Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Layers of flesh, a mouthpart with multiple teeth on the top, eight sharp legs and two sickle-like hands in the middle, and an orange gastric juice ball in the center of the body, isn't this Maurik?

Morong never thought that there would be such a large space in the wall built at the crossroad, which could accommodate the endless Maurik.

"How can this be done?"

The scene in front of him made Mo Rong really lack the courage to go in. Who knew if those Mauriq would suddenly attack him?

Just as he was about to leave, Mo Rong heard a slight sob.

"Who...who will save me? I...I'm so scared..."

Mauric can't speak, so this voice... could it be another explorer?

Mo Rong carefully looked inside, trying to find the source of the sound, but couldn't find it for a moment. He walked around and found that there was a small stag beetle lying under a stone wall inside, shivering. .

"Let me go, where did this stag beetle come from?"

Mo Rong was confused the moment he saw it. After all, this place was so hidden and he only found it with the help of a map. How did the little guy find it?

Looking carefully again, there was something slightly luminous lying tightly under the body of the little stag beetle.

"The thing under that guy's feet couldn't be a mask..."

It was nerve-wracking. This time, Mo Rong had no choice but to pretend he hadn't seen it. If it was really a mask, he would have to try it no matter what.

Mo Rong picked up the bone nail and tentatively walked forward. His steps were very light, trying not to disturb Maurik.

When he passed through the first Mauric, Mo Rong didn't dare to relax at all, just thinking it was luck.

But when he passed through Maurik again and again, he seemed to find that these Maurik would not attack him. On the contrary, sometimes when he encountered no way out, the Maurik in front seemed to know his situation and actually gave way to him. There is a way out.

"What's going on? How come you're not aggressive at all?"

Mo Rong still didn't dare to let down his guard. Logically speaking, the orange gastric juice balls on their bodies were obvious signs of infection to him, but their behavior was completely opposite.

But this is not a good thing. Mo Rong hurriedly walked to the little antler insect and tried to pick it up, but after picking it up, he couldn't see anything.

Only then did Mo Rong realize that the little stag beetle was about the same size as him. He was careless.

"You...who are you? You are here to save..."

The little antler insect looked at the figures in front of him that were incompatible with the surroundings, and said cautiously, but just halfway through his words, Mo Rong covered his mouth.

"Shh~, please be quiet. You follow me and I will take you out. Do you understand?"

The little deer-horned insect looked at him with big eyes, nodded, stood up and put on the mask.

"Don't wear your mask. If you are discovered, we may not be able to take it off."

"But..."

"Stop it, give it to me and I'll throw it away for you, otherwise I won't take you out."

"Ok."

Saying that, the little antler insect handed the mask to Mo Rong, and Mo Rong made a gesture and stuffed the mask into the Mauric group, actually putting it in his arms.

Hehe, children's things are easy to deceive.

"Follow me."

The moment Mo Rong stuffed the mask into his body, the Maurics suddenly became restless and rushed towards Mo Rong.

"Fuck, run!"

I don't know if it was because of the mask, but Mo Rong couldn't think so much anymore. He picked up one of the little deer horned insects' legs and ran towards the depths.

The way in was blocked, but he remembered that there was an exit.

"puff!"

There was a sound of spitting, and Mo Rong looked back. He was almost frightened. This battle was no less than when he was in Aspide's lair, so he quickly activated his moth-wing cloak.

"Hurry up!"

Before the little stag beetle could react, his body was pulled forward by a sudden force. However, the range of Mauric's venom spit was too wide, and some of it still stuck to the two of them.

"Ah! It hurts!"

The wailing sound of the little antler bug came from behind, but Mo Rong had no time to pay attention to it. He couldn't stop even a step now, otherwise when the group of Maurik behind him spewed venom again, they would be buried here.

The stone wall in the distance was getting closer and closer, but Mo Rong couldn't see where the exit was.

"There won't be any exit, it's over, it's over!"

Mo Rong was already sweating profusely. When the two of them actually came to the stone wall, Mo Rong realized that there was really no exit.

When he turned around and saw the Maurik group rushing towards them, he couldn't help but have the will to die in his eyes.

