Chapter 237 Returning to the World as a Skeleton
"Staying in the water all the time is not a problem."
With the addition of a fire-breathing long-range attack, the most basic self-protection and deterrence capabilities can be considered.
Therefore, Chu Xin completely controlled the body, and the energy completely different from that of flesh and blood creatures was sent to every bone.
Hu~hu~
His hind limbs and wings began to tremble, drawing water ripples.
With the long-lost movement, the rotten flesh gradually detached and turned into loose and soft lumps or flocs.
Whoosh!
Chu Xin flapped his wings vigorously, turning the calm lake upside down, affecting the boats passing by, and the fishermen looked around in horror.
They were shocked to find that countless schools of fish were scrambling to escape quickly and swim to various tributaries.
boom!
The surface of the lake exploded, and the water flowed straight into the air like a blooming fountain.
"Roar--"
Accompanied by hissing ferocious dragon chant, Chu Xin broke through the water with great momentum.
After a series of movements, most of the scales, flesh and internal organs on his body disappeared, only the broken flesh was dragged on a few places such as the wings, neck, back, tail, etc., especially on the wings, it seemed that strands of torn flesh were hanging. Broken banner.
The thick spine is undoubtedly a tough tree trunk, and the slender ribs are arranged in an orderly manner, revealing the dark beauty of the tightly assembled bones.
Sharp teeth, sharp claws, and tail stabs are all as sharp as knives and sharp as spears, and they are the world's top magical weapons.
On the cold white skull, two dark red flames suddenly lit up in the two sunken eye socket holes, replacing the eyeballs, providing Chu Xin with a dark and gloomy filter vision.
The length from the beginning to the end is still 140 meters, but the weight is not as good as before, at about [-] tons.
However, Chu Xin, the image of the dead as a skeletal dragon, is more terrifying than the already fierce Smaug!
He was suspended at an altitude of a thousand meters, overlooking the Middle-earth continent full of many legends for the first time.
"Below is Changhu Town, and there is River Valley Town. The development is quite good, and the scale is much larger than that of the Hobbit. Um~ that is Lonely Mountain. Inside is the kingdom under the mountain controlled by dwarves."
Although Chu Xin did nothing, it caused an uproar comparable to a magnitude [-] earthquake in Changhu Town and Hegu Town.
At this moment, everyone put down their work and stood there blankly, looking up in horror with a stiff expression.
There was no momentary panic, and people seemed to be in hallucinations, otherwise how to explain the picture in front of them?
But the pair of flaming eyes were so lifelike, and the strong withered smell kept getting into the nostrils, making it difficult for women and children to breathe.
All signs are telling everyone: This is the undeniable reality!
"Rotting dragon carcass? Smaug?"
"how is this possible!"
"The dragon is resurrected ~ run!"
There was no need for anyone to remind, the residents of Changhu Town ran away at the same time, dragging their families and fleeing towards the outside of the town.
In the crowded fleeing team, an old couple rowed hard.
"It's all your fault for saying some unlucky things in the morning!" the old woman cursed.
"Heh! I'm a god who can't follow the words? It comes back to life as soon as I open my mouth?" The old man was also helpless, and couldn't help wondering if he was the reincarnation of a necromancer.
"I hope that the tragic situation of the past will not be repeated. It will just fly away like this." The old woman tremblingly said, looking at the pale and tearful faces around her, she couldn't help but think back to her childhood.
After a short period of panic, the guards in Changhu Town organized the evacuation of the people under the order of the mayor.
As for the matter of fighting the evil dragon, the small Changhu Town has no qualifications and capital, so it is lucky not to be a burden.
woo-
In the distance, on the winding city wall of Hegu Town, horns symbolizing war were sounded.
Then the soldiers pushed out the huge crossbows with thick crossbow arrows on them.
The archers lined up, their expressions extremely tense.
In the past 60 years, these young people are the new generation who have never seen Smaug, and they are undoubtedly shocked and frightened as they have never seen a dragon.
However, they did not launch an attack recklessly, but watched the situation cautiously, staring at Chu Xin hovering high in the sky.
In other words, the soldiers are waiting for the arrival of the backbone.
"Everyone, 60 years ago my grandfather Bud killed Smaug bravely, and today, 60 years later, we who have inherited the spirit of the dragon slayer, as long as we have the courage and wisdom, we will surely be able to kill it a second time. !"
