When Frodo woke up, he could still feel the coldness of the ring still coming from his palm. He raised his head again, and Frodo then met the eyes of several Hobbit companions full of worry and joy.

"You are not injured, are you? What was going on just now?!" He Hanhu asked.

When the three of them heard him speak, they were so happy that they forgot to answer Frodo's question for a moment.

After a while, Frodo learned from Sam what happened in the attack just now. From the perspective of Sam and others, in fact, they did not see the specific figure when the attack occurred. They could only see the shadows hidden in the shadows of the enemy. However, just as the enemy was about to rush over, Sam, who was closest to Frodo, heard him suddenly screaming in pain, and then Frodo disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone. At that time, the entire mutation was so fast that even Sam only asked you to rush into the direction where the enemy was. As soon as Frodo disappeared, the Shenxingke took everyone with weapons and rushed out. Then the Shenxingke was the first to discover Frodo who fainted on the grass outside and carried him back.

After that, Shen Xingke chased him out without saying anything. No one knew what he had done when he went out. However, strangely, Shen Xingke went out for a long time and has not come back from just now.

It seemed strange that Shen Xingke went out during this strange time period, and he didn't know his specific whereabouts. Obviously, several Hobbits were suspicious of him. Among them, Sam undoubtedly doubted the whereabouts and true intentions of Shen Xingke. After all, everything that just happened was a bit coincidental, and Shen Xingke, who had always been not taciturn, became chasing him without saying a word after the attack.

When Shen Xingke returned to the cave, Sam looked at him with a look of suspicion and alertness. Seeing the Hobbit people looking at him with curiosity and doubt, Shen Xingke shook his head gently and helplessly and explained:

"Sam, I'm not a Black Knight, nor a group with them." He said softly, "Relax, okay? I know you may doubt why I rushed out just now. I just wanted to track the whereabouts of the enemy. After all, no one can tell why they were about to leave suddenly when they were about to succeed, which made me feel extremely puzzled. However, the only good news at the moment is that I'm sure they decided to leave the cave and we can get a rare safe time."

After explaining all this, the Gods Walker regained the recognition of the Hobbit people. In fact, from beginning to end, Frodo never suspected the Gods Walker. After all, if the Gods Walker hadn't been there, he might have been abducted by the enemy in front of his companions.

After seeing the wound on Frodo, the God Walker gave an order to Sam, Merry and others: "Burn the fire and keep Frodo warm!"

After saying this trick that could help Frodo relieve some pain, the Shenxingke waved his hand and signaled him to talk to Sam.

"I think I understand what's going on," he said in a low voice. "That's not a good news. Perhaps our enemies, who only five people will be present tonight, are not the number of all of them. The reason why the enemy retreated temporarily may be because they firmly believe that the wounds on Frodo would affect Frodo's will and finally succumb to them. They feel that time is in their hands, and perhaps it is because they feel that they are sure to win that the enemy will retreat so quickly and neatly. However, I think the enemy will not give up. At most, we will only have a daytime rest and rush tonight and tomorrow. At the latest, the enemy will attack us again!"

Sam immediately looked at Frodo with concern, his eyes full of sadness.

"Don't give up hope!" said the God Walker. "The moment is not a good opportunity to shake will. It will give the enemy the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. You must believe me, and even more so. Frodo. In fact, Frodo is stronger than what Gandalf told me. The wounds left by the enemy did not have as much impact on him as expected. Perhaps he can withstand such wounds for a long time. I will do everything possible to help him and heal him. I am optimistic about him when I am away!"

After saying this, the God Walker hurriedly disappeared in the dark night and went to find some herbs for Frodo.

.....

After the Shenxingke left the cave, Frodo unconsciously took a nap because of the wound. Even in his sleep, he was still tortured by the wounds left by the enemy. The unbearable pain was expanding over time, causing a painful expression on his face.

His friends took care of him, trying to keep his body warm, and by the way, they hoped to use warm hot water to help him clean his wounds, hoping to relieve some of his pain. It was not until dawn that Shenxingke, who had been away for a long time, rushed back.

"Look!" He bent over and picked up a black cloak from the ground; no one could see it before because of the night. There was a crack about one foot on the edge of the cloak. "This is the trace left by Frodo's sword," he said. "This is almost the only trouble Frodo has caused to the enemy. The enemy was not injured because their bodies do not exist in this world."

"The most deadly thing for Frodo is this!" He bent down again and picked up a thin thin knife. In front of the Hobbits, the knife slowly melted like melting ice and snow in the hands of Shenxingke. In a few breaths, Shenxingke only had a bare hilt left in his hand. "The enemy used a cursed blade, which is really bad news. The wound left by this blade is extremely difficult to heal. I can only say that I will try my best to treat Frodo's wound, but whether it is healed depends on the specific fate."

He sat down, placed the handle of the knife on his knee, and began to sing a song to it in special language. Then, he took out a special herbal leaf from his close-fitting pocket.

"It's these leaves," he said, "I went out to the wild tonight for a long time, all to find the places for these herbs." He crushed the leaves with his fingers, and everyone smelled a sweet and rich aroma. "Fortunately, I found this plant. For me, he is one of the few magical herbs that grow in the wilderness and can promote healing. It has excellent medicinal effects, but there may not be much effect on this wound. But in any case, I only hope that this herb can play a little role in Frodo, even if it's only one-tenth of the conventional effect."

