Chapter 236 Chu Xin: I am Monkey King, right? (new world)
Hearing Smaug's sarcasm, the man named Bud gripped the broken crossbow, helpless for a while.
How can ordinary human beings have the qualifications to fight against the giant dragon at the top of the pyramid of combat power on their own?
You know, the Lonely Mountain, where Smaug now lives, was once the greatest dwarf kingdom, with gold, silver and jewels coveted by the entire Middle-earth, as well as a rigorous and powerful industrial chain.
But Smaug suppressed it with absolute power, slaughtered and expelled the dwarves arbitrarily, and occupied their territory and treasures. All tribes longed for treasures, but they were all afraid of giant dragons. No one approached the Lonely Mountain for many years.
Destroyed a country with his own power, and burned down the human settlement Hegu Town at the foot of the mountain!
As a descendant of the leader of River Valley Town, Bard is naturally very aware of the gap between them.
"Dad~"
At this time, a young man climbed up the wooden tower with a black arrow like a spear.
Bud just wanted to blame his son for taking the risk, but when he saw the black arrow, a bold and crazy plan sprouted in an instant.
This black arrow has an extraordinary history.
It was made by the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain. It is completely black and has a strange shape. The arrow is hollowed out and twisted, resembling a gene spiral.
Most importantly, its sharpness can even penetrate the scales of giant dragons!
Many years ago, River Valley Town was attacked by Smaug, and Bard's ancestors used black arrows to fight back, knocking off a piece of scale on its left chest. When he was about to use the last black arrow to kill him, Smaug shot first.
And the only surviving black arrow was passed down to Bard from generation to generation.
He has been waiting for the day when the long-cherished wish of his ancestors will be fulfilled!
Right now, it is undoubtedly fate.
"Bain, stand in front and don't move around." Bud asked his son to come to him, and put the black arrow on his shoulder.
Afterwards, Bard removed the bowstring from the broken crossbow, tied both ends to the stakes of the wooden tower, and put the tail end of the black arrow on the string.
In this way, a simple artificial ballista was formed.
Bard pulled hard, tightening the bowstring, aiming again and again at the missing scale on Smaug's left chest.
This is undoubtedly a risky move, with a low success rate. Even Bard, who has the attributes of a sharpshooter engraved in his blood, sweated a lot.
The raging fire completely ignited Changhu Town, and countless horrific screams and wailings hit the brain nerves of the father and son.
"Ants fighting to the death? No, no, no, human, you haven't recognized the reality. I am the great fire dragon Smaug. My scales are like indestructible armor. You and your child are so fragile that they will die if you pinch them. How dare you stand there and confront me!"
Perhaps a dragon has lived alone for too long. Apart from all the bad habits of most evil dragons, Smaug is also an out-and-out arrogant chatterbox, and he will chat with the enemy non-stop if he is not careful.
No, it fell to the ground, taunting the enemy and showing off itself, while slowly walking towards Bard, not caring whether the only weakness in the chest was exposed or not.
It embodies the word arrogance to the fullest!
While crawling on the front legs of the wings, the chest was completely exposed, and the black depression was also printed in Bard's eyes.
hum!
At this moment, Bard let go of his hand keenly, and shot out the black arrow that was spinning at high speed.
Looking at the cold crossbow arrows, Smaug vaguely felt something was wrong, but the arrogance in his bones made him not take any precautions or evade, but opened his mouth to spray out dragon flames.
puff!
Long Yan had already reached the root of the throat, but the black arrow hit the left chest with precision one step first, and the force of the explosion pierced through, sinking into the flesh and blood.
Bard's ancestors were obviously also skilled and experienced marksmen, because the inside of the missing scale was Smaug's heart.
"Roar--"
In an instant, Smaug raised his head and screamed, the unprecedented pain and threat of death made him extremely terrified.
Without leaving a single word, it fluttered its wings and flew high, its strong desire to survive drove it to leave this place.
It's a pity that when it was at the same height as the clouds, the broken heart also stopped beating for the last time.
Breathing stops, eyesight is lax, and movements are fatigued.
Two seconds later, Smaug's golden eyes became dim like an extinguished candle, becoming a lifeless dragon corpse.
Then, its huge body completely lost power, and fell backwards to the ground.
The fleeing people looked up at the same time, shock and joy creeping up their cheeks.
"It's Bud!"
"Bud shot the dragon!"
Naturally, someone witnessed the shocking scene with their own eyes.
boom--
Smaug fell hard.
Its heavy body hit a corner of Changhu Town, directly crushing several houses, and then sank to the bottom of the lake.
