Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Chapter 13 Return to the city, fungal wasteland (page 12)

When Morong woke up, he also found that Wuma had left, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, his goal had been achieved.

Now it's a question of where to draw soul power.

Mo Rong was deep in thought as he and Ida walked back to the convoy and soon arrived at the delivery location.

"Assemble and line up!"

Following the general manager's order, everyone took their positions around the convoy.

Mo Rong came back to his senses and looked around. There were obviously fewer people in the convoy. There were only a few dozen people left in the convoy that originally had forty or fifty people.

"set off!"

Everyone walked towards another road, and Mo Rong thought they were going back the same way.

"Where are we going?"

"Back to the city, where else do you want to go?"

Ida's face was still swollen and her speech was muffled. He was very surprised that Mo Rong was also beaten by him, why did he act like nothing happened?

Is it because he is thick-skinned?

"That's not right, it wasn't this way when we came."

"What? Do you want to be chased by those things again?"

"That's right. After all, you are so flexible, maybe you can go back safe and sound, but I don't know if you will still remember me as a brother after you go back."

"After all, I really never thought that anyone would let his brother blow the cold wind outside the house all night, and still sleep so soundly."

Ida was heartbroken and looked exaggerated.

"Do you believe that if you don't talk nicely, I will use the trick Wuma did last night to make you fly?"

Mo Rong stared at him coldly, so scared that Ida didn't dare to say a word for a while.

"Oh, you're just joking, it's true, you're still being serious with your brother."

Ida frowned and said with a smile:

"The route is different. When we came, we walked through a crossroad. That road was dangerous."

"But our way back now is through the mushroom field, so this road is very safe."

Mo Rong asked strangely:

"Then why didn't we take this road when we came?"

"Um, this road is only suitable for getting off the convoy, not for going up... Tsk, I can't explain, you will know later."

Mo Rong didn't ask any more questions. You'll know just by looking at him when the time comes.

After a while, the convoy arrived at the place Ida mentioned.

Mo Rong looked down to the side. The wall spread all the way towards the darkness below. It was estimated to be twenty or thirty meters away.

I saw the beetle pulling the truck and slowly walking to a large stone slab in front of the exit. The stone slab trembled and suddenly sank at a constant speed.

Mo Rong looked around and above. There were many stone slabs of different heights spread intermittently in this deep passage. The stone slabs were pulled by the silk threads above and fixed in the air. Mo Rong finally understood what was going on.

This is a simple elevator, but the silk threads of each stone slab are fixed in the air. Only when the stone slab exceeds the load-bearing capacity, will it slowly descend.

Much like the ladder he walked on the Forgotten Crossroads in the game.

As the stone slab rose up from the darkness, everyone descended into several waves and descended to the bottom of the passage.

Mo Rong jumped off the stone slab. The feeling under his feet was hard but soft. Looking down, he saw many mushrooms growing out of the gravel road. Looking around, not only the road, but also the surrounding walls were also growing. Covered in countless varieties of mushrooms.

It turns out that the mushroom patch Ida spoke of was a fungal wasteland.

"Hey, go on!"

As soon as Mo Rong reacted, a mushroom hit him in the face.

Ida raised the half-bitten mushroom on her hand.

"It's edible, but it doesn't taste very good."

Mo Rong picked up the mushroom that Ida had just thrown and threw it back. He had a shadow on this thing.

I remember that his relatives in Yunnan had sent him some before. He didn't feel anything wrong after eating it. It wasn't until he went to the toilet after eating that he heard the toilet scolding him, and then he realized that he had been poisoned.

Alas, it’s hard to look back on the past.

"What's up? If you don't want to eat, it's free."

Ida chewed it with relish, and by the way, she also ate the one that Mo Rong just threw over.

"If you like it, bring more to eat."

"That won't work. If you don't eat it immediately after picking it, it will go bad."

Mo Rong ignored him and the motorcade continued to move forward. He saw a lot of pink bouncing mushrooms in the game on the side of the road. He jumped on them and stepped on them. They felt very elastic.

Ida also followed Mo Rong's example and jumped on the mushroom and stepped on it, but he used too much strength and threw himself into the sky and fell aside.

"It hurts."

Mo Rong laughed and asked:

"Have you never stepped on this thing before, with such force?"

"Not really. I only thought this kind of mushroom was for eating before. Don't tell me, it's very chewy."

Ida said seriously, and Mo Rong was speechless.

The two chatted all the way, and after a long time, they finally arrived at the gate of the city.

At the gate of the city, there were both guards from the City of Tears and mushroom warriors from the Fungus Tribe. After the manager handed something unknown to the guards to read, everyone was able to move on.

......

"The Pilgrim's Road Ends Here"

"The open door of Hallownest Center is right in front of you."

"Just keep going"

"Share its glory"

......

Seeing the sign standing beside the bridge in front of him, Mo Rong knew that they were finally reaching the City of Tears.

Walking on the bridge leading to the City of Tears, Mo Rong lowered his head and looked at the clear water under his feet, but something felt wrong.

Did he remember that there was not green acid under the bridge?

Did he forget?

If you don’t understand, just ask! Mo Rong scratched his head and asked Ida next to him.

"Ida, I remember that the water here is not green? It is also bubbling."

"What the hell?"

Ida was still holding the mushroom she had just finished eating, and looked at Mo Rong with a strange expression.

Well, it’s no use asking, he doesn’t know either.

......

This time, Mo Rong and the others received a full reward of three hundred euros. I heard from others that the manager told the housekeeper what happened on the road, and the housekeeper compensated everyone.

After receiving the compensation, both of them were in a good mood. After this trip, each of them had an income of more than 1,000 yuan.

Ida patted Mo Rong on the shoulder and said proudly:

"Let's go! Brother, I'll buy you a drink. You won't come back until you're drunk!"

Ida didn't hear the reply, and Mo Rong was looking around, looking for something.

"What are you looking at?"

"Help me find the manager."

"What are you looking for him for?"

"If there's something wrong, help me look for it."

The two of them searched the crowd for a long time, and finally stopped the manager when he was about to walk out of Woou Trading Company.

"Butler! Stay!"

Fa Tuo heard someone calling him from behind, and when he looked back, he saw that it was two people drinking together in Canglu.

Both sides walked towards each other.

"The freight is over, just call me Fato, what's the matter?"
