Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Everyone was in an uproar after hearing this.

Since the new leader took office, countless Mantis warriors have been eager to obtain the Mark of Pride, which represents the recognition of the lord and the respect of a warrior tribe.

Year after year passed, there were people who challenged the lords every day, but none of them could pass the test. Who knew that it was just an outsider who not only broke into their selection, but also took away the crown they dreamed of.

The four lords flew back to the stone chairs, waiting for the next challenger, but the soldiers in the field could not care about the selection at this time.

There is a person in front of me who is strong enough to pass the test. Why don't you go up and ask for advice?

After the lord finished speaking, Mo Rong bowed again, endured the pain, and walked off the stage tremblingly.

As handsome as he was when fighting the four lords, Mo Rong looked so embarrassed when he was lying on Fast's body.

He removed the overloaded talisman on his body and frequently used bone nail skills and sprints, which put an excessive burden on his sensitive body. Once the fighting stopped, the fatigue and pain that had been suppressed in the body for a long time would slowly flow into his limbs. .

"Damn, why do I still feel these feelings when I have a puddle of liquid?"

Mo Rong, who was paralyzed on Fast's back, hummed softly and was very dissatisfied.

He had to suspect that his human soul was at work, otherwise how could he, a container, have these unnecessary feelings.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

Fast arched his back and almost fell to Mo Rong.

"Don't move, let me rest."

Mo Rong patted Fast and signaled it to be quiet, and Fast stopped moving and quietly carried Mo Rong.

It doesn't know what to do now. It's surrounded by the mantis warriors on the sidelines. They all look at the ink on its back with dazzling eyes, as if they want to peel him off to explore its structure.

"Brother, could you please share your experience in fighting the lord?"

"Can you sign your name for me, brother? Carve it on my paw. Please, brother."

"Brother, can you accept me as your disciple? I am very enlightened."

Fast did not expect that the cold and fierce warriors outside were so crazy, and some warriors even came up to pull the ink on its back, looking excited like a fool.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I brought this big brother here. Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis, okay?"

The mantis young man who had just been squeezed out by the crowd squeezed in again, flapping his wings to drive away the people who gathered around him, and shouted dissatisfiedly.

In fact, Mo Rong wanted to decline this enthusiasm, but now he felt tired from talking. He just wanted to slump on his back without moving, and his eyelids slowly drooped.

The poor mantis young man, although he mustered up the courage to scold everyone, no one paid him any attention. He still did his own thing. He had no choice but to say that he was not good at fighting.

It wasn't until the lords spoke that everyone reluctantly left Mo Rong.

"You go find an empty guest room and accommodate these two guests."

The lord spoke to the mantis young man, surprising him.

"As ordered!"

......

"Pain Pain!"

Mo Rong stood up slowly. Although he had no muscles in his body, he was still sore for no reason.

"Brother, are you awake? Drink some water."

The mantis young man on the side saw Mo Rong sitting up, quickly flew over with a glass of water and put it aside, looking at him with wide eyes.

Looking at the simple environment around him, Mo Rong asked the young man:

"Am I here?"

"Oh! The lord asked me to arrange a guest room for you. You can rest assured and rest. By the way, brother, how are you feeling now?"

"Me? I'm fine, just a little sore."

"Brother, can I ask you a question?"

The mantis young man couldn't wait to speak, and his wings flapped rapidly.

Idle time was idle, and this little brother also helped them a lot. He answered some questions without making any mistakes. Mo Rong motioned to the mantis young man to continue talking.

"Thank you, brother. I just want to ask, how did you dodge the blow when the lord stabbed you from above?"

"No need to ask, just sprint out of the way."

"But I heard them say that's not the case. They said you rushed from the air to the ground to avoid it."

Morong understood that the mantis young man was asking about the time when he thought he was in a desperate situation.

"Oh~, you are asking about that time. How should I explain this to you? Let me think about it..."

In the game, the bone nail skill of whirlwind chopping can actually make people fall down quickly. This is also a skill that Mo Rong learned while playing speed-passing videos.

As long as you stop the moment you use the whirlwind chop and lower your body's center of gravity, you can use the power of the spin to land quickly.

In the battle just now, Mo Rong had to use this method to try to escape in desperation. In fact, he was not 100% sure of success, so he also used the Howling Ghost to help.

"Have you seen me use the spinning attack technique before?"

"I saw it! It looks like the spike thrown by our lord!"

