Hollow Knight: Hallownest

(Two chapters, four updates.)

Lurian arrived at the small town of Ditmouth faster than he expected.

The stag beetle that carried him did not reach the inn in Ditmouth, and Lurian did not blame it. Because of the current situation in the town of Ditmouth, the stag beetle family must have also received the news.

After walking out of the inn, Lu Ruien saw several sentries running past him. He casually pulled one of them over to ask. The sentry was already agitated and was hindered by others while performing his task. He immediately wanted to curse.

"You...see Lord Watcher!"

The sentry turned his head angrily, but when he saw that the person who came was Lu Ruien, he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured into his heart, and he quickly stopped the unkind words he wanted to say.

"What's the current situation of the town?"

"Master Watcher, the current situation in the town is not optimistic. The residents are almost out of control. Although we have controlled a lot,...it doesn't help."

"Take me to see it."

"As ordered!"

The sentry led the way, and soon Lurian saw the out-of-control residents they mentioned. At the same time, he also saw the orange light clinging to the eyes of the residents.

"It is indeed the ancient god. Even the symptoms of infection are exactly the same."

Lurian murmured, walked up to the residents, put his hands on their shoulders, and little white light particles merged into the residents' bodies from his hands. Within a few breaths, the restless orange light in his eyes It calmed down, and the twitching body returned to normal, but Lurian's expression was not relaxed at all, and was still heavy.

Sure enough, not long after he let go of his hand, the orange glow that he had just suppressed became active again, and the resident's aggression was aroused again as if Lurian had never touched him.

"Although my power is strong, I can't erase the orange light in his eyes. The essence of the two is not in the same level."

Lurian frowned. Even though he continued to pour his own power into the residents' bodies to suppress their lured aggression, he could not stay with these residents forever. Furthermore, the bodies of those residents Whether he can withstand his power for a long time without problems is also a headache for him.

"Do the residents here have similar symptoms to him?"

The sentry nodded. Now Lurian was in trouble. Although Ditmouth is not as large as the City of Tears, the traffic coming and going here is even greater. If no measures are taken, this tragedy may spread to All of Hallownest.

"You guys, go and close the door to Hallownest first. No one is allowed to enter or leave Hallownest until the crisis is resolved!"

"The remaining sentries, continue to perform your mission!"

"As ordered!"

Lurian turned around and walked towards the inn where he came from, and rang the bell next to the platform. He thought that this crisis would be like a riot in the trial. It would be easy for him to quell it if it was not large in scale. Who would have thought that this ancient god would The power was like a plague, constantly infecting those residents, and the entire Dirtmouth was disrupted by it.

Now it seems that I have no choice but to ask the king for help.

Just a moment after the bell rang, the footsteps of the stag beetle appeared in the tunnel. Lurian got on its back after approaching, and said loudly: "Go to the Palace Square, hurry!"

As soon as the voice fell, the stag beetle's thick thighs began to kick vigorously. For a while, the tunnel was filled with sand and rocks, but it could not catch up with the stag beetle's back.

"Lord Watcher, have you... found a way?"

Lurian was still thinking deeply about how to solve the problem of the plague. The stag beetle under him heard a voice of doubt. Its eyes were still shining with expectation, but when it saw Lurian shaking his head, his eyes sparkled. After a while it dimmed.

"There's nothing you can do..."

The number of stag bugs that have come out in the past few days has been reduced by almost half. The clan leader said that this is for the safety of the tribe. If the stag bugs are also infected with this symptom, then the traffic in the entire Hallownest will be paralyzed. .

This sentence is not an exaggeration. Stag Stations are almost all over Hallownest. The total number of passengers that all overseas Stag Stations connect every day is almost as many as the entire town of Ditmouth. Therefore, in order to ensure the line, the patriarch In order to keep the operation going, we had to reduce the number of stag bugs sent out, just in case, and by the way, we told them not to get close to the inn.

As the stag beetle paused, the sand and gravel behind it finally caught up and fell on it. The stag beetle was about to remind it, but when it looked back, it saw that Lu Ruien on its back had already disappeared, but Its mind was revived by the gradually dissipating voice lingering in its ears.

"Don't worry, this is Hallownest."

......

Black Worm?

Who is that? A relative of King Bai?

Morong looked at the knights fighting with 'him' with a puzzled look on his face, and heard the word 'Black Worm' from their mouths and those of the White King.

He is not unfamiliar with Worm. The huge body drooping on the edge of the kingdom in the game should be Worm, the predecessor of White King. However, he has never heard of the word Black Worm. Is it possible that the monster under him is actually the same as Worm? Is there any connection with King Bai?

Thinking of this, Mo Rong began to look at the body of the giant beast more carefully, and his eyes gradually became a little weird.

Not to mention, except for those giant claws and the tendrils dancing on the body, this body is still somewhat similar to Worm's body in his memory, but it doesn't have those horn crowns. From this point of view, it is okay to call it Black Worm. excusable.

As the battle progressed, Black Worm's attacks became more severe, but Mo Rong's expression did not change much. After all, when he saw that the giant beast under him had a slight upper hand in the battle with the White King, he was satisfied You know that it is not easy for the five knights in front of you to defeat it.

With its powerful attack power and self-healing ability, Mo Rong thought for a moment. Fortunately, there is no such boss in the abyss in the game. If there was one, he might just attack him.

I restore blood and you restore blood too?

How dare you?

The light of the lighthouse lit up again at some point and hit him, but this time there was no such discomfort. Black Worm's attacks became more rapid, and more or less... Prejudgment?

After seeing Isma's tragic situation and Hegemer's injury, Mo Rong's heart was so high that it was in her throat. Wouldn't the five knights just die like this?

But as soon as this idea came up, Mo Rong immediately rejected it. After all, he could still see Brother Finda in the game.

And just when Morong thought that the two sides were going to fight fiercely for a long time, something happened again. Brother Finda jumped into the mouth of the giant beast under him with a heroic gesture.

"Your Majesty the King! Leave it to me!"

......

"Um?!"

Mo Rong's chin almost hit the ground. He knew Brother Finda was brave, but he didn't expect him to be so brave.

He knew Orgrim wanted to destroy the beast beneath him from within, but that was crazy.

Not to mention the thick tendrils protruding from the giant beast's mouth, just the circle of black sharp teeth that daunted him made Murong doubt that Orgrim would be chewed the moment he jumped into Worm's mouth. into pieces.
