"Did you see Ki Karangseda and Ki Pungkur here yesterday?" asked Suryadenta directly.'No, Den,' said Pak Rahim after thinking for a while. Suryadenta looked at his three younger siblings in turn.Yesterday Ki Karangseda said that he had been there all dayhere with Ki Pungkur. While the shop owner himself said, did not see them yesterday."As for Sanggabawung and Sangga Kelana, did Pak Rahim see them yesterday?" asked Tirtadenta."Wow! If they are, they are here all day, Den.In fact, until they were called, they just came out," he said, calling the village head, "said Pak Rahim."Just the two of them?" asked Bayudenta connecting. "Right, and there are a few more people. But themimmigrants who rent my house," said Mr. Rahim."So, Ki Karangseda and Ki Pungkur weren't here yesterday?" Mayadenta wants to make sure."That's right, Ni. They're not here. Last night, they were here, but it didn't take long. Because then they left again with a woman and two men.""Pak Rahim know them?" chase Suryadenta. "No, Den. But it looks like they are from the circlesmartial arts. The woman is old, but still looks beautiful. As for the boys, they are still young," said Pak Rahim innocently."Thank you, sir," said Suryadenta.Pak Rahim nodded slightly, then walked away to the back. Meanwhile Suryadenta surveyed his surroundings. Then his eyes stopped on Rangga and Pandan Wangi who were enjoying their food, so that it seemed as if they had not heard the conversation. Suryadenta turned his gaze back to his three younger siblings."I'm so suspicious..." Tirtadenta muttered softly."Yes, I also don't understand. Why did Ki Karangseda give a false statement?" continued Bayu Denta muttering."I'm sure this has something to do with the arrival of the martial arts figures here. And one thing is certain, it has something to do with Ki Jatirekso!" said Mayadenta firmly.Suryadenta blinked one eye. And with the corner of his eye, he hinted, there were two people sitting not far from them.Simultaneously they glanced at Rangga and Pandan Wangi. The conversation stopped for a moment. Suryadenta blinked his eyes again, then they immediately enjoyed the dishes that had been prepared earlier. However, the corners of their eyes could not be separated from observing two people who were not far from where they were eating.Feeling that he was being watched constantly, Rangga got up followed by Pandan Wangi. The Sacred Eagle Warrior immediately placed three pieces of silver on his desk, then stepped out of the tavern. Seeing his guests leave, Pak Rahim hurriedly approached the table that had just been left by Rangga and Pandan Wangi. The old man gaped at the three silver coins lying on the table."Tsk tsk tsk... this kind of money can be used to buy a goatone," he muttered under his breath, shaking his head.Pak Rahim immediately put the money into his pocket. After clearing the table of his former guests, he then stepped back. with a beaming face. Why not? The money given by Rangga was so much, and it didn't match the price of the food.*** Rangga immediately stopped walking, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard of the Kali Anget Village Head's house. For a moment he looked at the house that looked deserted. Then Rangga took Pandan's hand. Wangi, and asked him to pass.Kali Anget Village is now completely filled with immigrants, so that in all the inn houses there is not a single empty room. Even people's houses were also forced to rent. For this reason, even though Rangga and Pandan Wangi had toured the village, not a single house was rented out anymore. Rangga was even more surprised by the state of this village."How about it, Pandan? There is no place to spend the night here," Rangga asked Pandan Wangi for his opinion."Well, what can I do...?" Pandan Wangi shrugged his shoulders."Even though it takes a week to get to the next village," said Rangga."Humph! It's boring, sleeping in the open all the time!" frownedPandan Wangi. "It's been two weeks, we explored the forest and slept in the open. It's hard to even rest for one or two nights!""Are you sorry?" asked Ranga. "No!" Pandan Wangi answered briefly. "Why so frowning?""It's okay," Pandan Wangi was indeed annoyed, because the image of sleeping on a soft bed just vanished. Even though at first he was excited to see the village, it turned out that the joy he got was