The day began to fall into the afternoon. But the Steel Swordsman had not yet found the way he was looking. So too with the six other warriors.
The seven warriors began to feel anxious. For if, darkness has enveloped the surrounding, dashed hope to get out of the hill of the Devil. It is even death that they will meet!
Basically, Bukit lblis is indeed a haunted and terrible place. No one can get out of this place safely. Because, on the hill there are many animals that are very venomous and living mud that suck anything that passes on it. Moreover, the large tree‐tree that grows around it, further adding to the awesomeness alone.
Ever since inhabited by a very evil heretic, Devil's Hill looks more haunted. Misguided figures also add trap‐traps that are no less dangerous. Even in that place it is also made in such a way that it can mislead people who come uninvited!
The winding roads‐liku and berkotak‐box it, made similar to each other. It is difficult to distinguish from each other. Sometimes the warriors met a dead end covered in thickets, so they had to return to their original place. Truly a confusing place!
At that moment, the two warriors heading towards the West had arrived at a large grass field. Grass‐grass that grows in that place is indeed not too high, most‐most only the size of an arrow.
The two warriors were most glanced at each other, as if asking for their respective opinions. Uncommanded, they nodded in unison. With full vigilance, the two warriors stepped into the grassy field area. They were about two meters apart. Suddenly‐tiba....
Bress!
The grass that was trampled on one of them slashed to the knee. With all his might he tried to get out of the mud. But how surprised the swordsman, when felt every movement actually adds more and more to the sludge suction power.
"Adi Ragil, tolooong .. !" with a pale face the warrior shouted for help his friend.
The person called Ragil gasped in shock when he saw his friend slumped to the waist. Quick as lightning Ragil immediately approached his friend.
"Adi Ragil! Don't come any closer! Stay away from this grassy area. Hurry...!" the swordsman shouted to warn Ragil who was heading towards him.
Too late! Suddenly, Ragil's body had exploded in the grass he was treading.
"Rear Juminta, watch out! It's living mud!" shout Ragil. His face was deathly pale.He revolted to free himself from the deadly mud that pinned him down. But the more violently it rebelled, the deeper its body became!
Not playing with Ragil's fear when he saw this reality. Shameless‐malu again, he howled as strong as‐kuannya
"Tolooong...! Tolooong...!"
Ragil's screams echoed around the place. Fifth, the other swordsman, simultaneously ran towards his original place. The Steel Swordsman arrived earlier than the others. For a moment they all looked at each other with tense faces!
"Where are Ragil and Juminta?" tanya Ki Teja Laksana aka the Steel Swordsman to four of his friends.
"It must have come from them, Ki" exclaimed a pockmarked swordsman.
Without wasting any more time, the five warriors immediately shot towards the West. They ran while following the sign‐the sign that Ragil and Juminta had made. Of course the trip was not as fast as expected, because it had to stop to look for signs‐marks made by his two friends. A short time later, the five warriors arrived at the place where Ragil and Juminta were mired.
When he saw two pairs of elbow-bound arms reaching‐gapai, three of them immediately darted to give help.
"Hey! Awaaass…!" The late Steel Swordsman warned his three careless comrades. As a result, the three warriors were also trapped in the mud of life.
"Shut up! Don't move much! If it keeps moving, the mud will be stronger sucking your body!" shouted the Steel Swordsman to his mired colleague. While his eyes are looking for something that roughly‐ can be used to save them.
While the three swordsmen keep moving‐move while scratching there‐sini. They felt a small animal biting all over the body. It feels hot and painful! The three continued moving and shouted‐ shouted, without caring for the Steel Swordsman's warning.
The Steel Swordsman immediately ran over to the horde of bamboo trees that were around the place. He chose a large bamboo tree. There was the sound of a bamboo rod being broken by the hit of the swordsman's hand.
By exerting his power, the Steel Swordsman threw the bamboo stick into a grassy field, where three of his friends were fighting death. Two more people are confirmed dead. The bamboo stick floated and fell across the front of the three warriors.
"Quick! Hold this bamboo strong‐strong!" shouted the Steel Swordsman. With the help of a friend who was still left, the Steel Swordsman immediately pulled the bamboo stick.
