Finding a Black Wood Tree

Puguh and Widura were silent for a while. But the look in their eyes showed that they were trying to quickly learn the situation of the place they were going through.

The place where the black wood grew was a small square with a pitch black soil, which was surrounded by a very wide muddy land and the water was also deep black. In the muddy land was also overgrown with shrub trees that had branches and twigs that were very much and had a height of about three fathoms. Some of the roots of the shrub trees appear to the surface.

Which makes the muddy ground is difficult to pass, because the shrub tree trees grow irregularly, so if passing through it must be winding.

"It's muddy ground and the water is pitch black. That means, if you cross this muddy land, it should have reached the place where the black wood grew," Puguh said in his heart.

"What do you think, Adi Puguh ?" ask Widura to Puguh.

Since the fight against two stealth snakes yesterday, Widura's view of Puguh is much different. Although Puguh was still a child with seven years less age, now Widura views Puguh as a comrade-in-arms, no longer as his junior in college.

"Of the three things that exist, in my estimation, the most dangerous is the path of the tree, the leg," replied Puguh, "I'm sorry if my estimate is wrong."

"Sama, adi Puguh. I have that estimate too. The water is dark black and muddy it looks scary, but, as long as we want to get dirty a little, it will be safer for us to go through it," continued Widura, "It's only if we go through the muddy dirt track, but it's not, it's gonna meander, take a long time and there's a good chance we're gonna get lost."

"Not to mention, there may be another danger, Widura's leg," Puguh said.

"We rest first Puguh. Since we don't know how wide, this muddy ground is !" watura.

"Widura's brother !" reply Puguh.

The two of them finally sat down to rest while trying to recover their inner strength.

An hour later, Puguh and Widura were ready to continue their journey. They both began to walk down the muddy ground with different depths. Sometimes in one place the mud is knee-deep, sometimes it has to pass through mud whose depth is as high as Puguh's waist, even had to pass the depth of Puguh's neck.

During the walk down the muddy ground, relatively smooth and safe, there were no obstacles, although Puguh and Widura felt like someone was watching from the shrub trees they passed.

Finally, after about two hours they walked down the muddy ground, the small plains where the black wood grew were visible before the eyes.

Puguh and Widura slowly ascended the land to the small land. The two of them immediately looked at the surroundings vigilantly, especially paying attention to the state of the tree growing on the small plains.

By walking forward slowly, they tried to find what their task was.

In a moment, they finally found a black wood tree that had fallen towards the muddy ground and most of its trunk went into the black mud.

With a heart, the two of them approached the fallen tree trunk. After finding the part of the tree trunk that characterizes the character intended by their teacher, Ki Bajrapadsa, the, they quickly picked out a large one as big as an adult's thigh and cut off the blackwood trunk with their cleaver, as they both wanted to get out of the Alas Ombo forest.

Just finished cutting the tree trunk they lifted from the mud and just about to bind it, suddenly there was a very heavy snarl accompanied by a loud tremor on the ground that felt like an earthquake.

Gggrr !!!

Puguh and Widura who were very surprised, immediately approached each other and looked at their eyes busy looking for the direction of the sound source.

Their vision stopped as they looked towards the middle of the small plain, where the largest blackwood tree on the small plain grew.

The tree has a circumference of about five fathoms or decoys of five adults holding hands. On the bottom trunk of the largest blackwood tree, there was a shadow about twice the height of an adult human body with two glowing red dots.

Puguh and Widura felt a tremor of danger as they looked at the two red flames from the shadow.

Not to lose his surprise, the two of them were surprised again by the sound.

"Ggrrn ...... !!! Man ! What do you mean by coming here !"

Simultaneously with the completion of the voice, there was a thudding sound like something extremely heavy was falling to the ground.

Ouummm !!!

Puguh and Widura again felt a tremor in the ground they were stepping on. Then there was a debuman that was slightly weaker than the first one, but repeated.

Puguh and Widura had to raise their heads to look.

A moment later, in front of them stood a towering stealth ape twice the height of an adult human body.

The demon ape was heavily hairy with a pitch-black color. His eyes were red-colored. His mouth grinned revealing two pairs of large and long fangs.

"Ggrrn .... !!! Man ! Why don't you answer my question !" ask the demon monkey.

Widura and Puguh were surprised to see the demon monkey talking.

"Ggrrn ... ! Yes ... waaabbb !!!" yelled the ape.

"Aaa .. we ... just want ... take the stick of black wood !" answer Widura.

"As long as I'm guarding this area, no one is allowed to take anything from this place !" snatch the stealth monkey.

"Leave this place !" snapped at the stealth monkey again as it drew closer to Puguh and Widura's place, "Or I'll make this plant fertilizer !"

Puguh and Widura were silent. They still do not have the ids of what they will do to deal with this situation they did not expect.

"Basic man !!!" shouted the stealth monkey while lightly jumping towards Puguh and Widura.

Despite its large height, it turns out that the stealth monkey can move quickly.

Once jumped, the stealth monkey almost reached the place where Puguh and Widura stood, while raising his clenched right hand.

"Didn't be a Puguh !" watura shouted at the sight of a large hand about to hit them.

Puguh jumped to the left, while Widura jumped to the right and coincidentally landed in the direction of the lying of wood they planned to bring.

Ohhmm !!!

The demon monkey's right hand hit the black ground where Puguh and Widura were standing.

Once the hit did not hit the target, the monkey growled while facing Widura.

Ggrr ... !!!

The position of the Widura became sandwiched between the muddy ground and the stealth apes.

With a single jump, the two legs of the stealth monkey landed on the spot where Widura was standing.

Ouummm !!!

Fortunately, Widura immediately jumped back, so as to avoid the foot lunge of the stealth monkey and landed right next to the piece of black wood.

However, it turns out that the position of Widura landed increasingly makes himself cornered.

Meanwhile, the stealth monkey grew furious when his footsteps did not hit the target and roared loudly, while both hands were raised upwards.

Ggrr .... Aaarrrggghhh !!!

Suddenly the stealth monkey was pushed forward two steps when someone hit his nape.

Bruuuaaakkk !!!

"Rear of Widura, quickly take the black wood away ! Let me keep this damn ape busy !" puguh shouted as he floated landing on the left side of the stealth monkey, after both legs managed to hit the nape of the demon monkey until pushed two steps.