not joy, but instead frustration. Because all the inn houses are filled.Their steps stopped, because they were blocked by two old men wearing flashy robes. The attitude of these two people, who were none other than Ki Karangseda and Ki Pungkur, clearly hindered Iangkah Rangga and Pandan Wangi. They stood straight in the middle of the street without moving an inch.Ki Karangseda and Ki Pungkur immediately took three steps closer to Rangga and Pandan Wangi stopped. While Rangga glanced to the right, and saw two more people already standing there. They were armed with large machetes tucked into their respective waists. It turned out that they were none other than Sanggabawung and Sangga Kelana. Both of them were young, probably the same age as the Sacred Eagle Warrior or a little more. There were bushy sideburns that almost filled their faces, making them look even older."Excuse me, may we continue our journey?" greet Rangga as friendly as possible."Who are you and what did you come here for?" Ki askedKarangseda was flat, but his gaze was sharp on Rangga's face."I am Rangga, and this is my younger brother, Pandan Wangi. We are travelers who happen to be passing through this village," said Rangga, still polite."Where are you going?" asked Ki Pungkur. "Nothing," said Ranga frankly.Ki Pungkur glanced at Ki Karangseda, then shook his head a little. Immediately Sanggabawung and Sangga Kelana left the place. While Rangga only glanced briefly, then looked back at the two old men in front of him who were still blocking him."You'd better leave this place immediately," said Ki Karangseda unfriendly.Ranga smiled and nodded. He tookPandan Wangi's hand and stepped back. While Ki Pungkur shifted his feet to give way. The two old men were still looking at Rangga and Pandan Wangi who were walking towards the west. Not long after, Ki Pungkur approached Ki Karangseda."Did you see the weapon that the young man was carrying, Ki Karangseda?" Ki Pungkur's voice was low."Yes," answered Ki Karangseda with a slight sigh."Judging from the hilt of the sword, it looks like it belongs to the Sacred Eagle Warrior," Ki Pungkur guessed.Ki Karangseda looked at Ki Pungkur who was standing beside him. Then his gaze shifted to the end of the road, where Rangga and Pandan Wangi had turned right earlier."I'm sure, he must be the Sacred Eagle Warrior," said Ki Pungkur so definitely."The Rajawali Sakti Warrior is always alone," Ki arguedKarangseda half muttered."But, that young man's features are very similar to the Profound Eagle Warrior!" Ki Pungkur still insisted."Ah, come on! He can't possibly appear here. The last news I heard, he was in the East region," argued Ki Karangseda."But ""Ah! Never mind, come on!" Ki Karangseda cut in quickly.Ki Karangseda took Ki Pungkur's hand and walked towards the village head's house.***"Come on, hurry up! Don't be late!" cried Suryadenta, jumping from his hiding place.His three younger siblings soon followed him. They ran quickly to the end of the road which had two bends. From the way they run, it can be ascertained that the knowledge they have is quite high. In an instant they were gone.They stopped immediately after arriving at the border of Kali Anget Village. A dense forest stretches ahead. Up here, the road has been cut off by a large river flowing fast. Not a boat in sight, just a raft connected by ropes to the other side."Maybe they've crossed, Kakang," said Tirtadenta.Suryadenta did not answer. His eyes stared straight across the river. No one was on the raft. Then his eyes glanced around. Suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, as soon as he saw the footprints printed on the banks along the river. The footprints lead to the estuary, and this means returning to Kali Anget Village."Follow me!" cried Suryadenta, his face brightened a bit.They walked quickly along the bank of the river towards the estuary. The footprints clearly marked those of two people walking side by side. For a moment they stopped walking, because the footprints they followed just disappeared."Excuse me, is there anything you guys are looking for?"The four brothers were abysmal when they heard a voice suddenly from behind. Immediately they jumped back. Now in front of them stood the Sacred Eagle Warrior and Pandan Wangi."If I'm not mistaken, it was the four of you who were at the tavern. Is