Chapter 1099 1081. Super large
“Crash, crash, crash, crash~”
The crisp sound of metal collision resounded in this sea of gold and silver.
And because the treasure hall excavated by the dwarves from the mountain is really broad and grand, the sound of these metal collisions began to become distorted and ethereal after being transmitted to far away places.
Becomes an echo flowing like a clear spring.
The entire hall was filled with gold. Most of the gold was polygonal dwarf gold coins, and a small number were gold and silver vessels. There were also a large number of sparkling gems and precious jewelry mixed in among them.
These things are piled up in the treasure hall, literally forming a ‘mountain’.
The treasure hall is large, but the ground is flat. There are just some huge stone bases used to stabilize the entire large cavity structurally.
But these golds were piled up in this hall to create a level difference.
The highest place where the gold is accumulated is at least thirty or forty meters, almost half the height of the ceiling!
In the least places, there are only a few gold coins scattered here and there, and even the flat stone ground can be exposed.
These gold coins, gold and silver vessels are piled up, and of course there are countless tiny gaps in the middle.
The hobbit just stepped on it, and after stepping firmly, there was a sound of gold coins colliding with each other.
Then he raised his foot again, and the gold coin pressed by the sole of his foot suddenly released and fell, making the sound of gold coins sliding down the slope.
This is not the sound of dozens of gold coins falling. It is like a sand sculpture on the beach. Once it collapses, a large area is implicated.
It cannot stop until the structure of the accumulated gold coins stabilizes again.
“Be careful, meow!”
Flannel Ball had already taken off all the kitty armor on his body at this time, only carrying two swords on his back. It walked in front on this golden mountain and silver sea, light and silent, turning its head and whispering anxiously to Bilbo who was following.
“Didn’t you say you are very capable, meow?”
“I mean I can make people invisible to me!”
Bilbo was also frightened, shouting frantically at the flannel ball in a low voice that was close to exhaling.
It sounds like breathing, which is a bit funny.
“But I can’t help but step on these gold coins, right?! By the way, how do you walk on them without making any sound?”
Pollen Ball pressed one of its paws on its furry forehead and sighed silently. Take a breath.
"Bilbo, if I hadn't come last night, how on earth were you going to die, meow?"
The flannel ball made no movement when it stepped on the mountain of gold coins. This was partly because the cat was small and light in weight, and it had taken off its armor before.
On the other hand, when Lan En was teaching Velvet Ball [Reed Master] and [Light Body Technique], the thief cat from the Valley Predator clan also showed a strong interest in other ninja techniques. .
After all, among the Detel (Lynx), a tribe of valley plunderers in the New World, there is also the name ‘Ninja Cat’.
Ninja is a concept brought over from the Old World by the New World Survey Team decades ago. After the valley plunderers learned about it, they found it very appealing, so they used it.
So after learning about the existence of 'real ninja' technology, Flanball, who was born as a thief cat in the Miasma Valley, it would be strange not to be curious.
Then Lan En basically taught Velvet Ball all the contents of the "Lone Shadow Ninja Technique Book".
Among the techniques for covert action, the technique of moving silently in various terrains is also a required course.
This technique was also taught to Phoebe in the ancient Greek world. Lan En asked her to run on various roofs such as tiles and pergolas without being noticed.
There is no doubt that the flannel ball has a racial advantage in this regard, so even if it is walking on a mountain of stacked gold coins, it does not cause much movement.
But for Bilbo, there was really nothing he could do.
The fleshy pads of a hobbit's feet would make little movement on most surfaces.
But on this mountain of gold coins, the effect of the meat pad is really better than nothing.
Motion and noise are caused by the collision of gold coins.
"I think we'd better look for it quickly."
Bilbo himself knew there was nothing to do, so he whispered in a broken voice.
After the hobbits descended the steps and formally walked onto the mountains and seas of gold and silver, they walked carefully and slowly.
The flannel ball landed on all fours and ran to rummage in the distance first.
The wealth of the dwarves in Gushan is really too big.
Bilbo randomly picked up a golden cup from the Golden Mountain. The big gem inside was almost as big as his face.
Pile together with this big gem in the gold cup are exquisitely crafted diamond necklaces and too many small gems the size of peanuts to be grasped.
The situation is similar on the flannel ball side.
There are too many treasures in this treasure hall, but within five minutes, Bilbo and Velvet Ball felt like they were numb. Both of their judgments about the value of precious metals were collapsing, and their common sense about the size and rarity of gemstones was in disarray.
At first they were amazed when they saw a gem as big as a washbasin, but soon, after such gems appeared frequently, they both even felt that their minds were confused, and they couldn't help but wonder. It's impossible to tell whether this is big or small.
