Hollow Knight: Hallownest

This time the journey was much closer. After a while, the three of them arrived at the entrance of a cave with a sign.

"Sir...sir, this is where you want to go."

Mo Rong squinted his eyes and looked at the man, and said coldly:

"You didn't lie to me? It couldn't be a trap or something else."

"I... how dare I, uncle! This... like this, I'll leave first, you can just follow me in and take a look."

Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Mo Rong, the miner hurried inside first, followed by Mo Rong. Not long after entering the cave, Mo Rong saw something familiar.

A huge six-legged insect body was hung in the air. The round body was very similar to the stone statue in Mo Rong's memory. There were several tables below, with some tools that seemed to be used to study the body. .

"Sir...Sir, do you believe me this time?"

The miner glanced at Mo Rong next to him, and saw that the terrifying aura gradually subsided, and slowly let out a breath.

"You performed well. I thought you would trick me into some secluded place and escape on your own."

"How could it be possible? Besides, uncle, with your martial arts skills, how can I dare to escape?"

"Okay, let's go."

After hearing this, the miner was overjoyed and turned around to run out.

"By the way, remember not to call me uncle in the next life. I still prefer to hear others call me handsome."

"So pretty..."

The miner tried hard to finish his words, but found that he could not make a sound, and then he seemed to lie down.

"Why is there a headless body there?"

There was no fear in the miner's eyes at the end, but full of doubts. Mo Rong picked the body to the side of the vast ore pit, and the light gradually obscured the outline of the body.

Fast looked at the calm Mo Rong on the side and took two steps back.

"Since when did you like killing people so much?"

Murong looked at a long bridge over the mine, which was built of wood, leading to the deeper parts of the mine, so he raised his feet and walked up.

"I have never liked killing people. Have you seen me kill anyone in all these days? There are only a handful of times. Well, those guys deserve it."

Fast followed step by step and looked at Mo Rong.

"Do you have such a sense of justice?"

"Nonsense, it's not like I can't beat him, but a few minions still want to steal my money? He's lucky that I didn't steal his money."

"..."

"If you encounter this kind of thing, just pay them obediently. After all, they have no fighting ability. Otherwise, offer to be their mount and knock them off when they are not paying attention."

"..."

"Why don't you speak? Do you not like to talk?"

"Why can't you see my face? Do you have no eyes?"

Mo Rong choked on these words and laughed twice to ease the embarrassment. After walking across a long wooden bridge, he finally saw the body emitting pink light.

It leaned against the wall with its six legs hanging sideways. In the impression that there should be no one around, there were now more than a dozen people watching.

Someone noticed Mo Rong's appearance and walked toward him with a frown.

"Hello, there is research going on here. Please stay away from anyone who is not involved."

"Research? What research?"

"No comment."

The researchers had no intention of responding to Mo Rong's questions, they just wanted to expel him.

Mo Rong was not annoyed. He took out some Geo and handed it to the researcher in front of him. He leaned close to his ear and said:

"Brother, I'm just here to visit, I won't disturb you."

The man pushed back Mo Rong's hand holding Gio and said angrily:

"Who do you think I am? Our research is very important. Not everyone can..."

Mo Rong took out another handful of Geo.

"It's not that we don't want you to see it, but it's hard for us to follow the orders given by the superiors..."

He took out another handful.

"It's not you. Alas, you can only watch."

The researcher quietly put the Gio handed over by Mo Rong into his pocket and walked back to the body.

"Who was that person who just spoke to you? The newly assigned researcher?"

"The employer's friend is here to visit, so we don't need to worry about him."

Upon hearing that it was his employer, the researcher on the side ignored Mo Rong and focused his attention on the body again.

Mo Rong glanced around for a few times and found that there was no chance to get close to the body, so he leaned closer to listen to what the researchers were saying.

"The age of this demon statue is almost the same as the one outside. They are both preserved from ancient times. But why does only this one have such special energy fluctuations?"

"That's right, but I saw that there is such a round hole in the center of the demon statue outside that looks like it stores energy. Could it be that it was also there, but disappeared for some reason?"

"What do you think the role of this golem is, and why are there such strong energy fluctuations in the body? Do they feed on the ores here?"

"Oh! You have a good point, I have to remember it."

A researcher walked to the simple table set up nearby, picked up a pen and wrote a little on the file, then returned to the body.

"Golem?"

When Mo Rong heard the name, he thought it was quite interesting, so he sneakily walked to the table and looked at the file.

There are many speculations about the body recorded on it. Some have similar identities as miners outside, the golem is an insect sent to mine ore in ancient times; some golems were injured in ancient battles and then took refuge here; others say The golem is a native insect that lives here on ore as food.

But it's all speculation, with no definite evidence.

"Why don't you try to contact or absorb that energy?"

Morong told the researchers what he thought, but they obviously didn't care, and some even rolled their eyes at him.

The researcher who took in Merongio walked over to him and pulled him aside.

"I've asked you to visit here, please stop talking nonsense, okay?"

"But I'm seriously proposing."

"Hey, we haven't tried what you said. Once someone comes in contact with it, it will be torn apart by that powerful force. In short, just look at it. We must have thought about what you are thinking about."

After saying this, the researcher walked back.

"But you may not all dare to do what I dare to do."

The researcher was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully:

"What do you mean?"

"That's what I mean!"

Mo Rong gathered his strength and sprinted to the side of the golem. The whirlwind slash followed the trend. He controlled the power. This time he would only repel the researchers around the golem but not hurt them.

Then he jumped up high and touched the core of the demon statue that erupted with energy.

"No!"

"stop!"

A powerful wave of energy erupted in the surrounding area instantly, sending everyone below flying several meters away. The bridge they came from was also shattered. At this time, the energy that was still erupting outwards slowly condensed into Mo Rong. on the body.

Everyone saw his pink light flashing for a while, and then the energy of the demon disappeared without a trace.

Only Mo Rong himself knew that there was a smaller version of the golem core in his body, with crystal embellishments on it.

The researchers quickly got up and ran to the side of the golem, but now they looked at the center of the body. There were no energy fluctuations. It was pitch black inside, and it had obviously become ordinary like the golem outside.

"You, what did you do?!"

"Where did you get the golem's energy?!"

Then the researchers glared at Mo Rong. They knew that this man touched the golem without permission and seemed to absorb the energy. He was the culprit.

"No, why are you okay?!"

While everyone was threatening and intimidating Mo Rong, a researcher asked a question.

Only then did everyone realize, yes! Why is there nothing wrong with the man in front of me? Such huge energy is enough to make an ordinary person explode to death.

"There is something wrong with his body! Capture him and study him! We will definitely gain something!"

"That's right! Catch him!"

Everyone looked at Mo Rong with hot eyes.

Murong, on the other hand, walked aside and held Fast up, smiling evilly at everyone.

"Don't you want to know where the energy goes?"

"Then I'll show you how this energy is really used!"

As he said that, everyone saw the pink light slowly gathering behind Mo Rong, turning into ores in the cave out of thin air. However, the next moment, those ores suddenly exploded, producing a wave of energy that was no less than The energy just now spreads towards everyone again.

When everyone opened their eyes again, there was no figure of Mo Rong beside the body, only the ore powder floating in the air.

Looking towards the way behind him, he saw a pink light flashing in the distance.

Gradually disappeared.
