Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Chapter 8 Mother of Gruz

Sadness enveloped the convoy and was difficult to disperse. Everyone walked forward without saying a word, and the originally deserted environment became even more silent at this time.

"Is everything going to be okay next?"

Mo Rong's tense nerves have begun to feel a little tired. This unknownness from the darkness not only consumes everyone's physical strength, but also tortures the mind.

"Based on my past experience, there are only two waves at most at one time, and then there should be no more."

"Huh~ That's good."

"If you don't count that."

Ida thought to herself, looking up at the darkness ahead.

Mo Rong relaxed his neck, always raising his head, which was a bit too much for him.

"You cannot let your guard down completely. My experience has also told me that in this place... experience cannot be trusted."

Ida's tone was a little sad, but then she began to look around again.

The convoy moved forward in the darkness for a while. The steward looked at the map and encouraged everyone:

"Everyone, cheer up. There is only one last stretch before we go out. Work harder!"

These words were undoubtedly inspiring to everyone who had experienced the tragedy just now, and their pace accelerated in unison.

"Boom!"

Before walking a few steps, the surroundings suddenly shook, and a lot of gravel fell from the darkness above.

"Boom!"

More and more gravel fell from the sky, and the earthquake became stronger. The manager suddenly felt something bad in his heart, so he just said that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and urged everyone to speed up their pace.

"Boom!—Bang!"

At first, Mo Rong thought that there was some kind of giant creature approaching from the front, but it turned out that his idea was completely wrong.

A huge black shadow fell from the sky directly above the manager, pressing straight towards the manager. The manager reacted and stood up to leave, but he was already exhausted and how could he outrun the giant shadow falling from the sky.

The figure fell to the ground and raised a cloud of dust, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes.

When the dust dispersed, the scene in front of them made everyone present despair.

Mo Rong also recognized the giant insect in front of him.

Mother of Gruz.

The position where the general manager should have been was suddenly occupied by the mother of Gruz. As for the general manager, no one saw him.

It was obvious where he was.

Mother Gruz paused for a moment after falling, then jumped up high again and smashed towards everyone.

"not good!"

Mo Rong dodged and stepped back. He would probably be killed if this hit hit him hard.

The scenery on the side faded quickly, and Mo Rong realized that Ida was missing from beside him, and quickly stopped and looked back.

The crowd dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Ida staring at the Mother of Gruz with an expression of disbelief, still muttering:

"No, it's impossible. This must be an illusion, an illusion..."

Mo Rong thought Ida was frightened and immediately rushed over.

Ida was his first friend here. Needless to say, she had a good character. She had just saved his life. He didn't want Ida to end up here like this.

"You **** should be damned, please pay for my immersive game!"

With a look of grief and indignation, Mo Rong pushed away Ida who was stunned on the spot, looked at the figure in the sky who was about to be pressed down, and made an international greeting gesture.

There was a "boom", which hit Mo Rong solidly and woke up Ida. Then the mother of Gruz stood up and smashed into the crowd of people running away.

Recalling what happened just now, Ida realized what she had done.

He climbed up on his hands and knees and hurriedly ran towards the round pit. Although he knew what the outcome would be, he still kept praying in his heart.

The distance from Ida to the edge of the pit was very close, but at this moment Ida felt very far away. Looking at the ink that had dispersed into a pool of black liquid in the pit, Ida's pupils gradually dilated.

"I...what did I do again?!"

Tears scattered on the ground like broken threads. Ida remembered that a few years ago, the scene in front of her was the same as before. His elder brother also resolutely pushed him away, and then lay in front of him, his face There was still fear on his face.

The figure of the elder brother in the memory gradually overlapped with the figure of Mo Rong in front of him, but the only thing that remained unchanged was him, the useless him.

He knelt beside the pit, looking at Mo Rong with dull eyes, completely ignoring the fact that Gruz's mother was still here.

After crushing several more people to death, Mother Gruz discovered Ida next to the pit and jumped towards him.

This time Ida soon felt the pressure coming from above, but her body did not move, and her eyes were filled with the will to die.

"Let me atone for my sins, brother, Mo Rong, I'm here to accompany you."

After thinking about it, he closed his eyes and welcomed the arrival of death.

Just when Mother Gruz was about to land, a giant white hammer shot out from a distance.

The huge force carried by the hammer head easily smashed the Mother of Gruz to the side. The hammer spun several times in the air and landed firmly in the hands of the knight who came after.

If Mo Rong was awake, he would definitely recognize that the knight holding a giant hammer in front of him was none other than Hegemer, whom he had met once in the city before.

