Chapter 234 Chu Xin: I am Sun Wukong, right? (New World)
Hearing Smaug's joking and taunting words, the man named Bard clutched the broken crossbow and was helpless for a moment.
How can ordinary humans be qualified to fight against the giant dragon at the top of the combat power pyramid on their own?
You must know that the Lonely Mountain, the lair where Smaug now lives, was once the greatest dwarf kingdom, possessing gold and silver jewelry that was coveted throughout Middle-earth, as well as a rigorous and powerful industrial chain.
But Smaug suppressed with absolute power, brutally slaughtered and expelled the dwarves, and occupied their territory and treasures. All tribes were eager for treasures, but they were all afraid of the dragon. For many years, no one came close to the Lonely Mountain.
He single-handedly defeated a country and burned down the human settlement of Valley Town at the foot of the mountain!
As a descendant of the leader of Riverdale Town, Bard is naturally very aware of the differences between them.
"Dad~"
At this time, a young man climbed up the wooden tower carrying a black arrow that looked like a spear.
Bard just wanted to blame his son for taking the risk, but when he saw the black arrow, a bold and crazy plan instantly emerged.
This black arrow has an extraordinary origin.
It was made by the dwarves of Gushan. It is completely black and has a strange shape. The arrows are hollow and twisted, resembling a genetic spiral.
The most important thing is that it is so sharp that it can even penetrate the scales of a giant dragon!
Years ago, Riverdale was attacked by Smaug. Bard's ancestors used black arrows to fight back and knocked off a piece of scale armor on the left chest. Just as they were about to use the last black arrow to kill it, Smaug struck first.
And this remaining black arrow has been passed down to Bard from generation to generation.
He has been waiting for the day when he can fulfill his ancestors' long-cherished wish!
At the moment, it is undoubtedly fate.
"Bain, stand in front and don't move." Bader asked his son to come to him and put the black arrow on his shoulder.
Then, Bard removed the string from the broken crossbow, tied both ends to the stakes of the wooden tower, and placed the tail end of the black arrow on the string.
In this way, a simple artificial ballista was formed.
Bard pulled hard, tightened the bowstring, and aimed again and again at the area where a scale was missing from Smaug's left chest.
This was undoubtedly a risky move, and the success rate was so low that even Bard, who had the attributes of a marksman engraved in his blood, was sweating a lot.
The raging fire completely ignited Changhu Town, and countless terrifying screams and wails impacted the brains of father and son.
"The ants' desperate resistance? No, no, no, human, you haven't recognized the reality yet. I am the great fire dragon Smaug. My scales are like indestructible armor. You and your children are so fragile that you will die if you pinch them. And
How dare you stand there and confront me!"
Perhaps it was because a dragon had lived alone for too long. In addition to the bad qualities of most evil dragons, Smaug was also an out-and-out arrogant talker. He would chat non-stop with his enemies if he was not careful.
No, it fell to the ground, and while taunting the enemy and showing off itself, it slowly walked towards Bard, not caring at all whether the only weak spot on its chest was exposed.
It embodies the word arrogance to its fullest!
As the wings and forelimbs crawled, the chest was fully exposed, and the black depression was also imprinted in Bud's eyes.
Buzz!
At this moment, Bard keenly let go of his hand and shot out the high-speed rotating black arrow.
Looking at the cold crossbow arrows, Smaug vaguely felt something bad, but the arrogance in his bones made him not make any precautions or avoidance, but opened his mouth and prepared to spit out dragon fire.
puff!
The dragon's flames had already reached the root of the throat, but the black arrow accurately hit the left chest first. The explosive force penetrated and was completely absorbed into the flesh and blood.
Bard's ancestors were obviously skilled and experienced marksmen, because the location of the missing scale was Smaug's heart.
"Roar--"
In an instant, Smaug raised his head and screamed. The unprecedented pain and the threat of death made him extremely frightened.
Without leaving a single word behind, it fluttered its wings and flew high, its strong desire to survive driving it away from this place.
Unfortunately, when it was as high as the clouds and mist, the broken heart also stopped beating for the last time.
Breathing stopped, eyes blurred, movements tired.
Two seconds later, Smaug's golden eyes were like extinguished candles, becoming dim and dull, turning into a lifeless dragon corpse.
Then, its huge body completely lost power and fell backwards to the earth.
The people who fled looked up at the same time, shock and joy creeping onto their cheeks.
"It's Bud!"
"Bard shot the dragon!"
Naturally, someone witnessed that shocking scene with their own eyes.
boom--
Smaug fell heavily.
Its heavy body hit a corner of Changhu Town, directly crushing several houses, and then sank to the bottom of the lake.
What seemed like a hasty and crude way of death was actually foreshadowed and destined to be killed by Bader.
