispered softly and seductively.

The whisper had an evil power that went straight into people's hearts.

"The thief in the shadows, I think you have been deceived by him!"

"The coward Oakenshield has already weighed the value of your life. In his eyes, it is not a pity for you to die. Otherwise, why would he send you to face me alone? This is an obvious exploitation."

"What did he promise you to risk your life and come to me? A portion of this treasure?"

"Hehe, you speak as if these treasures belong to him."

"This gold is mine! And I won't give a penny of it away!"

Bilbo licked his lips nervously, because Smaug's mouth was less than a meter away from his body.

The dragon's stinking, scorching breath was almost right behind him.

"No, that's not right. You are wrong about that. Absolutely wrong."

"Really? What's wrong?"

Smaug said nonchalantly.

Bilbo plucked up his courage and quickly looked outside.

A petite figure with three colors was climbing down from the pillar silently, and approaching here by leaning against many cover objects.

Bilbo was now very thankful that the fur of the fluff ball was of excellent quality, otherwise he would not subconsciously rub the cat's fur when he was with the kitten.

Then the smell of the fluff ball was mixed with the smell of the Hobbits, so that Smaug, who had never smelled either the Hobbits or the Felyne cats, would mistakenly believe that this mixed smell actually belonged to him alone.

Taking a deep breath, Bilbo suddenly rushed towards the Arkenstone lying on the pile of gold coins outside the stone base!

But Smaug, who had been waiting outside, had just spoken in a gentle tone, as if he was concerned about Bilbo, but of course it was all malicious provocation and verbal provocation.

It had been waiting for the Hobbits to rush out!

The long tail coiled on one side of the stone base swung away, like hitting the waves, and set off a heavy golden wave on the golden mountain.

Bilbo immediately flew up with the Arkenstone lying on the gold mountain, and the scattered gold coins flew into the air with them.

During this time, the hobbit seemed to be terrified and he waved his hands around in the air frantically.

And because he had just rushed close to the Arken Gem, his waving of his hands and feet directly knocked the Arken Gem into the opposite direction.

In the end, the hobbits and the Arkenstone were separated.

Smaug looked down from above, and the huge, ferocious, malicious dragon head clicked its tongue and shook its head as if sighing.

"What a mess, what a mess, little man."

The hobbit fell from mid-air onto a new pile of gold coins, and unloaded the force along the slope of the gold coins, but even so, it was still difficult for him to stand up.

At the same time, the Hobbit was looking longingly at the Arkenstone that he had photographed in the distance.

This look, mixed with anxiety, pain and longing, made Smaug feel good.

The huge dragon head and its body turned completely towards Bilbo, and the words that came out of the dragon's mouth were full of obvious sarcasm and wantonness. "I almost want to give it to you if it can make Thorin Oakenshield suffer, and then be destroyed by it, corroded by it, and driven crazy by it!"

"You should know his family tree, because of what happened to the treasure, right?"

The dragon's tail, which was covered with thorns and looked like a soft and huge mace, casually swept across the pile of gold coins where the Arken gem had fallen.

And pushed it a little further.

The dragon likes gold the most, followed by other treasures.

The Arkenstone does not have the same symbolic and power significance to Smaug as the "Dwarf Kingship", so Smaug himself does not care about this priceless gem.

It was just randomly piled together with the other treasures.

But if he could use this little gadget to see other people's deep pain, he had to say that Smaug began to like it a little.

"But I changed my mind."

Just as Bilbo's eyes showed a hint of irrational expectation, Smaug's tone suddenly took a turn for the worse.

The "easy to talk to" and "communicative" appearance that was pretended before in order to play with people's hearts are all gone.

After all, it is a beast that likes to abuse the weak with strength and violence!

"Tell me, thief. How would you like to die?"

Smaug retracted his long neck, and at the same time, patterns of hot red light began to appear from the gaps between the large scales on his chest.

It's like a block of lava with only a solidified hard shell on the outside, with cracks knocked out, revealing the still flowing magma inside!
At the same time, a scorching light began to emanate from deep within the throat of its huge mouth!
The temperature of Smaug's body soared in an instant! Even the air on his body surface was distorted!

But at this moment, Bilbo, who had his mouth open, was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and even had difficulty breathing, his expression suddenly changed.

The Hobbit stood with his hands behind his back, chest held high, like a great hero who had just completed a task and was proud but pretending to be humble.

"Well, I think that the question of whether or not the great Smaug should live or die is really up for discussion."

Smaug was also startled by the Hobbit's sudden change of mood and expression.

But then, Smaug seemed to suddenly think of something, and a look of human astonishment appeared on his long dragon face.

The slender neck turned backward 180 degrees and looked towards the direction of its tail!

And in that direction, a calico-haired kitten, no longer trying to conceal the sound of its footsteps on the pile of gold coins and only caring about speeding up, was about to rush into a side door exit of the treasure hall!
And on the golden mountain next to Smaug's tail, the Arken gem had also disappeared!

In just a moment, Smaug felt a surge of rage rushing straight to his head!

In the gaps between the scales on its chest, the brightness of the scorching glowing lines suddenly increased, as well as at its throat.

The burning light in his throat was so intense that even from the outside he could see through his skin and nails!

"Liar! Thief! Shameless!"

With the sound of gold coins being stepped on, the flannel ball quickly ran into the side door of the treasure hall holding the gems in his arms.

But Smaug already knew that at this point he would definitely not be able to catch up with the calico cat.

Its long, winding neck turned around immediately!

That weird calico cat can run, can the Hobbit run too?!
Bilbo can really run!
In the short moment that Smaug turned his head and looked back, he had almost rested after the previous struggle.

The hobbit, who at least managed to put on the golden ring again, had his hands, which were originally behind his back, ready.

He held the ring in his left hand and poked his right hand, and the whole person disappeared immediately.

Smaug should have been able to easily hear Bilbo's breathing and footsteps.

But it was now very angry. The dragon's heartbeat, breathing and roar affected its own senses.

Moreover, the place where Bilbo was thrown away by Smaug's tail and then landed on the ground following the landslide and stood firmly was already the edge of the gold mountain in the entire treasure hall.

The gold and gold coins here can no longer cover the ground, revealing the original rock floor of the hall.

Nothing happened when the hobbit stepped on it.

Then, the dragon's face, which originally had a somewhat human expression, suddenly tensed.

The selfish dragon suffered real losses and teasing.

At this moment, it tears apart all the jokes and pretense.

"Roar!!!"

The powerful and huge wing claws slapped towards a huge pillar beside it.

This huge stone pillar that supported the mountain structure of the treasure hall collapsed like a building block in Smaug's palm!
The structural tremors shook the entire island, and the aftermath even spread to the distant Long Lake.

Immediately afterwards, the scorching light deep in the evil dragon's throat also gushed out!