A brown-haired man strode up, with a sword on his waist and a bow on his back. Although there was a trace of instinctive fear in his eyes, the brows always remained firm.
The third king of the Valley State, the grandson of Bard the Dragon Slayer - Brand!
The arrival and encouragement of the king immediately stabilized the morale of the soldiers and ignited their blood.
Their ancestors all participated in the bloody and tragic Battle of the Five Armies. The pride and fearlessness in their bones have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are also boiling in the face of the enemy.
"Smaug, the flaming dragon, was shot through the heart by my grandfather with a black arrow, fell into the long lake and died," Brand stared at Chu Xin, "The resurrection of the dead came back to the world as a skeleton, it is unknown sign."
He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, suppressed the panic in his heart, and kept reminding himself to remain calm.
"My lord, do you need to notify the Kingdom under the Mountain?" a follower asked.
"They have seen it, and they will definitely send reinforcements." Brand replied with great confidence.
For decades, River Valley State has established a deep friendship with the Kingdom of the Mountain.
As he said, Chu Xin was indeed found on Gushan.
After all, you can see everything from the gate of Gushan, not to mention that Chu Xin is not a little ant with no sense of existence, as long as he is not blind, he can see the fossil specimens floating in the air.
"Smaug is back? Don't you fool me for being a three-year-old!"
The dwarf king Ironfoot Dyne immediately came to the gate of the city when he heard the news. He just took the telescope handed by the soldier and threw it back.
Because there is no need to use that thing at all, you can see the bones of the bone dragon clearly.
"What a ghost, can you fly with only the skeleton?" Dyne stared at the people around him dumbfounded, wanting to confirm to them whether he was suffering from dragon disease and hallucinations.
But the shock was the shock, and he knew that his human friend was in a precarious situation, and could be attacked by Smaug at any time.
"Prepare the ballista, once that beast attacks, shoot it down, never let Lonely Mountain fall again," Dyin shouted in a deep voice, "Also, send elite troops to help Hegu Town, we will I want to drink with Brand in a few days, but I can't let that brat be trampled to death."
The people below were extremely busy, and everyone's normal life was also broken. However, as the instigator, Chu Xin, flapped his wings calmly, flew slowly, and felt the unique body feedback.
He could see everything people did.
But Chu Xin didn't swoop down and start killing like a psychopath.
No need!
Slaughtering civilians can't increase proficiency, nor can it satisfy spiritual needs. The key is that he is new here, so he doesn't have to be so arrogant and domineering, and the business is to get familiar with himself as soon as possible.
It is human nature and a logical move for others to be on guard against and afraid of bone-dripping monsters like themselves. If they cheer and welcome warmly, Chu Xin will feel that there is a ghost.
"As long as it doesn't take the initiative to attack us, don't act rashly. This guy is a bit different from the Smaug in the records." Brand raised his hand suspiciously, calming down the nervous soldiers.
In the records of River Valley Town, Smaug is described as follows: "A huge dark red dragon descended from the sky, using its sharp claws, hammer tail, flames and words to wantonly ravage helpless humans, and the whole city howled in the flames. The sky resounds with the sharp jeer of the dragon, the embodiment of evil and greed, who will not tolerate the slightest offense from others."
Brand repeatedly compared the text and reality, always feeling completely different.
According to Smaug's disposition, he rushed into Changhu Town and started a massacre, and was lured by gold, silver and jewels to fly to Lonely Mountain.
But what is Smaug doing now?
Flying around like a newborn baby, manipulating the body a little unskillfully, as if coming to this world for the first time, full of curiosity about everything.
As the lord of a country, Brand did not dare to treat any order as a joke.
The so-called preemptive strike is to ensure that the strength gap between the two sides is not too big, but in the current situation, how could he take the initiative to provoke disaster.
In this way, the two sides formed a delicate balance.
Residents in Hegu Town talked a lot.
"What the hell is it doing?"
"The behavior of the evil dragon is unpredictable, after all, its heart is full of evil thoughts."
"Is it thinking about where to attack first?"
"Impossible. When facing a weak enemy, Smaug has no brain at all, let alone thinking. It will only brutally burn all the life it sees to death." An 80-year-old old man said.
"I guess the brain is rotten. It can't remember anything, right? Now it's just following the instinct of undead creatures." A scholar guessed.
There are different opinions, saying everything.
