CHAPTER 4, BEHIND THE MAP



Return to the figure of Danang who slowly rediscovered his consciousness.


And the roar and feel pain in the right chest and feel the heat all over his body due to the influence of poison frog and snake spoon that was sprayed on the arrow that pierced his chest.


He forced it to pluck an arrow from his chest. Blood gushed again until Danang felt very weak.


With the rest of his consciousness, Danang walked slowly trying to get out of the Ketonggo Alas Forest, but it turned out that the direction he took was wrong to bring him more and more into the forest.


In the middle of the forest when the sun was about to set, Danang found a cave and crawled into the cave with the rest of his strength.


“I must endure, I must not die, I must meet Kanjeng Romo,”duk Danang.


The more into the cave, Danang is unable to see because the dark atmosphere in the cave, plus the sun has set.


Finally Danang can only crawl and follow his instincts.


Finally Danang forced his body that was getting hot to stand and walk even though he was swept away.


He faintly saw the light not far in front of him and slowly strode towards the light. His faint feet felt increasingly violent tremors. Lindu !


The whole cave was shaking violently! His feet that had been painstakingly shaking to support his body could not survive the longing that occurred, Danang was knocked strong.


Byuur.


Danang resigned, “Till here my death?” his inner.


In a shivering state, he felt the heat in his body drop so quickly that his consciousness rapidly decreased again.


When the power is almost exhausted, suddenly from within his body to burst into a consciousness to be able to make him rise up as if gaining new energy.


Danang slowly swam to the edge and crawled up from the pool.


His breath panted withstanding the cold. He noticed that the loud vibrations had stopped.


After some time his body began to get used to the situation and his body heat gradually returned as usual.


He began to notice his surroundings and was amazed.


It turned out that the light he had seen came from the rocks attached to the cave wall with a considerable amount. Then even more amazed when he found his body no longer felt the heat whack and his breath no longer stinged.


“Any, is the effect of the poison gone? My body feels like it's back like it's not experiencing anything.”batinnya while feeling his right chest that was pierced by an arrow.


More surprised when he found the wound on his chest had closed and left only a little scar.


Finally Danang lay down on a stone shaped rather flat and fell asleep.


When Danang finally opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the situation in the cave.


His head looked up and found a hole in the ceiling of the cave so that sunlight could break through. He saw two ponds that reflected smoke, one was very cold, the other was very hot.


“I have to go back to the house of Kanjeng Romo.”he thought.


Then he took his foot forward the first time he entered the cave.


How surprised Danang when he saw an avalanche of rocks covering the entrance of the cave.


“Celaka, I can't get out of here.”he thought. Finally Danang decided to go back into the cave and sit on the rock where he fell asleep last night and pensive while watching the surrounding situation looking for a way out.


The breeze felt him from a direction and when he turned he saw the light from a distance. “It sure is the end of this goa.” He decided to walk towards the light.


Danang felt the path through which it was getting longer and more down, and when it reached the end of the cave mouth he saw rocks scattered on the edge of the cave mouth.


"For sure because I missed last night the mouth of the cave that one closed and the mouth of the cave in front of me became open.”he thought.


When he came out of the mouth of the cave he saw a vast expanse of grassland with several trees and a lake, as well as high cliffs surrounding the plain.


Danang also walked around the plains while observing. “Hmm..it seems like there is no way out of here. The cliffs are very high and very steep. There's no way I can climb it.”


He also saw many forest chickens and fruit trees and fish in the lake.


"At least I can survive for a while here.”he thought. Then Danang began to take some bananas to prop up his hungry stomach.


While eating, his eyes looked around him and his gaze fell on a small cave on the west side cliff.


"Could there be a way out of that little cave?” thought.


After his stomach felt full enough, he stepped towards the cave.


Arriving at the mouth of the cave which was only one and a half times as tall as an adult and about two spears wide, Danang decided to enter it.


It turned out that by just stepping around the three spears the cave was deadlocked.


There is a box at the end of the wall. Carefully Danang approached the crate and opened it.


“This is...”.
