Guts and the Skull Knight stood side by side, looking back at the source of the sound.

The person who spoke was a "little man" who was a little over one meter tall.

The other person was wearing a linen robe, holding a golden ring in his left hand and a dazzling gem in his right hand.

The two of them subconsciously looked at the gem in his hand, but quickly looked away and focused their attention on it.

This man is short but well-proportioned and is obviously not a dwarf.

"Newcomer?" Gus turned around and asked.

Bilbo had heard the invitation to the Space-Time Tavern in his mind earlier. After learning that there were many incredible treasures and all kinds of guests here, he accepted the invitation without thinking.

The evil dragon Smaug took his anger out on Lake Town at the foot of Lonely Mountain because of him, which made him extremely upset.

Now he just wants to seize every opportunity to stop the other party.

When he saw the images of the two, his eyes visibly lit up.

Gus is a man of solid build, and his long years of killing have left him with a thick aura of murderous intent, making him look very difficult to mess with.

Needless to say, everyone can see that the Skeleton Knight is a tough guy, just like one can tell that the Arken gem is worth a lot of money.

"Can you help me?" He took a few steps forward and looked up at the two people for help.

"What help do you need?" Before the two of them could say anything, a voice came from the other side.

It was Li Yunlong.

After receiving 500,000 time and space coins from Sun Wukong, he hesitated for a while, and finally, at Zhao Gang's suggestion, he spent most of it to improve his strength and give gifts to several old subordinates and comrades, and used the rest to buy a lot of things for the organization.

Now he has drunk several kinds of fine wines that directly enhance strength, such as Thor's Gene Wine and Magneto's Gene Wine. His strength has already been improved to an incredible level.

A few days ago, the woman named Xiuqin boldly confessed her love to him and asked Zhao Gang to be the matchmaker, so he had no choice but to get married at a young age.

He didn't come to the tavern these days because he was preparing for the wedding.

Because of the pub, his status and position are no longer the same as before, so he originally just wanted to set up a few tables, but ultimately failed.

The wedding was quite simple, but there were too many guests, so it took him several days to get through.

After his wedding, he finally had time to come to the tavern.

After hearing about Zhang Xiaofan's story, he was regretting that he couldn't go, but he never expected to have an unexpected gain.

Please help.

He loves it so much.

Bilbo glanced at him, then finally returned his gaze to Gus.

In his opinion, this burly man holding a huge sword and looking murderous is more reliable.

But he remembered what Li Yunlong said.

"Smaug, it wants to destroy Lake Town..."

The Hobbit told the story of the evil dragon Smaug, the dwarves and himself in a disjointed manner.

"The last dragon in Middle-earth?" the Skeleton Knight wondered.

"A dragon," Bilbo corrected with a wry smile, "It is the last known dragon, but not the last dragon. I heard there are still dragons in other places."

Although he really wanted these people to help, he didn't want to encourage innocent people to die, so he added truthfully: "It has lived for hundreds of years. It is very scary. Its horror is obvious to all..."

As they listened to him talk about Smaug's height of over a hundred meters, his dragon scales that could not be broken by swords, spears or magic, and the mountains of gold coins and treasures, the eyes of the three people present became brighter and brighter.

"We'll definitely help you with this!" Li Yunlong waved his hand, walked between Guts and the Skeleton Knight, put his arms around their shoulders, and said, "Let's go together!"

"You..." Bilbo hesitated.

He had just said so much on impulse, and after he came to his senses, he was embarrassed again.

Given how powerful Smaug was, I'm afraid humans are no match for him.

"It's horrible," he whispered.

"I'm afraid it will be too weak and boring." Li Yunlong said nonchalantly.

Xiuqin's physique is not strong enough, and he has been accumulating a lot of energy recently but has no place to vent it.

Guts and Skull Knight just nodded without saying a word.

Seeing the confidence of the three, Bilbo decided to give it a try: "Thank you!"

But how to get there?

He looked embarrassed.

Li Yunlong saw what he was thinking, smiled and pointed to the Hero Order Screen, and said, "Hurry up and issue the Hero Order."

The Skeleton Knight followed with a quick explanation.

Knowing that Bilbo had no money, Gus said considerately: "We'll pay for it ourselves."

They'll earn it back anyway.

Thinking of this, the three of them became impatient.

But before that, they plan to buy a wine that is well-versed in languages.

Recently, there are more and more guests traveling across dimensions. At their suggestion, Su Luo collected the languages ​​mastered by every guest entering the tavern and formed this language that knows all about fine wines.

This wine is not valuable, but it is very useful.

So, Su Luo watched the Hobbits appear and hurriedly took the three of them away.

He smiled and shook his head, finding it amusing.