Once out of the mud of death, the three warriors immediately took off their clothes. The Steel Swordsman and swordsman who had helped him looked at his three friends with confused faces. However, the confusion immediately changed with an overwhelming sense of shock.
The Steel Swordsman and a friend of his stepped back wide! Because, in the bodies of the three warriors who had just been saved, tightly attached dozens of animals as big as a thumb. All over their bodies had been soaked with blood from the bite of the beast‐.
"Leech Centipede...!" sera Steel Swordsman.
"Don't touch! That leech‐leech is so poisonous!" he shouted again, when he saw his friend would help the three warriors. When he heard the Steel Swordsman's warning, the man immediately pulled back his outstretched hand.
"Tapj.., but.., they have to be helped, Ki!" refute the swordsman, who felt unable to see the suffering of three friends.
"Respond Adi Jalung! They can no longer be saved. The poison of Leech Centipedes is very ferocious, and very quickly spread throughout the body! I'm sorry, Adi Jalung! Not to save them. But, we must also think about our safety!" the Steel Swordsman. His eyes flashed a sense of regret.
"Huh! Dedemit it's really‐ really don't have a heart!" furious at the man called Jalung. His face looks riled up.
The two warriors looked at three of his friends who were twitching and rolling on the ground while scratching their feet. They yell‐ scream and howl heartbreakingly.
"Aaah.... Itchy once! Ouch..., arrrhh...!" the three swordsmen lamented‐ratap while continuing to scratch‐garuk until their skin peeled off and bled. Not long after that three warriors were killed in a sad state.
The Steel and Jalung Swordsman turned his face away. Can't bear to see the death of three of his friends. Tear points rolled from the two pairs of gallant swordsmen's eyes. Although accustomed to living in a world full of violence and murder, they also feel unable to see the suffering of three friends.
"Wouldn't we bury their bodies, Ki?" said Jalung who did not feel the heart to see the corpse of his friend‐kawan left just like that.
"ah! have you forgotten, Jalung! Their bodies have been contaminated with poison‐toxin the rat!" replied the Steel Swordsman reminding his comrade.
"ah! Sorry, Ki! Why am I so forgetful?" jalung said while slapping his head.
"Easy! What matters now is how we get out of this motherfucker's place!" the Steel Swordsman. His face was doldrums.
"Ki! Will we be able to get out of this place?" jalung asked in a desperate tone.
Jalung seems to be feeling desperate! The death of his friend and his terrible friend, has hit him hard. Now he is just waiting for death to come to pick him up.
"Hm.... Do you want to wait for death without putting up the slightest resistance? Remember, Jalung! While we are alive, we must defend our lives until the last point of blood! Don't you want to be nicknamed your swordsman? Where did the shortness of nature that had been instilled by your teacher go? Hm.... How loving is that old man, who for many years educated and instilled the shortness nature of‐ in you. Turns out his efforts are in vain! Ah, what a pity sek said Pendekar Hand Steel while shaking‐ shook his head. There was sadness on his face.
At first Jalung just lowered his head without caring about the words of the Steel Swordsman who sounded furious. However, when the Steel Swordsman began to offend‐nyen alluded to about his teacher, Jalung's face was red instantly. The face of the loving old man. The old man who had educated her without expecting the slightest reward! The knowledge that his teacher had given him for so many years, will now be destroyed just like that, just because of the fear of death.
"No! I can't give up! I must rise! Got to!" Thus said the heart of Jalung who had burned his life spirit by the words of the Steel Swordsman.
"I'm sorry, Ki! Ah.... How shameful my attitude was," sighed Jalung who had realized his mistake. His attitude was indeed embarrassing as it did not reflect the attitude of a swordsman.
"Already, Jalung! Forgive me for my rather outrageous attitude!" said the Steel Swordsman smiled.
"No, Ki! I am the one who did the fool! Everything you said was true! I'm the stupid one, and I'm the one who should apologize!" deny Jalung again.
"Ah.., that's it. It's almost dark. Let's hurry, Jalung!" bring the Steel Swordsman. He immediately left the place.
"Alright, Ki! Come ...... Jalung immediately stepped following the Steel Swordsman who had stepped first.
The two warriors again began their efforts to find a way out of that terrible place. This time they really have to race against time. Because soon the whole village will be covered with darkness.
