As soon as the sun began to appear in the sky, Xian and his companions gathered in the middle of a small village that would be the starting point of their journey to the Forbidden Mountains. Afternoon, the local cultivator who introduced them to this place, had prepared early and looked so excited.
The afternoon, who had a happy face, stood in the middle of the group and said excitedly, "Today is a big day, friends! We will explore the Forbidden Mountains and seek legendary silat! Prepare yourself well!"
Xian, who was always cheerful, stepped closer to Day and threw a wide smile. "Of course, Noon! And you know, even though we're the ones looking for silat, you're the best at singing. Maybe it'll be our secret weapon if we get into trouble there!" Xian spoke in a funny tone, provoking laughter from Mei Mei and the others.
Mei Mei, Xian's ever-optimistic best friend, smiled. "Yes, Afternoon. We've got a good artist among us!" He took a piece of bread from the basket and offered it to Day. "Let's eat before we leave, we'll need energy!"
They sat around a small campfire that they had lit to cook breakfast. Most of their conversations were filled with laughter and laughter. They felt so close to each other, like a family preparing for a big adventure.
After breakfast was over, they began packing their belongings, checking weapons, and tying bags to their backs. Afternoon led them towards the village gate, where their journey was about to begin.
When they arrived at the gate, Siang paused for a moment and faced them. "We will pass through the forest first, and then we will reach the slopes of the Forbidden Mountains. Be careful, but do not forget to always keep our spirit happy, as Xian always taught."
Xian added jokingly, "Yes, don't forget that a smile is our most powerful weapon!"
Mei Mei laughed and nodded in agreement. They stood before the gate, ready to begin their journey to the Forbidden Mountains, with high spirits and a smile on their faces.
The sun had already risen completely, illuminating the thin bridge that hung over the ravine within the Forbidden Mountains. The bridge was made of a rope that seemed to be fragile, and the gentle breeze made it sway with a rumble.
Xian, with a distinctive bravery, decided to be the first to cross. Carefully, he stepped steadily over the bridge. Her every step was followed by the clattering sound of the rope that made Mei Mei, who was standing behind her, feel even more nervous.
Mei Mei looked down at the deep abyss, and her eyes grew. Both of his legs trembled as he tried to step onto the same bridge rope carefully. But as soon as he stepped up, he immediately felt terrified. His body swayed over the ravine, and he held on tightly to the rope.
"Damn it!" muttered Mei Mei with a nervous tone. "It's really scarier than I imagined."
Xian, who was already on the other side, looked fearfully at Mei Mei's face and smiled widely. "Don't worry, May May! It's just an ordinary bridge. Look, I'm here safely."
Mei Mei nodded, trying to calm herself down. He tried to take another step, but his legs were still trembling. His body swayed over the ravine, and he almost fell down.
Xian responded quickly. He picked up the rope of the bridge and started to wiggle it with a funny joke. "Hey, Mei Mei, look, I'm like a hen walking on a leash! Kukukuu!" Xian said while mimicking the sound of a chicken.
After Mei Mei was on the other side, Xian gave her an applause and said, "Great, Mei Mei! Nothing can beat us, especially fear." She then gives Mei Mei a warm hug as an additional consolation.
The two of them continued their journey through the Forbidden Mountains, with high spirits and laughter on their faces. Although the first hurdle has been overcome, they know that there are still many exciting adventures waiting for them inside this mysterious mountain range.
They continued walking through the dense forest within the Forbidden Mountains. The mysterious atmosphere and the strange sounds they heard made them feel tense. The forest was so quiet, except for the sound of the wind whirring and the sound of their slow-moving footsteps.
Suddenly, they heard strange laughter and saw shadows moving among the trees. Xian and Mei Mei immediately stiffened, tightly holding their weapons, while Siang prepared with a defensive position. They know they are not alone there.
The shadows drew closer, and they were soon able to see strange creatures walking towards them. The creatures have an odd shape, with grayish-green skin and big, shiny eyes. They walked with light and gentle steps, like a hovering ghost.
Xian, who was always full of humor, decided to try to get close to the creatures. He realized that this tense atmosphere had to be transformed into something more cheerful. With a bold step, he walked over with a wide smile.
"Hey, guys!" xian said in a friendly tone. "How are you? We were just crossing this forest. There's nothing to worry about."
The creatures paused for a moment, looking bewildered by the presence of these three people. One of the creatures let out a hoarse voice that seemed to be their form of communication.
Xian nodded and explained, "We are looking for the legendary silat here. Do you know how to get there?"
The creatures spoke in a hoarse voice, but there was nothing Xian and his companions could understand. However, Xian did not give up. He begins to pull out a series of hilarious jokes and puzzles in an attempt to tame the creatures.
"Why did the red tomato cross the road? Because his purple car was chasing him!" xian said with a laugh. He continued with other jokes, trying to make the creatures laugh.
Soon, the sound of lively laughter began to be heard from the creatures. They looked overjoyed and began to let out a hoarse voice that seemed to be their form of approval.
Xian, Mei Mei, and Siang were relieved that they had successfully tamed the creatures. They approach the creatures and try to communicate again. This time, the creatures provide clues about the direction they must take to reach the legendary silat.
With thanks, Xian and his friends continued their journey with more confidence. They know that humor and happiness can be powerful weapons, even in situations filled with uncertainty.
