The Fighter
Chapter 178 Ignoring the Situation
Wisanggeni, Sumpeno and Santosa immediately walked down the path leading to the top of the hill. Suddenly they heard the loud sounds of people arguing far ahead of them. The three people looked at each other, then..
"You need not wonder Wisang.. Many people from this part of nature, trying to complain the fate of getting the heirloom plate. So no wonder.., if suddenly we see a debate or even a fight in front of us. Be silent, we do not have to interfere in their affairs. Because sometimes we mean well, but other people think differently than we think." Santosa held back Wisanggeni's curiosity, in a quiet voice, the man advised Wisanggeni.
"Okay, we'll continue on our way. If that's your opinion, I agree with Santosa. We take the road a little to the other side, just so we don't meet them." Wisanggeni invites them to take a little road to the east side. Santosa and Sumpeno smiled, the three of them then walked by taking the side slightly to the east.
It turns out that what Wisanggeni conveyed was like a reality. Although the terrain they were passing through looked heavier, as they still had to get rid of the many thorny bushes that were blocking the journey, but they did not meet anyone else on that path.
"Bukk.., shhh.shhh.." suddenly a big snake fell from the tree. His eyes sharply stared at Sumpeno and Santosa with tongues outstretched. The two people instantly stopped their steps, and spontaneously took out a weapon.
"Retake your weapons. The beast will not bother us, step aside for a moment." seeing the panicked gazes of his two friends, Wisanggeni touched the shoulders of the two men, and Wisanggeni shifted closer to the snake looking at him with an angry look. Wisanggeni smiled then lowered his body, and finally crouched down in front of the huge snake. Wisanggeni's hand stretched out, with a smile the man rubbed the body of the slithering beast. Sensing a delicate touch, the snake closed its mouth again. Not long after, the beast turned its body around and immediately left to leave the place.
Sumpeno and Santosa smiled happily at the animal leaving them. The two immediately advanced forward and stood beside Wisanggeni.
"Santosa.., we forget that we are currently with the king of the serpent. Let's continue the journey, it doesn't seem like we need to worry about meeting a savage beast. The existence of this white lion will protect us from animal disturbance, and the serpent is easily subject to Wisanggeni." Sumpeno patted Wisanggeni on the back, and praised the attitude shown by the men who met them in the middle of the forest.
"Remember, animals will not disturb humans if they are not disturbed by human behavior. They usually carry out attacks because of urgency, and to defend themselves. Calm down if we accidentally meet a beast." after finishing saying those words, Wisanggeni grabbed the shoulders of the two people, and invited him to continue the journey.
As they walked, they did not feel that the day was approaching. In the western horizon, the sun has sunk in the contest and the night begins to close nature. They walked in the darkness, and far in front of them saw a ray of light.
"We're just heading to that place. Looks like there's someone who's already lit a fire for lighting. We can save our energy, and if necessary we will stay at this place." Wisanggeni pointed towards the front, then the three of them walked towards the fire point that was in front of them.

After arriving at the intended place, it turned out that not only those who came to that place. Many people who had arrived before them, and from various directions appeared several groups of people who also came to the place. Wisanggeni's mind is a little suspicious, maybe something will happen in that place. But the man decided to stay and wait for what would happen in that place.
"Be quiet first Sumpeno. Just listen to the conversations of people around here, without the need for us to enter into the conversation. It seems like the best thing for us right now is to wait and learn their moves." Wisanggeni spoke softly to Sumpeno and Santosa. Both men nodded their heads.
For a moment they were silent..
"While waiting.., who will warm up first?? Who dares, please come closer to me." Suddenly someone of great stature spoke with his bow. People no one cared about it, it seemed like they chose to save some energy, rather than having to waste it by fighting with people they did not know yet.
"Santosa.., remind you of that arrogant man?? Not that Gajahrosa.., the man from Gambir Anom college. The man is famous for often looking for problems with people. Just look at.., what he's doing right now!" Sumpeno whispered to Santosa trying to remind her of the man in front.
"Yes I know.., just shut up. I'm also lazy to fight, let him find trouble with people. We don't have to interfere." Santosa reminded Sumpeno to be quiet.
As no one responded to Gajahrosa's arrogance, the large man became even more furious. Out of his hand came a small circle of fire, then twirled around disturbing the silence of those who were resting. Wisanggeni squinted at the attitude of the arrogant man, but he also did not want to expend energy to respond to the person. Slowly Wisanggeni even closed his eyes, he tried to sleep.
"Nonsense.., what are you doing Gajahrosa..? I've been silent about not dealing with you, but you've instead made trouble by sending an attack at me." suddenly a high-pitched shout of someone was heard.
"Ha.., ha..., ha... Why?? If you want, try to fight me. You can avenge the attack that just hit you. It just so happened that I was looking for sweat tonight.." in a proud tone not admitting any wrongdoing, Gajahrosa instead challenged the person who had been hit by his attack.
Gajahrosa walked up to the person protesting against his attitude and behavior. With a mocking look, the man instead twirled the circle of fire in front of the man.
"Hugh.." the man's hand caught Gajahrosa's wrist, then twisted it. Gajahrosa grimaced, but was soon able to bring the situation back. Gajahrosa's hand caught the man's hand and then slammed the man's body to the side, Unexpected. Once he hit the ground, the man lightly jumped away from Gajahrosa. With a cynical look, and a smile on his lips, Gajahrosa was pleased.quickly the big man built horses to attack the man.
