Chapter 1186 Arriving at the Gate of the Elves
A little earlier.

The Snow Empress Team and the Dwarf Expeditionary Team crossed the plain and reached the border of Mirkwood.

The towering ancient trees blocked them all. Looking around, there was almost no gap between the old trees. They were all covered by vines and branches, and there was no path at all.

Bilbo looked up at Mirkwood and took a deep breath.

There was a smell of ammonia in the dense forest, which made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help coughing twice.

"The trees here are sick," said Bilbo.

Balin grinned and said, "These sick trees can't stop the dwarves from moving forward."

Bilbo couldn't help frowning.

It is true that it is very correct to maintain an optimistic attitude at this time, but it is conceited to be too optimistic.

It's not that Bilbo has never seen a dense forest. Before he entered Slave Ridge, he also went through a long trek through the dense forest and encountered many dangers and crises.

However, compared with the dense forest in front of us, the dense forest before is not at the same level.

The dense forest before was just full of trees that blocked the sunlight, but the order in front of him not only blocked the sunlight, but also gave off a gloomy feeling.

Bilbo couldn't help wondering, is this really the legendary woodland kingdom?

As one of the three major races of elves, the wood elves are proud and otherworldly. Bilbo thought they would live in a place similar to a fairyland on earth, at least on par with Rivendell, but...

It's not much better than a goblin dungeon here.

Although he hasn't seen the wood elf yet, Bilbo's impression of the wood elf has been greatly reduced.

When everyone was wandering, not knowing how to enter the dark forest, Qili suddenly shouted, "Look there!"

Everyone looked for Qili's voice, and saw a huge thorny arch in a dark and sickly dense forest. The shape of this thorny arch was like a pair of antlers, the tops of which were wrapped around Together, the dead wood and vines around it hide it, making it easy to miss if you don't look carefully.

Balin, Groyin and others stepped forward and chopped off the dead branches on the thorny arch with knives and axes, and a magnificent and huge arch appeared in front of them immediately.

This arch is 30 meters high, and each thorn requires two people to embrace it.

Standing under the thorny arch, looking at the secluded dense forest, all the dwarves felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

Iron Hammer couldn't help frowning, and said in an unbelievable tone: "Could this be the gate of elves?"

Xue Di said indifferently: "It seems that it should be."

Hammer asked, "Then what should we do now?"

In fact, it wasn't that she didn't know what to do, but she wanted to wait for Xufeng.

Without Xufeng, she felt as if she had no backbone.

Isn't Snow Empress like this?
But Xuedi is the captain, she considers issues more calmly and comprehensively than Iron Hammer.

After a short pause, she said to Thorin: "Cut off all the dead wood around this elf gate, and see if there is a path behind the elf gate."

"Okay." Sorin turned to the dwarf expedition and said, "You guys go and clear away all the dead wood."

Groyin and the others immediately took their axes and walked to the side of the elf gate, removing the dead wood and vines that were entwined on the elf gate one by one.

This process seemed simple, but it actually took a lot of time. The dead wood and vines were all entangled, and it was not so easy to clean them up.

After the dwarf expedition team cleaned up the vines and dead wood, this grand elf gate was truly displayed in front of them.

A deep path also extended out behind the elf gate.

The path is covered with floor tiles with elf patterns.

These floor tiles are covered with dust, and it is obvious that no one has passed by here for a long time.

The woodland kingdom of the wood elves is in the middle of this dark dense forest. There are 4 such elf gates in the woodland kingdom, and this is just one of them, but it is conceivable that the same should be true for the other three directions of the elf gates.

Since the Lonely Mountain Kingdom was shattered, King Serendil of the Wood Elf immediately closed his borders, no longer in contact with anyone, and even reduced contact with the other two elf races.

From the perspective of the countries of the alliance, King Seranduil's actions were due to a guilty conscience, but in fact, this was more like a disheartened expression.

When the path behind the elf gate appeared, the dwarves frowned.

They didn't want to go through the Woodland Kingdom, because the Wood Elves were traitors to them, and they were very afraid that when they saw the Wood Elves, they would not be able to help but conflict with the Wood Elves.

Sorin naturally thought the same way. He was very reluctant when he borrowed Rivendell back then, let alone borrowing the Woodland Kingdom now.

It would have been nice if Gandalf and Xufeng were there, but unfortunately neither of them were there.

Sorin could only bite the bullet and make a decision, because if they didn't go from the Woodland Kingdom, they would have to spend about a month to detour from the dangerous area of ​​Mirkwood.

When King Thranduil rejected the Druids, the Druids bypassed the dangerous area. The Druids not only took a long time, but also sacrificed a lot of lives.

Sorin is not afraid of sacrificing his life, they are here to restore the Gushan Dynasty, sacrifices are unavoidable, they have long been mentally prepared for this, but they can't waste time.

If you want to enter the Gushan Palace safely, the only way is to enter through the secret passage.

And the only way to enter the secret path is to use the key to open the hidden magic door on the day of the autumn solstice.

If they miss this day, they will have to wait another year.

During this year, many accidents will happen, the half-orcs will chase after them, and other dwarf tribes will also be eager to try the treasure in the Lonely Mountain Palace...

So Thorin had only this chance, and even if he didn't want to pass through the Woodland Kingdom in his heart, he had no other choice.

He sighed secretly, and said to the dwarves in a deep voice: "Unload all the supplies on the pony, and let them go back to their master."

These ponies were lent to them by Beorn. Beorn did not want his livestock to enter the territory of the wood elves. According to the agreement, Thorin must release the ponies back at the elf gate.

The dwarves unloaded their supplies one after another, and when they let the ponies go, there was a loud explosion from the direction of the stone house, and the whole plain shook at this moment!

People need to stick their weapons to the ground in order to stabilize their stature and not fall.

The shock wave of the explosion lasted for a full 2 ​​minutes, and then the entire plain slowly returned to calm.

"What's going on here?" Bofur asked nervously, clutching his hat.

"Gunpowder pill..." Xue Di said flatly.

This shows that at this moment, Xufeng has already fought against the wolf cavalry.
