The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#149. Kuoka

The night began to move when Chen Khu was roasting his wild chicken on the fireplace he made. The moon looks somber because the sky is cloudy, a sign of rain will fall.

After filling his stomach.. Chen Khu then collected small twigs and kebar leaves to make a bivouac, because to find a cave as a shelter is not possible. After a few years.this is the first time Chen Khu again felt the night alone in a forest..

Chen Khu could still remember vividly, as he ventured from the rampage of the red Scorpion sect in his village and before meeting Lee Han, that was the first time he had spent the night alone in the forest, this time the situation is very different. If at that time he had to look for branches to avoid wild beasts, this time he only made a simple bivouac, because a savage beast would be his dinner if he dared to approach.

Chen Khu was seen pondering inside his homemade bivouac as the rain started to fall, although it was just a drizzle, but the sound of falling water was heard very clearly in the silence of the night, what a strange experience because no sound of night insects was heard in the forest.

The forest that Chen Khu visited today is still the territory of the Nishada kingdom.Just to get to the next village, at least it takes another day and a half on foot.

This forest that he lived in, has been included in the Himalayan mountain region just not a quarter of the forest area where it is currently located. Chen Khu regretted his decision, preferring to take shortcuts through the air, rather than having to follow the silk path.. the path was always crowded by merchants - traders who traveled from and to the southern mainland continent.

If Chen Khu had followed the path, he would not have been lonely tonight, according to Mathanadeva, on the path he will definitely find groups of traders who always go hand in hand in large numbers. They also often spend the night in the forest with tents - camps that are quite large and with strict supervision.

The night seemed to pass so slowly, having recovered some of its inner strength.. Chen Khu even his tububnya on the branches of the tree are neatly arranged and lined with foliage.

"Hmmm.not a sack of the palace bed." muttered Chen Khu inwardly, looking at the very dark sky, and not even a single star was seen that night.. rainwater has also begun to fall rapidly.even to flow through the bivouac he made, thanks to the branches are arranged neatly, the water did not wet the clothes Chen Khu.

Chen Khu tried to close his eyes in the darkness of the night and gurgled in the rain, but only a moment later did his eyes shut, Chen Khu suddenly woke up when his body felt a huge aura, which even makes the feathers goosebumps like it's heading towards him.

While fighting Wong Fei the aura he felt was not this big even felt many times over, and for the first time since meeting the wolf demon decades ago, Chen Khu felt fear and panic.

Sayup - sayup from a distance heard people talking.The sound rattled and slightly vibrated like the voice of a very old person.. but Chen Khu did not capture the other aura that the person was speaking to.

"Silver net..Where are you..? " that's how the voice that Chen Khu heard interspersed with the occasional swearing of the old voice.

Slowly the voice got closer which was accompanied by swearing many times, as if the person who spoke was blaming the falling rain for making his sight difficult. As the voice of the man drew nearer.. Chen Khu began to feel an overwhelming pressure on his body, Chen Khu was forced to use his inner strength to reduce the pressure but the pressure he got only reduced a little even as sweat soaked his clothes.

"Damn....!!what is this..?! " murm Chen Khu in heart.

In the darkness of the night, Chen Khu faintly could see a shadowy figure that continued to approach towards him, getting closer, getting closer, Chen Khu could confirm if a man was walking towards him while cursing incessantly - the one Chen Khu remembered most about was the silver fangs.. it seemed like the man was looking for an object he called silver fangs.

"Ho. ho. ho. there's a human child here.. " muttered the man then sat on a fallen tree trunk that Chen Khu made as a girder to anchor the wood that became the roof frame of his brain.. the tree trunk was to the point of creaking bearing the weight of the man although faintly Chen Khu could see if the man was thin and dry.

"Ho. ho.. What are you doing here young man " said the old man while turning towards the bivouac that Chen Khu was using, one thing that astonished Chen Khu was that the old man's clothes were not wet from the rain.

"Aa. i... "Chen Khu tried to answer, but his shortness of breath and the weight of pressure he received made it difficult to answer.

"Oh. sorry.sorry.young man.I forgot.I used it to prevent the ferocious beast from approaching me. "said the man then pulled out most of his aura and left a little around his body.

"She used a deep power shield to protect her from the rainwater" Chen Khu murmured inwardly while taking a deep breath - deeply after the pressure she felt disappeared.

"Hm.. Just passing..??! in Ankra forest..??! you tried to lie to me, right..?? you must also be looking for silver fangs, right..??! " said the old man half rebuked and again let out his aura to suppress Chen Khu.

"Grandfather.this is a misunderstanding.we can talk first." said Chen Khu with a very heavy breath.

"Grandfather..?? " oh Dewaaa.. it turns out I look very old.." said the man suddenly crying while looking at his thin body dry.

"Misunderstand what you said..?! you think I would just believe.. huh..?!! not just anyone dared to enter this forest unless he had a certain purpose. "hardened the old man.

"Sorry kek.but can grandfather pull this aura first I can die suffocating...!!" chen Khu said in a disconnected voice..

"Oh.sorry.sorry.".said the old man and retracted his aura making Chen Khu breathe again.

"Grandfather.go in first.we talk about it well. "said Chen Khu let the old man enter his bivouac.

"You're not trying to frame me, are you..?! " said the old man while raising his eyebrows.

"Grandfather can kill me easily if I do that. "Chen Khu replied and saluted.

"Yes. yes. yes.. true as well..! " answered the old man and entered the bivouac.

"Formerly introduce my name Chen Khu.. "..Chen Khu then recounted his origins briefly including his reasons for passing through the forest called the Ankra forest.

The old man looked mangosteen listened to Chen Khu's words and stared deeply into the young man before him.

"Sorry kek.. Why does Grandpa look at me like that..? " Chen Khu felt uneasy because of the old man's gaze as if he wanted to dive into his qalbunya.

"Ah.. it's okay - what.. I just want to know... do you have wine..? " ask the old man trying to shift the conversation.

"Arak..?? I was too long in the southern continent to forget that I had a stash of wine, " replied Chen Khu with a smile and took out two urns of wine from inside his magic cantonh..

The old man's eyes widened as Chen Khu took out two large urns from within his robe..

"KUOKAA..??! " where did you get it from..? " the old man said as he pointed at the magic pouch hidden under Chen Khu's robe..

"Kuokaa..?! mean this magic bag grandpa..?? " Chen Khu scrunched his forehead then took out the magic pouch that had been with him for quite a while..

"Yes.. Kuoka..!!ooh.. you are already shabby. " said the old man while stroking - elus the magic bag belonging to Chen Khu.

"Kuokaa..??! " murm Chen Khu inwardly while scratching his head.
