Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Chapter 45 Fragile Strength (page 12)

The hard work paid off. After visiting many stores, Mo Rong finally bought a map of the fungal wasteland from an adventurer, but he still only had a rough idea.

But something was better than nothing. After buying some dry food for Fast to carry, the two set off on the road to the fungus wasteland.

In fact, Morong wanted to go back the way he came to ride the stag bug, but Fast refused to let him go, saying that if an elder met him, he would definitely be taken back.

......

"You really don't plan to go back?"

The two of them walked on the road to the fungus wasteland. Fast looked at the mushrooms growing wildly on the ground with great interest, touching them here and biting them there.

"Don't try to persuade me. What's the point of going back? I might as well just follow you."

"Then do you have Geo?"

Mo Rong said with a half-smile, Fast stood there stunned and said to him:

"What do you want that thing for?"

"..."

"Where do you think your food comes from?"

Mo Rong looked at Fast in front of him and rolled his eyes several times.

"How about you be my mount and I take care of your expenses for the journey?"

Fast shook his head crazily, and Mo Rong's face darkened when he saw this, and he said viciously:

"Then if you are hungry and don't have anything to eat, and if you encounter the same monster as before, I won't care about you."

"Why are you like this? You promised me to be with you before."

"Tch, then you still promise me to listen to my words."

"...Okay, but you can't always ask me to take you, otherwise I might as well go home."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

After boarding a pirate ship, you still have the final say on what happens next?

"Can I try it now?"

"Come up."

I had no choice but to let this guy ride for a while.

The spring breeze is full of insects, and all the fungi can be seen in one day.

After walking for a long time, Mo Rong looked at the map in his hand and finally discovered that there was an area marked with a cross not far away. This was the first time he saw such a sign, so he drove Fast to go there. .

"Come down, I can't walk anymore, you're so heavy."

Mo Rong's eyes widened, I'm a puddle of water and you said I'm sinking?

Forget it, this guy is still a kid, so it won't be difficult for him.

Fast followed Mo Rong, and as soon as he entered the room, a strong wind hit the two of them.

Faced with this sudden change, Murong quickly pulled out the bone nails and struck at him. The man seemed to realize that Murong had a weapon and hurriedly flew back.

"You bully a blind man and call me a helper, you bastards!"

There was a tent set up not far away, and with the faint light emitted from inside, Mo Rong could clearly see their attacker.

He was thin and thin, with two curved tentacles standing on his head, and his eyes were pure white. According to the man, he was probably blind.

Combined with where they were, Mo Rong immediately remembered who this person was.

Leg eaters.

Before he could explain, the leg-eater attacked again. Although he looked thin, his speed was not slow at all, and the surroundings were dim, making it difficult for Mo Rong to see where he was.

"left!"

Fast suddenly reminded him, and Mo Rong quickly slashed the bone nails to his side.

"Ding~"

Sure enough, the blow successfully hit the leg-eater. After succeeding, Murong did not pursue the victory and shouted loudly:

"Stop! We are just passers-by, we don't want to be your enemy!"

But the leg-eater seemed not to have heard it and disappeared from Mo Rong's eyes again.

"If you take action again, I won't be polite."

Mo Rong opened his mouth slightly, and the soul power slowly took shape in his mouth.

This time, Fast did not remind him. The leg-eater seemed to really feel the power condensed in Mo Rong's mouth, and stopped and retreated.

"Are you really not with those people just now?"

"If I were really with them, why would I be talking nonsense to you?"

"Hmph, bugs are inherently greedy. Who knows what you will do for my treasure."

"Tch, who cares about your treasure? I'm not short of money."

Mo Rong walked past the leg eater, and the leg eater was still wary of Mo Rong. Both of them walked towards the glowing tent.

There are many insect remains scattered around, but they all have one thing in common.

All lost their legs.

"You did all these guys?"

"Hmph, everyone who covets my treasure will end up like this."

"But they still have some advantages, such as their legs being very delicious."

The leg-eater licked the corner of his mouth, obviously still unfinished.

"Fast, let's rest here for the night and leave tomorrow. It won't be long before we reach our destination."

Murong invited Fast to sit on the side of the tent, and the leg-eater also came over with interest after hearing this.

According to its principle, if it is not the enemy, then it is the guest.

"Are you going downstairs?"

Mo Rong was noncommittal, and the leg-eater continued:

"Do you know where it is down there?"

"Of course we know, why do you ask?"

"You all know better than to go exploring with a bad map like those stupid young men."

The leg-eater smiled disdainfully, but Mo Rong lost his confidence.

"According to what you said, there is something dangerous down there."

"Of course, if you ask me, you're asking the right person."

"Tell me?"

"Fifty Geo."

Mo Rong finally understood that the guy in front of him just wanted to cheat his Gio. Although he had a lot of money, he didn't spend it in such a way.

"Fifty? My map only costs seventy or eighty euros."

"Forget it, don't listen. Soldiers will block it, water will cover it, and earth will cover it. I'm not strong enough to be afraid of those things."

The leg-eater became anxious upon hearing this and hurriedly said:

"No, it's only fifty euros. It's already very cheap in the face of possible life-threatening dangers."

"Okay, you are still cursing me. Let me tell you that I am very superstitious. If you don't tell me why today, I will never end it with you."

Mo Rong took out Gio and made a show of sharpening his knife.

The leg-eater was also a little embarrassed. He said the wrong thing in a hurry. It seemed that the person opposite him was also an expert.

"You're such a weirdo, forget it, just treat me as a loser and give you a message."

The Leg Eater sat on the insect corpse nearby and told Murong a little about Mantis Village.

"How about it? This matter is dangerous. I, an honest businessman, can still deceive you."

If the leg-eater was not blind, he would definitely be able to see the speechlessness in Mo Rong's eyes at this time.

How serious is he thinking about this?

"Give me another eighty-six euros, and I'll show you something better."

The leg-eater said mysteriously.

"No."
