When the Hobbit woke up, it was already dawn.

A dwarf accidentally tripped by his small and inconspicuous body and rolled off the platform. It was the dwarf Pofer, who was grunting about it when Bilbo opened his eyes.

"Hey," the kind-hearted dwarf said: "Get up quickly, otherwise you will have no breakfast!"

The Hobbit, who was called up, sat up with a carp and sat up. "Breakfast!" he shouted, "Where is breakfast?"

"Breakfast? Haha, of course most of it was swallowed by me!" The other dwarfs who had enough food and drink responded with satisfaction in the hall: "If Mr. Bilbo Baggins wanted to have breakfast, he would be faster! We had always wanted to come over to Bion when the sun just rose, but we couldn't even see his shadow. However, as soon as we went out, we found that the breakfast was already set."

"Where is Gandalf?" Bilbo rushed out quickly, trying to find something to eat.

"He? He may be studying magical magic or witchcraft somewhere? You haven't gotten used to it for so many days? Wizards are always elusive, what's so strange about this!" The dwarf replied to him.

Unfortunately, the words of the dwarves were not so reliable. Because Bilbo did not see Gandalf's return until sunset.

When Gandalf entered the door, the dwarves and the hobbits were gathering together, focusing on their hearts and enjoying the end of the breakfast with joy, while Bien's kind animals were busy serving the dwarves. Since last night, there has been no news about the owner of the house, Bien, which has also made everyone quite puzzled.

"Where is the owner of this room (referring to Bien)? Gandalf, where have you been going in broad daylight?" the dwarf asked in unison.

"At least one question at a time, I will satisfy your strong curiosity when I finish eating! OK, but I haven't eaten anything since this morning and have been hungry for a day..."

After savoring the delicious meal, Gandalf pushed away the plates and cups in front of him with satisfaction. The gray-bearded wizard, who looked slightly thin, ate two whole baguettes of French baguettes (covered with cream, honey and cheese) in one breath, and drank at least half a bottle of honey wine - my goodness! Such a huge amount of food shocked Bilbo's eyes.

I can only say that Gandalf is worthy of being a tall man with a tall figure? Even if he can eat, he can eat like a dwarf who can eat!

It was not until the end of the meal that Gandalf, who was full of belly, took out his pipe and was ready to answer various questions from the dwarves.

"I'll answer the second question first-" Gandalf immediately attracted the attention of the room to him.

"I was tracking the footprints of bears before," he finally said: "Last night, there must be a bear party held regularly every year or monthly. When I arrived at the scene, I realized that there were quite a few bear companions in Biweng. There were cubs, adult bears, and several huge bears that were far beyond the ordinary adult body. They all gathered together to dance and party until dawn.

The bears came from all directions, with the only exception being the west of the other side of the river, which is the place of the mountain range. In that direction, there was only one footprint leaving, not coming. I followed the footprint all the way to Karlock. The footprint entered the river since then, but the water flowed there too fast and I couldn't cross the river.

You should still remember that it is not too difficult to pass from the ferry to Karlock, but on the other side are very steep rock walls and extremely turbulent flowing water. I have to walk several miles to find a place to cross the river, and then I have to walk back several miles to continue tracking my footprints. At that time, the sky must have been too late and I can't track it.

The footprints lead straight to the pine forest east of the Mist Mountains, where we fought with the wolf a few days ago. Now, I think I have answered your first question too." Gandalf sat back again, and the snow-white smoke rings spewed out as he inhaled.

Bilbo, who had just had a full meal and was not very clear-headed, thought he understood the wizard's meaning when he heard this.

"Does these bears want to cause trouble?" Bilbo shouted: "What if he leads all the wolves and orcs back? We will definitely be arrested and killed! I thought you said that Bion was not on the side of the orcs!"

"I do say that. Don't be stupid, Bilbo! Listen to me, you'd better go to bed quickly. From your words, you don't know what you said."

The Hobbit felt very discouraged, but he could not think of anything else he could do besides sleeping.

To be honest, since the thrilling escape journey of the past few days, the rare rest and rest are really happy, comfortable and instinctively boring!

When this strange idea appeared in the Hobbit's mind, even Bilbo himself was shocked. Unconsciously, how could his thoughts be as eager to take risks and excitement as his companions of the dwarf warriors around him?!

While the dwarf was still singing happily, he had already fallen asleep.

Even in his own sleep, the little Hobbit kept thinking about the mystery about Bion in his mind, and there were also funny scenes of hundreds of various bear creatures of all sizes dancing under the moonlight.

Then, while everyone else was still sleeping, he woke up again, and the sounds of scratching, sniffing and roaring came from outside the door.

The next morning, everyone was called out by the generous owner of the house, Biyon. "You are all still here!" He said, and he picked up the hobbit and said with a smile: "It seems that at least it has not been eaten by a wolf, a half-orc or an evil bear!"

The tall and strong man poked Mr. Baggins' belly very rudely and said, "You have become a little fatter! It seems that you have been resting well these days." After getting a helpless response from Bilbo, the owner of the house who satisfied his funny mind then smiled and said, "Come on, you're welcome, everyone eat more!"

Therefore, everyone had another breakfast with him. Biyon seemed to be in a very good mood. He told many interesting stories, which made everyone laugh with him. The group did not spend much time to understand why there was such a change in attitude, because he told the truth in person: he had crossed the river and ran into the mountain.