The seemingly sloppy and rough way of death has long been foreshadowed, and it is destined to be killed by Bard.
At this point, the last dragon of the third era of Middle-earth fell to death!
And Bard became famous in just a few days, and the world called him the dragon slayer!
For many years thereafter, Smaug's body sank to the bottom of the Long Lake.
Even though its scales, bones, and teeth have many uses, and there are many gold coins and precious stones left on its body, no one has salvaged it, let alone dismembered it for sale.
Because the dragon is an ominous omen, no one can guarantee whether it will be cursed after being contaminated. After the reconstruction, the people of Changhu Town even abandoned the large area where it fell and died, and they didn't have the courage to approach it at all.
……
60 years later.
Today's Changhu Town has gotten rid of poverty and become rich, and people live a prosperous and stable life.
Of course, the people in Changhu Town were originally from River Valley Town. After Smaug’s death, some of them moved back to River Valley Town with its superior terrain and prosperous buildings with Bard. The king of succession lies in the descendants.
However, Changhu Town was not directly abandoned. The remaining people used the treasures in the Gushan Palace to rebuild it and became an important waterway trade port.
Huhu~
The river breeze in the morning blows over this water town with the fresh smell of the dense forest.
An elderly woman pushed open a window on the third floor and took a deep breath of air enjoying herself.
Her eyes drifted to the waters in the distance, where Smaug fell that year, and most of the surrounding houses were demolished, leaving only a wooden board for people to walk on.
But looking at the deserted scene that is incompatible with Changhu Town, no one has set foot there for a long time.
"I was only 12 years old at that time, and I became old in a blink of an eye. Thanks to Mr. Bard, everyone has a good life. Now his grandson is the king of the valley. Time flies so fast." The woman said with emotion.
"A few days ago, the weather was fine and the sun was dazzling. Several of us saw the dead dragon on the cliff." An old man came with a teapot. When the sun shines down on it, it looks like a piece of devil amber, as if it is not dead, but is dormant at the bottom of the water waiting to be revived."
The old man is a cultured person, and his words and sentences are quite picturesque, which made the old woman on the side frown.
She quickly slapped his mouth, "Shut up, don't say bad words! It's dead to the bone, how can it be revived!"
"I'm just talking nonsense, why do you take it seriously." The old man hurriedly comforted his wife.
"Don't make fun of this kind of thing, it's better to kill such an evil monster as Smaug." The old woman snorted.
The couple closed the window, turned around, and went to have breakfast.
A lively day in Changhu Town has begun again.
The fishermen sailed out of the port in their small boats, and the guards on the night shift went home to catch up on sleep.
Women and children shuttled through the streets and alleys, going to the market where various goods were sold.
Today's Hegu Town and Changhu Town are friendly with the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom and the elves of the Woodland Kingdom. With the help of these two awesome neighbors, it's hard not to think about developing.
The long-term prosperity and peace have made people gradually forget the pain of history, and have also downplayed the sense of crisis.
As everyone knows, the old man's jokes are a prophecy!
Whoa~ whoa~
There are folds and waves on the sparkling lake, and fat fish sometimes jump up and sometimes sneak.
But there is one place where no creature comes close.
Or rather, they fear.
In the southwest direction of Long Lake Town, going straight to the bottom of the lake, Smaug's huge body is buried here.
It has never been so quiet and kind in its life, and its motionless appearance is very cute.
The red-golden scales that were once shining have lost their luster, as dull as dead old tree bark, and the flesh and internal organs under the skin have long been rotted and festered. As long as there is a foreign object touching it, it will immediately melt into powder, only the bones of the whole body Still hard as iron.
It was completely devoid of vitality, and exuded a breathless decayed atmosphere from the inside to the outside, mixed with the ferocious majesty that once belonged to the dragon clan, and conflicted with a kind of beauty of death.
Suddenly, the tip of the tail of the dragon corpse seemed to move.
The sloshing arc is very small, which may also be an illusion caused by water flow and sunlight.
The school of fish in the distance seemed to have noticed something strange, and under the control of their instincts, without intelligence, they fled away.
……
"where am I?"
"What character is it this time, it feels so strange~"
"Why is there such a strong and strong breath of death? Is the place where I am located a battlefield or a tomb?"
"It's so cold, but it's not like a simple low temperature~"
"Hey! Something's wrong, what kind of opening did the system arrange for me?"
Chu Xin, whose consciousness is in the dark, began to think boredly based on his only sense.
Gradually, a blank card emerged.
An invisible brush is drawn on it, and the name and vertical painting are fully revealed at the same time.
"Ok?"
Chu Xin was surprised in his heart.
