#166 - The evil dragon Smaug~!
"What's wrong, Arwen, Liang Yue, how did you ~ uh, how did you find this path?"
Having just walked down the stairs, Thorin's gaze swept around, following Arwen's line of sight, and then he saw Liang Yue leaning against the rock.
Beside him, a passage about three meters high and ninety centimeters wide stood quietly.
Looking at the passage that seemed to appear out of nowhere, Thorin's gaze froze.
Then, with a look of surprise, he looked at Liang Yue, his eyes filled with questions and disbelief. The others around him were no better, all crowding at the entrance of the passage, peering inside.
"This is a cave I just dug out. Well, I just wanted to try and see if I could dig it, but I didn't expect it to actually work."
Liang Yue had a hint of smugness on his face at this time, pretending to be modest and casual.
"But, but when we sealed Durin's Folk, we dwarves added powerful magic to this rock wall. To enter Durin's Folk, you must follow the correct path."
As Thorin spoke, he hurriedly took out the map and the key from his arms, his eyes constantly shifting between them, the passage in front of him, and Liang Yue.
Slowly, a sense of frustration began to appear on his face.
"Maybe it's because my ability is special."
"…"
"Judging by this location, if my brain hasn't messed up my memory, this should lead to a side chamber of Durin's Folk. If you go down the stairs a little further, you can reach the treasure vault!"
The white-bearded dwarf tried hard to search his memory, and then turned back to the crowd with an excited look.
"After digging through this path, it does lead to a room, but the door to the room has been sealed by me. Our voices shouldn't reach Smaug yet."
Liang Yue briefly explained his previous actions, and also subtly reminded everyone that he had not rashly broken in.
As expected, this action immediately gained the favor of the dwarves, who showed their gratitude.
Thorin took a few deep breaths, quickly adjusted himself, stuffed the map and key back into his arms, and then looked at Liang Yue with sparkling eyes.
"Then, what's your plan next, Liang Yue? About ~ how to deal with Smaug."
"My plan is to try to eliminate Smaug on the spot, that is, to let it die in your treasure vault, and not let it escape, because that will inevitably cause the dragon's almost endless revenge.
Whether it's Durin's Folk or Lake-town under the mountain."
As he spoke, Liang Yue suddenly flipped his sleeve, and a shrunken obsidian cube appeared in his palm.
"So, in a while, I will try my best to use my ability to seal off all the exits of the treasure vault, at least to prevent Smaug's body from getting out of it.
Then, it will be a matter between me and the dragon!"
"You mean, you want to fight Smaug alone?"
"Yes ~"
"That's too dangerous, Liang Yue!"
"You can watch in the surrounding passages, ready to support at any time, but if everything goes smoothly, you will probably only be spectators."
"… Since you said so, okay."
"Also, I want to remind you of one thing, Thorin."
Looking at the dwarves who were eagerly entering the passage one after another, Liang Yue stopped Thorin, looking serious.
"What?"
"Although the time I spent inside just now was short, I felt a wave of evil curse in the air, which is a kind of bewitching black magic.
After hearing his words, the expression on Thorin's face froze, and then he patted Liang Yue's shoulder hard.
With a turn, he continued to walk into the passage ~
Seeing this, Liang Yue shook his head silently, thinking that this kid would definitely suffer as in the original plot.
Then, this guy grabbed Arwen's delicate little hand next to him, ready to drill into the passage ~
But then he was thrown away by the little girl, and then this princess didn't even look at him, and walked forward on her own.
"Hehe hehe ~"
In fact, Liang Yue didn't notice any curse-like aura when he entered the room at the other end of the passage before.
After all, he is still at a loss for things in the field of magic, and knows very little.
Reminding Thorin was just based on the development in the original plot, and was just giving him a preventive shot in advance.
Watching the blood of Durin's Folk decay and fall, it seems to be Smaug's plan and plot all along.
However, this so-called black magic curse does not seem to be as powerful as imagined.
According to the development of the original plot, Thorin was indeed affected to a certain extent after driving away Smaug. For a few days, he was immersed in the gold coins in the treasure vault and could not extricate himself.
But in the end, he was still able to overcome the magic with his own thoughts, suddenly woke up, and then led the dwarf army to charge into battle, and dared to die together in the battle with the orc leader Azog!
This at least proves that this so-called black magic is not an irreversible thing.
In Liang Yue's eyes, it can only be regarded as a form of suggestive mental suggestion at most.
"Speaking of which, since I drew the erhu and the erhu proficiency skill, I haven't used it yet. Do you want to take it out and show it this time?"
…
After arriving at the room where the torches were inserted before, Thorin and the other dwarves couldn't help but face the surrounding walls, the decayed wooden table, the scattered wine glasses, the wooden shelves in the corner, and even the oil lamps hanging on the wall, and everything else that was once there, and reminisced about it.
Afterwards, everyone began to make arrangements and arrangements according to Liang Yue's previous plan, that is, to seal Smaug in the treasure vault.
This so-called arrangement is actually very simple. Roughly speaking, they accurately told Liang Yue the location of the path around the treasure vault and the location of the portal, and then he went to seal them one by one ~
Tap tap tap…
"Be careful."
