Flash back on...
When the seepage of blood dripped slowly just above the forehead of the hairy tiger squirrel who was lying limp with a bloodbath.
Cringg....
The blinding light came so quickly and lasted a little longer.
Together with the loss of light appeared a sign right on the tiger's forehead. Mark a star with a circumference of water around it.
"Damn what happened to me" the tiger's great-grandson who has now turned into a squirrel returns.
"It looks like we have a contract." said Bao lazy. Especially if you have to have a contract animal like that squirrel. He was very sorry that he did not kill him immediately.
"Heyy. I heard the voice of your heart.." cried the squirrel running agilely towards him with a state that has returned to fitness only the fur is still dirty mixed with blood and soil.
Bao glanced at me as he said"Huu"
"Heeyy... You think I want to be your contract animal huh?? If only I had used the strength of the eleman I had" replied the squirrel did not accept the words of his master now, and he still admitted defeat.
"Mistake it yourself ngeremehin opponents, you think all your opponents are weak, hey remember that in a small herd of ants there are stout ants that can attack you at any time."
"Cihh.." the squirrel did not like the advice of his new master.
"So now you tell me what you know, and track down my lord's whereabouts" Bao pinta said as he walked ahead to wash the new apple he could near the river.
"Ohhh!!" The grunts of the squirrel turned his face.
"There is an apple." he threw one green apple at the squirrel who snorted annoyedly on the tree branch.
"I know you're hungry, so eat it. I just picked it up from there." Point Bao towards the apple tree that looks lush with green apples hanging beautifully spoil the eyes and can satisfy hunger.
The hungry squirrel just caught the fruit and ate it greedily.
"Can I call you Ao?" Tanya Bao began to accept the squirrel as her contracted animal. One apple Bao threw again at the squirrel he now named Ao.
"Suit.." said the squirrel, agreeing to Bao's given name, and then continuing to eat.
............
"So this is a forest of one thousand and one fifth level?" Tanya Bao did not believe the story Ao had just told.
"Yes, besides this here is the dwelling place of the Fire Dragon which is one of the strongest Divine Beasts. He lives in this forest as a regulator of life so that not infrequently rare animals can live freely roam here." Added.
"What's the connection??" Bao asked with a confused look.
"Foolish base.." cetus Ao made Boa frown.
"It's better to ask than to be silent and not know the way" Bao said, not wanting to be said to be stupid by his contract animal.
"Surah." Ao's small hand trying to reach the apple in the bag of Bao.
"You won't get it if you don't answer my question" Bao said, retrieving the fruit from Ao's hands.
"Ciihh. pelitt.." taunted Ao.
"No matter.." Bao replied sticking out his tongue.
"Alright, "said Ao resigned, "the fire dragon that resides here greatly affects the ecosystem that occurs in this forest. Many rare animals live because they get help. And this forest has been locked by him for 5,000 years to avoid the entry of natural destructive creatures that are none other than humans."
"What really happened before the lockdown??"tanya Bao was still curious.
"It happened because of the likeness of humans, where they tried to seize all natural treasures without the intention to fix it. Humans are breaking into almost all forests and want to get rare animals for personal gain. Until one day they came to this forest and took one after another of the rare animals by force. The fire dragon who knew it was wrathful and finished off all the humans who set foot in this forest at that time, he released one after another rare animal from his contract. And finally he locked this forest to keep it out of human reach." Obviously Ao makes Boa know the reason why Ao is so arrogant and does not like humans.
"Yayayaa.."
"What happened to the dragon?? Isn't it doing something like that sort of ritual that must be at risk??"
"Therefore we the inhabitants of this forest do not know for sure, which we know since then the fire dragon never appeared. But we believe the dragon still protects us within his reach. And many thought that the fire dragon was restoring his calm in one of the caves that people could not enter carelessly. Only what he allows can enter." Ao explained as he felt an aura within the forest.
"We feel the human air, and it seems to be your master." Ao suddenly said.
" what about the distance"
"The distance is so far, it seems that he is not alone, but I do not feel the energy of the pressure, all I feel is human air." Bright Ao clarifies the indara of his invaders. In his mind there was a girl walking with a man, the shadow was very abstract and black and white. It shows that the distance is very far, maybe hundreds of kilometers more.
"Let's continue the journey, and help me track down her whereabouts" Bao said, patting her butt gently to clean up her white hanfu stained with dirt dust.
..........
The journey goes so fast that night comes to see.
Bao and Ao decided to rest while waiting for the day to change.
"Engghh.." lenguh Bao while staring at Ao who was eating the bagged apples he was carrying.
"Ao!! Throw the apple" Bao's pinta rubbed his eyes slowly.
"Don't want to." - sneered Ao as he ran around carrying the bag with him.
"Aoooooo...!!!!!!!" Bao shouted annoyed and rushed up from his sleep then tried to chase after Ao who ran away from him.
"Aoooo..stop!!!" Shouted again but completely ignored.
Ao continued to run away, in fact he sensed that the girl his master was looking for was near, and he sensed that they were walking steadily closer.
'Maybe the girl he was looking for was also looking for her (Bao) inner squirrel.
Until finally, a shrub Ao fell and made all the apples in his bag fall and pierced by the branches of the bush.
"Aaoooo" cried Bao staring at the squirrel who had now fallen right beside a shrub.
"Sialll." Ao's tragic fall.
Bao stepped closer, it made the bushes sway.
"You all right?" Tanya Bao stared at the squirrel's body which looked so dirty with sticky soil stuck to it.
"You ask ?? Do you really not see how I am?" Upset Ao lamented his unlucky fate, he really did not want something like this to happen to him.
Bao only shot a shoulder and tried to walk through the thicket.
The bush was increasingly swaying, until Bao was caught by surprise when he managed to break through Semak and get.............