Because that standing painting is a distinctive western dragon.
"Smaug the Skeletal Dragon?" Chu Xin read out the words above.
That's right, this is a skeleton dragon with rotting flesh and bones!
"Isn't Smaug the evil dragon in the Lord of the Rings series? He was shot to death by Bard because of his chatterbox." Chu Xin suddenly realized that he had arrived in the famous Middle-earth Continent.
hum~
Bloody characters appear - "Lord of the Rings" movie series.
Sure enough, Chu Xin guessed right.
"Looking at it this way, it's true that I became Smaug through time travel, but it's the corpse of a dragon after death," Chu Xin thought for a while, "It's interesting!"
Speaking of the six films of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", we have to mention the original novel "The Lord of the Rings".
As the originator of Western magical epics, it has a profound influence on Western fantasy literature, laying the foundation for many settings, and many later works have been used for reference.
May I ask who doesn't know the fascinating world of Middle-earth?
Vocabulary such as elves, dwarves, orcs, dragons, wizards, etc., are full of fascinating and huge magic power, just like the fairyland in Chinese legends.
Chu Xin withdrew his thoughts and focused his attention on the moment.
buzz~
All senses are on the line, he has already perceived the water flow and the sound of water.
But he didn't get up and act directly, and continued to play dead. No, strictly speaking, he was indeed dead, and now he should be classified as an undead creature.
"Fortunately, I've seen The Hobbit, otherwise I really don't know the ins and outs." Chu Xin muttered to himself.
"The Hobbit" is a prequel to "Lord of the Rings," with a 60-year gap between the two storylines.
The story of the former is quite simple:
"The kingdom of dwarves in the Lonely Mountain, because of its endless treasures, has attracted Smaug who also likes gold, silver and jewelry.
As a dragon, it slaughtered the dwarves unreasonably and occupied the magpie's nest by force.
The displaced dwarves were forced to relocate, and had a fierce war with the half-orc Orcs. The king and most of the tribe died in battle, and his grandson Sorin and others survived.
Later, under the guidance of the gray-robed wizard Gandalf, Thorin embarked on the road of restoration. During this period, he met the hobbit Bilbo, and a dozen of them embarked on an adventure.
Enraged by their return to the Lonely Mountain, Smaug vented his anger on Long Lake, where he lost his life.
Sorin successfully regained the kingdom, but he contracted the dragon disease. In short, he was confused by the treasure and became selfish and mercenary, which offended the elves and humans, and the battlefield broke out.
Just when the elves and dwarves were fighting in full swing, the Orcs were ordered by the dark lord Sauron to go to fish for profit, setting off the famous Battle of the Five Armies.
In the end, the dwarf king Thorin and the leader of the Orcs died together, the war ended, and the various tribes entered a rare period of peace. "
The latter is an epic struggle between the pros and the villains about the Lord of the Rings.
Chu Xin estimates that he is in the timeline of "Lord of the Rings".
"Let me see what ability I have now."
He began to examine the new, broken body.
The panel opens:
【Smaug the Dragon of Bones】
Proficiency: 0%
Record: A body of bones that has been separated from flesh and blood, with the ability to fly, brute force that is not weak but not strong; immortality that will not be completely annihilated unless it is completely disintegrated
100% super skills: None
"It's really dead, the function of breathing fire in life is gone, forget it, don't ask too much for a skeleton." Chu Xin was not discouraged.
At this time, it will be time to use the 5 gashapon machine draw opportunities he has stored up.
Fortunately, he didn't use it much in the last world.
He immediately turned on the gashapon machine.
Apart from anything else, it was two draws in a row.
The first one will be rolled out first, and it will be turned on automatically:
"[Skeletal Dragon's Flame] (Give the authority of the flames to the skeleton body, which can spray dragon flames from the mouth. The power is equal to that of Smaug before he was alive. It can be upgraded and has great potential)."
Before Chu Xin could think about it, the second gashapon also got out.
Seeing the real cards inside, he suddenly woke up and played ten guaranteed cards!
Gacha opening:
"New card [Phoenix City] (from an unknown small mobile city in the movie "Looting the City")"
The vertical painting above is a small steel city full of steam wind.
It is said to be a city, but it is actually similar to Howl's moving castle, where houses are closely pieced together and move on wheels or crawlers underneath.
Chu Xin was taken aback for a moment, a little unexpected.
He's seen this doomsday steampunk movie, after all, it's quite offensive, and the setting of plundering and devouring cities is also very novel.
But this card~
Boy, is the way of the system so wild?
After the dragon corpse of the undead system, the city has been created!
