Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"Hey...wait...wait, that monster...that monster doesn't seem to be chasing us."

The pace of the fleeing army slowed down a lot at this time, not because of what the insect said, but mainly because the aftereffects of the short-term overdraft of physical strength had taken effect. All the insects were limping and had to rest after walking every two steps.

"It's true. The crashing sound is much smaller now."

"Is it because it went back to eat..."

No one knew who said this, but the insects remembered the hellish scene with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and they all shuddered.

"Didn't they say that guy had already died under the knight's hammer? How come another one popped up?"

"Who knows! I saw the body of that thing with my own eyes, there is no doubt about it."

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became eerily quiet.

At this point, even the dumbest bug would have realized that there were either more than one monster of that size, or it could grow from a small monster.

Compared to the former, the latter scares them more because it represents endless danger.

Dada... Dada...

The sound of sand and stones being dragged suddenly came from the darkness behind the insects, and it was particularly harsh.

"Yes, that guy caught up with us?!"

Most of the insects quickly got up from the ground and retreated hurriedly, but a few did not move, squinting their eyes and looking into the darkness.

"No, it's not that guy, otherwise the noise wouldn't be so small, it seems to be... our companion!"

When the insects saw their companion, whose body was covered with scars and whose hands were stained with blood, walking up to them, they were all shocked.

"You, you are not..."

"It's dead."

The insect that was previously rescued by the bumblebee had shining eyes and was in high spirits. His hands kept gesturing, and the fear that had previously been on his face could no longer be seen.

"That is a red knight with outstanding martial arts skills. Her moves are very powerful, like a full moon..."

......

Bumblebee did not pick up the Geo scattered on the ground. He just used his huge body to wipe the blood off the bone removal needle and left.

Her expression changed slightly, and there was more disappointment in her indifference.

The oppressive feeling this big guy brought to her was not even as strong as that brought by the Loyle Knight in training.

Not only is it extremely slow, its attack method is also mindless and single-minded. Its body, which has grown into a mountain of flesh, has almost no other function except to bring a slight sense of crisis visually.

Being her first battle after leaving the nest, it was really disappointing.

"Fortunately, I didn't waste too much time."

Bumblebee unfolded the map and looked at the newly drawn route on it - that was what she got from asking the local residents she had just rescued.

This route leads straight to the green without too many twists and turns. It looks much faster than the original route, but it is not as safe. Of course, the insect did not consider this at all when drawing it.

No matter how unsafe it is, can it be as unsafe as it was just now?

The bone needle shot out again, and Bumblebee's figure shuttled through the dark corridor, stepped over the stone suspended stairs, and arrived at the entrance of the green area in just half a day.

"A traveler of Hallownest, through verdant fields..."

The tall road signs and the endless green at the end of the stone bridge all reminded Bumblebee that the destination of this journey was almost reached.

Compared to the previous journey, she subconsciously slowed down her pace here for some reason.

Perhaps it was because she had never seen such a vibrant life before her, and compared to the Nest and the City of Tears, this place exuded an atmosphere that made her feel more relaxed and happy.

Everything looks so lively and smart.

She wished the environment of the nest could be like the scenery before her, no longer so lifeless.

"The area drawn by Mo Rong is in the southwest direction, and there are sentinels stationed there for patrol. It shouldn't be too difficult to find."

Thinking of meeting the Queen Aunt soon and being so close to fully implementing his plan, Bumblebee no longer appreciated the scenery along the way and ran faster towards the depths of green.

Flying over stone pillars with strange patterns, passing through dense and similar jungles, the Bumblebee finally -

be lost.

Only now did she realize that although the environment here was beautiful, it was actually a bit inconvenient.

The deeper the Bumblebee went, the harder it was to find the way, or perhaps there was no way at all - even if it found a place with traces of footsteps, as long as it took a few more steps forward, everything would be covered by branches and vines again.

The environment's restorative power is too strong.

"I should have left a mark first."

Bumblebee slapped his head in annoyance, looked at the scenery around him which was almost the same, and continued to move forward with gritted teeth.

At this point, all I can do is rely on my intuition.

After a while.

Listening to the rustling of the grass, the Bumblebee, who was still trapped in the jungle and didn't know where to go, couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

If things continue like this, if we're unlucky we might end up wasting all the time we've spent on the journey. If that's the case...

She pulled out the bone needle from behind her back, muttering to herself.

If I can't find the way now, I will use the bone needle to carve out a path!

Maybe the owner of this place heard Bumblebee's voice and couldn't bear to see her hurt her wings, so before she took a few steps, Bumblebee parted the bushes in front of her and saw a skinny figure not far away, sitting on a boulder with a bent back, looking down at something.

Seeing this, Bumblebee was delighted.

Finally she encountered the bugs here. If she could help point the way, she could definitely save a lot of time!

After thinking about it, Bumblebee hurriedly accelerated, fearing that he would lose the figure in front of him if he was not careful.

But when she got closer, she suddenly slowed down.

Do all the bugs here look so strange?

——This thought came to Bumblebee when he was five steps away from the figure on the boulder.

She had never seen a creature with such strange body proportions. At first glance, its body and limbs were just skin covering bones, but when she looked up, she was surprised to find that the spine was connected to an extremely large head.

If you keep your head down for such a long time, won’t your neck break?

Bumblebee shook her head, threw away those complaints and strange thoughts, and walked around to the front of the figure. Because the other person lowered his head, she could not see the whole picture. She could only vaguely see a circle of fangs hidden in the grass that seemed like a protective color.

"Hello, may I ask..."

Bumblebee took out the map, walked slowly forward, and spoke softly, trying not to scare the big guy who was obsessed with the stone in his hand.

One step, two steps... Just as Bumblebee stepped within five steps of the guy on the stone, the latter suddenly raised his head and opened three pairs of animal eyes.

In an instant, Bumblebee felt his whole body stiffen, his pupils trembled violently, and he retreated backwards as if fleeing. In a breath he retreated more than ten steps away. He raised his head to look at the figure sitting on the boulder who was staring at him, his eyes full of fear.

At that moment just now, she felt as if she was locked onto by a bloodthirsty and brutal beast. If her reaction was half a beat slower, she would probably be torn to pieces and killed on the spot.

Bumblebee pulled out the bone needle and lowered his body, his muscles tensed tightly, not daring to take his eyes off the boulder for a moment.

She had a premonition that she must not be careless in the face of this guy who regarded her as prey, otherwise -

She will die!
