Hollow Knight: Hallownest

The night is dark and windy.

Morong looked at the two teams of sentries in front of the gate and frowned.

Perhaps because of the shameful act last time, the Soul Sanctuary was much more tightly guarded this time. Not only were the sentries walking in front of him, but looking inside through the light, he could vaguely see countless people on the ground. reflection.

Mo Rong patiently lurked in the shadows, staring at the door of the Soul Sanctuary until the darkness outside the window gradually became brighter.

A night of observation did not ease his mood much.

He originally thought that there were already a lot of troops deployed at night, but as the time approached the next day, more sentries came out of the Soul Sanctuary. Until now, there were four teams of sentries patrolling in front of the gate. This formation, Something big must be happening today.

As for what it was, he knew it without even thinking about it.

"How's it going?"

Mo Rong ran all the way to the alley tavern. As soon as he opened the door, the hunter's words came to his ears. At this time, the hunter's eyes showed no signs of fatigue after a short rest. The brilliance that bloomed made Mo Rong feel that he had been excited all night. .

"Didn't you rest?"

"Remaining conscious at all times is one of the basic qualities of a hunter. You haven't answered my question yet."

Mo Rong shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not optimistic. The defense of the Soul Sanctuary is far beyond my imagination. It will definitely take a lot of time to break through."

"Any more time means more danger. Do you have any better ideas?"

The hunter slowly arched his body and stood up, and said calmly: "If it were me, a hunting of this level would require dozens of days of observation."

"Either you take advantage of a weak point, attack when it is unprepared, or make dangerous moves."

"That soul sanctuary you mentioned, are there any secret passages that are not known to anyone? Let's make a surprise attack."

Mo Rong shook his head. The big hole that was broken through the elevator last time must have been specially reinforced, and the spire where the Soul Sanctuary is located is not far from the Watcher's spire. It is impossible to climb out of the broken window from the outside of the tower. Tan.

"That's a pity. None of the three methods work, so we have to force our way through."

The hunter spread his hands, and there was a relaxed smile in his words, as if everything was in his hands.

"As of now, this is what we have to do."

Murong sighed. He wanted to wait and see what happened and think of more strategies to prevent the plan from failing. But he could wait, but Wu Si who was caught couldn't wait at all. Otherwise, the tragic situation of senior Wu Lie might happen again. On Wusi's body.

Squeak...

The proprietress opened the wooden door of the tavern, smiled and brought some breakfast to the two of them and put it on the table. She also said, "Breakfast, freshly cooked, eat while it's hot."

Mo Rong was not polite, picked up the bowl and started eating, but the hunter was indifferent and sat quietly.

"Hunter, you... don't want to eat?"

The landlady asked tentatively.

"Sorry, I never eat food given by others."

The landlady was not surprised by the hunter's rejection. She just sat back on the bar and prepared to welcome the new day's drinkers.

"Huh~, it's comfortable. Thank you very much, boss lady. I will definitely come back for your breakfast next time I have a chance."

"There are plenty of opportunities, I'm waiting for you to come."

The wooden door creaked, and the hunter followed behind Mo Rong. Two figures, one large and one small, turned out of the alley. The bustling noise on the street stopped around them, and they could not move forward at all.

"The plan officially begins."

......

"What do you think, Master? There are four of us crowded at the door, let alone anyone who can break in. Now I feel like the air has been blocked outside by us, making it difficult to breathe."

"Talk less. In the past few days, there are too many things to do. You may not be able to find this wonderful job even if you turn on the light outside."

"Speaking of which, we have to thank the intruder last time. Otherwise, why would this wonderful job be ours?"

"My right eyelid keeps twitching, and I always have a bad feeling."

"Tell me, is it possible that the intruder from last time will come again?"

Patrolling the gate of the Soul Sanctuary can usually be completed by a team of sentries, but now with four times the manpower, everyone felt less nervous and relaxed, whispering to relieve their boredom.

"Again? Didn't you listen to the sentries who were dismissed before?"

"The intruder almost died in their pursuit. Fortunately, he escaped because he ran fast. Anyway, I think he will definitely not come back."

"According to you, the intruder is weak? Then why was the sentry dismissed last time?"

"Who is this...uh!"

The sentry who was about to reply suddenly rolled his eyes and was about to faint on the ground. The expression of the other sentry chatting with him changed and he quickly stretched out his hand to support him, but the half of his body that was drooping also made this sober man The sentry clearly saw the short figure hiding behind him.

The sentry's eyes slowly widened. This look was exactly what a scholar showed them not long ago, and they should pay special attention to it.

"There was a break-in..."

Because of the fear, his body subconsciously shouted for him, but before he finished speaking, he fainted like the sentry in his hand.

thump......

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"There is an intruder! Line up quickly!"

At this time, the advantage of having a large number of people came to light. Mo Rong had made his movements as gentle as possible, but under the cross gaze, he was noticed by other sentries in less than three breaths, which also made him improvise a hidden plan. Failed.

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Mo Rong did not hold back any longer. He pulled out the bone nails and faced everyone's attack. Bone nail skills were endless. Although the sentries were outnumbered, they were beaten by Mo Rong alone. They even appeared. The comical phenomenon of chopping bone nails into his companions in a panic.

"Go and tell Master, the intruder from last time is here again, hurry!"

Some of the sentries soon realized that the enemy in front of them could no longer be defeated by simple numerical suppression. His skills brought both sides to the same level for a time.

No, they are even lower.

"Just pretend to be fainted, it'll be fine. You have to be beaten to feel comfortable."

A spherical white wave penetrated the sentry who wanted to escape and reported the news in a straight line, and also surprised the sentry next to him.

This intruder was more terrifying than they imagined.

The four teams of sentinels quickly collapsed in front of the gate of the Soul Sanctuary and piled up into a mountain of insects.

And when Mo Rong took a step further, four more teams of sentries stood in front of him. Although the soldiers were complex and diverse, they still ended up like the sentries outside, without any resistance.

"Tsk, I suggest you go to the Colosseum to practice. Your strength is really bad."

After Mo Rong finished speaking, he went straight to the room where Wu Lie had been imprisoned. Through the dim light around him, he vaguely saw a bound person above the instrument.

"Wusi, how are you?"

Mo Rong hurried to the instrument, but as the distance got closer, the face of the person bound by the instrument became clearer.

"You finally came."

Mo Rong's expression changed and he immediately flew back, because what he saw in front of him was not the short figure in the ancestral hill, but the noble body with contemptuous eyes and downward corners of the mouth.