“Will the Dragon-Slaying Sword really become the Dragon-Slaying Sword this time?” He also felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

…

On the lonely mountain.

The dwarf leader Thorin stared blankly at the evil dragon that was gradually flying away.

He had finally planned this perfect trap, trying to kill the brutal dragon with molten gold, but he didn't expect this result.

The scorching golden water couldn't do any harm to it! The golden water splashed on the ground, almost extinguishing the fire of hope in his heart.

Is the dragon really invincible? When the other dwarves saw the dragon Smaug flying towards Lake Town, they also felt sad.

They had fantasized about regaining their ancestral land for hundreds of years, and never expected this would be the outcome.

Just when everyone was in despair, they suddenly heard a voice behind them.

"Is it Smaug?" Gus asked.

"That's right," said Bilbo.

He looked at Smaug's figure from afar, with deep worry flashing in his eyes.

He still didn't have much confidence in the three helpers he had invited.

"Leave it to me!" Guts said in a deep voice, holding the Dragon Slaying Sword tightly in both hands.

He suddenly stomped his feet on the ground and flew up with a bang, flying out from the Lonely Mountain like a cannonball and chasing in the direction of Smaug.

Since he entered the tavern, he has been killing apostles and underworld creatures for money every day.

Hundreds or even thousands of time and space coins are deposited into the account every day, which makes Uncle Jiu very envious.

Except for the tens of thousands of time and space coins he had saved to prepare a gift for Casca, the rest of the time and space coins were used by him to improve his own strength.

His physical fitness is now more than a thousand times that of an ordinary person.

The evil dragon Smaug not only does not make him feel afraid, but instead makes him excited.

"I'll help you!"

The Skeleton Knight said something, and the warhorse under his crotch suddenly appeared, flying in the air, chasing in the direction of the dragon like the wind.

"Wait for me."

Li Yunlong always leads the charge in battle, so there is no chance that he will fall behind now.

A moment later, the three of them left the lonely mountain.

The shaking of the ground finally stopped.

Bilbo stood up in a hurry, saw the cracks on the ground formed by Gus's force, and looked at the thousand-foot cliff in front of him.

The cool breeze was blowing, but a look of deep surprise appeared on his face.

These three helpers seem really extraordinary.

Maybe they can really kill the dragon! The twelve dwarves were stunned.

They naturally saw that Guts and the other two were all human beings.

They originally looked down upon ordinary humans.

Greedy and hypocritical, even the weapons he forged were disgusting to the dwarves.

In their eyes, humans are not as interesting as hobbits.

But where did these three people come from? They can actually fly!

Even a white robe wizard wouldn't be able to do it, right? ...

Smaug has already flown over Lake-town.

The roar of the evil dragon made the residents of the whole town panic.

Hearing the noisy and panicked shouts, the evil dragon became even angrier.

Do these lowly humans really think they can do whatever they want just because they have hurt themselves before?

They even dared to team up with the dwarves to plot against their own treasure.

Now it will let these humble ants know how foolish it is to anger the great Smaug.

It let out a long howl and raised its head high.

A stream of hot dragon breath surged out, instantly setting a large area of ​​houses on fire.

People ran away crying.

The mayor and his entourage had already prepared a boat for escape when they heard the dragon's roar, and were now loading boxes of treasure onto the boat.

Caught off guard, the mayor who was standing on the shore directing the troops fell into the water and called for help in panic.

The subordinates who had ulterior motives kicked him back into the water and tried to run away with the boat full of treasures.

Bard, who had earlier noticed unusual movements in Lonely Mountain and wanted to come out to investigate, finally rushed out.

Seeing the huge shadow covering the sky, he clenched his fists tightly.

The evil dragon Smaug! Just as the ancestors had recorded! He looked at the wind crossbow in the center of the town, and thought of the black arrow passed down from his ancestors, and a surge of courage arose in his heart to turn the tide.

If we allow this evil dragon to continue like this, Changhu Town and its residents will probably be finished.

We must fight to the death to prove what our ancestors said.

He stared at the evil dragon in the air, and when he saw it raising its neck and about to exhale again, he suddenly saw a black shadow appear behind the evil dragon.

Under the moonlight, a dazzling light flashed in the sky, followed by a painful howl.

Bard looked up and saw the blood rain falling from the sky.

Along with the blood rain, there was also a man holding an exaggerated big sword.

Blood was still dripping from the blade.

Bud's heart trembled violently.

He had never thought that a mortal could be so powerful that he could easily inflict a wound on a dragon! It turned out that the dragon's scales were not so indestructible!

Just as he was staring in amazement, he saw the man fall to the ground with a bang.

Before he could worry about whether the other party was injured, he saw it suddenly fly out like an arrow.

