LEGEND OF THE SON OF THE CELESTIAL EMPEROR
BAT DEMON

Yu Ming gently clasped his lover's palm back, then he pulled Ping Ru Meng into his embrace.

They both sat in silence, hugging each other, enjoying the atmosphere at dusk.

Until the sky darkened, the moon and stars began to appear, the two of them had just risen to their feet.

Hand in hand down the hill, towards the countryside below.

But unlike earlier in the afternoon whose atmosphere looks crowded, now the state of the village looks quiet.

There was not a single person they met on the street.

There were no shops let alone restaurants and restaurants that opened, all the doors were tightly closed.

There are no shops still open, nor are the homes of residents all closed doors.

Only the lantern lights in front of each house are visible to stay on.

So that the road becomes bright, but very quiet.

Yu Ming with an astonished voice said,

"Why Er is this small village when night falls always like this..?"

Ping Ru Meng furrowed her brows and said,

"I don't remember when my father and I used to come here at night ."

"But everything is normal, there are often night markets, lantern parties and so on.."

"Everything is normal.."

Ping Ru Meng replied in surprise.

"It looks like this village must be experiencing something.."

"Let's take a look at the more central, and more densely populated part of the settlement.."

"Maybe there's another clue..*

Said Yu Ming slowly.

Ping Ru Meng nodded, then she immediately followed Yu Ming, heading towards the middle of the village.

As the two of them arrived at the central part of the village, they saw a group of young men, sitting around the campfire.

Beside them each seen lying sharp weapons, such as a spear, spear kagak three, Toya, until the machete and machete, also seen lying beside them.

Seeing the arrival of Yu Ming and Ping Ru Meng, the dozens of young people looked shocked.

They stood up and stood by with their weapons.

One of the young men was a 30-year-old man with a thick mustache.

He stepped forward and said,

"Who are you two..?"

"What do you need for the night you come here .?"

"If there are no important needs, you should just go back home, don't wander around at night.."

"Finally, the situation is very unsafe.."

The man with the mustache reminded.

"My uncle and my father lived up there on the hill.."

"We've been moving out of here for a long time, this time my fiancee and I came here just to clean up my mother's grave.."

"After that, we'll get out of here.."

Ping Ru Meng explained.

The man observed Ping Ru Meng fixedly, then he pointed at Ping Ru Meng doubtfully and said,

"Are you Siao Meng..?"

Ping Ru Meng hurriedly nodded and said,

"Sister knows me, this brother..?"

The moustached man immediately smiled widely and said,

"I'm your brother A Niu, have you forgotten..?"

"Ehh A Niu ke, is that really you..?"

Said Ping Ru Meng while approaching her while laughing happily.

The man came forward holding onto Ping Ru Mengs shoulders, he observed her from top to bottom and said,

"Siao Meng you're all grown up, you're so beautiful.."

"I don't recognize you anymore.."

Ping Ru Meng happily held her little friend's hand back, and said,

"Thank you for the compliment A Niu to, Dad's situation is very good.."

"A Niu into his own how ? brother-in-law where is ?"

Ping Ru Meng asked excitedly.

"Your sister-in-law A Ling is at home with the children.."

A Niu turned towards his partner and said,

"Calm down, he's an old friend of mine.."

"It's not a stranger.."

His comrades nodded then, they sat back around the campfire.

"A Niu ke, what son is it now..?"

Ping Ru Meng asked happily.

"two.the first age 5 the second age 3 .."

A Niu replied with a smile.

He then looked towards Yu Ming and said,

"So this is your candidate Siao Meng ?"

"You're good at picking Siao Meng, he's even more handsome than uncle Ping.."

Said A Niu while nodding his head and smiling kindly towards Yu Ming.

Yu Ming returned respectfully to A Niu and said,

"Greetings A Niu ke,.. My name is Yu Ming.."

"Just call me Siao Ming.."

Ping Ru Meng himself smiled shyly, responding to the joke of his childhood friend.

To cover up his awkwardness Ping Ru Meng also switched the conversation with a question to A Niu.

"A Niu ke, why do our village eat so lonely and slow.."

"What's really going on..?"

A Niu let out a long sigh and said,

"When you tell me long, let's sit there talking in crowds while eating grilled yams..."

"Also there is a little wine and tea to warm the body.."

Ping Ru Meng nodded, then she clasped Yu Ming's hand following him walking towards the Campfire.

After introducing each other for a moment, they all now sat together around the campfire.

After Yu Ming and Ping Ru Meng came to sit there.

A Niu started telling stories,

"This incident began in the western forest, which is located across the river.."

"A month ago as usual some people in this village, who work as hunters, wood seekers, and medicinal plants.."

"They went to the forest of Cemara to the west there."

"the 10 who leave, the only two who return home, are left.."

"After they got home they told me, in the forest there they were attacked by a giant Demon Bat.."

"Hearing their stories the inhabitants became very angry and felt threatened."

"After this incident was reported to the village chief, village chief Lu, immediately gathered people, to go there, search and try to eradicate the troubling demon.."

"But upon arrival there, after searching here and there, in addition to finding the bodies of 8 other of our friends."

"There we only found a bat-sized demon the size of a dog.."

"Depending on the siege we made during the day, we finally managed to use the net to snare it.."

"Then we dragged him out of the forest, to be exterminated, to be burned alive.."

"3 days after the incident, the Giant Demon Bats came attacking and ravaging our village.."

"The smile threatened, every night he would come abduct a little boy.."

"For all of you to feel the same suffering as in nature.."

"After that incident, the swipe had a mouth, it turned out that the beginning of the catastrophe, was the result of the actions of our own hunters, who wanted to capture the child of the Demon Bats ."
