Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"What are we doing here?"

Fast looked at the mine in front of him. There were many miners walking in it. There was also a large-backed beetle pulling several carts of ore parked at the door.

"Are you short of money and want to become a miner?"

Mo Rong ignored the boy, took out the map in his hand, and looked into the depths of the mine.

Since the last time they returned to the City of Tears from Mantis Village, the two of them had some free time. Mo Rong counted his gains in these days. He still had a super sprint and a soul spell, so he had all the early needs. s things.

There happened to be two of them in the Crystal Mountain Peak, so I brought Fast here.

Just used the map I bought earlier.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Mo Rong raised his feet and walked into the mine first. He had only taken a few steps into the mine when he heard some rapid footsteps behind him.

"Hey! Who is that? Stop! Did you show your permit?"

It wasn't until the man's hand put his shoulder that Mo Rong realized he was called.

Looking back, the man's outfit was very similar to that of the miner beside him, except that there was not only a fly lantern on his head, but a whole gray hat, like a contractor.

"I'm sorry, brother, what's the license you're talking about?"

"Permit to enter the mine. You're not a miner. What are you doing here?"

The contractor said angrily, pointing to some crystals on the wall of the mine not far away.

"I can't let you in without a permit. Who knows if you are here to steal the crystal."

Mo Rong also understood and hurriedly said:

"Brother, I'm just an explorer, and I'm not here for the crystals."

"Explorer? That's not possible. Who knows if you are lying to me? You can't go in without a permit."

As he spoke, he pushed Mo Rong and drove them outside.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mo Rong turned around and took the contractor's hand, took out a handful of gios and stuffed it inside.

"you..."

"Brother, it's convenient. I'm really an explorer. If you don't believe me, I'll let you check it when I come out."

Seeing that no one was paying attention, the contractor hurriedly stuffed Gio into his bag and coughed twice.

"What kind of explorer? Where did you come from? Are you not a mining worker here?"

"Okay, okay, don't be annoying here, go in and get to work."

After saying that, he threw a small light fly lantern to Mo Rong and gave a gesture with his eyes.

Mo Rong put on the lantern and hurriedly walked into the mine.

It’s better to use Geo.

......

Walking into the depths of the mine, Mo Rong became more and more suspicious of the necessity of the lantern above his head. Every crystal here exuded a pink shimmer, and the crystals all over the place made the inside of the mine really bright.

In the ears, there is the endless sound of mining picks hoeing ore, and the friction sound of machine tracks reciprocating. The chaotic sound merges into one and echoes in the mine. The people listening are really upset.

The further they walked in, the more branching roads there were in the mine. After walking for a long time, the two of them found that they were walking in circles.

"No, we have to find someone who is familiar with this place to lead the way, otherwise we won't be able to find the place for a long time."

With this thought in mind, he walked to a pile of ore, where many miners were mining. Murong patted one of them on the shoulder and handed over a few Geo.

"Brother, can I ask if there is anyone here who is familiar with the entire mine?"

The man who had been interrupted while digging was frowning and looking back to see who it was, and his expression softened a little when he saw Gio handed over by Murong.

"Are you going to dig inside?"

"Pretty much, I'm here to look for something."

"Looking for something?"

Mo Rong nodded. The man put away the mining pick in his hand and looked Mo Rong up and down. When he saw that he was carrying a lantern, he didn't look like he was here to dig.

"Just tell me where you want to go. Everyone is familiar with the mines here. Only a few people know the general idea. You give me some key information and I will show you the way."

Seeing him say this, Mo Rong was not satisfied. He remembered that there was a large insect body where he took the super sprint, so he told the miner some details.

After hearing this, the miner looked at Mo Rong with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and asked tentatively:

"Are you here to study those things? I've never seen you before."

"Uh, um...yes, I'm here to study those things, but it's my first time here and I don't know the way."

Seeing Mo Rong hesitating, the miner curled his lips after hearing this and compared numbers with his hands.

