Hollow Knight: Hallownest

There was obviously a hint of panic in the eyes of the two of them. Mo Rong could no longer stand up and hurriedly removed his ghost spirit. Kui Ruo could only rely on the bone nails to hold himself up.

"Are you okay?!"

It was obvious from the hunter's words that he had not lost his ability to fight.

The hunter lay on his back on the gravel, looking at the light coming from the hole above, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's been so long, I don't know the last time I was knocked to the ground."

The hunter suddenly lifted his legs, exerted all his strength on his waist, and stood up again as soon as the carp straightened up.

"I thought you had reached your limit, but I didn't expect you still had a backup plan."

"Hide and wait until the time comes. As a hunter, you have to be better than me."

The words were torn into the air again as the hunter disappeared, and the next moment he appeared in front of Mo Rong, a hand reaching out to him like lightning.

"stop!"

Kui Ruo wanted to use the bone nail to stop him, but his body refused to obey his orders. When Mo Rong saw this, he cried out that it was over.

The hunter didn't know what the two were thinking at this time, but he didn't mean any harm.

The bony hand stopped under Mo Rong's body and helped him up.

Mo Rong:?

"Your strength is unfathomable. I am no longer sure I can kill you."

"Provoking another hunter who is stronger than yourself is tantamount to embarking on the road to death. Therefore, I want to make friends with you."

The hunter flicked one hand and pushed Kui Ruo beside Mo Rong to the ground, and then sat down next to him.

Quirrel:?

"You want to be friends with me?"

"Yes, only people stronger than me can have this qualification. You are honored."

"Then I thank you."

Mo Rong looked helplessly at the hunter beside him who wanted him to ascend to heaven just now. He wanted to curse but didn't dare to curse.

"You're welcome. If one day I notice that you have become weaker than me, I will still hunt you."

"..."

The hunter glanced at Quiro, who was glaring at him, with some memories in his eyes.

"I thought my companions were just a burden, but that doesn't seem to be the case now."

"You never have?"

"It has happened before, but I can't control my desire to test them. Alas, it would be great if I could meet you earlier."

Mo Rong's eyes were strange when he heard this.

The test the hunter mentioned was probably similar to his behavior just now. No wonder he is still alone now.

After resting for a while, Mo Rong slowly stood up.

"Then if you don't have anything else to do, let's just say goodbye and see you again someday."

"and many more."

The hunter stopped Mo Rong who was about to get up, walked to the place where the fangs gathered, rummaged for a while, and then handed a stone engraved with strange symbols to Mo Rong.

"Will you do me a favor?"

"No."

Morong refused without thinking. He didn't have a good impression of the hunter now and wanted him to help?

"The reward is that I can help you once."

It is not impossible.

"You said."

Mo Rong sat down again and looked at the hunter.

The hunter was a little stunned. Seeing that Mo Rong rejected him at first, he thought that he would have to spend a lot of time, but he didn't expect that Mo Rong agreed as soon as the conditions were put forward.

"Well, that's it. I want you to help me collect hunter logs."

Passing the stone in his hand to Mo Rong, the hunter slowly spoke.

"Hunter log? Can't you collect it yourself?"

Mo Rong frowned slightly and saw the hunter shaking his head.

"I really can't find where that thing is, so I asked you to search for it at the same time. The more the better."

Kui Ruo had been unable to say anything before, but now he was able to talk.

"What is it, tell me? Maybe I know."

Kui Ruo walked to the other side of Mo Rong and raised his chin slightly. Not only did his teacher's archives record all the rare and exotic objects in this land, but at least there were about 70% of them.

"Life Seed, have you ever heard of it?"

As soon as the hunter finished speaking, Quiruo had a reaction.

"Is it a creature that looks like blue liquid! It's so small that it can also run!"

Kui Ruo thought about it carefully for a while and found that there was indeed a record in the teacher's file.

Mo Rong on the side also nodded and said doubtfully:

"You want to collect this?"

He remembered that although there were not many cocoons of life in this land, they were far from extinct. How could the hunter not collect this?

Just as he thought, the hunter continued:

"No, what I want to collect is the complete form of life seeds, life butterflies."