that correct?" Rangga was polite with a smile on his lips."That's right," said Suryadenta."Then, what do you mean follow our journey?" asked Ranga."Sorry if we bother you. But we mean good to you," said Suryadenta."Hmm..." He furrowed his brows."Are you the Sacred Eagle Warrior?" asked Bayudenta impatiently.Rangga didn't answer right away, he looked at the four people in front of him. Then his gaze shifted to Pandan Wangi beside him. Bayudenta's question made him think."Maybe we misjudged, please Ni and Kisanak continue their journey," said Suryadenta, waving his hand, then turned and walked away from the place."Wait!" stop Ranga.Suryadenta stopped. While Rangga approached them, followed by Pandan Wangi."May I know, what are you looking for Swordsman for?Rajawali Sakti?" asked Rangga probingly."Does Kisanak know where the Sacred Eagle Warrior is?" asked Suryadenta, ignoring Rangga's question."I'll show you, if you want to tellthe reason," said Rangga.Suryadenta looked at his three younger siblings. Everyone nodded slowly, agreeing with Rangga's suggestion."Okay, I really can't explain in detail. But, if you want to know everything, you can meet Ki Jatirekso or Jaka Wulung," said Suryadenta."Hmm..., who are they?""The village head and his son. Their house is the biggest in this village. I'm sure you've passed it before," said Bayudenta."Then should I ask the village head first?""Correct!""Come on, Panda!"Ranga immediately jumped quickly. Pandan Wangi followed him. As soon as they left, in an instant they had disappeared from sight. The four people who witnessed it just gaped."What now, Brother?" asked Tirtadenta."We have to go to the village head's house, but secretly," said Suryadenta."I'm sure, he must be the Sacred Eagle Warrior. Not many people can disappear so fast," said Mayadenta half muttering.No one responded to Mayadenta's words. Theyjust keep walking fast towards Kali Anget Village. Their destination is certain, namely to the village head's house. But Suryadenta invited him to take a detour."We'd better come openly, Kakang," suggested Mayadenta"No! We have to know, what's really behind all this. And only in this way, we can find out everything that happened!" Suryadenta denied."But what are we doing wrong?" Mayadenta still did not agree."For the sake of truth, all means must be taken." "Too big a risk, Brother."Suryadenta looked at his youngest brother."Okay, you and Tirta will come from the front. But act normal, Bayu and I will sneak up on you from behind," said Suryadenta, able to understand his only sister's concern."But if someone asks you?" asked Tirtadenta. "Let's just say, I'm at the village boundary!" answerSuryadenta without further thought."Come on, Bayou!"Mayadenta can no longer prevent. He could only watch the departure of his two brothers. Then he complied when Tirtadenta took his hand. Now they are separated into two parts with their respective tasks. Mayadenta himself still couldn't understand his eldest brother's way of thinking. But he had to obey, so that all the plans in Suryadenta's head could run smoothly.***Ki Karangseda looked grumbling when he left the village head's house. His sharp eyes looked at Mayadenta and Tirtadenta who were passing in the yard. For a moment they stared at each other, then Ki Karangseda kept walking followed by Ki Pungkur. Mayadenta was still staring at the two old men, and had just taken a step when Tirtadenta took his hand.The two brothers continued to walk through the deserted foyer. Not long after, they saw Jaka Wulung sitting pensively alone in the living room. Jaka Wulung immediately raised his head when he heard approaching footsteps. Meanwhile, Mayadenta and Tirtadenta immediately sat down in front of the village head's son, without waiting to be invited first."Just now I saw Ki Karangseda and Ki Pungkur," said Tirtadenta, speaking first."What are they doing?" asked Jaka Wulung."Nothing," said Mayadenta, shaking his head. "But they seem upset. What's wrong?""They pushed me," said Jaka Wulung quietly. There was anxiety on his face"What do they want?" asked Mayadenta wanting to know."Head!""Head...?!" Mayadenta and Tirtadenta were shocked. For a few moments they stared at each other."Whose head?" asked Mayadenta with a browwrinkled."Profound Eagle Warrior!"Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Mayadenta and Tirtadenta jumped with shock. Again they looked at each other. For some time, neither spoke a word. Tirtadenta couldn't understand even more, why did Ki Karangseda and Ki Pungkur want the head of the Sacred Eagle Warrior? Wre they. can not measure the height of the mountains and the depth of the ocean?Everyone knows who the Sacred Eagle Warrior is. Even though they had never seen it in person, the news they heard was enough to make goosebumps goosebumps. Until now, there has not been a single figure who is able to match his sacredness. Then, how is it possible to get his head?"What does Ki Karangseda want with the warrior's head?" asked Tirtadenta."I don't know. But he kept pressing me to find and cut off the warrior's head," said Jaka Wulung wearily."Why should you?" Mayadenta insisted, worried."I..., I...," Jaka Wulung looked confused, answering. Tirtadenta and Mayadenta looked at each other. They sensed that something was wrong with the village head's son. It seemed that Jaka Wulung was helpless in the face of Ki Karangseda's pressure. Is there a real secret behind all this? That question has been bothering the minds of Tirtadenta and his sister all this time."Tell me, Jaka! Why does Ki Karangseda wantAre you the one facing the Sacred Eagle Warrior?" Tirtadenta insisted.Jaka Wulung was still confused to answer. "Did he threaten you?" asked Mayadentaurgent too.Jaka Wulung remained silent. His tongue felt stiff to talk to. Only his eyes were rolling around staring at the two faces in front of him."You can't just be silent like that, Jaka. The situation in this village is getting more chaotic and more and more victims are falling. Do you want to add more victims?" Tirtadenta can't wait anymore."I can't say it, you better ask Ki Karangseda directly!" replied Jaka Wulung as he got up, and walked towards his room."Jaka Wulung...!" Tirtadenta snapped.But Jaka Wulung seemed not to hear and kept walking away from the two brothers. Tirtadenta got up to chase after him, but his hand was caught by his sister. He was forced to just let Jaka Wulung go into his room."Since earlier, I haven't seen Ki Jatirekso. Where is he?" said Tirtadenta half muttering, as if asking himself.Mayadenta looked shocked. He also just realized, ifI haven't seen Ki Jatirekso since earlier. As fast as a flash, he jumped and lunged at the tightly closed door of a room. It turned out that the room Ki Jatirekso usually occupied was completely empty. In fact, the situation is messy like a broken sailing ship that has just been hit by a storm.Seeing this situation, Mayadenta immediately headed to the door of Jaka Wulung's room. Then he knocked hard on the door of the room. But there was not the slightest reply from within. For a moment the girl strained her ears, and still not a sound was heard. Meanwhile, Tirtadenta, who was impatient, immediately broke down the door.Bang!"Jack...!" shouted Tirtadenta loudly.It seemed that it had not been that long since Jaka Wulung had entered the room. But why is the room empty? The window was also closed tightly."I think he came out through the window," Mayadenta said, opening the unlocked window.Realizing the state of the house was empty, they immediately went out the window. But as soon as their feet hit the ground, two shadows suddenly shot towards them. It turned out that Suryadenta and Bayudenta had come."Didn't you see Jaka Wulung?" asked Mayadenta straight to the point."No..." Suryadenta said shaking his head. "What is going on?" asked Bayudenta not understanding. "Ki Jatirekso disappeared," said Tirtadenta."And Ki Karangseda urged Jaka Wulung to behead the Sacred Eagle Warrior. But Jaka Wulung didn't want to tell the truth, instead he ran away through his bedroom window," continued Mayadenta."Crazy! What kind of game is this anyway?" snorted Suryadenta."Has the stranger arrived here yet?" asked Bayudenta. Tirtadenta and Mayadenta shook their heads while looking at each other. They had only seen Ki Karangseda and Ki Pungkur leaving the house. While inside there was only Jaka Wulung alone. And nobodyagain in that house.