No one would have imagined that the famous Smaug was using his memories to piece together a map and chronicle of Middle-earth.
There are many races in this world, among which humans, elves, dwarves, orcs are the main ones, and even the aloof gods.
And these races split into different faction countries, which are scattered in various places in the southeast, northwest and north.
"It's even more chaotic than the Warring States period, it's just a mess." Chu Xin complained in his heart.
But these races can be divided into two camps according to justice and evil.
Elves, dwarves, and humans form alliances when necessary, and they negotiate or hate each other on weekdays, and the situation in each country is different.
This "necessary" refers to Sauron, the Dark Lord.
The evil side is the dark force headed by Sauron, which consists of Orcs, Orcs, Dongyi, Harad, Dragons, Balrogs and so on.
"I remember that Sauron seems to be a fallen demigod, originally a servant of the god called Maya," Chu Xin continued to recall, "There are gods in this world, and their name is Vera, the elder brother of the king of gods, Morgoth. Fallen into a demon, and Sauron is Morgoth's lieutenant."
Sauron's goal is clichéd and clear, that is to unify Middle-earth.
In the Second Era, he disguised himself as a friendly gifted master, tricked the elves into casting more than a dozen magic rings, and secretly cast dark magic on the magic rings, so that they could corrupt the mind and be controlled by him.
Sauron's plan went smoothly, and these Lord of the Rings were distributed to leaders such as dwarves and humans, in order to achieve his ambition of conquering Middle-earth without shooting a knife or a gun.
Sauron also secretly cast a "Supreme Lord of the Rings" that can control all the Lord of the Rings, which is the core link that contributes to the success of the plan.
It's a pity that the conspiracy was finally uncovered, and a war broke out between various tribes and Sauron. After all kinds of hardships, he was wounded and repelled.
To this day, Sauron is undeterred, and has been developing crazily undercurrents. His dark forces are entrenched and rooted in the southeast, and he is constantly at war with the strongest human kingdom.
In short, this world is very complex and cumbersome, comparable to the beginning of the earth's civilization to the 21st century.
Whether it is history or race, or the secrets from ancient times to the present, Chu Xin will not be able to sort it out for a while. He can only build a framework in his mind first so that he will not wander around like a headless chicken.
Hu~hu~
Chu Xin overlooked the dwarf army coming out of the lonely mountain, and then looked at the trembling people in Hegu Town. He suddenly accelerated the flapping of his wings, disappeared into the clouds and mist under countless pairs of puzzled eyes, and disappeared without a trace.
"It's gone, and something has changed in Smaug." After the oppression between the sky and the earth faded, Brand heaved a sigh of relief.
"Perhaps it is no longer Smaug, and the rebirth is another life? To be honest, I have never heard of this kind of corpse type of undead creature. I have only heard of ghosts. Maybe Gandalf the Gray understands something." Foot Dyne, he climbed up the city wall with big strides.
That's right, the dwarf king led his army down the mountain in person. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of Hegu Town, Chu Xin disappeared.
"I didn't expect you to come here in person." Brand was very moved.
"Don't be like a bitch, I'm already down, I can't make a trip in vain, you are in charge of the dinner, and I'm not a vegetarian." Ironfoot Dyne said with a rough smile.
"However, I'm worried." Brand whispered worriedly.
"Why are you worrying as much as your grandfather? When the enemy comes, fight it. Use hammer and tomahawk to greet them. Don't worry yourself to death before you start fighting." Ironfoot Dyne patted Brand, "This matter will soon spread throughout Middle-earth, and I think Gandalf should also hear about it."
……
To the southeast of the River Valley is the Great Wilderness of Rhovanian, where once there was a human kingdom called Rhovanian.
To the east of the Great Wilderness is a land called Loen.
The Dongyi people with a tribal structure lived here, also known as the eastern barbarians, all of them were brave and good at fighting, and they surrendered to Sauron and belonged to the dark camp.
The Rovanian Kingdom was destroyed by the Dongyi people.
Whoosh!
Chu Xin soared in the vast sky above the wilderness, and landed on a mountain overgrown with dead trees, planning to make a plan in this quiet place.
Suddenly, he felt the vibration of the ground.
In the canyon not far away, a group of cavalry galloped out, with a clear goal and went straight to Chuxin.
Not humans, not dwarves, not elves.
Riding a giant wolf is an ugly half-orc Orc!
