The Sword of the Spirit Hunter
CHAPTER 2 | Finding a door in the cave

When he entered the quite dense forest, Xiaozi felt a little trepidation. He who had been surrounded by women and had a good time, now walked alone in the middle of the forest in shabby and dusty clothes.

After walking deep into the forest, Xiaozi then rested for a while under a shady tree and then tried to see the contents of his mother's storage ring.

His eyes widened to see the many piles of money and gold kept by his mother there. And there were also some of their clothes and some food that his mother used to prepare as she was about to go out of the family home of Zhen.

“Mother always prepares this every day, it turns out that today will be very useful for me.” Xiaozi smile while shedding tears longing for her gentle mother.

GROWLL!

Suddenly a tiger roar came approaching Xiaozi's resting place

Xiaozi who had just finished his meal, saw a tiger that appeared because it smelled food from him.

Xiaozi's eyes twitched at the presence of the starving tiger. He felt the killing from him.

“Sial, after I eat. Now I'm ready to be eaten by this beast” he murmured in heart.

Xiaozi then looked around to look for an escape gap, as soon as he saw the gap running as hard as he could. But the tiger still chased after him after seeing his “food” escape.

“Bigger! Don't chase. My flesh doesn't taste good you eat!” yelled Xiaozi while continuing to run

The tiger did not care about Xiaozi's cry, he grew even more starved after running after him.

Xiaozi, who rarely practiced hardships to run far, finally caught up with the tiger and jumped in front of him and prepared to pounce and roar.

GRAWLL!

“Damn it, you deliberately toyed with your prey kan” shouted Xiaozi who saw the tiger just grinned before attacking him.

The exhausted Xiaozi remained not desperate, he was trying to find something to dispel the tiger. His eyes then saw a piece of wood between the trees beside him.

As soon as the tiger jumped about to pounce on him, Xiaozi then rolled to the side to retrieve the wood.

Then using the wood, he tried to beat the tiger. But instead of fear, the tiger was even more excited and more fierce. The tiger's attack grew more intense and swift towards him.

Upon seeing the opportunity, Xiaozi again ran in the other direction quickly and did not pay attention to the surroundings. His body was covered in wounds by the shrubs he was passing through.

Suddenly his eyes were surprised to see a ravine in front of him. “Ah, I hit a dead end” he murmured in heart

When he turned around, the tiger was already behind him calmly walking up to him.

THE GREWLLL!

“I can't run anymore. It seemed like it could only pit its life against this tiger. What should I do?” thought Xiaozi who could not be separated looking around while holding the wood

Seeing that his prey had been cornered, the tiger grinned and then pounced again towards Xiaozi. This time the tiger's mouth was ready to bite Xiaozi's neck. But Xiaozi swiftly used the wood in his hand to resist the tiger's bite.

A GRIWLLL!

The tiger's voice was covered by the wood of his mouth until his roar was unclear. But the powerful tiger's right hand scratched Xiaozi's left arm to the point of being injured.

Blood dripped from Xiaozi's arm, making the tiger even more eager to eat him after smelling fresh blood.

The tiger then released its bite from the Xiaozi wood then retreated before starting to attack again.

Xiaozi's eyes suddenly saw a tree root on the edge of the cliff, then his mind tried to hide by using the tree roots on the edge of the cliff

He immediately jumped up and clung to the root of the tree, then his body slammed into the cliff wall.

“Ah, my hand hurt once” murmured in the heart to endure the pain of his left arm that was shedding blood.

GROWLL!

“Damn it, this tiger did not give up as well” thought Xiaozi

Then Xiaozi slowly descended the cliff using the tree roots and looked for a foothold around the cliff wall.

Suddenly his eyes saw a cave hidden behind the wall. He tried to get close to the lips of the cave.

When his feet managed to step on the lips of the cave, the roots of the tree he was used to hang had been successfully destroyed by the tiger's scratch and separated from the cliff wall.

It was fortunate for him to have stepped on the lips of the cave, thus making him avoid falling into the abyss.

GROOARR!

The tiger roars annoyed at the loss of his prey. Then left the cliff because he thought his prey had fallen into the abyss.

Xiaozi who was in the cave was grateful while he had escaped the tiger's target. But he has not survived completely. He did not know what he was going to face in the cave.

Xiaozi looked at the bottom of the abyss that was very far away, then turned his head to the top of the cliff that was quite high.

“Damn it, I can't go anywhere. I have to hang in here for a while” murmured in my heart

Finally Xiaozi decided to enter the cave even deeper. Earlier he saw if there was anything that could be used to light up the dark path inside the cave from inside his mother's storage ring.

“My mom is indeed a person full of preparation. It is possible that he prepared a lantern and a match in the ring.” Xiaozi muttered with a smile remembering his mother.

Xiaozi's mother Shi Yueyin was a very understanding woman and always prepared for any emergency needs in her storage ring. It is common for him to carry it every day in his storage ring in case of an emergency he will encounter at some time.

Unexpectedly his habit of preparing emergency items during this time will be very useful for his son at a time like this.

Xiaozi who had lit the lantern immediately walked into the cave deeper, his face tense and his heart pounding vigilantly at the possibility he would encounter inside the cave.

It turns out that the cave is not too deep, at the end there is like a door with writing and pictures in front of it “Door Alam Lain”

“Damnya, this writing makes me hesitate to go into it” murmured back.

Xiaozi's face was full of doubt,

“Do he have to open that door or not?”.

“How long will he have to wait inside this cave.?”

“Do he have to go up or down into the abyss?”

“What's behind this door?”

All those thoughts filled Xiaozi's head and made him even more confused.

Finally he chose to find the final answer, opening the door to find out what was behind it.

Soon he tried to push the door but to no avail. As hard as he tried but still failed, the door did not budge in the slightest

Desperate, he accidentally slapped his bloody hand and hit the picture on the doorstep.

A BANG!

The door suddenly rang and slowly opened.
