Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1100 1082. Smaug

 After waking up, Smaug’s dragon head lifted up from the golden mountain, followed by his body and tail.

There is no doubt about the weight of gold. Although the gold that slipped off Smaug's body was only a shallow layer, it weighed at least dozens of tons!

 This huge evil dragon is as weightless as if it shakes the sand off its body after getting up.

Smaug woke up from the golden mountain, casting a thicker and darker shadow in the treasure hall, which was already not very bright.

 This is a dragon with a typical image of an evil dragon.

It is a deep reddish brown overall, with hard skin and scales criss-crossing its body, and the rugged thorns on its head form sharp horns extending backwards.

It is a skeleton with two wings and claws and two feet, which is different from the conventional two-winged and four-legged skeleton of ancient dragons in the New World.

But the velvet ball hanging on the giant pillar did not dare to look down on Smaug at all. Not only because of the size of this super-large ancient dragon, but also because after Smaug woke up, he looked around with an extremely humane look. .

Originally, with a body length of at least 130 meters, this size is still a big guy even in front of the Laoshan Dragon from the Ancient Dragon Crossing!

The Molten Mountain Dragon's body length when lying down is only over two hundred and fifty meters! The standing height of both feet is only eighty meters!

 The body length of an ordinary ancient dragon is about 25 meters, which is enough to reach the sky!

 What shocked the kitten even more was that after waking up, Smaug sniffed slightly, and then he spoke!

 “Okay, intruder, thief.”

The dragon's huge lips moved slightly, and he spoke in a low voice with a helpless and slightly joking voice.

That sound made both Bilbo and Fluffy Ball feel a chill in their hearts.

At the same time, Smaug's snake-like neck and tail were dancing, reaching towards the pillar where Bilbo was.

Flannel Ball’s claws stretched out from his palm nervously.

But Bilbo did have his own 'little trick'. When the flannel ball saw the huge dragon and retracted its head from behind the pillar where Bilbo was, he didn't see blood on the corners of its mouth or a dwarf in its mouth.

 Inexplicably, the hobbits disappeared.

The evil dragon is well-informed. It has used its nose to determine that an outsider is in its treasure hall and is very close to itself.

It didn't seem anxious, and could even be called interested.

The dragon's broad wing claws were folded and tucked away at its side, while its flexible and slender tail danced.

Together with its long snake-like neck, it dances in mid-air.

There is at least a distance of more than twenty meters between the two giant pillars in the hall, but the dragon's head always lingers at the place where Bilbo disappeared.

 But its slender body and swinging tail can span several pillars.

“Interesting, you let me not see you. But you don’t really think that’s enough? Your smell, your breath. Tsk, it’s obvious, it’s so obvious.”

The evil dragon said jokingly, and the low and malicious voice made everyone who heard it feel uneasy, and the smell of the dragon in the nose was even more unbearable.

 Only Bilbo, who disappeared, knew that this evil dragon really wasn't lying!

Bilbo's hand now wore a simple gold ring, made of pure gold, without any decoration or lines at all.

 After putting on the ring, everything in the world seemed to be covered with a dark and blurry filter in his vision.

 An inexplicable and never-ending wind is blowing something away from all living forms.

Smaug's body is the same, but only the dragon's eyes still emit a deep, dark golden light under this field of view.

Smaug's slender neck circled the giant pillar where Bilbo was, and his eyes were fixed on the position of the thief who he couldn't see but could smell and hear.

 “Don’t be shy, you are really a little bit different.”

Smaug cannot see Bilbo, but it is only 'invisible'. He plays with and explores the mind and strangeness of this intruder.

“A treasure that allows you to hide from me, Smaug?”

The eyeball, which was the size of a hobbit, narrowed slightly, showing thought and testing, while the wings of his nose twitched.

"A treasure made of gold! A treasure made of gold, but more precious! Right? A treasure of gold!"

The whisper of the evil dragon seems to carry some kind of obscure and evil power unconsciously. This sound echoes endlessly under the dim golden reflection of the treasure hall, in the huge dark building, and in the spread of the dragon's smell.

The flannel ball, which had not yet been noticed by Smaug, shrank its furry body into the carved groove on the upper part of the giant pillar. Smaug's voice made it feel dizzy.

However, the brave and strong Eluma bit her lip with two small tiger teeth and stuck her head out with difficulty, trying to confirm the condition of her friend.

 Compared to the velvet ball, Bilbo who wore the gold ring seemed to be more affected by the dragon's words.

He suddenly pulled off the ring and suddenly appeared under Smaug's eyeballs. In the process, he silently put the taken off ring into his pocket.

 When he suddenly appeared, his entire inner clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Hair was stuck to his forehead due to sweat, and he was still breathing heavily.

It was as if the disappearance just now consumed a lot of his physical strength and energy.

Seeing this, Lin Buqiu’s whole body arched up while leaning on the pillar.

At the same time, a dangerous growl came out of his mouth.

