Chapter 23 Flame Demon
Pippin and Merry threw stones repeatedly, which frightened many of the orcs.
But after it happened several times, the orcs realized what was going on!
They immediately roared and surrounded them again!
Tie Hui had now moved to the front of the group!
Seeing the group of orcs surrounding him again, he immediately grinned.
That attack just now gave him nearly 300 points.
The trigger is pulled again!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——
In another two or three seconds, the orcish horde in front was cleared out, creating a wide path.
Aragorn, who was about to make a chopping motion, immediately stopped upon seeing this.
Even though I'd seen it many times before, seeing it again still left me in disbelief: "My God! That's so easy!"
And so Ironbeak led the way with his laser gun, while Aragorn stood guard around with his sword, keeping watch against any orcs who might try to get close and attack.
Gandalf would occasionally unleash a flash of magic from the rear.
The procession moved at an extremely fast pace!
Roar--
But the next second, a beastly roar came.
The orcs who had been roaring fell silent instantly, all turning to look in the direction from which the roar had come.
As if waiting for something.
This puzzled the group that was breaking through, and Tie Hui, seeing this, naturally knew what it was.
Seeing that everyone seemed eager to take a look, he immediately shouted, "Let's go! This is a rare opportunity!"
Drink—roar—
But the next second, a huge roar came, accompanied by a shockwave.
Suddenly, a red light shone from the darkness deep behind the hall, illuminating the surrounding space.
This immediately threw the group of orcs into a panic, and they began to scatter and flee in all directions.
Tie Hui swallowed hard; he was already wearing dragon scale armor.
As soon as the fire demon appeared, the surrounding temperature rose several degrees.
Quickly remove the nearly depleted battery and replace it with a new one from the dimensional space.
Make thorough preparations!
Roar--
The roar came again!
This time, the air currents were even stronger, and the red light illuminated one stone pillar after another, as well as the dark space around them.
The sound of tremors followed closely behind; the regular tremors clearly indicated that a huge, heavy object was moving on it.
Their direction was exactly where they were!
"What kind of monster is it this time?" Boromir couldn't take it anymore and shouted.
Legolas followed at the very back, drawing his bow and keeping a watchful eye on the light.
As an elf, even walking backwards, I can keep up with everyone else!
"Balladin—" Gandalf said, looking back as he ran, while also answering Boromir's question.
The moment this term was uttered, it was used by people other than Hobbits and Ironhide.
Everyone present turned around in shock!
"An ancient demon dwells deep underground! None of you are its match!" Gandalf deliberately slowed down and landed behind the group.
Clearly, they wanted to hold off the Flame Demon when things seemed hopeless.
"That thing from Tulag... Ray?" Merri looked at the panicked expressions on everyone's faces and suddenly remembered the explosive device from earlier.
"It's useless. That only causes damage through the explosion of flames! It's of no use to Balrogs!" Gandalf replied, shaking his head.
Tie Hui's curiosity was piqued, and he raised the laser gun in his hand, asking, "This one doesn't work either?"
Gandalf shook his head: "I don't know!"
With Tie Hui's advance warning, the group quickly arrived at the gate.
The group quickly passed through the gate and ran towards the stairwell.
Just as Boromir was about to fall, Legolas pulled him back in time.
whoosh-
An arrow suddenly pierced the air and flew towards them.
Legolas turned and grabbed it, then shot it back.
The surrounding stone walls and tunnels were already teeming with orc archers.
Aside from dealing with orc archers, the group faced no other difficulties along the way.
Even the path at the broken bridge was made possible by the advance breakout, which gave everyone ample time to jump across.
After Tie Hui jumped over first, he stood still, relying on his armor, and engaged in a stand-and-shoot exchange with the orc archers.
Try to improve your shooting accuracy!
However, the number of orc archers was increasing, forcing everyone to take cover from time to time.
When we arrived at Qazadoom Bridge, we looked down into the abyss.
Ironfellow then knew that they had arrived at the place where Gandalf had advanced.
The Balrog had already appeared in the flames behind them, but was still quite a distance away from the group.
Everyone crossed the bridge one by one. Jinli crossed the bridge first and then looked back at everything.
The sadness on her face was impossible to hide.
This place is the home of his people!
After everyone had crossed the bridge, they waited for Gandalf, who was crossing the bridge.
Ironhide, however, looked at Gandalf, who had also crossed the bridge, with a complicated expression.
Unexpectedly, his breakthrough greatly extended their escape time.
Therefore, Balrog did not catch up with them, and it seems that Gandalf will not be able to advance this time.
If I can't advance, so be it. I'll have his guidance along the way, so I'll have someone to rely on.
Everyone turned to look at the enormous, rapidly approaching Flame Demon.
I only felt a sense of relief.
Gandalf turned to the group and said, "We're close to the exit, let's hurry!"
"Ha-hoo—"
Just as everyone was relaxing, a beastly roar suddenly came from the passage behind them.
As Jinli approached the passage, he turned around in confusion and saw a tall, burly orc clad in fine armor wielding a cleaver, which was about to strike him down.
Legolas reacted the fastest, realizing what was happening the instant he heard the roar, and swiftly turned around to draw his arrow and shoot it.
It struck the orc squarely in the throat!
Immediately afterward, several burly orcs charged straight at the corner of the stairs.
Meanwhile, roars of beasts rose and fell behind him, indicating that he had companions.
Everyone was shocked and furious at the sight.
Tie Hui was even more puzzled, looking at the orcs' attire and physique.
Looking at the white handprints on their faces, these are clearly the powerful orcs bred by Saruman.
Shouldn't they have waited until they left the Golden Forest before coming out?
How did it suddenly appear in this place?
This scene wasn't in the original storyline!
He looked at the orcs pouring out of the passage, then looked back at the Balrogs rapidly approaching.
Tie Hui felt his scalp tingle instantly. The terrifying aura of the Flame Demon forced him to move forward quickly and raise his laser gun to fire wildly at the orc!
Tie Hui cleared out a wave of surging orcs, and then took advantage of the opening to take out a grenade and throw it.
But Aragorn stopped him immediately!
"It's too powerful, it'll destroy the passage!" After saying this while gripping his longsword, he shouted and charged forward.
Tie Hui knew that he had to start close combat no matter what, and cursed the Emperor in his heart!
This weasel, without even trying to muster any strength, pulled out its bayonet, attached it, and roared as it charged forward.
