legend begins with lord of the rings

After roaring, Smaug spurted hot fire from his mouth and swept towards Abel.

"Be careful~"

Abel reminded Heili and Bilbo who were behind him, and he quickly rolled aside.

"Chichi...chichi..."

The scorching flames pursued Abel all the way, burning the surrounding stone walls red.

In such a dangerous situation, Abel did not dare to stay at his feet and kept avoiding the flames behind him. Unconsciously, he was getting further and further away from the door.

When Abel looked back, the exit had been deliberately blocked by the huge body of the dragon. It seemed that this was a cautious dragon.

Abel shouted to Heili and Heili who were wandering outside the door: "You go first, I will come to you later..."

Neither Black Force nor Bilbo has the ability to hurt the dragon. If they stay here, they might be accidentally injured.

"Then be careful!" Hei Li has matured a lot during this time. He knew that he couldn't help. So he pulled the hobbit who was still in a daze and left the entrance to the basement.

Smaug didn't look twice at Bilbo and Black Power leaving. He stared at Abel and said fiercely: "How do you want to die?"

"Well, that's a good question. If possible, I hope to die of old age..." Abel showed a narrow smile. After shooting an arrow randomly at Smaug's head, he ran towards the depths of the basement.

He considered that instead of being stopped at the door, he might as well run to the larger basement. At least there would be more places to hide from people.

"Cunning human, I'm going to tear you apart~" Smaug realized that he had been tricked and angrily chased Abel.

After rushing into the underground treasure house, Abel was shocked for a moment by the piles of gold coins in front of him. Then, he found a place with more stone pillars and ran to it.

"Smaug, has anyone told you that your mouth stinks.

Even if you are a dragon, you must pay attention to personal hygiene..." Abel hid behind a safe stone pillar and shouted to the dragon looking for him.

The place Abel found was densely packed with stone pillars, making it very inconvenient for Smaug's hundred-meter-long body to move.

"Damn humans, die~"

Smaug's nostrils were filled with smoke. He opened his big mouth and sprayed flames indiscriminately in the direction of Abel's voice.

The orange-red flames had a temperature exceeding a thousand degrees. The stone pillars were burned red by these flames, and many gold coins on the ground were melted into liquid.

Abel had no choice but to leave the hot stone pillar and continue running deeper into the basement.

While running, he suddenly saw a white gem necklace on a hill of gold coins. Although he didn't have time to take a closer look, Abel was sure that it was the necklace Thranduil had been looking for.

Without thinking much, Abel rushed towards the mountain of gold coins and quickly collected the necklace and the surrounding gold coins into the system.

The ten cubic meters of system space directly caused a big pit to appear in the gold coin pile. Seeing this, Abel picked up a gold helmet from the side and put it on his head, then lay down in the gold coin pit and buried himself with gold coins.

"Damnable human, come out here..."

As soon as Abel hid himself, Smaug came over stepping on the gold coins.

Looking inside the treasure house, there was nothing in front of him except gold coins and gems. That annoying human seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"Come out... despicable human..."

Smaug flapped his wings and flew up, breathing dragon's breath angrily below.

After melting piles of gold coins, Smaug still found no trace of the human being. So, it flew away elsewhere.

When the dragon left, Abel quickly took off his helmet and jumped up from the pile of gold coins. Smaug's dragon breath was already very close to him.

Fortunately, Smaug is impatient.

Looking at Smaug's back, Abel no longer hesitated and ran towards the basement exit.

…

At the door of the basement, Thorin stared at the empty-handed Hobbit. There was an expression on his face as if the whole world owed him money.

Heili stood between the two of them.

"Tell me, where did you hide the Arken Stone?" Thorin drew out his sword and forced Bilbo to retreat.

Seeing this, Black Force quickly blocked Thorin's sword with his shield, and said to Thorin: "Smaug is in the vault, Mr. Abel asked us to go first."

"Yes, that's a fire-breathing dragon..." Bilbo also spoke in agreement.

Seeing Thorin's unkind side, both of them intentionally or unintentionally ignored the matter of the Arken Stone.

"Get out of here, you have nothing to do here!" Thorin roared angrily, about to push Heili away.

"Whoosh~"

An arrow was accurately inserted not far from Thorin's toes.

"What do you want to do?" Abel came over holding a compound bow.

He didn't expect that he would return to the door again. What he saw was the scene where Thorin wanted to take action against Heili.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask the hobbits...where is the Arkenstone." Thorin still stared at Bilbo fiercely.

"Is this the Arken gem you are talking about?" Abel took out the gem, weighed it casually, and threw it to Thorin, whose eyes were wide open.

Although this gemstone is rare, there is nothing special about it, it just looks very beautiful.

Moreover, to the dwarf clan, its more value is that it can represent the power of the dwarf king.

Abel has studied this gem before. It is somewhat similar to the energy stone on the stone giant's heart that he saw in Moria. However, it is not the same kind.

If the heart of the stone giant is a crystal with life energy, then the Arken gem is just a "dead" stone.

Bilbo was a little surprised to see Abel take out the Arken Stone so easily, but he didn't say anything.

"This is the Arken Gem...a unique gem in the world..." Thorin held the Arken Gem in his hands, his whole figure seemed to be in a daze, and his eyes revealed an undisguised light of greed.

Bilbo saw the strange look in Thorin's eyes. Suddenly he remembered what Smaug had told him: dwarves are a greedy and despicable race.

"Let's get out of here first. Smaug will be here soon." Abel said and walked out of the basement.

Not long after everyone left, Smaug also came to the entrance of the basement. It realized that if humans want to leave the basement, they will definitely come here.

"The stink of dwarf scum...I smell it..."

After Smaug arrived at the door of the basement, he sniffed hard and found the unique smell of dwarves in the air. This smell was too familiar to him.

Following the smell, Smaug chased him all the way to the hall. The smell of the dwarves was stronger here, and he smashed several stone pillars in anger.

Abel took Heili and the other three men and ran towards the furnace. Turning his head, he saw the soulless Thorin at the very back, holding the statue of the Arken gemstone.

"Thorin, if you don't want to die here, listen to me and put the stone away." Abel shouted to Thorin.

Thorin raised his head and glanced at Abel coldly, and finally reluctantly put the Arken Stone into his pocket.

After Smaug vented his anger in the hall, he followed the smell and chased towards the dwarf's weapons forge.

At this moment, the furnace in the dwarf arsenal was burning with blazing flames. From the huge crucible above the flames, golden liquid flowed out.
