The adventure of the members of the Gaoyuan and Lonely Mountain Expedition in the Misty Mountains ended like this. They spent the most peaceful night in the Eagle's Nest since setting off from Rivendell.

You no longer have to worry about the entangled orcs behind you, or encounter any strange creatures and dangers. Although those big eagles are also strange creatures in the eyes of these dwarves and Bilbo, at least they are not

I want to skin them or tear them apart.

Gao Yuan briefly introduced the origin of the Great Eagle to the dwarves. These races born from the First Era are much kinder than the members of the expedition team imagined. They have always followed the instructions of Villamanwe and helped

Elves and humans fight against the evil demon kings.

The next day, the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the sleeping members of the expedition team, waking them up. The bonfire raised in the Eagle's Nest last night had just been extinguished, and wisps of green smoke rose from the bonfire.

This time, the expedition team was allowed to climb on the broad back of the eagle. They had been carried to the eagle's nest by the eagle before. Bilbo was frightened at the time and thought that these eagles would skin him like a rabbit.

Eat.

After saying their final farewell to the Eagle King, fifteen eagles jumped down from the edge of the cliff. Bilbo, who was lying on the back of the eagle, was so frightened that he screamed. He hurriedly grabbed the eagle under him.

This made the eagle a little unhappy and gave him a warning.

The sun had just risen from the horizon at this time. As long as the eagles faced the direction of the rising sun, they could lead them to Carl Rock.

After flying for a long time, the big eagles did not continue forward. They began to circle around each other in the sky, gradually lowering their altitude.

At this time, they were very close to the ground. They looked towards the valley below them. Below was a forest of oak and elm trees. The scenery here was completely different from that in the Misty Mountains.

A broad river runs through the valley from north to south. This river is the mother river of Middle-earth and the longest river on the continent, the Anduin River.

In the middle of the river, there stands a rock that looks like a hill. It looks like a boulder dropped from the top of the mountain by a rock giant.

"Is this the Rock of Carr?" Bilbo opened his eyes and shouted excitedly. He had had enough of the feeling of being in the air.

The big eagles landed on Carr Rock one after another, and after putting them down, they flew into the sky again.

In the end, only one big eagle was left standing in front of Gao Yuan and others.

"Farewell, strange combination of dwarves, hobbits and humans." The big eagle said solemnly, "No matter what dangers you encounter in the future, I hope you can return to your nest safely."

This is a unique way of saying goodbye to the big eagles. Gao Yuan knows how to say goodbye to them: "May the strong wind under your wings help you soar to the hometown of the sun and the end of the moon. They go back and forth, and one day they can stop.

Look at your beautiful feathers..."

There is a flat platform on the top of Karl Rock. Who knows who carved a stone step on the rock wall that leads directly to the river beach below. The river water around Karl Rock is shallow and clear, and the river beach is covered with pebbles.

Therefore, this is an important crossing through the Anduin River.

Crossing the banks of the Anduin River, the expedition team officially entered Rovanion (the Great Wasteland). Beyond that was Beorn, which is the territory of the skin-changer named Beorn in the movie. He is a half-orc.

It is a terrifying existence that one does not dare to provoke easily. Sometimes he is a huge black bear, sometimes he is a strong black-haired man. In the Battle of the Five Armies, he helped the coalition forces kill countless orcs.

Even in the original book, Azog's son, the orc leader at the time, was killed by the skin-changing Beorn, and it was he who rushed into the orc army and beat him to death directly.

The situation faced by Gao Yuan and others at this time is different from that in the movie. There are no orcs chasing them behind them. Even if they catch up, Gao Yuan will not be afraid of them.

And after they encountered that big eagle attack, it would probably take a long time for them to regroup the scattered orcs and goblins.

So there was no need for them to risk going to Beorn's residence. Although the skin-changer was not too hostile to the expedition in the original book and provided them with horses, food and necessary daily necessities in the movie, this

A skin-changer is not easy to talk to after turning into a giant bear.

The expedition team temporarily stopped to rest in the shallows on the banks of the Anduin River. The members of the expedition team had not taken a bath for a long time. The dwarves didn't think it was anything, but Bilbo and Gao Yuan, who always loved cleanliness, looked at it at this time.

When I reach the clear water of the Anduin River, I feel uncomfortable all over.

They took off their clothes and took a pleasant bath in the clear river water. Then they lay on the green grass and enjoyed the warm sunshine. When the clothes were dry, they began to move northeast along the grass.

, along the edge of oak and elm woods.

As the expedition marched, Bilbo and Gao Yuan talked about the next journey.

"Next, before we officially enter the green forest, we need to pass through a plain, which is the territory of the skin-changers."

"Although we may not meet him, I must warn you that if we meet him, we must not annoy him. Even when he turns into a human, he has a very bad temper."

""And he doesn't like dwarves very much." Having said this, Gao Yuan glanced at the dwarves in the team.

"You have to be very polite. If you make him angry, I can't imagine what will happen next."

"Skin-changer? What did he look like before he turned into a human?" Bilbo asked curiously. His curiosity also attracted the dwarves who were on their way, and they gathered around the two of them.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gao Yuan explained to them seriously.

"Skin-changer is the name of their race. I don't know about other skin-changers. I only know that he can transform into a huge black bear. It is definitely bigger than any black bear you have ever seen. Maybe it is only the size of a troll.

Comparable to him."

"Skinchangers, their race skins rabbits for a living? We may choose to bypass his territory, so that we won't provoke that violent guy." Bilbo continued to ask.

Gao Yuan shook his head seriously. If they could go around, how could he still lead the expedition through there? From the moment they landed on Carl Rock, they had actually entered his territory, but he rarely

came here.

"Damn Baggins, please stop playing tricks. I'm talking to you about something very serious. I solemnly warn all of you here again. As long as we haven't entered the green forest, don't mention any fur traders or skinning.

, fur coat and other fatal words.”

"He is a skin-changer. He just changes his skin. He can turn into a huge black bear, or into a tall black-haired human. He and his tribe settled here a long time ago.

It's earlier than the elves in the green forest. Once discovered by him, don't think about escaping from him."

Gao Yuan's scolding obviously frightened Bilbo. Ever since he met Gao Yuan, he had always looked amiable and rarely saw him really angry and serious. This made him consciously start to restrain his behavior.

character.

"So has anyone seen him?" Thorin asked at this time.

"I don't know, but this is definitely not groundless." After Gao Yuan finished speaking, he stopped answering their questions about the skin-changer.
