In the dwarf's palace, Gao Yuan was still fighting the evil dragon.

At this time, both sides understand that there is no room for mediation between each other. Only by fighting to the death and deciding the final winner can this battle end.

Smaug's appearance at this time was really miserable. Gao Yuan had shaved off dozens of scales on his body, and few of the other dragon scales were intact. There were dense scratches on them, all of which were caused by the Blade of the Evening Star.

of credit.

Even one of the dragon's sharp claws was chopped off by him.

Gao Yuan looked much better. Apart from being a little disgraced by the evil dragon's breath, there were no external injuries on his body.

During the fight between the two, he was accidentally caught by Smaug's claw. As a result, Smaug had one of his claws chopped off by Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan's only loss was his mental energy, which had been consumed by two-thirds after the high-intensity battle.

Although after upgrading, the recovery speed of his mental energy value has been greatly improved, it is still somewhat dwarfed by such high-intensity squandering.

The physical exertion of both parties reached a certain limit. After the last wave of fighting, the two parties tacitly separated a distance and prepared to take a short rest before continuing the fight.

But this crumbling dwarf hall could hardly withstand their battle.

Just when they finished resting and both sides were preparing to attack again, another wave of aftershocks struck.

This time the shaking in the hall was even more severe. Even when Gao Yuan had just touched the string of the world, the shaking could not be compared to the current level.

Gao Yuan looked at the top of the crumbling hall, and saw that it had already been torn apart.

Above their heads, the bluestone ceiling originally made by the dwarves had all disappeared, and what was exposed in front of them was a huge mountain rock.

This rock is densely covered with large and small cracks, and they are constantly expanding and increasing with the vibration of the mountain. From time to time, fine gravel and dust fall from it.

However, Gao Yuan could not care so much at this time, because Smaug had already rushed towards him, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out again. Gao Yuan condensed two fireballs in his hands, and threw them on Smaug one after another.

One of the fireballs flew straight into the dragon's mouth, which was spitting out dragon flames. The huge explosion stopped the dragon's movement of spitting out dragon flames.

Then Smaug let out a shrill scream because of the pain.

The exploding fireball and Smaug's scream became the last straw that crushed this dwarf palace and the dragon's treasure house.

The huge mountain rock above their heads suddenly collapsed.

Whether it was Smaug rushing towards Gaoyuan or Gaoyuan suspended in mid-air, they were instantly buried by countless rocks falling from the sky.

The two guys who had been noisy all night in the lonely mountain finally calmed down after this moment.

After escaping the collapsed passage, Bilbo and the dwarves came to the secret door of the Lonely Mountain. Everyone gathered around the collapsed secret door of the Lonely Mountain, looking at each other in silence.

"Where shall we go now?" asked Bilbo.

Thorin glanced at Bilbo who was following him, and he suddenly thought of where to escape.

"The guard room to the west, there may be a way to escape there," Thorin said.

"That side is too far. We don't know if the road leading there has collapsed. The earthquake just now must have affected that side." Bahrain reminded.

"That's our only chance to escape. Other than that, I don't know where else to go."

"We can only give it a try." Thorin has already made a decision. Although the previous events have reduced his authority among the dwarves, no one can put forward a better opinion at this moment.

The dwarves followed the walkway under their feet and rushed towards the west of the underground city.

In the process, they encountered many collapsed bridges and passages blocked by stones. These were all masterpieces of Gao Yuan.

This caused the dwarves to walk a lot of wrongful paths. By the time they reached the end of the road and arrived at the door of the west guard room that Thorin mentioned, a long time had passed.

After entering the west guard room, what appeared before them was a miserable scene.

Countless of their dwarf compatriots died in this guard room clinging to each other, just because the door to the guard room leading to the outside world was buried by the collapsed mountain.

Of course, this was not caused by the earthquake caused by Gaoyuan. It seems that these corpses and ruins have been here for a long time.

"We have nowhere to go," Dvalin sighed.

Thorin didn't care about the door leading to the outside world, but looked at the corpses of the dwarves at his feet, and he couldn't help but choked up.

"These are the bodies of our compatriots..."

At this time, the lonely mountain that had been shaking all night suddenly stopped shaking, and the "noisy" dwarf dungeon returned to its former tranquility.

Bilbo was the first to notice that the mountain had stopped shaking.

"The shaking has stopped, what's going on?" Bilbo asked curiously.

Balin answered Bilbo's question: "Because the battle is over, perhaps the winner has been decided between our ranger and the dragon."

"Maybe they died together." Groyin said in a muffled voice.

Bilbo's eyes widened and he looked at Groin in disbelief: "Hey! How is that possible?"

He didn't believe that the powerful Gao Yuan could not defeat that evil dragon.

Even...he said that even if Gao Yuan couldn't defeat the evil dragon, he believed that Gao Yuan would definitely not die.

"Sorry!" Groin apologized to Bilbo.

Bilbo suddenly walked in front of everyone.

"I think we should go back and take a look now. Maybe Mr. Gao Yuan has killed the evil dragon by now." Everyone looked at Bilbo with strange eyes, which made Bilbo embarrassed.

"Anyway, we can't get out now, can we?"

"Bilbo is right, even if the evil dragon is not dead, we will have to face it sooner or later." Thorin stood by Bilbo's side very rarely.

"If the evil dragon is really not dead, we will lead it to the furnace."

"If everything is destined to burn, then we will go to the sea of ​​fire together." Thorin seemed to be stimulated by the fellow dwarves lying on the ground cuddling with each other in the guard room.

He finally made up his mind not to run away again.

"We will live to die!" Bilbo shouted excitedly.

Everyone focused their attention on him again.

The embarrassed Bilbo could only explain: "This is the word Mr. Gao Yuan told me."

Thorin smiled and patted Bilbo on the back.

"That's called risking one's life to survive, and that's what Mr. Gao Yuan taught me."

So, the expedition team started to return along the original road again.

They chose to bypass the previous passage leading to the hall, because that passage had collapsed at this time. They went around to the passage on the other side, and entered the dwarf's hall from there.

They burst into the hall with high expectations, but what appeared in front of them was the ruins left behind after the battle between Gao Yuan and the evil dragon.

In front of this devastated ruins, everyone fell into silence.
