"These footprints are still very fresh, and they should be less than a day away. Let's get faster..."

Since he has caught up with the other party's tail, Aragon is not willing to waste more time, so he stood up and continued to rush.

Now, all three of them are very tired, but he also knows that the orcs must be more tired than them! After all, they can still take time to eat a few bites of Lambas. This magical dry food containing the vigorous vitality of Amenzhou, those strong orcs do not have this treatment.

"Ah! Wait for me..."

When Aragon started running again, a round thing rolled down on a small hill behind. That was actually... Dwarf Jinli?

"Hurry up! Jinli! We're about to catch up with them!"

“…”

"We dwarves are not good at traveling a long distance!"

"We dwarves are all natural sprinters... Of course, we don't have to compare with you guys with long legs!"

Jin Li has always complained about the long-distance raid. For him, the disadvantage is too great!

"I saw them... northwest, are they planning to go to Aisinger?"

After running up to a high hill, Leglas soon saw a very conspicuous dust floating in the air for a long time on the edge of the sky in the northwest direction!

Obviously, it must be the dust that the orcs trampled on and floated when they marched on a large scale in a hot environment. Now, after three days of sleepless pursuit, it was finally the first time they had really seen each other.

———

"Hey! I said, Old Man Gandalf!"

"What are we doing here? This forest looks gloomy, wet, and dirty. I don't like it here!"

After hitting the flame demon hard at the peak of Mount Mist and asking the bear Tibers to teach it how to be a qualified pet with his fist, Anne forcibly sealed it and stuffed it into her personal dimension space.

Compared to his little bear who can follow his super high-standard treatment all the time, the new flame demon is much more aggrieved...

If Anne doesn't summon it, it may always sleep in the dimensional space, and she can't think of it casually coming out to let the wind or stretch the muscles or bones.

"There is no meaning in this forest! I'm so bored!"

Originally, after cleaning up the Flame Demon and saving the half-beaten Gandalf, Anne planned to teleport back directly to continue playing her war game. However, when she saw Gandalf summoning several fun giant eagles, she felt that the big birds that could carry people to fly were a little curious, and she followed her again with a stern face.

Anne herself actually has a bigger, fiercer and more beautiful Fire Eagle, but she is not in this world. However, she is still a little curious about the giant eagle summoned by Gandalf. She felt that she could barely sit and try it, of course she would not let it go.

In the following time, they went to the Golden Forest and got a lot of fun and delicious food. Then, under the eyes of the beautiful elf aunt driving people, they then came to the Fagong Forest.

"Anne..."

"Okay, I don't really like this place, but we have to try it out to see if we can convince the ancient tree people here..."

Gandalf, who still looked a little embarrassed, was now wearing a white robe. It was given to him by the beautiful elf aunt who was in the Golden Forest before. She was a hot queen named Kellandriel!

Now he was walking slowly under the shade of a huge tree with damp and dark trees that could hardly be seen in the sun, and at the same time he was chatting with the little girl behind him who insisted on following him.

When Gandalf learned from the elves of Los Rollin that Fredo and his expedition had been broken up by the powerful orcs, he was very sad at first. The Lord of the Ring Expedition, which he led, had only walked halfway?

But when he knew that Frodo and Sam had already left the team alone and had crossed the Anduin River and planned to continue to go to Mordor, and Aragon and the others seemed to be chasing those strong orcs who had caught the Hobbits, Gandalf thought about it and could not wait all day long to stop working, so he planned to come to the Fargon Forest to try his luck.

He wanted to see if he could convince those powerful tree-grazing people to resist Aisinger's Saruman? If those big guys join, it might be easier to defeat Saruman by then?

"Treeherman?"

Annie can understand the tree man, but Annie seems to have never seen the tree man or something...

Then, feeling that she was a little fun, she began to look around and try to see the clues of the so-called tree shepherds from the big trees around her.

"Where are they now? Are they these big trees around?"

Annie herself could see that the big trees around her have definitely grown for thousands of years!

Their crowns are so high and dense that they cannot shine even on the sun! Over time, in this forest, except for their tall, strong, thick and large trunks, rotten fallen leaves, and the green moss that like shade and wet environments, other flowers and plants cannot grow here, making the surroundings look bare except those gray-brown trunks.

However, Anne did not discover the so-called tree people. Although the trees she saw had strong vitality, they were still a little short of the kind of tree people who could move and ancient wisdom that Old Man Gandalf said?

Tree-grazing people and other things probably won’t grow like this, right?

In Anne's own imagination, could the tree shepherds in this world be the kind of weird people with a few heads, green hair, and bark-like skin? Perhaps, they can still jump between big trees, just like big monkeys?

"No, these are just ordinary big trees, not tree people..."

