The Fighter
Chapter 255 Forest Atmosphere
Not long after, several horned elephant beasts seemed to be running towards the Ashanka Chakra fight with his friend. But seeing the beast that was fighting the Ashanka Chakra, lying on the ground, the beasts stopped their steps. The beast stared at the Ashanka Chakra, smiling back at the animals.
"Listen to the horned elephant, I could have killed your friend. Likewise with all of you, I can destroy you in one attack only. But our coming into this forest, just to hitchhike through, not to destroy your hordes. Go. Before me and my friends lose patience with you." Chakra Ashanka shouted to talk to the animals.
"Ngikkkk.., ngikkk.." As if he could understand what Ashanka's Chakra said, the animals rumbled, as if talking to each other. But not long after, suddenly the animals turned around and walked away from Ashanka Chakra and his three friends. The three young friends took a sigh of relief, then walked closer to the young man.
Ashanka's chakra lowered her body, then crouched down and rubbed the back of the horned beast. The young man's hand entered into something from inside his ladybug, and took out a pill from his father's processing. Without speaking, Ashanka's Chakra hand opened the mouth of the horned elephant beast, and inserted the pill into the beast's mouth. Not long after, the beast became re-powered. Aided by the power of the Ashanka chakra, the horned elephant can quickly recover its power. Then the beast stood up, and rubbed its head against the young man's body.
"Go the horned elephant. Me and you weren't meant to interfere with each other, leave." Ashanka's chakra invites the animal to talk, her hand rubbing the animal's head. It seemed like the beast was reluctant to part with him, but the youngster patted the horned elephant three times in the stomach, asking him to leave. With a reluctant gaze, the beast finally walked away leaving the Ashanka Chakra and its three companions.
"Great are you Ashan.., not only can you defeat human power. But such a large beast could easily submit to your strength. Even you did good to the beast, didn't kill him and gave him medicine." Tarjono praised Ashanka's Chakra.
"Yes Ashan.., there aren't many young fighters like you who can easily control your emotions. You are indeed a swordsman who chose Ashan.., giving an opportunity to fellow beings to breathe the breath of life in this world." Sayogyo chimed in on the words of Tarjono.
Chakra Ashanka smiled, then embraced the three travel companions. It turns out that being out of college, for Chakra Ashanka feels really fun. The young man could know and see directly the animals with their respective levels of magic power.
"We need to find a place to rest tonight. Please you guys specify, we'll sleep on top of the tree, or we'll find a cave for temporary shelter." Ashanka's chakra offers her friends to rest their bodies. The three young people looked at each other, none of them dared to choose the choice given by Ashanka Chakra, because they both did not have experience.
"Yes.., since none of you answered my question, I suggest we rest on the tree tonight. It's not easy to find a cave on a night like this. Maybe tomorrow morning, we will be able to find a cave to take shelter for a while." seeing his friends are confused, finally Ashanka Chakra invites them to rest on the tree while waiting for the night to pass.
***********
The next morning
"Let's go down.., we must find a spring to cleanse our bodies, and prepare drinking water." Chakra Ashanka invites her three friends to find a spring.
"Tap.., tap.." The four youngsters nimbly jumped down. Above the ground, the Ashanka Chakra stretches its muscles, which overnight feels attracted due to its sleeping position sitting leaning against the trunk of the tree.
"Maybe the four of us can share Ashan's duties with each other. Some are looking for caves, and others are looking for springs. We'll send each other a code to signal if we've found what we want to find." suddenly Sayogyo proposes a thought. The other two friends agreed to the proposal, and finally the Ashanka chakra nodded its head.
"Well, me and Prastowo will find a cave to rest for the night. Ashan and Tarjono could search for springs to obtain a source of water. Use smoke to tell each other where we are." Sayogyo finally divided them, with one group containing two people.
"Okay, I agree. Let's split up here.." Chakra Ashanka quickly agreed to the proposal.
After Sayogyo and Pratsowo left, Chakra Ashanka immediately invited Tarjono to walk east. The young man's eyes observed the pattern of the trees leaning against his tree trunk. While putting up an ear to catch the splashing sound of water, Ashanka's Chakra and Tarjono continued walking eastward from where they had last stood.
"Tarjono.., let's go that way. Look at those beasts, some of them wet bodies. I'm sure on the other side there's a spring, where the animals are soaking up." Ashanka's chakra suddenly points to the east side a little to the south. Indeed, from that direction, a flock of animals appeared that was like just soaking in water.
Not long after the two young men walked, there was the sound of water gurgling in the distance. Tarjono smiled and gestured at the Ashanka Chakra. Without waiting any longer, the two people rushed towards the sound of water gurgling. After walking for a while, in front of them there was a shallow river with large rocks in it. The water in the river is very clear, and it looks like some fish are swimming to and fro.
"Look at Ashan.., we can catch some fish for our morning meal" shouted Tarjono while pointing to the middle of the river.
"Catch enough Tarjono.., we must also give the fish a chance to continue their lives." Ashanka Chakra responds to Tarjono's words. Before long, Tarjono and Ashanka Chakra had already entered the water. They soak and cleanse their bodies. Tiredness that whack their bodies feels vanished without a trace, like being carried away by a stream of water. Some of the fish were swimming, chased and caught by Tarjono, and were immediately cleaned to burn them.
