Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Bumblebee had never seen such a strange thing as the amulet.

In her opinion, any gain or change in strength and physical condition was the result of innate conditions and acquired training. There was no such thing as pie falling from the sky. But now everything was overturned by the small stone in her hand, which inevitably made her a little dazed.

The corner of the Leg Eater's mouth curled up slightly, he smelled it.

Smell the desire and curiosity.

"It's beautiful, don't be jealous... Do you want it? If you really want it, then... give me more Geo, give me more Geo."

Bumblebee came to his senses, looked at the Leg-Eater who was rubbing his hands in the distance, then lowered his head and looked at the stone in his hand.

She really wanted it.

"What's this called?"

"I want to hear about the product. It seems like you can't wait to hand Geo over to me."

The Leg Eater completely ignored the half-eaten leg, groped forward with both hands, and walked excitedly towards the Bumblebee. The latter was about to stop him when he realized something was wrong.

"You are, a blind worm?"

Bumblebee took a few steps back, a confused look on his face.

"Don't try to fool me. My sense of smell for Geo is stronger than many bugs' vision."

The Leg Eater nodded nonchalantly, stopped five or six steps away from Bumblebee, and pulled out two more amulets from behind, which surprised the latter again: "You have more?"

"Of course, I think you should pay me for the introduction."

The two bugs sat down across the light, and Bumblebee, without hesitation, took out a silver Geo and threw it over, hitting the unsuspecting Leg-Eater on the head, startling him.

"Oh you little bastard...you're such a generous patron!"

The transition from curse to surprise in his voice was so smooth that he obviously smelled the scent of Gingio, which was far beyond his expectations.

He had never seen such a generous guest.

On the contrary, Bumblebee regretted it after a while, because the other party's answer was too simple. He just introduced the function of the stone and did not reveal anything else, such as the source of the principle. The total number of words was no more than twenty.

So she asked some more information about this type of stone, and fortunately the Leg-Eater did not hide anything about it.

After all, any traveler would be familiar with this thing, so it's worth exchanging it for a silver Geo.

"So the name of this stone is amulet."

Bumblebee's eyes sparkled as he took out a Jingio and handed it to the Leg Eater, and bought another amulet called 'Strength'.

As for the last one named 'Greed', she didn't need it, at least not now.

"You know, you're the first customer who can shut me up. I don't think my baby will regret being sold to you."

The Leg-Eater held Jingio high above his head, as if observing and admiring it with his eyes, his nostrils expanding from time to time and breathing heavily.

"Well, now that I've paid you Geo, bye."

Bumblebee stood up and brushed off the dust on his clothes. Leg-Eater did not respond and continued to "look at" Jingio in his hand.

When she was about to step out of the cave, a voice came from behind to remind her: "Be careful of my baby, it is very fragile."

"But since you are so generous, come back to me if it is damaged. I will give you a discount on the price of repairing it."

Bumblebee turned his head and looked back, only to find that the damaged material wrapped in light in front of the Leg-Eater was exactly the same as the outer material of the amulet in his hand.

......

The dust cleared, and the guards and Revik rushed to look at the place where the battle took place. The light had disappeared, and even the sound of the collision of bone nails did not sound again, as if the previous sound was the last.

"How's the battle going?"

The team member who was further back looked over and asked, but his teammates were all silent with ugly expressions.

Rivik's expression was dull, his slender body knelt weakly on the ground, his eyes full of grief.

They all saw that as a result of the collision, only one person was left standing proudly, but that figure was extremely unfamiliar to them.

Ida lost.

"alert!!!"

I don't know which guard shouted, but the footsteps suddenly became hurried. Most of the guards stood in an orderly manner, forming the enemy formation they used in daily training. Only one or two turned around and ran towards the palace.

No one expected that Ida would be defeated so quickly. There was not even time to take out the white stone and issue a warning. They did not have enough authority, so they had to rush back to the palace.

"Hold him!"

The moment the roar died down, the pink light exploded again, and it rushed towards them like a wild beast with its bloody mouth wide open, and the strong wind it brought made their robes rustle.

This scene would make even the guards terrified at first sight.

But no matter how scared they are, there are no cowards among the guards.

"on!"

Sharp bone nails came out at the same time, and silver threads rained down on Mo Rong who was rushing towards them, but unfortunately none of them hit him. It was not until the pink light flashed before their eyes that they realized that they had still underestimated Mo Rong's speed.

There were bursts of sonic booms, and the pink light didn't stop until it passed the guards who were running towards the palace.

Stopped in front of them.

"Damn it, let's fight him! Avenge the captain!"

Seeing that their teammates were out of touch and that they could never be faster than the invader in front of them, the two guards made up their minds to fight to the death and rushed towards Mo Rong.

It was a pity that before they even touched each other, they saw the afterimages of the nail blades flying around and knocking them back.

"say!"

The two guards climbed up, but before they took two steps, they were startled by Mo Rong's sudden roar.

He just pulled with his hands behind his back, and the whole insect of Ida was pulled in front of him, with a look of confusion, innocence, and a little grievance on his face.

"Say...what?"

Seeing Mo Rong's eyes wide open, Yida quickly raised his hand and shouted to the guards around him: "Stop! Stop! I'm fine!"

After these words were spoken, the guards were stunned, and only realized it after they were sure that their eyes were not blurry.

"The captain is fine! The captain is fine!"

"I was so scared, I thought the captain..."

"So the captain is now an adult, right?"

I don't know which guard said this, but the teammates, who had just relaxed a little because of Ida's situation, became tense again, looking at Mo Rong with hostility, with the bone nails pointing directly at him.

"Just tell me what you want! Don't hurt our captain!"

Mo Rong's face darkened, and he pulled Yida up again and hit him on the head.

"Asshole! Don't be so smart, he is my brother!"

"Captain, you are being threatened, right? If so, just blink!... Look! The captain is really being threatened!"

"...Hey?! You're being rebellious. Big brother, let me go. I want to have a good talk with them."

Ida rolled up his sleeves, gnashing with anger, and just as he was about to stand up, he was pushed down by the force coming from his shoulder.

"Big brother?"

Yida looked up and met Mo Rong's terrifyingly dark eyes. In his memory, there were rarely any emotional fluctuations in these eyes, but at this moment, they seemed to show murderous intent.

"Big...Brother?"

"Good boy, why are you still calling me big brother? Aren't your wings already hard enough, huh?"

"Call me brother-in-law!"
