Half a month later, the team finally crossed the Misty Mountains.

Fortunately, during this period, the team did not encounter any danger. The nearby Oaks had already escaped, and it would take time for the Nazgul to bring the news to Sauron.

At most, they are just a few wild mountain trolls. They cannot cause any trouble, and the giant hammer of the sand forest can easily smash them flat.

Further ahead, there is the gentle wilderness below the mountains. The Anduin River flows down from the gray mountains in the north, leading directly to Rohan and Gondor. This is also the most important river in human society, but this is not the route of Tang Sen and others.

They need to cross the Anduin River, pass through the dark jungle, and reach the Lonely Mountain.

Tang Sen remembered that there were skin-changers living in the wilderness——

A magical human being who can transform into a giant bear.

Unfortunately, until Tang Sen crossed the wilderness and came to the Dark Forest, he could not find any trace of the skin-changer. Perhaps only a wizard like Gandalf, who is familiar with every inch of Middle-earth, could find him.

Tang Sen doesn't force it. The skin-changer is indeed a powerful fighter, but as long as he reaches Gushan, he will not lack combat power.

"This jungle looks a bit..." Shalin raised his head and looked at the weird-shaped branches, "Sick!"

Even standing on the outskirts of the jungle, no one can see through the scene within two or three trees. A strange fog seems to envelope the jungle, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"The place where the elves live." Thorin mocked: "You can hardly expect this to be a good place."

"This place used to be called the Giant Green Forest." Tang Sen said: "It was a lush and beautiful jungle. Until a thousand years ago, a necromancer established the Dogul Fortress on the south side. The place began to be shrouded in darkness, so the name was changed.

It’s the Dark Jungle, which is what we call the Great Jungle.”

"That necromancer." Tang Sen emphasized: "That is Sauron."

"We have been neighbors with Sauron for a thousand years, but these elves don't know anything about it. They even hid in the northernmost part of the dense forest." Thorin said: "You can't expect them to do anything. I'm afraid they will be angry when they see the Oaks."

They will be so scared that they will run away."

Tang Sen ignored Thorin's words and led everyone along the edge of the dense forest for a while. Finally, he saw some traces of man-made creations, which were a stone staircase and an arch carved with elven patterns.

"The Elf Trail, along this road we can pass through the dense forest without getting lost in it."

"I don't want to take the path of the elves." Thorin frowned.

"Then we need to go another two hundred miles north or four hundred miles south. The detour time will be enough for Sauron to prepare and send out his army." Tang Sen said: "Don't expect Sauron to be stupid enough not to learn from it.

Lesson, believe me, the next attack will be oppressive."

Sauron is not a villain in a vulgar novel. After a defeat, he will not only send out stronger opponents each time to serve as the protagonist's whetstone, until the protagonist defeats the younger ones and the older ones, and finally matures.

In front of yourself.

Tang Sen believes that for the sake of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, he will use all the power of Dol Guldur and even the Misty Mountains. If there is no obstruction from Gandalf and others, he will even appear in person and crush it with the power of thunder.

If Gandalf's news spreads quickly, those dark forces will have already begun to march towards the Lonely Mountain.

"Besides, we need to get to the Lonely Mountain before Durin's Day. Time is running out now."

Tang Sen no longer paid attention to Thorin's opinion. In fact, after experiencing this series of things, especially after Ilúvatar's gift was exposed, the control of this team has completely belonged to Tang Sen, even if

Thorin has no way to resist.

Sha Lin took the lead, and the group escaped into the dark jungle. The sunlight completely disappeared, and there was only the smell of rotting trees and an uneasy fog.

"The cursed forest!" Sharda muttered: "We have been cursed. I don't think the curse of this forest is more powerful than ours."

"Indeed not." Tang Sen said: "The curse of the forest cannot harm us, but it will make us get lost."

"I hate getting lost." Shalin carefully identified the marks on the elf trail: "Let's go faster, this place is too uncomfortable."

There is no day or night in the jungle. The team walked along the trail for an unknown amount of time. Everyone felt dizzy and confused. Even Tang Sen, looking at the things in front of him, felt nothing but long.

The curse of the Aztec gold coin has no function of protecting the soul, and Tang Sen's resistance and willpower are no stronger than those of the dwarves.

"We are lost."

Thorin angrily kicked the tree trunk next to him: "Damn Elf, this road is a trap! It will prevent us from ever getting out!"

"Don't move!" Tang Sen saw the white spider threads wrapped around the tree trunks in a trance, and the memory of the original ones suddenly jolted him and made him sober.

The horror in the Great Jungle is not only the lingering curse, but also the descendants of Ungoliant entrenched in it. These dark creatures exist in the form of giant spiders and will suck up all living creatures they see.

"Quick! Put on the mithril armor!" Tang Sen shook his head and shouted: "Form up a formation and prepare for the attack."

"Attack? Where is the attack?" Shalin staggered over and said, "Occasions? Even if I face a hundred Orcs, I don't want to wander around this ghost place anymore!"

The dwarves put on the mithril armor in a daze, not even thinking about the joy of putting on these treasures again. They could no longer form a tight formation as usual. In the ferocious jungle, they staggered around and scattered.

Sha.

Tang Sen directly hit Sha Lin on the head with his helmet, and took out the mithril hammer in the face of the other person's confused eyes: "Sha Lin, wake them up!"

"Otherwise, even if there is an immortal curse, we will be trapped in the spider web forever and will never be able to move again."

Shalin shook his head: "You are too weak!"

She punched herself in the face without hesitation.

"It doesn't hurt..."

"I forgot that because of the curse, I have lost the feeling of pain."

As he said this, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and threw a dwarf to the ground.

Everyone could vaguely see the furry, black, eight-legged monster spitting out white spider silk. In the blink of an eye, the dwarf was wrapped tightly.

Then the giant spider rose up from the ground, grabbed the dwarf and disappeared into the dense forest.

"Damn!"

The dwarves woke up a little in their fright.

"Dajiju!" Balin stammered and shouted: "Hurry! Save people quickly!"

Before the dwarves could take action, the surroundings suddenly shook.
Chapter completed!
