Through a few lines of dialogue, even Bilbo, who thought he was very clever, was somewhat elusive of the true thoughts of the dragon in front of him.

To him, the giant dragon in front of him, which was sometimes unruly, sometimes grinning and talking wildly, was as cunning as the spider that trapped the dwarves before.

The Hobbit, who is not good at fighting, feels this very deeply. Compared to the dwarves who are good at fighting, he is the one in the expedition team who is not good at fighting. It is for this reason that he

He is able to distinguish certain psychological characteristics of various enemies encountered along the way.

Regarding this point, he believed that the evil dragon in front of him seemed to think so. As the legendary evil dragon that once pushed the dwarven mountain kingdom of Johnson and Johnson into despair with one dragon, Smaug, who has such a mighty record, has that proud

Capital, and its dragon's cruel mentality of teasing weak prey makes the already swollen and cunning dragon even more arrogant and arrogant.

Similarly, even Bilbo, who thought he was used to seeing many evil giant beasts, did not dare to let down his guard at all when talking to the giant dragon to delay each other.

He knew that the reason why the evil dragon kept talking to him was not only to play with its prey, but also to use the conversation to confirm the careful location of the invisible man wearing the magic ring.

Bilbo was convinced of this, because after wearing the Lord of the Rings, as the wearer of the ring, he could completely feel the strong malice of the evil dragon master from the direction of the dragon.

It was an undisguised and naked surging malice. Even the hobbits, who had been accustomed to seeing all kinds of things in Shel, were now close to losing control under the terrifying pressure of facing the dragon alone...

At this moment, when Bilbo was anxiously speculating on the specific evil intentions hidden behind the ferocious face of the dragon Smaug, he only saw that the dragon once again put on an expression that was secretly chuckling out of pride.

Perhaps Smaug took it for granted that it hid his snickering expression very well, but after all, it was an extremely huge dragon in Bilbo's eyes. On its ferocious and powerful dragon head, no matter how small it was,

With its huge size, its expression was invisible to Bilbo.

"I think that golden cup last night made you a lot of money, right?" The evil dragon Smaug opened his mouth and continued to murmur: "Tell me, right? Ha, it turns out there is nothing! Humph, these are them

style. I think they must be hiding safely outside, and you will do the dangerous work and steal things when I am not paying attention. This is all for them, right? You will tell

A big vote? Do you really believe it? You’re going to be laughing if you can save a dog’s life!”

Bilbo was beginning to feel very uneasy now. Whenever Smaug's eyes searched for shadows or swept over his body, he couldn't help but tremble all over. There was an unimaginable impulse that would overwhelm his reason and make him

He wanted to rush out and tell Smaug the truth. In fact, he was on the verge of being captured by the dragon's magic, but he still mustered up the courage to say loudly: "Oh, great Smaug, you don't know the truth. Gold alone is

, is not enough to buy us off."

"Ha! Ha! You admitted it was 'us'," Smaug laughed and said: "Mr. Lucky Number, why don't you just say 'we fourteen'? I'm glad to know that besides beating me for gold,

There are other tasks besides your idea, so maybe you won’t let all your time go to waste.”

"I don't know if you have ever thought about it. Even if you can spend more than a hundred years stealing my gold bit by bit, you can't run far! Hiding on the side of the mountain is of no use. Hiding in the forest

Can it be done inside? Hahaha! Have you never thought about it? I think it should be divided among fourteen people. That's probably what the contract says, right? What about the cost of transportation? What about the vehicle fee? What about the armed escort and fees?

?" Smaug laughed. He was very scheming and good at playing with people's hearts. He knew that his guess was accurate. However, he suspected that the people behind everything were the humans by the Long Lake, and they were ready to take everything down when the time came.

The treasure was transported to the lake settlement called Yinsijia in his youth.

