Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Mo Rong was sitting on the shore of the black lake, with his feet soaked in the water. He looked at him reflected in the lake through the light of the lighthouse. Although the darkness of the black lake seemed to be able to swallow up all the light, it still could not cover him. Twinkling eyes.

The outrageous idea that came to mind on the way down from the lighthouse just now, Mo Rong seemed to have thought of a point of view that could support it on the way, although it was a bit reluctant.

In the stone egg dream, he clearly saw that the giant beast "Black Worm" was composed of containers, and its appearance was very similar to the White King's body. Even the stone egg hidden in the body was reshaped. Carved out.

So can we think that this is the power of the White King in the container? By some mistake, the containers gathered together to form not other monsters, but the White King's predecessor. So, can we also think that the characteristics of Black Worm are the epitome of the White King's predecessor?

Mo Rong thought of the elegant figure standing in the center of the stage, Captain Green.

In the game, once the player attacks it to a certain extent, Captain Green's body will dissipate into many bat-like creatures flying in the air, and then condense together soon after to become Captain Green again.

Does the White King also have this characteristic?

After the Black Worm is scattered, it will turn into a container soul all over the place. I think the same is true for the six-winged flying insects. However, as a high-level creature, the White King may not recycle these creatures separated from the body. He won't be affected too much either.

Mo Rong stood up and stood on the shore of the black lake. He no longer thought about the relationship between the two and looked far away to the other side of the black lake. It was peaceful and there would be no waves. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, , who would have thought that a giant beast that could threaten Hallownest was once born in this lake?

Pink crystals appeared behind Mo Rong one by one, and with an explosion, the black lake splashed with waves for the first time in a long time.

"It's time to get the Shadow Cloak."

The muttering soon disappeared above the black lake, and Mo Rong also arrived on the other side of the black lake not long after. There is nothing special here. It is also the land that has been soaked in void matter, and there are also people interspersed on the road from time to time. of black pool.

Without the light of the lighthouse, the surroundings became pitch black again, but fortunately there was nothing that could threaten Mo Rong in the abyss, so he groped forward in the direction. After a while, he saw a beam of light shooting from above. A pillar of light appeared, and when the light appeared, Mo Rong knew that he was about to reach his destination.

Just like going to the Wailing Stone Sculpture, the road was narrow at first, and then suddenly became broad, and in front of Mo Rong's eyes was a giant insect comparable in size to the golem he had seen on the Crystal Mountain Peak.

Its two slender forelimbs are holding a bowl-shaped object, and the other limbs are hanging feebly on the ground. The mask on its head is very similar to Mo Rong. It is presumably made by the same person, but it is much larger. , the hole in the mask looks directly at the thing being lifted by its forelimbs, as if it is more important than its life.

Mo Rong jumped up, and with the help of the giant insect's body, he fell into the bowl-shaped object it held up. What was contained in it was actually a steady stream of void matter pouring out from nowhere.

"Sigh~"

Hearing only a clang, Mo Rong felt as if he was integrated with the void material in the bowl at this moment, and his mask was also immersed in it, dyed ink black. It was also a very wonderful feeling, but it was different from the howling. The transformation of the ghost into the scream of the abyss is different. If you compare it to simply nourishing the body, it is now more like the bone-washing and marrow removal in fairy novels.

The abyss material in the bowl was steaming, washing Mo Rong's body over and over again. After two or three rounds, it finally calmed down. At this moment, all the void matter contaminated by his mask and his body was stripped away and flowed back into the bowl. In the bowl, I don’t know where it is going.

Mo Rong stood up happily and jumped down. He looked at the cloak behind him. It looked ordinary at first, but now it was faintly glowing with black light. And at the moment he launched his sprint, those black lights suddenly enveloped him. They covered Mo Rong's whole body, and when they dispersed again, Mo Rong was already five steps away.

"The distance is also longer. It's really a good thing."

He could no longer suppress the raised corners of his mouth. Now that he has the Shadow Cloak, Mo Rong is no longer afraid of being helpless in a critical moment. The biggest difference between the Shadow Cloak and the Moth Wing Cloak is that it allows the user to be at a disadvantage during the sprint. Invincibility, this is crucial.

Although he needed to recharge, Mo Rong shrugged and watched the black particles floating around him slowly condense on the moth-wing cloak. He didn't pay too much attention to it. He would be surprised if he didn't need to recharge, because then he would I feel like I can even touch King Bai.

Looking at the way he came, Mo Rong thought for a moment. The abyss was a small place or a big one. He had almost everything he needed to take and see, so it was time to leave now.

But just when Mo Rong took a step, his legs suddenly paused and he looked back at the giant insect holding the bowl.

"I almost forgot about you."

The dream whisper of this giant insect can reveal the nature of the little knight in the game. I wonder what the reaction will be after I attack it?

Thinking like this, the spell immediately blurted out, and the light of the Dream Nail illuminated the entire space in an instant, and then Mo Rong drew it up.

"......Um?"

After waiting for a long time, Mo Rong didn't wait for the giant insect's dream language to appear in his heart.

"I'll go. Is the Dream Nail broken?"

Subconsciously, he shook his hand and pulled out the Dream Nail again, but the result was still the same.

"Forget it, maybe it's because I'm not a container..."

Mo Rong didn't bother with the dream words of this giant insect. After all, it was up to people to make things happen, and it was up to God to make things happen. If he could tell him his destiny, it would be just the icing on the cake. How he would go in the future still had to be decided by himself. will come.

Looking back, Mo Rong was concerned about other things. He still didn't understand why King Bai wanted to punish him and sent him to the abyss. Although he would come to this place sooner or later, he still needed the King's Mark to come. Open it up. If you want to come in openly, you don't know how many years and months you have to wait.

Could it be that King Bai...has a crush on him?

Mo Rong felt a chill, crossed his hands and rubbed his shoulders, then slapped himself twice. Why couldn't he control his active brain?

Just as Mo Rong was about to leave, the light that appeared in the gap reminded him that he had not been to the place above. Mo Rong thought for a while, since he had already come here, he would not miss this place in time. , and then used the mantis claws to board the source of the light and disappeared in front of the giant insect.

He failed to notice that the giant insect did not react at all. When Mo Rong's Dream Nail hit the giant insect, its mask seemed to be slightly lowered...

After walking dozens of steps, something like a water column stopped in front of Mo Rong.

"Shadow Pillar?"

He was not unfamiliar with this thing. If he remembered correctly, there were two of them in the Queen's Garden and Kingdom's Edge. The former was supposed to protect the safety of the White Lady. As for the latter, Mo Rong remembered the mountain in Crystal Peak a long time ago. The Marcos I encountered in the game should have been trapped by that thing and finally fell to the edge of the kingdom.
