Seeing the lonely mountain means that they see hope, but unfortunately, such a large forest will be a battlefield for the expeditionary team and the orc cavalry.

In the following time, all the dwarves regarded Bilbo as a real partner, and even some spying on the military intelligence made Bilbo come forward, and he was worthy of the role of a thief, with light steps and a cool head, he could always spot the pursuers at the first time.

Yes, the half-orc cavalry, led by the blasphemer Azog, quickly pursued.

It was another evening, and Gandalf and the dwarves hid in a crevice in the rocks, while Bilbo went out to find information.

Behind a rock, Bilbo poked his head out, and found not only the orcs in pursuit, but also a huge bear with a body nearly ten meters long, which was obviously not easy to mess with.

It seems that everyone is in more trouble than the orcs, because the bear is in the way of the crowd.

With this bad news, Bilbo returned to the dwarf pile.

"How? Did they find you? "

Gandalf was more concerned about whether the expedition had been exposed, and although they knew that the orcs were chasing them down, they hadn't fought head-on since the Wind King rescued them last time.

"Didn't find me. But..."

Bilbo said breathlessly, but before he could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Gandalf's proud words.

"Well, I said it, light feet, no wind to come and go, born thief material !!"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, Bilbo is so suitable!!"

Gandalf and the dwarves were happy there, but Bilbo, who was not happy, poured cold water on everyone.

"Wait, I'm not done yet, I just saw something else outside, I don't think it's appropriate for us to continue this route, I suggest we go another way..."

It was clear that Bilbo felt that the bear was not something that a dozen of his own people could solve.

"No, we can't turn back, it's all surrounded by orcs!!"

Thorin directly refused, it was obvious that it would be unwise to go back and fight with the orcs, if you don't get these dozen or so people to lose, what is there to talk about the great cause of restoring the country.

"But... I see...."

Bilbo was about to speak, obviously he didn't want to frighten these friends, but Gandalf shrank his eyes and said:

"Did you see a bear..."

"Yes, it's a bear, but it's much bigger than a normal bear!!"

Ao Long knew, it must be the bear man Bion in the original book, a shapeshifter, or the prototype of a druid.

When he became a bear, he didn't recognize his six relatives, and he was infinitely powerful, and he could tear tigers and leopards by hand, but after becoming a human, he had a gentle personality and was still very easy to get along with.

In the original book, Bion's home has a fairytale style. He lived in an oak grove to the north of the old forest road, surrounded by thorns, with wooden stables, barns, and small huts. His dwelling was a long, narrow and low hall with two protruding wings on the sides and a balcony. His home is full of flowers and plants, a hive full of bees, and a variety of animals that live with him—including cows, Mianyang, horses, and dogs.

And this is the existence of one person who can take on an army, Ao Long is very suspicious that Gandalf brought everyone here to find allies for Thorin, it is obvious that with the current level of Thorin and the others, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to defeat the orc army.

"I know there's a house around here, and we can go and hide there."

Gandalf thought about it for a moment and said, "He's talking about Bion's house."

"Is the owner of that house friend or foe?"

This is what Thorin is more concerned about, if it is an enemy, then it is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap, if it is a friend, it is just right to find an ally.

"Neither, he's either going to help us or kill us!!"

Gandalf said calmly, obviously not confident in his heart that he could convince the shapeshifter.

"Do we have any other options?"

"No !!"

Gandalf ruthlessly dashed the dwarves' hopes, and took the lead in turning and moving on.

Ao Long knew that this shapeshifter Bean hated dwarves, but he hated orcs even more, because half-orcs killed a lot of his clansmen, so Ao Long felt that although the shapeshifters were very strong, there was a limit, otherwise they would not have been killed a lot by half-orcs.

You must know that Bean the Bear is boasted as the most capable individual among the Hobbits, and in Ao Long's opinion, he just has an amplified version of the bear's strength.

Under the guidance of Gandalf, the leading party, the expedition crossed the sea of flowers and crossed a long river.

"Run!!

Gandalf roared, for behind him, a pack of wolves had appeared, the wolf vanguard of the orcs.

Finally in the middle of a dense forest, the dwarves saw a farm-like yard, and the dwarves ran forward frantically, because, according to Gandalf, after entering the house, it was temporarily safe.

Just when everyone thought it was safe, a huge bear suddenly sprang out of the dense forest, and it was clear that this was the one Bilbo had seen before.

"Hurry up and close the door, close the door !!"

The dwarves shouted loudly, and finally locked the door to the house before the bear pounced on him, and the bear was shut out.

What is strange is that the bear did not attack the house, otherwise it is obvious that the house would not be able to hold it with his strength.

"What's that...."

Hearing that it was quiet outside, the dwarves asked with trepidation.

"That's the owner of this house, a shapeshifter, and his name is Bion. When he turned into a bear, he was very vicious, but when he became a human, he was still very gentle, and he didn't like dwarves very much!! "

As he spoke, Gandalf began to look at the surrounding buildings, and it was clear that it was a cattle pen because there were a lot of cattle in it.

"Don't go near him, he must have been cursed with evil!!"

When a dwarf heard Gandalf's introduction, he immediately thought that Bion must have been viciously cursed for this state.

"Don't be stupid, no one but himself can curse him!!"

Gandalf knew something about Bion's strength.

"Okay, let's sleep, it's safe here for the time being."

After looking back and forth, Gandalf said to the dwarves, it was clear that Bion, who was in a bear state, should have a relatively gentle personality when he returned.

Ao Long was very interested and began to visit Bion's house, he knew that Bion should be out attacking the orcs who hated him, and those wolves were under the paws of the bear, like papier-mâché, and he quickly repelled them.

Bion's home has all kinds of animal crafts, and it is clear that this Bion is very fond of animals because he can transform into a bear, and Ao Long thinks that if he follows this route, he may be able to subdue Bion.

And Bilbo Baggins took the opportunity to look at the One Ring and once again awakened the demon lord Sauron in the darkness.

The leader of the orcs, Asog the Blasphemer, has been summoned back by Sauron to take command of more armies, and it is clear that Sauron will take a big action against this expedition to the Lonely Mountain.
