Pendekar Nusantara
The Demon Valley Chief Vs Queen of the White Snake II

A few days later.

Night Day, midnight.

The atmosphere of the night is so quiet and cold, plus the dim moonlight blocked the night clouds.

The sound of wolves howling.

Aska and Araya, along with a horde of tigers, woke up from sitting burning deer and peusing their prey.

Facing towards the sound of the wolf howling. It was as if they felt a sign of danger.

A short while later, there were the sounds of wolf roars from all sides of the forest. The sound is getting closer.

Come out from the darkness of the night a pack of wolves that so many surrounded Aska, Aranya and a horde of tigers that were with him.

The wolf pack roared ferociously, like it was intimidating its prey. So did a bunch of tigers who were with Aska retaliated with his savage roar.

A pack of tigers with Aska and Aranya as many as ten male tigers. While a pack of wolves so many, about fifty wolves.

Wolves are notorious for their ferocity after tigers. And also the wolf in search of prey often clustered to adjust to the strength of its prey.

The wolf is also called the King of the Forest Dogs. King of all dogs on Earth Nusantara. Of course in terms of its vastness is very ferocious.

A horde of tigers roared ferociously while surrounding Aska and Aranya. Aska and Araanya are opposite each other in a standby position.

After several knocks of fighting each other roaring beasts, the pack of wolves began to attack.

A pack of tigers fighting alongside Aska set up a circular formation protecting Aranya.

Aranya released her arrows with her hands and body trembling in fear. So that many arrows released miss the target. Plus the speed of fighting wolves that are so agile, so that adds difficulty for Aranya in aiming at the target.

Aranya was frightened, because she was successively surprised by such a ferocious beast. Coupled with a battle of ferocious beasts that were so terrifying to tear each other apart.

It is not wrong if the tiger is called the King of the Forest, because one tiger can tear apart at least five wolves. Even the roar of one tiger was fiercer than the roar of ten wolves.

Aska retreated backwards towards Aranya, then held the hand of Aranya who was positioning his arrow bow. Aska looked into Aranya's eyes sincerely giving calmness.

The trembling in Aranya's hands began to subside.

"Just calm... There's not gonna be anything. Let's just say we're practicing... Take a deep breath" said Aska trying to calm Aranya.

The atmosphere began to calm down. The shot is more accurate than before. Aska began to rejoin the frontline fight with a horde of tigers.

Not long after, a pack of wolves were knocked back. Many wolves were killed.

A horde of tigers tried to beat back with a loud and ferocious maraum.

The guts of the pack of wolves started to shrivel and ran away.

After his fight with a pack of wolves, Aska and Aranya sleep in the middle of the forest. Surrounded by tigers who are on standby like they are guarding Aska and Aranya.

Aska and Araanya were wondering in her mind. Why did these tigers protect her and not pounce on her while being off guard? The events that happened in a while are still in a mystery.

***

Next day.

Aska and Aranya continue their journey with a horde of tigers that escort him. A pack of tigers helps Aska and Aranya in hunting and searching for food.

Protects by keeping Aska and Aranya while sleeping at night. Escort Aska and Aranya on their way to Lake Ranau.

***

A few days later.

Afternoon.

Aska and Aranya arrive at their destination, Lake Ranau. A lake in the middle of the forest and the foot of the mountain which is within the border area of the Kingdom of Srivijaya with the Kingdom of Salakanegara.

Aska approached the lake and washed his face. The water is so clear it looks so natural blue green. Freshly cold, the tired return of Aska during his journey.

Aska undressed, began to throw themselves by jumping into the lake.

"here... Seger the water," asked Aska to Aranya who was sitting watching Aska take a bath.

Araanya walked up to the edge of the lake, then washed her face with water from the lake. Sitting by the lake, drowning his feet.

Moments later, Aska finished her bath. So does Aranya.

Aska approached a group of tigers escorting her who was sitting relaxed, followed by Aranya from behind.

Sesaat Aska mendekat, Segerombol harimau tersebut berdiri.

A bunch of tigers bowed their fists for a while, and one of the tigers roared and turned, leaving Aska and Aranya.

Aska back, sitting on a big rock by the lake.

It was so late. Aska began meditating on the rock by the lake. Aranya sat sweetly on the stone in front of Aska while looking at Aska who was meditating.

The sun is asleep.

Aska woke up from her semen. Looking at Aranya who was still looking at him.

"What's wrong?" ask Ask.

Araya is aware of his daydream.

"Hm... It's nothing" replied Aranya.

"Tonight.. We spent the night here" said Aska.

***

A few moments later.

Midnight.

Aska is training her dance on a cliff by the lake.

Aranya woke up from her sleep. Slowly Aranya walked down the edge of the lake under the moonlight.

Araya saw Aska who was practicing. Aranyapun approaching Aska.

Aska finished her training. He looked at Aranya who was walking towards him.

"What's wrong? Why are you awake? It's still midnight" said Aska.

"What are you doing?" ask Aranya.

"I'm practicing" replied Aska.

"Practice what? I saw you dancing" said Aranya.

"Yes, I'm practicing dancing" Aska replied.

Araya walked, then sat behind Aska while watching Aska who was training her basic silat movements.

Aska turned back to Aranya.

"Why not go back to sleep?" ask Ask astonished.

"Ga's drowsy," she replied coldly.

"Then, here we train," Aska asked.

"Well.. What's?" He was a little surprised by Aska's invitation.

Aska approached Arana, then pulled her arm.

"Let's practice dancing here" said Aska.

"Eh... Ga.. I can't dance, "Aranya replied surprised to feel awkward.

"I teach" said Aska.

Aska and Aranya were in a position facing each other.

"their... Our journey is still far away.. And for sure I don't know your true purpose coming with me.. Maybe in the future we will face something more dangerous... So now just in case, I'm going to teach you the art of dancing" Aska said.

"Dancing art? Whatisit? Isn't it just that to guard yourself it's Pencak Silat?" ask Aranya.

"Yes... Pencak Silat is nothing but martial arts, like a dance," Aska replied.

The direction was silent and thought digesting Aska's speech.

"Now follow my moves... The name of this style is the Basic Silat Movement Red Rose Dance," said Aska began demonstrating her silat dance movements.

Aranya followed the movements of Aska little by little.

Aska taught Pencak Silat to Aranya in the same way as Ki Salawi taught Citta.

Regular, without pause, rhythmic, soft and smooth like silk. Aska trained Aranya under the bright full moon on the shores of Lake Ranau.
