Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Mo Rong left the lounge and looked around. When he was about to go back, Kui Ruo suddenly rushed out of the lounge and hooked his neck.

"Brother Morong! My teacher agreed to let me go on an adventure with you!"

"I'm super excited now! Where do you think our first stop should be?"

"Brother Morong?"

Kui Ruo said a lot without seeing any reply from Mo Rong, but he could feel the tapping sensation on his arm.

"...let...let go...I'm going to...strangle myself..."

Kui Ruo saw that Mo Rong was lifted into the air by him and quickly let go.

"Oh, I'll go. I'm sorry, Brother Morong, I was so excited that I couldn't control it."

"Ahem! You just want to take the opportunity to retaliate against me..."

Mo Rong coughed twice before remembering what Kui Ruo said just now.

"Your teacher really asked you to go out? Is it true?"

Kui Ruo looked back at the quiet rest room, quickly grabbed Mo Rong's hand and walked out.

"The teacher told me personally, let's run away quickly, otherwise I'm afraid the teacher will regret it later and take me back."

"..."

Morong didn't expect that Monomen would actually implement the casual mention just now, and so quickly.

Could it be that they are treating me as a step for Kuiruo to step down?

On the way out of the archives, Kui Ruo was very excited. Looking at his appearance, Mo Rong asked curiously:

"Quirro, don't you take anything with you when you go on an adventure?"

"Hey, I carry all the bone nails with me."

Quiruo pointed at his back and raised his eyebrows.

"Just a bone nail?"

Kui Ruo took out dozens of pieces of Geo from his pocket and showed them to Mo Rong, then scratched his head.

"And these, does it cost a lot to venture out?"

"Yes, these are enough."

When he came here, even his clothes were given by Lu Ruien. Didn't he still make it now?

"So do you have a plan on where to go?"

"Ah, well..."

The two stared at each other without saying a word.

"You have no plan?"

"How could I have it?"

The two of them said these two sentences to each other with a tacit understanding. Mo Rong held his forehead and said helplessly:

"I was being hunted when you came to find me. I must be running away with you."

"That's right, I forgot about this..."

Mo Rong turned over his body and found that except for a map from the City of Tears to the Peak, there was no other map.

"Quirro, are you familiar with the terrain of the canyon?"

"Of course. After all, I grew up here. Why do you ask?"

"Are there any other maps in the archives?"

"You tell me, the teacher does seem to have a map of the Green Area... I'll go find the teacher and ask for it?"

Kui Ruo's expression was obviously troubled, and Mo Rong sighed.

"Forget it, let's go according to your impressions. Just pick the places your teacher won't let you go and consider it the beginning of your adventure."

"Then come with me, I really know a place to go."

After saying that, Kui Ruo took the lead and walked towards a fork in the road.

Monomen stood in front of the window, looked at Quiruo who was walking away and said angrily:

"This kid didn't even say hello. I must teach him a lesson next time I come back."

......

Mo Rong followed Kui Ruo and continued to walk to higher places. If he remembered correctly, the green path should be above him.

"Are you planning to go to Canlu?"

"Green?"

Kui Ruo was stunned for a moment, recalling the lush scenery he had seen not far away before, which seemed to be exactly what Mo Rong said.

"So it turns out that there is a green area up there? No wonder the plants grow more vibrant the closer I get there."

"Brother Morong, have you been there?"

Well, the first time I met the snail shaman was not in Green.

"Of course, the first time I shipped goods with you, Brother Date, was the green one."

"Freight?"

"It's just to help people deliver things and earn some Geo. It's the same nature as helping teachers get things."

"There is still a difference. After all, I helped the teacher get something and she didn't give me Geo."

Quiruo laughed, and the two of them passed through the canyon in a short time. As the surrounding color tone changed from light pink to emerald green, they officially arrived in the green territory.

Feeling the completely different scenery from the canyon, Quiruo took a long breath.

"Green! I'm coming!"

Mo Rong could see how excited he was at this time, it was very similar to when he was a child, being alone at home, eating, drinking, watching TV and playing on the computer. Only he could understand that feeling at that time.

The strange pebbles scattered on the ground, the towering vines tied together, and even the jungle nearby can attract Quiruo's attention.

"Wow, are these pebbles natural? The patterns on them are full of natural flavor."

"And these vines, my God, how do they grow so high? It would be great if they could be eaten. If you pick one, you can eat it for a long time."

"And this flower, it's really... oh my gosh!"

Quiruo looked at a bulging flower among the green leaves on the stone wall above. It trembled and trembled as if it was breathing. Just as he was sighing at the beauty of nature, the flower suddenly bloomed and sprayed out a circle. The ball hit Quirrel on the head.

"This, this thing will actively attack people?"

Kui Ruo hurriedly stayed away from the flowers above, hid behind Mo Rong and rubbed the bump on his head, feeling wet on his hands.

suck~

"There's something wrong with the juice in this thing."

Kui Ruo took a lick and tasted it. The slight numbness in his mouth gradually spread to his brain, making him excited and he actually thought about licking some more.

Morong has seen that kind of flower, which is quite friendly to be honest. There is also an even more troublesome plant in the green and fungal wasteland. What it spits out is a real tracking explosive bomb.

But it shouldn't be that outrageous now, after all, it's the effect of being infected.

"Brother Morong, try it."

Kui Ruo wiped the juice on Mo Rong's hand and motioned for him to have a taste too.

"Hi~, this thing?"

The stimulation that was transmitted to his brain made him frown.

"Isn't the taste very strange? I have seen many plants included in the archives, and now I remember this thing."

"So what exactly are you trying to say?"

"The name of this flower is Gurka. It has an aggressiveness that is different from ordinary plants. Once a living creature comes close to it, it will spit out seeds containing poisonous sap to attack."

"So you went around and around for a long time just to tell me that the thing you just gave me a taste was poisonous, right?"

Quiruo nodded solemnly.

It's hard, the fist is hard.

"Damn! You're so short-sighted!"

Mo Rong wanted to jump up and hit Kui Ruo on the head, but that would be too embarrassing, so she punched him on the shoulder.

"Haha, I'm kidding you."

"I was shocked, I thought it was true..."

"Actually, what is ejected is not a seed, but a mixture produced independently in its body."

Mo Rong:?

"So love is still poisonous, right..."

Mo Rong found that Kui Ruo seemed to let go of his nature. Why hadn't he seen him so "humorous" before?

"Don't worry, the toxicity is quite normal, but it is addictive. If you eat too much, it may be fatal. We don't have to worry about what we just tasted."

Kui Ruo suddenly found it interesting to tease Mo Rong and smiled happily.

Mo Rong was speechless and walked forward without caring about Kui Ruo, who was laughing so hard on the spot.

"Hey, wait for me."

......

The dangers of the green path are never exposed on the surface. Most of them are hidden in the weeds that are much denser than them. This way they can not only avoid attacks from the outside world, but also catch the enemy by surprise.

Maybe people who have been to this land will think that the green environment is very harmonious, and as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke, there will be no danger to attack.

harmonious?

Maybe it really exists, but it is probably just a dignity left by the strong to the weak.

Just like the swans do not keep company with the sparrows, the bright moon does not compete with the fireflies.

The fangs intertwined among the grass here are either stone sculptures or taken from other creatures. They emit a faint cold light among the green, which is frightening.

The grass in the depths was extremely lush, occupying almost half of the space, but between the seemingly lush grass, a circle of fangs gradually emerged, and then six pupils slowly opened.

"...powerful aura..."

"...Hunting time..."