This time Bard saw it clearly, watching the other party turn his back to the moonlight, raise his sword with both hands, and chop at the dragon again with incredible power! Leaping a hundred meters high, how could this be a human! Bard's eyes widened, afraid to miss this shocking scene.

…

The man holding the sword is Guts.

His earlier sword strike left a wound several meters long in the dragon's abdomen, which obviously frightened the dragon.

What Smaug was most proud of was the scales on his body that were impenetrable by swords.

However, Guts's Dragon Slaying Sword had been infected by countless creatures from the Netherworld and was no longer an ordinary object, so it was naturally not difficult for it to penetrate its scales.

Seeing that he had just landed and was coming towards him again with a determined momentum, Smaug still panicked even though he knew that a breath of dragon would most likely turn him into ashes.

It had never seen such a monster.

The cold eyes and murderous aura made it feel that the other party was the evil dragon, and it was just a weak and helpless human.

It flapped its wings, trying to escape.

However, just as its body rose higher, it felt its body sink, as if something hit it on the back.

It turned out that the Skeleton Knight fell on it.

Smaug's body sank a little involuntarily, and then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

It let out a wail and its body rolled in the air.

At this moment, it was shocked, angry, and afraid! What was stepping on its head? And this human was clearly a monster in human skin!

Could it be that after more than a hundred years of sleep, human beings have developed to this point?

…

On the ground.

Bard raised his head and opened his arms to catch the splashing dragon blood.

The dragon's blood was so hot that it gave him a stinging sensation as if he were being burned.

But he didn't care at all, just opened his mouth wide and laughed heartily.

This damn dragon is finally going to die!

He looked at Guts, who leaped up again and slashed at the dragon's neck, with fanatical eyes.

Looking at the rapidly approaching black shadow, Smaug was completely panicked.

It felt a deadly threat.

Its body circled and flipped, and when it finally got rid of the skeleton knight behind it and was about to fly, it felt a heavy pressure coming from all around.

In an instant, it was unable to move.

Li Yunlong finally arrived.

He uses his superpowers as Magneto to exert the force of the magnetic field on the evil dragon.

The Skeleton Knight took advantage of the situation and stabbed the dragon's neck with his sword.

Guts's sword slashed down at the same time.

Smaug roared in horror and struggled with all his might.

But its body became heavier and heavier, falling towards the ground little by little.

"Save some breath."

“The living are more valuable.”

Skeleton Knight and Li Yunlong spoke one after another.

Guts's final strike was slightly tilted, and ended up only cutting off half of Smaug's neck.

The evil dragon was dying.

The residents of Changhu Town were all staring at this scene in amazement.

Kill a dragon with bare hands?

They had never dared to think of such a thing before.

Even the bard’s story wouldn’t dare be told in such a way!

Looking at Gus and the others, everyone had an uncontrollable look of fear on their faces.

Could it be that these three guys are really not human?

Gus and the other two naturally didn't care what these natives thought.

The Skeleton Knight had already put away his horse and was looking around.

Changhu Town is a town built on a lake, with most of the houses being located on the water.

Smaug only had time to breathe once, so only a corner of the town was destroyed, causing little damage.

The scenery here is beautiful and has a unique beauty.

"There is no scent of those filthy underworld creatures." The Skeleton Knight muttered to himself.

He thought this place was nice.

Guts looked at his sword in silence.

The name of the sword is Dragon Slaying.

This is a large two-handed sword, extremely large in size and very heavy, and it is almost impossible for a mortal to lift it.

When he first heard Su Luo talk about it, he went to search for it in the blacksmith shop and took it as if it were a treasure.

This sword really suits him.

With its help, apostles and underworld creatures died one after another in despair.

Bathed in the blood of these monsters, he could feel that the sword was also undergoing a transformation.

Especially when he broke Smaug's armor today, he could almost feel the bloodthirstiness and joy coming from the sword.

After drinking the dragon's blood, it really transformed! Guts could now clearly see the dragon's blood on the blade being absorbed bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But the notches on the blade made him silent.

This dragon-slaying sword is worthy of the name, but it's a pity that it was damaged in the end.

He felt distressed and a little overwhelmed.

Without this sharp blade, he didn't know where to find a weapon that was equally useful.

Li Yunlong, who was beside him, was controlling his superpowers, causing all the iron pots, shovels, gold coins and other objects in the town to fly towards him.

The mayor's subordinate finally rowed away from this troubled place, but before he could be happy, he found that the gold and silver objects on the boat were flying up.

"My gold!" he exclaimed, and hurriedly chased after it, threw himself into the water, and chased after it screaming.

When he saw the boat drifting farther and farther away with the current and there was only the cold lake water around him, he woke up with a horror.

However, his strength had reached its limit.