Mo Rong wanted to speak, but the hunter signaled him to continue listening.

"I know what you want to say. It's just that life butterflies usually grow next to life seeds, but that's not what I want."

"What I want to collect are the purest life butterflies. They only grow in the rich breath of life."

Looking at the stone in his hand, Mo Rong was curious about how this small thing could read the information in it.

"You don't have to wonder why I know this. This is a reminder left by the hunter clan."

"So what if we find it?"

"Just bring the stone close and it will record it by itself."

Merong weighed the stone in his hand, and then grasped it in his hand. They were going to travel anyway, so this matter was not too troublesome.

"Okay, I'll accept this request. Just wait for my news."

After the words fell, and seeing that he had agreed, the hunter suddenly grabbed Mo Rong, and quickly ran out of the cave using his hands and feet.

"Ahem...Hey! Big guy! There's me too!"

Quiruo shook the dust away from his eyes and shouted to the hunter dissatisfied.

The hunter ignored him, and Mo Rong saw that one of his hands was holding a fang next to his head, and with a crisp sound, the tooth was torn off by him.

"Take it and crush him if you need my help and I will know where you are."

Vigorous, too violent.

Mo Rong took the fang over, and the residual warmth on it had not dissipated.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to complete your commission?"

"Then this is also your reward as a hunter. This is the tradition of our family."

Looking at the fangs in his hand and looking at the hunter in front of him, Mo Rong unexpectedly discovered that he was actually not that bad.

After everything was done, the hunter silently walked back to the haystack, but was stopped by someone.

"Where does your strength come from?"

Standing in front of the hunter was Gallian, who had woken up. At this time, he was staring at the hunter, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.

The hunter glanced at Gallian with disdain, stretched out his hand to push him aside, and continued to move forward.

"I beg you! Tell me!"

Mo Rong looked at Galian not far away with a look of disbelief. His behavior at this time was very different from that during the trial. He no longer looked so arrogant, and actually knelt down towards the hunter.

Gallian doesn't care about the opinions of others. In order to become a knight, humiliation is just a training in his eyes.

"The effort you put into begging me here is enough for me to hunt you ten times."

The hunter's figure gradually disappeared into the grass, leaving only an indifferent word floating in Gallian's ears.

Gallian, who was kneeling on the ground at this moment, had a strange light shining in his eyes.

"Hunting... hunting... yes, as long as I hunt the creatures on this land one by one, I can reach his level!"

Mo Rong saw Gallian standing up suddenly from the ground, and then galloping away, muttering something in his mouth, his whole body was in a state of confusion.

"Damn! That guy is so heartless! If I couldn't beat him, I would have to..."

Kui Ruo held the mantis claw and climbed up, cursing all the way, and saw only Mo Rong.

"Where are they? Gallian and the hunters..."

After saying that, he handed the shining tortoise shell and mantis claw back to Mo Rong, and looked around for a moment.

"Everyone's gone, let's go too."

Kui Ruo took a long breath and followed Mo Rong out of the cave where the hunter was.

From meeting the hunter, witnessing the battle between the hunter and Gallian, to the two of them confronting each other in person, and finally almost losing their lives together.

Looking back, he still feels like he is in a dream.

Seeing Kui Ruo's distracted look, Mo Rong joked:

"How about it, isn't it nice to 'travel' outside?"

He originally thought that Kui Ruo was a little scared, but after hearing this, Kui Ruo looked at Mo Rong with bright eyes.

"It's so cool! Brother Mo Rong!"

"Coming out on adventures with you is simply the wisest choice! Where should we go next?"

Kui Ruo gave him a thumbs up. Seeing his energetic look, Mo Rong was a little bit dumbfounded.

It seems that Quiruo is a player with a big heart.

Mo Rong looked ahead. Since he had agreed to the hunter, the road ahead was already in front of him.

But before that, there is one more thing that needs to be done.

......

Looking at Mo Rong who had gone away, the hunter in the grass took out a stone and engraved his appearance.

Then he wrote another comment on the side:

"A better hunter, I hope he won't come to hunt me."
