Hollow Knight: Hallownest
Chapter 289 Dark Place
Yida hurried to the elevator leading to the main city, and followed the last faint message sent by Mo Rong's white stone before it completely disappeared, searching all the streets of the city.
At one point the scene was like someone holding a metal detector on the beach, searching for coins left behind by others one by one.
Finally, at the manhole cover at the bottom of a spire, the light emitted by Bai Shi became a little brighter. Seeing this, he did not hesitate, lifted the manhole cover and jumped in.
As the distance got closer, Bai Shi's detection became more sensitive. In addition, there were not many accessible roads in the royal sewers, so he quickly found the location of the garbage pit.
"He...why is he here?"
Ida looked doubtful. Not only was the environment in this place dirty and messy, it was filled with urban garbage and even rarely seen living creatures. Whether one wanted to gain experience or to hunt for treasure, one should not set foot in this place.
What made him even more incredible was that the light of the white stone had almost reached its peak, which meant that the last place where Mo Rong's white stone was before it disappeared was in this garbage pit.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, walked onto the corridor and ran towards the garbage pit like flying. The rotten and sour smell kept rushing into his nostrils, making him frown.
"Could it be that he accidentally lost the white stone, and then was transported to this place by the cleaning bugs..."
He searched around with complicated thoughts. The environment of the garbage pit inevitably gave rise to such thoughts in his mind, but when he thought about the hardness of the white stone that even he could not easily break it, this guess was immediately rejected.
The garbage here was piled up like a mountain. Although Shiraishi had told him the approximate location, there were too many obstacles in the vertical direction. Ida searched for a long time and got covered in a stink. He didn't know the truth and thought it was some stray bug in the city who accidentally broke into this place.
Fortunately, his hard work paid off. He picked up a grain of crystal dust from the surface of a shabby box and held it up to his eyes to observe. Within a moment, he was sure that this grain of crystal dust came from the white stone of Mo Rong.
Then, many grains of crystal dust appeared in his field of vision one after another, and their distribution changed from scattered to concentrated. Finally, his footsteps stopped in front of a pile of white dust that still had afterglow, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Obviously, there is no high-pressure device nearby that can destroy the white stone to this extent, turning it from a block into a uniform powder. Even his master does not have such power. If it were Knight Hegmer, it might be possible, but the latter would never do such a disrespectful act towards the White King.
Who could that be?
Ida's Adam's apple rolled and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time until he heard a heavy breathing sound.
"who is it?!"
The moment the sound reached Ida's ears, he was like a frightened bird. He quickly pulled out the bone nail and retreated dozens of steps away, his eyes full of fear.
He was just imagining the powerful enemy who destroyed Bai Shi, and thought that the breathing sound came from the instigator.
"Hmm..."
This time it was a muffled groan with effort. Ida looked towards the source of the sound, his mind and body tense at all times so that he could react more quickly if he encountered anything wrong.
Not far from the pile of crystal dust he had just discovered, a bloated and huge insect wearing a dusty golden crown and golden armor was lying on the ground on its side, trying hard to turn its body over, but after groaning for a long time, it failed to achieve its goal. Reluctantly, it lay on its back on the ground and turned its attention to the new intruder who had broken into the garbage dump.
"Reptile, why are you standing by and watching from afar? This is really disrespectful to us."
Ida understood a little bit, what that guy meant should be——
"What are you looking at? Come over and give me a hand."
He frowned and looked at the giant God Seeker without making any move. He said in a cold voice: "Who are you, why are you here, and..."
He tightened the bone nail in his hand.
"Where's my brother?"
The body of the Godseeker was one of the largest he had ever seen, so he was not sure what kind of power it contained, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy.
As far as she could see within the area, she was the only one who could crush the white stone to this extent.
The giant Godseeker looked at Ida and spoke again:
"Reptile, we don't understand what you are talking about. If you show your sincerity, we will respond."
You still have to help her yourself.
Ida frowned even deeper. He didn't know if the huge guy was showing weakness to deceive him, but when he recalled her failed attempt to turn over just now, it didn't seem like a fake.
Besides, it was she who made the sound first to attract his attention. Jing Chen was not far away from her. If she really wanted to do something wrong, she could do it when he focused his attention on Jing Chen.
After thinking it over again and again, Ida decided not to refuse her request. He carefully moved to the side of the giant Godseeker. Seeing that the latter did not move, he freed up a hand to help her turn over.
"Okay, now you can answer my question, where did you take my brother?"
The God Seeker let out a long sigh, his eyes a little confused.
"Reptile, how do we know where your relatives are going?"
Ida was stunned and his expression suddenly turned gloomy.
Am I being fooled?
"If you present his portrait to us, we can still search for it in the sea of memory."
The unfinished second half of the sentence made him suppress his anger temporarily. He pointed his finger at the pile of crystal dust on the ground and asked, "Did you make that powder?"
"Once our strong bodies recover, we will probably be able to do it, but that is not our masterpiece."
Not her?
"Have you seen its owner? He is a..."
He briefly described Mo Rong's appearance and clothing, but before he could finish, the giant God Seeker gave his affirmation.
"Of course, we have seen its majestic figure, which is far beyond the reach of a reptile..."
Her eyes were filled with reverence, like that of a devout believer, and she did not dare to speak lightly.
After hearing this, Yida breathed a sigh of relief. According to her, Mo Rong was fine now and his life was not in danger as she had imagined.
But why crush the white stone?
"Where did he go?"
The huge Godseeker heard the words in a muffled voice.
"A dark place."
......
After listening to the will of the God Seeker and entrusting it to the altar, Mo Rong felt as if he had fallen off a cliff and was filled with a sense of weightlessness. This feeling lasted for dozens of breaths before it suddenly disappeared, and he felt a sense of solidity under his feet.
"This...where is this?"
He kept turning his head to look around. The environment here was dark and cold, filled with an indescribable atmosphere.
Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came from above, and two familiar figures landed on either side of him, opening and closing their sharp beaks and whistling loudly.
Mo Rong narrowed his eyes, and when he realized what it was, alarm bells suddenly went off in his mind.
Vengeful Fly Lord.
The reason why I couldn't see them at first glance was because they were only covered with a layer of black gauze, so I could still see their appearance clearly. But now, only their outlines were left, and their bodies were completely wrapped in darkness, revealing only a pair of manic eyes.
Mo Rong felt a chill all over his body, and a guess came to his mind -
Their bodies wouldn't be the same as mine...
