Bilbo considered himself a very good stone thrower.

In fact, when it comes to how to throw stones far and accurately, his skill is truly unmatched...

Ever since he was a child, Bilbo had learned the skill of throwing stones from his older Hobbit peers.

After countless attempts and practice, Bilbo throwing stones was as easy as commanding a part of his body.

Hare that climbs up quickly on land, squirrels that move nimbly on branches, and even birds flying in the sky. These animals that are known for their dexterity cannot escape the prey of Bilbo's stones... Usually as long as Bilbo wants to,

None of the animals in the forest can escape the punishment of his stones.

Even after he grew up, Bilbo never gave up the joy of throwing.

Because it was embarrassing for an adult to still pick up stones and throw them around like a child. In order to maintain the dignity and honor of a decent human being, Bilbo had to resort to throwing darts and pots to replace his childhood hobby of throwing stones.

Perhaps due to his tireless love and training for throwing darts, pots and other activities over the years, Bilbo has never lost his excellent touch in throwing this series of sports, and he still maintains the super feel and skills of an expert as he did in his childhood.

.

At this moment, facing large spiders that were much larger than him, and having no other means of long-range attack except a dagger, Bilbo chose to return to his old ways without any hesitation - using stones that could be found everywhere instead.

Dangerous melee combat draws the attention of the spiders, creating an opportunity for the dwarves to delay more time to free themselves from their cocoons.

Adhering to the belief that he must save his dwarf companions, Bilbo resolutely bent down and picked up a few suitable stones from the ground that looked pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, the situation among the dwarves had reached a critical point. Bilbo could vaguely see a spider crawling along the spider web to the dwarf Bombur.

In front of the hungry and greedy spiders, maybe in the next second, the fat dwarf Bombur, who is the fat and juicy "food" in the eyes of these residents of the dark forest, will die tragically from the spider's venom.

Faced with this, the hobbits, who had already undergone some transformation, vowed not to let this catastrophic scene come true.

The moment the spider leaned forward to take action, Bilbo threw a stone. The flying stone hit the spider's head, causing the hateful-looking monster to slip from the spider web and fall to the ground with a thud.

, all the feet are curled up.

Seeing that he had succeeded with one blow, Bilbo immediately raised the second stone.

The second wave of attacks launched by the hobbits seemed to be very effective. The stones were mercilessly punching through the spider webs, tearing off the webs, and killing an unlucky spider standing in the center of the web.

The successive deaths of the two companions caused the spiders who witnessed this horrific scene to scream and become confused.

When the spiders became confused, they naturally had no time or experience to threaten the lives of the dwarves' captives. This was exactly what Bilbo was happy to see.

Since Bilbo's sight picked a good location that was convenient for throwing stones but not conducive to others' sight, the spiders who were annoyed by his throwing stones at this moment naturally couldn't find him.

The angry spiders took it for granted that they might have been attacked by some bad wizards, and now they could only search slowly like headless flies along the general direction of the stones thrown...

Needless to say, the speed of this blanket search, which can only be carried out by a large number of people, is extremely inefficient.

Taking advantage of the spiders' opportunity to search around, Bilbo slipped away in another direction before they found the correct location.

Witnessing the spiders' legs dancing around in a helpless and furious manner, Bilbo had an idea, and an excellent idea suddenly appeared in his mind: Maybe he should lure these helpless and furious spiders away from the dwarves! That way

, should buy the dwarves more time to escape!

He did as he was told, and the hobbit, who was very calculating, didn't waste much effort and found out how many spiders were around.

When about fifty spiders rushed to his previous position, he aimed at the opponent and threw a few stones, and even threw many stones at the other spiders that were hesitant.

As if he was not ruthless enough in attracting the enemy's attention so as to arouse the anger of the spiders, Bilbo, who was ready to risk his life to rescue his dwarf companions, suddenly started singing loudly.

Not only did he prepare to use his singing to anger his enemies, he also wanted to use his singing to announce his arrival to his fellow dwarves who were deeply trapped in a cocoon cage surrounded by spider silk.

Fearless Bilbo raised his voice and sang:

Spider, spider, you are building a web on the tree again!

You, you, you can't see me, you are stupid and fat!

Spider! Spider!

Stop now, look for me, stop spinning webs!

.....

I have to say, just from the lyrics alone, this song is terrible.

The shoddy lyrics can only be said to be worthy of Bilbo's poor ability to improvise lyrics.

But in any case, Bilbo's reaction to the current situation has exceeded his expectations.

Maybe it was the stones he threw, or maybe it was this bad song with strong provocative meaning that attracted the spiders' anger. Anyway, almost all the spiders near the nest came out to hunt him down.

Facing Bilbo, who was small and very agile, this seemingly huge army of spiders gathered from all directions and could only spin silk in vain at Bilbo in the dark.

As for the attacks that some spiders tried to bite with their terrifying big mouths, they were all dodged by Bilbo's dexterous movement.

