Sungsang Geni opened the pouch hanging on his waist, the 11 herbs that had accumulated at this time. Among the plants, some plants are known as roses and jasmine, but there is one plant in the form of fruit.
This fruit was the most difficult plant to take, not the desire to protect it but the two leopards that guard it. The yellow-colored fruit is only the size of a thumb, and is coarse-textured and has a pepper-like stem size.
Commander Ireng had enough difficulty facing a creature that was equally large like him, while Sungsang Geni was forced to use an energy sword to strip the tiger's head off.
He intended to tame one of the tigers as did the Irpanusa Rishis, but apparently to no avail. Instead of being tame, the tiger intended to chew on the head of Sungsang Geni.
“I will taste this fruit...” said Sungsang Geni fondle the fruit that looks delicious, “What is non-toxic?”
“Ger..” Commander Ireng shook his head.
“Already expected, this is not poison.” Said Sungsang Geni casually biting one fruit, “It feels a little sour, but quite fresh.”
Because it was quite delicious, Sungsang Geni took a few more fruits until finally 5 pieces had been devoured, while the big black wolf was starting to worry at this time.
“Gerr...Gerr's...Gerr..” Panglima Ireng growled, while mimicking the movement of people spewing out their entrails.
“What's wrong with you guys, you love this fruit too.” Said Sungsang Geni, “But a pity...”.
“A'a what happened?” Sungsang Geni felt suddenly his entire stomach as if slashed by a sharp sword, the pain grew more intense and spread throughout his body.
Deep wounds or whatever they are, they've never been this painful. The young man barely made a sound, he just gripped tightly his stomach and neck while Commander Ireng became riled up not knowing what to do.
The right arm of Sungsang Geni glowed brightly, suddenly the hot aura within the snake's body disappeared instantly.
Commander Ireng roared loudly, probably intending to call Pramudhita but inside the snake's belly any sound would not be heard.
The state of Sungsang Geni was getting worse, the young man rolled but of course the pain would not stop.
His eyes began to turn red, the light of his right arm became bright and at the peak of the pain Sungsang Geni was already unconscious.
A few hours later, the young man began to open his eyes his first sight was the nose muzzle of Commander Ireng sniffing, “You didn't kiss me just now?”
“Gerr..” The wolf jumped in excitement, then roared loudly.
Sungsang Geni immediately sat down, he did not feel any more pain all over his body even now maybe he became fitter than before. This seems like a dream, if not then what else?
Now all the wounds on his body were completely healed. Sungsang Geni did not know what the cause was, but if in this healthy physical state, he would no longer need to hide from the creatures of desire.
“Pramudhita said that this will hurt,” said Sungsang Geni remembered by the burly man's words, “But I did not think the pain almost took my life away from this world.”
But this was still not how much, Sungsang Geni was sure of it. Eating plants that have great life energy will not have much effect on him, maybe only 1 % of the true efficacy.
The plant he had eaten earlier only healed all his physical injuries and internal injuries. But that doesn't mean increasing the amount of energy in it.
“Already expected, my inner energy did not increase. This is different from absorbing energy from a stealth mustika, absorbing life energy is not an easy thing to learn.”
He turned his head towards Commander Ireng, asking why suddenly the snake stopped beating, but the big wolf replied with a growl.
“Grad the sun must have absorbed all the heat in this place, and maybe because of that the stomach acid became frozen and he froze to death.” Sungsang Geni.
He took out an energy sword, and easily made an exit for the two of them.
Commander Ireng was very surprised by the young man's ability, making him have not stepped in long before Sungsang Geni called out to him.
After coming out it seems that it is already noon. The rest of the thin mist was still flying, but the energy of the desire creatures had already gone away.
Commander Ireng took care of the body of the snake that had swallowed him alive, very large and long. If the head was twice as big as the wheels of a horse-drawn carriage, now the stomach was almost as big as a house.
He did not see the tip of his tail nor did he see the base of his head, for the white-robed tree curved along the body and covered the snake's body.
'If it wasn't for these trees locking him up, he would have been a big deal for the animal life in this place.' Mumbles Sungsang Geni.
In the end they continued their journey, Sungsang Geni climbed the body of Commander Ireng.
The wolf looked more familiar than before. He walked over with a bit of arrogance, realizing that the person riding on his back would be able to help if suddenly there was an enemy coming in the way.
As before, Sungsang Geni and Commander Ireng exchanged stories, although in fact only Sungsang Geni himself spoke unless the animal's slow growl sounded scary.
Sungsang Geni found some hot white wells, if noticed maybe this is sulfur coming out to the surface.
There were no plants living around it, a thin, arid land of smoke and a pungent smell like the smell of wolf feces. Commander Ireng raised his eyebrows when the smell of sulfur was likened to wolf feces, of course he thought differently.
Right, the crater of the peak of the semeru mountain was right in front of them. Soaring high and emitting thick white smoke.
Full of large and arid rocks, there are only two stalks of plants that live around it. And if they stepped about 50 meters again, then the vegetation of different plants they will find.
This was the limit of the forest of life, after which it seemed that there would be no more living plants except perhaps the plants he was looking for. But there was no plant he was looking for there, Sungsang Geni had just noticed with his sharpest eyes.
Sungsang Geni could feel the energy protecting the peak getting more and more concentrated. It seems that the story of the 3 sacred crystals is indeed true. And not only that, the aura that came out from inside the crater once made Commander Ireng scared.
Sungsang Geni had no intention of going to that place before his inner energy increased, he was not sure he would be able to. There might be many traps attached there, other than a hot magma overflow.
It could be that there are a lot of desire creatures that are there, or maybe it is their place. The nest of desires, if not then where else is the nest? Sungsang Geni had walked quite a distance, but found nothing to suggest that it was the lair of the monstrous white creatures.
“We have to go back!” said Sungsang Geni, patting the head of the Black Wolf slowly, “We can pass another way, who knows find something better.”
