Mantingan. It cannot be said as early as this day. But Mantingan remained awake, in a state of alert as well. He had sensed the existence of a person, who was drifting closer to his campground.

Before going to bed, Mantingan did not turn off the bonfire because he felt the forest was too quiet for the existence of robbers, but now someone approached his camp. Will it be a robber or a flower hunter like Mantingan anyway?

Mantingan hearing is quite sharp after successfully becoming a swordsman, even without sharp hearing science though. Sharp hearing without using the style is not nothing short of, Mantingan still can not hear too detailed.

The sound of his footsteps drew closer, then slowed down. Whoever that person is, he is trying to infiltrate the Mantingan camp.

The mantan grabbed the sword next to the one that had been alerted before his sleep. Despite carrying the sword, Mantingan still tried the peaceful way to solve the problem with the intruder. Mantingan opened the curtain of the tent, then slowly walked out from inside his tent.

Through his sharp hearing, Mantingan knew that the person no longer stepped on the ground. No more footsteps, or even the slightest movement.

The mantan let out a long sigh, the person he was facing right now was not easily defeated in case of a fight. If he can flicker without making a sound, then it can be ascertained that he mastered the science of lightening the body at a high level.

In fighting for example, the science of lightening the body is a big determinant of victory and defeat someone.

The mantel decided to open his voice. “Please show yourself and please speak carefully. Sahaya does not want hostility.”

No answer heard.

“Or answer a word.”

Still no answer heard. Mantenan began to doubt his hearing, but on the other hand he was convinced that the sound of footsteps he heard was the sound of human footsteps. What other animals have two legs besides poultry? The sound of poultry steps will sound like something being dragged, not like what Mantingan heard earlier.

There were two possibilities: the man had left; the man was still in hiding.

To ascertain the truth, Mantingan took the lead to go around. The mantan still does not use his short skills, walking around like an ordinary human. However, in his pretense, Mantingan still exerts energy in his five senses. Until he can better recognize and feel his surroundings.

Mantingan went around several times in his campground, until he finally stopped stepping. A smile spread on his lips.

As well as the person is hiding, he still needs a breath. It was his breath that could be sniffed by Mantingan's smell, but strangely, Mantingan felt familiar with the scent of this breath. More clearly, the scent of breath that person released was the scent of female breath.

In addition to Mantingan can recognize the person as a woman, Mantingan also knows the location of the woman. The woman hid on a tree branch, she jumped with the science of lightening the body, and the tree branch was right on top of Mantingan.

Without hesitation, Mantingan looked up. The woman screamed loudly, sliding down from her perch. The mantan was about to move to catch him, but afraid that the woman felt offended if her body was touched by a foreign man, after all she was sure that she had the science of lightening a tall body. Then Mantingan just let the body of the woman slide straight down.

Bruk!

Indeed, beyond the expectations of Mantingan, the woman still hit the ground like an ordinary man. The still surprised mantan did not know what to do.

Like the word, the best squirrel jumping finally fell anyway.

“Don't surprise me, ouch! Pain once ...”

“Puan, sahaya already warned ...” Manting's speech stopped, he could clearly recognize the voice of the woman. “Away? Why are you here?”

The mantle frowned, was it true that he was called a freak by Dara? In fact, Dara could be called a freak. The place where Mantingan built the tent is clear in the interior of the forest. Very far from the road or even the settlement. So why is Dara here?

But before Mantingan asked that, Mantingan quickly moved to help Dara stand up. Dara did not refuse Mantingan's help, although he complained a lot even though he was helped.

“For what are you here, Dara?” ask Mantingan at the end.

Dara shook her head quickly and laughed awkwardly. “Ah, it's nothing, I just take a walk.”

“It is impossible for you to walk this far.” The mantel stared full of probing. “What's wrong?”

Dara was silent for a while, before finally sighing deeply. His gaze was full of made-up despair.

“Yes, there is actually a problem. But never mind, I have to leave!”

“Do not want to stop by last night? This forest is quite misleading at night.”

“No-no, I have to go from here.” Dara shook her head, staring fearfully at the surroundings.

Dara was like covering up something from Mantingan. And the reason why he's here is the cover-up. Though Mantingan curious, but Mantingan did not want to force Dara further.

“Alright, be careful on the road.” The mantle stretched out his hand, and smiled politely.

However, being treated politely instead made Dara stare at Mantingan annoyed. “Can't you understand a little? Obviously I need protection!”

The mantan retracted his hand and looked at Dara in wonder. “But Nyai himself who wants to leave here immediately.”

Dara growled, “Do you think I'm here by chance? Obviously we've been matchmaking to meet here, you're destined to help me!”

The mantel drew his breath, trying to be patient. “Alright, Nyai, can I help you?”

Dara said, “There is a madman, he is my fan, and he is a great swordsman. Crazy and perverted warrior! Now that he's chasing me, all the way into this forest, you must know what he means if it's already so!”

“How can any madman be a swordsman?”

“He's not a real madman! I call him a madman just a parable, for he is like a madman! Please help me, I'll give you anything!”

It's so good that Dara said that. Lucky Mantingan had no intention of taking anything away from Dara, or demanding revenge though. Mantingan was still willing to help Dara, because this girl had indirectly helped him.

“Nyai, get inside the tent, close the curtain.”

Dara smiled excitedly, nodding before dashing into Mantingan's tent.

The mantel closed his eyes. That way, he can hear more sharply and up to a distance. Mantingan vegetables heard the sound of wind, he could clearly know that it was the sound of a swordsman who shot.

Mantingan. The person he is going to face is not a good person. Even if there has to be a fight, Mantingan is okay. The mantle will kill if needed.

The sound of wind was getting closer, until finally the eyes of the Mantingan opened and could see his form.