You may find it hard to believe, but poor Bilbo was really overwhelmed by these questions. So far, all his energy had been focused on how to reach the Lonely Mountain and how to find the secret door; he had not spent any time thinking about how to get there.

How to transport the treasure away, not to mention how to transport the things distributed to him back to Bag End under the hill.

He began to wonder: had these dwarves forgotten this most important point, or had they planned it from the beginning? This is the influence the dragon's words have on inexperienced people. Bilbo is indeed

Should have been more careful, but Smaug's powers of persuasion were too strong to resist.

"I tell you," he tried to continue to believe in his friends and not let himself be discouraged: "The gold is just an extra gain for us. We traveled thousands of miles to come here for revenge. Oh, Smaug, who has incomparable wealth,

You must have realized that with your great achievements, you have created countless enemies, right?"

Smaug burst into real laughter, and the deafening sound made Bilbo fall to the ground. The dwarves in the distance hugged each other in fear, and began to imagine whether the hobbits had encountered misfortune.

"Revenge!" He snorted, and the red light in his eyes shrouded the entire hall in a blood-red light. "Revenge! The king under the mountain has been dead for so long, who of his descendants dares to take revenge? Lord Girion of River Valley Town has already

He is dead. I regard his people as snacks to satisfy my hunger. Which of his descendants dares to come near me? I will kill if I want and eat if I want. No one dares to stop me. I have killed thousands of people in ancient times.

Invincible warriors, today's warriors are nothing but weak mice compared to them. At that time, I was still young and my heart was still soft; now, I have countless years of wisdom and extremely powerful power. In the Shadow

A thief!" He boasted: "My scales are like ten overlapping steel shields, my fangs are like swords, and my claws are like spears and halberds. With a slight wave of my tail, mortals are like being struck by lightning. My wings

The slightest blow will send sand and rocks flying from heaven to earth, and my breath will be enough to bring death!"

"I've known it from before," Bilbo's voice trembled with fear: "The dragon's body is actually very soft, especially in that--uh--chest area. However, a great and invulnerable creature like you must be soft."

I have already thought of this."

The evil dragon suddenly stopped boasting. "Your information is already out of date," he said angrily, "My whole body is covered with steel-like scales and gems, and no blade can hurt me."

"I should have guessed it a long time ago," said Bilbo: "There is no rival in the world or on earth who can compare with the invincible King Smaug. That diamond jacket you are wearing is so beautiful!"

"Yes, this is indeed a rare treasure," Smaug felt quite proud. He didn't know that the Hobbit had seen his chest before, and this time he wanted to confirm it again for some reason. Evil

The dragon turned over. "Look!" he said, "What do you think?"

"It's so dazzling! It's so perfect! It has no flaws! It's jaw-dropping!" Bilbo said loudly, but what he was actually thinking was: "Old fool! There is a gap on its left chest, like

As fragile as a snail with a broken shell!"

After confirming all this, Mr. Baggins just wanted to run away quickly. "Well, I guess I can't disturb your rest anymore," he said, "or waste your time. Pony will definitely not

It's easy to catch, and the same goes for the snitch!" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ran back to the tunnel.

This last sentence really angered Smaug, and it immediately spit out high-heat flames and rushed to the entrance of the cave. Although Bilbo had already sprinted, his speed was still unable to completely get rid of Smaug. Smaug stuffed his big head into

Fortunately, its entire head and chin could not squeeze in completely, but its nostrils still sprayed out flames and hot steam to attack the enemy. Poor Bilbo ran desperately in the dark and almost died.

In the tunnel. He was quite satisfied with his response before, but his last words almost made him die.

"You idiot, never make fun of a live dragon!" he said to himself, which later became his mantra and a proverb. "Your adventure is not over yet," he said, and it was true.

That's right.

....

It was already evening when he staggered out of the cave and fell on the grass. The dwarves immediately woke him up and treated the burns on his body; the hair on the back of his head and feet were burnt.