"Cheer up, he's not dead." Hegmo said to Ida who was kneeling on the ground beside her, and ran towards the Mother of Gruz without waiting for a reply.

"Is it because I died too quickly?"

Ida, who was originally prepared to face death, didn't feel anything for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Suddenly there was a sound beside him, and when he opened his eyes, the Lord Knight actually appeared next to him.

"The Lord Knight is also dead?"

Ida was a little confused, but then she thought about what the knight seemed to have said just now? He looked at his surroundings again and realized that the Lord Knight had saved him.

"Not dead? Mo Rong is not dead?!"

Ida then recalled what Hegmo said and looked at Mo Rong in the pit. Although he was a little skeptical, he believed that the Lord Knight would not lie to him.

The camera turned to Mo Rong. His body, which had originally dispersed into a puddle of black liquid, began to gather together. Although it was very slow, a human figure could be seen.

......

Hegemer fought against the Mother of Gruz, and the result was undoubtedly a one-sided crushing.

Ida watched as the knight swung the giant hammer in his hand and smashed the Mother of Gruz into pieces. The scene was very brutal.

Many little Grutz flew out from the corpse that was hammered into pieces. With a wave of his hand, Hegmo, those little Grutz disappeared.

Carrying the hammer behind his back, Hegmo walked towards Ida.

Seeing the ink figures gathering in the pit, Haigmo became more certain about his original guess.

"Lord Knight, please save my friend." Ida knelt down and kowtowed, and when he was about to continue kowtowing, Hegmo stopped him.

At this time, the ink in the pit had condensed into its original shape, lying there quietly.

Haigmo stretched out his hand towards Mo Rong, and with a little force, he inserted his hand directly into Mo Rong's body.

"Lord Knight, what are you doing?!" Ida exclaimed.

But seeing Mo Rong's body gradually emitting a white shimmer, Ida closed her mouth again.

Mo Rong felt wrapped in a warm breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"Am I back?"

What is in front of him is not the dormitory that Mo Rong is familiar with, but Ida and the one beside...

Hegmer? !

Mo Rong's expression was shocked and he immediately sat up. Haigmo also withdrew his hand from Mo Rong's body.

Seeing that Mo Rong was fine, Hegmo stood up and left.

Mo Rong looked at the place where his hand had just been taken out, recalling the feeling just now, and asked Ida:

"What happened just now?"

Seeing Mo Rong's "resurrection", Ida finally breathed out a long breath, and her heart was relieved.

"Just after you were crushed to death by that giant insect, the Lord Knight rushed over, smashed you into pieces by the giant insect, and then revived you." Ida pointed at the body of Mother Gruz as she spoke. pointed.

Mo Rong looked in the direction he pointed and saw broken pieces spread on the ground.

This force is really shocking.

Mo Rong could already imagine the scene at that time, and asked Ida again:

"Did anything change in my body when the knight just saved me?"

He wanted to confirm his suspicion.

Ida thought about it for a moment, her eyes a little strange.

"Speaking of which, I haven't noticed yet. Your body seemed to have regained its shape at some point. Then when the Lord Knight rescued you, your body seemed to be glowing, a faint white light."

really!

After listening to Ida's description, Mo Rong was certain of something in his heart.

That burst of white light should be the soul power given to him by Hegemo. No wonder he felt so comfortable just now. This proves that he can indeed recover from injuries by gathering souls like in the game.

Secondly, he should have more than one life. In other words, he should have an 'initial life' like in the game.

The attack by Mother Gruz just now should have killed one of his health points, and the time it took for him to return to his human form should be the so-called 'invincible time', but he moved during the 'invincible time' However, there is no consciousness yet.

What is uncertain now is how many 'lives' he has.

Ida saw Mo Rong sitting there deep in thought, thinking that he was recovering, so he didn't disturb him anymore. After all, he felt that no one who escaped from the hands of death would be in a calm state of mind.

Ida walked towards the body of Mother Gruz and suddenly found some things scattered on the ground near the body that reflected light slightly.

"Brother, brother? Mo Rong!"

When Mo Rong heard someone calling him, he came back to his senses and looked towards the source of the sound.

Ida was seen standing next to the body of Gruz's mother, looking nervous and not knowing what she was protecting. She waved vigorously to him, beckoning him to come over quickly.

When he reached Ida, he saw the things scattered on the ground clearly.

Those are the things Mo Rong has been craving for a long time.

Scattered on the ground were piles of Geo!