"Yes, the two should have the same purpose. At that time, I relied on the power brought by the spin to land faster than your lord, thus avoiding the attack."

"Oh~~~, I didn't understand."

"..."

"Haha, I'm not very smart, so I can't understand it, but don't worry, brother, I've memorized your words. When I challenge the lord, I will definitely be as good as you, brother!"

"Oh? Really? Then we'll see."

The sudden sound outside the door startled the mantis young man.

I saw a lord standing at the door of the guest room, looking at the two people who were talking.

"Lord...Lord!"

"Okay, you go out first. I have something I want to talk to this guy about."

"Yes!"

The mantis young man hurriedly flew out of the guest room, but the lord's aura was still as scary as ever.

"Lord."

Upon seeing this, Mo Rong quickly got out of bed and saluted, but was pushed back by the lord.

"You don't have to be so polite. I know you're not feeling well right now. Just sit there."

"Thank you for your understanding, lord. May I ask why the lord came?"

"Nothing, I just came over to see how you are recovering."

"Haha, my health is okay, I'm just a little tired at the moment."

Mo Rong chuckled, but seeing the lord's hesitant expression, he knew that the purpose of coming here was not just to care.

"Lord, do you really have nothing else to ask me?"

"Oh, you still noticed it. Actually, I want to ask you something."

"Um, is it about how I avoid your offensive?"

"So, but it's not about your own skills."

The lord straightened his body, sat aside, looked at Mo Rong and said:

"I want to know, how did you get into that state?"

Mo Rong looked back at the lord in confusion.

"At the beginning of your battle with the four of us sisters, the aura exuding from you was not weak. Although you climbed up during the battle with us, in the final analysis it could not support your escape from that almost certain attack."

"And since then, you have been enlightened. Our moves can no longer threaten you in the slightest."

"I can feel that the moment I stabbed you, something appeared on you, or in other words, you suddenly no longer looked like you then."

The lord said calmly, his eyes became sharper, and he looked at the cloak behind Mo Rong.

"I heard the eldest sister say that you were not sent by that person. The eldest sister has a good eye for recognizing people."

"But the eldest sister seems to have forgotten the previous battle. Little brother, you are from the Moth tribe."

Morong was confused when he heard this. He was not from the moth tribe, but he was not in a hurry to refute and wanted to continue listening.

"That person's aura is completely different from yours, and he is much stronger than you. Even the four of us sisters didn't hurt him at all even with all our strength."

The lord's eyes were filled with memories, and for a moment that Mo Rong didn't notice, there was a flash of fear.

"Not only that, we can't last long in his hands. Fortunately, he seems to be just a person who heard about our tribe's reputation for being good at fighting and came here looking for a challenge."

"Just like you are today."

"If you two have similarities, except for the moth wings behind you, it's the aura I just mentioned about the second half of your life."

"So, you still refuse to tell the truth?"

The aura around the lord became chilling, and the room became so dull that people couldn't breathe.

Morong quickly explained that although he didn't know who the lord was talking about, he must have misunderstood him.

"Lord, please wait. I think the lord has misunderstood."

As he spoke, Mo Rong took off the moth-wing cloak behind him and handed it to the lord.

"Please see, I am not from the Moth Clan. This cloak was just a gift from a friend of my Moth Clan."

Seeing this, the lord's eyes gradually softened. She had never heard of a moth that could remove its wings at will.

After a cursory glance, he returned the cloak to Mo Rong.

"So, that state is..."

"Lord, you don't have to be suspicious. It's entirely because the four lords are really strong, and I'm tired of dealing with them, so I accidentally forced them into that state."

After hearing this, the lord stopped pressing forward, his eyes were sharp and relieved, but he seemed to still have some regrets.

"I hope you don't mind your intrusion, little brother. I'm just fulfilling my responsibilities as the leader of the clan."

"I don't dare. I am lucky enough to receive Lord's Mantis Claw and Mark of Pride during this visit."

"There is no need to be self-effacing. You are quite powerful, and I think you are still young. As time goes by, you will definitely surpass us and become a more powerful being."

The lord waved his hand, stood up and walked out of the house.

Mo Rong looked at the lord's leaving figure and couldn't help but wander away from the world.

Have the Four Lords ever been defeated by the Moth Clan?

Apart from him, Mo Rong could not think of anyone else in the Moth clan who could possess strength that even the lord could not defeat.