"Little guy, if you fight them, you might be able to find a way out."

Although it may be a heavenly road.

Just when Murong pulled out the bone nail and prepared to fight, the little stag beetle on the side ignored him and began to use its ungrown horn to dig into a part of the stone wall.

"Come and dig here, the walls in this place are very thin."

The little stag beetle that finally escaped from the Maurik group didn't want to go back to that kind of place again, so it dug even harder.

Seeing this, Mo Rong also began to accumulate strength. Now he could only believe in the little guy in front of him.

"Get out of the way!"

As he spoke, he pushed the little stag insect aside.

Powerful chop!

"Oh!"

"puff!"

Sure enough, as it said, this place was relatively fragile, which opened a hole for Mo Rong.

The venom behind him was about to hit the two of them, and the situation was critical. Mo Rong kicked the little antler insect out of the hole, and then rolled out himself.

"Ouch~ What are you doing!"

Fortunately, the exit was not high from the ground, and Mo Rong was prepared to be thrown. After two muffled sounds, the two of them successfully escaped.

"Why are you kicking my ass!"

The little stag-horned insect turned over and looked at Mo Rong angrily. The kick caused more pain than the fall.

"You little guy repay kindness with revenge, right? Look at me trying to save you, look at it."

As he spoke, Mo Rong pulled the cloak behind him and showed the small stag beetle with great distress. There were several holes corroded by Maurik's venom.

But Mo Rong tried it immediately, and fortunately the effect was still there, otherwise this trip would have been a loss to grandma's house.

The little deer horned insect also felt a little guilty after seeing it, and apologized to Mo Rong in a low voice.

Mo Rong ignored it, but looked into its eyes, but he remembered that the liquid had also touched the little guy's body.

Seeing that the little guy's expression was normal and there was no abnormality, Mo Rong breathed a sigh of relief. The thing Maurik sprayed must have been just an ordinary corrosive liquid. It looked so similar to the dream liquid that it scared him to death.

"Come on, we are both out of danger. Let's go. I don't know how your parents can let you run out alone as a child."

After saying that, Mo Rong took out the map and walked towards the ancestral hill. The mission was completed and he felt much better.

After walking forward for a while, the footsteps were still heard behind him, and Mo Rong just thought that the little guy happened to be walking the same way as him.

Until it followed all the way to the foot of the ancestral hill.

Mo Rong turned his head to look at the little guy. Seeing this, the little deer horned insect quickly turned around and pretended to take a few steps forward. Mo Rong turned around and followed him again.

Mo Rong turned his head again, and the little deer horned insect turned around again, going back and forth three or four times, making him laugh.

"Little guy, stop wandering around. Tell me, why are you following me?"

Seeing that the matter was 'revealed', the little deer horned up his head and said:

"I'm not little anymore, don't call me little one!"

"Okay little guy, why are you following me?"

"You!... I can follow if I want. Do you care?"

When Mo Rong saw this, he smiled sadly:

"Are you sure you want to follow me? Do you know where this is? There is something scarier than before~"

The little guy was obviously still a little scared of the scene just now. After hearing this, he shrank back and then prayed to Mo Rong with pitiful eyes.

"Brother, please just take me with you..."

"No, why don't you go home?"

Mo Rong also had a headache when he saw this, why did he rely on him.

"The clan won't let me come out after I go back. I don't want to run the route..."

He finally understood that this little guy was just playing hooky. He couldn't help but laugh. Forget it, just take it with you if you see it like this. It's good to have more companions on your adventure.

"Then you have to promise me first, and you have to listen to me."

When the little deer horned insect heard that there was something going on, he nodded quickly, fearing that Mo Rong would regret it.

"My name is Mo Rong. I can't keep calling you little guy. What's your name?"

"Fast, my name is Fast, and I'm not young anymore."

Only a child could say these words. Mo Rong ignored him and asked him to follow her, and the two of them walked into the ancestral hill.

But as soon as he stepped here, Fast's body began to sway.

"Brother Morong, I, I feel like I'm a little..."

Before he finished speaking, Fast fell straight down.

Mo Rong hurriedly held it, and saw that some soul light particles slowly left the body of Fast...
