Chapter 52 Escape from Orc Town
Speaking of which, Gao Yuan and others were fleeing for their lives in the mountains of the Misty Mountains.
This orc town, which had existed for more than two epochs, was almost completely destroyed.
This earthquake caused by Gaoyuan affected more than half of the Misty Mountains. Even Rivendell felt the strong earthquake, almost turning the place into ruins.
The members of the expedition team all fled to a huge wooden bridge.
Rather than escaping here, it is better to say that they are trapped here, because the road in front of them has been buried by countless rubbles.
The cave behind them was also constantly collapsing. Except for the dark abyss under their feet, it could be said that they had nowhere to go.
"We have no place to escape." Kili was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"The goblins in the back are finished, they will all be buried here." Dwalin sneered.
When Balin saw the goblins buried behind him in the collapsed cave, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
"I think what we should be worried about most at this moment is ourselves. It won't be long before we will be like those goblins."
Among the dwarves, Balin is undoubtedly the most rational dwarf among them. He can always find the core of the problem and find a solution.
Thorin Oakenshield is far behind compared to them. The stubbornness and arrogance of their family are sometimes their strengths, but also their weaknesses. The most important thing is that it is difficult for them to analyze things rationally.
The pros and cons and priorities of things.
"There must be other ways out here, but we haven't found them yet."
The dwarves looked around, but fell into despair again. Look around, is there any other way out here?
Gao Yuan ignored the dwarves who were howling like ghosts.
Now he has some regrets. He should not have tried to pluck the string of the world that connects all things at that time. If he had led a group of dwarves and fought to the death, there might have been a glimmer of hope...
Gao Yuan found that he was starting to think wildly. He shook his head and tried to calm down.
He suddenly found that there was a sudden silence around him, and the noisy dwarves stopped shouting, and they all turned their attention to Gao Yuan.
Hey, why are you all looking at me?
"Gao Yuan must have a way, right?" Noli looked at Gao Yuan expectantly.
Gao Yuan shook his head helplessly.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do about Gao Yuan, the dwarf who had finally raised some hope fell into despair again.
What could he do? The tunnel in front of them was buried by falling gravel.
The cave at the back collapsed even more severely, and even the plank road and suspension bridge were destroyed. Just look at the goblins running for their lives like headless flies.
Gao Yuan raised his head and looked at the top of the cave. There were several huge cracks there, and then looked at his feet.
Wait, feet?
He remembered how in the movie, Gandalf and others left the orc town, and the wooden bridge beneath their feet collapsed under the weight of the Goblin King's body.
The dwarves and Gandalf, lying on the wooden bridge, fell into the abyss under the bridge together. They happened to find a way out of the Orc Town, which was also the back door of the Orc Town, an emergency exit.
But there are many handles of Goblin guards there, but will the members of their Lonely Mountain Expedition be afraid of those short Goblins?
Gao Yuan alone can defeat them all.
"I have a solution!" Gao Yuan's words made everyone present shine.
They looked at Gaoyuan again.
"What can be done?" Thorin asked hurriedly.
Gao Yuan did not answer Thorin's question directly, but looked towards the abyss at their feet.
Everyone crowded around Gao Yuan, and they looked down in confusion. Except for a few torches, there were only dark holes below, and there was nothing there.
Among all the dwarves present, only Thorin understood what Gao Yuan meant. He turned his head and looked at Gao Yuan in shock.
"You don't want us to jump, do you?" Thorin asked.
"What? If we jump down, we will fall into pieces."
"This is a terrible idea, man."
"Are you serious?"
After hearing Thorin's guess, the dwarves began to quarrel again.
"Quiet!" Thorin shouted, "Let Gao Yuan continue."
"Jump? Of course not, we are going to slide down and ride this huge skateboard under our feet." Gao Yuan pointed to the bridge beneath him.
"Everyone, find a place to hold on." Gao Yuan shouted.
At this time, the underground cave where the Orc Town was located began to tremble violently again. The cave above Gao Yuan and others opened a larger crack, and countless gravel fell down.
It almost hit Fili, who was standing on the edge of the wooden bridge. The piece of rubble broke the joint on one side of the bridge, causing the entire bridge to tilt.
"I caught you!"
Feili almost lost his balance and fell, but fortunately he was caught by the dwarves beside him. Gao Yuan used his telekinesis to throw up the two dwarves hanging in the air.
This is the aftershock of the earthquake caused by Gaoyuan. The complete Misty Mountains are a giant dragon that runs through the entire Middle-earth continent. After the huge earthquake, there will definitely be countless aftershocks.
In other words, they don't have much time, and these caves will be even more dangerous next.
After confirming that all the dwarves were secure, Gao Yuan stood on the wooden bridge and used his telekinesis to break the support structure connecting the two walls of the bridge.
"Click..."
This sound made the dwarves on the bridge tremble, and the lower part of the bridge began to break because it could not bear the huge weight.
The bridge immediately began to fall, and the two ends of the bridge deck continued to rub against the narrow cracks.
Gao Yuan used his mind power to constantly adjust the balance of the bridge so that the bridge would not overturn due to loss of balance. He also had to keep an eye on the dwarves to prevent them from flying out.
Whenever a dwarf feels that he cannot hold on to the board and is about to fly out, there will always be an invisible big hand that pushes him back onto the bridge.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Yuan is about to collapse. He has to be a nanny for these dwarves while ensuring his own safety.
If he was alone, he could just fly down. He would be like now, half dead from exhaustion.
How did Gandalf do it in the movie? Moreover, lying on this broken wooden bridge and falling into the abyss while the people on it were fine, this kind of thing is too unscientific.
Gao Yuan looked at the energy bar indicating his remaining mental energy on the system panel. It was declining rapidly and was about to bottom out.
"Ahhhh..."
"We are going to die..."
"Mother...."
The bridge is still falling rapidly, and most of the bridge structure has been lost in the process of falling.
But there was still darkness under their feet, and Gao Yuan didn't know how long it would take before they "landed".
Fortunately, the gap below is getting smaller and smaller, and the bridge will slow down every time it falls.
His spiritual energy had been exhausted. Gao Yuan left a trace of energy to save his own life, and then gave up control of the bridge.
"boom"
A crisp sound was heard, and the wooden bridge had shrunk by two-thirds when it landed.
After landing, it turned into countless pieces of wood. The dwarves smashed it hard on the ground, and Gao Yuan flew away the moment it landed.
He didn't want to be pinned under the plank like the dwarves.
"Ouch..."
"It hurts me so much. Pangbo, you are so heavy that I can't breathe."
"We're not dead, Oye!"
Gao Yuan landed firmly on the ground. His telekinesis power had been almost exhausted, but fortunately it was not overdrawn, otherwise he would have another headache.
"Look at that!"
Bofur, who was suddenly pushed to the bottom, shouted.
Gao Yuan turned his head and looked behind him, only to see countless firelights flickering on a hillside in the distance.
There were thousands of goblins, and they were rushing towards them like a tide.
With the hatred of the dwarves for killing their king, and the anger of their home being destroyed.
But this seems to be all done by Gao Yuan...
"Get up quickly, we have to get out of here quickly." Thorin quickly climbed out of the ruins of the bridge.
"They are also fleeing here. The Orc Town is now completely destroyed." Balin climbed out of the ruins and looked at the cave that was still collapsing and the surging goblins.
Thorin glanced at Balin meaningfully: "We are different from them, you should not pity them."
"We have to get out of the mountains. The sunlight will make these goblins afraid." Gao Yuan saw that these dwarves were still staining their faces and couldn't help but urge.
