After seeing Yang Pan, Gandalf and the dwarf prince Thorin both stood up from their seats.

Looking at Yang Pan's restored body, Gandalf said in surprise, "Oh, Mr. Axe, are you awake? It seems that your injury has almost recovered. This resilience is really amazing."

"Since you're awake, let's sign the contract. That crappy snitch has already signed it." Thorin looked at Yang Pan for a while, and then said to the old dwarf Balin next to him, "Balin, give him the contract of the Axe."

Bar."

After hearing this, Balin took out a small notebook and handed it to Yang Pan without any nonsense.

Yang Pan directly reached out and took the small book handed over by Bahrain, opened it and looked at it, and said, "Oh, just sign the contract directly, I thought there would be another team test."

Thorin glanced at Gandalf beside him, and then said, "With Sir's strength and Gandalf's recommendation, there is no need for those useless tests."

Looking at the contract, which was more than one meter long when stretched out, Yang Pan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and then said, "Well, that's good, I'll save you the trouble. It's just that the contract is a little long."

After briefly glancing at the contents of the contract, Yang Pan turned his attention to the task reminder that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Task name: Gushan Expedition,

Mission introduction: After being recommended by Gandalf, introduced by the dwarf Balin, and seeing your strength with your own eyes, the dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield decided to hire you to participate in their sacred expedition.

Mission requirements: Help the dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield drive away the evil dragon Smaug within one month, recapture Elbor, and hold on to it for one day.

During the mission, the dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield must not die, and the hobbit Bilbo Baggins must not die. More than half of the dwarves survive.

Mission reward: 70,000 trading points, Lonely Mountain’s wealth chest (containing one-tenth of the wealth in Lonely Mountain) (quality: gold, materials and miscellaneous items),

Failure penalty: 100,000 trading points will be deducted, and your reputation in Middle-earth will be greatly reduced.

Note: The greedy dragon Smaug will fight to the death to protect his wealth. Please make sure you have the strength to slay the dragon when completing the mission."

"Whether to accept."

After reading the mission information, Yang Pan raised his eyebrows, and then looked at the contract in his hand again. Skimming over the useless content in front, Yang Pan looked directly at the reward marked on the contract.

With the help of the infinite space of the universal translator, Yang Pan clearly saw that the content written above was exactly "one-tenth of the wealth of Gushan".

Sure enough, the rewards given by the infinite space are not groundless.

"The contract is quite fair, I agree."

While talking, Yang Pan bit his finger and pressed a bloody fingerprint on the contract.

As Yang Pan pressed his bloody fingerprint, the task 'Gushan Expedition' automatically appeared on his task list.

After pressing the fingerprints, Yang Pan folded the contract again and handed it to the old dwarf Balin, and nodded to Thorin.

After the contract was signed, Yang Pan didn't say anything to Thorin. Instead, he turned to the Hobbit who was busy in the kitchen and shouted, "Mr. Bilbo, is my food ready, or are you ready?"

Put yourself on the grill."

Accompanied by a slight hint of

There were noisy footsteps, and Bilbo walked out of the kitchen in a panic, carrying two plates.

"No, no, Mr. Axe, part of your food has been prepared. Please don't worry, I don't taste good."

As he spoke, Bilbo carefully placed two plates containing bacon, grilled fish, bread and fruit in front of Yang Pan, then quickly turned around and ran back to the kitchen.

However, when Bilbo walked out again carrying two plates, he found that Yang Pan was not eating the food he had just brought out as he thought, but was still sitting there as if waiting.

Gandalf and Thorin, who were also sitting at the table, looked at Yang Pan with wide eyes, as if they had seen something incredible.

While carrying the plate forward, Bilbo asked a little strangely, "What happened? Why doesn't Mr. Axe eat? Is the food not to his liking?"

At this moment, Gandalf on the side suddenly said, "Bilbo, why don't you consider roasting yourself."

After hearing Gandalf's words, Bilbo's expression froze and he stuttered, "Gandalf, stop joking."

Gandalf glanced at Bilbo, then at the empty plate in front of Yang Pan, and whispered, "I'm afraid we'll starve today."

Under the watchful eyes of Gandalf and Thorin, Bilbo walked up to Yang Pan. After seeing the two empty plates on the table, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

This time, after placing the food in his hand in front of Yang Pan, Bilbo did not leave immediately, but watched Yang Pan with Gandalf and Thorin.

Then, Bilbo saw a very shocking scene, a whole large plate of food disappeared in just ten seconds.

