The Forest Prince's
Chapter 22. Strongest Man

In the afternoon, halfway to the Bear Tribe Region,

Warphan, "it looks like we're lost, guys."

I haven't seen any sign of life since we came out of the Dark Forest earlier."

Nial, "we're exhausted. It is only natural that we are careless and lost. We better rest and spend the night here. Tomorrow morning we continue our journey."

Pota then quipped Warphan, "father. You're a bad road guide and can't count on."

Warphan then replied, "at least I'm not a little boy who's just locked up in a cage. Haha."

Pota who heard that was immediately annoyed, "what do you mean Warphan? You need a cane as a guide, blind man. Hahahahaha." countered Warphan's ridicule.

Bullan, "already. Hearing your debate will be endless."

Khar, "i'm so hungry. I'm tired." Then lean on the big tree.

Nial then divided each other's duties to his friends, "Bullan and Pota, you seek water for our drinking and supplies. Powerbull and Khar, you gather wood to make campfires. Me and the Warphan will set up a tent for where we rest tonight."

Bullan, "well Nial. Come on boy, we'll find some magic water to grow your body. Haha."

Then start walking towards the river.

Pota, " shut up, Bullan!" said with annoyance. Then follow Bullan to find water.

Khar, "let's Powerbull. Who gets the most wood, dinner rations later must be added. Haha."

Powerbull then said, "hahaha. Come on, who's afraid." Then they both walk in search of firewood.

After quite a while, the six of them were already ready to do their respective duties, and had finished dinner. Then they were sitting enjoying the night in the middle of the forest, decorated by the starlight in the sky.

Warphan was busy looking around them, then suddenly he jerked and ran towards one of the big trees near them, then silent and noticed the trunk of the big tree.

Bullan, "what's up, Warphan? Are you fantasizing and thinking that the big tree in front of you is Azuna? I'm sure you must have practiced how to seduce Azuna with that big tree. Haha."

Khar, "after your dream, Warphan. You won't be able to get him to glance at you even for a moment. Haha."

Pota then asked the Powerbull, "who is Azuna they mean, the Powerbull? looks like she's pretty."

Powerbull, "she's really pretty. Azuna is the leader of the Peacock Tribe. She was famous for her beauty and her army was beautiful and tough."

Pota, "in that case, you should get out of the way. Because I'm going to propose to Azuna."

Powerbull then tapped Pota's head and said, "you must be self-conscious. We're not all the criteria for the man she dreams of. Plus, you're still a kid, but think that far."

Warphan who had been silent and then issued 1 word slowly, "wate. We're getting into the wrong territory." We're sweating cold.

Nial immediately stood up and approached Warphan, "witness why Warphan? What's up?"

Warphan then pointed towards the large tree trunk before them, "see the hole in the trunk of this tree, Nial. Take a good look."

Nial then looked carefully, "like a punch mark.who could hit this big tree to a hole?"

Pota, "Nial, Warphan, what are you two doing? are you two in the same class?"

Warphan, "i'll hang you later in the big tree, Pota. just wait."

Nial then said, "let's sit next to them. And explain to us what you know about those punch holes."

Warphan, "alright, Nial."

then the two of them joined the others, then sat around the campfire.

Warphan then said, "I've heard of myths.

even that's always been my dad's bedtime story. When our father still holds the status of a prince in their respective Tribe, there is one prince who is notoriously cruel and creepy. He was big tall and muscular, and then he had a sideburn on his jaw, he never wore his robe and looked like a normal person,"

Pota suddenly interrupted Wolfbang's words, "now I believe that you are truly a sex offender and like your fellow man, Wolfbang. From what you're telling me, you're just explaining the physicality. You better stay away from us, Wolfbang."

Bullan, irritated by Pota's sudden interruption of the story, said, "it looks like we have a sudden assignment." and whispered to Khar and Powerbull. Nial and Warphan were just bobbing their heads at their behavior.

After a while,

Bullan, "our job is done, Warphan. Please continue your story." while sitting around the campfire, with Pota in the middle of Bullan and Powerbull.

Pota, "eeeeehhhhhhmmmmm." speechless because his hands and feet were tied, then his mouth was also tied with a rope so that he would not carelessly interrupt the conversation.

Warphan looked for a moment at Pota, then continued his story, "the prince is skilled at moving quickly between trees. He trained himself in the wild. He was always looking for a big tree that grew, then beating the trunk of the tree as his entertainment until the tree was destroyed. If the Horse Tribe prides itself on being a master of hand-holding martial arts, then the prince has a strong physique and his god in bare-handed combat. I've heard that he and the King of Helion often fight and the results are almost balanced. I used to be read that story by my father. If we do evil, he'll come at night to catch us."

Bullan then asked, "if he was on par with our father when he was young, then he should have been the Chairman of his Tribe by this time."

Warphan then replied, "right, Bullan. But he's not like any other leader we've met. The point is we better avoid meeting him.

Powerbull, "which tribe is he from and what's his name, Warphan?

Warphan then said quietly, "he is the leader of the Gorilla Tribe, and his name is Gori."

Pota was about to say something but was restrained by the rope in his mouth. Nial saw him and told Bullan to take off the rope in his mouth. After the rope was removed, the,

Pota said with fear, "I know who he is. He had fought with my father, and my father lost a landslide.His nickname as the strongest man was not just a talk. He deserves to be called a forest monster."

Nial, "we're going to go to the Gorilla tribe. We'll make an alliance with him. We'll have strong supporters to help us get rid of Tigerly and his followers."

Pota, "you don't fantasize, Nial. He is not subject to anyone." said pessimistically.

Warphan also said, "Pota is right, Nial. I have also heard my father say, Gori is one of the leaders who did not obey your father Helion. He does what he wants and does not care about the rules of the King. And you don't have to bother looking for the Gorilla Tribe's territory.

his army will seek us, for this is his territory."

Pota, "this is the Gorilla Tribe?" instantly, Pota also immediately shuddered.

POV Gorilla Tribe,

at the same time,

The Gorilla Tribe is a region that lives on trees. They made houses and guard posts on the border of the territory among the large trees. That's where they live. Then there is a big house in the middle of the area.that big house is the strongest man living.

Gori suddenly sneezed, "which other bastard dared to bully me?"