"Treemen, also known as tree grazing people, are one of the oldest and most mysterious races in our Middle-earth world! They are said to have been born at the same time as the dwarves, but they walked between the continents earlier than the dwarves."

As Maiya, Gandalf began to recall the past. Some things, due to the long term, were a little confused.

"They... were born after Verayavanna asked Manvey, the king of the gods."

"To protect the ancient trees in the Middle Earth! Although they have not appeared in the sight of mortals for many years, I believe that there must be many survivals here, in this ancient Fagon Forest!"

Taking his wand as a crutch, Gandalf staggered while turning his head around to search.

"However, when they sleep, they are generally similar to ordinary big trees, so we need to be patient and careful..."

"But there is also good news, because I know that there are at least hundreds of tree herders living in the Fagong Forest, so we have a pretty good chance of finding them?"

Gandalf now doesn't know how to summon the tree man, so he didn't have any good ways to go slowly to the Fagong Forest, except for slowly searching.

"Look for it slowly?! Gandalf, are you crazy?!"

"Look, there are so many trees here! How do you look for them? Do you want to find them one by one?!"

Listening to the meaning of this old man Gandalf, he knew that he wanted to look for needles in this huge Fargon forest, and when he went looking for one tree after another, Anne immediately exploded.

She wouldn't do such a stupid thing with this old man!

This Fagong Forest is full of ancient trees. It is not easy to say that there are at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of large ancient trees, right?

If you look for it one by one like him, when will you find it?!

"Well……"

"In fact, that's what I just thought...or, Anne, do you have any good ideas?"

After sighing, Gandalf leaned on his wand and turned his head to look at the little girl with unhappy expressions on her face.

Gandalf himself is actually a little embarrassed about his stupid method of finding a needle in a haystack. It seems that this method is really stupid! But apart from that, he has no better way.

Those tree-grazing people have bad tempers. If they make a loud noise, they will easily backfire. After all, now they want to win over the other party and help them fight.

At most, he could only try his luck in places that are suitable for tree growth, and the land is wet and watery. Since the tree man has the word "tree", Gandalf thinks that they will definitely like places that are suitable for tree growth, fertile and watery, right?

Otherwise, what else can we do? If the tree people do not move and close their eyes and do not make a sound, they will really not be able to recognize them easily.

"Hmph! I won't be so stupid as you are looking for them!"

No matter how much she complained, she actually had no good idea when Annie squinted her eyes and looked at the towering trees around her that seemed to have the same vitality.

In her sight, these ancient trees all looked strangely shaped, and they all looked like sleeping tree people? Or they didn’t look like them?

"Hey, Gandalf...you just said that the tree people, their work is to protect this ancient Fargon Forest?"

His eyes turned, and after his little bear came up with a bad idea, Annie quickly knew how to make the people of those trees appear on their own.

"This... seems like this. Have you thought of any good idea?"

Of course, the herders are just to protect the trees. I still have to ask about such a simple thing?

So, Gandalf didn't quite understand what the little girl wanted to do, but when he saw the other party's cunning expression, he felt a little uneasy.

This little witch must be planning some irrelevant ghost idea again!

"Ahhh! Of course I thought of a good idea!"

After saying that, little Annie grabbed a big red fireball directly from her hand, then looked at the trees around her with a strange smile and said:

"If I burn this forest now, their tree-man gates will definitely come out, right?"

While smiling strangely, Annie made the fireball in her hand gradually grow bigger. It seems that she really has the urge to burn this small piece of Fagong forest nearby?

"Don't!!!"

Without thinking, Gandalf quickly turned back two steps and reached out to persuade the little girl.

"Annie... we are here to ask the tree people for help, not to make enemies... Please, please don't do such things that make the tree people angry..."

Gandalf also knew a little about the ancient tree herding people.

After all, he has seen many tree people in Middle-earth for so many years, and the trees in this Fagon Forest are also familiar to him?

If this little girl, she really used the method of burning trees here to lead them out, Gandalf believed that what he wanted to do would definitely be nothing to talk about! Those angry tree people would definitely attack them crazily until they drove the two of them out of the Fargon Forest?

"But, I think this method is pretty good!"

Frowning her cute brow, Anne was a little confused.

On one side is the old man Gandalf who begged her not to set fire, and on the other side, the little bear Tibers who was still trying hard to burn the forest in private and scared people to come out to play. She felt very embarrassed about this...

Is this going to burn? Or continue to burn...

"At worst, when we lead out their tree people, we quickly put out the fire and then deny it, saying that it was actually done by someone else?"

It seems like this is pretty good?

As long as you don’t admit it, I’m sorry that those trees can’t do anything to them, right?

Anyway, Anne herself would definitely not have looked for it as what this old man Gandalf said, "I went to search for it one by one, and it would be really stupid to do that! In comparison, it is more reliable to burn the forest directly to lure them out to put out the fire."
To be continued...