The various inner standards of living things come from the common sense and insights accumulated in the previous life.
But after only a few minutes of activity on this golden mountain, the two of them felt that their standards for judging gems and gold were rapidly crumbling.
What exactly is valuable? What is worthless?
The psychological confusion brings irritability, not to mention that the smell of the dragon in this place is stronger, making people physically uncomfortable.
So unknowingly, Bilbo's steps began to become less careful.
He stepped on the pile of loose gold coins, making a clattering sound, and began to try to pull out the gold cups and bowls buried under the pile of gold coins.
However, when Bilbo took a step, he accidentally kicked a small gold statue sideways.
"Crash~~~"
At first, it was just the small statue of gold. Next to the base, a small pile of gold coins began to slide downwards.
But like the chain reaction of an avalanche, a small pile of gold coins slipped below, completely destroying the support stability of the large gold coins above.
Above the Golden Mountain, thousands of thick dwarf gold coins began to flow downward.
Together with the gold and silver vessels buried in the gold coins, the collision of these hollow metals made an even louder sound.
In this silent treasure hall, the biggest wave of silence so far also sounded.
The collapse of a large pile of gold coins made Bilbo and Fluffy Ball, who had begun to get irritated and unknowingly given up their caution, suddenly become nervous again.
The hobbit and the Ellecat, who were more than twenty meters apart on the Golden Mountain, looked at each other, then instinctively shrank their necks, and quickly found a place to hide.
This treasure hall is lined with many huge pillars supporting the building structure. The base area of each pillar is comparable to that of an ordinary house.
Bilbo quickly shrank his body behind a pillar, which had been carved by the dwarves. The depression in the middle was enough for a short hobbit to hide.
Flannel balls are easier.
It rushed up to another pillar in two or two, and was still climbing up this huge pillar whose total length was equivalent to the dome, let alone a hundred meters.
The kitten stopped when it was more than ten meters away from the pile of gold coins below.
After hiding the heads of the cat and the hobbit, they carefully stretched out their heads and scanned the vast mountains of gold and silver.
Oddly enough, the dwarves kept saying how terrifying, ferocious, and huge Smaug was.
But in this treasure hall that it supposedly loves the most, Fluffy Ball and Bilbo have not seen even one of its scaly claws, but only smelled the dragon's stink.
But then, during the collapse of the pile of gold coins caused by Bilbo, in front of the pillar where the hobbits were, there was a hillock in the gold mountain.
Something was revealed in the large piece of gold coin sliding down.
Reddish-brown hard skin, sharp and ferocious scales, and in an instant, the smell of a dragon that made people instinctively disgusted It also became more intense.
Bilbo stretched his head out from behind the pillar. When he saw this, he first opened his mouth, then immediately covered his mouth and nose, holding his breath.
Under the hard skin and scales, the muscles began to pulsate, and finally slowly opened.
Just like a lizard, first the outer reddish-brown eyelids open up and down, then the inner white membrane opens left and right, and finally the dim, vertical reptilian pupils appear!
Smaug, who has been sleeping in the Golden Mountain and has not woken up for more than sixty years, opened his eyes!
A large number of gold coins pressed against the dragon fell from its brow bones and eyelids because of Smaug's action of opening his eyes.
The flannel ball was scratching on the pillar, looking at Bilbo and barely daring to breathe.
The dragon is too close to him!
But the velvet ball is now covered in hair, and the hair that was originally docile has now expanded so much that it has gained weight!
It didn’t dare to call Bilbo to let him get close to it, because there was also a clattering sound under the huge pillar where the flannel ball was!
It seems that something buried deep in the gold mountain is slowly rising, and a large number of gold coins are pushed aside.
And the outline that was pushed up under the pile of gold coins, and the way it moved, looked like a thick swimming snake.
——Smaug’s Tail!
Flannel Ball’s mouth couldn’t help but open wide.
It is a cat that is a mixture of Ellu and Detel, who was born and raised in the New World.
Although I follow Lan En on adventures to improve myself and accumulate experience.
But so far in this life, it is not against the law to say, "I have seen more monsters than people." It's not an exaggeration.
So although Smaug was still in the rhythm of stretching his body slightly after waking up from his sleep, he was buried in the golden mountain.
But Linbuqiu has already roughly understood the outline of this legendary evil dragon based on his own experience.
"The sleeping posture is generally a curled-up state, and when you wake up, the tail is the first to exert force at the middle and back. If you look at it this way."
The kitten is sitting on the top of the giant pillar. , carefully stretched out his head, while muttering in his mouth.
"At least one hundred and thirty meters?! Is it a super, super large ancient dragon cat?!"