After waving the iron pickaxe and reopening the sealed stone door, Liang Yue immediately stepped into the deeper passage, facing Arwen's exhortation from his ear, and the concerned eyes of others.
That fellow simply made a V-sign at everyone before quickly disappearing into the darkness.
According to the dwarves, Liang Yue's workload for this trip wasn't actually that large.
Because within this dwarven kingdom, although there were indeed several paths leading to the treasure vault, only one could truly be traversed by Smaug, given his size.
Liang Yue also remembered that, according to the plot and information, the dragon Smaug was approximately one hundred and forty meters long.
Preventing such a creature from escaping a mountain structure that was quite developed and well-constructed didn't seem too difficult…
Silently arriving at the side of the treasure vault, in that spacious and tall main entrance, Liang Yue was now clinging to the pillar in front of the door, cautiously peeking into the massive structure below, which could be described as an ocean of gold coins.
Subsequently, he quietly retreated a few steps, flipped his sleeve, and a deep purple cube instantly appeared in his palm.
This thing was obsidian, also the most solid material in the MC world besides the world bedrock.
Its strength was unmatched even by diamonds!
Moreover, this material was extremely heat-resistant, as it was inherently a special material formed from the collision of infinite lava and infinite water sources.
Liang Yue knew very well that his obsidian, apart from sharing the same name and somewhat similar formation conditions, had very few similarities with obsidian in the real world.
In fact, obsidian had been given different meanings and attributes in different worlds.
In some places, it was regarded as an ornament, and after being polished, it was said to have the effect of warding off evil…
In other places, obsidian was also known as dragon crystal, which could be used as a weapon to eliminate the evil army of Other Ghosts.
In the world of MC, besides being responsible for being tough, this obsidian could also be used to build a gate to hell!
In short, the obsidian cube that Liang Yue had taken out was the most solid material he could currently find, and he believed that its initial appearance would definitely bring him surprises~!
“Pa pa pa~” “Pa pa pa~” “Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa~” …
Retreating to the edge of the main entrance, Liang Yue now had no more hesitation and immediately began to frantically wave his hand at the wide passage in front of him.
Subsequently, dark purple cubes, each ninety centimeters square, quickly covered the passage at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just five or six minutes, the gate in front of him, nearly a hundred meters high and over one hundred and fifty meters wide, had been blocked by a layer of obsidian walls.
Only a small door, three units high and two units wide, was left in the middle for passage.
Everything was done silently~
However, Liang Yue was not satisfied at this time. In order to make his arrangement more complete, he once again began to stack more obsidian cubes on the passage in front of him, as if he had cramps.
He stacked more than a dozen layers backward, until all of his recent stocks were exhausted, before he stopped contentedly.
Afterward, Liang Yue slowly tidied up his clothes, and with a light step, walked towards the treasure vault through the passage in the middle.
While walking, he was whistling, accompanied by the melody of the famous Twisted Nerve devil angel from Kill Bill.
He slowly walked down the steps, slowly stepping onto the ocean of gold coins.
“Smaug~~~!”
“Sm~aug~!”
“Smau~g!”
After three calls, a wriggling movement suddenly stirred beneath the gold coins in front of him, like undulating ripples.
Slowly, with the crisp sound of massive amounts of gold coins flowing and colliding, a huge figure was slowly standing up.
It slowly climbed up from under the countless gold coins.
Between the movement of its limbs, the gold, like a waterfall of quicksand, constantly fell from its body.
The spreading of its wings, the extension of its claws, the winding and flicking of its slender giant tail, and even the flexible twisting of its slender neck.
Every movement it made at this time seemed so casual, so gentle and slow.
So~ full of arrogance and contempt.
Obviously, in its long dragon life, it had become accustomed to this posture, and also accustomed to facing any existence that dared to come before it from a condescending height.
“Who's there~?”
At the very moment those words fell, Smaug's huge body was still facing away from Liang Yue.
Its head, covered with scales, had only just begun to turn towards him.
Seeing this, how could Liang Yue be polite with the other party!
With a thought, a wooden bucket suddenly appeared beside him, and then he grabbed the edge of the bucket and quickly threw it forcefully at the top of the other party's head.
Then, he flipped his hands, and a shotgun instantly appeared in his hand, aiming at the opportunity.
“Ka ka~”
“Bang~!”
Along with the muffled sound of gunfire, the flying wooden bucket immediately burst into pieces.
Large pieces of red liquid began to spray in all directions!
Under Liang Yue's gaze, a splash of pepper spray, propelled by the explosion, quickly covered Smaug's head, which had just turned around.
The torrential red liquid directly smashed into its two lantern-like dragon eyes!
“It's done~”
Seeing this, Liang Yue immediately threw the shotgun back into the storage space, and at the same time, with another thought, he completed the legendary one-second costume change in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, a set of enchanted armor, enough to be used as a colored light in a KTV, immediately replaced the original blank set on his body, and various colorful halos appeared on the surface of his body.
Then, he flipped his sleeve, and the rabbit scout hat, which had been upgraded to the maximum level, instantly appeared in his hand, and he quickly put it on his head, putting the crystal goggles on his eye sockets.
Looking at the pepper spray that was spreading towards his direction, Liang Yue then curved his mouth, strode his legs, and "whoosh~" disappeared in place instantly!