It took him a long time to grow out. During this time, his friends tried their best to cheer him up. They were also anxious to get the story out of him, especially about why the dragon made such a loud noise and who Bilbo was.

How to escape.

However, the hobbit felt very worried and uneasy, and it was difficult for them to get anything out of him. After thinking about it carefully, he began to regret why he had revealed so many things to the dragon, so he was really reluctant.

The old story was brought up again. The black bird was still perched on the rock next to it, listening to all their conversations with its head tilted. Bilbo was in a really bad mood, and he even threw stones at the black bird, but the other party hid.

After leaving, it flew back.

"Damn bird!" said Bilbo angrily, "I think it's eavesdropping, and I don't like the way it looks."

"Leave it alone!" Thorin said. "This black bird is a very friendly and kind-hearted bird. This is also a very old black bird. It may be the last descendant of the long-lived magical birds that live here.

Those blackbirds were once domesticated by my grandfather and father. This one may be one of them, and it may have lived hundreds of years. The humans in Riverdale used to understand their language and use them

Come and send a message to the humans at Long Lake."

"Well, if this is its job, then it will have news to bring back to Lake Town," said Bilbo, "but then there probably won't be any living people left to hear the blackbird's call!

"

"What's going on?" the dwarf asked anxiously: "Hurry up!"

Bilbo told the dwarves all the parts he still remembered. He admitted that he had a bad feeling. He thought that the dragon had deduced too many clues from his riddles and the pony and the camp. "I think.

It must have guessed that we came from Changhu Town, and someone there helped us. I'm very worried that its next step will be to raid there. I really hope that there was no mention of barrel riders, here

Even a rabbit would guess it has something to do with humans."

"Okay, forget it! Forget the past, it's hard to talk to a dragon without spilling the beans," Balin anxiously tried to comfort him: "If you ask me, I think you did a very good job. At least you discovered

We learned a very important piece of information and came back alive. I’m afraid not many people who have talked to Smaug have this experience. At least, we know that there is a gap in this old dragon’s diamond vest.”

Everyone's topics also changed, and they all began to study the legends, dragon-slaying methods in historical records, as well as various thrust, piercing and horizontal slashing effects, techniques, devices and strategies that had been developed. Generally speaking

, everyone believes that it is not that simple to sneak attack the evil dragon while it is sleeping, and it may be more likely to be unexpected than launching an attack openly and openly.

....

Meanwhile, the black bird listened intently until the stars in the sky began to shine, and then it flapped its wings and flew away silently. They kept talking, and Bilbo became more and more worried.

The ominous premonition is getting deeper and deeper.

Finally, he interrupted everyone's conversation: "We are very unsafe here," he said: "It is best not to stay here. The evil dragon has scorched all the green space, and the temperature is relatively low at night.

, shouldn't be outside; I have a feeling this place will be attacked again. Smaug knows where I entered his cave, and he can guess where the exit will be, and if necessary, he will move this area.

It will blow them all up to stop us. It won't feel the slightest pity if we are buried in rubble."

"Mr. Baggins, you are so pessimistic!" Thorin said: "If it wanted to keep us out so much, why hasn't it sealed the exit over there? If it had done that, we would have

It’s time to hear the voice.”

"I don't know, I really don't know. Maybe it just wants to trick us out first, or it may wait until after tonight's hunting, or maybe it doesn't want to ruin the bedroom layout. I'm not sure, but I hope you

Don't argue with me anymore. Smaug could be here at any moment, and our only hope is to hide in the tunnels and lock the doors!"

He insisted very much, and in the end the dwarves did it. However, they thought they should not close the door so quickly because the risk was too great. No one knew whether the door could be opened from the inside. Moreover, they were trapped in

Being in a tunnel that only leads to the exit of the dragon's lair is really not a very reassuring situation. Apart from that, everything outside seems to be very peaceful. Therefore, they sat not far from the door and looked at half a dozen people.
