They were even bigger than the wolfs. With their sharp claws, they grabbed the wolfs and threw them off the cliff. With great force, they toppled the big trees and held down the enemy. With a flap of their wings, the fire in the woods rushed towards the orcs.

With the appearance of the giant eagle, the orcs were caught off guard, and the pressure on the expedition team was greatly reduced.

Including Thorin, the fighting dwarves and hobbits were all captured by them, thrown on the backs of their companions, and flew into the sky.

"So, the giant eagle is the rescuer you invited?" Aaron asked in astonishment.

"Obvious."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Aaron said speechlessly.

"Because I'm not sure if they'll make it in time."

Aaron rolled his eyes at him and jumped down from the pine tree.

But what followed him was not a giant eagle, but a dark blue blanket, on which Doli and Ouri were sitting in a daze.

"Projects?" murmured Gandalf. "It seems that Gaius is more mysterious than I thought."

As the voice fell, the pine tree couldn't support it completely, and Gandalf also fell, and landed on the back of a giant eagle.

"Doli, Oli, don't act like you haven't seen the world." Aaron teased.

"We just didn't expect it." Ouli was still a little overwhelmed, "I really thought I was going to die when I fell."

"It's incredible." Dolly murmured, "Aaron, you still have such a treasure."

"Ancestral, ancestral." Aaron said perfunctorily, and controlled the magic carpet to fly to a giant eagle, pointing to Thorin it was holding.

The giant eagle immediately understood, and placed the unconscious Thorin Oakenshield on the dark blue blanket.

"Is Thorin all right?" cried Bilbo.

Aaron checked his pulse and heartbeat, and then looked at the wound on his body, his brows gradually relaxed.

"Alive, the wound is not fatal, it just needs some time to recuperate."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If Thorin died, they would lose the core of a team, and the expedition plan would come to an end without a problem.

"This blanket," said Bilbo thoughtfully, "did you give it to me?"

"That's interesting!" Aaron smiled triumphantly, "This thing can definitely send you home safely, neither orcs nor trolls can threaten you."

Bilbo nodded subconsciously, as long as he didn't touch the enemies in the air, he would be invincible with this magic blanket.

"Then why didn't you take it out before?" Bilbo asked, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you, it's just that such magic items can play a greater role, if you use it to travel..."

"This really won't work." Aaron shook his head immediately, "First of all, my magic carpet can't hold an expedition team, it's not that big;

Secondly, it cannot fly all the time and needs to rest;

Finally, do you know what overloading is?

Now it can bear the weight of four people and maintain a certain flying speed, but if you add another one, such as Bomber, it may be a problem to take off.

To sum up, the efficiency of our team using it to travel is not as fast as walking.

And when we set off, there were still a group of ponies as mounts, so there was no need to take them out at all. "

"So that's how it is!" Bilbo suddenly realized, and the others couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"Instead of asking me, you might as well ask our gray-robed wizard.

If he can find the giant eagle from the beginning, our efficiency may be increased several times! "

"Cough cough!"

As soon as Gandalf took a puff of cigarettes, he coughed choked by this sentence, and then met everyone's strange eyes.

"Everyone, don't look at me like that." Gandalf explained, "First of all, we need to decipher the secrets in the map, and it is undoubtedly the most suitable way to find them while walking.

Secondly, the journey should be more meaningful, otherwise how would you have the opportunity to meet Rivendell and find the lost magic soldier. "

"That's right!" Aaron curled his lips in disdain, "We were almost eaten by trolls, and we were almost killed by orcs several times."

"Isn't everything okay?" Gandalf smiled awkwardly. "The most important thing is that the Giant Eagles also have their own missions. It's already giving me face to spare some of them to come and save people."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Gandalf's reason convinced them.

The giant eagle flew them all night and climbed countless mountains. Only in the early morning did they put the expedition team on a mountain peak one after another.

Aaron put away the magic carpet, and carried it on his back in a fair manner.

Gandalf went up to Solingen, put his right hand on his face, closed his eyes and said the incantation.

After a while, Sorin slowly opened his eyes, and the wound on his body healed miraculously.

"Where are the halflings?" Thorin asked weakly.

"It's all right, Bilbo is here, he's safe."

Thorin breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up with the help of Dwalin and Kili.

He looked at Bilbo gravely, and said questioningly, "What are you doing? You nearly killed yourself."

"Thorin," Aaron said angrily, "I think you should be more polite, Bilbo was the first to run to save you.

He doesn't have much fighting power, and being able to do that is considered desperate. "

"I know." Thorin went up to Bilbo. "I said you would be a burden, that you could not live in the Wild, that you were not worthy to venture with us."

At this point, Thorling paused, and gave Bilbo a hug. "I've never been so wrong in my life."

"Sorry, I questioned you." Thorin apologized with some shame.

"I doubt myself, too," said Bilbo indifferently. "I'm not a hero, nor a warrior, nor even...not a snitch."

