Hollow Knight: Hallownest

In ancient times, before Hallownest was established, there were two major tribes that believed in the void and radiation, which Morong knew.

And he also learned from Wu Ma that void matter can enhance strength, and it can be widely used on bugs that believe in void.

So is it possible that dream liquid is equivalent to another void substance?

Insects that believed in radiation in ancient times relied on dream liquid to enhance their strength. But if this statement is true, then why can't the moth tribe feel something similar to that of Aspide? A breath.

Morong thought as he walked outside. As soon as he went out, he was stopped by the guard who had advised him before.

"what happened?"

Mo Rong looked at the guard in front of him. The expression on his face was not as cold as before. Instead, he looked at him expectantly.

"You, your name is Mo Rong, right?"

"Uh, yeah, what's wrong?"

"Are you the Mo Rong from the team guarding the selection competition this time?"

"The one who sprays white mist from his mouth."

As the guard spoke, he opened his mouth and made movements, making Mo Rong dumbfounded.

"Yes, I think you are talking about me."

The guard patted his head and said with fear:

"It's all my fault for being blind. I didn't recognize you and bumped into you just now. Please forgive me!"

As he spoke, he bowed down.

When his partner told him that the captain of this championship team was named Murong, he was pounding in his heart. Although he didn't understand why Murong didn't become a palace guard, it was not something he could afford to offend. After all, The champion of every term is a very popular being in Hallownest, and there is no guarantee that he will become his immediate boss one day.

Seeing the guard carefully apologizing to him, Mo Rong waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I don't take this matter to heart. After all, this is your responsibility."

"Yes, yes, you are indeed a champion. You have great spirit. Can I shake your hand? To show my respect."

Mo Rong didn't refuse, he stretched out his hand to shake the guard's hand, then turned and left.

The thing about the dream liquid just now was still bothering him. Why didn't the moth tribe have that kind of aura? Is it because they were born in the radiant light and were the 'legitimate children' of the light?

With his hands still warm, Mo Rong looked down and suddenly had an idea.

Yes, it would make sense if the 'container' in the game could also be regarded as the 'direct son' of the void.

Once it is infiltrated by void matter, it will have to bear the negative effects it brings. Depending on the degree of use, the degree of erosion of the mind will also be different, eventually leading to death.

But if you are a 'container', you don't have to worry about these, because they are themselves made of void matter, and there will be no change even if they are soaked in void matter again.

The dream liquid is also very similar. Most of the bugs infiltrated by it lose their minds, but they also gain strength.

The moth tribe was born under the light, and the power of dreams is far superior to others. If it is soaked in dream liquid again, it will have no effect.

As for why they don't look like orange liquid, maybe it's because the radiation is more tasteful, and I thought about it when I pinched the insects.

In this way, Aspidus and the snail shaman actually belong to the ancient relics, but they soaked the dream liquid and used it as a weapon.

Thinking of this, Mo Rong couldn't help but sigh at his intelligence, and his steps became much brisker.

......

"I said you have really strong wings, you dare to sneak out without the teacher's permission."

Kui Ruo covered his head and said aggrievedly:

"Didn't I leave a letter for you, teacher?"

"Hey, you also know that you left me a letter. Otherwise, do I have to ask you personally, Champion Quiro?"

Monomon struck Quiruo's head again. Although his voice was annoyed, he was not angry with Quiruo, but only punished him slightly.

"That's not to prove my strength to you, teacher. Besides, if I ask you, I may not be able to..."

Quiruo muttered after her. When he saw Monomen in front of him, he stopped. He thought he was about to be beaten again, so he quickly stopped his voice and covered his head.

"You leave first, and I will settle the score with you later."

Monomon waved his tentacles at him, and Quirrel obediently turned around and left.

This is actually normal. His teacher will eventually be interrupted by some sudden thoughts, and he should be asked to leave to do new experiments.

Monomen turned the door handle in front of him and saw King Bai sitting there on the chair in front of the table in the archives room.

"See your Majesty!"

Monomen hurriedly leaned down and saluted.

"How is your life lately, Aiqing?"

"Thanks to the king's kindness, I am still conducting various research in the canyon, which is quite relaxing."

"You have been in this archives all day long, devoting your efforts to our Hallownest, and writing hymns for the people to sing. This makes me admire you very much."

