Survival: Dark, Brutal, Gripping

Mysterious Nest

About 10 minutes from where they saw a bamboo tree that was quite lush in front of them, the bamboo tree was on the edge of the river.

" Fuh. Finally, meet you too." they said compactly.

Johan and Ahmad approached the bamboo tree, with their multipurpose knives for cutting bamboo.

" I'll see over there, Jo. Looks like the one there is better, straight." said Ahmad.

" Ooo well, hurry up and we'll start the fun." Johan said.

Ahmad headed for a bamboo grove, where the place was like an oxygen-filled room.

" Aah, it's cold in here. I felt like I was breathing clean air, without any pollution. Very comfortable." said Ahmad.

He looked around, until he saw a nest.

" What's that nest?" ask in his heart. Ahmad tried to look closer to the nest.

" I think this is the first time I've seen a nest like this. If bird nests are usually in trees, if chickens don't seem to be, tigers don't seem to nest." he murmured inwardly.

Out of curiosity he tried to dismantle the nest, and it turned out that the nest was a nest..

" Geez, this is a snake nest, once there is one snake egg that hatched but died" said Ahmad.

He grew curious and tried to recognize what kind of snake he saw. Meanwhile, Johan, who had obtained a suitable bamboo for his fishing line, was upset that Ahmad had been away for so long.

" Where else did Ahmad, make me wait really not my taste" Johan said.

Then Johan took the initiative to follow Ahmad, by entering further into the bamboo grove. When Johan arrived at Ahmad's place, he found that Ahmad was watching a nest. With his ignorant initiative, Johan wanted to surprise Ahmad by sneaking in from behind.

" One.two..Whoa!" yelled Johan in a loud voice. A surprised Ahmad almost fainted.

" Fuck, you startled me, I almost fainted, my heart was almost gone" Ahmad said with a grim face.

" Yes ,sorry. Because you've been here too long, I'm tired of waiting." Johan explained.

" I'm sorry, Jo. I forgot the time, hehe." said Ahmad, followed by a laugh.

" What exactly are you doing ? I noticed from a distance you were very serious about watching the nest." asked Johan.

" Oiya, actually earlier when I entered this territory, I found a nest, at first I thought it was a bird's nest but after I saw a snake's sapling, I knew it was a snake's nest." terang Ahmad's.

" snake? hii come on Mad, I'm horrified to talk about snakes" Johan said.

" Well sucked you, Jo." said Ahmad.

" Since the day I was looking for you, I was stuck in a snake in my leg and couldn't walk for a few days" Johan replied.

" Yeah, whatever it is, as long as we don't bother 'we won't do anything. Let's just say we're studying living things directly, what's the term herping right?" ahmad.

" If it's another animal I don't care but if it's a snake, I don't go along with it" Johan said, turning around and leaving Ahmad.

" Jo wait a minute Jo." cried Ahmad.

" No no no no, I won't." replied Johan.

" It's okay Jo, but look in front of you!" Ahmad shouted again.

At first , Johan was seen ignoring Ahmad's howl, but after he looked ahead 'it turns out there was a snake of size big enough to be right in the way. Instantly Johan was frightened and returned to Ahmad.

" Fuck, it's hard for me" Johan said.

Johan's feelings were mixed, he felt afraid when he saw the big snake in front of his eyes directly, but he was also upset because Ahmad he was trapped in the place. Now Johan was just thinking of a way that he could get Ahmad out of that place.

" The snake stood up, like it was ready to strike at any time or else it felt threatened" Johan said.

With Johan's fear and anxiety there was no way he would be able to find a way at least to save himself.

" It looks like it's Jo's cobra. But he is large and does not try to spout can" said Ahmad.

" And one more thing, I think the snake is trying to survive if suddenly it gets attacked" he added.

" One thing is certain and must be to save ourselves" Johan said.

" Maybe this is the egg of the serpents." whispered Johan in Ahmad's ear.

" In that case, before we are considered a threat to the eggs of the snake, we walk slowly, do not make a sudden movement, okay." Ahmad asked.

" Okay." Johan agreed to Ahmad's idea.

The two of them walked slowly to take a detour, a path far enough to get out of the bamboo trees. Slowly but surely, that's the picture of their successful plan. They survived without a single injury.

" It's a good thing we survived, otherwise beeh would have stayed the name" Johan said.

" Haha right Jo. It is inconceivable to be bitten by a king cobra, just imagining the horror of the venom alone has made me worry." Ahmad added.

" Have it, forget it, we're back to our original plan how?" take Johan to Ahmad.

" Well, are we going to a fishing race this time? because you're my rival but you can never defeat me." Ahmad quipped.

" This time I can definitely defeat me, say for your defeat Ahmad" Johan said seriously.

" We will see later, yes, do not be disappointed if you lose." again Ahmad said.

The clock is 14:35, it's almost afternoon and they haven't even started fishing. Suddenly, on the way, their focus is distracted by the discovery of a new object the first time they both see.

" Ahmad, can you see that thing." asked Johan while pointing towards the hole in the ground.

" Yes could. But it looks foreign." replied Ahmad.

" Let's take a look for a minute, who knows it's a treasure, like a pirate for example" Johan said in a joking tone.

" It's not like it, because it's less" replied Ahmad who then followed the laughter of the two of them.

" It looks like Jo's lair." Ahmad said.

" Another nest. Reassure me that this is not a snake's nest." - Johan.

" Not a snake but a crocodile" Ahmad joked.

" This Jo is just a hole in the ground, nothing to worry about. All right, we'll take ya." he added.

Ahmad then took the object that caught their attention, with his hand he ventured to take it directly. After much effort, he finally managed to reach it. Slowly, he pulled out of the hole and slowly began to appear. It was an heirloom, that's what they believed.

" Wah Jo, this is Jo's heirloom." cried Ahmad.

" Hush, be quiet lest our friends know it" Johan reminded Ahmad.

However, there is an oddity when you want to get out of the hole. The original heirloom, like a small keris and a stone, felt very heavy after being exposed to sunlight. But when in the darkness these objects are very light or like objects with normal weight.
