Hollow Knight: Hallownest

He had just watched the battle between the two. To be honest, Mo Rong just wanted to escape immediately after saving Gallian. He didn't care whether the hunter was joking on him or not. He was worse against the hunter now than against Marcos.

At least Morong still knew Marcos's skills, but as for the hunter, he couldn't be sure from just the brief battle.

Seeing that the hunter not far away just stared at him without making any movement, Mo Rong slowly touched Galian's side, took his hand and put him on his neck.

The next moment, Mo Rong stretched out his mantis claws and climbed up, intending to get rid of the place in front of him immediately.

"You want to escape?"

Upon seeing this, the hunter did not step forward to stop him. Instead, he grabbed a handful of gravel and threw it at Mo Rong.

Mo Rong, who was driving Galian with one hand and clinging to the wall with the other, had no way to defend himself, so he had to let go of his hand on the wall and summon a shining tortoise shell to resist.

The impact of the gravel hitting the tortoise shell made Mo Rong's hands tremble. At this time, his thoughts coincided with Gallian's.

"Let me go, is the hunter so strong?"

After replacing the ruined flower in his body with a stable body, Mo Rong looked at the hunter not far away and knew that he could not take Galien away safely.

"Hunter, how can you let him go?"

Mo Rong walked forward slowly holding the tortoise shell and said to the hunter.

"Let go of prey? A good hunter will never let go of his prey."

"unless......"

The hunter looked at Mo Rong with a fighting spirit that had not been aroused for a long time, and his hoarse voice trembled with his restless mood.

"Unless there is a prey that is more attractive to hunters!"

Before the words could be fully finished, the hunter's figure had already disappeared in front of Mo Rong's eyes, and even his voice was torn into fragments by the speed. The next moment, a fang had already stabbed into Mo Rong's back.

From the moment he disappeared, Mo Rong's fighting instinct had already turned the tortoise shell behind him.

"Ding~"

The impact of this blow knocked Mo Rong back several steps, but fortunately he was not hurt.

"Your shield is very strong."

The hunter appeared not far away, turned his wrist to look at the fangs in his palm, and then looked at the tortoise shell on Murong's hand, and couldn't help but admire it.

"I'm curious, who is better between your shield and my fangs."

After that, the hunter attacked Mo Rong again, this time from the front.

Murong held a shield in one hand and a bone nail in the other to gain momentum. He spotted the moment when the hunter struck and swung out a powerful slash.

The collision between the fangs and the bone nails produced a burst of sparks, and this time it was the hunter's turn to be surprised.

"Does your power come from the mystery in your body?"

This attack was evenly matched by both sides. The hunter dodged and retreated again, throwing aside the fangs in his hands. His bony hands rubbed against each other. He slightly bent his body and prepared to attack Mo Rong again, but he stopped him with a shout.

"and many more!"

The hunter paused and said doubtfully:

"What's the matter?"

This was the first time that he was interrupted during hunting. Of course, it had to be Mo Rong. If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have stopped.

"Since you want to fight me, can you let me send him away first?"

Murong pointed at Gallian who was on the ground beside him. The hunter was silent for a moment, with unclear meaning in his eyes.

"How do I know you didn't take the opportunity to escape?"

"What if I could prove it?"

The hunter just looked at Mo Rong and didn't answer.

Upon seeing this, Mo Rong called Kui Ruo above him to come down, removed the mantis claw from his hand, and waved it in the direction of the hunter.

"You must know this thing."

Then he handed it to Quiruo in front of the hunter.

"Equip the Mantis Claw and send it to Gallian, do you understand?"

"Give me the mantis claw, what will you do? No, no, no."

Kui Ruo shook his head repeatedly. Although he had never owned a mantis claw, he knew its purpose. No matter how deep the stone wall was, he could still climb up slowly with it. But when he came up, what would Mo Rong do?

Mo Rong couldn't help but put the mantis claw on Kui Ruo's hand and said seriously:

"There is only one way now. If you believe me, take him up first. If you leave him here, I won't be able to let go."

Seeing Mo Rong's vow, Kui Ruo hesitated for a while, but seeing that he was really sure, he nodded after thinking for a moment.

"Then please pay attention to safety, I will send him up first."

Then he whispered again:

"Shout loudly if you need my help. That should catch him off guard."

Then Quiruo drove Gallian up, while the hunter and Murong faced off on the same spot. He really let Mo Rong rescue Gallian.

As early as when Mo Rong entered the cave, he used the Flower of Ruins to see a downward passage not far away. If Kuiruo dropped the mantis claw, he might be able to escape from there.