***Meanwhile, Rangga and Pandan Wangi were resting under a tree not far from the village head's house. Occasionally their gaze glanced at the bustling street filled with people going back and forth with their respective activities."I'm sure you've known Ki Karangseda," said Pandan Wangi."Just hearing the name this time," complained Rangga.His hand picked up the pebbles and threw them away."But why would he want your head?" Pandan Wangi asked, still not believing in Rangga's answer.They had heard all the conversations clearly at Ki Jatirekso's house. But Rangga and Pandan Wangi deliberately did not show up. They want to know more clearly, what exactly is going on."That's what I'm thinking now, Pandan," said Rangga after a long silence."In that case, why didn't we just chase Jaka Wulung?""What for?" Rangga asked back."Why, for what? He was ordered to cut off your head. Of course he knew what Ki Karangseda meant to want your head.""What I want is me. So let that old man find me! Why bother with him?""You're getting selfish, Brother!""No! So far, I've never been selfish.""Indeed, but you must remember! Under such circumstances, Jaka Wulung's life is in danger, and we must act!""We'll just wait for the progress, Pandan," replied Rangga giving in.Not long after that they got up. For a moment their eyes stared at the big house where the Head of Kali Anget Village lived. After that they turned around and were about to walk away. But just as their legs swung, suddenly…."Watch out !" shouted Rangga loudly.Instantly he pushed Pandan Wangi's body, and his right hand moved quickly to catch a black object that was rushing towards him while jumping. Whereas Pandan Wangi, who had been pushed earlier, rolled over, then like a swallow, he jumped and got up again. His hand immediately pulled out the fan tucked into his waist. A steel fan with sharp, pointed edges.Rangga immediately observed three jet black arrows clutched in his hand. His eyes, as sharp as an eagle's, managed to catch a glimpse of a black shadow from behind the bushes to his right.Realizing this, he immediately flipped while slapping his left hand quickly. And before his feet hit the ground again, Rangga had already thrown the arrows he had grabbed towards the black shadow.Crab, crab, crab...!Three black shadows rushed out of the thicket. For a moment Rangga observed three men dressed all in black, who were now standing in front of him."That's great! It's not for nothing that you got the nickname of Demonic Eagle Warrior!" said one standing in the middle. His voice was small, but sounded shrill."Who are you?" asked Ranga."Hik hic hic..., we are the ones who got the nickname Three Skeleton Shadows!""No wonder! Your body is as thin as a skull," Pandan Wangi muttered."Why do you want to kill me?" Ranga asked again. "He he he..., a thousand pieces of gold for your head,Divine Eagle Warrior! It's really extraordinary, your head is so expensive," said the person standing on the far rightRangga shifted his feet to the left side, approaching Pandan Wangi. For a moment tilted his head and whispered in the girl's ear."You step aside first, little brother," whispered Rangga."What?!" Pandan Wangi immediately grinned at being called a little brother."That's right! You just get out of the way sweet child," squeaked one of the Three Skeleton Shadows.Pandan Wangi couldn't do anything anymore, because Rangga had already pushed his shoulder to get out of the way. Like it or not, he was forced to step aside. But not too far from the Sacred Eagle Warrior.For a moment Rangga glanced at Pandan Wangi. He was also exasperated, because the girl was just standing under a tree that was still too close."You'd better take off your head yourself, brat! So we don't have to bother with exerting ourselves," said one of the Three Skeleton Shadows standing in the center."If you want the money, work for it!" Challenge Ranga."Prepare to die, brat!""Wait!"Pandan Wangi suddenly jumped, and immediately stood in the middle. Of course the girl's recklessness shocked Rangga half to death."Pandanus...!" Rangga snapped a bit emotional."Calm down, Brother. Let me play with these ugly grandpa first!" Pandan Wangi said loudly."He he he..., get out of the way, sweet child. Your face is too beautiful, don't force me to ruin your beauty," said the person in the middle of mocking."I really want to be ugly like your face!" Pandan Wangi challenged curtly."Impudent! Rip your mouth off!" growl on the right. "Maybe your hand was cut first!""Demon...!"***