Yang Pan's mouth is like a grinder that can crush all food, and Yang Pan's stomach is like a bottomless pit that can never be filled.

Facing this terrifying pair, Bilbo felt that his future was bleak.

After finishing a plate of food, Yang Pan glanced at Bilbo who was sluggish behind him, and then whispered, "Mr. Bilbo, are you ready to bake your own grill?"

"No, no, no, I'm going to prepare food right now."

Having just witnessed Yang Pan swallowing a roast chicken that was as big as his head, Bilbo was really afraid of Yang Pan's appetite and immediately rushed back to the kitchen crawling.

…

Although the eating habits are slightly different, the food prepared by the hobbits is quite exquisite. Although the quantity is a little small, the taste is pretty good, so Yang Pan is quite satisfied with this meal.

However, although Yang Pan was satisfied with the meal, everyone else, including Gandalf and Thorin, were hungry and had nothing to eat, or it should be said that they had nothing to eat.

After drinking the last glass of fruit wine, Yang Pan wiped his mouth and burped, and then said to Gandalf, Thorin and the group of dwarves beside him, "Hey, they are all here, I have eaten too, then let's

When will we start taking action?"

After listening to Yang Pan's words, the group of people gathered around the dining table looked at each other, thinking that you are full, but we are all still hungry.

However, although their hearts are full of complaints, they will not express it with their mouths.

on the one hand

, where is Yang Pan's combat effectiveness? On the other hand, in last night's battle, Yang Pan's contribution really left them speechless.

In the end, the group of dwarves headed by Thorin asked Bilbo to help prepare some dry food, and then their Lonely Mountain expedition team officially embarked on their journey.

Now that he has joined the team, Yang Pan doesn't mind exposing some of his special abilities. Anyway, as long as his "evil" abilities are not exposed, it will not affect the relationship between Yang Pan, the dwarves and Gandalf.

After rejecting the weak little pony that Thorin gave him, Yang Pan took out the elf ball and released Iron Tou, and jumped directly onto Iron Tou's back in front of everyone's surprised eyes.

After riding on the iron head, Yang Pan saw that no one took any action, so he had to say to the leaders Gandalf and Thorin, "Let me tell you, you are not going to let someone who doesn't know the way lead the way."

After a long silence, Gandalf gestured to Thorin and asked the dwarves to lead the way, and then said to Yang Pan, "Mr. Axe, your mount is indeed very powerful, but it may not be very suitable for expeditions.

"

Looking at the dwarves who had started to move forward but still looked back from time to time, Yang Pan asked Gandalf in surprise, "How do you say this?"

Following Yang Pan's question, Tietou subconsciously turned his head to Gandalf, who was riding a horse next to him.

As the demigod Maia, Gandalf was naturally not afraid of the beast Ironhead, but the ordinary horse he rode was not.

The horse Gandalf was riding was stared at by the ferocious beast Ironhead. It was already very nervous and was so frightened that it raised its front hooves high and let out a frightened neighing sound.

Gandalf, who was sitting on the horse, was almost knocked off his back by the frightened horse, but fortunately, through his comfort and a little magic, he successfully calmed the horse down.

While patting the horse's neck, Gandalf, who was startled by the horse, looked at Yang Pan, the meaning in his eyes was very obvious.

After witnessing Gandalf almost falling off his horse, Yang Pan patted Tietou's head to stop him from moving, and then said to Gandalf, "You go first, I will follow behind and try not to disturb you. Wait.

When we get to the front, I'll see if I can find any suitable animals to travel with."

Gandalf glanced at the huge and ferocious-looking iron head under Yang Pan. For a moment, Gandalf had no choice but to let Yang Pan run away.

"Okay, but I'm afraid you need to solve the food problem for your beast yourself."

"Don't worry about this. I'll prepare Tietou's food myself. He won't get extremely hungry and eat you and the horse."

"I hope so."

…

Although for the dwarves, going to Gushan was a very sacred expedition, for Yang Pan, the beginning of this sacred expedition was indeed a bit boring.

Throughout the day, the only enemies that Yang Pan and the others encountered were two wild dogs with eyes red from hunger. They immediately ran away with their tails between their legs after seeing the large group of them.

However, this journey is just the beginning. It is normal to not encounter any difficulties. It just so happens that Yang Pan's condition has not fully recovered at this time. He can take advantage of this gap period without encountering enemies to bask in the sun and restore his body.