"But you played a greater role than them." Aaron laughed. "If you hadn't saved the soul of this team, it would be meaningless for us to enter the Lonely Mountain."

"Lonely Mountain," Thorin murmured.

His gaze turned to the distance, where a towering mountain was standing.

"Our destination." Aaron looked excited, "I thought I had to go for a few months, but I didn't expect the giant eagle to send us here."

"Irubor, the Lonely Mountain." Gandalf said with emotion, "the last great dwarf kingdom in Middle-earth."

"Our home." Thorin said with a smile.

At this time, a bird flashed in front of their eyes, flapping its wings and flying towards the direction of the lonely mountain.

"It's the dodo, the bird has returned to the Lonely Mountain." Ouyin said, this is exactly in line with the omen he read, which means that the rule of the evil dragon will come to an end.

"My dear Oin, that is a thrush," said Gandalf.

"Let's take it as an omen!" Sorin's mouth slightly raised, "It's a good omen."

"True, I believe the worst is over," said Bilbo.

Hearing this, Aaron subconsciously wanted to refute.

Seeing the Lonely Mountain doesn't mean it's over, quite the opposite, and Smaug is the worst part.

But looking at the smiles on other people's faces, he didn't want to spoil the scenery and spoil the lively atmosphere.

......

The expedition team continued to move forward, but they underestimated Asog's killing intent on Thorin Oakenshield.

The pale half-orcs led a group of half-orcs to chase them for more than half a month before barely catching up with them.

The howling of wolves came and went on the top of the mountain. Asog rode the white wolf and looked down carefully, hoping to find the target.

But after looking around, he didn't find anything, so he drove the white wolf away from the top of the mountain.

"Let's go!" Aaron said in a low voice.

"Let's go." Bilbo nodded slowly. "Go back and tell Gandalf about them!"

Just as they were about to leave, the roar of a wild beast suddenly came from one side.

The two looked at each other, then carefully poked their heads out and found a huge black bear.

It crawled on a boulder, roared to the distance and opened its huge mouth, revealing a mouth full of fangs, as if looking for prey.

Gollum!

The two swallowed in unison.

Bears are absolutely invincible to hobbits, even more terrifying than orcs.

Aaron sensed something different. It was not a bear, to be exact, not an ordinary bear, but a powerful magical creature.

Past experience told him that such magical creatures were very dangerous, and he could hide as much as he could.

The two tacitly did not speak, but speeded up to avoid the sight of the black bear.

When they returned safely to the dwarves' camp, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"How far is the enemy from us?" Thorin asked.

"Very near, not more than a few leagues (one league = three miles)," gasped Bilbo.

"But it's not the most dangerous," Aaron added.

"The orcs smell us."

"Not sure, but it's only a matter of time before this distance finds us."

"Did they see you?" asked Gandalf.

"Absolutely not." Aaron said firmly, "The leader was Asog, and Bilbo rescued Thorin from him, and I almost shot him through the throat.

If he saw us, he would absolutely start chasing us desperately, but he didn't do that. "

"That's good." Gandalf looked at the dwarves proudly. "See what I said? Quiet as a mouse. Excellent candidate for a snitch."

The dwarves responded one after another, admiring Gandalf's vision of choosing candidates.

"Excuse me, although I signed the agreement, I never considered myself a snitch.

Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit, had potential, for he was light on his feet. "Aaron said, "Also, we encountered more dangerous creatures.

My gut tells me it's a hundred times more terrifying than Asogg. "

"What kind?" Gandalf looked serious, "Like a bear?"

"Yes, almost, but much larger," said Bilbo.

"You know?" Aaron looked at Gandalf unexpectedly, "What the hell is that bear?"

"Skin changer."

Aaron:  …

I will never ask this kind of question again, and I will not understand the answer.

"There's a house not too far from here, we can go there and take shelter."

"Is the owner of the house an enemy or a friend?" Thorin asked.

"Since when are you asking this?

We are not just being chased by a group of orcs, but also a monster, who knows if it will find us. "Aaron said speechlessly, "It's best if the owner of the house is a friend, but it doesn't matter if it's an enemy. There are so many of us who can kill people and rob the house. "

Hearing this, everyone looked at Aaron in astonishment, and a few others took half a step back unconsciously.

"Killing people and robbing houses, it's hard to imagine that those words came from a child under the age of 14?" Bahrain's eyes twitched slightly, "Your family education really scared me."

"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Aaron didn't know why, "Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just difficult for them to accept it, and it's difficult for me to accept it.

Also, the owner of the house is neither enemy nor friend. "

"stranger?"

"No, he will either help us or kill us."

"Do we have any other choice?" Thorin said in a deep voice.

Before the words fell, the roar of the giant bear had already reached everyone's ears.

Aaron spread his hands, "At present, there is no choice."

Gandalf led the members of the expedition towards the house, and was discovered by the orcs during the period. Asog immediately led a small team to hunt down, forcing them to speed up.