At this point, the last dragon of the Third Age of Middle-earth has fallen and died!
But Bard became famous in just a few days, and the world called him the Dragon Slayer!
For many years after that, Smaug's body sank at the bottom of the Long Lake.
Even though its scales, muscles, bones, and teeth had many uses, and there were many gold coins and gems left on its body, no one had ever salvaged it, let alone cut it into pieces and sold it.
Because the dragon is an ominous sign, no one can guarantee whether it will be cursed after being contaminated. After the reconstruction, the people of Changhu Town even abandoned the large area where it fell and died, and did not have the courage to approach it.
…
Sixty years later.
Today, Changhu Town has been lifted out of poverty and has become rich, and people are living a prosperous and stable life.
Of course, the people of Lake Town themselves moved from Riverdale Town back then. After Smaug's death, some people followed Bard and moved back to Riverdale Town, which has superior terrain and prosperous buildings. Bard served as the King of Riverdale and after his death
The inheritance king is located in the descendants.
However, Changhu Town was not abandoned directly. The remaining people used the treasures in the Gushan Palace to rebuild it and it became an important waterway trade port.
Huhu~
The early morning river breeze carries the fresh smell of the dense forest and blows through this floating town.
An elderly woman opened the window on the third floor and took a deep breath of air with enjoyment.
Her eyes drifted to the water in the distance, which was where Smaug fell. Most of the surrounding houses had been demolished, leaving only a layer of wooden planks for people to walk on.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, looking at the deserted scene that is incompatible with Changhu Town, no one has set foot in it for a long time.
"I was only twelve years old at that time, and I became old in the blink of an eye. Thanks to Lord Bard, everyone has lived a good life. Now his grandsons have become the kings of the river valley. Time flies so fast."
The old woman said with emotion.
"The weather was fine a few days ago, and the sun was very dazzling. A few of us saw the corpse of the evil dragon on the cliff." An old man came over with a teapot. "The water in the lake was crystal clear, and its rotting corpse lay quietly on the river bed.
Above, the sunlight shines down, just like a piece of demonic amber, as if it is not dead, but dormant under the water, waiting for resurrection."
The old man was a well-educated man, and his composition of words and sentences was quite picturesque, which made the old woman beside him frown.
She hurriedly slapped his mouth and said, "Shut it now, don't say any bad words! It's dead with only bones left, how can it be resurrected!"
"I'm just talking nonsense, why do you take it seriously?" The old man quickly comforted his wife.
"Don't joke about this kind of thing. It's best if evil monsters like Smaug die." The old woman snorted.
The couple closed the window, turned around, and went to have breakfast.
A lively day in Changhu Town has begun again.
The fishermen drove their boats out of the port, and the guards who had been on duty overnight went home to catch up on their sleep.
Women and children walked through the streets and alleys, going to markets selling various goods.
Today's River Valley Town and Changhu Town both have good relations with the dwarves of the Gushan Kingdom and the elves of the Woodland Kingdom. With the help of these two awesome neighbors, it is difficult not to develop.
The long-term prosperity and peace have made people gradually forget the pain of history and reduced the sense of crisis.
Little did they know, the old man’s joke turned out to be a prophecy!
Hua Hua~ Hua Hua~
The sparkling lake surface was rippled with ripples, and plump fish sometimes jumped up and sometimes dived.
But there is a place where no living thing comes close.
In other words, they are afraid.
To the southwest of Long Lake Town, going straight to the bottom of the lake, Smaug's huge body lies buried here.
It has never been as quiet and kind as it is now in its life, and it looks very well-behaved and motionless.
The once shining red-gold scales have lost their luster and are as dull as dead old tree bark, while the flesh and blood and internal organs under the skin have long been rotten and fester. As long as they are touched by foreign objects, they will immediately melt into powder, leaving only the bones all over the body.
Still as hard as iron.
It has no vitality at all, exuding a breathless aura of decay from the inside out, mixed with the ferocious majesty that once belonged to the dragon clan, conflicting with the beauty of death.
Suddenly, the tip of the dragon corpse's tail seemed to move.
The sloshing arc is very small, which may be an illusion caused by water flow and sunlight.
The school of fish in the distance seemed to have noticed something strange. Without any intelligence, they fled away in a heap under the control of instinct.
…
"where am I?"
"What kind of role is this time? It feels so strange~"
"Why is there such a strong and strong smell of death? Is the place I am on a battlefield or a grave?"
“It’s so cold, but not like a simple low temperature~”
"Hiss! Something is wrong. What opening has the system arranged for me?"
Chu Xin, whose consciousness was in darkness, began to think boredly based on the only sense he had at the moment.
Gradually, a blank card appeared.