"Thirty Geo, I'll take you there."

Mo Rong nodded, not wanting to argue with anyone any more, and gave him the money readily.

The man put away the money and asked Mo Rong to wait for a while, put the things with his colleagues on the other side, said a few words and returned to Mo Rong, waving to follow him.

Without doubting his presence, Mo Rong followed the miner towards the fork on the other side.

After a long while, the group of people took a different path than the one he remembered taking, but they still took a long detour.

"I said, brother, how long does it take for us to arrive."

"Tsk, don't rush me. I'm looking for it too. There are so many mines, so I have to spend time identifying them."

After walking for a while, the miner in front finally stopped. Mo Rong missed his body and looked forward. Apart from the ore embedded in the wall, there was no opening. After walking for a long time, he reached a dead end. Mo Rong Rong suddenly said dissatisfied:

"Brother, you charge me thirty euros and bring me to this place, isn't that right?"

"No? What's wrong?"

"There's not even a soul around here. You walked around for a long time and then you came here?"

"There's no human figure anywhere, isn't that right?"

As he spoke, the miner whistled, and three or four people with mining picks came up from behind, staring at Mo Rong with unkind eyes.

Mo Rong looked at them, then looked at the miner, frowned and said:

"Brother, what do you mean? Are you planning to ask someone to dig one out for me?"

The miner also laughed out loud after hearing this. He walked to the middle of the people beside the company and pointed a mining pick at Mo Rong.

"I didn't expect you to be quite humorous, but do you think it's your turn to be humorous now?"

The voice suddenly became fierce. The miner stared greedily at the robe on Mo Rong. If he could casually give him thirty euros as travel expenses, he must have a hundred and eighty.

"We don't want to embarrass anyone. If you are wise enough to hand over Gio, we can let you go."

After saying this, Mo Rong's reaction was not as panicked as he expected. He looked at the bug behind him, and there seemed to be some... pity in his eyes?

"If you don't reply, right? If you don't speak, you will never be able to speak again in your life. Come on, brothers!"

Fast's eyes irritated the miner, and he rushed up with a mining pick.

Mo Rong sighed. He had already guessed when he led the way, and he thought the people here were too simple.

Pulling out the bone nails from their backs, they eliminated the miners in front of them with three strokes, five divisions and two strokes. The long-term labor only gave them strength that was stronger than that of ordinary people, but other than that, they had no other highlights.

Looking at the ore growing on the rotting corpse not far away, you can't see it unless you look carefully.

"Isn't this the first time you have done something like this? You want to steal someone's fortune when you see it. You are really a bunch of scum."

The leading miner still wanted to struggle, but was pinned to the ground by Mo Rong's bone nail, and slowly died.

When everyone saw that Mo Rong was highly skilled in martial arts and that the leader had died under his bone nails, they decided to retreat and hurriedly ran out.

But it's a pity that I can't outrun sprint and slash.

Only one of the people was left shivering on the spot. He wanted to stand up and run away, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up. He hurriedly kowtowed to Mo Rong and said:

"Uncle, it's me who can't see Taishan. Just let me go and I'll give you all the Gio I have."

The words that came out of the trembling mouth were all indistinct. While talking, the man took out the Geo from his body, and there were dozens of them scattered here and there.

Mo Rong was not polite and asked him to search for the Geo on the people under him. He came and went and made hundreds of dollars.

"You, listen, I need you to help me lead the way to a place now, do you understand?"

Then he told the miner in front of him those details again.

The miner was only thinking about escaping now, so he dared to lead Mo Rong, so he shook his head crazily.

"I...I don't know where you are talking about, I...I don't know..."

Mo Rong didn't talk much nonsense to him, and directly put the bone nail on his neck, and his voice became cold.

"Do you know now?"

"Sir, please be merciful, I...I know! I know! I will take you there right now."

The miner climbed up in embarrassment, carefully removed Mo Rong's bone nails, and walked forward slowly.

Mo Rong looked at his back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Bone nails are better.