After hearing what Biweng said, everyone understood that at least he could run quickly when he was in the form of a bear. From the place where the burning wolf pack gathered, he quickly confirmed that everyone was telling the truth, but he also discovered more truths.

Bion caught a wandering orc and wolf in the forest, and got new news from everyone: the orc patrol team was still chasing these dwarves with the wolf. Due to the death of the orc leader, the burns of the wolf leader and the heavy casualties of his subordinates, everyone's anger was even more difficult to calm down.

When the brave and fearless but resourceful changer Biyon tortured these two guys, the two prisoners were only willing to say this, but he still thought that it was not that simple behind it.

Perhaps not long ago, or in the near future, the orc army will cooperate with the wolf pack with all members. They will cooperate in this way to hunt down dwarves, and on the other hand, they will retaliate against humans and the animals that live there, because everyone agreed that these evil dark enemies will definitely not give up on trouble for humans and all the woodland residents...

Killing, invading, plundering, these are the common evil nature of dark creatures.

"The story you told me before is really good!" Bien said: "But when I was sure your experience was real, I liked it more. Please forgive me for being wary of you at the beginning. If you lived on the edge of a dark forest for a long time, you will know that except for your true relatives and friends, no stranger face is worthy of trust.

Therefore, I can only come back with all my might, wanting to ensure your safety and provide as much help as possible. Of course, you are so powerful that no one would have thought that the orc leader would die at your hands. This is such a great thing to celebrate!!" He laughed happily.

"Hisser Bion, can I ask you how you deal with the two captives?" Bilbo asked suddenly.

"Do you want to know? Then come with me!" said Biheng, and everyone followed him out of the house, with a half-orc's head stuck outside the door, and the wolve's miserable white fur was nailed to the tree outside the door.

Compared to his warmth and kindness to his friends, Biyon can be regarded as merciless in dealing with the enemy, but since he has become an ally of everyone, Gandalf believes that he should tell him the complete story and the real reason for this adventure, so that he can get his complete help.

After listening to all Gandalf's stories and requests, Biyon finally agreed to help everyone in this way: he would give each member of the expedition a horse, and Gandalf could obtain a horse; these excellent horses who were proficient in human nature could carry everyone to the forest and help carry food and drinking water that could be eaten for a week.

When I arrive at the entrance of the forest, I must also ask you to send the horses back. I wish you a smooth journey. As long as you have the chance to come back, my door will be open for you at any time."

Bilbo followed everyone and bowed to Bion, and kept saying, "The great King of the Wooden Hall, praise your generosity!"

The following whole morning, Bilbo and his group were busy preparing for their departure, and soon everyone had their last lunch with Bion.

As soon as the meal was finished, all the members of the Gushan Expedition team climbed onto the mounts that Biheng had lent for everyone, said goodbye to the generous resident in the forest, and rode out the door with steady speed.

As soon as everyone left Bien's primitive but very effective wooden fence, they turned north without hesitation and headed towards the northwest. Under the advice of Bien, who was familiar with the terrain near the forest, everyone was not ready to go south to the main road to the forest. If everyone walked in that direction, they would finally have to cross the springs that surged down from the mountains and the rivers that flowed after the great river beside Carlok.

There, if everyone still has a pony, they might be able to get through it.

After crossing the river, the road will lead everyone to the edge of the forest and arrive at the exclusive entrance of the road near Laolin.

Compared to the warmth and warmth of the scene on the ground and the sunshine, Biyon warned everyone that the cunning and cruel orc army now often uses this road to rush through.

Moreover, as a well-informed person, this friend of the forest resident also heard that the road at the entrance to the dense forest itself has been covered by the forest in the east. If you follow the road, you will come to the dense woods that you cannot cross.

In this way, even if the dwarves barely walked to the other side of the forest, the exit from the east was still a long distance from the south of Gushan. Everyone had to go north to go through a very difficult journey to reach Gushan. As for the northern border of the dark forest, the area close to Karok was also very close to the river.

Although the Mist Mountains are also quite close to this place, Biyon suggests that everyone can take this road, because a few days of riding north from here will come to the entrance of a little-known road in the dark forest. The road through the forest can help everyone to cross several difficult dangers and come directly to the foot of the Gushan Mountain.

"As for the orcs," Bien warned everyone before: "I dare not cross the river near the north of Karak, nor dare to approach my residence--there is a very tight guard at night! But please listen to my advice, after departure, you need to advance as quickly as possible, because if the enemy troops find your traces, they will soon launch a general attack, and then you will see countless orc troops crossing the river from the south and surrounding you.

Moreover, near the terrain of the hills, the wolf is much faster than the ponies you ride. Although it seems to be a trap on the surface, in fact, the safer you will be when you go north; because it is also the least guarded place for the enemy. Even if you want to catch you, it will probably take a lot of effort to use the orcs' IQ. Okay, you can set out quickly!"

It is precisely because of this that the members of the expedition team will rush on their way silently. As long as the road is flat, everyone will gallop. The cold and gloomy black mountains are always on the left hand side of everyone, and time passes by as the silence of everyone.

When everyone set out, the sun moved to the west. Now the sun had already set to the west, sprinkling golden light. It was hard for everyone to imagine that there were half-orcs chasing behind them. After the crowd was far away from Bien's residence for dozens of miles, everyone began to chat and laugh and sing loudly, completely forgot that there was a dark road in the forest in front of them.
Chapter completed!