"The king's words make Wei Chen feel frightened. As a member of Hallownest, the king promoted Wei Chen and gave him such rich resources. It is difficult to repay such a great favor. Wei Chen should give everything for Hallownest."

"Okay! If everyone in Hallownest is as enlightened as you, why worry about my Hallownest not being happy?!"

King Bai lifted Monomeng up from the ground, reached out and gently brushed the dust off his clothes, the admiration in his eyes undisguised.

"May I ask if the king is coming this time, does he need some ministers to share his worries?"

"Did you hear about the riots in the main city a while ago?"

"Wei Chen's disciples once talked to Wei Chen, but weren't they calmed down by the king?"

King Bai shook his head, then took out a jar and placed it on the table.

"That's the kind of thing that caused that commotion. Can you see what it is?"

Monomen walked to the jar and looked at it for a while, then stretched out a few tentacles to feel it for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Wei Chen can only sense the energy contained in it, but he doesn't know what it is. Please clarify my confusion, Your Majesty."

King Bai shook his head.

"I don't know much about this thing. I only know that it comes from an ancient god in this land. Once it is contaminated, bad instincts will be aroused and the mind will be lost."

"The king is saying that the riots in the city are caused by it."

"That's right, and it's much less than what you see now."

Monomon's brows also frowned. Just a small amount could cause a large-scale riot. If it infected the entire Hallownest, the consequences would be disastrous.

"So the purpose of this king's coming here is to let you study this object and see if there is a way to crack it."

"We must do our best to share the King's worries!"

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. If you have any difficulties, just write to me."

After saying that, King Bai slowly disappeared into the archives.

......

Mo Rong looked at the black statue in front of him, a little disbelieving, rubbed his eyes and looked again.

Soul totem!

After just walking out of Aspid's lair, Mo Rong headed towards another question mark area and found that it was not far from the larvae's home.

When I walked up to it, I realized that this place had actually been carved out by someone else.

There was an arched door on an originally flat wall, which looked unusually abrupt. Walking in, the surrounding stone walls were different from the buildings outside, and Mo Rong felt as if he had returned to ancient times.

Underfoot and in the wall, there are corpses of unknown insects buried everywhere, but it is undeniable that they are absolutely huge, with one spine almost as tall as him, and some of the remains have very familiar faces, much like Sanye in the book Insect-like appearance.

Are the bugs that once lived here, or rather the bugs that once lived in this land, so huge?

Then Mo Rong discovered a black statue not far away, like a standing beetle, standing on the floor.

Mo Rong took out the bone nail and tried to chop it at it.

Sure enough, the soul totem emitted a lot of white light particles the moment it was hit, and then actively poured into Mo Rong's body.

"Comfortable~"

I had already emptied my body when I was in Aspide's lair. I didn't expect that it would be replenished again now, but the amount should be relatively small.

As he walked forward again, the road began to become uneven, and there were even many spikes popping up in some places, so Mo Rong had to move forward carefully.

"Ding-deng-deng..."

After walking for a while, Mo Rong suddenly felt the floor beneath his feet shaking, and the stones on the road began to tremble.

"Ding-deng-deng..."

As he walked further in, a sound like something sharp being inserted into the ground came to Mo Rong. The surrounding stone walls began to become more and more ancient, and were almost all composed of corpses.

"Hi~What the hell!"

Mo Rong's head was suddenly hit by a hard object falling from the sky, but when he looked up, he saw nothing. It wasn't until he lowered his head that he realized that the thing that hit him just now was actually a Geo.

"Gio? Could it be..."

Mo Rong began to look around for a way to go up. Fortunately, there was a way, but there were spikes all the way to the other side. He couldn't jump over it, but it was easy for him. He took out the bone The nail was driven all the way down.

"Damn it! It's really a Geo mine! It's still such a big lump!"

Sure enough, as he thought, what fell from the sky was the Geo mine that was shaken by the movement just now. It felt comfortable now. No wonder some people like to be explorers. They picked up Geo while walking.

"Ding-deng-deng..."

The ground under his feet was still trembling, which made Mo Rong a little confused. What is underneath?

Mo Rong continued walking down with curiosity. On the way, Mo Rong also encountered a larger soul totem, but now he wanted to know what caused such a big commotion below.

As the sound became clearer and clearer, Mo Rong's steps became more and more cautious. Finally, after turning a corner, he saw the source of the sound clearly.

Mauric, countless Maurics!
