"Mr. Baggins, you can wait here for your companions. I think they will come out soon." He Xie turned back and looked down at the hobbit, "Let's say goodbye."
"Oh sir," Bilbo Baggins called hurriedly. At this time, he was sure that He Xie had no ill intentions towards him and was completely unwary. "I'm sorry to ask your name now. It's really rude..."
"He." He Xie said with a smile, "You can call me that."
"He..." Bilbo chewed on this somewhat weird name. When he wanted to speak again, He Xie's back had disappeared into the thin morning mist.
"What a mysterious ranger..." He said to himself enviously.
He Xie knew that the plot at this time should be on Bilbo Baggins and the thirteen dwarves going to the Lonely Mountain to eradicate the evil dragon Smaug and regain the land and treasures of the dwarf Durin Kingdom, but he did not choose to stay and get close to Bilbo.
Then take the opportunity to join this expedition.
Firstly, he didn't think that he could gain the trust of Gandalf and the dwarves at will. Secondly, for He Xie, there was no profit at all from this matter other than going through a life and death battle.
He Xie could not wait to find a secluded place to test the power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings. But at this moment, he heard the sound of wolves howling, which penetrated the mist and was accompanied by the rapid wind.
The sound of running hooves like rain reached his ears clearly.
He Xie's expression did not change, but he quickened his pace.
He doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.
However, many times, trouble comes to you.
Three kilometers away from He Xie, a group of cavalry shuttled through the forest at high speed.
This is a group of strong and tall orcs. Compared with them, the size of the cave orcs is like children.
And what they ride is not horses, but wolves and wargs.
This kind of warg is as tall as a horse. They have the weight and speed of a horse, but are more ferocious and cunning than wolves.
Although the leading orc looks similar to the other orcs, he is pale all over, and even the warg beneath him is snow-white.
One of its hands was broken at the wrist, with a bloody steel claw embedded in it, and the other hand held a huge four-edged axe.
While running wildly, the pale orc suddenly shouted, and dozens of wolf riders suddenly stopped.
Its nose twitched and said in orc language: "Human! It's human breath, and it's still very fresh!"
Its eyes emitted a forest-green light, and a cruel look appeared on its face: "There shouldn't be humans here. It must be reinforcements from those dwarves. Find him and kill him!"
"Ouch!"
The wargs and the orcs roared together, chasing the scent left by He Xie, and rushed over there.
He Xie on the other side instantly sensed a movement on the other side. He frowned slightly, shook his head helplessly, and simply stopped, turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for the enemy.
At the same time, an old man wearing a pointed hat, holding a cane inlaid with gems, and wearing gray robes rushed out of the cave that He Xie had just walked out of with a group of dwarves.
Bilbo Baggins, who had been guarding the entrance of the cave for a long time, saw them and shouted in surprise: "Gandalf! Thorin!"
Everyone looked around, with incredible expressions on their faces.
"Bilbo! How is this possible?"
"How did you get out?"
"How did you escape the orcs?"
The dwarves asked loudly.
"Run! Get out of here first!" Gandalf shouted, "The danger is not over yet, and it's not time to relax and chat. Run, quickly!"
Everyone immediately started running wildly again, but not far away, they heard the howl of a wolf not far ahead.
Gandalf at the front suddenly changed his expression, stopped suddenly, raised his hand, and shouted hurriedly: "Stop! Quiet!"
The dwarves stopped suddenly, and one of them was unable to stop in time and rolled over.
The leading dwarf is the leader of this group of dwarves and a descendant of the Durin family, Thorin Oakenshield.
His face was heavy and he listened carefully for a while. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he pointed to the east and said, "The wolf is riding that way! Why?"
"It seems like they are chasing someone." Gandalf also had doubts in his eyes. He couldn't imagine why these orcs who had been chasing them all the way suddenly gave up and chased others.
Just at this moment, He Xie and the orcs on the other side were in close combat. The battle was about to break out. Screams and roars were heard, and the sounds of fighting were heard immediately.
The dwarves looked at each other.
"Would you like to come over and take a look?" A white-bearded dwarf asked Thorin Oakenshield.
"I think we'd better stay out of our own business, Balin." Another handsome dwarf said.
"Kili is right, we should take the opportunity to escape and get rid of these orcs!"
"Aren't you curious who is fighting the orcs?" Balin asked, "It sounds like there is only one person who can face the siege of the wolf riders."
"Maybe I know who it is!" Bilbo Baggins said, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Everyone looked at him.
"What! It must be him!" Bilbo Baggins said excitedly, "He is a human ranger, with black eyes and yellow skin..."
"Come on, where can such a human being exist?" A dwarf sneered disdainfully, "Also, how come there is such a weird name as 'He'?"
"Don't interrupt, Groin!" Gandalf glared at the dwarf dissatisfied, and then looked at Bilbo, "Bilbo, how do you know him?"
"I met him in the dark mountain stream," Bilbo Baggins glanced at Groin helplessly, and continued, "He killed an evil-looking monster there, and his sword was like the wind.
Quickly, in the darkness, it will shine as brightly as the sun."
Having said this, Bilbo Baggins paused because he saw the dwarves all showing doubtful looks.
"What I said is true, I swear." He said anxiously, "He seems to be trying to snatch a ring from that monster. It is a ring that shines with golden light. The monster calls it treasure..."
"Ring? Baby?" Gandalf was shocked and said urgently, "Bilbo, are you sure that monster said that? Can you recognize the race of that monster?"
"I'm sure he said that." Bilbo Baggins nodded, "But I don't know what race he is. He doesn't look like an orc, nor a hobbit or a dwarf, but he is as short as me.
He crawls on all fours."
Gandalf's face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was deep in thought. He looked towards the direction where the roars of fighting continued to come, and suddenly made a decision.
"Thorin, let's go over and take a look." He said, "If necessary, we will fight side by side with him to repel the Orcs and Wolf Riders."
Thorin Oakenshield shook his head: "I don't think this is a good idea, and we have wasted too much time listening to a ridiculous story here. Gandalf, we have an important mission."
"But this is not a reason for you to abandon kindness." Gandalf stared at him with bright eyes, "When will the descendants of Durin be able to ignore the evil done by the orcs and remain indifferent? No matter who he is, he can be regarded as helping.