Facing the encirclement network of enemies gathering from all directions, Bilbo quickly found a new hiding place.

However, at this time, several spiders had rushed to different places and began to weave webs in the open space. Soon, the hobbits were surrounded by thick spider webs - perhaps this was the enemy's attempt.

The intention of trapping him in this way.

Although the current situation was by no means wonderful, in order to buy Thorin and the other dwarves as much time as possible, Bilbo still mustered up the courage to hold himself up and began to sing another provocative song in front of an angry spider army.

Meaningful war song:

Look to the left, turn to the right,

You just can't find me!

Here I am, stupid spiders.

You can't catch me, don't even think about winning,

Make you miserable in the cobwebs.

....

After singing this provocative song as fast as he could, Bilbo discovered that the gap between the two big trees where he was hiding was completely sealed by the thick spider silk spewed by the spiders.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, the spider silk spewed out by the hasty spiders could not form a very dense and thick spider web. Facing the two trees, only the crystal clear but somewhat weak and slender spider silk could be seen.

Bilbo immediately pulled out a dagger hanging from his waist and swiped it twice. The slender spider silk was chopped clean in front of the sharp dagger, leaving only a pile of disgusting white in place.

Remains of spider silk.

In this darkness, Bilbo took out this luminous dagger, which was naturally very conspicuous.

Although they saw the sharpness of this dagger with their own eyes, the spiders, who were completely mad at the Hobbit singing, all flew towards the Hobbit angrily.

This group of dark monsters that kept holding them in their jaws were running rampant like crazy at this moment, all in order to catch the little man who behaved willfully in front of them.

The spider army chased Bilbo into the forest. Then, relying on the hobbit's silent steps and his own small stature, Bilbo quietly slipped back.

He knew that he only had a very short time before the spiders gave up the chase and returned to the tree where the dwarfs were hanging. During this gap, he had to rescue these guys.

The most troublesome part of the entire rescue operation was climbing up the low branches with many dwarf balls hanging on them.

In order to overcome the difficulty of climbing, Bilbo could only resist the nausea in his heart and climbed to the edge of the branch with the help of spider silk.

Next, the rescue work that needs to be completed by him is to loosen the shackles of the dwarves.

What should he do? If he cut off the spider silk, the poor dwarf would definitely fall to the ground with a crash. He climbed up the branch carefully. Finally, with great difficulty, he reached the position of the first ball.

"Fili or Kili..." Since the dwarf captives were all trapped in cocoons of spider silk, Bilbo could only guess from the blue tip of his hat protruding from the edge of the spider web.

Among the intricate cobwebs, the long nose sticking out made him make a judgment: "It's probably Fili!" It took a lot of effort for Bilbo to cut off the difficult-to-cut cobwebs. The dwarf inside also struggled hard.

Only then did he successfully break free from the cage entangled with spider silk and reveal most of his head.

Seeing the other party's embarrassment after breaking free, Bilbo burst into laughter. It was not his fault. The appearance of the dwarf Fili who had escaped was really terrible at the moment. He was covered in cobwebs and looked very similar.

Drunk chicken covered in butter!

After regaining his freedom, the dwarf Fili didn't waste much time and immediately began to assist the hobbits in rescuing other dwarf companions who were trapped in spider webs.

However, because he had been hanging on a branch all night, with only one nose exposed to breathe, and because there was still residual poison from the spider in his body, he felt a little dizzy.

Of course, looking at the average situation of the entire dwarf expedition, Fili's condition is already considered good. Many people's poisoning is much more serious than his dizzy and mild illness, and the most serious ones have even not passed the test.

Ability to walk more.

In this way, everyone rescued Qili, Bifur, Bofur, Dori and Nori.

Poor fat dwarf Bombur suffered all kinds of torture at the hands of spiders. Since he was the fattest among the dwarves, he was the one who was poked and stabbed most often. In the end, he was even stabbed by a cruel

The spider rolled down the branch with full malicious intent and fell hard to the stone ground.

Fortunately, he was lucky and landed on a pile of dead grass. However, when the spiders came back angrily, five dwarves were still trapped in the spider webs and had not yet regained their freedom.

Bilbo immediately rushed to the trunk closest to the branch and drove away the crawling spiders. When he rescued Fili, he took off the ring and later forgot to put it on.

The spiders could now see him clearly and began to hiss and say bitterly: "We can see you now, you bad guy! We will eat you and hang your bones on the trees. Wow!"

Look, he still has a thorn! Well, we will catch him anyway, and then we will hang his head to dry."

As the spiders advanced step by step, the other dwarves desperately used knives to cut the spider silk and rescue the remaining captives.

It won't take long for everyone to be free again, but no one is sure what will happen after that. Last night, the spiders caught everyone very easily, but it was in the dark and caught off guard.

The second time they meet, it looks like there will be a bloody battle.

Suddenly, Bilbo noticed that some spiders gathered around Bombur, and tied him up again, preparing to drag him away; he shouted and waved several swords at the spiders in front of him.
To be continued...
