"call..."

"Finally arrived..."

“So spectacular…”

"Is this the Lonely Mountain?"

"This is indeed a lonely mountain, but it's still a little short of it..."

"Let's go, I've already reached Gushan. Is there still a little distance left..."

Walking off the ferry, the expedition team looked up at the towering mountains ahead and sighed.

"It's already morning, and we're going to find the secret door to enter the mountain before sunset today."

"Let's go!"

Thorin Oak Shield spoke.

Everyone continued to move forward.

A huge and majestic mountain that costs thousands of meters.

The mountain road was full of snow.

The weather is getting colder.

Fortunately, everyone was wearing the exquisite and thick equipment given by the mayor of Changhu Town.

Otherwise, it would be the original clothes.

Everyone is about to suffer.

This is the first time that most members of the expedition team have come.

But it is no stranger to Thorin, Oak Shield, Whitebeard Bahrain and Devalin.

Bahrain leads the way.

Everyone followed the path up the foot of Gushan Mountain.

Time passes slowly.

It is almost noon.

The expedition team finally climbed from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the Gushan Mountain.

The higher you go, the colder the weather becomes.

The roads also began to become much flatter.

But at the foot of the mountain, you can still see a lot of weeds and thorns that can sway the soft body tenaciously in late autumn.

At this time, when we arrived in the middle, we could only see various strange rocks and gravel on the ground, as well as some black wood that had been weathered and had already died.

“It’s so quiet here…”

Bilbo looked at everything in front of him and suddenly stopped and spoke.

"Yes, I can't hear a bird's cry..."

"I can't see any living things..."

“There is something wrong with this mountain…”

“Is it because of snow?”

"Of course not..."

Hearing Bilbo's words, the other dwarves behind him also responded.

"It wasn't like this before."

At this time, the white-bearded dwarf Bahrain walked to Bilbo, put his hands on his waist and smiled.

"There are also there, there were all trees and forests before."

Bahrain said, pointing his hand to the distance and continued to Bilbo: "At that time, the forest was filled with all kinds of animals, and flocks of birds were flying on the branches..."

"But everything changed after the evil dragon Smaug came."

Bahrain sighed, his tone full of nostalgia.

"Look, what's there?"

At this time, Feli, who was standing in front, stood on a huge rock and pointed at the distance and shouted loudly to everyone behind him.

Hearing Fili's voice, the members of the expedition immediately rushed forward.

Morgan walked over likewise quickly.

Then I saw a huge valley ahead. In the valley far away in sight, an extremely huge city appeared in front of everyone.

City walls, bell towers, tall buildings, squares, and continuous building complexes.

The city in sight is much larger than Changhu Town that everyone has seen before.

Although many of the buildings in the city were collapsed and abandoned at this time, there was no trace of people.

“Where is there?”

Qili jumped onto the huge rock where Philip was, looking at the huge abandoned city in the distance and asked.

“It’s the River Valley Town, the former River Valley Town…”

"It's a pity that there are only ruins left now."

Bahrain walked forward and said with emotion: "It was only after the evil dragon Smaug was raging that it became what we see now."

Bahrain shook his head and said.

Morgan looked at the majestic ruins of the city in his sight and thought that everyone was not far from the lonely mountain.

River Valley Town is very close to Gushan.

Since you can see the River Valley Town here, it is naturally not far from the Kingdom at the foot of the mountain.

"Let's go, we must find the secret door before sunset."

"Go here and come with me!"

Thorin Oak Shield withdrew his gaze, said something to everyone, then quickly turned around and walked downwards.

Yes, it's now a downhill road.

It’s much easier to walk down the mountain.

The autumn sun in the sky gradually sets westward.

Noon passed quickly, approaching afternoon.

The expedition team passed through the ruins of River Valley Town and arrived at the location of the Secret Gate of Gushan identified on the map.

This is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

As soon as everyone arrived, they were immediately ordered by Thorin Oak Shield to scatter and search.

Morgan recalled the scene in the memory plot, looked up and looked forward to the tall mountains around him, but he could not find anything.

“Have you found it?”

At this time, the sound of Thorin Oak Shield came from the valley ahead.

"No, nothing!"

Grumpy Gothvalin was the first to respond loudly.

"No, I didn't see it here..."

"I didn't find it..."

The voices of the dwarves came one after another.

Thorin Oak Shield frowned, and had to open the map in his hand again and look carefully.

Morgan walked deeper ahead on the gravel mountain road under his feet.

"Here!"

"You guys look at this!"

At this moment, Bilbo's shout suddenly came from another direction.

Morgan was surprised, and the plot in his mind was the secret door that Bilbo first discovered.

Is it still him now?

He turned his head and found that the mountain on Bilbo looked almost the same as the surrounding mountain from here, and he seemed to be unable to see anything abnormal.

But since the other party shouted out, he must have noticed it.

Morgan walked in Bilbo like the other dwarves.

Just cared about the fact that Morgan, who could not seem strange, walked quickly to Bill Bo.