But when he saw the hunter's speed, he completely gave up this idea.

The hunter's attacks are fast and powerful, and blind defense is no longer useless.

Mo Rong took off the shining tortoise shell on his body and put in a new talisman.

Mask of Compassion.

A familiar feeling came from the body again. The last time it happened was when he was fighting the Mantis Lord.

"Overloaded?"

Mo Rong removed the stable body again, but the feeling still did not disappear.

"Or is it overloaded?"

If he remembered correctly, he had three talisman slots at the beginning of the game. If he did the same, including the one he bought from Saluba, there were already four talisman slots, but he still couldn't hold it. Live the compassion mask?

In this case, Mo Rong simply put on the shining tortoise shell first, and then put the compassion mask into his body.

"Come on, hunter, let's see which one of us is the prey!"

Murong picked up the bone nails and ran towards the hunter. Seeing this, the hunter did not choose to confront him head-on. Instead, he grabbed the ground with his head and escaped into the soil.

He could detect that Mo Rong's body had changed in the short period of time just now. Facing his menacing attack, the hunter's instinct told him that he had to avoid the limelight first and then make plans.

"He can still do this?!"

Mo Rong, who was in the air, couldn't help but feel a headache when he looked at the bulges moving on the ground.

Isn't this an exclusive skill for Brother Finda? Without Desolate Dive, he has nothing to do against hunters now.

Mo Rong hurriedly sprinted to a corner of the cave, so that he would not be surrounded by enemies from all sides, and he could also see the hunter's attack trend.

Mo Rong on the ground was wondering if he was a hunter underground. He thought that Mo Rong's change just now was like that of Gallian who was in a desperate situation, but it had been a while, and the changes in Mo Rong's body were different from what he felt. There is still no change at all.

"This guy is really different!"

The hunter no longer hides underground and speeds up to drill towards Mo Rong's position.

The raised dirt tracks on the ground kept getting closer to Mo Rong, and he also felt the hostility coming from the ground.

"Are you coming?"

The soil on the ground burst open, and two skeletal hands stretched out first, and then the bloody mouth bit at Mo Rong above.

Whirlwind chop!

The moment the hunter broke out of the ground, Mo Rong had already jumped up high. Both of them were in a state of stiffness in the air, but Mo Rong had a moth-wing cloak to help him change positions.

The constantly rotating bone nails hit the hunter, and little bits of soul light continued to replenish Mo Rong's body.

"Ugh!"

This blow hurt the hunter, and he flew back quickly. He covered his wound and couldn't help but sigh.

"You can actually hurt me?"

The gazes in his three pairs of eyes gradually became sharp, and he slowly walked aside and picked up two fangs.

"Top prey, you are qualified to let me use my full strength!"

Mo Rong saw the hunter with his hands crossed and his fangs on his chest. He seemed to be crawling, and his legs were bent on the ground like crickets.

The next moment, sand and rocks were flying, and the hunter used the twisting force from his body to rush towards him like a high-speed rotating drill, threatening to smash him to pieces.

"Fuck! What kind of move is this?!"

With Mo Rong's size, the hunter's attack was like a man walking on the street. Suddenly a high-speed rotating dump truck drove towards him. Not to mention whether it could hit him or not, ordinary people would be killed if they saw it. Half of them were frightened.

The death threat forced Mo Rong to jump up quickly and slash down hard with the bone nail. However, the bone nail collided with the whirlwind, like a paper boat being sucked into the whirlpool. Mo Rong was directly hit by it. It was thrown to the wall aside and slowly slid down.

"Puff~"

Mo Rong was shaken by this force, as if his heart and lungs were displaced, and his whole body was in severe pain. After taking a long breath, he reluctantly held the bone nails to support himself on the ground.

Seeing that the attack was effective, the hunter's momentum continued unabated and swept towards him again.

Looking at the approaching hunter, Mo Rong's subconscious kept urging him to move because if he took this blow.

He will most likely die!

Seeing that the hunter was less than ten steps away, Mo Rong quickly activated his moth-wing cloak and dodged aside, but the sand and stones around him were still being swept away.

Mo Rong turned his head to look, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw the hunter's whirlwind twisting slightly and attacking him again!

This is still a tracking skill!

There was no other way, so Mo Rong had no choice but to hold up the shining tortoise shell and pray that he could resist this move.

The next moment, a vigorous figure quickly fell from above and came to Mo Rong's side.

"Brother Morong, let me help you!"