But then, Fluffy Ball saw Bilbo raising his hands, showing a harmless and weak gesture to Smaug.

At the same time, as if he was unsteady on his feet, he staggered a few steps on the Jinshan Mountain, and just in time his body fell out of the shadow of the huge pillar, completely exposed to the line of sight of the flannel ball.

And the hobbit also pointed his back directly in the direction of the flannel ball, and when he lifted it, he seemed to be swinging it unintentionally in panic.

 But in the sight of Fluffy Ball, this action is a clear signal - hold on tight, don't be in a hurry. “Ho ho, here you are, the thief in the shadows.”

Smaug tilted his long head to one side, approached Bilbo with one eye, and laughed softly, with playful malice.

 And taking advantage of the evil dragon's narrowed vision, the flannel ball quickly and silently began to move its position.

 “Oh, oh! Great Smaug! I, I am not, I am not trying to steal your treasure!”

Bilbo himself didn't know whether he was panicked or calm at the moment.

Half of his brain, very calmly, made arrangements for sending signals to the flannel ball, adjusting his position, etc. after exiting the invisibility state.

 But the other half of the brain, under the evil dragon's gaze, almost choked even the act of swallowing to relieve tension.

“I just want to admire your greatness! Oh! Great and rich Smaug! I want to see if you are as great as the legend says.”

 At the end of the sentence, Bilbo's tone became uncontrollably crying.

 “I, ugh~ I didn’t really, really believe it in the past!”

"what about now?"

Smaug seemed to begin to enjoy the fear and flattery of the tiny creature in front of him. Its huge body turned around, setting off a wave of dark golden light on the Golden Mountain, and finally its powerful body was fully displayed in front of Bilbo.

Its two wing claws are supported on a stone base exposed in Jinshan, and its hind legs are squatting. The wing membranes of the wing claws slightly unfolded at the side of the body under this movement, like two ferocious blades.

 But even this not-so-arrogant, stretched posture completely occupied Bilbo's entire field of vision.

　　It made the hobbit feel so cold that his hands and feet became stiff.

"Now, now, I just feel that you are really above all disasters! The great Smaug!"

Bilbo's teeth were chattering, but fortunately he could still compliment the dragon as he sang.

Smaug did enjoy the hobbit's compliments. He nodded slightly and even seemed a little satisfied and able to communicate.

 “You are quite polite, little man.”

But then, the corners of Smaug's mouth twitched, revealing many teeth like swords inside.

 In fact, no one can deceive the evil dragon with a few nice words!

 “But you are not only a thief! You are also a liar!”

Just the sound of Smaug's roar caused the pile of fine gold coins piled in front of him to be blown up all over the sky!

Bilbo's smiling face that had just appeared for five seconds suddenly tightened in fear, and his whole body was rushed down the Golden Mountain by Smaug's roar!

 “Ahhhh!!”

The hobbit screamed, trying to steady himself on the golden hill.

Smaug, on the other hand, seemed to be swimming in the golden mountains, with his huge winding body creating huge waves in the golden mountains.

 It is not in a hurry to kill this little guy who speaks something interesting.

So what was originally a single swoop to catch up was now followed by a strenuous and slow snake walk.

"You have the smell of dwarves on you. They asked you to steal things, right? Do you think I can't smell it? Can't you tell the difference?"

"I am familiar with the smell and taste of dwarves. There is no one in the world who is more familiar with me! Do you still want to deceive me about this?"

"No!"

Bilbo reluctantly responded while rolling on the hard pile of gold coins.

 “No one asked me to come! I was really out of curiosity!”

While tumbling, in the waves of countless gold that Smaug stirred up, a gemstone that was clearly only the size of the palm of a hand and could not be ranked in the entire treasure hall was also washed up into the air.

And whether it is Bilbo who is still rolling, or the flannel ball who has moved his position and is waiting for an opportunity.

They had lost their ability to judge the value of gems due to this treasure house, but they all immediately noticed the gem at the same time.

It seems that even among the shining piles of gold, even among the gems as big as human faces everywhere, as soon as it appears, all attention is destined to focus here.

The gem is not so much white as it is transparent, and among the transparent gems, there are mist and mist of mist shining, as if the Milky Way is hidden.

It is indeed just like Bahrain’s instructions: as long as one sees the Arken Stone, no one will have any doubts.

 The value of this gemstone is unique!

 “Poof!”

As his body hit the pile of gold coins, he involuntarily let out a breath, but Bilbo's eyes were still uncontrollably focused on the Arken Stone.

 When Smaug's body, which smelled of dragon smell and felt hot, approached him, he shook his head suddenly and came back to his senses.

“Oh, so that’s what you’re here for? The Arken Gem?”

With a ‘bang’ sound, the evil dragon’s wing claws pressed on the ground not far from the gem.

 “Then I understand, thief.”

Smaug's tone was filled with anger beneath the jest and cruelty.

 “You are in the employ of Thorin Oakenshield!”