He threw the crushed leaves into boiling water and used them to rinse Frodo's wounds after a little cold. It has to be said that this was really a magical herb as the God Walker said. Just by smelling the fragrance it emitted, Sam and others felt refreshed and clear. This herb was indeed effective for wounds, because Frodo could feel the pain and chills began to fade; but his arms were still unconscious and could not wave them at will.

For the next place, everyone present had an extremely serious conversation. In the end, everyone almost unanimously decided that they and others needed to leave Fengyunding, a dangerous place as soon as possible. Especially with the wounded Frodo, staying in Fengyunding is a good chance of being surrounded by the enemy.

"I think," said the God Walker, "it was absolutely wrong that Gandalf would come back when we entered the cave beforehand. According to the enemy's gathering around, Gandalf must have been driven away a few days ago. It was even unsafe to say that we were here by ourselves. We need to leave, and the Storm is no longer safe for us!"

When it was clear, they used some breakfast casually, packed their luggage and embarked on a new road. They had to leave Fengyunding, a place that was extremely easy to attract attention and easily attacked by the enemy as soon as possible. Poor Frodo was unable to walk because of his injuries, so the luggage he had to carry had to give to the other Hobbit friends. As for himself, he got on the pony he bought in Buli Village because of the wounded.

It has to be said that after breaking away from the abuse and control of the former owner, the pony became much stronger. Even now it can carry a lot of supplies and bags with Frodo even though it is carrying Frodo, which can be regarded as a big help. After all, with the presence of the pony, they can finally be more relaxed. They do not need to share the share of the bags carried by Frodo and bear more weight. Even because the pony is more physically strong, they can briefly put the luggage they carry on to the pony when they are sore and back, so that they can rest for a while without luggage and light and light, and then carry the part of the bags when their physical strength is almost restored.

The group immediately walked south, which meant that they had to cross the avenue. But it was also the fastest path to the forest. They also needed extra fuel, because the Shweek said that Frodo must be kept warm at any time and anywhere, and that the flames could protect them. At the same time, Shweek was still ready to avoid the roads that were easily tracked by the enemy as much as possible, and instead chose paths that were not easy to attract attention.

The group carefully walked around the southwest slope of the hill, and soon arrived at the edge of the road. There was no trace of the Black Knight nearby. However, just as the Hobbits were quietly relieved and hiked across the road, they heard screaming sounds from the mountains and forests in the distance. Experienced Hobbits immediately heard that it must be the enemy's shouting to communicate signals with each other. Because the two screams in front and back seemed to use special sound techniques, the first sound was more like a call to gather, and the second sound was like a response to the first sound of gathering sound. In any case, everyone's morale became extremely low when they stepped on this desolate land. For a moment, no one took the initiative to break this silence.

Before the end of the first day, the pain of Frodo's wound began to increase slowly, but he endured it for a long time and was reluctant to say it. After another four days, they were still walking on this lifeless grass, with almost no changes in the surrounding scenery. This boring change could extremely easily destroy everyone's spirit and morale. Especially after Frodo was injured by the enemy a few days ago, even during the daytime journey, everyone should be careful to beware of the situation where the enemy might approach and prepare for all safety.

When the fifth day was about to end, the terrain slowly rose again, and led everyone to slowly leave the low valley he had entered. The Gods Walker now led everyone to the northeast again. On the sixth day, they finally reached the top of the hillside, and could see a wide forest and hill in front of them, and the avenue appeared in front of everyone again; on the right was a river reflecting gray light in the faint sunlight. Further away was another river passing through the valley in the mist.

"We probably have to go back to the avenue," said the God Walker. "We have now come to the Roar River, which the elves call Misesel. This is a relatively turbulent river. In the nearby river system, there seems to be no more wild and difficult to cross than it. Even skillful elves usually cannot cross it easily without the help of tools. There is no way to cross this river from below the Yindun wasteland, and only the final bridge that the tide passes through can cross this river."

"What's the name of the river that is farther away?" Merry asked.

"That's the noisy river, which originates from Rivendale," replied the Shenxingke. "We need to cross this river to reach the ferry where our destination is, but as I said, this river is too turbulent and not a small river that can be crossed at will. Until now, I haven't thought of how to cross the river! Forget it, there are too many problems, so I'll solve it one by one."

The next morning, they arrived at the edge of the avenue. Sam and the God Walker first came forward to inquire, but they did not see any traces of passengers or knights. Because it had rained several heavy rains in the past few days, the surrounding soil was washed away by the rain. Whether it was the main road or the small road, there were no traces of horse hooves or pedestrians, which made it difficult for everyone to track the task.

They rushed forward as quickly as possible, and after a mile or two, they saw the final bridge at the bottom of the steep slope. They were worried that they would see black figure standing on the bridge. After confirming that no one was on the bridge, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, for safety reasons, Shenxingke finally decided to let the Hobbits concentrate and guard themselves in the grass, and they went alone to explore the road near the bridge. After he confirmed the safety, he came back and asked Frodo and others to cross the bridge.
Chapter completed!