One of the Three Skeleton Shadows named White Skeleton Shadow immediately lunged at Pandan Wangi. You can see his fingers stretched out stiffly. While Pandan Wangi shifted his legs slightly, while pulling his body to the left. Then quickly, he whipped his death fan towards the stiffly expanding hand.White Skeleton Shadow was so surprised by the sudden attack, it immediately withdrew its hand. But before he had fully pulled it out, Pandan Wangi's leg suddenly hit his chest. The Shadow White Skeleton stumbled a few steps, but then he jumped to avoid the next attack. On the other hand, without putting his feet down, Pandan Wangi also jumped by rotating his legsThump, thump!Pandan Wangi's feet landed firmly on his opponent's back and chest twice. Immediately his opponent groaned and his body sank hard. While Pandan Wangi landed smoothly on the ground."Demon...!" he said."Just like that, it's already fallen, let alone against the Demonic Eagle Warrior?" Pandan Wangi mocked.The Three Skeleton Shadows were furious to hear thatridicule, and no longer underestimate the girl. They immediately moved and surrounded from three directions. While their thin fingers stretched stiffly, like iron claws ready to tear anything."Good! Go all of you!" snorted Pandan Wangi.Not far from there, Rangga was still standing in his place. Actually, he was still worried about Pandan Wangi, even though earlier Pandan Wangi had already shown the progress he had made. Meanwhile, the battle between Pandan Wangi and Three Shadow Skeletons was already fierceRangga was surprised to see Pandan Wangi able to match his opponent up to ten moves. Even so, he was still able to match up to fifty moves once. Not unexpectedly, if the girl has achieved such rapid progress. His death steel fan in his hand flashed a silvery light that threatened the opponent's body."Hiyaa...!" Pandan Wangi suddenly shouted loudly andhigh pitched.Simultaneously, his body leapt into the air. After spinning twice, suddenly in his right hand was replaced with a bright red sword. While the death steel fan, is in the left hand. Now, with the Geni Dragon Sword in hand, he is like a grim reaper ready to take his life.Three Skeleton Shadows gasped at the prestige of the sword in Pandan Wangi's hand. But before they had the chance to act, Pandan Wangi quickly flicked his two heirloom weapons and struck like lightning.Bet!"Ah!" suddenly one of his enemies screamed stifled.His body immediately staggered backwards, while his blood was gushing profusely from the stump of his arm which was cut off by the sword. While Rangga, who was standing not far from that place, shook his head to the point where he saw Pandan Wangi like a raging lioness."Done you guys. Yeaaah ...!" Pandan Wangi shouted. Simultaneously, his body spun rapidly.While the red light that came out of his sword, confined his entire body. It was then that one of his opponents again had no time to dodge. So without mercy again, the thin man immediately screamed heart-rendingly while holding his chest that was pierced by a sword. Then his body fell to the ground motionless again. Meanwhile, Pandan Wangi stood up straight and stared intently at another person who was still alive."Now it's your turn, ugly grandpa!" snorted Pandan Wangi. The old man who lived alone immediately took a few steps back. His heart sank to see his two friends already lying covered in blood.While Pandan Wangi with sword in hand slowly approached his enemy."Pandan..." Rangga called as he approached.Pandan Wangi did not turn around. His sharp eyes stared at his enemy who continued to step back. Rangga immediately took Pandan Wangi's hand and pressed it down. For a moment Pandan Wangi stopped walking and looked directly at Rangga."Never mind, he is powerless," said Rangga to his senses."Remember, Brother. Just because of a thousand pieces of gold coins, he would behead you. Is it still worth letting him live?" Pandan Wangi glared at his enemy again. "Put your sword in, Pandan!" Rangga ordered firmly.Pandan Wangi stared intently at Rangga. Then he slowly inserted the Naga Geni sword into the sheath. Rangga smiled, then stepped closer to the old man."If I may ask, what's your name, Grandpa?" asked Rangga in a soft and polite voice."Black Skeleton Shadow!" said the grandfather coldly.It is difficult to know the real name of a martial arts figure. They prefer to use nicknames rather than real names.