An invisible brush is painted on it, and the name and vertical painting are revealed completely at the same time.
"Um?"
Chu Xin was surprised in his heart.
Because the vertical painting is a unique Western dragon.
"Smaug the Skeleton Dragon?" Chu Xin read out the words above.
That's right, this is a skeletal dragon covered in rotting flesh and white bones!
"Isn't Smaug the evil dragon in the Lord of the Rings series? He was shot to death by Bard because of his talkativeness." Chu Xin suddenly realized that he had arrived in the famous Middle-earth continent.
Buzz~
Blood characters appear - "Lord of the Rings" movie series.
As expected, Chu Xin guessed correctly.
"Looking at it like this, it's true that I traveled through time and became Smaug, but it was a dragon corpse after death." Chu Xin thought for a while, "It's kind of interesting!"
Speaking of the six movies "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", we have to mention the original novel "The Lord of the Rings".
As the originator of Western fantasy epics, it has a profound influence on Western fantasy literary works and laid the foundation for many settings, which many later works have learned from.
I wonder who doesn’t know about the extremely desirable world of Middle-earth?
Words such as elves, dwarves, orcs, dragons, wizards, etc. are full of fascinating and powerful magic, just like the fairyland in Chinese legends.
Chu Xin retracted his thoughts and focused his attention on the present.
Buzz~
All his senses were online, and he had already sensed the flow and sound of water.
But he did not get up and move directly. He continued to pretend to be dead. No, strictly speaking, he was indeed dead. He should now be classified as an undead creature.
"Fortunately I've seen The Hobbit, otherwise I wouldn't have known the whole story." Chu Xin murmured to himself.
"The Hobbit" is the prequel to "The Lord of the Rings", and the two story lines are sixty years apart.
The story of the former is quite simple:
“The dwarf kingdom in the Lonely Mountain, with its endless treasures, attracted Smaug who also liked gold, silver and jewelry.
As an evil dragon, it slaughtered the dwarves unreasonably and used force to occupy the magpie's nest.
The displaced dwarves were forced to migrate and had a fierce war with the Orc tribe. The king and most of the tribe were killed in the battle, but his grandson Thorin and a few others survived.
Later, Thorin embarked on the road of restoration under the guidance of the gray robe wizard Gandalf. During this period, he met the hobbit Bilbo, and a dozen of them embarked on an adventure.
Because they returned to the Lonely Mountain, Smaug was enraged and vented his anger on Lake Town, but lost his life as a result.
Thorin successfully regained the kingdom, but he contracted dragon disease. In short, he was confused by the treasure and became selfish and profit-seeking, thus offending the elves and humans, and the battlefield broke out.
Just when the elves and dwarves were fighting in full swing, the Orcs were ordered by the Dark Lord Sauron to go out and take advantage of the situation, setting off the famous Battle of the Five Armies.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the end, the dwarf king Thorin and the Oak leader died together, the war ended, and all races entered a rare period of peace."
The latter is an epic struggle between the good and the bad over the Lord of the Rings.
Chu Xin estimated that he was within the timeline of "Lord of the Rings".
"Let me see what abilities I have now."
He began to examine this brand new broken body.
Panel opens:
[Smaug, the Dragon of Bones]
Proficiency: 0%
Record: A body of bones separated from flesh and blood, with the ability to fly, brute force that is not weak but not strong either; immortality that will not be completely annihilated until it is completely broken apart.
100% Super Skill: None yet
"You're really dead. The ability to breathe fire is gone. Forget it. Just a skeleton. Don't ask too much." Chu Xin was not discouraged.
At this time, he will use the 5 gashapon machine drawing opportunities he has reserved.
Fortunately, he didn't use it much in the last world.
He immediately turned on the gashapon machine.
Without saying anything, he just pumped twice in a row.
The first one rolls out first and turns on automatically:
"[Skeleton Dragon's Flame] (gives the power of flames to the skeletal body, and can spray dragon flames from its mouth. The power is equal to that of Smaug during his lifetime. It can be upgraded and has great potential)."
Before Chu Xin could think about it, the second gashapon also rolled out.
When he saw the real cards inside, he suddenly woke up and revealed ten guaranteed cards!
Gacha turned on:
"New card [Phoenix City] (from an unknown small mobile city in the movie "Plunder")"
The vertical painting above is a small steel city filled with steam wind.
It's said to be a city, but it's actually similar to Howl's Moving Castle, with houses tightly packed together and moving underneath on wheels or tracks.
Chu Xin was stunned, a little unexpected.
He had seen this post-apocalyptic steampunk movie. After all, it was quite exciting, and the setting of plundering and devouring cities was also very novel.
But this card~
Good guy, is the system so wild?
After the undead type of dragon corpse, the city has come out!
